Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 314: Collecting Secret Techniques
How could it be so easy to ascend to the upper realms? That old monster Xiang ran around the human world every day, but he didn't find any hope of ascending, let alone the young man in front of him. Nie Zhaonan also had no hope of ascending to the upper realms. In the end, he was still like him, trapped in this human world until his lifespan ended.

Hearing this, Nie Zhaonan's heart was pounding. He dared to guarantee that he would be able to sneak into the spirit world through the space node within two to three hundred years. By then, this old ghost Bai would still be alive and the Taiyi Sect would not need his care. Doesn't this mean that he only needs to agree now and can get the Fire Essence Dates for free without paying anything?
“Well, after confirming the spatial node in the Void Spirit Palace, I should notify this old ghost Bai, lest he shut himself up to death. This can also be regarded as the price for this transaction of the Fire Essence Dates.” Nie Zhaonan thought silently in his heart.

Although he was not a good person, he still couldn't make up his mind to cheat the poor old man opposite him, and he had no grudge against the old man.

On the surface, Nie Zhaonan nodded and replied: "I agree to your conditions."

"Okay! As you are my fellow Taoist, I am not afraid that you will go back on your word." Old Ghost Bai did not hesitate. He slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a jade box made of an unknown red jade appeared in his hand. The jade box was only the size of a palm.

After taking out the jade box, Old Ghost Bai's eyes lingered on it for a while.

He knew that if he had not obtained the Qingling Fruit from Nie Zhaonan today, he would soon die from the things in the box. His expression was complicated for a moment.

But as an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, Bai Laogui quickly calmed down his emotions and stretched out his hand to hand it over without any reluctance.

"If I, Nie, really ascend to the spiritual world, I will also compensate Fellow Daoist Bai." Nie Zhaonan took the box and said after a moment's thought.

After hearing this, Bai Laogui didn't know what Nie Zhaonan meant. If there was any compensation, it should be given to Taiyi Sect. What was there to compensate him for?

However, after hearing what Nie Zhaonan said, he felt that he had not made a mistake. He smiled and said, "If that time comes, I, too, will have already entered the reincarnation cycle. Daoist Fellow Nie can do whatever he wants."

I don't know whether he was really so confident in Nie Zhaonan, or he thought that he had already passed away by then and could not influence Nie Zhaonan in the slightest.

"Fellow Daoist Bai is too polite. I, Nie, will certainly not let you suffer any loss." Regardless of what Old Ghost Bai thought, Nie Zhaonan just said with the same smile.

As a result, the two of them got along more harmoniously in the following time.

After exchanging some experiences on cultivation, this old ghost Bai also specifically told Nie Zhaonan about the situations of several other Divine Transformation cultivators, and mentioned Hu Laomo in particular.

This demon has the same thunder-attributed spiritual root as Nie Zhaonan. He might covet the skills and supernatural powers that Nie Zhaonan has cultivated. His temperament is also changeable, which is why Bai Laogui has to give him more warnings.

Nie Zhaonan was naturally very grateful and sent him to the deck of the flying boat.

Old Ghost Bai said slowly, "Take care, Fellow Daoist Nie. I will return to the sect to refine the medicinal power of the Qingling Fruit. If nothing unexpected happens and my life span increases, I will not come out of retreat to see if there is still a chance to break through to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. Of course, if Fellow Daoist Nie needs to find me, you can come to Taiyi Sect."

From his words, he still hadn't given up on breaking through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and looked as if he was going to go into seclusion.

Nie Zhaonan felt helpless, but he didn't say anything more to persuade him. He just nodded and said, "I hope everything goes well, Brother Bai."

"Haha, then I'll take advantage of your good words, fellow Taoist." Old Ghost Bai laughed loudly, and as his laughter spread, his figure disappeared from the spot.

This trip unexpectedly allowed him to obtain the Qingling Fruit, which could increase his lifespan by 300 years. Naturally, Old Ghost Bai was in a very comfortable and happy mood.

At this moment, a graceful figure walked out of the cabin. It was Nangong Wan. She said softly, "The other Taoist friends have already left. According to my husband's instructions, I asked Taoist friend Yi Xitian to stay."

At this time, more than half a day had passed since Nie Zhaonan invited Bai Laogui to have a chat. The exchange meeting and small exchange meeting organized by Nangong Wan had naturally ended long ago, and others did not dare to stay and left one after another.

"Wan'er, you did a good job." Nie Zhaonan put his arms around her waist and held her in his arms.

"With the intimidation of my husband, how could I not handle such a small matter. When Yi Xitian heard that it was my husband's request, he didn't want to ask any more questions. No one else who heard it dared to speak." Nangong Wan said with a little suffocation in her chest, and her cherry lips slightly opened.

"Wan'er is becoming more and more charming." Looking at her eyes filled with intoxicating spring, Nie Zhaonan suddenly praised.

"It's all my husband's fault for making me like this. Luckily, I can only be this aroused and charming when I'm close to my husband. Otherwise, I can't face anyone." Nangong Wan exhaled a breath of fragrance and murmured.

After a long period of dual cultivation, she would fall into a coma and be unable to move every time. It would be strange if she didn't behave like this now.

As if she had thought of something, Nangong Wan asked curiously, "Oh, right, my husband wanted to end the battle quickly from the beginning. It was because of Yu Ling's voice transmission that my husband decided to do so."

When the sisters were communicating with each other, although they activated the three-color shield of the Divine Wood Treasure Robe, she did not believe that Nie Zhaonan could not hear it. After all, not only did Nie Zhaonan also own the Divine Wood Treasure Robe, but all the treasure robes were made by him personally.

"They want to test my strength, but I can't let them do as they wish. Besides, ten late Nascent Soul cultivators, even with two imitation spiritual treasures, are not enough for me to go all out. As for Yu Ling, she obviously anticipated all this, which is why she made the bet with Nie Ying and the others. Besides, do I need to help Yu Ling secretly? I can do whatever I want with you, right?" Nie Zhaonan said slowly, smelling the fragrance of her daughter on her body.

"Yeah." Nangong Wan also thought it made sense and nodded, but soon she remembered something and looked into Nie Zhaonan's eyes and said seriously, "That place is impossible."

"Which place?" Nie Zhaonan pretended not to know.

"We practitioners are pure and spotless, without a trace of filth on our bodies." Nie Zhaonan said slowly, his tone extremely serious.

What he said was not wrong. People who practice cultivation do not eat worldly grains. Instead, they eat spiritual fruits and spiritual medicines and drink spiritual tea and spiritual wine. No filth is produced there. Moreover, cultivation can expel impurities from the body, making it as clean as jade.

"No matter what my husband says, that place is not allowed," Nangong Wan said without taking a step back.

"My husband has so many Taoist companions, Wan'er, don't you want to be closer to me?" Nie Zhaonan said seductively.

After they got married, Nie Ying also needed to maintain her yin and yang essence to reduce obstacles in building her foundation. He also spent a lot of time persuading Nie Ying to do so reluctantly.
"Pooh" Nangong Wan turned her face away and spat softly, "Husband, don't use your twisted logic to fool Wan'er, we are already close to each other." As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, and there was a hint of shame in her tone. "If Wan'er doesn't want to, your husband won't force her. But your husband believes that one day, you will get what you want." Nie Zhaonan was not angry, but said confidently.

"Wan'er would never do such a shameful thing. Sister Ying'er must have been deceived by her husband at that time. Wan'er would not be deceived." Nangong Wan said tenderly.

"Your husband will go meet the mysterious Taoist friend Yi Xitian first." Nie Zhaonan kissed her smooth forehead, and then let go of the beauty in his arms and walked into the cabin.

It was not until Nie Zhaonan's figure completely disappeared that Nangong Wan slowly withdrew her gaze and murmured to herself, "Even if you tempt me with natural treasures, magical skills, or powerful treasures, I, Nangong Wan, will never agree."

"Creaky." Nie Zhaonan arrived at the door of a room and pushed it open.

"Hello, Fellow Daoist Nie." Upon seeing Nie Zhaonan come in, Yi Xitian, who was sitting at the table, immediately stood up and said with a little respect.

"There's no need to be so polite, Brother Yi." Nie Zhaonan walked a few steps to the table and sat down opposite him.

Yi Xitian also sat back in his original seat, motionless, like a prisoner waiting for interrogation.

Seeing Yi Xitian's expression, Nie Zhaonan didn't care, but just said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Yi, you should know what I mean by keeping you, right?"

"Is it because I called out the name 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones' when fellow Taoist used his magical power of splitting himself into two bodies?" Yi Xitian said without thinking.

"That's right." Nie Zhaonan nodded.

"Haha." Yi Xitian smiled bitterly, "Part of Brother Daoist Nie's ability to clone himself should come from the Taoist secret technique 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones'."

“I created the magical power of ‘Divine Thunder Clone’. I believe that except for the cultivators who have studied the secret art of ‘One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones’, no one else can see any clues of the ‘Divine Thunder Clone’.” Nie Zhaonan said meaningfully.

The 'Divine Thunder Clone' was created by him based on the secret art of 'Mana Power Clone' and combining it with the incomplete version of 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones'. He is the only one who knows the secret art of 'Mana Power Clone', and the only ones who can see some clues about the 'Divine Thunder Clone' are the cultivators who have studied the secret art of 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones' attentively.

"It seems that even if I deny it, Fellow Daoist Nie will not believe it." Yi Xitian's face became more and more bitter. After a pause, he said, "I do have the Taoist magical power of 'One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones'."

After saying this, he became like a deflated balloon, his spirit and energy declining.

He knew that the secret technique in his hands could no longer be kept.

It's not like he hadn't thought about running away, but when he thought about Nie Zhaonan's strength, which was comparable to that of a Divine Transformation cultivator, he gave up this unwise idea. Running away would not only prove that he had what Nie Zhaonan needed, but would also offend Nie Zhaonan. It would be better for him to have a good talk with Nie Zhaonan and see if he could trade for something good.

After getting the answer he wanted, Nie Zhaonan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked, "Is the 'One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones' secret technique in your hand a complete or incomplete one?"

"If it were the complete version, with Yi's aptitude, he would have naturally learned this great magical power long ago. Maybe he could even become a being that can stand on equal footing with the Divine Transformation cultivators." Yi Xitian sighed and shook his head.

It was precisely because it was an incomplete copy and could not be used for cultivation that he was willing to take it out for exchange.

Nie Zhaonan showed no surprise when he heard this, but he felt a little worried in his heart. He was afraid that the incomplete copy in Yi Xitian's hand would overlap with his, so that he could not complete this great magical power.

Nie Zhaonan only had the first third of the part, which was the first layer, in his hand, while the complete 'One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones' secret technique should have as many as three layers.

However, he did not ask anything eagerly, but just waited quietly for the next part.

As expected, Yi Xitian continued, "I was able to obtain this great magical power by chance, and I found a secret technique hidden in an inconspicuous book in a mortal bookstore. It was also with this secret technique that I was able to borrow a replica of the spiritual treasure 'Water Control Flag' from the 'Zhenji Sect', one of the three major sects in the Great Jin Xiuxian World. It's just a pity that the result was a bit unfortunate."

Seeing that he hadn't mentioned the key points for a long time, Nie Zhaonan asked without hesitation: "Which parts of the secret technique fragments are in your hand?"

As for the relationship between Yi Xitian and the "Zhenji Sect", Nie Zhaonan subconsciously ignored it. He had no interest in whether Yi Xitian had secretly joined the "Zhenji Sect" or not.

"The secret formula for the first level of the secret technique is missing, and the other two levels are in my hands. I just don't know whether the incomplete copy in Fellow Daoist Nie's hand is the first level. Otherwise, even if we exchange them, we still cannot complete this secret technique." As he spoke, Yi Xitian looked at Nie Zhaonan, staring closely at every expression on his face, not willing to miss a single detail.

Hearing this, Nie Zhaonan felt relieved, and then his face lit up with joy. He said without hiding anything, "What I obtained is the formula for the first level of the technique."

"In this way, we can complete 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones'." After a flash of joy on Yi Xitian's face, he hesitated again. His lips moved, and he wanted to say something but said nothing.

"Since you have two levels of skills, I will not let you suffer any loss. In addition to exchanging the first level of skills, I can also agree to another condition of yours." Nie Zhaonan said, his tone was flat, but there was a hint of unquestionable meaning.

"With Fellow Daoist Nie's current status comparable to that of a Divine Transformation cultivator, it is already the greatest fortune that you can trade fairly with me." Yi Xitian breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and then said, "How about this, Fellow Daoist Nie gives me another grain of Creation Divine Sand, and we'll complete this transaction."

He still didn't dare to ask for too much and proposed conditions of commensurate value.

A grain of divine sand of good fortune is quite appropriate. Nie Zhaonan nodded and said calmly, "As you wish."

As he spoke, he slapped the storage bag on his waist. After a flash of light, a white jade slip and a khaki box several inches in size appeared in his hand. With a shake, the two objects flew straight towards Yi Xitian.
