Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 508 Wind-Riding Wings
The instant the Xuan Tian Fruit detached from the Xuan Tian Flower Tree, without any warning, the giant tree, over a hundred feet tall, instantly turned to dust and then completely disappeared into the void.

Yue Li only paused for a moment before returning to normal, clearly knowing that the Xuan Tian Flower Tree would self-destruct.

Then she moved and disappeared from her spot, and then flashed to appear next to Nie Zhaonan.

"Look!" Yue Li spread her delicate hand as if showing off, completely displaying the Xuan Tian Fruit to Nie Zhaonan.

He had only seen one Xuan Tian Fruit before, so Nie Zhaonan was naturally very curious and immediately focused his attention to take a look.

The surface of this fruit is covered with some dark blue patterns, which are somewhat similar to ice crystals and snowflakes, but upon closer inspection, they are also somewhat similar to celestial script.

On a whim, Nie Zhaonan took the fruit in his hand and stroked it a few times with his fingers.

It felt somewhat elastic to the touch, but was extremely cold.

Unable to discern anything amiss, Nie Zhaonan handed the fruit back to Yue Li:
"Quickly refine this treasure."

Yue Li nodded slightly, but before Nie Zhaonan's eyes, the Xuan Tian Fruit suddenly disappeared from her hand.

"It's refined already? How is it so easy?" Nie Zhaonan was taken aback. He had used up a lot of his essence blood when he refined the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword.

This was the first time Yue Li had seen Nie Zhaonan show such surprise. She chuckled and explained softly:
"The essence of the Xuan Tian Fruit is the power of laws. I used to often enter the Xuan Tian Flower Tree for seclusion using secret techniques, so I was naturally compatible with this fruit and could refine it without much effort. Of course, you can also use great magic power and blood essence to forcibly refine it for your own use. That's right, you don't have much understanding of the laws, so you can only resort to force."

As she spoke, Yue Li raised her hand, and the Xuan Tian Fruit appeared in her palm.

With a surge of her inner power, a blue light flashed from the largest round end of the Xuan Tian Fruit, and suddenly a hazy fan-shaped surface of light shot out.

The fan surface is an unusually clear blue, smooth as a mirror. At the center of the fan surface, there is a row of five strange blue runes arranged in a straight line.

The original Xuan Tian Fruit has now become the handle of this fan, which Yue Li can hold with one hand.

"The Xuan Tian Frost Fan! I wonder where this fan ranks on the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking," Yue Li murmured to herself, her face filled with joy.

"Why don't we just go out and give it a try?" Nie Zhaonan's expression changed, and he put his arm around Yue Li's shoulder, about to lead her away from Zixiao Cave.

"No!" Yue Li stopped her.

"The turmoil surrounding the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword hasn't subsided yet. If the Xuan Tian Ruyi Fan were to appear on the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking now, wouldn't that cause a huge stir throughout the entire Spirit Realm? Besides, I've already collected all the auxiliary materials needed to refine the Xuan Tian Treasure for you on Dragon Island. Let's wait until this Xuan Tian Treasure is refined before we reveal it to the world together."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Although Nie Zhaonan felt that the simultaneous appearance of two Xuan Tian treasures was even more astonishing, since Yue Li was his woman, he naturally listened to her on this small matter.

Just then, Xiao Jiu noticed the conversation over there and flew over on her escape light.

Upon seeing the stunning beauty Yue Li, Xiao Jiu seemed to understand something and said:

"Meet the Madam!"

"No need for formalities." Whether it was because she saw the adorable Xiao Jiu or because she was called "Mistress," a blush flashed across Yue Li's face.

"Xiao Jiu is the human form of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, a spiritual creature of heaven and earth. It is extremely skilled at managing spiritual herbs and tending the herb garden," Nie Zhaonan explained.

Receiving praise from its master, Xiao Jiu became even more enthusiastic and said happily:
"If you need any medicinal herbs, please let me know first, and I will prepare them in advance."

No one dislikes a well-behaved girl, and Yue Li was no exception. She smiled and said:

"I happen to have some medicinal herbs here, so I'll leave them to you to manage."

As she spoke, she flicked her jade sleeve, and a storage bracelet slowly flew out, landing directly in Xiao Jiu's hand.

Xiao Jiu probed her storage bracelet with her divine sense and immediately spotted several rare spiritual herbs she had never seen before. She beamed with joy:
"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely manage these elixirs well."

After saying goodbye again, Xiao Jiu flashed a white light and transformed into a ball of spiritual light, soaring into the air and heading towards a place rich in spiritual energy. It turned out that she was preparing to plant the spiritual herbs in the storage bracelet one by one.

"How can you have such an obedient little girl? I even want to forge another pair of spirit wings for her." Yue Li glanced at Nie Zhaonan and said to herself.

“You’re very well-behaved too.” Nie Zhaonan’s expression was ambiguous, but when he saw the look she gave him and the Xuan Tian Shuang Hua Fan that was flashing with spiritual light, his words came to an abrupt halt.

He was truly regretting it. Even though the Xuan Tian Frost Fan ranked a few places lower than the Xuan Tian Spirit-Slaying Sword, the ice attribute law power contained in this fan was extremely compatible with Yue Li, and her understanding of the law was extremely high. She could definitely use this fan to easily unleash strength far exceeding that of an ordinary Mahayana cultivator.

If they really fought, Nie Zhaonan estimated that he wouldn't be a match for Yue Li now.

After a pause, he said somewhat awkwardly:

"Ahem. It's good that you like Xiao Jiu. There are plenty of materials in the cave, so feel free to refine it if you want."

“Refining another Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure will only take me a few more days. I'm glad you don't object,” Yue Li said with a smile, and discreetly put away the Xuanbao in her hand.

“We are husband and wife, one body. Don’t you know how I treat you?” Nie Zhaonan laughed. “These are the elixirs I made based on the formula you gave me. They are perfect for us to take now to improve our magical power. There are also Heavenly Net Pills to enhance the efficacy of the elixirs and allow us to accumulate magical power faster, as well as Myriad Scales Pills, which are extremely effective for cultivating the third stage of the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique.”

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and a storage bracelet appeared in his palm. Without hesitation, he placed it into Yue Li's hand.

"I'm not really going to hit you, what are you feeling guilty about?" Yue Li smiled and put away the storage bracelet.

Now that things have come to this point, the two of them have been completely honest with each other countless times, and Yue Li can only accept her fate. In fact, she has not suffered any losses; on the contrary, she has gained immense benefits that cannot be measured in value.

"I was just worried you wouldn't understand right away. I underestimated you. A master is a master; how could I, a mere disciple, possibly fathom his thoughts?" Nie Zhaonan said with a smile.

"I'm going to refine a treasure. I won't leave seclusion on my own, so don't bother me." Yue Li kicked him away in annoyance, and a flash of spiritual light appeared on her body before she disappeared on the spot.

Nie Zhaonan stood there and sighed softly. With a thought, he left the Purple Cloud Cave.

He plans to go into seclusion to raise his magical power to the peak of the early stage of the Integration Realm in one go. Before that, he naturally needs to bring his Daoist partner, who is still outside, into this cave to avoid any mishaps.

Half a year passed quickly. Nie Zhaonan was currently in seclusion in a secret chamber within the cave, focusing on consuming elixirs to improve his magical power. Meanwhile, his fellow Daoists were gathered together by a spiritual lake.

"Sister Yue Li has already crafted spirit wings for us. This treasure is said to rank very high on the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking. We just need to wait here for a while; she'll be here soon," Xin Ruyin said softly to her sisters.

Upon hearing this, the sisters, including Nangong Wan, showed no joy on their faces. Instead, they all looked worried and preoccupied.

Seeing her sisters' expressions, Silver Moon became somewhat puzzled:

"Sister Yue Li specially crafted this treasure to give to us. She looks like she's easy to get along with, but why are you all a little unhappy?"

"Sigh, Ruyin, you should tell Yinyue," Nangong Wan said with some regret.

She doesn't know how to face Yue Li now, and she has no face to accept Yue Li's treasure.

It's all my husband's fault!
Xin Ruyin nodded, leaned close to Yin Yue's ear, and whispered in her ear.

Upon hearing this, Yin Yue was stunned. She thought it was bold enough that she wanted to spy on her husband's escape route through Yue Li, but she didn't expect her group of sisters to be even more audacious than her, actually putting on an act.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Xin Ruyin, who had spent some time with Yue Li and had a good relationship with her, offered words of comfort:
"You don't need to worry too much, Sister Yue Li is very good. If we tell her and apologize, this matter will be over. Anyway, we're all sisters now, it's nothing."

“Ruyin is right. Keeping it a secret will only become a thorn in our side. Let’s just be honest and let Sister Yueli punish us.” As soon as Nangong Wan finished speaking, Yueli’s voice came from the void beside her.

Upon hearing this, all the sisters except for Yin Yue trembled slightly.

Then, a figure flashed in the void, and Yue Li appeared silently, with Xiao Jiu beside her, covering her eyes with her small hands.

Nangong Wan glanced at her sisters, then spoke with self-reproach:

"Sister Yue Li, we..."

Before Nangong Wan could get to the crucial point, Yue Li seemed to anticipate what was to come and interrupted her with a slight parting of her lips:
"There's no need to say anything more. I know it's all because of that despicable guy. I don't blame you. Let bygones be bygones. Don't feel guilty towards me. We're all family, no need to be so formal."

"Sister Yue Li, you are so kind!" Xin Ruyin, who had been feeling down, suddenly felt much better and hugged Yue Li's arm, swaying it back and forth.

Nangong Wan, Yuan Yao, Wang Ning, Ling Yuling, Nie Ying, Chen Qiaoqian, Song Yu, and Bing Feng all looked astonished, but then their expressions of surprise and delight appeared. They never expected that such a serious matter would be so easily dismissed.

They still felt it was somewhat unreal.

"No wonder my husband likes Sister Yue Li so much. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very generous. She is truly a role model for us sisters," Yin Yue said repeatedly.

"That's right, that's right, Mistress Yue Li is so kind." Xiao Jiu chimed in at the right moment.

"Alright, everyone, let's not dwell on this anymore, let's forget about it." The scene she had secretly witnessed involuntarily flashed through her mind, and a blush briefly appeared on Yue Li's face.

"Come and see the spirit wings I've crafted for you; I'm sure you'll love them." Yue Li changed the subject at the right moment, bringing up the important matter at hand.

After speaking, seeing that all the sisters were looking at her, and with no more worry in her eyes, Yue Li smiled sweetly, gently flicked her jade sleeve, and ten clusters of emerald light shot out from it.

After hovering briefly in the nearby void, they each landed in front of the women.

Within the spiritual light were a pair of palm-sized spiritual wings, emerald green and adorned with leaf vein patterns, shimmering with a precious light and radiating an astonishing spiritual pressure.

Without exception, all the women's eyes lit up with excitement, staring intently at the pair of exquisite and powerful spirit wings in front of them.

Upon seeing this, Yue Li explained with genuine joy:
"These are the Wind-Riding Spirit Wings, crafted primarily from the ancient spiritual plant Wind-Riding Leaves, containing powerful wind-attribute laws. Once you can unleash the full power of this treasure, even a Mahayana cultivator's speed will not be able to catch up with you. Even if you can only unleash a portion of its power now, it is enough for you to remain invincible among your peers."

"Sister Yue Li".

Upon sensing the power of the spirit wings, the women were both surprised and delighted, their emotions so complex that they were speechless.

"If you really want to thank me, it's because you've treated me like an outsider." Yue Li smiled slightly and said softly after looking around.

"Uh-huh."

The women nodded in agreement, tears welling in their eyes—tears of emotion.

Their sister Yue Li not only forgave their petty mistake, but also specially crafted such a precious treasure for them!

"In the future, if you want any kind of treasure, you can tell me, and I can tailor-make it for you. Don't think it's too much trouble for me; crafting weapons is a piece of cake for me," Yue Li added.

What could the women say? They could only nod and agree.

Nie Zhaonan, who was in seclusion, was unaware that his obedient Daoist companions had been almost completely 'bought off' by Yue Li in just a few words.

"Sister Yue Li has prepared such precious gifts for us, so the one for my husband must be just as valuable, right?" Xin Ruyin asked curiously after putting away her pair of spirit wings.

"The treasures that the mistress crafted for the master are naturally the best," Xiao Jiu said excitedly, as if she knew something.

Seeing the curious looks from her sisters, Yue Li didn't keep them in suspense, but said something that surprised everyone.

"Actually, it wasn't made specifically for him, but for all of us." Yue Li flipped her hand, and after a flash of blue light, a dazzling spiritual light appeared in her palm.

Fortunately, everyone present had at least the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage, so they could see that inside was a miniature boat a few inches long, yet it was incredibly exquisite.

This ship not only shimmered with emerald light on its surface, but also had a pair of wings almost the same size as the hull. The cabins had an astonishing nine stories, and the hull was covered with a dense array of magic formations that were impossible to see with the naked eye. Each one emitted a golden and silver light, making it look extremely mysterious.

This miniature boat, however, exuded an incomparably powerful aura, many times stronger than the Wind-Riding Wings; the difference between the two was simply worlds apart!
