Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 439 Myriad Scale Pill

After that, the two exchanged a few more words telepathically, and then said nothing more.

Time passed slowly, and after most of the day, Nie Zhaonan finally opened his eyes again and exhaled a long breath.

"Haha, having received the inheritance of the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique, you can now be considered a true core member of my True Dragon Clan. If you need anything, feel free to come to me." The Golden Dragon Elder narrowed his eyes, a look of satisfaction appearing in his gaze as he looked at Nie Zhaonan.

"Thank you very much, Elder Jinlong," Nie Zhaonan said respectfully.

Having received the complete inheritance of the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique, he understood the meaning of Elder Golden Dragon's words without needing any explanation from others.

The Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique is a cultivation method tailor-made for true dragons. By cultivating this technique and reaching increasingly profound levels, even a human cultivator can cultivate a true dragon body and become a true dragon.

For the rest of the time, Nie Zhaonan did not talk much with Elder Jinlong. After exchanging a few polite words, he bid farewell and left with Master Yue Li.

"The power of the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique is beyond my comprehension, but the difficulty of cultivating this technique is unimaginable. I have only managed to cultivate it to the second level. However, with my cultivation experience, I can guide you more than enough. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." He spoke earnestly, word by word, from within the crystal-blue light.

"This disciple understands." Nie Zhaonan nodded, then asked:

"I wonder if some spiritual items that are highly effective for body tempering are also effective for cultivating the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique?"

"Besides the legendary miraculous spiritual objects and pills, the only thing that can assist in cultivating the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique is the Dragon Scale Fruit. However, the Dragon Scale Fruit is just a relatively ordinary spiritual fruit, and its medicinal effects are too weak. Taking this spiritual fruit to assist in cultivation is not very effective; it's better than nothing." Yue Li shook her head slightly and explained softly.

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhaonan looked enlightened and said:
"The Dragon Scale Fruit can aid in the cultivation of the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique? No wonder Master planted the Dragon Scale Fruit tree in the most central location of the medicine garden."

"That little bit of Dragon Scale Fruit is of little use to me now, you may take it as you please," Yue Li said, her voice still melodious.

"Thank you very much, Master." Nie Zhaonan said with deep gratitude.

Master also cultivates the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique, and the Dragon Scale Fruit is the only spiritual object in Master's possession that can help cultivate this technique. But to give it to him without even thinking about it is a bit too kind of him.

Nie Zhaonan was overjoyed, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind:
"I never imagined that the Dragon Scale Fruit would have this effect. No wonder Jin Ling said that Elder Jin Long likes to take this spiritual fruit."

"It seems that the Dragon Scale Fruit Forest in the cave is not enough, and we need to ripen more of them. The medicinal effects of Dragon Scale Fruit are weak, so we can make up for it with quantity. Anyway, with the Purple Cloud Cave, it is not difficult to ripen as many Dragon Scale Fruits as we want."

"As for my master, I'll wait until my cultivation surpasses hers before giving her the Dragon Scale Fruit. That would be safer." His gaze fell on the graceful figure in front of him.

At the same time, Nie Zhaonan made a thought and connected with the Purple Cloud Cave Heaven.

The earth-armored dragon, which had been fast asleep in its cave, suddenly stopped snoring, twitched its ears a few times, and then abruptly got up and headed towards the spirit field.

"To ripen dragon scale fruit trees."

The instruction came to mind. Although he didn't understand the reason, as a spirit beast, he naturally had no doubts and obeyed his master's orders without question. At the same time, he also remembered to inform Xiao Jiu, Ti Hun, Blood Jade Spider, and Gold Devouring Insect.

Without needing to distract Nie Zhaonan, the master, the group of spirit beasts began working diligently to ripen the dragon scale fruit tree.

"Does Master have any pill formulas that use Dragon Scale Fruit as the main ingredient?" Nie Zhaonan suddenly asked, a thought popping into his head.

The effect of a single Dragon Scale Fruit is indeed weak, but if it is refined into a pill, its medicinal power will certainly be greatly enhanced.

“That’s natural,” Yue Li said softly as her escape light stopped, flicked her jade sleeve, and a jade slip of emerald green slowly flew out.

"'Ten Thousand Scales Pill' - This pill formula was created by a master alchemist in our clan's history who had refined immortal pills. To refine this pill, one needs to collect at least ten thousand dragon scale fruits. The more fruits one has, the stronger the medicinal effect of the Ten Thousand Scales Pill will be."

Nie Zhaonan raised his hand and grabbed the emerald jade slip with his five fingers. He saw that the surface of the slip was indeed inscribed with the three large characters "Wanlin Dan" in a flamboyant style. He then flipped his hand and put the Wanlin Dan away.

Judging from the number of dragon scale fruit trees in the herb garden, it would not be an easy task for his master to collect ten thousand dragon scale fruits, but for him, it was not difficult at all, and was even extremely easy.

“Cultivating the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique is not like having a plentiful supply of pills to continuously enhance your magical power and rapidly improve your realm. You cannot be too hasty. The fact that you have been able to cultivate the first revolution to perfection within three thousand years is already considered a rapid advancement,” Yue Li solemnly reminded her.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, she had learned a bit about her disciple's cultivation path. He had been taking all sorts of elixirs and medicines, and his cultivation speed was incredibly fast. She probably hadn't experienced much long periods of meditation and arduous cultivation.

Being too eager for quick results can easily lead to an unstable state of mind, which will affect future spiritual practice.

Sensing the concern in his master's tone, Nie Zhaonan nodded solemnly and said:
"Disciple understands. In cultivation, disciple is very patient and will not develop a mental flaw due to prolonged lack of breakthrough."

Even his master, a practitioner of the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique, believed that if he could master the first revolution within three thousand years, his progress would be rapid. Nie Zhaonan immediately abandoned his idea of ​​taking large amounts of 'Ten Thousand Scale Pills' to quickly improve his cultivation technique.

After all, if he had reached the level of cultivation that other cultivators had taken thousands of years to achieve in just a few hundred years, even a fool could guess that there was a big problem; it would be too obvious.

Let's return to the Spirit Realm, where we are unaware of the secrets of the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique, and then focus on cultivating this technique.

"It's good that you understand." Yue Li nodded in satisfaction, as her disciple was quite obedient.

Then, the two of them naturally escaped together again, leaving two streaks of light in the air, and headed towards the location of the Dharma Hall to reunite with Yuan and his group of three.

In front of the main hall, the elders' voices as they exchanged experiences suddenly stopped. A middle-aged man with black dragon horns on his head and wearing a black robe with flame patterns descended step by step from mid-air.

"Candlelight, the competition is over, why are you here?" Cangming asked with a smile and some curiosity.

The other elders were also slightly taken aback, their faces showing confusion.

Everyone in the True Dragon Clan knows that Elder Candlelight has never paid attention to the clan's grand competition. For the past hundreds of thousands of years, he has been in seclusion in his cave, single-mindedly striving to break through to the Mahayana stage, without ever taking a single step outside.

But Yuan roughly guessed his intentions, and his gaze, which was neither smiling nor not smiling, fell on him, as if he were watching a good show.

Ignoring Yuan's undisguised gaze, Candlelight spoke calmly:

“Simply closing oneself off in seclusion is of no benefit to cultivation. I heard that someone has obtained the qualification to inherit the clan's secret cultivation technique, so I came here to see.”

Although he didn't believe that a mere human cultivator could inherit the cultivation techniques of his True Dragon Clan, he also considered that Nie Zhaonan was someone personally authorized by the Golden Dragon Elder, and there must be some secrets he didn't know about. Therefore, he came in person.

"Hehe." Seeing that Candlelight was still stubborn, Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, attracting some sidelong glances. "Hmph!" Candlelight didn't hold back, letting out a heavy snort, and sat down in a seat, closing her eyes to wait.

Anyone present could see that Zhu Huo and Yuan knew something they didn't.

However, a thought flashed through Cangming's mind, and he remembered that Zhu Huo had once forcibly seized Nie Zhaonan's Immortal Spirit Flame, but he didn't know what happened afterward.

Not long after, two streaks of light flashed across the sky at incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, the two figures landed one after the other on the elders' seat.

"How is it? Is everything going smoothly?" Yuan asked hurriedly, his gaze fixed on Nie Zhaonan.

"This junior has already inherited the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique," Nie Zhaonan replied calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into complete silence; you could hear a pin drop.

"Good, good, good!" Yuan slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, laughed heartily, and said "good" three times in a row. He was extremely excited, as if he himself had received the inheritance of the cultivation technique.

Bingfeng's face was full of joy, and her bright phoenix eyes were also full of joy.

Jin Ling's chubby little face stiffened, and she muttered to herself:

"So, from now on, I'll have to address Fellow Daoist Nie as 'Lord Nie'?"

"Congratulations, young friend! Congratulations, young friend!"

The elders were slightly startled, but after regaining their senses, they all stood up and thanked Nie Zhaonan.

Seeing that the True Dragon Clan elders, all at the Integration Stage, treated him, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, as an equal, Nie Zhaonan was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique could elevate his status to such a high level.

After realizing what had happened, Nie Zhaonan quickly responded politely, returning the greetings with all the elders, leaving no room for criticism.

Seeing that Nie Zhaonan showed no arrogance whatsoever, the elders' smiles widened, and they nodded happily.

But only one person, Elder Candlelight, draped in a robe of flames, remained seated with his eyes closed, his expression shifting and unsettling, as if he were pondering some troublesome matter.

But in the end, he made his decision. After letting out a heavy breath, he slowly opened his eyes, stood up, looked at Nie Zhaonan, and said calmly:

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Nie, on obtaining the inheritance of our clan's treasured cultivation technique. Fellow Daoist is now at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, and the breakthrough to the Void Refinement realm is just around the corner. There is no time to lose, so I will entrust this item to you first."

As he spoke, he suddenly flicked his sleeve, and with a "whoosh," a yellow ball of light the size of a head slowly flew out of his sleeve, heading straight for Nie Zhaonan as soon as it appeared.

Nie Zhaonan stared intently, and what came into view was a thick, earthy-yellow stone, emitting a faint yellow glow, with wisps of yellow electric arcs constantly flickering on its surface.

"Earth Divine Thunder!" With a look of delight, Nie Zhaonan raised his hand without thinking and grabbed the stone.

But the moment his palm touched the Earth Divine Lightning, it was as if a giant mountain was pressing down on him. Even Nie Zhaonan, who possessed immense strength, couldn't help but feel his hand sink and fall several inches down.

He quickly gathered his inner power to steady his hand and held the head-sized Earth Divine Thunder in his palm.

Nie Zhaonan activated the Taiyi Divine Thunder Technique, silently sensing its power, and exclaimed with joy:
"The Earth Divine Thunder is indeed exceptionally powerful!"

After withdrawing the Earthly Divine Thunder, he also clasped his hands in thanks towards the candlelight:

"Thank you Elder Candlelight for disregarding past grievances and sending out the Earth Divine Thunder."

In fact, it was Zhu Huo who had been relentlessly pursuing him, wanting to obtain his celestial firebird.

However, now that he had obtained the Earth Divine Thunder and all five elements of divine thunder had been gathered, Nie Zhaonan was in a great mood and was happy to give Elder Zhuhuo face in front of all the elders.

At the same time, he also wanted to resolve his entanglement with Elder Zhuhuo. After all, Zhuhuo's strength was still above Elder Yuan's, and it would be unpleasant to have someone like that on one's mind.

"Hahaha, just don't forget to refine my 'Nine Tribulations Nirvana Pill'. If you use up all three Heart-Protecting Dragon Scales and still haven't refined this pill, you'll have to hand over your Immortal Spirit Fire to this elder." Candlelight laughed heartily, all the gloom in his heart vanishing.

Nie Zhaonan's tactful manner was exactly what he wanted.

The fact that he was able to obtain the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique proves that his potential and future strength are definitely above his.

Although such a person's current strength is insignificant compared to his, he is still someone who receives great attention from Elder Jinlong. Making an enemy of him would certainly not be a wise move.

Although the Celestial Firebird was extremely important to him and could greatly accelerate his comprehension of the laws, he had no choice but to give it up after weighing the pros and cons.

"This junior will certainly offer the elixir that the elder needs with both hands. If I cannot, then I will naturally grant the elder's wish." Nie Zhaonan's expression shifted, and he spoke without hesitation.

He was also a shrewd man, and upon hearing about the candlelight, he couldn't help but mention the celestial firebird. He knew perfectly well that what the fire truly desired was this flame.

However, he was full of confidence in himself. Although refining the 'Nine Tribulations Nirvana Pill' was difficult, it was not an impossible task.

Moreover, after advancing to the Void Refinement stage, his strength increased significantly, which also provided considerable assistance in alchemy.

"Alright." The candlelight nodded, showing no intention of lingering. It immediately transformed into a flame and shot into the sky without the slightest hesitation.

"Nine Tribulations Nirvana Pill, three Heart-Protecting Dragon Scales, Cangming really has the heart to be ruthless and patient. I didn't even hear a whisper of it before." Cangming clicked his tongue as he watched Cangming disappear into the sky.

"The Great Ascension stage is a major bottleneck, so paying a price for it is perfectly normal. However, I still can't bring myself to pluck the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale to refine the Nine Tribulations Nirvana Pill," Yuan sighed softly.

Although he had never experienced the process of removing the protective dragon scales, he had read about it in ancient texts, and the pain involved was even more terrifying than death.
