Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 332 Advice
"But the extreme dangers within the space nodes and the ubiquitous space force make it difficult for us to resist, not to mention the possible space storms. I'm sure you know how powerful the space storms are. If we're not careful, even the Jindan cultivators like us will die. It's almost impossible to resist." When he said this, his voice became more solemn.

"To be honest, Junior Brother, I have traveled around the human world and found several space nodes. But all of these space nodes are too unstable. Space storms often sweep out. If you enter, you will definitely die."

A look of regret emerged on Xiang Zhili's face. If those space nodes were more stable, he might have ventured in earlier and would have had a good chance of being in the upper realm now.

Nie Zhaonan nodded. Xiang Zhili, who was wholeheartedly devoted to ascending to the upper realm, did indeed have some skills.

But suddenly, his eyes flashed with light and he thought of something, and asked curiously: "How many people have cooperated with Senior Brother?"

Xiang Zhili's face froze, he coughed heavily a few times, and said:
“There is only Fellow Daoist Feng, but once we gain something, the other old guys will definitely want to borrow the space node, and then we will naturally make them pay a price.”

He felt a little embarrassed for what he said, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Did Junior Brother find out what I was doing when he probed my cultivation level earlier?"

In fact, Nie Zhaonan was not too interested in how many people had cooperated with this Senior Brother Xiang. He just asked casually. Now that he heard Xiang Zhili talking about cultivation, Nie Zhaonan became slightly interested:
"Please help me solve my doubts, brother."

Xiang Zhili laughed and explained in a friendly manner:

"As long as cultivators like me advance to the stage of Divine Transformation, not only can the spiritual energy in our bodies be dispersed from the Dantian and meridians in our bodies into our flesh and blood, but even our Nascent Soul can be transformed into invisible in a short period of time. Naturally, Junior Brother will not be able to detect my exact cultivation level."

"This is also the reason why I often pretend to be a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage without fear of being discovered by cultivators with amazing magical powers." He finally explained why he liked to dress up as a young cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

"So that's how it is." Nie Zhaonan understood. After all, it was because Nascent Soul and Spiritualization were two completely different realms. It would be useless even if his spiritual awareness was comparable to that of Spiritualization.

But then again, even if he really became a Jindan cultivator, he would not be like this senior brother Xiang, hiding several major realms at once, and showing all kinds of respect to some foundation-building and core-forming "seniors", performing all kinds of etiquette, and disguising himself like a clown.

In his opinion, it was enough to pretend to be at least one or two small realms. There was no need to pretend to be a "junior" and be ordered around by others. This feeling was really not good.

Then, Nie Zhaonan naturally talked about his own experience in cultivation, and also asked about some questions about breaking through the bottleneck of the Spirit Transformation and cultivation.

Because he was optimistic about Nie Zhaonan's ability, Xiang Zhili gave him advice without hiding anything, and shared his own experience and insights in cultivation.

Nie Zhaonan practiced the inherited martial arts method of Taiyi Divine Thunder Jue, which included the magical power of clones, sword formations, and finally the method of refining the Five Elements' natal flying sword to break through the realm of refining emptiness, which was also unique.

While casually saying something that greatly benefited Xiang Zhili, the last bit of contempt in Xiang Zhili's heart for this junior fellow disciple also disappeared without a trace.

As one of the best incarnation cultivators in the human world, who has practiced for more than a thousand years and traveled to most of the human world, Nie Zhaonan naturally benefited a lot from Xiang Zhili's guidance.

Not only did he have more confidence in breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Stage in the future, he also gained some understanding of the cultivation of mana in the Spirit Transformation Stage, which really saved him a lot of detours.

On the one hand, he was grateful for Xiang Zhili's guidance, and on the other hand, he also wanted to exchange some necessary things. After the exchange of cultivation experiences, Nie Zhaonan took out a Qingling Fruit.

Upon seeing this holy medicine that could extend one's life by more than three hundred years, Xiang Zhili's face naturally changed drastically. He was shocked for a while, and immediately asked Nie Zhaonan to propose conditions without any hesitation.

Lifespan is one of the most important issues for these old guys. After all, they have spent too long in this human world and their lifespan is not very sufficient.

Satisfied, Nie Zhaonan proposed the conditions he had already thought of, and named more than 20 kinds of spiritual medicines and materials.

Xiang Zhili was worthy of being a Divine Transformation cultivator who had plundered the human world and had a great fortune. He actually took out eleven materials specified by Nie Zhaonan at once, which really made Nie Zhaonan very satisfied.

Most of these eleven materials are needed to imitate the Sky-Escape Shuttle magic treasure, and two of the materials for refining the Soul-Transforming Talisman have also been gathered. The only thing missing is a material called the 'Disaster-Transforming Stone', and all the materials for refining the Soul-Transforming Talisman will be complete.

After both parties got what they needed, Xiang Zhili naturally said goodbye and left with satisfaction.

After watching Xiang Zhili's back leaving the attic, Nie Zhaonan slowly withdrew his gaze.

At this time, Yin Yue walked out slowly from a corner, walked to Nie Zhaonan's side in a few steps, hugged his arm, and asked with a little curiosity:
"What was the master talking about with that Qi Refining disciple? They talked for such a long time, and it was still so secretive?"

When talking with Nie Zhaonan just now, Xiang Zhili silently set up an illusion array to conceal the two of them. Yin Yue naturally had no idea what they were talking about.

"He is not a Qi Refining disciple, but one of the few remaining Spirit Transformation cultivators in the Great Jin Dynasty." Nie Zhaonan had no intention of hiding the truth for Xiang Zhili and spoke frankly.

If someone else had asked, he might have concealed the fact, but after all, it was his Taoist partner who was asked.

"A Divine Transformation Monk!" Yin Yue opened her mouth slightly, very surprised.

She was naturally not shocked by Xiang Zhili's cultivation in the Spirit Transformation Stage. After all, she herself was a cultivator in the late Spirit Transformation Stage. What shocked her was that a Spirit Transformation cultivator could actually disguise himself as a low-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, and she had not noticed any flaws at all.

"This fellow Daoist is too cautious." Yin Yue would not offend a Jindan cultivator easily, so she had to say this.

After going down to the first floor of the attic, Xiang Zhili, who had just stepped one foot out of the attic, suddenly stiffened and his foot did not fall, but remained in the air, undecided.

"Perhaps Senior Brother Xiang doesn't want to have any conflict with the cultivators and waste his lifespan for no reason." Nie Zhaonan understood some of Xiang Zhili's concerns, but compared to the other several Jindan cultivators, Xiang Zhili was indeed worrying too much.

"Brother Xiang?" Yin Yue tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "My master is not from the Yellow Maple Valley, so how can he call this Divine Transformation cultivator his fellow apprentice?"

"More than two hundred years ago, Senior Brother Xiang came to Huangfeng Valley in disguise." Nie Zhaonan told the story that Xiang Zhili had stayed in Huangfeng Valley for some time, and also mentioned the Bloody Trial.

"Junior Brother Nie really understands my difficulties. You are just a little fox demon. For Junior Brother Nie's sake, I will not bother with you." Xiang Zhili's ears moved slightly, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he left the library in two steps.

On the second floor attic, Yin Yue listened to Nie Zhaonan's explanation and no longer paid attention to Xiang Zhili's matter. Instead, she asked, "What did you gain?"

Her master has many treasures and he likes to trade with high-level monks the most, so this time is no surprise.

Holding her waist, Nie Zhaonan said softly: "Don't worry, we have obtained several more materials for refining the spirit boat. At this rate, it won't be long before all the materials for refining the spirit boat are collected."

Nie Zhaonan naturally knew what Yin Yue was most concerned about. What she was most concerned about was when Nie Zhaonan would be able to ascend to the spirit world after she left. "That's good." Yin Yue smiled, her voice was joyful, and her face was beautiful.

Feeling Yin Yue's concern, Nie Zhaonan also smiled sincerely, but suddenly he thought of something, and Nie Zhaonan's smile faded, saying:
"Yin Yue, when you return to the upper realm, just focus on cultivation and improving your realm. Don't pay too much attention to my affairs."

According to the original trajectory, after Yin Yue ascended to the upper realm, he had a huge knot in his heart, which even affected his state of mind, so that he failed three times in a row to break through the bottleneck of the fusion stage at the peak of the refining realm.

Nie Zhaonan didn't want this to happen again to Yin Yue.

After understanding the meaning of Nie Zhaonan's words, Yin Yueyu's face showed a thoughtful expression. After thinking for a long time, she said:
"Based on the master's current progress in cultivation, it will take at most two to three hundred years for the master to be fully prepared and sneak into the spirit world through the space node. This amount of time is not long for Yin Yue, and it should not affect my state of mind."

Nie Zhaonan shook his head and sighed:
"There are unexpected events in the world. Two or three hundred years is just a guess. It is not certain how many years it will take for me to enter the spirit world."

Yin Yue's expression also became serious, with a barely perceptible hint of worry.

Indeed, the road ahead is unpredictable. No one can tell what crises or opportunities we will encounter in the future.

Nie Zhaonan gently kissed her delicate face and said lightly:
"I told you not to worry about me, but now you are worried. Don't forget that I still have Zixiao Cave Heaven as a retreat. If I encounter an irresistible danger, as long as I hide in the cave heaven, who can threaten me?"

Gradually, his tone became more confident.

The existence of Zixiao Cave Heaven is undoubtedly his ultimate life-saving trump card at any time.

"I am so stupid that I didn't even think of this." Yin Yue's words were full of self-blame, but a beautiful smile appeared on her face.

In fact, Yin Yue's heart was on Nie Zhaonan. She was worried and didn't think about anything else, otherwise she would have thought of this.

"Okay, blame your husband for not reminding you." Nie Zhaonan hugged Yin Yue tighter and said lovingly.

"When you return to the upper realm, your husband will give you some gifts, and I guarantee you will like them." Feeling Yin Yue's seductive body, Nie Zhaonan suddenly said this.

"What is it?" Yin Yue became curious when she heard Nie Zhaonan's loud tone.

"What's the point of telling it now?" Nie Zhaonan shook his head, unwilling to reveal it, but reminded:

"Remember what I said today. No matter when we meet again, after returning to the upper realm, you only need to focus on cultivation and don't need to worry about other things."

"If your cultivation fails to satisfy me when we meet again, I will punish you severely." Finally, Nie Zhaonan said jokingly with a smile.

"Hmph." Yin Yue snorted, "Master, don't underestimate me. I have the cultivation base of the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. As long as I return to my original body, my cultivation base will be restored immediately. Moreover, my original body is from the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, and my cultivation aptitude is not bad. It is unlikely that my husband will catch up with me in a short time."

"I hope it's as you wish." Nie Zhaonan raised his eyebrows, not caring, and said lightly.

Because of the Seven Clouds Lotus in his hand, his future practice will be smooth all the way to the middle stage of Spirit Transformation.

After all, as long as the Qixia Lotus is ripened to a medicinal age of 100,000 years and produced lotus seeds, and then the lotus seeds are used to refine the Qixia Pills, with the magical effect of the Qixia Pills, if ten pills are refined continuously, one can naturally break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation without any hindrance.

By then, the gap in cultivation between him and Yin Yue would be just a small realm, and it would only be a matter of time before Yin Yue was caught up by him.

Seeing Nie Zhaonan's confident look, Yin Yue suddenly felt something was wrong.

Her master was truly an enchanting bastard, a cultivator at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage who was over 200 years old. No, it should be a Spiritualization cultivator who was less than 300 years old.

After all, for Nie Zhaonan, breaking through to the God Transformation stage is a sure thing, and there is no need to wait too long. He can advance to the God Transformation stage within ten years at most.

A Divine Transformation cultivator who is less than 300 years old is rarely heard of even in the spiritual world.

There is no such existence among humans and demons, and it is unknown how many years it will take for one to appear among the major tribes in the spiritual world.

Just as Yin Yue was thinking about it, footsteps were heard on the stairs, and soon, Nie Ying's figure appeared in front of the two.

"Ying'er, is the transaction over? What's the result?" Nie Zhaonan asked as soon as he saw Nie Ying.

"Yes." Nie Ying nodded slightly, "I exchanged a Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng Pill and some pills that increase mana for the method of practicing Wood Release Technique."

The Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng Pill and the magic power-enhancing pills are extremely expensive, not to mention for Jindan cultivators. Even for Yuanying cultivators with higher cultivation levels, pills have always been the most sought-after treasures among cultivators, and they are something that is in short supply.

But for Nie Zhaonan at this time, it was just an ordinary thing that could be obtained by spending some spirit stones.

It was a very cost-effective deal to be able to exchange these useless pills for the method of practicing Wood Release Technique.

"This Wood Release Technique is somewhat different from the normal method of cultivation." Nie Ying suddenly said this.

"Oh?" Nie Zhaonan was a little surprised when he heard that.

Nie Ying had no intention of keeping the secret, and said softly:
"I have also learned that the Five Elements Escape Technique is just like ordinary Five Elements magic. It can be practiced according to the formula of the magic. Whether or not one can achieve success through practice depends entirely on the cultivator's own luck."

Having said this, Nie Ying paused, then changed the subject and said:

"But the training method I got this time comes with the method of refining a special magic weapon, called the 'Wood Spirit Pearl'. As long as this magic weapon is refined, you can rely on the unique effects of the 'Wood Spirit Pearl' to gradually master the Wood Escape Technique. When the escape technique is finally perfected, even if you give up the 'Wood Spirit Pearl', it will not affect you in the slightest."
