Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 143 Return to Biling Island

With a clear "pop" sound, Ling Yuling's body twitched a few times.

"You must call yourself 'concubine' in front of your husband."

"I know I was wrong~"

Ling Yuling just felt that her lecherous husband was too good at playing. With just a few gestures, he played with her in the palm of his hand.

"Float in the air." Nie Zhaonan ordered lightly.

"Hmm~" Ling Yuling agreed softly, and her body floated up.

If you make a mistake, you must stand at attention!

Three months later, in a sea area tens of thousands of miles away from Yinsha Island, an astonishingly fast white light was rushing towards the distance.

Nie Zhaonan, who was in the escaping light, was wearing a dark black robe and had an upright posture. In his hand, he was holding the red jade slip that Ling Yuling had given him that day. He penetrated into it with a ray of spiritual consciousness and flipped through the contents.

It not only records the general information of the monster's level, but also comes with a map of the specific location of each monster's cave.

"The Black Rock Turtle is an eighth-level monster with amazing defense. It is located in the waters of Qingling Island."

"Blood Roar Beast, an eighth-level demon beast, can temporarily go berserk, causing its strength to surge. It is located in the waters of Biyun Island."

"The Jiao-headed Python is a ninth-level demon beast that possesses some of the magical powers of a Jiaolong. It is located in the waters of Qiyuan Island."

"The Green Water Toad is an eighth-level demon beast that is good at water-related magical powers. It is located in the waters of Qiyuan Island."

Except for the first two monsters, the caves of the remaining monsters are all located in the waters of Qiyuen Island, which does not surprise Nie Zhaonan.

Because there is a 'deep sea Qiyuan' in the waters of Qiyuan Island, even Qiyuan Island got its name from this.

'Deep Sea Abyss' can be said to be the most important gathering place for all alien sea monsters. There are countless high-level monsters, and it is common for many transformed monsters to build nests nearby.

"Feng Xi's cave is also located in the waters of Qiyuan Island. The Thunder Peng Wings in his hand are very consistent with the properties of my martial arts. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to take it as well."

Nie Zhaonan put away the jade slip and pondered silently.

As for Feng Xi's cultivation level as a ninth-level demon beast, it would not cause any trouble to Nie Zhaonan as long as he was not allowed to have a chance to escape.

Feng Xi is a ninth-level flying monster beast that is good at flying - the Wind-Splitting Beast. When he runs away at full speed, his speed is astonishingly fast.

After a moment, a huge island came into view in the distance.

Nie Zhaonan was also looking forward to seeing how many spirit stones could be mined from the entire Biling Island spirit stone mine. He activated his magic power and his escape speed increased immediately.

In just two or three breaths, the white light faded, and Nie Zhaonan's figure appeared on the giant island, right at the place where he had set up the inverted five elements formation before.

Nie Zhaonan pinched his fingers and a stream of white light shot towards the empty air in front of him.

After flying for a short distance, in an ordinary space, a white light flashed and then disappeared.

The next moment, an invisible wave suddenly emerged where the light disappeared, a five-colored shield appeared, and a gap opened.

Nie Zhaonan moved and entered the formation through the gap without any hesitation. After Nie Zhaonan entered the formation, the inverted five elements formation returned to its original state and gradually became transparent. Even Nie Zhaonan's figure disappeared.

Nie Zhaonan, who had entered the formation, kept moving his hands. He pinched a spell with one hand, and suddenly a yellow hazy light appeared around his body. It was the earth escape technique. With his current level of cultivation, performing the "earth escape technique" was a very easy thing.

With a whoosh sound, Nie Zhaonan's figure appeared in the wide tunnel.

He walked deeper into the tunnel. After a while, after turning a corner and walking for some distance, Nie Zhaonan arrived at the familiar stalactite cave.

Nie Zhaonan walked towards the stone wall on one side of the cave, on which there was a mine cave dug by gold-eating bugs.

Entering the mine, there is a small hill of spirit stones piled up on the ground at a short distance, stacked according to different grades of low, medium and high levels.

As he walked, Nie Zhaonan waved his sleeves, and piles of spirit stones disappeared without a trace and were collected by Nie Zhaonan into the Zixiao Cave.

The number of spirit stones to be harvested this time is huge, and the storage space required is also astonishing. It would probably be impossible to store them all without thousands of storage bags. So Nie Zhaonan did not put them into storage bags, but directly stored them on an open space in Zixiao Cave Heaven.

After walking for a long distance and storing all the spiritual stones he had collected into the Zixiao Cave, five forks in the road appeared in front of Nie Zhaonan, leading to various directions.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zhaonan was not surprised. It would be really strange if there was only one mine.

Nie Zhaonan chose a mine that extended towards the center and continued to move forward.

They collected the spirit stones on the ground one by one along the way. As expected, the closer they got to the center, not only did the surrounding spiritual energy become denser, but more spirit stones were mined, and the number of high-level spirit stones also increased significantly.

After passing through several forks in the road and going deep into the center for several hours, an astonishing scene appeared before Nie Zhaonan's eyes.

I saw thick emerald green spiritual veins appearing on the walls of the mine, just like the tendons and veins in a human body, growing on the walls of the cave.

Some of these spiritual veins are as small as a thumb, while others are as big as a bucket. However, what these spiritual veins have in common is that the deeper you go, the thicker they become.

Nie Zhaonan could also see with his own eyes that wisps of spiritual energy were constantly emanating from the spiritual veins.

Without stopping, he continued walking towards the center of the depths. Nie Zhaonan could sense that he was not far from the gold-eating bug.

After a while, Nie Zhaonan stood in front of a cave, looking at the cave inside with an extremely shocked expression. Because the cave in front of him was not only extremely wide, but Nie Zhaonan explored it with his spiritual sense and found that it was six or seven miles in size and hundreds of feet high. It was completely an underground world.

Moreover, this underground world was also very different from other ordinary caves. It was not dark at all, but unusually bright, with a dazzling emerald green light. If you traced the source of the emerald green light, you could easily find the numerous spiritual veins.

Both the walls and the top of the cave are covered tightly with emerald green spiritual veins, stacked layer upon layer, like the roots of a tree, appearing tangled and intertwined.

The sizes of these spirit veins are not comparable to the derived spirit veins in the mine. The smallest one is half a meter thick, and the largest one is located in the center of the entire cave. It is several feet in size, like a towering tree, hanging upside down on the top of the cave.

Those tens of thousands of gold-eating insects were all soaking in the giant Spirit Eye Spring under the largest spiritual vein, swallowing the water in the Spirit Eye Spring constantly in their mouths.

This spiritual eye spring is three hundred meters in radius and more than ten feet deep. Perhaps it is the nurturing of the spiritual veins of the Biling Island over countless years that has formed such a huge spiritual eye.

Nie Zhaonan moved and fled towards the center of the Spirit Eye Spring.

As Nie Zhaonan inhaled and exhaled the spiritual energy of this place, he felt an extremely comfortable feeling throughout his body. This was the first time he enjoyed such rich spiritual energy. Even the concentration of spiritual energy on the holy mountain of Tianxing City was far inferior. No wonder this spiritual vein could produce top-grade spiritual stones.

Nie Zhaonan stood beside the Spirit Eye Spring and rolled up his sleeves towards the fifteen emerald green thumb-sized spirit stones beside him. In the blink of an eye, the fifteen small spirit stones appeared in Nie Zhaonan's hands.

These spirit stones are of the best quality. All the top quality spirit stones produced in the entire Biling Island are here, and there are only fifteen of them in total.

Nie Zhaonan held these spirit stones in his hands and saw that the spiritual light on the surface of the spirit stones was flowing unsteadily. The green light flickered and was unexpectedly like a living thing. On the surface of the spirit stones, there seemed to be tiny white things constantly emerging, but because they were too small, even Nie Zhaonan could not see them clearly for a while.

Nie Zhaonan was surprised, his pupils shrank, and suddenly his magic power rushed into his eyes. Suddenly, white light flashed in his eyes, and the things in the green light became clear.

They turned out to be milky white spots that looked like snowflakes or runes.

Now Nie Zhaonan understood that these spots of light were actually because the spiritual energy contained in this top-grade spirit stone was too huge, and it had to be forced to overflow to the outside world.

Nie Zhaonan turned over his other hand, and a green jade box appeared in his hand.

He placed fourteen top-grade spirit stones into the jade box, then took out several talismans of different colors and pasted them on the surface of the jade box to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out. He then put the green jade box into the Zixiao Cave.

Nie Zhaonan held the uncollected top-grade spirit stone in one hand and sat down cross-legged on the spot, ready to absorb the spiritual energy in the top-grade spirit stone to try out the effect of his cultivation.

Although he was practicing a thunder-attributed technique and held a wood-attributed spirit stone in his hand, the properties of the two were not compatible, but the spiritual energy contained in them was real. Even if he needed to activate the Taiyi Divine Thunder Art to convert the wood-attributed spiritual energy into thunder-attributed, there would be some loss, but the effect of his practice would probably not be too bad.

A white light flashed on the five fingers, and five thin streams of spiritual energy slowly flowed out, cool, pure and extremely thick, like five little snakes, and drilled into Nie Zhaonan's fingers!
Suddenly, a spiritual power full of vitality entered Nie Zhaonan's meridians and radiated to all parts of the body, covering his entire body in the blink of an eye.

Nie Zhaonan felt himself enveloped by a warm and cool feeling in an instant, and then he felt warm again. His whole body felt extremely comfortable, and he actually felt as if he was floating in the air, which was very strange.

However, Nie Zhaonan only felt it for a moment, then immediately calmed his mind, closed his eyes slightly, and then without hesitation, practiced the seventh level of Taiyi Divine Thunder Technique, silently refining the spiritual energy that was continuously supplied to his body.

As he continued to refine the spiritual power of the top-grade spirit stone in his hand, a smile unconsciously appeared on Nie Zhaonan's face. He could clearly feel the improvement of his own magic power.

Five days passed before Nie Zhaonan opened his eyes again.

At this time, the top-grade spirit stone in his hand had turned transparent, and there was no longer any fluctuation of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in it had already been absorbed and refined by Nie Zhaonan.

Just refining this top-grade spirit stone saved him eight years of hard training, and he made a big step forward in his cultivation at the early stage of the Nascent Soul. You know, it only took five days, which was hundreds of times faster than taking elixirs and practicing in seclusion!
If all the top-grade spirit stones on his body were absorbed and refined, wouldn't he quickly soar to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!

Nie Zhaonan couldn't help but think greedily.

However, this thought of wasting resources only flashed through his mind. He was just thinking about it and he was not so short-sighted.

Now, he only needs to hunt some transformed monsters and obtain monster cores to refine them into pills suitable for his current practice. This will easily push his cultivation to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. After spending some time, he will also be confident that he can advance to the middle Nascent Soul stage.

As for the elixir needed for the cultivation in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he happened to know of an elixir called 'Jiangyun Pill', which was in the Lingmiao Garden in the Demon Valley. As long as he made some plans, he would have a good chance of obtaining it.

The only thing missing was the elixir that could assist in the cultivation of the late Nascent Soul stage. Nie Zhaonan planned to save the remaining top-grade spirit stones for use in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, these top-grade spirit stones can provide such a large amount of pure spiritual energy at one time, so naturally two or three should be kept to assist in breaking through subsequent bottlenecks.

After thinking it over, Nie Zhaonan stood up and looked at the gold-eating bugs in the spiritual spring.

During the 70 to 80 years of mining, the gold-eating bugs have not grown at all. Not only is the spiritual energy here extremely rich, but there are also huge amounts of spiritual springs for the gold-eating bugs to devour.

These tens of thousands of gold-eating insects now have pinhole-sized golden spots on their bodies, and have evolved into gold and silver colors.

However, they were much inferior to the thousands of gold-eating bugs that Nie Zhaonan had been raising in the spirit beast pen, which were half gold and half silver.

As Nie Zhaonan moved his mind, the gold-eating bugs soaking in the spiritual spring flew up one after another and gathered into a huge ball in front of Nie Zhaonan. It was so densely packed and flashing with gold and silver light that the sight was quite astonishing.

He stretched out his hand and waved his sleeves at the gold-eating bugs in front of him. The ball formed by tens of thousands of gold-eating bugs disappeared silently in the air and was collected by Nie Zhaonan into the spirit beast pen.

Immediately afterwards, Nie Zhaonan continued to move, taking out various rare auxiliary materials from his storage bag and arranging them around the Spirit Eye Spring.

With such a large spiritual spring, Nie Zhaonan could not guarantee that he could refine it intact without relying on external assistance.

After a while, Nie Zhaonan completed the preparations for refining the spiritual spring.

Looking at the Spirit Eye Spring in front of him, a hint of memory flashed in Nie Zhaonan's eyes. In the past, he had obtained two Spirit Eye Springs in a row, but compared with the giant Spirit Eye Spring in front of him, it was really a dwarf compared to the giant one.

And now he is no longer the low-level Qi Refining or Foundation Building cultivator, but has become a Nascent Soul cultivator who can dominate the world. All these changes seemed to have happened just yesterday, right before his eyes, making him feel all kinds of emotions.

Along the way, he killed countless monks of the same level, killed thousands of monsters, practiced in seclusion for decades, and broke through several realms in a row during the past hundred years. It seemed that there was only practice in his life. Fortunately, he had the company of fellow Taoists, so he didn't seem so lonely.
