Chapter 728: Nine Transformations of the True Spirit, Meeting the Grand Palace Master!
"Hmm? Xiao'er has achieved a breakthrough to the Jindan stage!?"
Lu Changsheng immediately knew from the magic power and prompt sound that his son Lu Lingxiao had achieved a breakthrough to the Jindan stage.
Thoughts moved slightly.
[Name: Lu Lingxiao]
【Lifespan: 71/551】
[Talent: First-class spiritual root, Dragon Roar Body (residual)]
[Cultivation level: first level of elixir formation]
[Talent: Pupil Technique Compatibility (101%)]
"It's Xiao'er indeed."
Although he had expected this, Lu Changsheng was still delighted to see his son successfully break through to the Jindan stage.
Especially through the magic power flowing into his body, Lu Changsheng could judge that his son's golden elixir was of extremely high quality, surpassing that of his previous children.
But it is still a little bit away from the Great Dao Golden Elixir.
"Now that Xiao'er has achieved Jindan, the Qianyuan Secret Realm should be making quite a commotion."
Lu Changsheng stood up and walked out of the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, gazing at the great array of spiritual light above the Penglai Fairy City.
If it weren't for his son Lu Quanzhen and the matter of his Nascent Soul, under normal circumstances, he really wouldn't want to travel far away and be separated from his wife, concubines and children for too long.
"I don't know when there will be news from the Goddess Palace."
Lu Changsheng withdrew his gaze and sighed softly.
It is not easy to find someone in such a vast Starry Sea.
Even for a top force like the Palace of the Goddess, it may take several years to find clues through intelligence investigation.
But he really doesn't want to spend several years waiting here.
"Wait a little longer. If it doesn't work, go home first and bring a few Lu family members here to run the business and collect information."
Through these days of understanding, Lu Changsheng clearly realized that Xingxiu Sea is more prosperous than the immortal cultivation world of Jiang Kingdom.
Not to mention anything else, the Penglai Fairy City alone is several times better than their own Daming Fairy City, Jiang Kingdom's Jiuxiao Fairy City, and Qingluan Fairy City.
He could completely send a group of Lu family members to run the family business here and help collect and purchase all kinds of natural treasures and rare spiritual materials.
By then, you can even imitate a small Michen Banner and try to set up a teleportation array between the two places!
With the Lu family members here, it would be much easier for him to collect information about his son Lu Quanzhen or do anything in the future.
"After Xiao'er breaks through to the Jindan stage, you can consider sending him to Xingxiu Sea to train and adventure."
Lu Changsheng thought of his son who had just broken through to the Jindan stage.
Although the latter grew successfully under his protection, his potential was not fully tapped and was even restricted.
He integrated the [Emperor's Outlook on Qi] technique, which is actually very suitable for him to go out and explore the world and build his foundation on his own.
“However, Xiao’er has just broken through to the Jindan stage, and he still needs time to stabilize his realm and practice his magical powers and secret techniques.”
"Besides, he practices fire magic, which is not very suitable for sea areas like Xingxiu Sea."
But thinking of his son Lu Lingxiao's martial arts skills, Lu Changsheng shook his head again.
If my son is practicing the "Black Dragon Code", then it would be very suitable for him to come to Xingxiu Sea.
However, when he practiced Red Lotus's skills, went out to sea to hunt monsters, and fought with others, he was inherently weaker and was at a disadvantage.
Moreover, my son possesses the Golden Eyes of the Emperor and has a great talent in formations and dragon hunting. Now that he has broken through to the Jindan stage, in addition to consolidating his realm, it would be best if he could upgrade these two skills to the third level!
"There aren't many people available at home."
Although the Lu family has many disciples who have established their foundation, in Lu Changsheng's opinion, the foundation is still a little lacking and must be managed by a Jindan cultivator.
After thinking for a while, Lu Changsheng temporarily put all this aside and silently said, "System draw!"
With the previous Sun and Moon Mysterious Light Mirror and Daluo Sword Embryo, Lu Changsheng is still full of expectations for the third rare draw.
After a while, the golden light stopped on the "Kung Fu Book" column.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit"! ]
[The reward has been distributed to the system space, and the host can view it at any time]
A pattern of a jade book of martial arts techniques emerged from the lottery plate, accompanied by a system prompt sound.
"Kung Fu, Nine Transformations of the True Spirit?"
When Lu Changsheng saw that the reward was a martial arts technique, he frowned and sighed.
For him now, the martial arts are of the utmost uselessness.
Especially this kind of advanced technique.
Even though his "Yin Yang Creation Sutra" can govern all laws and be compatible with other techniques, what's the use of having so many techniques for him?
Moreover, the cultivation conditions for this top-level martial arts technique are extremely harsh. Few of the Lu family's own children meet the cultivation conditions.
He sighed and looked towards the system space.
[Kung Fu: Nine Transformations of the True Spirit]
[Grade: True Immortal Level]
[Explanation: The cultivation method created by Beiyue Tianzun has extremely harsh conditions. Each level requires the essence of a true spirit to cultivate. After refining it, you can use the art of transformation to transform into the form of the true spirit and possess some of the innate magical powers of the true spirit. It is incredibly powerful, and the highest level is nine! ]
"It has transformed into a true spirit form and possesses some innate magical powers. It is indeed extraordinary."
Just by looking at the introduction, Lu Changsheng could tell that this was a top-notch martial arts method.
But...that's all.
He really doesn't have much interest in martial arts right now.
After all, practicing can only improve part of your combat power.
If he wants to improve his combat power, it would be faster for him to seriously cultivate Brahma Demon's true body and break through the Nascent Soul stage than anything else.
"I don't know if this technique is difficult to practice."
Through the description of the technique, Lu Changsheng saw the strict prerequisites of this technique.
Each level requires a kind of true spirit essence and blood before it can be practiced.
Under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult for a cultivator to obtain the essence of the true spirit, let alone multiple kinds of it.
However, their own Golden-winged Sky Peng, the Soul-crying Beast, the Sea-splitting Black Dragon Whale, and even the Sumeru Tree King all possess true spiritual blood.
If it is not difficult to practice, my children can study this technique carefully.
"System, inheritance."
Since he had already won the prize, Lu Changsheng naturally could not complain too much. He just regarded it as a way to improve his own skills.
After all, that’s how lotteries work. You can’t be lucky every time and you can’t just get whatever you want.
Immediately, all the relevant contents about the cultivation method of "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" flooded into Lu Changsheng's mind like an enlightenment.
Lu Changsheng stood still, immersed in his thoughts, comprehending and digesting this true immortal-level technique.
"I knew that this kind of True Immortal-level technique couldn't be simple."
After a long time, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes as if waking up from a dream and slowly exhaled.
This book of Nine Transformations of the True Spirit is not very difficult to practice.
However, the conditions for cultivation are extremely harsh.
First of all, each of the nine transformations of the true spirit requires a kind of true spirit essence and blood.
Secondly, it requires sufficient cultivation and a strong physique.
After all, if one’s physical strength is not strong enough, one cannot use the essence and blood of the true spirit to practice.
For example, the first transformation of the True Spirit requires not only the ability to form a pill, but also a certain foundation in body refining.
Otherwise, it is easy to be backfired by the essence and blood of the true spirit during the practice.
As for the second transformation, not only does one need to have the Jindan level of cultivation, but one must also have at least the third level of body refining.
And there are certain requirements for the essence and blood of the true spirit.
It cannot be too different from the first one.
For example, before it was a large jar of the essence and blood of a top-level true spirit, but now there are only a few drops, which is the essence and blood of a low-level true spirit.
The third transformation can only be practiced by the Yuanying Zhenjun, and one must have the third-stage late body refinement.
However, the power and effect of this "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" is also extraordinary.
Each time one achieves a transformation, not only can one master the art of true spirit transformation, transform into the true spirit form, and master its indiscriminate magical powers, but one can also receive a baptism and transformation that completely changes one's character.
It improves the body, meridians, Dantian, internal organs, and Tao foundation from the inside out and makes them more resilient.
And the more true spirit essence and blood you obtain, the more powerful this technique will be, and the better the effect will be!
Every time you master a new transformation, the power of the previous true spirit form can be increased by another 10% or 20%.
If one cultivates to the ninth level, all forms of true spirit will merge into one, and become one with the Tao. Then, one can achieve the body of the supreme true spirit, surpassing many top true spirits and becoming invincible in the world.
"Anyone who can practice this technique to perfection must be a top-notch person with extraordinary talent. Why would they need to rely on this technique to be invincible in the world?"
After Lu Changsheng digested and comprehended this technique, he shook his head and sighed.
"Give it to Ping An later, Ling Xiao, and try the effect."
It would be a waste if you get the skills but don't practice them.
Lu Changsheng himself has no time to practice for the time being.
He planned to complete the cultivation of Brahma Demon's true body and the Nascent Soul secret technique first.
Although the breakthroughs in his children's realms did not help him much in his current cultivation, they did add up to a lot.
However, his cultivation level had long since reached its limit.
Therefore, he planned to use the magic power in his body to practice the Nascent Soul secret method of the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra to improve his Nascent Soul foundation.
"Wait, this book of Nine Transformations of the True Spirit, when cultivated with the essence and blood of the True Spirit, can not only transform into the form of a True Spirit, but also condense the True Spirit Dharma Image!"
"If I refine this True Spirit Dharma Image into the Brahma Demon True Body Dharma Image, how powerful will it be?"
At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of his true form as a demon, and his heart suddenly paused, and an idea came to his mind.
The Brahma Demon True Holy Art is a practice based on the three origins of Buddha, demon and monster, and has great compatibility.
Before, he rebuilt the Brahma Demon's true body. After the power of the Black Dragon's Nirvana and the Heavenly Phoenix's Nirvana were integrated into this Dharma true body, the power and effect were greatly enhanced.
So theoretically, the true spirit's Dharma image of the Nine Transformations of the True Spirit can be integrated into the true body Dharma image of Brahma and Demon.
Lu Changsheng tried to deduce and simulate it in his mind and felt that it was feasible.
"Haha, I haven't even started practicing yet, why am I thinking about this?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head with amusement, discarded these thoughts, and returned to the practice room in the courtyard to condense the magic power his son had fed back into a secret technique.
However, thinking of his son Lu Lingxiao's breakthrough to the Jindan stage, Lu Changsheng used the divination coins to divine the good and bad luck in the Dameng Fairy City and his family.
Although the secrets of Bihu Mountain and Dameng Fairy City were obscured by interference, as the lord of Bihu Mountain and Dameng Fairy City, he calculated that the resistance would not be as great as he did.
Lu Changsheng sensed that everything was normal and there was nothing good or bad about it. He then tried to figure out the condition of his son Lu Quanzhen.
Just like before, it is isolated by some force and cannot be calculated in detail.
Afterwards, Lu Changsheng continued to calculate his chances of becoming a Nascent Soul and how to act more smoothly.
Make use of constancy, there will be some setbacks, but good luck in the end.
After a long time, Lu Changsheng looked tired and obtained a hexagram from nowhere.
Although there will be some troubles in the process, as long as you remain persistent and patient, you will eventually find a solution.
"It's the same whether you count it or not."
Lu Changsheng shook his head, put away the divination coins, and sat cross-legged in meditation.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
These days, Lu Changsheng has been practicing in the training room.
Although the training room in this small courtyard is only a third-level lower-grade cave.
But after he used the magic power fed back by his children to condense the Yin-Yang Yuan Dan, he condensed the true body of Brahma Demon, so it did not affect him.
During the process, in order to avoid missing Shen Yiren who came to find him, he handed the access order to Qian Zhuyan, saying that he would notify him if anything happened.
On this day, Qian Zhuyan came to the outside of the training room and said that Shen Yiren from the Goddess Palace came to visit.
"Is it finally here?"
If the Third Palace Master doesn't come again, Lu Changsheng is going to go home first and bring a few children who are in the foundation-building stage and the Lu family members over.
Otherwise it would be inconvenient to use people on daily basis.
As I walked out of the courtyard, I immediately saw Shen Yiren, who was wearing a green dress and had a graceful figure.
She was not wearing a veiled hat today. Her beautiful black hair was lightly tied up. Her delicate face was flawless, with just the right amount of softness and beauty, making her look intoxicating.
"Meet the Third Palace Master."
Lu Changsheng looked at Shen Yiren in front of him, without concealing the surprise in his eyes, and even deliberately showed it a little, then bowed.
After all, if he wanted to become a happy couple with the Third Palace Master and attract each other, he naturally needed to send out some signals.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanmu."
Shen Yiren returned the greeting to Lu Changsheng in a gentle and appropriate voice.
"Did the Third Palace Master come here to get any news about my disciple?"
After inviting Shen Yiren into the courtyard, Lu Changsheng looked a little anxious and asked expectantly.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanmu, according to the search of our Goddess Palace, we have not yet found the whereabouts of your disciple, but we have obtained some information."
Shen Yiren said apologetically, then stretched out her fair and soft hand and handed a jade slip to Lu Changsheng.
"Thank you, Third Palace Master!"
Lu Changsheng had expected this and was mentally prepared, but he still took the jade slip and read it.
There isn't much information in it.
There are only some details about his son Lu Quanzhen's temporary residence on several islands in Xingxiu Sea in his early years.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanmu guessed that your disciple had entered the secret realm of Kunpeng's Nest. My second sister had entered this secret realm before, so when my second sister comes back, I will inquire for you."
Shen Yiren saw Lu Changsheng's anticipation, joy, and eagerness. Knowing that her disciple was out and his whereabouts were unknown, she felt anxious and uncomfortable in her heart, so she comforted him softly.
"Thank you, Third Palace Master. I feel really bad for troubling you so much. These are a few talismans that I drew myself. Please accept them, Third Palace Master."
Lu Changsheng took out a talisman box that he had prepared long ago from his storage ring and handed it to Shen Yiren.
The talismans here were carefully drawn by him.
Although they are only of the third-grade, top-grade quality, not only are their effects rare, but they are also all fine-quality talismans that can be given to talisman masters to copy, which is enough to show one's talisman-making skills.
According to his analysis, Shen Yiren is definitely a woman who would not take advantage of others. When the time comes, she will choose to return the gift and gradually reciprocate the gifts.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanmu is too polite. You have helped my Goddess Palace, and one of them is my nephew. With such a kindness, how can I accept another gift from you?"
Shen Yiren immediately said sincerely.
"It's just that Ye has some feelings for me, otherwise I would feel uneasy."
Lu Changsheng also looked sincere, like an honest man who never wanted to take advantage of others.
"In that case, I'll take it."
Seeing Lu Changsheng's sincere expression, Shen Yiren knew that if she didn't accept it, the other party would probably always think about it, so she planned to reciprocate the gift later and give him something else as a return gift.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanmu, I came here to talk to you about something. A few days ago, my sister came out of retreat, and I told her about you. I am planning to have a face-to-face meeting with you. I wonder if you are available now?"
Shen Yiren continued to speak to Lu Changsheng, her voice gentle and very pleasant.
"Interview?"
Lu Changsheng paused, knowing that if he wanted to enter the powerful forces of the fourth-level spiritual vein, he had to pass the level of Yuanying Zhenjun.
Although he did not intend to rent the fourth-level spiritual land of the Goddess Palace, he could obtain many conveniences by becoming a guest worshipper of the Goddess Palace.
This is the sister that the Third Palace Master mentioned. She is most likely the Master of the Goddess Palace, the Grand Palace Master Shen Jianjia.
The latter is one of the top cultivators in Xingxiu Sea, and Lu Changsheng doesn't know whether his disguise can deceive the other party.
"The Third Palace Master is talking about His Highness the Grand Palace Master?"
Lu Changsheng asked with a somewhat respectful tone.
"Yes, it's my eldest sister."
Shen Yiren responded softly.
"I wonder if I should be careful about anything when I meet the Grand Palace Master later?"
Lu Changsheng could actually guess the situation of this interview. It was mainly about asking about one's identity, intentions, and whether one had any ill intentions.
But now, talking more with the Third Palace Master can also help to build a closer relationship.
"Don't worry, I have already told my sister about your situation. I just need to ask about your identity."
Shen Yiren had a good impression of Lu Changsheng, especially because he was elegant, easy-going, and had a pleasant face. She was also happy to talk to him.
Moreover, in her opinion, Lu Changsheng was already half a guest official of the Goddess Palace and was worth winning over.
"Okay, I'm always available. It depends on when the Grand Palace Master is convenient."
Lu Changsheng heard this and said with a smile.
"My elder sister has been here all these days. If it's convenient for you, why don't we go over right now?"
Shen Yiren knew that her elder sister didn't have much time, so she spoke in a gentle and apologetic voice.
"Wait a moment, Third Palace Master. I will go and clean it up."
Lu Changsheng immediately came to the training room, and used the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone to seal and stabilize his own Qi, blood, and magic power, and then put Qian Zhuyan into the spirit pet bag.
As for the disguise, it is through the fourth-level physique and the Thousand Illusions Mask of Qingluan Zhenjun.
After finishing, Lu Changsheng went out with Shen Yiren and continued to talk to her, saying, "Is the Third Palace Master also practicing health-preserving exercises?"
"Ah."
Shen Yiren responded softly, saying that she didn't like fighting and killing, so she practiced health-preserving exercises.
Lu Changsheng took the opportunity to talk about medical theory.
Generally, monks who practice health-preserving exercises will also dabble in medicine.
In particular, Lu Changsheng read the "Essentials of Public Medical Practice" given by Shen Yiren several times and mastered most of it. They had many common topics and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.
As they discussed medical theories and health-preserving exercises, Lu Changsheng noticed that the Third Palace Master seemed to have some knowledge of alchemy and displayed some of his own knowledge of it.
As the third palace master of the Goddess Palace, Shen Yiren naturally has no shortage of people to communicate and discuss with on a daily basis.
But he had never met a cultivator as intimate and congenial as Lu Changsheng.
Not only do they practice health-preserving exercises like himself, but they also have knowledge of medical theories, alchemy, fortune-telling, etc., and we have many common interests and topics.
The more the two talked, the more they got along. During this process, the Third Palace Master was often amused by Elder Lu's humorous words and chuckled. Her elegant and soft cheeks had shallow dimples, and her expression gradually became more lively.
Just like this, the two of them came to the Goddess Palace talking and laughing.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanmu, we will talk later. Please wait here for a moment. I will go and inform my sister."
Leading Lu Changsheng to a reception hall, Shen Yiren said with a dimpled smile, and she and Lu Changsheng unknowingly became more natural.
