Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

It seems the other party got it from somewhere unknown.

With that, Chu Ning felt at ease to start cultivating.

Only after practicing with the Blood Cloud Needle did Chu Ning realize that this needle also had the effect of breaking restrictions.

Perhaps it’s because it condenses essence blood, pill power, and divine sense into a fine point, ordinary restrictions cannot withstand its attacks.

While cultivating, Chu Ning also combined the cultivation method of the Condensed Yuan Slash, along with many methods of breaking restrictions he learned from Divine Dream Ascendant.

Its power rose to a higher level!

Chu Ning also learned from Gu Feng’s past mistake, ensuring he wasn’t left defenseless after an attack.

At this moment, he condensed three Blood Cloud Needles hidden within his body.

However, when he tried to condense more, he found it was impossible.

Over these eight years, Chu Ning never halted the practice of other spells.

Yet, for the Celestial Fire Sword Technique and Blazing Fire Flaming Technique, his prior understanding was already deep, so there wasn’t much room for improvement.

However, the Void Finger, over eight years of research and understanding of the power of space, became incomparable to before.

In these eight years, Chu Ning also gained insights into array formations and artifact refining.

Besides that, one of the greatest achievements was in the art of talismans.

With a flip of his hand, a jade talisman appeared in Chu Ning’s hand.

It was precisely the top-level lower-grade talisman, the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman!

Chu Ning had been able to draw advanced upper-grade talismans for quite some time, but had never specifically set aside time to analyze the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman.

During these years, as he visited Frost Moon Pavilion every half year to deliver talismans,

he had more time for talisman crafting and began analyzing the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman.

After several years, Chu Ning finally completed the source analysis of this talisman and fully mastered the talisman crafting technique.

"The crafting requirements of the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman are extremely high.

It requires Earth Vein Jade, particularly the Ice Condensing Jade type.

Moreover, crafting this jade talisman requires specially refined and engraved talisman brush with rare materials.

I currently don’t have these things, so the Ice Shadow Jade Talisman cannot be drawn for now."

Chu Ning mused to himself and then put it aside.

For now, breaking through to the next level is more important for him.

After all, these past years, his focus has remained on cultivating the cultivation technique.

Caring for spirit plants and teasing spirit beasts, a day just passed like that.

The next morning, after completing the Refining Spirit Technique, Chu Ning went to the Snow Crystal Ganoderma.

As expected, he found a leaf that had completed its spiritual liquid condensation and collected it into a jade bottle, then returned to the cultivation room.

Sitting cross-legged, he casually dripped a drop of the liquid into his mouth.

The familiar spiritual qi and fragrance filled his entire mouth.

Chu Ning operated the Five Elements Chaos Technique and began refining.

Six days later.

If anyone were observing, they would notice.

Compared to six days ago, Chu Ning’s aura was much stronger.

The Snow Crystal Mushroom Spiritual Liquid, which usually took ten days to refine, was poured into his mouth. At this moment, Chu Ning slowly opened his eyes, finishing his cultivation.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Middle Stage of Golden Core!"

Chu Ning can now clearly feel that his cultivation level has crossed from the Early Stage of Golden Core to the Middle Stage.

This journey took over twenty years.

Of course, six of those years were spent on No-Spirit Island without practicing the Five Elements Chaos Technique.

"The Middle Stage of Golden Core is indeed different; the speed of refining Snow Crystal Mushroom Spiritual Liquid has doubled."

While contemplating, Chu Ning immediately checked his cultivation proficiency in his mind.

[Five Elements Chaos Technique (Celestial Tier Middle Grade), Second Layer (83/100000)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume Two, Second Layer (23600/90000)]

[Refining Spirit Technique, Fourth Layer (57045/64000)]

[Earth Produces Gold, detecting the host possesses a Gold Spirit Root.]

[Talent Refresh, awarding the talent "Geng Metal Spirit Body":

1. Greatly enhances sensitivity to Gold Attribute Spiritual Qi, boosts cultivation speed of gold element cultivation methods and spells; can stack with Yin Wood Spirit Body, Noon Fire Spirit Body, and Earth Spirit Body, effectively enhancing the cultivation speed of Wood, Fire, Earth, and Gold attribute methods and spells.

2. Using gold attribute spells, the power to attack restrictions is doubled.

Hidden Divine Talent:

Absorbs the Qi of Geng Metal from heavenly materials and earthly treasures; can use it to achieve victory after refining.]

"Phew, thankfully I condensed the Gold Spirit Root in advance!"

Seeing this talent refresh notification, Chu Ning’s first thought was that going to the Golden Spirit Species Spirit Realm beforehand was indeed the correct step.

After the Four Spirit Bodies of the Pill Talisman Artifact Array were refreshed, the system refresh granted him a cultivation-related spirit body, as expected.

Without condensing the Gold Spirit Root, this spirit body might not have been refreshed.

Concurrently, Chu Ning began checking the various talents below.

The bonuses for practicing gold attribute cultivation methods and spells need no mention.

However, the subsequent talents took Chu Ning by some surprise.

The doubling of the power of gold attribute spell attacks on restrictions is somewhat similar to the doubled power of spell usage by the Noon Fire Spirit Body.

However, the Geng Metal Spirit Body talent increases the power to break various restrictions, including array restrictions, defense restrictions, and so forth.

"Qi of Geng Metal!"

At this moment, Chu Ning glanced at the hidden talent of the Geng Metal Spirit Body.

He couldn’t help but begin to ponder.

This talent seems somewhat similar to the hidden talent of the Yin Wood Spirit Body, where the spiritual qi gathered by using wood attribute spells on spirit plants can be absorbed and converted into oneself.

Yet, there’s a noticeable difference.

Firstly, this Qi of Geng Metal is not gathered through one’s spell usage but is inherent in certain heavenly materials and earthly treasures, presumably within gold attribute celestial and earthly treasures.

Then, it can be absorbed and refined for use against enemies, likely enhancing one’s attacks by integrating into them.

Gold attribute spells inherently focus on killing and destruction, so this could significantly elevate one’s attack level!

While contemplating, Chu Ning withdrew his attention from the proficiency levels in his mind and focused on his Dantian.

Inside, not only is there a Gold Spirit Seed, but also three strands of Spirit Charm from the Gold Spirit Seed.

Previously, I couldn’t refine them, but now with a top-level Gold Spirit Root akin to the Celestial Spirit Root and the Geng Metal Spirit Body.

As long as I cultivate the gold attribute spell of the Five Elements Chaos Technique, I should be able to refine it!
