Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 524 Mysterious Heavenly Refining Technique

Seeing that Nie Zhaonan and the other man had finished their conversation, the man in silver robes slowly spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Nie wants to enter the Guanghan Realm, could it be to search for those six rare alchemy spiritual flowers and herbs? If so, I happen to have one of them, which I discovered by chance in an underwater cave left over from countless years ago."

"Oh? If you really have something I need, please take it out. I will definitely satisfy you." Upon hearing the silver-robed man's words, Nie Zhaonan's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly said with delight.

The man in the silver robe chuckled, said nothing, and flicked one of his sleeves.

A jade box slowly flew out and was caught by Nie Zhaonan. Out of curiosity, he carefully opened the lid.

A golden sphere of light floated inside, and within the sphere stood a bright red, several-inch-tall spirit flower.

"The Blazing Sun Flower!" Nie Zhaonan couldn't help but let out a low roar, his eyes filled with wild joy.

Just then, the man in silver robes spoke calmly:

"Indeed, it is the Blazing Sun Flower. If I didn't really have no use for this spiritual flower, I wouldn't be willing to trade it away."

As he listened, Nie Zhaonan released his divine sense, completely enveloping the spiritual flower in the jade box, and began to examine it carefully.

Upon seeing this, the man in the silver robe couldn't help but smile slightly.

After a long pause, Nie Zhaonan let out a long breath, finally concluding the appraisal. Having confirmed that the spirit flower in the box was indeed genuine, he slowly spoke:
"What are you planning to exchange for, fellow Daoist?"

“Although we cannot accurately measure the exact age of this Blazing Sun Flower, it is evident that it possesses medicinal properties at least two hundred thousand years old. Not to mention, this spiritual herb is extremely rare and of astonishing value. For a spiritual flower of such antiquity, you naturally need to offer something of corresponding value. I will not make things difficult for you; all you need to do is provide enough pills to help your beloved daughter cultivate to the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, and this Blazing Sun Flower will be yours.” The silver-robed man’s eyes flickered as he spoke slowly.

"Fellow Daoist is truly asking for an exorbitant price. A single bottle of Void Refinement level pills costs at least tens of millions of spirit stones, and it's perfectly normal for Body Integration level pills to be ten times more expensive. The number and value of the pills you're demanding are so great that even a hundred billion spirit stones would be an understatement. A single Blazing Sun Flower is far from worth a hundred billion." Nie Zhaonan's expression changed slightly, and he sneered inwardly.

"The Blazing Sun Flower is certainly not worth a hundred billion spirit stones, but its rarity is undeniable. If you miss this opportunity, you will likely never have another chance to obtain it. How about this, I have plenty of pills suitable for the upper stages of cultivation. You only need to provide a sufficient number of suitable early and mid-stage Integration Pills." The silver-robed man smiled and said, seemingly aware that his appetite was a bit too large.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Tu, please take a look. If you are not satisfied, there is nothing I can do." After a moment's thought, Nie Zhaonan nodded in agreement.

At the same time, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a golden storage bracelet appeared, which he then tossed to the other party.

The man in the silver robe raised his arm and stretched out his palm.

The golden storage bracelet fell down and was immediately grabbed by him.

The man in the silver robe raised an eyebrow slightly and immediately swept his divine sense towards it.

After examining the storage bracelet in his hand for a while, the man in the silver robe finally put it away and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Nie has quite a few elixirs in his possession. The value of the elixirs in the storage bracelet is almost the same as that of the Blazing Sun Flower."

At the same time, Nie Zhaonan also put away the jade box in his hand.

"Hehehe, with so many spiritual pills to help, Fellow Daoist Tu, your beloved daughter may have a chance to advance to the mid-stage of the Integration Realm within two thousand years. Such a cultivation speed is beyond my reach." The cultivator surnamed Fei couldn't help but say with admiration.

"This is all I can do for her. From now on, her cultivation will have to be on her own." The man in silver robes gently stroked the little girl's head in his arms, his face full of affection.

After exchanging a few more casual words with the two Mahayana cultivators, Nie Zhaonan took his leave.

Three months later, in a cave in the Magic Crystal Mountains, Nie Zhaonan and Yue Li slowly walked out of a passage filled with demonic energy and appeared at the entrance of a hall, gazing intently inside.

The hall was circular and incredibly vast, with a diameter of over a hundred feet.

In the center of the hall, there was a golden magic circle over thirty feet long, surrounded by twelve black stone pillars several feet high, carved with ferocious demonic patterns with blue faces and fangs.

Streams of dark demonic energy spewed from these patterns, all drifting towards the center of the magic circle. At the center of this magic circle, there was another blood-red bed, on which lay a black giant ape several meters long.

This ape had its fangs fully exposed, its limbs were all the same length, and it had three strange, yellow horns sticking up to the sky.

There was a purple wound on his chest, about the size of an average person's head, through which several ribs and a dark heart could be clearly seen beating slightly.

Strangely, the giant ape kept its eyes closed, its body shimmering with dark light, slowly absorbing the demonic energy flying in from all around.

The crimson bed beneath him was filled with swirling blood mist that kept flowing into the giant ape's body.

Yue Li stood at the doorway, her gaze shifting, and quietly asked via telepathy:

"Is the Xuan Tian Refining Technique you mentioned in the hands of this demonic ape?"

“Right beneath it.” Nie Zhaonan glanced at the blood-red bed where the demonic ape lay, as if indicating something.

Yue Li stared intently in that direction, a sudden flash of inspiration appearing in her eyes, as if she had discovered something.

"You weren't lying to me after all. That blood-red jade bed really is different. I really don't know how you knew. But how come this demonic ape is so badly injured?" Yue Li asked with a hint of doubt.

"What else could it be? Demons are fond of fighting and even more so of seizing treasures. This Demon Gold Mountain Range is full of Demons at the Integration level, so it's perfectly normal for this demon ape to be injured. Although this demon ape has the bloodline of the True Spirit Mountain Giant Ape, its vision is not very good. Even though it saw the special features of the Crimson Jade Bed, it only used it as an auxiliary item. It's a real waste of a treasure! Only in Yue'er's hands can this item shine." Nie Zhaonan explained casually, not forgetting to mention Yue Li at the end.

"It is indeed a pity that this treasure has fallen into its hands."

Yue Li nodded slightly and couldn't wait to get started. With a flick of her jade sleeve, ice-blue snowflakes silently appeared around the giant ape, densely gathering towards the demonic ape in the center.

The demonic ape, however, kept its eyes tightly closed, completely unaware of everything.

But that enormous magic array wasn't set up there for no reason.

A loud hum resounded in the hall, and a layer of blood-red light suddenly appeared above the magic array, completely obscuring the demonic ape below.

However, the snowflakes simply ignored the light barrier and passed right through it, appearing mysteriously around the demonic ape in a flash.

In a flash, the snowflakes were about to land directly on the demon ape's body.

Just when it seemed they were about to strike successfully, a sudden change occurred.

The seemingly empty body of the demonic ape was suddenly covered by a layer of impenetrable purple armor. "Roar!" The armor protected its master on its own, and the demonic ape was naturally awakened from its slumber, followed by a roar of extreme shock and anger.

But that's it.

The next moment, icy blue snowflakes fell softly onto the purple armor, instantly forming a thin layer of ice crystals on its surface.

The ice crystals looked incredibly fragile to the naked eye, as if they would shatter at the slightest movement. But the demonic ape only managed to sit up halfway before it could no longer move.

Now, this demonic ape, including the three black horns on its head, is completely covered by a layer of ice crystals, with not a single part exposed.

As the extreme cold gradually seeped into its body, the demonic ape's eyes, which were initially filled with anger as it looked at Nie Zhaonan and the other person, quickly turned into fear, soon turning ashen, and finally fell silent.

This fusion-level demonic ape, possessing the true spirit bloodline of the mountain giant ape, only managed to let out a roar before falling to Yue Li's hands without any power to resist.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Although I had some idea of ​​what was going on, what I saw was still quite astonishing," Nie Zhaonan exclaimed in amazement.

He certainly couldn't do what Yue Li did so effortlessly, annihilating the enemy with a flick of her sleeve!

"When your understanding of the laws reaches my level in the future, you will be able to do the same easily. Besides, your strength is no less than mine, so there's no need to envy anything." Yue Li's lips parted slightly, her voice still melodious and pleasant.

Nie Zhaonan shook his head. His understanding of the laws was so-so that he had grasped nine out of ten, but not the last one. There was no hope of him comprehending it on his own. He could only wait and see if he could further master the power of the laws as his Taiyi Divine Thunder Technique improved.

With that thought in mind, he casually put the demonic ape away.

The combined-level demonic ape, whether it is its demonic core or its sharp horns, are extremely rare and precious materials for refining weapons, so they are naturally not to be overlooked, not to mention that it also contains the spiritual blood of the mountain giant ape.

Moreover, if Nie Zhaonan remembered correctly, this demonic ape also possessed a fragment of a Xuan Tian treasure, which was quite a good gain.

However, Nie Zhaonan did not rush to dispose of the demonic ape's corpse; he simply put it away.

At the same time, Yue Li raised her jade disc and cast a spell towards the blood-red jade bed.

A mysterious scene unfolded!

Suddenly, the blood bed emitted a bright crimson light, and fist-sized silver ancient characters emerged from it. After swirling slightly, they formed a mysterious and extraordinary scripture in front of the two of them.

It's Yin Kewen!
"Mysterious Heaven Refining Technique!" Yue Li could no longer look away, her gaze fixed on the scripture.

This document clearly records the art of weapon crafting from the Realm of True Immortals, as well as the methods for crafting a series of treasures and the materials required.

Treasures crafted using this secret technique can be compared to Xuan Tian treasures, which are Xuan Tian treasures crafted through later refinement, such as the Cloud Palace Sacred Ship.

"The types of treasures recorded here are truly comprehensive, including offensive treasures, defensive treasures, and even auxiliary treasures. This trip has certainly been worthwhile."

Yue Li spoke with a hint of joy, then slapped her hand onto the blood-soaked bed with her fingers spread wide.

A phantom hand appeared in the air and then fell down.

The moment the blood-soaked bed came into contact with the large hand, it shattered with a 'bang,' and at the same time, a thick smell of blood spread out, making people want to vomit.

Yue Li raised her eyebrows slightly, but closed her five fingers without any sign of anything unusual.

A palm-sized, milky-white jade tablet slowly flew out from the blood energy, with faint silver runes rolling on it.

"It truly is the Golden Palace Jade Book." Yue Li didn't show much surprise and immediately flicked her jade sleeve.

A white ray of light swept out.

Just as the rosy light was about to engulf the jade pendant, it trembled slightly and suddenly seemed to be sentient, soaring away to one side into the air.

Yue Li was naturally prepared, and she made a lightning-fast grab in the air with one hand.

Suddenly, an invisible force descended, enveloping the area of ​​the Golden Jade Book within a radius of more than ten feet.

With a "whoosh," the jade pendant was forcibly sucked in and fell into her hand.

"So, do you like this gift?" Nie Zhaonan slowly hugged Yue Li from behind, feeling the amazing curves of her waist and hips.

“Hmm,” Yue Liyu’s cheeks flushed slightly, “I only glanced at the scripture just now and discovered a rare treasure. Once this treasure is crafted, it can assist our cultivation and increase our cultivation speed considerably. However, the method of crafting this treasure is indeed quite difficult. I still need to comprehend a bit more before I am confident in crafting it.”

"Yes, you can make all the decisions."

As Nie Zhaonan spoke, his warm breath brushed against Yue Li's fair cheeks, making her feel a little hot.

For some reason, even though Nie Zhaonan looked like a lecherous glutton, she felt no disgust at all; instead, she felt more delight.

"Don't tell me there are other people in this cave. Have you forgotten the True Spirit Cave we discovered when we came here?" Yue Li felt the man behind her pressing down on her, and a strange sensation coming from her chest—two large, mischievous hands.
"Call me husband and I'll spare you." Nie Zhaonan only wanted to take advantage of her slightly and didn't really intend to punish her on the spot, so he said it casually.

Yue Li's delicate body tensed, knowing that this was Nie Zhaonan's wicked sense of humor. After a brief silence, her melodious voice rang out.

"Husband~"

Upon hearing this sound, Nie Zhaonan felt extremely relieved, and at the same time, an amazing tactile sensation came from his fingertips.

Just then, the demonic energy in the cave suddenly began to surge violently out of control. At the same time, a loud roar arose from the demonic energy, a strong wind arose, and countless dark wind blades suddenly appeared, shooting out in all directions throughout the cave in a flash.

Nie Zhaonan frowned slightly. He waved his hand, which had been playing with the buds, and a layer of silver light appeared, enveloping the two of them.

Although those wind blades seemed extremely violent, they all dissipated and disappeared after striking the rosy light.

"Stop fooling around, the True Spirit Cave has already been opened, now is not the time." Yue Li broke free from Nie Zhaonan's embrace.
