Chapter 10: The Hidden Dragon Spirit Body, Rebirth and Transformation

The woman in the purple robe was none other than the foremost disciple of the current Li Celestial Master, Xu Yuanzhen.

She casually asked, "Have you met Little Uncle yet?"

Lei Jun replied, "Not yet. Elder Yuan emerged from seclusion and went to survey the newly opened celestial grotto of our sect.

"But he already knows your thoughts and has arranged for Senior Brother Wang Guiyuan to assist me daily."

Xu Yuanzhen said, "Apart from waiting for luck and my master, there is no one more suitable to inherit the teachings than Little Uncle."

Lei Jun pondered for a moment.

Two yellow-robed Taoists hurried over. One was the Daoist Master Luo in charge of this place, and the other was a newly arrived True Disciple from the Celestial Master's Mansion: "Senior Sister! You're here too?"

Xu Yuanzhen replied, "I was passing by on my way back to the mountain. Since I saw it, I'll stop and lend a hand."

She took out a small jade bottle: "I happened to obtain some Heavenly Abyss Clear Dew."

The two Daoist Master Luo and his brother were surprised: "The Heavenly Abyss Clear Dew that Elder Ziyang couldn't find?"

Xu Yuanzhen said, "Sprinkle it. It will prevent miasma, prevent disease, and soothe the mind and soul."

The other True Disciple from the Celestial Master's Mansion hesitated slightly:

"Senior Sister, we don't actually need so much Heavenly Abyss Clear Dew here. Should we save some for Elder Ziyang...?"

Xu Yuanzhen replied, "Third Uncle? How much does he owe me?"

The other person immediately smiled bitterly.

Daoist Master Luo took the jade bottle and said with emotion, "Senior Sister's concern for the people is truly a blessing for the disaster victims."

Xu Yuanzhen said, "If I can help, I will."

Daoist Master Luo nodded solemnly and said to Lei Jun beside him with deep meaning:

"Regardless of the future, we must remember Senior Sister's teachings today. As cultivators, we should strive to help those in need. Heaven has a benevolent nature, and it pities the suffering of the people!"

"Right, Heaven has a benevolent nature, and it pities the suffering of the people..."

Xu Yuanzhen, however, said calmly, "...just don't die at my doorstep."

Lei Jun: "..."

The two Daoist Master Luo and his brother: "Senior Sister..."

Xu Yuanzhen: "Get to work."

"Yes, Senior Sister." The two True Disciples from the Celestial Master's Mansion carefully took the small jade bottle and turned to leave.

Soon, the riverbank disaster relief camp was enveloped in a layer of clear light, peaceful and serene.

Xu Yuanzhen's fingertips moved, and she held another identical small jade bottle in her hand.

Lei Jun asked, "Is it also Heavenly Abyss Clear Dew?"

Xu Yuanzhen replied, "I originally planned to use it all here to eliminate the epidemic, but I divided it into two parts just now."

She looked at Lei Jun: "Do you have the Purple Gold Spirit Grass and the Dragon Horse Scale?"

In front of her, Lei Jun frankly said, "By chance, I obtained the essence of the Purple Gold Spirit Grass and a piece of the Dragon Horse Scale."

Xu Yuanzhen said, "It is indeed a rare opportunity. Let's give it a try."

As she spoke, she lightly flicked the small jade bottle, and a small amount of clear dew floated out of the bottle mouth, transforming into a green mist in mid-air, enveloping Lei Jun.

Lei Jun was neither surprised nor afraid. He immediately sat cross-legged and quietly regulated his breathing and qi.

The moment he saw Xu Yuanzhen, Lei Jun had been speculating that the third-grade opportunity mentioned in the upper-upper sign he had chosen might still be related to this Senior Sister.

The green mist enveloped his entire body, seeping into his body through the acupoints all over his body.

Lei Jun regulated his breathing and qi, and threads of golden light gathered in his limbs and bones, eventually coalescing into a Purple Gold Spirit Grass shadow.

As the purple and green converged, the Spirit Grass shadow immediately decomposed.

The threads of golden light and green mist intertwined continuously.

At this moment, the Dragon Horse Scale in Lei Jun's chest suddenly vibrated.

Without Lei Jun needing to inject true qi to activate it, the treasure automatically generated streams of light, which also merged into Lei Jun's body.

He felt all the acupoints in his body open, and three streams of spiritual energy intertwined and circulated.

Lei Jun was completely absorbed, and from the outside, it looked like green qi and purple light intertwined, and dragon roars could be heard continuously.

The visual and auditory effects were at their peak.

But on the riverbank, whether it was the many displaced people or the Taoist disciples and children of the Celestial Master's Mansion, they all ignored the commotion here, as if Lei Jun did not exist.

Everyone could only vaguely see a figure in a black cloak and a purple robe standing by the river.

Just one glance would chill the heart, and they would quickly look away.

After a long time, all the spiritual energy finally merged and coalesced into a single stream.

At this moment, a faint dragon shadow circled around Lei Jun and eventually completely merged into his body.

The green mist and purple light dissipated.

Lei Jun opened his eyes, and spiritual light radiated from them.

[Hidden Dragon Spirit Body]

A profound understanding spontaneously arose in his mind.

"Right, my constitution has been improved from average to a spirit body."

Xu Yuanzhen nodded, her speech as rapid as raindrops on a silver plate, but her tone remained calm:

"The Dragon Horse Scale, Purple Gold Spirit Grass, and Heavenly Abyss Clear Dew combined can create the Hidden Dragon Spirit Body..."

Lei Jun leaped up and looked down at himself.

He had physically crossed over.

According to the evaluation of the Daoist Child Academy of the Celestial Master's Mansion, Lei Jun's comprehension was not bad, but his constitution was average, at best considered average.

Not to mention comparing with those one-in-a-million geniuses and prodigies, even in the Daoist Child Academy, he was at the lower or bottom level.

After all, as a holy site of Daoism, the Celestial Master's Mansion had a high threshold for entry.

Often, an average constitution was not enough to enter the Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Fortunately, Xu Yuanzhen had introduced Lei Jun to the sect.

In the past few months, due to the essence of the Purple Gold Spirit Grass, his progress had accelerated.

Although the instructors praised him, their estimation of Lei Jun's upper limit remained conservative, mainly due to his constitutional talent.

Now, everything was different.

According to the classification of cultivation constitution in the Celestial Master's Mansion, the current world divides cultivation constitution into five grades, from low to high: inferior, lower-middle, average, upper-middle, and superior.

But above the superior grade, there were even rarer and more precious cultivation constitutions, known as spirit bodies, holy bodies, and immortal bodies...

Now, Lei Jun had leaped from an average constitution, directly surpassing the upper-middle and superior grades, to become a spirit body... Lei Jun raised his head again.

He immediately sat cross-legged, embraced the origin, and silently practiced the profound technique.

The vast amount of spiritual energy from the outside world was absorbed into his body at an unprecedented speed.

Then, it was refined into his true qi at a speed that was almost negligible.

Previously, he relied on the essence of the Purple Gold Spirit Grass to achieve remarkable results through sheer quantity.

Now, although the essence of the Purple Gold Spirit Grass had disappeared, the obstacles and barriers he encountered in cultivation had also vanished.

It was more than just bone-strengthening and marrow-washing.

This was a true rebirth and transformation.

The upcoming ordination ceremony at the beginning of next year was no longer hopeless.

Lei Jun took a deep breath, slowly finished his practice, stood up from the ground, and thanked the woman in the purple robe in front of him.

Xu Yuanzhen said, "As you said earlier, it is your own opportunity that led to this encounter."

Lei Jun nodded and looked back at Dragon Tiger Mountain.

If he had chosen to go to the Talisman Ink Workshop, he would have been caught up in the major conflict triggered by Chen Yi.

The conflict between the Li clan and the outsiders would have erupted, and the city gate would have caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond.

Even if he didn't participate, he might have been locked up.

Xu Yuanzhen's return to the mountain could have saved Lei Jun.

But the Heavenly Abyss Clear Dew would have been gone.

Because Xu Yuanzhen would have stopped temporarily at Qingyun Swinging due to passing by, using the Heavenly Abyss Clear Dew to help with the disaster relief and epidemic prevention before returning to the mountain.

She didn't seem to care whether using the spiritual substance in this situation was wasteful or not.

If Lei Jun had chosen the middle-middle sign to avoid risks, he would have avoided imprisonment but would have missed the Heavenly Abyss Clear Dew.

Only the upper-upper sign led Lei Jun to Qingyun Swinging, where Xu Yuanzhen met him before using the Heavenly Abyss Clear Dew, noticed he possessed the essence of the Purple Gold Spirit Grass and the Dragon Horse Scale, and divided the Heavenly Abyss Clear Dew into two parts: one for disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and the other to help him transform.

Thus, the third-grade opportunity, great fortune.

The path of the eagle soaring through the sky had become the path of the hidden dragon in the depths, about to rise to the sky.
