Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 386 Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Jade
Nie Zhaonan just smiled and said nothing more. Could he still say that the stolen bottle of cold marrow was in his hands at this time?

However, thinking of the cold marrow, the refining of the Huiyang Water has to be put on the agenda. Nie Zhaonan has great expectations for the revival of the Xuantian Immortal Vine.

After all, the Xuantian Immortal Vine is a heaven-defying object that contains the laws of a world, and it can even grow into a Xuantian treasure.

As long as people know how powerful the Xuantian treasure is, no one can remain calm, not even Nie Zhaonan.

"Did you get your Sun Essence Fire from the Hellfire, senior?" Master Hanli was not an ordinary cultivator either. His mind was extremely firm and his expression soon returned to normal without any sign of abnormality.

"That's right." Nie Zhaonan did not hide anything and replied directly.

"It is true." Master Hanli sighed, "I have also gone to the Fire Prison several times to capture the Sun Essence Fire, but the Sun Essence Fire is too slippery. Whenever I show up, the Sun Essence Fire immediately escapes. In the Fire Prison filled with lava, there is no way to deal with it. It is really amazing that you, the senior, were able to capture this fire!"

"It's nothing. I just have the Taiyin True Fire as bait, which gives me some advantages. Otherwise, I don't know how long I will have to stay in the Fire Prison." Nie Zhaonan's mind moved, and he communicated with the Fairy Firebird on his shoulder. The Fairy Firebird let out a clear cry and spread its wings. The halo spun around and turned into a silver light curtain that covered Nie Zhaonan.

Master Hanli gave a bitter smile, then moved and floated down into the crack.

Palace Master Liu and Bai Yaoyi also cast spells, releasing their own cold flames and flew towards the crack.

Nie Zhaonan glanced at the pale golden side doors on both sides, and then followed under the protection of the fairy firebird.

As soon as he flew into the crack, a layer of milky white cold light swept over. As soon as it came into contact with the silver light curtain transformed by the fairy firebird, he was sucked into it, as if it was blending seamlessly with the light.

The silver light curtain just flashed a few times, and nothing else happened.

Nie Zhaonan's heart moved. The fairy firebird was formed by the fusion of yin and yang spiritual fire. It had the special effect of absorbing fire and cold air. This had been confirmed in the Fire Prison.

The cold air all around had to be treated with caution even by a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, but it could not cause any trouble to Nie Zhaonan at all. So Nie Zhaonan naturally looked around leisurely.

The so-called Xuanyu Cave is actually just an underground cave.

However, this cave was formed by a rare black jade vein. These strange materials, which are several times colder than ten thousand year old black ice, are the size of rice grains and are scattered on both sides of the cave, flashing a milky white cold light.

And as Nie Zhaonan went deeper, this milky white cold light became more and more dense, falling on the silver light curtain like rain hitting banana leaves.

But the silver light curtain transformed by the fairy firebird was so strange, as if there was no limit. It just absorbed the cold light all at once, as if there was no limit at all.

Soon, everyone reached the bottom of the cave. Nie Zhaonan looked around and saw a pile of rocks that was hundreds of feet wide.

As soon as Master Hanli landed on the ground, he immediately walked towards the wall of the cave. He did not forget to give Nie Zhaonan a piece of ten thousand year old black jade.

As he walked, he explained:

“These ten thousand year old black jades seem to be easy to take out, but in fact, every ten thousand year old black jade in the Black Jade Cave has been condensed into one by an unknown great magical power and the entire mineral vein.”

"In addition, after so many years of being refined by the cold air in the cave, the Ten Thousand Year Black Jade has become one with the mineral vein. Even if you have the most powerful treasure, you can't take it down. At most, it can only be destroyed, but it is impossible to take it out intact."

Nie Zhaonan naturally knew that what Master Hanli said was true, and he had no intention of trying it, so he just asked:

"Fellow Daoist Hanli, if you say so, does it mean that we need a special method to take down the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Jade?"

"Of course." Master Hanli nodded, slapped his storage bag with one hand, and a small white bottle appeared in his hand.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Master Hanli walked a few steps to the stone wall, opened the bottle cap deftly, and with a flash of white light on his hand, he used his magic power to force a drop of ink-black liquid out of the bottle.

The droplet emitted a faint gray gas and flew towards a bean-sized piece of thousand-year-old black jade on the wall of the cave.

As soon as he saw the drop of liquid, Nie Zhaonan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile, but soon his expression returned to normal.

At this time, everyone else was staring at the situation in front of them, but no one noticed Nie Zhaonan's abnormality.

As a result, as soon as the liquid droplet touched the black jade, it disappeared in a flash like mud flowing into the sea.

The black jade was instantly covered with a layer of gray, and then it made a crisp sound and fell off the stone wall by itself and was grabbed by Master Hanli.

Master Hanli explained with a smile:
"In the past, the founder of this palace left behind a treasure that can gather the Yin energy of the earth. After ten years, it gathers into a drop of Yin water, which can turn rocks into gold. It is extremely magical. Only with this water can the black jade in the cave be taken out safely. Therefore, this palace only opens the Black Jade Cave once every thousand years, and each time only a small amount of black jade can be taken out."

Palace Master Liu also smiled and slowly said:

"It is precisely because of this restriction that I would not allow so many ten thousand year old black jades to remain unused here."

"If I can take them all out and refine them into magic weapons, my strength will be no worse than Taiyi Sect overnight."

"It's not impossible to take them all out." Nie Zhaonan chuckled and suddenly said this.

"All of them!" The three of Master Hanli couldn't help but look at each other. They saw the surprise and strong doubt in each other's eyes.

“Even if Senior Nie has special means, it will still cost a lot to take out the Ten Thousand Year Black Jade. It will be very difficult to take it all out.” Palace Master Liu had a look of surprise on his face, his heart was in turmoil.

"Impossible! Even a Jindan cultivator doesn't have such great magical power that he can take out the ten thousand year old black jade as easily as Yin water!" Bai Yaoyi and Master Hanli looked at Nie Zhaonan with surprise, and secretly guessed at the same time.

They absolutely dared not believe what Nie Zhaonan said. After all, this Xuanyu Cave was refined by Patriarch Bingpo using his great supernatural powers. It was extremely hard. Even a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage could not leave any trace in the cave.

"Nie is not so idle as to joke with the three Taoist friends, but it is impossible for me to help you retrieve the ten thousand year old black jade for nothing." Seeing that Master Hanli and the other two still looked unconvinced, Nie Zhaonan did not show any displeasure on his face, but just said with a smile.

Hearing Nie Zhaonan's serious tone, Master Hanli no longer had any doubts, "Of course, we will never let you get nothing, so I will use the ten thousand year old black jade as a reward, are you satisfied?" Master Hanli also knew that there were not many things in their Xiaoji Palace that Nie Zhaonan would like. Apart from the two imitation spiritual treasures, there was only the ten thousand year old black jade in the Xuanyu Cave.

The fact that Nie Zhaonan offered to help also proved that Nie Zhaonan was indeed quite interested in the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Jade.

However, all this was just his guess, and he couldn't be 100% sure about Nie Zhaonan's specific purpose.

Under Master Hanli's somewhat uneasy gaze, Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly.

Although Nie Zhaonan had no use for the Ten Thousand Year Black Jade, it was, after all, an extremely high-grade ice-attribute material and was extremely rare. Naturally, there was no reason for Nie Zhaonan to refuse it.

What's more, he himself couldn't use it, but Bingfeng needed it. It would be a good idea to give it to Bingfeng as a gift.

After all, although there was no intimate connection between them, there was physical intimacy.

Bingfeng is also his woman at this time. Naturally, Nie Zhaonan would not be stingy with his woman.

"Okay, senior, please wait for a moment and let us discuss something." After Master Hanli said this to Nie Zhaonan, he started to communicate with Palace Master Liu and Bai Yaoyi through voice transmission.

"Junior Sister Liu, how much Xuanyu do you think should be handed over?" asked Master Hanli.

"It's hard to say. Senior Nie didn't mention what price he would have to pay to take out the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Jade, and we can't estimate a suitable number. Junior Sister Bai, you have spent some time with Senior Nie, so you should know something about him." Palace Master Liu's voice was full of hesitation, and she was undecided. Instead, she asked Bai Yaoyi, who knew Nie Zhaonan, to hear her opinion.

"Senior Nie and I are just a simple acquaintance. We can't say we have any friendship, let alone know much about each other." When it comes to the top-notch refining material such as the Ten Thousand Year Black Jade, it's not just a little bit, so Bai Yaoyi didn't dare to say anything more.

"Alas, this is indeed a difficult matter." Master Hanli sighed.

"No matter what, even if we suffer some losses and pay more Xuanyu, we must make Senior Nie satisfied." Palace Master Liu said helplessly.

“Indeed.”

The next three people started discussing the specific number. During the discussion, Palace Master Liu and Master Hanli, two late-stage great cultivators, were mostly involved in the negotiations, while Bai Yaoyi was just offering auxiliary opinions on the side.

Master Hanli and the other two communicated with each other in front of Nie Zhaonan. It was unknown for what purpose, and they did not intend to release the forbidden light curtain to cover up. They just talked in a very open manner.

With Nie Zhaonan's powerful spiritual sense, he naturally heard all the conversations of the three people.

Nie Zhaonan didn't believe that Master Hanli and the other two didn't think of this, but he also guessed their purpose. He just smiled and waited quietly by the side.

The three of them communicated very quickly through voice transmission. Finally, Master Hanli glanced at Nie Zhaonan's expression inadvertently, and after seeing that his expression remained unchanged, he finally ended the conversation.

"It seems that Nie Zhaonan also agreed." Master Hanli felt relieved and thought silently.

At the beginning, they had a plan. They wanted Nie Zhaonan to hear their telepathic communication and determine how many Xuanyu to give based on Nie Zhaonan's reaction.

This can be considered a disguised form of bargaining, and it will also prevent the two parties from having a direct conflict.

"Senior Nie, our Xiaoji Palace is willing to give 30% of the Xuanyu as compensation. What do you think?" Even though he knew that Nie Zhaonan had heard it, Palace Master Liu still asked another question.

"Thirty percent is enough." Hearing that it was indeed this number, Nie Zhaonan nodded without objection.

There are countless Yin waters in the Yinming Land, but they are just ordinary things. Apart from being used to take out the Xuanyu in this cave, they have no other use. They can neither be used to refine tools nor as materials for alchemy. By exchanging them for 30% of the Xuanyu, Nie Zhaonan naturally did not suffer any loss in this transaction, but got a great deal.

As the three people were watching, Nie Zhaonan stretched out his hand and flicked towards the void. A half-meter-tall jar appeared silently and hovered quietly in front of him.

The jar was grayish white in color and had no lid. It was a top-level magical weapon, but this did not attract the attention of Master Hanli and the other two at all. After a quick glance, the three of them looked at the mouth of the jar at the same time.

To be precise, it is the liquid inside.

Looking at the jar full of water, as black as ink and emitting a strong yin energy, it seemed so familiar because they had just seen it. It was the yin water that was used to remove the black jade.

"Yin Yin Water, there is so much of it!" Bai Yaoyi covered her mouth with her eyes wide open.

With just a rough glance, one can calculate that there are more than ten thousand drops of Yin water in this jar, perhaps even tens of thousands of drops.

Although the black jade in the Xuanyu Cave is densely packed throughout the cave, it cannot use up all the Yin water.

Palace Master Liu and Master Hanli were so surprised that they were speechless. They just looked at it silently, looking at the cheap vaginal fluid in front of them.

"The origin of these Yin waters is not simple. I got them by chance when I accidentally entered a strange and dangerous place. That dangerous place is extremely strange. When cultivators like me fall into it, it is as if we have entered another world. Our magic power can only be imprisoned in the body and cannot be used at all. We can only become mortals with no cultivation. Many Nascent Soul cultivators have died in it, and there are also ghosts such as Yin beasts." Nie Zhaonan explained the situation of the Yinming land at the right time.

"So that's how it is. Senior Nie found this Yin water so dangerous." Hearing that even Nie Zhaonan was unwilling to enter such a dangerous place again, Palace Master Liu also had a clearer understanding of the dangers of the Yin and Ming land.

Master Hanli also heard the fear in Nie Zhaonan's words, and felt a little better. However, he still felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought about giving away 30% of the Xuanyu Cave's Xuanyu.

Bai Yaoyi's eyes lit up when she heard this, with stars in them, and she would glance at Nie Zhaonan unintentionally from time to time.

"Sure enough, Senior Nie's strength was not gained in vain. He has such experience and was able to escape from such a desperate situation." Bai Yaoyi was very uneasy in her heart. She thought secretly, and at the same time, she felt ashamed of herself.

"It seems that all the Yin water will not be enough to take out the Xuanyu from the Xuanyu Cave. I wonder if you could give us the remaining ones. After all, even if we take out all the Xuanyu from the Xuanyu Cave this time, with the Xuanyu ore veins, this cave will still produce Xuanyu that is thousands of years old." Palace Master Liu opened her mouth slowly and softly, with some request in her voice.
