Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Returning to the formation, Chu Ning began setting up his own cave mansion.

The cultivation room was naturally set above the hidden spirit vein. In addition, there were also a spiritual herb garden, a spirit beast room, a talisman room, and so on.

There was also a room for artifact refining and an alchemy room prepared by Chu Ning.

Although there was no earth fire here, his pill fire and earth vein essence fire could still be used for refining.

This was for emergencies.

With the spirit medicine garden ready, Chu Ning’s first task was to plant the Snow Crystal Ganoderma.

Since he would next enter seclusion to cultivate, this item was vital for cultivation and much more effective than elixirs.

Following that, Chu Ning planted the spiritual medicines and plants that he had brought from Ice Island Immortal City, one by one.

When planting the Purple Origin Fruit and Leafless Flower, Chu Ning impulsively divided several spirit fruits.

He began to perform the Spirit Locking Technique he learned from Meng Ling.

These two types of spiritual plants were among those he was cultivating in larger quantities, and Chu Ning wanted to see how much the Spirit Locking Technique would impact their growth.

According to the spiritual plants cultivated by Meng Ling, the impact didn’t seem too significant.

If so, in the future, some spiritual plants could indeed be cultivated this way without needing to create too many restricted areas using arrays.

Once the entire cave mansion was set up, Chu Ning still didn’t rush to start cultivating.

Instead, he went to a corner of the island and began to set up an array he had long wanted to implement.

Cloud Thunder Array.

Previously, when traveling to the Outer Sea with Chang Lingshan and others, he encountered a thunder tribulation from the Gold and Silver Bird.

By chance, he discovered that the power of thunder was effective for body tempering.

Chu Ning later attempted it only once, within an array on Di Huo’s Cloud Concealment Island.

After obtaining the array formation method for the Cloud Thunder Array from Di Yan, because it was inconvenient to set up such an array in Ice Island Immortal City, Chu Ning hadn’t tried it since.

This time, his inclination to cultivate on an island was partly because he wanted to try the Cloud Thunder Array.

Chu Ning had long prepared the materials for setting up the Cloud Thunder Array, and even bought a Thunder Stone during his last trip to Cold Rock City.

After spending a day setting up the Cloud Thunder Array, Chu Ning walked into it holding the Thunder Stone.

Inserting the Thunder Stone, Chu Ning cast a spell which entered a jade stone in the array.

Immediately, a thunder arc descended upon Chu Ning.

"This is huge!"

A surge of electricity brought a sense of paralysis, and Chu Ning immediately started cultivating the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

After spending some time, that trace of thunder power was directly absorbed by Chu Ning.

Chu Ning then continued to activate the array. This time, a slightly thinner strand of thunder power descended.

As soon as it entered Chu Ning’s body, it was guided to begin body tempering while Chu Ning was cultivating the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

"The power seems somewhat insufficient."

Chu Ning thought to himself and began adjusting the size of the thunder power again.

After several tries, Chu Ning quickly found a balance between the two.

After staying in the array for half an hour, Chu Ning finally walked out of the Cloud Thunder Array.

At the same time, he glanced at his cultivation proficiency.

[Five Elements Chaos Technique (Celestial Tier Middle Grade), Second Layer (43138/100000)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume Two, Second Layer (33465/90000)]

[Refining Spirit Technique, Fourth Layer (64000/64000)]

"20 points, the thunder power body tempering effect is still as good as ever.

However, the thunder power from the Thunder Stone obviously cannot compare to the thunder during the Gold and Silver Bird’s tribulation.

If one were to rely entirely on the thunder power provided by the Thunder Stone for body tempering, the thunder power on it might be exhausted in less than ten days."

However, Chu Ning was not overly concerned.

In the Endless Sea, thunderstorms don’t occur frequently, but they do appear once every half a month or a month, which is quite normal.

When that time comes, the Cloud Thunder Array can be used to gather thunder power, ensuring his subsequent cultivation is secured.

Furthermore, after this trial, he wouldn’t need to temper his body with thunder for such long periods moving forward.

The consumption of thunder power would not be so large either.

Even if he couldn’t use thunder power for body tempering every day, having it for half the month shouldn’t be a big issue.

Thinking this, Chu Ning returned to the cultivation room, considering his next steps in cultivation.

The time spent on the Refining Spirit Technique could certainly be reduced, as the proficiency couldn’t increase past the fourth layer perfection.

And Chu Ning hadn’t found a suitable subsequent cultivation method yet.

However, the Refining Spirit Technique couldn’t be stopped.

Chu Ning recently experimented a bit; although the proficiency couldn’t increase, the intensity of the Refining Spirit Technique could still be enhanced.

This enhancement didn’t reflect in the range of his Divine Sense extension.

But Chu Ning could feel that within a hundred-mile radius, the strength of his Divine Sense could extend further with such cultivation.

Chu Ning had a feeling that if he continued to cultivate, within a three-hundred-mile radius, the strength of his Divine Sense could be uniform.

Another method of cultivation was to combine techniques like Divine Splitting Technique and God-slaying Technique to train his Divine Sense secret techniques.

For example, by enhancing the strength of the Divine Sense split by the Divine Splitting Technique, he could unleash more God-slaying Techniques at once.

Body refinement after using the power of thunder for body tempering could also significantly compress the daily cultivation time.

Maintaining around 5 points of improvement daily was sufficient for Chu Ning.

Any more, and there wouldn’t be enough thunder power.

"So, the next focus is on the Five Elements Chaos Technique!"
