Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 303: Revealed
At this time, he changed to half a person's height, with a pair of horns on his head, a simple face and big eyes, waiting for Nie Zhaonan's instructions.

"Thank you for your hard work in making 100,000 gold-eating insects complete the secret technique of ripening." Nie Zhaonan said slowly.

The Earth Armor Dragon scratched his head with his claws and said rather embarrassedly: "It is my duty to do something for my master. If my master hadn't brought me out of the Blood Forbidden Land, I might have died long ago, and I wouldn't have reached the ninth level so quickly, or even my bloodline would have transformed."

Even though ripening 100,000 gold-eating bugs took up a lot of his time and energy, it was a trivial matter compared to the benefits he gained from his master.

Hearing this, Nie Zhaonan nodded and asked, "How long will it take for these gold-eating bugs to completely transform into mature forms?"

"According to the ripening secret technique on the jade slip, in addition to infusing pure spiritual energy, all the spiritual medicines in the cave that can be used were used on these gold-eating insects." Tujialong thought for a while, "After the master gave me the blood apricots, I also ripened a batch of blood apricots and gave them to these gold-eating insects."

"One hundred thousand gold-eating bugs cost a total of over 100 million spirit stones. After spending such a huge price, the gold-eating bugs will metamorphose much faster, probably just a hundred years." Finally, the Earth Armor Dragon gave a time.

"A hundred years is already very fast." Nie Zhaonan nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly he thought of something and asked again, "How many spirit stones are left?"

Most of the spiritual stones in the cave are used to ripen spiritual medicines, so Nie Zhaonan asked the earth dragon to look after them.

"There are still 50 million spirit stones left." The Tujialong's black and white eyes rolled and he spoke as if recalling something.

“Fifty million spirit stones is not a small amount for the ten major sects of Dajin. Only the few remaining old monsters in the Spirit Transformation Stage have such a fortune. But for me, it is still not enough. It is just a drop in the bucket.” Nie Zhaonan shook his head, feeling quite helpless.

Zixiao Cave Heaven will continue to expand in the future, and there will be a lot of places that need spirit stones.

For him, earning spirit stones is easy. He just needs to sell the spiritual medicines in the cave.

Therefore, Nie Zhaonan did not think too much about the shortage of spirit stones. He did not forget the purpose of coming here, so he walked towards the spirit field beside him.

As he walked, he asked, "Where is the white rabbit transformed by the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng?"

The Earth Armor Dragon beside him had been following Nie Zhaonan all the time. When he heard the question, he answered seriously, "It should be in the main body now. It comes out every day to eat some spiritual herbs in the medicine garden, and then returns to the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng to sleep."

Nie Zhaonan nodded. The Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng had not yet developed its intelligence, so it could only rely on taking some spiritual medicines to speed up its cultivation.

Soon, Nie Zhaonan came to a seemingly ordinary old ginseng, with the earth dragon standing beside it.

"Do we need to wake it up?" asked the Earth Armor Dragon.

At this time he also realized that most of the people who came here were probably here for the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng.

"No need." Nie Zhaonan said lightly.

After saying this, he spread out his hands, and with a flash of inspiration, a jade box about a foot long appeared in his hands.

Nie Zhaonan did not hesitate. He flicked his fingers with his other hand and a flash of silver light shot out from his fingertips and sank into the jade box without any hindrance.

As soon as the silver light disappeared, the jade box emitted a bright green light. Then, with a "click" sound, the lid of the box opened automatically, revealing a fist-sized emerald green spiritual fruit inside.

"What is this?" The earth dragon asked curiously with shining eyes.

At the moment when this spiritual fruit appeared, his innate magical power began to change on its own. It was obvious that this spiritual fruit was very special, otherwise it would not have been like this.

"The Spiritual Awakening Fruit can help awaken the spiritual intelligence of things that have not yet been awakened." Nie Zhaonan explained slowly.

"The master wants to give this fruit to the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng. This way, it will indeed be of great help to it." Upon hearing this, the Earth Armor Dragon nodded in understanding. He did not covet this spiritual fruit at all.

At this moment, a white shadow suddenly emerged from the somewhat dry Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng. After a flash, a snow-white rabbit appeared in front of Nie Zhaonan.

It raised its head high, and looked at the things in the box with its ruby ​​eyes without blinking. The expression in its eyes changed from initial confusion to surprise.

"Its intelligence is already very high. If good things appear nearby, it will naturally wake up." The Earth Armor Dragon understood the meaning of the word 'not necessary'.

"Little guy, do you want it?" Nie Zhaonan shook the Qi Ling Fruit in his hand.

It was not known whether the white rabbit saw it clearly or really understood what Nie Zhaonan said. It jumped to Nie Zhaonan's feet, gently biting the corner of his clothes, its eyes full of desire.

"His intelligence has really increased a lot." Nie Zhaonan said in amazement.

"When I'm ripening elixirs in the medicine fields, I often run into it and talk to it." Tujialong said with a look of joy on his face, with quite a bit of pride in his tone.

Nie Zhaonan nodded, raised his hand and sent out the green spiritual fruit, which slowly floated towards the white rabbit.

The white rabbit's jewel-like eyes lit up, and it jumped up impatiently and swallowed the green spiritual fruit in one gulp.

The small mouth and the fist-sized spiritual fruit form a strong contrast, making people doubt whether the white rabbit can eat the spiritual fruit.

However, a magical scene happened. Just when the white rabbit was about to bite the spiritual fruit, the spiritual fruit suddenly burst out with a emerald green light and shrank rapidly. In an instant, it turned into a small dot of light and sank into the white rabbit's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling colorful light suddenly burst out from the white rabbit's body, wrapping the white rabbit tightly, forming a colorful ball of light.

'Whoosh! '

With lightning speed, the ball of light flashed across the sky and disappeared into the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng, and there was no movement anymore.

Nie Zhaonan activated the magical power of his spiritual and bright eyes, and his eyes flashed with blue light, penetrating the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng and looking inside.

There, a miniature white rabbit emitting five-colored light was lying quietly, with wisps of pure and clear spiritual air rushing towards the white rabbit. These pure and spiritual air were produced by the body of the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng.

As the white rabbit absorbed the pure and spiritual energy, the body of the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng shrank slightly, and its spirituality seemed to have diminished a little.

Nie Zhaonan withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and instructed the Earth Armored Dragon beside him: "It is currently undergoing a transformation. There is a high chance that it will be able to transform into a human form. Please take good care of it."

"I will take good care of it." Tujialong said seriously with a happy look on his face.

In this cave, he only had gold-eating bugs and blood jade spiders as neighbors. He was very bored on weekdays. Naturally, he was very happy that the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng could be enlightened.

"Yeah." Nie Zhaonan responded with relief.

After using the spirit stones to quickly ripen a batch of spiritual medicines, he disappeared from the medicine field and appeared in an alchemy room in the cave. At this time, he was ready to refine the Nine Mysterious Cold Jade Pill first, so that he could take it at any time when he broke through the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

The layout of the alchemy room is simple, but there are quite a few cushions and alchemy cauldrons, and there are also several wooden racks placed against the wall.

Nie Zhaonan sat cross-legged on a cushion and waved his sleeves. Nine spiritual herbs emitting an extremely cold aura slowly flew out and hovered motionless in the air. The Ice Dew Grass was among them.

Then he opened his mouth and sprayed out a spray of white infant fire that wrapped around the alchemy cauldron in front of him. It began to warm up, and the infant fire burned fiercely.

Nie Zhaonan was not idle at this time. He recalled the records on the pill recipe in his mind and compared it carefully to prevent any mistakes or omissions. At the same time, he took out the auxiliary spiritual medicine one by one.

Above the ice sea, Nie Zhaonan turned into a silver rainbow and flew away at a rapid speed.

It was already four months after the refining of the Nine Profound Cold Jade Pill.

This Nine Profound Cold Jade Pill is indeed a precious pill that can increase the chance of breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage by 30%. It is the first time that Nie Zhaonan has seen how difficult it is to refine. It makes him doubt whether there is anyone in the human world today who can really refine this pill.

Time and again, when the medicine cauldron was opened, all that came out were black waste pills, without any spirituality at all.

Repeated failures made Nie Zhaonan feel as if he had returned to the time when he was just learning how to refine pills.

However, Nie Zhaonan also had amazing comprehension and extremely advanced alchemy skills. Through repeated attempts, he gradually mastered the method of refining the Nine Profound Cold Jade Pill. After experiencing more than ten failures and spending more than ten days, he finally refined the pill.

With the Nine Profound Cold Jade Pill in his hand, all he lacks now is an opportunity for a breakthrough, and he will be able to advance to the Divine Transformation realm in one go.

Nie Zhaonan, who was flying, suddenly frowned, and his flight light dimmed. He stopped in the sky and looked ahead calmly.

Dozens of feet away from him, ripples like water waves suddenly appeared in the space, and a woman in silver clothes appeared in the flashing white light.

Seeing the beauty in front of him, Nie Zhaonan smiled bitterly: "Feng Fairy."

Originally, he thought that with his magical powers, he could escape from the ice sea without being noticed, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated the Ice Phoenix.

"Are you leaving, Guest Jiao? There's no need to be so impatient." A fierce look flashed in Bingfeng's eyes.

"I have no intention of running away with the treasure. All the pills that my fellow Taoists in Binghai asked me to refine have been refined and are now in my cave." Nie Zhaonan explained calmly, his voice still calm.

"Then where are you going?" Bing Feng's expression improved a little, but she still asked.

"Of course I'll leave." Nie Zhaonan answered with a firm tone, not hiding his intentions at all.

"I have spent such a huge price, and you are only willing to stay in the Ice Sea for such a short time." Bing Feng stared at Nie Zhaonan with murderous intent in his eyes.

Although guests are relatively free, there is no need to leave so soon, right?
Moreover, she clearly understood the meaning of Nie Zhaonan's words, and she had no intention of returning to the Ice Sea.

What was the huge price she paid?
Being fooled?
Or being deceived?
"Refine a thousand bottles of elixir, this is something that many alchemists cannot do in their entire lives. I have done enough." Nie Zhaonan thought for a while, "How about this, I owe the fairy another favor?"

Although this Ice Sea Guest Official was just a transaction, Nie Zhaonan indeed gained huge benefits from the Ice Phoenix. Not to mention the Awakening Fruit that could completely awaken the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng, without the Ice Dew Grass, it would be impossible for him to refine the Nine-Profound Cold Jade Pill at this time.

Considering the value of the Nine Profound Cold Jade Pill, it wouldn't be a big deal to promise Bing Feng a favor.

"Favors?" Bing Feng sneered, her smile was cold, "Why would I, the Lord of the Ice Sea, need your favors?"

"Come back with me and be my guest at Binghai. I will let bygones be bygones." Considering that Nie Zhaonan did not cause any damage to Binghai, Bingfeng took a step back and said.

Nie Zhaonan was indeed the one who was not right, but he did not get angry. He just said calmly: "Feng Xianzi, it's a little too early for you to speak."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Zhaonan's aura was no longer concealed and gradually became stronger.

An invisible storm suddenly swept in, causing the two men's clothes to rustle.

The cultivation level that was originally equivalent to the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul suddenly broke through a limit.
Late stage of Nascent Soul!

The peak of the late Nascent Soul stage!

Nie Zhaonan's level of cultivation was fully revealed without any reservation.

Under the impact of the powerful aura, Bing Feng's jade face finally lost its indifference and revealed a look of shock: "Impossible! Your aura is even stronger than mine!"

"You are also an existence that can enter the God Transformation Stage at any time. Why have I never heard of a dragon like you?" Bing Feng questioned, with a thoughtful look between his brows.

"The human world is so vast that not just anyone can travel throughout it. I'm not from the Great Jin Dynasty, so it's normal that Fairy Feng doesn't know." Nie Zhaonan had a slight smile on his face.

He had been holding back his cultivation at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage for too long, and now that it was released, he naturally felt very refreshed.

"Not the Great Jin." Bing Feng murmured, gradually raised her head, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, as if she thought of something, and opened her mouth and said:

"Nie Zhaonan."

Hearing his real name, Nie Zhaonan was startled and subconsciously asked, "How did you know that?"

He hadn't said anything and was hiding his identity, so how could it be guessed so quickly? This was what puzzled him the most. Did he accidentally reveal some flaw?
"Master of alchemy, you have a profound level of cultivation, and you come from outside the Great Jin. The only one who meets these conditions is Nie Zhaonan, who has gained considerable fame recently. With your level of cultivation, it is not surprising that you have some means to hide your identity so that I cannot see it." Bing Feng's lips curled up slightly, unable to hide the pride in her heart.

"What the fairy said seems to make sense, but it is mostly based on guesswork and there is no substantial evidence." Nie Zhaonan shook his head slightly, and a light flashed on his body. As the light dimmed, his original face gradually revealed itself.

He has a handsome face, an upright figure, and a graceful temperament that comes out naturally. He is dressed in a dark black robe, and he looks domineering.

Bing Feng's eyes narrowed, and she thought to herself, "As expected." The smile on her jade face became more obvious. "It was indeed a guess, but Fellow Daoist Nie didn't deny it the first time, right?"

At this time, Nie Zhaonan was slightly stunned. He did not deny it just now. Of course, with his identity, he would not try to quibble if someone guessed it.

Besides, all his goals have been achieved now, so it doesn't matter if his real identity is known by this Ice Phoenix.
