Chapter 728: True Spirit Nine Transformations, Meeting the Great Palace Master!

Hmm!? Lingxiao has broken through to Core Formation!?

The magical energy surging from the system and the accompanying notification sound immediately informed Lu Changsheng that his son, Lu Lingxiao had achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation advancing to the Core Formation stage.

With a slight thought.

【Name: Lu Lingxiao】

【Lifespan: 71/551】

【Talent: First-Grade Spirit Root, Dragon Roar Body (Incomplete)】

【Cultivation: Core Formation Stage One】

【Ability: Eye Technique Affinity (101%)】

It really is Lingxiao.

Although he had anticipated it seeing his son successfully break through to Core Formation still brought Lu Changsheng joy.

Particularly through the magical energy pouring into his body, Lu Changsheng could tell that his son’s Golden Core quality was extremely high surpassing that of his previous children.

However, it still fell short of a true Dao Golden Core.

Now that Lingxiao has reached Core Formation, the Abyss Secret Realm must be experiencing quite a commotion.

Lu Changsheng rose from his seat, strolled out of the small courtyard and gazed at the formation’s radiant glow above Penglai Immortal City with his hands clasped behind his back.

If it weren’t for his son Lu Quanzhen and the matter concerning the Nascent Soul stage, under normal circumstances he really wouldn’t want to travel far from home or be separated from his wives, concubines and children for too long.

I wonder when there will be news from the Divine Maiden Palace.

Lu Changsheng withdrew his gaze and sighed softly.

Looking for a single person in the vast Starry Sea wouldn’t be easy.

Even for a top-tier power like the Divine Maiden Palace, it could take years to gather information and clues.

But he was reluctant to spend years just waiting around.

I’ll wait a little longer, if there’s still no news, I’ll head back first and bring some Lu family disciples here to manage things and gather information.

Through his observations in recent days, Lu Changsheng clearly realized that the Starry Sea was more prosperous than the cultivation world of the Jiang Kingdom.

Apart from anything else, just Penglai Immortal City alone surpassed the Immortal City of Damengze, the Nine Heavens Immortal City of the Jiang Kingdom and the Immortal City of Qingluan by several times.

He could definitely send a group of Lu family disciples here to manage the family’s business, helping to collect and purchase various heavenly treasures and rare spirit materials.

At that time, he could even try to replicate a small Misty Dust Banner and set up a teleportation array between the two locations!

With Lu family disciples here, it would be much more convenient to gather information about his son Lu Quanzhen or for him to do anything in the future.

Since Lingxiao has broken through to Core Formation, I can consider sending him to the Starry Sea to train and explore.

Lu Changsheng thought of his son who had just achieved Core Formation.

Under his protective wing, although Lingxiao had grown smoothly his potential hadn’t been fully unleashed and might even have been limited.

His fusion with the Son of Heaven’s Aura Observation Core Fusion made him very suitable for venturing out alone and building his own foundation.

However, Lingxiao just broke through to Core Formation, he needs time to stabilize his realm and cultivate his Divine Abilities and secret techniques.

Moreover, he cultivates fire techniques, which aren’t very suitable for a sea region like the Starry Sea.

Thinking about his son Lu Lingxiao’s cultivation techniques, Lu Changsheng shook his head.

If his son had cultivated the Black Dragon Codex, then he would have been very suitable for the Starry Sea.

But he cultivates Hong Lian’s technique, going out to sea to hunt monsters and fighting others would put him at a natural disadvantage.

Moreover, his son possesses the Heavenly Golden Eyes and has a good talent for formations and Dragon Seeking. Now that he has broken through to Core Formation besides stabilizing his realm, it would be best to raise these two skills to the third rank!

There are still not enough capable people in the family.

Although the Lu family has a bunch of Foundation Establishment disciples, in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, Foundation Establishment is still lacking; there must be Core Formation cultivators holding the fort.

After a moment of thought, Lu Changsheng put these matters aside for the time being and silently said: “System, draw a prize!”

With the previous Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror and Da Luo Sword Embryo, Lu Changsheng was full of anticipation for the third rare prize draw.

After a moment, the golden light landed on the ‘Technique/Codex’ section.

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the technique: True Spirit Nine Transformations!】

【The reward has been issued to the system space, Host can check it at any time】

An image of a cultivation technique jade booklet appeared from the prize wheel, accompanied by a system notification sound.

A technique? True Spirit Nine Transformations?

Seeing that the reward was a technique, Lu Changsheng frowned and sighed.

For him right now, cultivation techniques were the most useless.

Especially high-level ones like this.

Even though his Yin-Yang Creation Sutra could govern all techniques and accommodate other cultivation methods, what use did he have for so many techniques?

Moreover, these top-tier techniques had extremely strict cultivation requirements, few of his children or Lu family disciples would meet them.

He sighed and looked into the system space.

【Technique: True Spirit Nine Transformations】

【Grade: True Immortal Level】

【Description: A technique created by the North Moon Celestial Venerable. The cultivation requirements are extremely harsh. Each level requires a type of true spirit’s essence blood for cultivation. Once mastered, it allows the user to perform a transformation technique, assuming the form of that true spirit and possessing some of its innate talents and Divine Abilities. Its power is astonishing. The highest level is nine!】

Transforming into a true spirit form and possessing some of its innate talents and Divine Abilities, it’s indeed extraordinary.

Just from the description, Lu Changsheng could tell that this was a very top-tier technique.

But… that was it.

He really had no interest in cultivation techniques right now.

After all, cultivating it would only increase his combat power slightly.

If he wanted to increase his combat power, diligently mastering the Brahma Demon True Form and breaking through to Nascent Soul would be much faster.

I wonder how difficult this technique is to cultivate…

From the technique’s description, Lu Changsheng saw its harsh prerequisites.

Each level required a type of true spirit’s essence blood to cultivate.

Normally, obtaining true spirit essence blood would be incredibly difficult for cultivators, let alone multiple types.

However, his Golden-Winged Roc, Soul-Taking Beast, Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale and even the Sumeru Tree King all possessed true spirit bloodlines.

If it’s not too difficult to cultivate, my children can study this technique.

System, inheritance.

Since he had already drawn it, Lu Changsheng naturally wouldn’t complain too much. He’d just treat it as a technique to enhance his family’s foundation.

After all, the prize draw was like this, it couldn’t always be good luck and give him exactly what he needed.

Immediately, the cultivation method and related content of the True Spirit Nine Transformations surged into Lu Changsheng’s mind like an enlightenment.

Lu Changsheng stood still, immersed in comprehending and digesting this True Immortal-level technique.

I knew a True Immortal-level technique like this wouldn’t be simple.

After a long time, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes as if waking from a dream and slowly exhaled.

The cultivation difficulty of this True Spirit Nine Transformations wasn’t very high.

But the cultivation requirements were extremely harsh.

Firstly, each transformation of the True Spirit Nine Transformations required a type of true spirit’s essence blood.

Secondly, it required sufficient cultivation and a strong physique.

After all, if one’s cultivation and physique weren’t enough, they wouldn’t be able to cultivate with the true spirit’s essence blood.

For example, the first transformation of the True Spirit not only required Core Formation cultivation but also a certain foundation in body refinement.

Otherwise, during the cultivation process, one could easily suffer a backlash from the true spirit’s essence blood.

The second transformation not only required Core Formation cultivation but also at least a third-rank body refinement.

And there were also certain requirements for the true spirit’s essence blood.

It couldn’t be too different from the first type.

For example, if the first was a top-tier true spirit’s essence blood and you had a large jar of it, now you only have a few drops of a low-grade true spirit’s essence blood.

The third transformation could only be cultivated by Nascent Soul True Lords and required a late third-rank body refinement.

However, the power and effects of this True Spirit Nine Transformations were also extraordinary.

Each successful transformation not only allowed one to master the True Spirit Transformation technique, assuming the true spirit form and grasping its innate talents and Divine Abilities but also granted a baptism of rebirth and transformation.

It enhanced the physical body, meridians, dantian, internal organs and Dao foundation from the inside out, making them even more resilient.

Moreover, the more true spirit essence blood obtained, the stronger and better the power and effects of this technique!

Each additional transformation mastered would also increase the power of the previous true spirit forms by ten to twenty percent.

If cultivated to the ninth level of great mastery, all true spirit forms would merge into one, achieving unity with the Dao, forming the supreme True Spirit Body, surpassing many top-tier true spirits and becoming invincible in the world.

Anyone who can cultivate this technique to great mastery is already a top figure of stunning talent, they wouldn’t need to rely on this technique to be invincible.

After comprehending and digesting this technique, Lu Changsheng shook his head and sighed.

I’ll let Ping’an and Lingxiao try it out later.

It would be a waste not to cultivate the technique after drawing it.

Lu Changsheng himself didn’t have time to cultivate it for now.

He planned to finish cultivating the Brahma Demon True Form and the Nascent Soul secret technique first.

Although the breakthroughs of his children didn’t help his current cultivation much, it accumulated over time.

And his cultivation realm had long since reached its limit.

So he planned to use the cultivation magical energy in his body to cultivate the Nascent Soul secret technique of the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra, enhancing his Nascent Soul foundation.

Wait, this True Spirit Nine Transformations, cultivates with true spirit essence blood, not only can it transform into a true spirit form but it can also condense a True Spirit Dharma Form!

If I refine this True Spirit Dharma Form into my Brahma Demon True Form, what will the power and effects be like?

At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of his Brahma Demon True Form and suddenly paused, a thought emerging in his mind.

The True Saint Skill of Brahma and Demons technique cultivated with the three great essences of Buddha, Demon and Monster, possessing great compatibility.

Previously, when he rebuilt his Brahma Demon True Form, the power of the Black Dragon’s Nirvana and the Heavenly Phoenix’s Nirvana merged into this Dharma Form, greatly enhancing its power and effects.

So theoretically, the True Spirit Dharma Form of the True Spirit Nine Transformations could be integrated into the Brahma Demon True Form.

Lu Changsheng tried to deduce and simulate in his mind, feeling that it had a certain feasibility.

Haha, I haven’t even started cultivating the technique, why am I considering these things.

In a 6 a 9 a book a bar to see no a wrong version!

Lu Changsheng shook his head with a smile, discarding these thoughts. He then returned to the small courtyard’s cultivation room to refine the cultivation magical energy fed back by his son into the secret technique.

However, thinking of his son Lu Lingxiao’s breakthrough to Core Formation, Lu Changsheng used the Divination Copper Coin to divine the situation of the Immortal City of Damengze and his home.

Although the heavenly secrets of Bihu Mountain and the Immortal City of Damengze were interfered with and obscured, as the lord of Bihu Mountain and the Immortal City of Damengze, his own divinations wouldn’t encounter as much resistance as others.

Sensing that everything was normal and there were no dangers, Lu Changsheng tried to divine his son Lu Quanzhen’s situation again.

It was still the same as before, blocked by some force, unable to divine details.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng continued to divine his Nascent Soul opportunity and how to proceed more smoothly.

Using persistence, small gains, ultimate fortune.

After a long time, Lu Changsheng looked exhausted, vaguely obtaining a divination result.

Although he would encounter some trouble along the way, as long as he maintained perseverance and patience, he would eventually find a solution.

It’s like I didn’t even divine anything.

Lu Changsheng shook his head, put away the Divination Copper Coin and sat down cross-legged.

Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

During these days, Lu Changsheng had been cultivating in the cultivation room.

Although this small courtyard’s cultivation room was only a third-rank lower-grade cave dwelling.

But after he used his children’s fed-back magical energy to refine the Yin-Yang Golden Core, he then refined the Brahma Demon True Form, so it didn’t affect him.

In the process, to avoid missing Shen Yiren if she came to find him, he gave the entrance restriction token to Qian Zhuyan, telling him to notify him if there was any news.

On this day, Qian Zhuyan came outside the cultivation room, indicating that Shen Yiren of the Divine Maiden Palace had come to visit.

She’s finally here.

If this Third Palace Master didn’t come soon, Lu Changsheng was preparing to return home first and bring a few Foundation Establishment children and Lu family disciples over.

Otherwise, it was inconvenient to get things done.

Stepping outside the small courtyard, he immediately saw Shen Yiren dressed in a turquoise dress, her figure graceful and slender.

She wasn’t wearing her usual light veil today, her black and beautiful hair was lightly tied up, her delicate face was flawless, perfectly soft and captivating.

Greetings, Third Palace Master.

Lu Changsheng looked at Shen Yiren before him, not hiding the amazement in his eyes, even deliberately showing it a little, then cupped his hands in greeting.

After all, if he wanted to form a relationship with this Third Palace Master, mutual attraction required releasing some signals.

Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xuanmu.

Shen Yiren returned Lu Changsheng’s greeting gracefully, her voice gentle and appropriate.

Third Palace Master, did you come here with news of my disciple?

After inviting Shen Yiren into the small courtyard, Lu Changsheng asked with a look of anticipation and eagerness.

Fellow Daoist Xuanmu, according to the Divine Maiden Palace’s investigation, we haven’t found your disciple’s whereabouts yet, but we have obtained some information.

Shen Yiren said apologetically, then extended her fair 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 examined it.

There wasn’t much information in it.

Only some information about his son Lu Quanzhen’s early years in the Starry Sea, where he temporarily stayed on several islands.

Fellow Daoist Xuanmu speculated that your disciple entered the Kunpeng Nest secret realm. My Second Sister previously entered this secret realm, so when she returns, I will inquire about it for you.

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s earlier anticipation, joy and eagerness, Shen Yiren knew the heartache and anxiety of a disciple being out and missing, so she softly comforted him.

Thank you, Third Palace Master. I’m troubling you so much, I feel really bad about it. These are some talismans I made myself, please accept them.

Lu Changsheng took out a talisman box he had prepared earlier from his Storage Ring and handed it to Shen Yiren.

The talismans inside were meticulously crafted by him.

Although they were only third-rank high-grade, not only were their effects rare but they were also all high-quality talismans that could be used by talisman masters for copying, fully demonstrating his talisman-making skills.

Based on his analysis, Shen Yiren was definitely the type of person who wouldn’t take advantage of others. She would choose to return the gift later, gradually establishing a reciprocal relationship.

Fellow Daoist Xuanmu, you’re too kind. You helped my Divine Maiden Palace and one of them is even my junior niece. How can I accept your gift with such kindness?

Shen Yiren immediately said with a sincere face.

It’s just a small token of my appreciation, otherwise I’ll feel uneasy.

Lu Changsheng also showed a sincere expression, as if he was an honest person who never wanted to take advantage of others.

In that case, I’ll accept it.

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s sincere expression, Shen Yiren knew that if she didn’t accept it, he would probably keep thinking about it. She planned to return the favor later by giving him something else as a gift.

Fellow Daoist Xuanmu, I also came here today to discuss something with you. A few days ago, my elder sister came out of seclusion. I told her about your situation and she wants to meet with you. Are you free now?

Shen Yiren continued, her voice soft and pleasant.

Meet?

Lu Changsheng paused, knowing that to enter a major power with a fourth-rank spirit vein, he had to pass the Nascent Soul True Lord stage.

Although he didn’t intend to rent the Divine Maiden Palace’s fourth-rank spirit land, becoming a guest elder of the Divine Maiden Palace would also provide many conveniences.

It’s just that the elder sister mentioned by this Third Palace Master was most likely the master of the Divine Maiden Palace, the Great Palace Master Shen Jianjia.

As one of the top cultivators in the Starry Sea, Lu Changsheng didn’t know if his disguise could fool her.

Are you referring to the Great Palace Master, Third Palace Master?

Lu Changsheng asked respectfully.

Yes, it’s my elder sister.

Shen Yiren replied softly.

Is there anything I should be aware of when I meet the Great Palace Master later?

Lu Changsheng could actually guess what this kind of interview would be like. It would mainly be about his identity, background, intentions and whether he harbored any ill intentions.

But he could take this opportunity to chat more with the Third Palace Master and get closer to her.

Don’t worry, my friend. I’ve already told my sister about your situation. It’s just a simple inquiry about your identity.

Shen Yiren had a good impression of Lu Changsheng, especially since he was gentle, amiable and pleasing to the eye. She also enjoyed talking to him.

Besides, in her opinion, Lu Changsheng was already half a guest elder of the Divine Maiden Palace and worth winning over.

Alright, I’m free anytime. It mainly depends on when it’s convenient for the Great Palace Master.

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

My elder sister is free these days. If it’s convenient for my friend, why don’t we go over now?

Shen Yiren knew that her elder sister didn’t have much time, so she spoke gently and apologetically.

Third Palace Master, please wait a moment, I’ll go and tidy up.

Lu Changsheng immediately went to the cultivation room, used the Nine Treasures Dao Bone to seal and stabilize his Blood Energy and magical energy, then put Qian Zhuyan into his spirit pet bag.

As for the disguise, he relied on his fourth-rank physique and Qingluan Zhenren’s Thousand Illusions Mask.

After finishing, Lu Changsheng and Shen Yiren left together, continuing their conversation. “Third Palace Master, do you also cultivate a health-preserving technique?”

“Yes.”

Shen Yiren replied softly, indicating that she didn’t like fighting and killing, so she cultivated a health-preserving technique.

Lu Changsheng took the opportunity to talk about medical principles.

Generally, cultivators who practiced health-preserving techniques would dabble in medicine.

Especially since Lu Changsheng had read through the Essential Treatise of Gongzhi Medicine that Shen Yiren had given him several times, mastering most of it, they had many common topics and chatted happily.

As they discussed medical principles and health-preserving techniques, Lu Changsheng saw that the Third Palace Master seemed to be involved in alchemy as well, so he showed off some of his own alchemy knowledge.

As the Third Palace Master of the Divine Maiden Palace, Shen Yiren naturally didn’t lack people to talk to.

But she had never met a cultivator as compatible and congenial as Lu Changsheng.

Not only did he cultivate a health-preserving technique like her, but he also dabbled in and understood medical principles, alchemy, divination and so on. They shared many common interests and topics.

The more they chatted, the more congenial they became. During this process, the Third Palace Master was occasionally amused by Lu Changsheng’s humorous words, her clear and soft laughter filling the air as a gentle smile graced her elegant features, gradually revealing a more lively expression.

And so, the two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Divine Maiden Palace.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanmu, let’s chat again later. Please wait here for a moment, I’ll go and inform my sister.”

After leading Lu Changsheng to a reception hall, Shen Yiren said with a smile, unknowingly becoming more familiar and natural with Lu Changsheng.
