Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

After the explanation from the six weapon refiners, Chen Yuan finally understood that the long arrow had a single purpose and consumed few spiritual materials; one top-grade spiritual material was enough to refine one arrow.

However, arrows made from different spiritual materials have different powers, but those made from metal-attribute spiritual materials are the most suitable.

The black iron arrow that Yin Qianjie shot out was made from a top-grade metal-attribute spiritual material.

Chen Yuan readily agreed and took out the only two kinds of top-grade metal spiritual materials he had, along with a top-grade spatial spiritual material.

In this way, the long arrows forged will be less affected by the sealing power and their speed will be increased significantly. They can travel a distance of sixty miles in just two breaths, which is almost the same as teleportation.

However, after such an arrow is fired, the bowstring will vibrate much more violently, and it will take at least ten breaths for it to calm down.

During this period, only long arrows made of spiritual light can be shot, but a second arrow made of spiritual materials cannot be shot.

Chen Yuan originally wanted to replace the bowstring, but after the six weapon refiners examined it, they found that the bowstring of the Guanghan Bow was made of several kinds of top-grade spiritual materials, making it extremely tough, comparable to the tendons of a high-level dragon demon general. There was nothing left in this world to replace it, so Chen Yuan had no choice but to give up.

The long arrow is not difficult to make, but it takes a lot of time to smelt three kinds of top-grade spiritual materials with earth fire.

With the combined efforts of six weapon refiners, it can be completed in just two years, without delaying the forging of the Purple Kui Thunder Drum and drumsticks.

However, none of the six weapon refiners had ever heard of the spiritual material in the Guanghan Bow that could draw down the essence of the sun and moon.

Chen Yuan also took out the Xuan Yin Armor and the Cang Ming Halberd and let the six people examine them, but no one could tell what spiritual materials were used in them.

The six were even more shocked by the Xuan Yin Armor, which was half real and half illusory, as they had never seen such a peculiar magic weapon before.

Chen Yuan was also quite curious about the Xuan Yin Armor. This treasure had extremely strong defensive capabilities. He used the Zhan Sha Blade to strike it with all his might, but he couldn't damage it in the slightest.

The malevolent energy contained in the Demon-Slaying Blade was completely ineffective and was devoured by the demonic energy within the Mysterious Yin Armor.

Even with its full power, the Cangming Halberd could damage the Xuan Yin Armor, but the wounds were extremely minor.

Such tough armor is covered in wounds. I wonder what kind of powerful magic weapon could have left such a huge wound that extends from the beast head on the left shoulder all the way to the right chest?

These mottled scars left countless weak points in the Xuan Yin Armor, greatly reducing its defensive capabilities. It could only be repaired with true essence, but it still couldn't completely withstand the opponent's attacks.

It is likely that this is why Ren Laomo was severely injured by the Void Cicada.

If the Xuan Yin Armor had remained intact, he would still have been injured, but his strength would not have been greatly reduced, and he would not have been captured alive by Kun Chenglie.

Even so, the defensive capabilities of the Xuan Yin Armor far surpass those of ordinary spiritual treasures, and it can even withstand the Cangming Halberd.

Moreover, due to its unique semi-illusory nature, it also possesses considerable defensive capabilities against supernatural powers like the Zhu Yan True Fire, which lies between illusion and reality.

Unfortunately, even the six weapon refiners couldn't figure out what kind of spiritual materials the Xuan Yin Armor was made of, so Chen Yuan had no choice but to wait until after his ascension to find a way to repair the treasure.

If the Xuan Yin Armor is properly repaired, its power may not be inferior to the Cang Ming Halberd.

But for now, the Cangming Halberd is still superior to the Xuanyin Armor.

Like the Demon-Slaying Blade, the Cangming Halberd is incredibly hard, with an exceptionally sharp blade.

In Chen Yuan's hands, who had refined the Kunpeng's true blood, the Cangming Halberd could unleash the power of spatial destruction, shattering the void with ease; even top-tier magic weapons could be easily destroyed with a single strike.

Even magical weapons, unless they are as unique as the Xuan Yin Armor, cannot withstand several strikes from the Cangming Halberd before they are damaged.

Now, Chen Yuan can break the Five Elements Universe Formation without consuming a top-tier divine weapon. He only needs to unleash the full power of the Cangming Halberd to break it in one strike.

This is the power of true spirit. As Qin Wuyai said, this Cangming Halberd is no ordinary spiritual treasure or divine weapon. It is not far from being a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

Even the Kunyu clan, who have controlled this halberd for tens of thousands of years, can only unleash its true power by consuming the true blood of the Kunpeng.

Most of the records about this halberd are just vague speculations.

Chen Yuan could only wait until he ascended to the upper realm to find a way to upgrade the Cangming Halberd to a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

……

After initially refining three spiritual treasures and divine weapons, and one spiritual treasure, Chen Yuan's true essence was almost completely exhausted.

He then left Fulong Island to test the power of the four spiritual treasures, leaving him with almost no true essence.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy in Ao Cang Cave was abundant, and Chen Yuan's true essence was fully restored in just seven days.

Qin Wuyai and the other two were not on Fulong Island. Each of the eight royal families occupied a giant spiritual vein. Apart from the Chiling Mountain Range, whose source was greatly damaged, there were still seven veins left, which were extremely rich in spiritual energy. Therefore, the four of them did not need to cultivate in one place.

Daoist Cangsong returned to the South China Sea, Qin Wuyai went to Lieyuan Island, and Lu Wangquan went into seclusion in the territory of the Nightmare Crow clan that he had destroyed, waiting for ten years before the four of them reunited on Jinluo Island and ascended to the Upper Realm.

They had no interest in the affairs of the human race in this world. During this period, how to eliminate the demon race and how the human race would govern the Myriad Demon Continent were all under Chen Yuan's control, and the three of them would not interfere.

Chen Yuan also had a plan for this, but the time was not right yet, and he should focus on cultivation.

He took out the alchemy furnace, as well as seven low-level demon general cores, ninety-seven three-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, and more than three hundred thousand-year-old spirit herbs obtained from the six royal families.

It took a day to gather seven batches of Demon Essence Pills and sixteen batches of early-stage Nascent Soul Pills, and then he started refining the pills.

Before this, he had already refined several batches of Nascent Soul stage pills, increasing the success rate to 50%. Refining more pills was naturally a breeze for him. Two years passed quickly, and all twenty-three batches of pills were completed.

During this period, apart from drawing starlight into his body every year to replenish his true essence, Chen Yuan spent all his time refining pills.

Each batch of Nascent Soul stage pills he refined brought Chen Yuan immense benefits, and his alchemy skills improved rapidly.

When refining the ninth batch of pills, the success rate increased to 60%.

When refining the twenty-first batch of pills, Chen Yuan's alchemy skills reached a new level, and the success rate of pills increased to 70%.

Chen Yuan's alchemy skills improved at an incredible speed, but most alchemists in the lower realm could only refine a dozen or so batches of Nascent Soul stage pills in their entire lives.

It is not surprising that he refined nearly thirty batches of Nascent Soul stage pills in just over twenty years of Nascent Soul stage cultivation, demonstrating a rapid advancement in his alchemy skills.

He put away the alchemy furnace and toured the scenic spots on Fulong Island. Three days later, when his mind was at peace, he returned to his cave.

He sat cross-legged, raised his sleeve and flicked it, and twenty-one jade bottles appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Over the past two years, he has refined 133 pills, plus 74 pills obtained from the six royal families, all of which are here.

Such a large number of Nascent Soul stage pills are enough to allow three or four Nascent Soul cultivators to raise their cultivation to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

Even if Chen Yuan's true essence is pure and abundant, as long as he refines these pills, it will be enough for him to cultivate to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and there will even be some left over.

Moreover, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he had already refined twenty Nascent Soul stage pills, further reducing the number of pills he needed.

He picked up a bottle of pills, uncorked it, tilted it slightly, and poured out a pure white pill. It bounced slightly in his palm, as if about to fly out, but it was firmly bound by Chen Yuan's true essence and could not break free.

He smiled slightly, put the spiritually potent pill into his mouth, and swallowed it.

The pill entered the throat and instantly transformed into a ball of pure spiritual energy, carrying a slight coolness, which flowed into the meridians.

Chen Yuan closed his eyes slightly, facing the sky, focused his mind and silently circulated the "Nine Revolutions of True Spirit" technique, refining this vast and pure spiritual energy.

Cultivation knows no time, but Chen Yuan had just refined the twelfth pill and was immersed in the exhilaration of his rapid advancement in cultivation when a transmission talisman suddenly flew into his cave, waking him up.

Chen Yuan frowned, suppressing his slight displeasure at being interrupted during his cultivation. He took the communication talisman into his hand, scanned it with his divine sense, and heard the voice of a human weapon refiner in his ear.

He was slightly taken aback, then remembered that three years had passed since he handed over the Purple Kui Thunder Drum, the broken drumsticks, and the spiritual materials to the six weapon refiners.

They have repaired the Purple Kui Thunder Drum, and the drumsticks have been reforged.

As for those two top-tier long arrows, they had already been forged a year ago.

However, the six weapon refiners did not disturb Chen Yuan at the time, but waited until the Purple Kui Thunder Drum and drumsticks were finished before informing him.

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, and the sound transmission talisman in his hand suddenly burst into flames, turning into ashes and drifting away.

He flipped his hand and took out a new communication talisman, put it to his lips, whispered a few words, and then released it.

After finishing this task, he got up, left the cultivation room, and walked out of the cave.

The human weapon refiner was already waiting there. Upon seeing Chen Yuan emerge, he immediately clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Junior greets Senior Chen..."

Chen Yuan waved his hand: "No need for formalities."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took off in a burst of light, and the human weapon refiner quickly followed.

The two crossed most of Fulong Island and arrived at the weapon-refining hall located at the southernmost part of the island.

This place was originally the home of the Crimson Dragon lineage. It is full of volcanoes, rich in fire-elemental spiritual energy, and has several fire veins distributed underground.

The weapon-forging hall was built on an extremely violent fire vein at the southernmost end, making weapon forging twice as effective with half the effort.

The other five weapon refiners were already waiting outside the main hall. After Chen Yuan landed, they all bowed respectfully, even showing a hint of fear.

Chen Yuan cut to the chase: "Where is the magic weapon?"

The Dragon God Cult's weapon refiner immediately raised his hand and gestured, "It's in the weapon refining room, senior, please follow me."

Chen Yuan followed the six people into the main hall, passed through a deep passage leading underground, and arrived at a spacious weapon-refining room.

Three earth fire arrays were engraved on the ground. Two of the arrays were activated, and surging, intense earth fire surged out of the well, enveloping two huge refining furnaces that were about ten feet tall.

Chen Yuan spread his divine sense, and in the weapon-refining furnace on the left, a war drum about a foot in size was bobbing up and down in the rolling heat waves.

This war drum is entirely purple-gold in color, engraved with streaks of thunder patterns that, when gathered together, resemble a roc spreading its wings and taking flight.

In the refining furnace on the right, there was a drumstick of the same purple-gold color, shimmering with spiritual light.

The Dragon God Sect's weapon refiner bowed to Chen Yuan, saying, "These two magical treasures are about to be completed. We humbly request that you, senior, infuse them with your essence blood and leave your divine imprint!" (End of Chapter)
