Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 319 Duobao Han Li
Seeing Han Li's hesitation, Nie Zhaonan asked, "Brother Han, if you have anything else to say, please feel free to speak up."

Including the spirit stones extorted from the ancient demon, he has already obtained two huge quantities of spirit stones because of Han Li, and he is in a good mood now.

"Since you asked me this, I won't hide anything from you." Han Li was polite for a while, paused, and then said, "Brother, do you have a spiritual pill that can enhance spiritual consciousness?"

After asking, Han Li quickly explained:
"This was also told to me by Senior Dayan. After all, practicing the Dayan Art requires extremely high talent in spiritual awareness, and my fellow Taoists have all cultivated the Dayan Art to an extremely high level. If things continue like this, everyone has a great chance of mastering the entire Dayan Art. That's why Senior Dayan made such a guess."

There was something else in his words. Since so many people could take it, it meant that the quantity of this pill was not rare, and the price he could get from it could hopefully be lower.

"Han boy, you really sold me out in front of me! Aren't you afraid that I will get angry with you?" The angry voice of Dayan God sounded in Han Li's mind.

"Senior Dayan, since Senior Brother Nie has let his fellow Taoists know the secret, this secret is not that serious." Han Li said in a flattering tone.

"It's not that serious. Do you still need me to block the knife?" Dayan God laughed angrily.

"Brother Nie has the elixir that can enhance spiritual consciousness. Didn't I learn about it from you?" Han Li said in a daze.

"Forget it. I can't hold on for much longer anyway. I'll be dead soon. Just let you block the blow." Lord Dayan was too lazy to argue with Han Li.

Hearing this, Han Li did not send any more messages, and a faint sadness welled up in his heart.

The two of them communicated in a matter of seconds, and then Nie Zhaonan's voice rang out:
"Daoyou Dayan is right. I do have a magic pill in my hand, called the Soul-Nourishing Pill. However, this pill is made from the Soul-Nourishing Wood, one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation. Junior Brother Han, you can imagine how precious this pill is."

Upon hearing the name of the Soul-Nourishing Wood, Han Li no longer had any doubts about the efficacy of the Soul-Nourishing Pill, but he also knew in his heart that the price of trading for this pill would not be small.

However, Han Li's eyes lit up and he said, "Junior brother, you know how precious this item is. As long as you are willing to trade, I will definitely give you a treasure that will satisfy you."

It is much better to have something to exchange than not to have it at all, even if the cost is not small.

After thinking for a while, Nie Zhaonan said hesitantly, "Originally, I didn't intend to trade the Soul Nourishing Pill, but since Junior Brother Han wants it, I may consider it."

Han Li's face lit up, he looked around and suggested: "Brother, this is not a place for trading, let's go to another place."

This time he revealed his true face, and he was a little worried that he would be discovered by Saint Tianlan.

"That's right." Nie Zhaonan nodded. "Let's go to my temporary residence and discuss the following matters in detail."

After saying that, Nie Zhaonan led a group of fellow Taoists and walked forward along the street.

Han Li's body flashed with green light, and after disguising himself for a while, he caught up.

Soon, the group entered an inconspicuous courtyard somewhere in Jinjing.

Knowing that their husbands had something to discuss, the group of Taoist companions, led by Nangong Wan, returned to the house with no intention of participating.

In a small pavilion by the lake in the courtyard, Nie Zhaonan and Han Li sat opposite each other around a stone table.

"Junior Brother Han, can you check if there is any problem with the Soul-Nourishing Pill first?" Nie Zhaonan raised his hand and five ink-colored jade bottles appeared on the table in front of him.

"Okay. Then Junior Brother, please investigate first to determine the value of the Soul-Nourishing Pill and take out a suitable treasure to exchange for the pill." A hint of hesitation flashed across Han Li's face, but he still said without hesitation.

After nodding at Nie Zhaonan, Han Li reached out and took a jade bottle in his hand, then skillfully poured out a soul-nourishing pill.

The whole body of this pill is round, and it is dark and transparent in color. There are also strands of dark mist as thin as hair that linger and hover on the surface of the pill. It is extremely strange and magical!

Upon seeing this, a look of surprise immediately flashed across Han Li's face. It was also the first time he had seen such a strange elixir. Even the fragrance of the elixir had condensed into substance and did not dissipate.

After calming down a little, Han Li released a ray of spiritual consciousness without hesitation to explore the soul-nourishing pill in his hand.

As a result, as soon as his spiritual consciousness came into contact with the dark mist on the surface of the Soul-Nourishing Pill, which was also the fragrance of the pill, it was as if he had encountered a tonic and began to absorb it on its own.

In an instant, the fragrance of the pill emanating from the surface of the Soul-Nourishing Pill was absorbed by Han Li's spiritual sense.

A hint of excitement appeared on Han Li's face and his eyes flickered a few times. He suppressed the greed in his heart that wanted to swallow the Soul-Nourishing Pill immediately and withdrew his spiritual consciousness.

Just by absorbing the fragrance of the elixir that escaped on its own, Han Li clearly felt that his spiritual sense had suddenly become a little stronger.

He started practicing the Dayan Jue almost immediately after establishing his foundation, and it has been more than two hundred years now.

Although he did not practice this spiritual power all the time, he also spent a small part of his time on the Great Evolution Technique.

Even so, the strength of his spiritual awareness is only slightly stronger than that of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

He naturally knew the difficulty of enhancing spiritual awareness, but now he could accomplish this effortlessly by just refining elixirs. How could he not be excited?

"Wow, tsk tsk tsk, it's really a treasure for enhancing spiritual consciousness!" Just as Han Li was excited, the bamboo tube behind him suddenly flashed green light, and a golden little man appeared there.

This little man is a puppet several inches in size, made of neither gold nor wood, and extremely exquisite. He vaguely resembles a middle-aged man who has been shrunk hundreds of times, with an elegant appearance.

At this moment, the little man had jumped onto Han Li's shoulder, his eyes flashing green, staring intently at the soul-nourishing pill in Han Li's hand.

"The Soul-Nourishing Pill is indeed made with the Soul-Nourishing Wood as the main material. However, the effect is several times more than that of the Soul-Nourishing Wood. It seems that a special method was used to extract the unique medicinal essence of the Soul-Nourishing Wood that enhances spiritual consciousness, and then it was refined into a pill with the help of other precious materials. In this way, a Soul-Nourishing Pill made with amazing medicinal effects, but the amount of Soul-Nourishing Wood consumed must not be less. It is really amazing that Brother Nie can refine this pill with such a big hand!" Dayan Divine Lord laughed and murmured. In just a moment, Dayan Divine Lord actually roughly guessed the method of refining the Soul-Nourishing Pill. Although it was only a rough estimate, it was also extremely amazing.

Nie Zhaonan smiled faintly and said, "Dayan Daoist is indeed a cultivator who has traveled across the southern part of Tiannan and Dajin. He is indeed well-informed and has extraordinary experience."

"I am still more curious about where you can get so many soul-nourishing woods." Turning his eyes away from the elixir and looking at Nie Zhaonan, Dayan God asked without hesitation.

When Han Li heard that Lord Dayan was actually asking about such a secret matter, his heart suddenly rose to his throat and almost jumped out: "Senior, senior, you don't have many days left to live, but I, Han Li, still have hundreds of years to live."

Not angry, Nie Zhaonan still smiled faintly and said:
"It was just a matter of chance. I once entered an ancient secret realm left by the Ice Soul Fairy, and luckily found the Soul Nourishing Tree there. Of course, there was also the recipe for the Soul Nourishing Pill, which is why I was able to increase my spiritual power to its current level so quickly."

"The founder of Beiye Xiaoji Palace, the Ice Soul Fairy?" Dayan God was shocked. "This person is an ancient cultivator, and there is a great possibility that she has successfully ascended to the upper realm. It is not surprising that she can leave behind the soul-nourishing wood and soul-nourishing pills." It seemed that he believed most of what Nie Zhaonan said, and had no intention of asking more questions.

Han Li was completely confused and couldn't get a word in, but he also understood that Senior Brother Nie had no intention of killing anyone to silence them, so he didn't have to worry about his own safety.

“Alas, if I had been able to refine the Soul-Nourishing Pill back then, I might have been able to rely on the powerful power of my spiritual consciousness to directly break through the bottleneck of the Spirit Transformation stage and advance to the Spirit Transformation stage.” The words of Lord Dayan were full of regret, but also full of confidence.

Han Li glanced at Dayan Divine Lord and was deeply shocked. He had heard Dayan Divine Lord mention more than once how easy it was for him to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage.

He is nothing like him. He doesn't have the slightest confidence in breaking through to the Spiritual Transformation stage.

However, Han Li would not be without preparation and methods. As someone who had practiced the Dayan Jue, he naturally knew the benefits of having a strong spiritual awareness. Apart from being a huge help in fighting, it also played a significant role in breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation and was sometimes even more effective than some panaceas.

This was also the reason why he decided to trade the Soul-Nourishing Pill this time instead of other treasures such as the Creation Divine Sand.

"Brother Nie, please take a look at these things first to see if you are satisfied." Han Li raised his hand and flicked his sleeves. Five jade boxes of different colors and sizes flew out one after another and landed on the table.

Nie Zhaonan didn't say anything. He reached out to grab one of the jade boxes in the air. With a whoosh, the jade box was sucked into his hand.

With a flick of his hand, a flash of silver light appeared and the lid of the box was easily opened.

A flat, round piece of cold jade that was as dark as a faint glow lay quietly in the jade box. Although it did not have any strange light or splendor, it gave off a chilling aura.

"Sha Lingyu?" A hint of surprise flashed across Nie Zhaonan's face, and he said calmly:
"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Han actually has this thing in his hand. The Evil Spirit Jade can only be formed in a strange place with strong evil energy and extreme darkness, after countless years of nourishment by the evil energy. It is the top-level material for refining magic treasures."

Han Li secretly admired Nie Zhaonan's extensive knowledge and said with a slightly changed expression:

"This item was obtained by me from the Fallen Demon Valley. Although it is not as good as the legendary magic treasures, it is definitely a rare magic material in the world. If I had not practiced magic skills and had no use for this item, I would not have been willing to take it out."

Nie Zhaonan took the evil spirit jade in his hand, examined it for a moment, and nodded, "Although I have not practiced the magic technique, my Taoist partner can use this evil spirit jade. This item is not bad."

After saying this, he put the jade back into the jade box and turned his eyes to the other four jade boxes.

Originally, he didn't have much hope that Han Li would come up with something good.

But just by opening a jade box, he saw the extremely rare Sha Ling Jade. He became curious about the things in these jade boxes.

Nie Zhaonan stretched out a finger and calmly pointed at the jade boxes a few times in the air. Then all the box lids flew aside by themselves, revealing the various things inside.

"Ten thousand year old blood ginseng, jade crystal, five-color wood, mirage stone."

Before Nie Zhaonan called out the names of the items in the boxes, the sharp-eyed Dayan God had already read out the names of these items one by one in surprise, and could not help but gasp.

In terms of rarity, almost none of these treasures are less valuable than the Evil Spirit Jade.

Especially the fist-sized mirage stone, for some monks who mainly practice illusion techniques, its value is even higher than a piece of soul-nourishing wood.

"Han boy, when did you obtain these treasures? I have followed you for so many years, how come I didn't know about it?" Dayan God looked at Han Li with green eyes, his words full of resentment.

Han Li coughed a few times and explained, "Ahem, Senior Dayan has been staying in the bamboo tube, and has been studying the secret art of puppetry and the method of refining imitation spiritual treasures most of the time, so he naturally doesn't know about these materials."

Anyone could tell that his words were full of excuses and lacked any truth.

"Hmph," Dayan Divine Lord snorted coldly, knowing that he would not get any answer. He suddenly thought of something, looked at Nie Zhaonan, and said leisurely, "If it was Brother Nie who came to Qianzhu Sect to look for me, I would definitely be much more comfortable than I am now. Who knows, the late Nascent Soul puppet that I have been dreaming of would have been refined long ago."

Hearing this, Han Li looked strange. He remembered that Lord Dayan wanted to be a woman in his next life. Was he impatient? Or was he tired of him?

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Dayan, I see that you and Junior Brother Han are getting along pretty well now." Nie Zhaonan said with a smile.

A long time ago, he actually knew about the existence of Lord Dayan, but as an old man who had lived for thousands of years, he had no interest in looking for Lord Dayan, let alone keeping him by his side.

"Brother Nie, what do you think of these treasures?" Without paying any more attention to Lord Dayan, Han Li was more concerned about the transaction of the Soul-Nourishing Pill, so he asked.

After saying this, Han Li felt a little uneasy. He turned around and looked at Nie Zhaonan who was looking at the things in the box.

Before Nie Zhaonan could speak, Lord Dayan shook his head and said calmly, "Boy Han, these treasures are good, but the Soul-Nourishing Wood is one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation after all. I'm afraid these five treasures are not even as valuable as five pieces of Soul-Nourishing Wood, let alone the finished Soul-Nourishing Pill."

In fact, Han Li also judged that the treasure he took out was indeed not as valuable as the five bottles of Soul Nourishing Pills, but he did not expect that there was still such a big difference. He wanted to give up the deal, but the Soul Nourishing Pills were not only related to the enhancement of his spiritual power, but also his hope of advancing to the God Transformation in the future.
Nie Zhaonan did not say anything. He retracted his gaze and looked at Han Li, who was full of hesitation. Since the values ​​were not equal, he would naturally not suffer a loss and exchange with Han Li.
