Chapter 308: Purple Mansion Yuhua Immortal Cave

Seeing that Zhang Nuo and Chunyangzi had strange expressions on their faces, Jian Moli was so frightened he shuddered. It was not that he feared these two, but under the pressure of the "Hell Butterfly," any expression the other party made would make him think of the sight of his soul being devoured by this butterfly.

"Then how did you escape to this place?"

Chunyangzi looked at the layout of the Cave Abode and asked Jian Moli with a hint of surprise.

"Before several True Immortals descended to the world, I had already cultivated a secret Cave Abode here. It is connected to a Spirit Vein, and the density of the Spiritual Qi back then was enough for me to charge toward the Integration Late Stage! Just as the disaster occurred, I forcibly broke into this place, and I don't know what happened afterward! After tens of thousands of years, I saw you two!"

A crafty rabbit has three burrows; it seems this Jian Moli was not a simple character back in the day! Zhang Nuo and Chunyangzi looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they both saw a kind of malicious smile!

"Senior Jian! Since you are the Sect Leader of Yuhua Immortal Mountain, you should know the location of the Purple Mansion Yuhua Cave! I wonder if you could tell us?"

Just now, Zhang Nuo and Chunyangzi had thought of a problem at the same time: Yuhua Immortal Mountain was closer than the location of the mysterious cultivator ancestor's Xian Mountain, and since the Sect Leader of that time was here, they could ask about the method to open the Restriction! The two reached a tacit understanding in an instant.

Jian Moli's gaze flickered; it seemed that having exposed his identity just now, the subsequent events followed one after another. He gave a cold laugh, glanced at Zhang Nuo, and said in a deep voice:

"It is fine to let me tell you the location of the Purple Mansion Immortal Cave, but you must agree to one condition, otherwise, even if I have to risk my body and soul being destroyed, I will not tell you!"

Zhang Nuo just nodded slightly. This move by Jian Moli was already within his expectations; the other party was no small fry and could not easily reveal such an important secret; he would definitely propose conditions.

Seeing Zhang Nuo agree, Jian Moli finally let out a long breath and said:

"My condition is very simple. As long as you can bring me out of here safely and help me find a physical body that can be used for Possession, I will truthfully tell you the location of the Purple Mansion Immortal Cave and the method to break the Restriction!"

It was just as Zhang Nuo had estimated; the white-clothed old man really did propose such a request. However, he was not a three-year-old child; if the other party tried to trick them, both he and Chunyangzi would be in danger!

Ignoring Jian Moli's request, Zhang Nuo turned his head instead and said to Chunyangzi:

"Senior, I wonder if you can perform the 'Soul Searching Technique'?"

A seemingly plain sentence made Jian Moli's head buzz. The Soul Searching Technique was not unfamiliar to him. Now that he had no physical body and was only a soul, if he were hit by the Soul Searching Technique, he would definitely have no chance of survival!

"You..."

Pointing a finger at Zhang Nuo with one hand, the old man was so angry he was beside himself. This kid opposite him looked honest and steady, but he didn't expect him to be full of bad intentions!

Chunyangzi had been with Zhang Nuo for a long time, so he knew what he meant as soon as he heard it. Although he could not perform the Soul Searching Technique at all in this state, he still pretended he could and nodded lightly! This made Jian Moli even more afraid! His blurry figure became a few shades paler.

"Senior Jian, setting conditions also requires both parties to be on equal footing! Do you still have the capital to set conditions now?"

With a movement of his Divine Sense, the Hell Butterfly in front of Zhang Nuo flapped its wings several times in succession, and a mournful butterfly cry rang out!

"Just by relying on you, you can perform Soul Search on me?"

Jian Moli was so angry he almost rolled his eyes. It was truly a case of a tiger falling into the flatlands and being bullied by dogs; he never thought that a dignified Integration Middle Stage cultivator back then would fall to this state today!

"Whether I can or not, you'll know if you try!"

Chunyangzi smiled, and with a wave of his hand, the Nine Dragon Sword Case flew out from Zhang Nuo's body. A dragon carving on the surface leaped out, its mouth slightly open, and a ball of pure Spiritual Qi was being spat out and inhaled in its mouth! After finishing all this, he immediately said to Jian Moli:

"As for Spiritual Qi, I have as much as I want! Do you really think I'm afraid of not being able to search your mere soul body?"

At this moment, Zhang Nuo raised his right hand, a bloodstain split open in his palm, and a green sprout several inches long grew out. At the same time, a massive force of life origin leaked out.

"And there is a continuous supply of life origin force! Senior Jian, do you think it's impossible?"

Jian Moli had a feeling of wanting to go crazy. Who exactly was this young kid in front of him? He actually had so many secrets on him!

"I'll give you three counts of time to consider! As long as you tell me the location of Yuhua Immortal Mountain first, I will take you out of here and help you find a physical body suitable for Possession. If you don't say it, I'm afraid you won't have a chance later! One!"

Zhang Nuo kept applying pressure to the other party and began to count. Jian Moli's eyes were almost spitting fire; if it weren't for the restraint of the Hell Butterfly, he would have already killed the kid in front of him.

"Three!"

Just as he was desperately thinking of a countermeasure, Zhang Nuo counted to three all at once!

"Didn't you say three counts? Why did you count directly to three?"

"Sorry! I counted two to myself!"

Zhang Nuo smiled maliciously and said faintly. Jian Moli had a feeling of being played; the other party was clearly doing this on purpose, not leaving him any time to think!

Chunyangzi was also prepared for battle at this time; these were just for show, the only one who would truly strike was the Hell Butterfly!

"Go!"

Seeing that Jian Moli still wouldn't speak, Zhang Nuo coldly spat out the word "go," and the black butterfly wrapped in silver flames immediately rushed toward him.

Zhang Nuo understood that people like Jian Moli belonged to the type who wouldn't shed tears until they saw the coffin; dragging it out any longer would only make him more stubborn.

"Wait!"

As soon as he saw the "Hell Butterfly" really flying toward him, Jian Moli shouted in fear. If his soul body were really devoured by the Hell Butterfly, he would have no chance at all!

"Have you figured it out?"

Chunyangzi's expression relaxed; it seems that no matter how high one's cultivation is, one is ultimately afraid of death!

"I can agree to tell you the location of the Purple Mansion Immortal Cave first, but how can I trust your words? What if you get the specific location of the Cave Abode and then kill me!"

"You have no other choice!"

Before Chunyangzi could speak, Zhang Nuo's face turned cold, and he said sternly.

"You..."

Jian Moli once again learned of Zhang Nuo's overbearing nature. He suddenly calmed down, and a slight smile appeared on his aged face as he said:

"Forget it! That I, Jian Moli, can survive until today can be considered lucky; I have suffered enough in these years! At worst, the three of us will perish together!"

At the same time he said that last sentence, Jian Moli's expression changed drastically. As soon as the fierce and angry expression appeared, his whole person turned into a ray of spiritual light and rushed toward the purple pill furnace in the center of the hall! Although Chunyangzi and Zhang Nuo did not know exactly what he wanted to do, a person who had reported a determination to die would certainly not do anything good!

Zhang Nuo moved his Divine Sense, and the "Hell Butterfly" turned into a black light and chased after him. At the same time, the "Pure Underworld Divine Tree" in his right hand grew rapidly and wrapped the purple pill furnace inside it in one go. Because Zhang Nuo was relatively close to the pill furnace, and the growth speed of the Divine Tree was fast.

So by the time Jian Moli flew near the pill furnace, what appeared before his eyes was a patch of green branches and leaves! Seeing that one plan failed, he just wanted to use other methods, but it was already too late. The black light transformed by the Hell Butterfly arrived behind him in a flash, and then as the suction force rose, Jian Moli's soul floated toward the mouth of the Hell Butterfly!

"I will not let you off!"

The shrill roar grew smaller bit by bit and finally disappeared completely. The Hell Butterfly then moved its body and merged into Zhang Nuo's body.

"You don't even have a chance at reincarnation, what are you talking about revenge for!"

Zhang Nuo put away the Magic Treasure and said disdainfully.

"Kid Zhang, you were too hasty! You killed him, where are we going to ask about Yuhua Immortal Mountain?"

"Senior, if we don't kill him, I'm afraid none of us will be able to walk out of here. Look at what is under the purple pill furnace?"

Appearing very calm, Zhang Nuo was not dejected because he had lost the whereabouts of the Xian Mountain.

Hearing this, Chunyangzi was somewhat suspicious; he slowly walked to the front of the alchemy furnace and looked inside along one of its corners, only to see raging flames within, as if countless fire snakes were slithering about! The scorching flames made even Chunyangzi, who had played with fire his entire life, gasp in succession!

"This is the Earth Fire Spirit! No wonder he rushed toward this furnace just now; if not for the suppression of this furnace, once the Earth Fire Spirit broke out, everything here would be reduced to ashes!"

The Earth Fire Spirit is a type of extremely rigid and yang flame from deep underground, whose high temperature can melt thousand-year-old ice; generally, powerful cultivators will draw upon the Earth Fire Spirit as the best fire source for alchemy! However, if this fire is used well, it can guarantee the quality of the Pill, but once a mistake is made, even the alchemist will be instantly incinerated!

Zhang Nuo had already observed the difference in the alchemy furnace when he first entered, so the moment he saw Jian Moli rush toward the furnace, he immediately understood what the other party wanted to do! For someone who has already resolved to die, even if a survivor is left behind, it would only add trouble for himself!

"It's a good thing you were sharp enough!"

Chunyangzi gave a shamed smile; he hadn't even noticed this point, and if Zhang Nuo hadn't acted in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"Senior, it is merely a Purple Mansion Immortal Cave, there is no need to take it to heart at all; the Spiritual Qi here is also very dense, so I might as well cultivate here! I will go out to search once I reach the Golden Core Late Stage!"

Matters having reached this point, there was no other way, so Chunyangzi had no choice but to nod in agreement; furthermore, there were many valuable things here that needed him to excavate! He could just use the time Zhang Nuo spent cultivating here to prepare some necessary items!

After the two discussed it, Zhang Nuo tidied up the remains of Jian Moli on the Putan and placed them in a corner, then sat cross-legged upon it. He brought out the Nine Dragon Sword Case and let it absorb the Spiritual Qi here! The breakthrough to the Golden Core Late Stage officially began!

Chunyangzi, on the other hand, had nothing to do, so he inspected the items in the Cave Abode one by one; in the process, he discovered something, and his eyes immediately lit up!
