Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 146 Talisman
"Fellow Daoist Nie, are you really sure that you can leave this place?" the old man surnamed Yun asked in some confusion.

"It's hard to say. I'm just giving it a try." Nie Zhaonan shook his head slightly, his words full of uncertainty, without revealing a word.

Hearing this, the old man surnamed Yun sighed and continued, "Alas, although I don't know whether Fellow Daoist Nie is really capable of leaving this place, it is still a hope. So I have a favor to ask of you. If Fellow Daoist can really escape from this place, I hope that Fellow Daoist can deliver this box to our Tianfu Sect."

As he spoke, he took out a rough bone box from his arms and handed it to Nie Zhaonan with both hands.

"I can only do my best." Nie Zhaonan hesitated for a moment and reached out to take the bone box.

When the old man surnamed Yun heard what Nie Zhaonan said, he showed a look of gratitude on his face and said, "I feel relieved with your words. This box contains the 'Spirit-Falling Talisman', one of the three great spiritual talismans of my Tianfu Sect. At the same time, as a thank you, you can also learn how to refine this talisman."

"It's embarrassing to say that I, Yun, am the 57th generation leader of Tianfu Sect, but I caused the 'Spirit-Calling Talisman' to be lost in the Tianfu Sect." The old man surnamed Yun said with a guilty look on his face.

The leader of the Tianfu Sect entrusted the method of refining the "Spirit-Calling Talisman" to Nie Zhaonan just to give himself peace of mind.

Afterwards, Nie Zhaonan took the opportunity to ask the old man surnamed Yun about the geographical conditions of the place, the locations of other villages, and the distribution of Yin beasts. All the information about this place was gathered in Nie Zhaonan's mind bit by bit.

After saying this and chatting with Nie Zhaonan for a few more words, the old man surnamed Yun tactfully said goodbye and left.

In the middle of the night, Nie Zhaonan left the house and walked outside with extreme agility, trying his best to avoid the eyes and ears of others to prevent his whereabouts from being discovered.

In a blink of an eye, he stopped in front of a larger stone house.

After taking a quick look around, he pushed open the door and walked in without hesitation.

There is a small pool made of stones in the house, which is filled with some liquid. These liquids are not only much heavier than water, but also gray in color, and emit a faint yin energy. They are the specialty of this place - Yinchen Water.

This Yinchen Water is the key to easily taking out the Ten Thousand Year Black Jade. No matter whether it can be used in the future or not, it is better to be prepared. Nie Zhaonan will naturally not let it go.

Nie Zhaonan took out a dozen large empty bottles from his sleeves, filled them up and put them away before leaving the room.

After passing several houses, we came to a corner of the village, a stone house that looked very dilapidated.

Looking at the extremely old dark stone house in front of him, Nie Zhaonan pushed hard on the stone door. With a heavy "creak" sound, the stone door was pushed open.

Nie Zhaonan dodged and stepped into the house in a few steps. A rotten and damp smell hit him in the face. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.

Yes, this house is specially used to store some relics of deceased monks, some classics and the like. These things are naturally precious in the outside world, but they are of no use to the humans here.

The furnishings of this house are very simple. Apart from rows of stone tablets of similar sizes surrounding it, there is only a rough stone table in the middle of the room.

There was nothing else on the stone table except a few dull magical instruments. Naturally, Nie Zhaonan would not be interested in these instruments.

Then he walked towards the stone tablets over two meters high around him and read the contents engraved on them one by one.

Most of these stone tablets record the life experiences of fallen monks. Others contain the experiences and lessons learned from the practice of several high-level monks, as well as some mantras of martial arts. However, these were of little use to Nie Zhaonan. He just glanced at them and turned his gaze to other stone tablets.

It was not until he saw the last piece that Nie Zhaonan became slightly interested.

The stone tablet in front of him was completely different from the previous ones. It was densely engraved with unknown tiny characters the size of rice grains. The characters were much smaller than those in the previous ones.

Nie Zhaonan took a quick glance and found that the text above was of two completely different styles. One was the more common ordinary ancient Chinese, while the other was the demon language recorded on the animal skin technique of the nameless breath-concealing technique.

Nie Zhaonan had wanted to learn the demon language for a long time, but he had never had a good opportunity. Now he stepped forward and observed it carefully.

This stone tablet is a scripture specifically for teaching the demon language. It is extremely detailed, with every word explained. It was obviously engraved by a cultivator who is familiar with the demon language.

Nie Zhaonan was an immortal cultivator, and although he had lost all his magical powers, it did not affect his photographic memory at all. He only read the scripture once and then memorized it word for word, remembering it firmly in his mind.

After a night's rest, early the next morning, Nie Zhaonan left the village without notifying anyone, amid the surprised gazes of several guards.

There is still more than a month left before the crack on Storm Mountain opens, but Nie Zhaonan will not wait in vain. The Yinming Beast Crystals in the Yin Beasts here are important things that provide energy for the puppets. Perhaps they will also be of great help to Yuan Yao who is practicing ghost techniques. Nie Zhaonan will naturally collect more.

Standing on the edge of the pile of rocks and looking at the yellow desert in front of him, Nie Zhaonan roughly identified the direction and headed towards a gathering place of evil beasts.

In the blink of an eye, Nie Zhaonan's figure disappeared in the vast yellow sand and was nowhere to be seen.

A few days later, on a strange land that was as red as blood, Nie Zhaonan was fighting with five monsters with green bodies and short thick necks.

This is a Yin beast called 'Green Toad Beast'. It is not big in size, and its body is covered with toad-like bumps. It looks ugly, as if it is a magnified giant toad.

It was called a fight, but Nie Zhaonan ended the battle in just a short moment.

These green toad beasts have almost no other means of attack except for spitting out a few breaths of Yin Qi. But in contrast, these green toad beasts have amazing jumping ability and are very fast.

However, these methods were completely useless in front of Nie Zhaonan. The fifth level of the Ming Wang Jue was for Jindan stage cultivators, and was even stronger than Jindan cultivators who specialized in mana. How could these green toad beasts stop him?

Nie Zhaonan flashed and swung the spear twice, passing by these green toad beasts at an alarming speed.

The green toad beast, which had just moved, spit out two balls of black yin energy. Before they could touch Nie Zhaonan, it fell to the ground, deader than dead, and it couldn't even make a move to escape.

Nie Zhaonan suddenly shook his sleeves, and a green light shot out and landed in front of the corpse of the Green Toad Beast, which was the Crying Soul Beast.

When the Soul-Crying Beast saw the corpses of these Yin Beasts, it immediately sprayed a yellow mist from its nose, covering the corpses in an instant.

After the yellow mist shone brightly, it flew back, and the black air in it was sucked into the big nose of the Weeping Soul Beast, and the bodies of the Green Toad Beasts shrank. The Weeping Soul Beast chewed it with relish for a few times, and patted its slightly bulging belly, with a satisfied expression on its face, as if it had eaten something extremely delicious.

Nie Zhaonan looked at the Soul-Crying Beast, whose aura was much stronger than when it first came here, and nodded slightly. This place was indeed an excellent place to cultivate this beast.

At this time, Nie Zhaonan had already walked to the heads of the green toad beasts. He swung the spear in his hand a few times, and the heads of the green toad beasts were split in half like watermelons, and then a green crystal stone the size of a little finger fell out.

It was the Yinming Beast Crystal, but because the levels of these Green Toad Beasts were too low, not only could only a very small number of them produce this thing, but the size of the crystals was also pitifully small.

It is still necessary to go to places where powerful Yin beasts gather in order to collect Yin Ming Beast Crystals faster and speed up the growth of the Crying Soul Beast.

Nie Zhaonan pondered silently in his heart.

A giant-clawed beast, about five or six feet tall, was walking leisurely in a depression, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

With its huge, indestructible claws and a mouth full of sharp fangs, it is the overlord of the nearby area. Naturally, it does not worry about any other high-level Yin beasts suddenly attacking it.

Suddenly, the not-so-sensitive little ears on its head moved, as if it heard some slight movement. It turned its head and raised it slightly, staring to one side with a fierce look in its eyes. On a small mound more than ten feet away from it, a figure in a black robe was standing on it and throwing a spear at it. There was a little monkey standing on the shoulder of the figure.

A bit of cold light arrived first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon!

The flying spear was so fast that it was in front of the giant claw beast in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the giant claw beast did not pounce on it in anger. Instead, it grunted a few times and raised its two giant claws without hesitation to block in front of it. There was fear on its face, and it wanted to escape.

As soon as his body moved a little, with a "swish" sound, the spear penetrated the defense of his huge claws and pierced through his chest.

Sharp claws were flying everywhere, and black blood was gushing out from its chest. With a dull 'bang', the giant claw beast fell heavily to the ground. From the place where the spear pierced its chest, one could see its shattered heart.

Nie Zhaonan flashed a few times and grabbed the spear that was stuck in the ground in his hand. The Soul-Crying Beast also jumped down and faced the corpse of the Giant Claw Beast. A yellow mist spurted out of its big nose and sucked in wisps of black air into its nose.

Nie Zhaonan slashed his head with the spear, and a green crystal the size of a spade fell out.

He bent down and put it away, then Nie Zhaonan walked towards the west with the Soul-Crying Beast.

In the next month, Nie Zhaonan kept hunting powerful Yin beasts. When facing several Yin beasts, Nie Zhaonan could easily solve them alone.

However, when they encounter dozens of Yin beasts gathered together, in order to quickly resolve the battle, Nie Zhaonan will summon the Soul-Crying Beast to assist him.

During this period, not only did Nie Zhaonan harvest a lot of Yin Ming Beast Crystals, but the Weeping Soul Beast also absorbed a large amount of Yin Beast essence, and its fur turned into silver-white, which was very eye-catching. At the same time, it also had the ability to transform into a giant ape, and its strength greatly increased.

This made Nie Zhaonan very satisfied, and he also knew that it was time to go to Storm Mountain.

Storm Mountain is a towering mountain located in the northeast corner of the Yin and Yang Land. From a distance, only the halfway point of the mountain can be seen, and the rest of the mountain is completely immersed in the dark clouds, making it impossible to see the upper half clearly.

The entire mountain is bare and made up of dark stones. Not a single plant or tree can grow on it.

Moreover, starting from a height of over a thousand feet, there is a fierce dark wind blowing on the mountain. Ordinary people can't even climb up. Even if they step into it, there is a great possibility that they will be turned into a black ice sculpture and sleep there forever.

A place with such strong Yin and Ming power is naturally the favorite place of those extremely powerful Yin beasts. There are always a few extremely ferocious Yin beasts lurking nearby.

On this day, Storm Mountain welcomed an unexpected guest.

The corpse of a giant beast that was over forty feet tall fell heavily to the ground in a silver light. The corpse quickly shrank and became lifeless in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the silver light wrapped in a large ball of black air suddenly flew back and returned to the huge nose of a ten-foot-tall silver giant ape.

This giant ape was ferocious and fierce, and every move it made revealed an indescribable and terrifying aura.

Nie Zhaonan, who was sitting on his shoulder, glanced at the corpse of the Yin beast below, clapped his hands, and floated down lightly.

Then he swung the sword in his hand, and with a flash of cold light, the head of the Yin beast under his feet was chopped off at once, but there was nothing inside.

Nie Zhaonan showed a hint of disappointment. If this Yin Beast could produce Yin Ming Beast Crystals, the size of the crystals must be very large, but it recovered to normal in a moment. He had harvested enough Yin Ming Beast Crystals, so this one was not a big deal.

The moment the giant ape jumped down from its shoulder, a silver light flashed around its body and it suddenly shrank into a small size of about a foot. It was the Soul-Crying Beast.

After the Soul-Crying Beast shrank, a flash of silver light shot into Nie Zhaonan's sleeves and it began to sleep soundly.

Nie Zhaonan smiled slightly. The Soul-Crying Beast's restraining effect on the Yin Beasts was extremely obvious. The several powerful Yin Beasts in the Storm Mountain were simply no match for the Soul-Crying Beast. The Yin Beast that had just died was the last one here.

Speaking of which, the previous spear was also damaged in the battle with those Yin beasts. If it weren't for the help of the Weeping Soul Beast, Nie Zhaonan, who had no suitable weapon, would have been able to fight the Yin beasts here in close combat. Although he could get rid of these Yin beasts with his own powerful body training, he could not avoid some trouble.

Thanks to the power of the Soul-Crying Beast, Nie Zhaonan was happy to have some free time. Whenever he encountered the Yin Beast later, he would sit on the giant ape's shoulder and watch the fight.

Next, he was going to start climbing the mountain. If he hadn't reached the top before the next crack opened, he would have to wait several more months.

Nie Zhaonan took a few deep looks at the giant mountain not far away, then strode towards the giant mountain with the Soul-Crying Beast.
