Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Such impatience for quick success might ultimately lead to going astray in cultivation, or even to the backlash of a heart demon.

Chu Ning deduced that upon completely refining the Gold Spirit Seed, he would reach the Golden Core Late Stage Peak Realm, based on his proficiency.

[Five Elements Chaos Technique (Celestial Tier Middle Grade), Third Layer (10800/200000)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume Two, Second Layer (60840/90000)]

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

The effect of the Gold Spirit Seed is indeed powerful. Over the past six months, Chu Ning’s Five Elements Chaos Technique has been increasing rapidly at a near 60-point rate daily.

At this pace, achieving perfection at the Third Layer would take roughly ten years.

However, after completing the transformation of his magical power, Chu Ning found that his speed in refining the Gold Spirit Seed noticeably slowed.

Even with uninterrupted cultivation all day, it only increased by about 25 points.

Moreover, the phenomenon of stirring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was no longer appearing.

Now, even when refining the Gold Spirit Seed, Chu Ning couldn’t achieve the effect of crazily gathering Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

It’s only slightly faster than ordinary cultivation in absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Nevertheless, Chu Ning attempted refining the Gold Spirit Seed, and found that consuming Snow Crystal Ganoderma, elixirs, and other spirit medicines for enhancing magical power did not conflict.

On the contrary, after consuming Snow Ganoderma, it could even aid in refining the Gold Spirit Seed.

So, in the coming period, he could confidently rely on these resources for cultivation.

He briefly explained this situation to Bai Ling, and Chu Ning’s face showed a trace of contemplation.

"As for the Spirit Seed assisting in advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, I don’t have a profound understanding yet.

After all, the Spiritual Qi I’ve refined from the Gold Spirit Seed is still too little; perhaps I would gain some insight if I were to refine it completely."

After speaking, Chu Ning continued with Bai Ling:

"With Da Jin and Xiao Jin in slumber, you might as well stay on this island to guard the house.

With your cultivation, and the array here, no cultivators or demon beasts should pose a threat in the Inner Sea.

I’m going to visit Ice Island Immortal City to get a general understanding of the current situation in the Northern Cold Land.

Then, I’ll see if I can acquire the Essence Soul of a Tier Eight Water Attribute Demon Beast to refine a Water Spirit Sword magical treasure."

Even though he has already advanced to the Golden Core Late Stage, his magical power has considerably thickened, and he has plenty of methods at hand, Chu Ning still dared not casually confront Tier Eight Demon Beasts.

After all, they are comparable to Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Besides, going to the Outer Sea remains too risky, as it doesn’t only have Tier Eight Demon Beasts.

However, the Essence Souls of Tier Eight Demon Beasts are genuinely rare, and whether he could procure one from elsewhere would depend on his fortune.

"Alright, Master, feel free to go." Bai Ling replied with a smile.

"If I truly can’t handle it, I could just imitate the aura of a Tier Ten Demon Beast, which would likely scare them away."

"But by doing so, it might attract Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators, making it difficult for us to stay on this island."

After Chu Ning finished speaking, Bai Ling immediately replied:

"Don’t worry, Master, that’s only in extreme cases.

This simulating aura secret technique for Tier Ten Demon Beasts is highly consuming, and I’d be reluctant to use it lightly with just one Cold Marrow Bead."

Chu Ning nodded.

Bai Ling had indeed informed him that the simulating aura secret technique consumes a lot, and despite having practiced the secret technique and having the assistance of the Cold Marrow Bead, Bai Ling had never demonstrated it before him.

Nonetheless, Bai Ling did simulate the aura of Tier Seven Demon Beasts, which didn’t require external aids.

Chu Ning also experienced it; even with his extraordinary sensitivity to auras and his strong Divine Sense, he couldn’t discern it at all.

Presumably, simulating the aura of Tier Ten Demon Beasts would be similar.

Entrusting Bai Ling to watch over the island, Chu Ning released his Divine Sense to confirm that there weren’t any other cultivators nearby.

Only then did he escape from the island, flying towards Ice Island Immortal City.

Donning a new magic robe, his Divine Wind Escape was remarkably fast, and his magical power consumption was minimal.

Even though the island is only two thousand miles from Ice Island Immortal City, it wouldn’t take him much time.

Thus, he didn’t opt to use the teleportation array from islands in the Inner Sea.

During his flight, Chu Ning paid attention and found that there were few cultivators in these sea regions, especially few Qi Refining Cultivators.

Occasionally, when seeing cultivators flying above the sea, they were mostly Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

This was noticeably different from his experience a decade ago in these sea regions.

A decade ago, in the Inner Sea, Golden Core Cultivators were stationed on various islands.

Cultivators were still quite proactive in hunting demon beasts during their excursions.

"It seems some changes have occurred recently, I originally arranged to guard an island, but then left directly.

I wonder if I’ve been blacklisted by the Changkong Hall."

Chu Ning mused to himself, but since he no longer resided in Ice Island Immortal City.

He thought the Changkong Hall wouldn’t treat him differently over this matter.

However, as he initially planned to fly directly to Ice Island Immortal City, he now decided to first investigate the recent situation.

With this thought, Chu Ning spread his Divine Sense and soon sensed the presence of several Foundation Establishment Cultivators two hundred miles away.

Two hundred miles away, there were two men and two women, four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, flying in escape.

At this moment, the square-faced middle-aged male cultivator flying at the lead suddenly spoke:

"Do you feel like a Divine Sense is locking onto us?"
