Chapter 0009: Ethereal Immortal Heart Technique
I, along with my aunt, manage... well! Hearing that my younger brother is giving me so much wealth to manage, Nie Xiaofeng's face flushed with excitement; in all my years, I have never seen so much money!
If this is truly the case, even if she is not scared to death, she will likely be treated as a guinea pig by others and taken out for research
Sitting in the carriage, Nie Yun saw her sister filled with confusion but unable to express it, and she herself found it difficult to speak; after all, how could she say that she was now reborn
"Which cultivation method is suitable for me? How could you possess a cultivation method outside of the family?" Nie Xiaofeng looked utterly perplexed
"Not bad, let's go!" After saying this, Nie Yun turned around and instructed, "Nie Liu, go prepare a carriage and bring over twenty thousand taels of silver, I need to use it!"
Alas! Seeing her sister like this, Nie Yun couldn't help but sigh and shake her head. "You should focus on cultivating according to the requirements of the technique. By the way, you and mother should take charge of this money. Our branch has been in decline for such a long time; it is time for us to rise again!"
Alright, this afternoon I will gather all the medicinal materials and go to the Nie Tian branch to find you! Regardless of whether it can be opened or not, I, Feng Xiao, owe you a personal favor!
At first, Nie Xiaofeng did not pay much attention, but when she saw the shiny silver laid out before her, she was suddenly taken aback
At this moment, Nie Xiaofeng in the private room had her hands crossed, feeling anxious about how her brother would scold her
Although he very much wanted to obtain the means to repair his father's energy center without the need for herbs, if he were to act too impulsively, it could backfire and have the opposite effect
"Noble Grade Cultivation Method?" Upon hearing her sister's confusion, Nie Yun wore a strange expression, but soon smiled and said, "You can think of it that way! As long as you cultivate diligently, your improvement in strength will definitely not be slow!"
What on earth is going on here
"Is it necessary to go back to the branch? No need, although fifteen thousand taels is a bit less, it will have to suffice for now," Nie Yun casually remarked
At that moment, hearing the young man say he could help unlock the bloodline factor, the shock in my heart was unimaginable. Taking a deep breath, I suppressed my excitement and said, "If you can help me unlock the bloodline factor, I would not only be willing to give you a herb, but even if it means following your orders and becoming your subordinate in the future, I would have no objections!"
Hehe, you can choose not to believe it! Although a single herb is precious, I am not injured right now, so it doesn't matter whether I have it or not!" Nie Yun casually waved his hand, retreating to advance.
After a while, Nie Xiaofeng listened to her brother recounting the cultivation techniques, her face filled with shock, unable to believe it
These medicinal herbs are quite peculiar; those who do not practice alchemy and are unfamiliar with the required herbs cannot even remember their names. The young man spoke of them casually, which clearly indicates his understanding of elixirs.
The medicinal materials mentioned by Nie Yun are precisely what is needed to refine the pure Yang attribute elixir, "Lihuo Dan," and it also includes a considerable amount of materials for refining the "Huanxin Dan"
fifteen thousand taels
Do not worry about the origin of the cultivation method, it will definitely not cause any trouble. Now listen carefully to what I am about to say..." Nie Yun interrupted his sister's question and continued, "This cultivation method is called the [Misty Immortal Heart Technique]..."
However, every time such a technique emerges, it causes a storm of bloodshed in Luoshui City. How could my younger brother...?
For six years, my family and I have sought countless individuals for assistance, yet we have found nothing. The ultimate conclusion has been that the genetic factors are inherently blocked and beyond remedy. However, this young man, who appears to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, claims he can help me unlock it. If I had not just witnessed his miraculous disguise and unparalleled intelligence, I would likely have dismissed him as a madman.
It seems that the ability to activate the bloodline factor is of utmost importance to him, and he does not wish to delay even for a moment
Let's talk about it later
Thank you very much, Brother Feng! Nie Yun just called him "Young Master Feng" earlier, and now he is calling him "Brother Feng"; the relationship between the two has already become closer
By the way, he just used disguise. When did he learn the art of disguise? I have never heard of it before
Feng Xiao's inability to activate the bloodline factor is like a thorn in his throat, like a bramble on his back. As long as the day has not ended, he will endure another day of ridicule from others. This humiliation has long been unbearable!
The younger brother of the past, although he also worked hard, carried a sense of inferiority deep within due to his uncle's influence. However, the present him exudes a calm demeanor, and his every gesture is different. Has he changed?
"Since I dare to speak, I naturally have confidence!" Ignoring the other party's somewhat angry tone, Nie Yun said.
Twenty thousand taels? All the industries of our branch combined only amount to thirty thousand taels, and this restaurant only costs fifteen thousand taels. How about I go back to the branch and get it for you..." Earlier, when they were in the room, Nie Liu had said something to Nie Yun. At this moment, the young wife, looking like someone who had been wronged, spoke with a face full of bitterness.
Sister, your constitution is rather weak, and your progress in cultivating the family techniques is slow. I have a set of techniques that are suitable for you. Since you have some free time now, let me explain them to you
Jibei City, known as the third greatest alchemy master of the Divine Wind Empire, possesses unparalleled alchemical skills. Even Feng Xiao, after consulting him, received answers that could not be unlocked. Yet the young man before him claims to be confident, leaving him in disbelief
The carriage moved swiftly, with Nie Liu personally handling the reins. Before long, they returned to the branch. Just as they entered the courtyard, a commotion was heard from within. The old steward, Nie Chong, rushed over, and upon seeing Nie Yun, his face was filled with anxiety. "Not good, young master, the lady... has gone to Xialuo Mountain with the people from the Nie Zhang branch to gather the fragrant snow lotus. They have already been gone for most of the day!"
In an instant, Nie Xiaofeng suddenly felt that she could no longer understand this younger brother, who had been by her side day and night.
Since I have no path left to take, I might as well trust him once; perhaps there will be a turning point
He could name these medicinal herbs, and Feng Xiao secretly believed in it to some extent
When I came over to borrow 10,000, Nie Liu was hesitant and reluctant. But when my younger brother casually asked for 15,000, he didn't dare to say a word and directly handed it over
Since Young Master Feng Xiao believes, I shall not speak any further nonsense. You are to prepare one hundred-year-old Yuanyang grass, two fifty-year-old Qingsong flowers, and two thirty-year-old Zigui roots... The age of these medicinal materials must be sufficient, and do not mix them up with inferior ones!
Farewell! Feng Xiao Yi cupped his fists in salute, turned, and walked out. Before long, a series of hoofbeats could be heard outside the tavern, gradually fading into the distance
Upon seeing Nie Yun enter the room, Nie Xiaofeng immediately began to recite the prepared words in a continuous stream. However, after only saying one sentence, she noticed that her brother did not blame her; instead, he wore a smile on his face, which caused her to abruptly stop, looking quite perplexed.
Of course, Nie Yun would not speak of it, after all, such a technique does not even exist in Luoshui City, and if it were to be leaked, it would cause great trouble
Younger brother, I was wrong, I should not have kept this from you... Hmm? Return home?
The Ethereal Immortal Heart Technique is the most essential cultivation method of the Linglong Immortal Sect, which Nie Yun belonged to in his previous life. Although its power is not as great as his own Nine Transformations Nirvana Technique, it is the most suitable for women, being light and ethereal, akin to an immortal descending.
How is this possible... Even the ancestral leader of our family, who practices the "Yuan Yang Heart Sutra," is not this powerful. Could it be a noble-grade cultivation technique...
Gazing intently into the boy's eyes for a while, he found no trace of mockery or playfulness. Feng Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I believe you! What do you need me to do? Just tell me!"
Nie Xiaofeng just followed the instructions and stayed in the private room, unaware of what had happened earlier
As long as the "Fire Elixir" is successfully cultivated, it is a foregone conclusion that Feng Xiao will activate the bloodline factor to condense his dantian. Currently, being utterly destitute, it is a perfect excuse to acquire a portion of the medicinal materials for the "Heart-Returning Pill".
The external branch of the Nie family does not possess much wealth; 30,000 taels is likely the largest circulating figure for the Nie Long branch
"How can you, a mere insignificant person, boast like this? Even the renowned alchemist Liu Chengze of Jibeicheng would not dare to say such things. Do you think I would believe you?" Saying this, Feng Xiao still stopped in his tracks, turned around, and fixed his gaze on the young man, seemingly trying to discern what he was truly thinking beneath his calm exterior.
In the past, if I had acted on my own like this, my younger brother would have definitely scolded me as soon as he saw it. But today, not only did he not scold me, he actually seems very happy
Sister, the matter is settled, let's head back home
"Yes!" replied Nie Liu, and he stepped out. Before long, he had prepared the carriage and the silver coins.
Upon seeing her sister again and helping her resolve the crisis, Nie Yun felt very good and couldn't help but make a joke as soon as she entered the room
Since the matter of rebirth cannot be discussed, Nie Yun shifted the topic
The most powerful cultivation technique of the Nie family is the "Yuan Yang Heart Sutra," which is only qualified for the clan leader to practice. However, it is merely a low-grade noble technique. On the other hand, the technique taught by the younger brother, in terms of its profoundness, is at least on par, if not superior. Could it be a high-grade noble technique?
Take today for example, the reason for going out with Nie Liu is precisely to alleviate the feelings of gloom in my heart
My sister has a congenital weakness, and the family martial arts focus on a vigorous approach, which is indeed unsuitable for her. As a result, although she started her cultivation earlier than I did, she has only achieved the first level of the Qi Sea's Nine Heavens, the Qi Induction stage.
It is not that he does not believe in the young man before him, but rather that this fact is simply too incredible
Seeing him walk away, Nie Yun shook his head and strode into the private room
What? Went to Xialuo Mountain? Nie Yun's scalp suddenly felt electrified
This set of Ethereal Immortal Heart Technique is not merely a noble-grade cultivation method; although it cannot compare to my own Nine Transformations Nirvana Technique, it is still an unparalleled method, unworthy of even being a noble-grade footnote!
"Is this truly a noble-grade cultivation method? It is far too precious..." Upon hearing her younger brother's admission, Nie Xiaofeng felt somewhat at a loss.
