Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 336: Ten Thousand Trees Formation
The good news was that his Tiansang sacred tree was saved, and the Wanmu Formation was also saved.

But correspondingly, how much value can a small sapling, even if it is a sapling of the Tiansang sacred tree, have, not to mention what good things can be traded for it.

Looking at the complex expression on Old Man Kuzhu's face, Nie Zhaonan said:

"How about this, I will trade one Dingling Pill for the Tiansang sacred tree and the three saplings that I don't have. Fellow Daoist Kuzhu shouldn't suffer any loss. And this is just the beginning of the transaction."

Nie Zhaonan did not finish his words, he stopped abruptly halfway through.

"The Dingling Pill is an extremely precious holy medicine for forming an infant. I am naturally happy to exchange it for four worthless saplings. I agree to this deal. I just don't know what else Brother Nie has his eyes on on my Kuzhu Island? Could it be the method of cultivating and refining the Wood Spirit Guards?" Upon hearing this, old man Kuzhu's face looked better, and he agreed immediately, and finally said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Although the Wood Spirit Guards have some unique features, they are of little use to us." Nie Zhaonan shook his head without changing his expression.

"What is that?" Old Man Kuzhu looked puzzled.

Along the way, Nie Zhaonan and the other two only saw the spiritual trees on the island and the wood spirit guards guarding outside the temple gate.

Could it be that he knows some secrets of my Kuzhu Island?
But those things were only known to the island owner. No one else on the island knew about them, and there was no way they could be leaked out.

"I hope the island master will not be offended by what I have said. If you are unwilling to trade, I will not force you." Nie Zhaonan reminded.

"Brother Daoist Nie, please feel free to speak frankly." Old Man Kuzhu had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still said it nonchalantly.

"The method of setting up the Ten Thousand Trees Array should be kept in the hands of Daoist Fellow Kuzhu." Nie Zhaonan glanced at old man Kuzhu and said lightly.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to exchange this formation?" Old Man Kuzhu couldn't help but raise a hint of anger in his tone. "Fellow Daoist, you should know that compared to a sacred Tiansang tree, the arrangement of the Ten Thousand Trees Formation is more important. The reason why Kuzhu Island can have such a great reputation in Dajin is mostly due to the power of the Ten Thousand Trees Formation."

"If the method of setting up the Ten Thousand Trees Array falls into your hands, then my Ten Thousand Trees Array will be completely useless and can be easily broken by you." A solemn look appeared on his face.

"To be honest, even if there is no method to set up the Ten Thousand Trees Array, I, Nie, can break the array that fellow Daoist relies on with just one hand." Nie Zhaonan said with an indifferent expression and a calm tone.

Old Man Kuzhu wanted to open his mouth to refute something, but when he thought of Nie Zhaonan's strength, he held it in for a long time and couldn't say anything.

After thinking for a while, his expression eased a little, and then he asked, "What do you want to do with the arrangement of the Ten Thousand Trees Formation, Brother Nie? There are not many places suitable for setting up the Ten Thousand Trees Formation. At least a ten thousand year old spiritual wood is needed as the center of the formation to set up this formation."

"Nie has a companion who is quite talented in formation. I want her to study the Ten Thousand Trees Formation. Fellow Daoist Kuzhu, don't worry. I will definitely not spread the method of arranging the Ten Thousand Trees Formation, and I will not do anything to harm you." Nie Zhaonan explained slowly, and made a promise at the end.

After another moment of silence, Old Man Kuzhu sighed heavily and said helplessly:
"Well, I believe that with Fellow Daoist Nie's current status, he will certainly not lie to me. I can give you the method of setting up the Ten Thousand Trees Array. As for the item for the transaction."

Having said this, old man Kuzhu paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought, and seemed a little undecided.

Nie Zhaonan was not in a hurry either. He took a few sips of the Tiansang tea in the cup leisurely and did not urge him.

Nie Zhaonan didn't have to wait long. Soon, the voice of Elder Kuzhu sounded in the hall:
"Give me one elixir that can help me break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, plus ten bottles of elixirs that can improve the mana of late Nascent Soul cultivators, and I will be able to offer you the method of setting up the Ten Thousand Trees Array with both hands."

Hearing this, Nie Zhaonan couldn't help but frowned, and slowly exhaled and said:
"Although I want the Ten Thousand Trees Formation, your appetite is a bit too big, isn't it? Although the Ten Thousand Trees Formation is an ancient wonder formation, the value of the formation arrangement alone is far less than what you proposed. At most, it is worth an elixir that can help you break through the bottleneck."

As he spoke, Nie Zhaonan's tone gradually became unhappy.

"Fellow Daoist, you really have the elixir that I need!" Old Man Kuzhu was surprised and delighted.

He had just asked casually, and he didn't necessarily want the elixir he mentioned. He could use something else of equal value instead, but it would be great if Nie Zhaonan could give him the elixir he needed.

Seeing Nie Zhaonan looking over with a slightly unhappy expression, Elder Kuzhu hurriedly explained:

"Does Fellow Daoist Nie think that the power of the Ten Thousand Trees Formation on Kuzhu Island is the full power of this formation? Although there are many spiritual trees on Kuzhu Island, the formation arranged with them can only exert one or two percent of the full power of the Ten Thousand Trees Formation at most."

"The Ten Thousand Trees Formation, as its name suggests, is best arranged with 10,000 spiritual trees that are 10,000 years old. The more precious the spiritual trees, the better. Only in this way can the true power of the Ten Thousand Trees Formation be brought into play. At that time, it will truly have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth."

“So, I have no intention of deceiving Fellow Daoist Nie. On the contrary, you have taken advantage of me.” Finally, old man Kuzhu smiled and said in a friendly manner.

Hearing the description of the Ten Thousand Trees Array, Nie Zhaonan was also slightly surprised, and Yin Yue and Yuan Yao were no exception. However, the three of them did not show their joy.

On the surface, Nie Zhaonan's expression remained calm, without the slightest sign of abnormality. He put down the tea in his hand and said calmly:

"Hearing what fellow Daoist said, the power of this Ten Thousand Trees Formation is indeed terrifying. But it is not a simple matter to unleash its full power. Ten thousand year old spiritual trees are so precious that ordinary cultivators dare not even think about having a few of them, let alone tens of thousands of them."

Hearing this, Old Man Kuzhu's heart tightened. How could he not understand this? No matter how powerful the formation was, if it could not be deployed, it would be useless.

Suddenly, Nie Zhaonan changed the subject and said, "But I also know how precious this formation is, and I have some confidence in my Taoist partner. It is not difficult to comprehend this Ten Thousand Trees Formation. Who knows, I might be able to set up a simplified version."

"Hahaha." Old Man Kuzhu laughed heartily, "This transaction is absolutely worth the money. Fellow Daoist will definitely not regret it!"

He was in an extremely cheerful mood, and his voice caused the spiritual energy around him to churn. If some low-level cultivators were here, they would have been shocked to the point of passing out.

"Here, this is the arrangement method of the Ten Thousand Trees Array." Old Man Kuzhu was afraid that Nie Zhaonan would regret it, so he waved his hand and threw a jade slip out.

Nie Zhaonan raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to take the jade slip in his hand, then unceremoniously separated a wisp of spiritual consciousness, invaded the jade slip, and carefully examined the contents inside.

The Ten Thousand Trees Array has ten thousand thousand-year-old spiritual trees as its core. Once the array is completed, there is no need for cultivators to activate the array. The Ten Thousand Trees Array can automatically integrate the power of all the trees and exert its power.

The power of the formation covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, and its power is unparalleled! Depending on the different spirit woods used to form the formation, this formation can focus on three aspects: attack, defense, and assistance.
The more Nie Zhaonan looked back, the more frightened he became. Whether judging from the power, effectiveness, or scale of the formation, this Ten Thousand Trees Formation did not seem to be a formation that should exist in the human world.

If ten thousand spirit eye trees were used as the core of the formation to arrange the Ten Thousand Trees Formation, Nie Zhaonan could not imagine how rich the spiritual energy in the formation would be.

After taking a quick look at the jade slip and making sure there was no problem, Nie Zhaonan withdrew his spiritual sense. Suddenly he thought of something and handed the jade slip to Yin Yue who was standing beside him.

A trace of confusion appeared on Yin Yueyu's face. Although she didn't know why the master gave her the jade slip, she took it without hesitation, immersed her consciousness in it, and began to examine the contents inside.

When old man Kuzhu saw this, his eyes turned slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"Daoyou's Ten Thousand Trees Formation is indeed genuine, and the power of the formation is indeed as Daoyou said, it is extremely powerful." As he spoke, Nie Zhaonan flicked his sleeves, and a small jade box flew out from his sleeves and flew towards old man Kuzhu.

This was not the end yet. Ten white jade bottles followed the jade box and flew over.

"Haha, I think fellow Taoist will be satisfied." Old Man Kuzhu laughed. He did not rush to open the jade box, but casually opened a jade bottle and poured out a pill.

Looking at the round and crystal-clear pill in his hand, old man Kuzhu showed a hint of surprise. This elixir, which could improve the magic power of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, was so effective that it was beyond his expectations.

With a flash of joy in his eyes, he hurriedly put the pill in his hand back into the jade bottle and put it into the storage bag.

Then, he looked at the jade box in his hand, and without much hesitation, he flicked his finger and opened the lid unceremoniously. Immediately, a strong fragrance of elixir wafted to his face. With just a slight sniff, he could vaguely feel that the bottleneck was a little loose.

He narrowed his eyes, and a look of joy appeared on his face, followed by deep doubt and disbelief:
"Is this the Good Fortune Pill?"

He looked at the jade box again. Although it was a little strange, it had no effect in preserving the Creation Pill for a long time and making it lose its medicinal effect.

"Isn't this pill not able to be preserved for a long time? Why does the efficacy of this Creation Pill still seem to be intact?"

Nie Zhaonan was not surprised by the continuous questions from Elder Kuzhu. He just smiled and said:
"It is true that the Creation Pill cannot be preserved for a long time, but I, Nie, have some tricks. Therefore, I can preserve the Spirit Candle Fruit used to refine this pill so that it will not lose its medicinal properties for a long time."

In fact, Nie Zhaonan had no means to preserve the Lingzhu Fruit, and the special means he mentioned were just a cover-up.

Of course, it can also be said that this special method is to allow the Lingzhu fruit to grow on the Lingzhu fruit tree. As long as the Lingzhu fruit is not picked from the tree, the Lingzhu fruit can naturally preserve its medicinal properties for a long time.

"I see."

There are many magical skills and secret techniques in the world, so it is not unbelievable that Nie Zhaonan has the means to preserve the Lingzhu Fruit. Old Man Kuzhu has no intention of delving into it. Anyway, he just needs to confirm whether the Creation Pill is real or not, and the rest has nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Elder Kuzhu was still using his spiritual sense to carefully detect the elixir in the box, Nie Zhaonan said casually:

"As for the Good Fortune Pill in your hand, I specially refined it before I came to your island."

At this time, Old Man Kuzhu had already confirmed that the Creation Pill was indeed real. He closed the lid of the box with a look of joy on his face and performed several spells in succession to seal it.

After he put the jade box away, he was in a very good mood and said with a grin:
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Nie had prepared everything before he even met me."

After a pause, he exhaled a breath of foul air: "Indeed, for those of us whose cultivation has not yet reached the late Nascent Soul stage, the Good Fortune Pill is undoubtedly a treasure that no one can refuse!"

Nie Zhaonan smiled but said nothing.

That's right. The Creation Pill, an elixir that allows Nascent Soul cultivators to experience the next realm of enlightenment in advance, is a true holy medicine for Nascent Soul cultivators. No one can resist the temptation of breaking through the realm.

Using the Good Fortune Pill as a bargaining chip can be said to be a sure-fire success.

Moreover, with the spiritual field, Nie Zhaonan can easily get as many fortune pills as he wants without having to pay much price.

After getting the elixir he needed, Old Man Kuzhu became even more polite to Nie Zhaonan. He also sent a message to one of his disciples, asking him to fetch the four saplings that Nie Zhaonan needed, and started trading with Nie Zhaonan again.

As agreed before, Nie Zhaonan took out a Dingling Pill in exchange. Everything went smoothly. Under the gaze of old man Kuzhu, he successfully put four saplings, including the Tiansang sacred tree, into the storage bag.

In fact, he directly put the four saplings into the Zixiao Cave Heaven and ordered the Earth Armor Dragon to plant them on the spiritual field.

Because he couldn't use these four spiritual trees at the moment, he didn't let the Earth Armor Dragon use spiritual stones to ripen the four saplings. He let the spiritual field automatically absorb the spiritual energy in the air and slowly ripen these saplings.

It is said to be slow, but this is relative to the direct use of spirit stones to ripen it. In fact, it is more than ten times faster than the normal growth of the spirit tree.

Of course, even though Old Man Kuzhu had been keeping an eye on Nie Zhaonan, he didn't notice anything unusual about all this.

Suddenly, Old Man Kuzhu thought of something and said with hesitation:

"I have long heard that Fellow Daoist Nie has amazing magical powers. Although I know that I am far inferior to you, cultivators like me cannot lack the courage to fight. Therefore, I would like to learn from you."

"If necessary, please show mercy, Brother Daoist Nie!"

Nie Zhaonan looked thoughtful. He really had no interest in fighting with the old man Kuzhu in front of him, even though this cultivator at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage had the advantage of Kuzhu Island's formation and could be compared with the three immortals overseas and other great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

But I had just completed a deal with the other party and both parties were happy, so it would be inappropriate to refuse directly at this time.
