Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 340 In-depth Discussion
"Well, actually your husband has something to talk to you about." Nie Zhaonan did not hide it. As he spoke, he couldn't help but lower his head and buried it in her fair and slender neck, sniffing her body fragrance that was like orchid and musk. He felt relaxed and comfortable all over.

"Alas." Xin Ruyin pushed his head but couldn't move it. She said unhappily:
"I haven't bathed in so many years."

She even kind of disliked herself.

"There is no peculiar smell, it smells very good. Your husband doesn't mind." Nie Zhaonan didn't care and still smelled the fragrance on her body.

More than 20 years is still a bit long for Nie Zhaonan, who is only over 200 years old.

After not seeing each other for a long time, it is inevitable that I am a little obsessed with Xin Ruyin's body.

Looking at her husband who was addicted to her, Xin Ruyin was helpless. Suddenly, she thought of Nie Zhaonan's words and asked:

"My dear husband, what do you want from me? Could it be that you have obtained a powerful formation that I need to comprehend?"

"Ruyin is really smart." Nie Zhaonan praised her without hesitation.

Xin Ruyin was not too surprised to get a positive answer. She just let out a breath and said:

"My attainments in formations are the only thing that my husband would appreciate."

She looked a little depressed.

Nie Zhaonan's voice became serious:

"What do you mean by pleasing to the eye?"

"Ruyin, it is no exaggeration to say that your attainment in formations is number one in the human world, and I have only learned some knowledge of formations."

After a pause, Nie Zhaonan continued:

"Besides, Ruyin, your appearance is also the best in the world, stunningly beautiful."

"A beautiful lady with both talent and beauty, I love her the most"

"Yeah." Xin Ruyin nodded slightly, feeling a little shy due to the compliments.

After a short pause, Xin Ruyin regained her composure and said:
"My husband, please take out the formation first. Since you have come to me specially, the formation in your hand must be extraordinary. I am also very interested in it."

Most of his attention was on Xin Ruyin, so Nie Zhaonan briefly introduced her:

"This formation is one of the ancient wonder formations, the Ten Thousand Woods Formation. It is called an ancient wonder formation, but this formation was passed down from the spirit world. I believe Ruyin will like this formation very much."

While speaking, he slapped the storage bag on his waist with one hand, and after a flash of inspiration, a jade slip appeared in his hand and he handed it to her.

"An ancient strange formation, the Ten Thousand Trees Formation, or it was passed down from the spiritual world?" Xin Ruyin couldn't help but be surprised. She took the jade slip in her hand without hesitation. Then she turned around, closed her eyes impatiently, invaded her spiritual consciousness into the jade slip, and comprehended it silently.

Seeing that Xin Ruyin didn't want to pay any attention to him as soon as she got the jade slip that recorded the formation, Nie Zhaonan didn't get angry. He approached her from behind and his big hands gradually moved up to a comfortable position.

Feeling a slight pain in her chest, Xin Ruyin's eyelids twitched, and she came back to her senses from the joy of comprehending the formation. She stretched out her hand and clapped her paws, gently rebuking:
"Don't move, husband."

With just one glance, she was certain that this Ten Thousand Trees Array was extraordinary, so she naturally had to devote her whole heart to comprehending it.

"Okay, your husband will just hold you and won't disturb you from comprehending the formation." Nie Zhaonan said.

"Yeah." Xin Ruyin responded casually, and then immersed all her mind in the jade slip.

Nie Zhaonan stopped talking and silently felt the graceful curve between her waist and hips, which the thin clothes could not block at all.

Gradually, as the contents of the jade slip came into her mind, Xin Ruyin's face showed joy and her cheeks turned rosy.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xin Ruyin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. The surprise in her eyes could not be concealed at all.

Feeling her slightly trembling body, Nie Zhaonan asked, "Are you satisfied with this formation, Ruyin?"

"Satisfied. I couldn't be more satisfied." Xin Ruyin answered without thinking, her voice excited, "As long as I can fully comprehend this Ten Thousand Trees Formation, I will definitely gain a lot, and the level of the formation will definitely be raised to a higher level."

When she was still a young cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, she was very fond of studying the art of formations. Her love for formations was second only to Nie Zhaonan, the man she had decided to entrust her life to.

Before she met Nie Zhaonan, formations were undoubtedly her favorite, but Nie Zhaonan later surpassed her and replaced the original position of formations in her heart.

Hearing this, Nie Zhaonan was also happy for her.

However, thinking of a more critical issue, Nie Zhaonan asked:
"How long will it take to set up this formation?"

If Xin Ruyin needs to comprehend the formation for hundreds of years before she can fully comprehend it, it will be too late even if she sets it up by then.

This kind of formation that can make spiritual energy more concentrated is naturally better if set up earlier, and its effect will be greater.

"My husband, do you want to use the Spirit Eye Tree in the cave as a formation to set up a complete Ten Thousand Trees Formation?" Xin Ruyin looked serious and spoke solemnly.

"That's right." Nie Zhaonan nodded. "The Spirit Eye Tree can produce pure spiritual energy. If we use ten thousand Spirit Eye Trees as the center of the formation and set up the Ten Thousand Trees Formation, the spiritual energy in the formation will definitely reach a very shocking level in a short period of time."

Xin Ruyin's beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and after thinking for a while, she said:
"It is not easy to connect 10,000 array points to each other and make them linked. Even if I try to comprehend this array with all my heart, it will take me a hundred years to complete it."

The connection between the array eyes is not simply a matter of connecting them in rows. The position of each array eye must be adjusted according to specific directions, constantly changing rules, and fixed array patterns. Not to mention ten thousand array eyes. One can imagine how mysterious and complex it is.

"A hundred years? It's much faster than I expected." Nie Zhaonan relaxed and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"The scale of this Ten Thousand Trees Array is extremely large. I cannot set it up in a short period of time by myself. I will need my husband's help then." Xin Ruyin reminded.

"Of course." Nie Zhaonan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about the manpower. When you set up the Ten Thousand Trees Formation, your husband and all your sisters will come to help you. There are also my spirit beasts and gold-eating bugs. You don't have to worry about the problem of insufficient manpower."

As a spiritual insect beast, the gold-eating worm may not be very intelligent, but it can still execute some simple commands and complete them successfully.

"Well, this way I won't have any worries." Xin Ruyin said softly.

She was also looking forward to what the scene inside the cave would look like after the formation was set up.

Nie Zhaonan suddenly said, "By the way, can this Ten Thousand Trees Formation be further strengthened? After all, there are 90,000 Spirit Eye Trees in the cave. If all the Spirit Eye Trees can be used as the core of this formation, the power of the formation will be even stronger."

He dug out a total of 1 billion spirit stones from the top-grade spirit stone mine on Biling Island, 900 million of which were used to grow spirit eye trees, totaling 90,000 trees.

Over the past few decades, the Spirit Eye Tree has continuously spewed out pure spiritual energy. Now, in the cave which is a thousand miles in radius and thousands of feet high, spiritual energy visible to the naked eye is floating everywhere.

The richness of the spiritual energy has far surpassed that of any other sacred mountain or spiritual vein in the human world.

Xin Ruyin shook her head slightly: "The arrangement method of the Ten Thousand Woods Array in this jade slip only has 10,000 array points at most. My husband thinks that even if I have thoroughly understood this array, I am still powerless."

After a pause, Xin Ruyin changed the subject and said:

"However, as long as my attainments in formations have reached a certain level, it is not impossible to add more formation points to strengthen the Ten Thousand Trees Formation. But I don't know how long it will take to reach that level."

With Xin Ruyin, a master of formations, as his Taoist companion, he really found a treasure. Nie Zhaonan was slightly delighted and comforted him:
"Don't worry. I have confidence in you. If you can set up the Reversed Five Elements Formation when you are in the Qi Refining Stage, it shows how advanced you are in formation techniques. Moreover, you are now in the Nascent Soul stage and have a long life span. You have enough time to study formation techniques. Sooner or later, your attainments in formation techniques will reach that level."

"Yeah." Xin Ruyin nodded. She also had confidence in herself.

"You have been in seclusion for so long, let me take you to take a bath so that you can relax." As he said that, Nie Zhaonan picked up her round yet tight thighs, put his arm around her jade-like shoulders, and carried her horizontally.

Xin Ruyin wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head in his solid chest:
"My husband, you just want to take advantage of me."

"Don't want to?" With the beauty in his arms, Nie Zhaonan walked with big strides.

"I'm willing." Xin Ruyin's red lips opened and closed slightly, her voice soft and subtle.

Soon, Nie Zhaonan carried Xin Ruyin to the edge of Linghu Lake and jumped in without hesitation.

The spiritual water splashed, and the crystal water droplets fell on the blooming lotus, and the petals trembled gently.

The lake gradually lost its calmness, ripples appeared and the water sounded.

Nie Zhaonan's hands moved gently, his fingertips lightly sliding across Xin Ruyin's skin, washing away the non-existent dirt for her.

For Xin Ruyin, who has reached the Nascent Soul stage, even when she is in seclusion, there is a layer of protective aura on her body. Even the tiniest dust falling on her cannot stay on her.

However, on the other hand, his movements were clean and neat.

Inside the cave, time seemed to have lost its meaning, the sun and moon had no light, and it was difficult to distinguish between day and night.

Everything else was fine, but Xin Ruyin couldn't stand Nie Zhaonan's direct gaze.

Xin Ruyin gently raised her jade arm, and water droplets slid down her delicate skin and dripped into the lake, making a crisp "da da" sound.

She reached out and plucked a lotus bud, placing it beneath her belly, with the petals slightly covering it.

He could only vaguely see the arc that was more rounded and graceful than a work of art, but Nie Zhaonan looked at it even more enthusiastically. This feeling of being able to see the whole picture but not being able to see it was really nice.

"Husband, you haven't seen enough." Xin Ruyin couldn't help but speak, her voice was shy and a little hoarse.

"It's beautiful, and I can't get enough of looking at it." Nie Zhaonan curled the corners of his mouth and said with a wicked smile.

"Hmph." Xin Ruyin snorted and ignored him. She had already covered it up anyway.

After watching for a while, Nie Zhaonan withdrew his gaze. No matter how much he watched, he didn't feel like he was personally involved in the battle.

After calming down for a moment, Nie Zhaonan casually said:

"We have now arrived in Dajin, and the ancient Kunwu Immortal Mountain is about to be opened. Do you want to go out and gain some experience?"

After telling Xin Ruyin all the information about Kunwu Mountain, Nie Zhaonan also introduced the situation of the immortal world in Dajin, such as the ten major sects of righteousness and evil.

"No." Xin Ruyin was unmoved and refused without thinking.

"I'll just stay in the cave, and I need a quiet environment to comprehend the Ten Thousand Trees Array." Xin Ruyin explained.

She would never tell the real reason. She just wasn't interested in the outside world. She just liked staying in the Zixiao Cave.

It is safe in the cave, and there is no need to be on guard against possible dangers like in the outside world.

"Don't use the Ten Thousand Trees Array as an excuse. Even if you get out this time, you won't be able to stay in the outside world for a few years." Nie Zhaonan couldn't help but have a black line on his forehead.

Since entering the Zixiao Cave, Xin Ruyin has rarely gone out. There is no doubt that she is a stay-at-home girl.

Xin Ruyin felt a little nervous, but she remained calm on the surface and said seriously:
"But I want to comprehend the Ten Thousand Trees Formation. The Ten Thousand Trees Formation is so powerful, so I naturally have to set it up as soon as possible."

Nie Zhaonan had no way to refute, because he also wanted the Wanmu Formation to be completed as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Xin Ruyin opened her mouth and said a little more presumptuously:
"Because I have to concentrate on comprehending the Ten Thousand Trees Formation, I will not be able to practice in seclusion for the next hundred years."

"You have just advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul? Don't you want to practice anymore?" Nie Zhaonan was a little angry. "If other cultivators had a sufficient supply of elixirs like you, who wouldn't be happy to practice in seclusion and improve their magic power?"

"But you, are absolutely unwilling to practice." There was a sense of disappointment in his words.

"My husband, I am only over two hundred years old, but I have already reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. My progress is already very fast." Holding Nie Zhaonan's arm to her chest, Xin Ruyin shook him and said coquettishly.

Xin Ruyin naturally had no embarrassment in acting coquettishly in front of her husband. Besides, her sisters were not here, so she was not afraid of being found out.

Feeling the amazing touch on his arm, Nie Zhaonan remained unmoved:
"Look at your sister Song Yu. After she condensed her Nascent Soul, she only rested for a while before immediately entering the secret room for retreat. In a few years, when she comes out again, she will have advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul just like you."

"Husband~" Xin Ruyin shook his arm harder and hugged him tighter.

"Your other sisters have also reached the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. As long as the opportunity comes, they will immediately become late stage Nascent Soul cultivators. And you..."

Nie Zhaonan paused for a moment. Xin Ruyin was usually quite aloof, but now she was acting coquettishly without caring about anything. Nie Zhaonan couldn't resist and was afraid that he would become soft-hearted if he continued.
