Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 201 Regret
The more Han Li thought about it, the more frightened he became!

"Junior Brother Han, this secret realm was not created by you, was it?" Nie Zhaonan cast a curious look at Han Li and suddenly asked.

Han Li smiled bitterly. This Nie Zhaonan really knew everything about him! He actually guessed it right away.

"Uncle Nie, I am still just a Jindan cultivator and do not deserve to be called that. This secret realm was indeed discovered by my good luck." Han Li said with his expression changing from red to white several times, not daring to show any negligence.

"Oh? It seems that my guess was right, senior brother." Nie Zhaonan said with sudden realization.

Then he calmly used his spiritual sense to check Han Li's cultivation level. Not only was his magic power only a few years away from perfection, but his spiritual sense was also no weaker than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. It was obvious that he had already completed the first four levels of the Dayan Jue.

“I think Junior Brother Han will be able to condense his Nascent Soul in another ten or twenty years and become one of our generation. It’s okay for me to call you Junior Brother in advance.” Nie Zhaonan took a sip of the spiritual tea and said with a slight smile.

Han Li was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down. It was reasonable for Nie Zhaonan to make such an accurate judgment given his strength.

Suddenly Han Li seemed to have thought of something, and asked with some anticipation: "I wonder if you have any natural treasures that can help with the formation of a newborn baby. I am willing to exchange the treasures I have obtained over the years for them."

The tone was unusually cordial, as if they were really fellow disciples who had known each other for many years.

In his opinion, since Nie Zhaonan is now wealthy and has several Taoist companions at the peak of the Jindan stage, he should have some spiritual objects for forming an infant.

"I do have some extra Infant-forming Spirit Pills, but I don't know what treasure my junior brother can come up with to impress me. I don't look down on ordinary treasures." Nie Zhaonan gently shook the teacup in his hand and said in a flat tone.

"May I ask what kind of elixir you have in your hand?" Han Li asked cautiously.

After knowing the efficacy and role of the elixir in condensing the Nascent Soul, he could take out treasures of corresponding value for exchange.

"Nine-bend Lingshen Pill." Nie Zhaonan said happily.

Just as he was about to continue explaining, an old voice came from the bamboo tube behind Han Li.

"It turns out that this Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng Pill is a sacred medicine for forming a Nascent Soul. Even though I traveled to many immortal cultivation worlds such as Tiannan, Mulan, and Dajin, I had never seen the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng Pill with my own eyes. I only read about it in a few books. This is a sacred medicine that can increase the chances of successfully forming a Nascent Soul by 30 to 40 percent!"

There was a look of extreme surprise in his words.

Han Li, who heard all this, immediately showed joy on his face.

The spiritual object for forming a Nascent Soul that he had found with great effort could only increase the chances of successfully condensing a Nascent Soul by 10%, which was far inferior to the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng Pill.

But the value of this elixir is naturally extremely high.

"Who are you, fellow Taoist?" Nie Zhaonan looked at the bamboo tube and asked pretending to be ignorant.

He certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to call out the name of Lord Dayan.

"You have practiced the Dayan Jue that I founded, but you don't even know my name?" Lord Dayan said in a very proud tone.

The Dayan Jue is his masterpiece. Looking across the entire human world, it is probably impossible to find a comparable method for cultivating spiritual consciousness.

"Lord Dayan? But wasn't he a figure who lived nearly ten thousand years ago?" Nie Zhaonan said with an uncertain look.

“My knowledge of spiritual consciousness is so profound that it is not difficult for me to create a secret technique that can last forever in the world.” Lord Dayan said with ease.

In fact, the 'Spirit Parasitism Technique' he created had a big flaw. It could only attach spiritual consciousness to a puppet, while all his cultivation would be wasted.

But for some reasons, he naturally would not tell Nie Zhaonan about this.

"Nie boy, what do you think? As long as you agree to take me as your master, I will teach you the last three levels of the Dayan Jue. The Dayan Treasure Scripture that I compiled and various high-level puppet refining methods, even the late-stage puppets, will also be yours." Dayan God listed several benefits in a row.

This made Han Li, who was standing aside, very surprised. He had been with Lord Dayan for so long but still hadn't gotten any of these things.

"Fellow Daoist, your highest level of cultivation is only the late Nascent Soul stage. Although you have made great achievements in spiritual consciousness, I am still not willing to take you as my teacher." Nie Zhaonan refused tactfully without any surprise on his face.

Upon hearing this, Lord Dayan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that even though he had offered so many benefits, Nie Zhaonan was not interested at all.

His desire to take Nie Zhaonan as his disciple was not a sudden impulse, but he had long had the idea of ​​passing on his legacy.

When he met Nie Zhaonan today, he discovered that his spiritual awareness talent was astonishing. He was the best person he had ever seen in his life. After much consideration, he decided to accept him as his disciple.

"Fellow Daoist, don't you want the subsequent skills of Dayan Jue? As a personal practitioner of Dayan Jue, you should be very clear about how powerful Dayan Jue is!" Dayan God continued to ask without giving up.

"Of course I must get the Dayan Jue." Nie Zhaonan said confidently.

Put down the teacup in your hand.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to take action? To tell you the truth, even if the gap between your spiritual awareness and mine is not too big, I know a secret technique that can protect my spirit and soul. I am not afraid of soul searching at all. Even if you capture me, it will all be in vain." The words of Lord Dayan were icy cold.

At this moment, Han Li suddenly felt very uncomfortable and looked very unhappy.

It’s not just because Dayan Divine Lord is very likely to fight with Nie Zhaonan.

It was also because he had once used the soul-searching technique on Lord Dayan, but not only did it have no effect, he almost had his consciousness invaded by the other party.

This really made Han Li's soul fly away, and he never dared to use this method on Dayan Divine Lord again.

"How could I take the initiative to attack you when I have no grudge against you, and what I hate most is fighting and killing. On the contrary, trading is what I like to do most." Nie Zhaonan ignored the anger in the words of Lord Dayan and said with a faint smile.

Lord Dayan remained silent, waiting for what was to come.

"Your spirit and soul are exhausted, so this is exactly what you need, right?" Nie Zhaonan continued without delay.

At the same time, he slapped the storage bag at his waist, and a piece of dark and uneven wood appeared in his hand.

"Soul-nourishing tree!" Lord Dayan said in a lost voice.

He never imagined that Nie Zhaonan actually possessed the Soul-Nourishing Tree, one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation, which was something he urgently needed.

"These are the last three levels of the Dayan Jue." Lord Dayan said with a hint of joy.

A white jade slip flew out of the bamboo tube along with the sound of words.

This made the silent Han Li very jealous.

After taking the jade slip, Nie Zhaonan also threw the Soul-Nourishing Wood to Han Li.

Han Li looked at the three-inch-long soul-nourishing tree in his hand, which had no roots, and felt regretful in his heart. "I am also very interested in Daoist Dayan's high-level puppet refining method." Nie Zhaonan put away the jade slip and continued.

He holds the spirits of thousands of monsters he hunted in the Chaos Star Sea. These spirits are excellent materials for refining high-level puppets, so naturally he has to make the best use of them.

Even if it is of no use in future battles, it would be good to keep it in Zixiao Cave as a servant and do odd jobs.

"As long as you can produce the three items on the jade slip, I can trade you the methods of refining several high-level puppets."

As Lord Dayan spoke, another jade slip flew out of the bamboo tube.

Nie Zhaonan took the jade slip and entered his spiritual consciousness into it. He was slightly stunned. It turned out that all the materials on it were for refining a late Nascent Soul puppet.

After thinking about it for a while, Nie Zhaonan figured it out. Perhaps Dayan Divine Lord knew that it would be very difficult for Han Li to collect these materials with his current level of cultivation, so he took this opportunity to bring it up.

"Fire tin wood, five-color wood, jade rubber."

Nie Zhaonan easily took out the three materials recorded in the jade slip.

Although Nie Zhaonan has only been practicing for more than two hundred years, in the entire human world, there are few people who can compare with him in terms of collection.

After completing the transaction with Lord Dayan, Nie Zhaonan turned his attention to Han Li.

Han Li touched his nose, then waved his hand across the table, and three jade boxes appeared on the table.

He flicked his fingers, and three green lights shot onto the jade box.

The jade box opened automatically, revealing its contents.

A purple Ganoderma lucidum, a piece of black metal, and a piece of transparent crystal.

"The three thousand year old Bu Tian Zhi can improve the cultivation of a Jin Dan cultivator by decades if eaten raw. The other two items are rare and precious materials for refining weapons." Han Li gave a brief introduction.

It was because he took a plant of Bu Tian Zhi in the late stage of Jin Dan that he achieved his current level of cultivation.

Nie Zhaonan's eyes were fixed on the Bu Tian Zhi, which was the main ingredient in a recipe for a late Nascent Soul elixir. He had been offering a bounty in the Chaos Star Sea for a long time but had not found this elixir.

I didn't expect that Han Li actually had this thing in his hand.

"Let's take that plant of Bu Tian Zhi." Nie Zhaonan said calmly.

At the same time, he threw a jade bottle in his hand to Han Li.

The other two refining materials were not only useless to Nie Zhaonan, but also far inferior in value to the Bu Tian Zhi. It was unknown whether Han Li really had no treasures of higher value, or whether he did it on purpose.

After collecting the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng Pill and the two refining materials, Han Li said gratefully:
"Thank you, Senior Brother! I will take my leave now."

The joy on his face grew. With the help of this elixir, he could start to condense his Nascent Soul after this trip to the secret realm.

"Yeah." Nie Zhaonan agreed lightly.

He didn't pay much attention to Han Li, his eyes stayed on the Bu Tian Zhi in his hand.

Han Li felt more at ease after seeing this. He turned into a green rainbow and flew downwards. His speed was several times faster than that of the person who had left slowly before.

At this time, Nie Ying, wearing a red dress, walked out of the house, sat in Nie Zhaonan's arms, and said in a delicate voice: "This Junior Brother Han is probably not a simple person. My cultivation aptitude is much better than his, and with the help of my husband's many elixirs, I have achieved my current cultivation level. However, Junior Brother Han's cultivation level is not much different from mine."

There was disbelief in his tone.

A white light flashed in Nie Zhaonan's hand, and he put away the Bu Tian Zhi. He put his arm around Nie Ying's waist and said calmly, "Junior Brother Han has always had a good fate with immortals. It's not surprising that he has achieved his current level of cultivation."

"But don't go with him when you enter the secret realm this time." Nie Zhaonan reminded cautiously.

"Well, I also heard from my brother that this Junior Brother Han seems to be plagued by bad luck. Few cultivators who travel with him can remain safe and sound." A solemn look flashed across Nie Ying's face. It was the first time she had heard of such a person.

"What's the situation in the family?" Nie Zhaonan asked with concern.

He actually had no other relatives except his fellow Taoists, so he was mainly asking about Nie Ying.

“Over the years, except for my brother and a collateral member who advanced to the Jindan stage, everyone else stopped at the foundation-building stage.” Nie Ying said with some sadness.

This was the result of Nie Zhaonan leaving some elixir for the clan. Otherwise, according to the original trajectory, Nie Ying would be the only one in the Nie family who successfully formed the elixir.

"Sister Qiaoqian, it's also the case that only her two brothers have managed to condense the golden elixir." Nie Ying added.

Nie Zhaonan didn't say much, just patted Nie Ying's back gently with his hand.

Nie Ying moved her body and shrank into Nie Zhaonan's arms.

In the temporary cave, Han Li returned to the quiet room and sat cross-legged on the cushion to meditate and practice Qi.

"Han boy, what's the point of you meditating and practicing hard every day. Look at your senior brother, he has a lovely wife and concubines by his side. That's the life we ​​practitioners should have. When I was invincible in the south of the world, I was also so comfortable and happy." Lord Dayan suddenly spoke, his words full of memories.

"In the past, I have seen many beauties, but I am extremely envious of Brother Daoist Nie's good fortune. Among them, there is a girl who is extremely beautiful." Dayan God said incessantly.

Hearing this, Han Li recalled the stunning glimpse he got when he first boarded the flying boat. That fairy in purple was definitely the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life.

"Han boy, are you also dazed? Want to find a Taoist partner?" Dayan God Lord teased when he saw Han Li looked a little dazed.

Hearing this, Han Li came back to his senses immediately. His expression returned to its calm state, and he said without any sadness or joy:

"My aptitude for cultivation is not good to begin with. If I am distracted by other things, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to achieve the great way!"

“If I had your firm determination in the Tao back then, I would have practiced hard, instead of relying on my own intelligence and talent that no one could match and no one in the world could match me, and being distracted too much. Not only did I create the Dayan Jue, a secret method that can strengthen spiritual consciousness, but I also founded the Qianzhu Sect and researched the puppetry technique that had long been lost in Tiannan, which consumed most of my life. I should have advanced to the God Transformation Stage long ago, and maybe even had a great hope of ascending to the upper realm. After creating the Dayan Jue, I should have stopped and focused on improving my cultivation.” Lord Dayan said with regret.

There was deep regret in his tone.

Listening to Lord Dayan's self-narration, Han Li became more determined to devote himself to the Tao and achieve immortality.
