Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

"Are you really not even the slightest bit tempted, Fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning coldly replied again:

"Fellow Daoist, you've found the wrong person. For one, I don't know much about arrays, and secondly, I'm not interested in any so-called Ancient Cultivator's Cave Mansion."

Chu Ning originally thought that by refusing so firmly, Feng Yanzhang would no longer bother him.

But unexpectedly, the man still smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you can name your conditions. I've collected some good items over the years.

If you're willing to help break the array, I'm willing to pay you some reward beforehand.

And later, if the Ancient Cultivator's Cave Mansion is opened, we can split the items inside. How about it?"

"I think I've made my point quite clear..."

Chu Ning was about to decline, but suddenly his words halted, and he looked at the two figures that had just flown over.

After Chu Ning had raised his head and looked for a few breaths, Feng Yanzhang seemed to sense something too and looked up.

Instantly, his expression changed slightly.

"Oh no, why have they come here."

He whispered softly, and immediately transmitted his voice to Chu Ning:

"Fellow Daoist, what I just said, please don't mention it.

The ones coming are the Biling Black and White Demons, extremely troublesome. If asked, just say you don't know me."

As Feng Yanzhang transmitted his voice, two figures flew in.

Both looked about sixty years old, bearing great resemblance, with fierce and menacing expressions.

The difference lay in that the man on the left wore a black magic robe, while the one on the right wore a white magic robe.

Both had reached the Golden Core Late Stage Peak level.

After they arrived, their gaze swept over Chu Ning and Feng Yanzhang, then the white-robed elder on the right was the first to speak:

"So it's Fellow Daoist Feng, so eager to leave the city, where did you discover some treasure this time?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu is joking." Feng Yanzhang was clearly rather fearful of these two, responding with a face full of smiles.

"I'm just leaving the city for a stroll."

"Oh, is that so?" Xu, the white-robed elder, looked again at the two, his gaze falling on Chu Ning.

"And this Fellow Daoist? Who might he be? Shall Fellow Daoist Feng not introduce him?"

Feng Yanzhang laughed again, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you're really putting me in a hard spot. I only just encountered this Fellow Daoist.

He merely asked me for directions, so we exchanged a few words."

The elder Xu showed a flash of mockery in his eyes upon hearing this, then addressed Chu Ning:

"Fellow Daoist, you look unfamiliar; perhaps from some island or hidden mountain?

When it comes to familiarity with the area around Cold Rock City, we brothers are no less familiar than Fellow Daoist Feng.

If you haven't asked for directions, we brothers could point you the way."

"I've asked for directions already, so don't trouble yourselves, Fellow Daoists." After saying this, Chu Ning turned to make his escape.

He was not clear on the relationships among the three and was not interested in clarifying them.

Seeing the Biling Black and White Demons clearly didn't seem congenial, he naturally didn't want to be involved in this trouble.

But just as he moved, a figure had already flown to him.

"Fellow Daoist, haven't explained clearly, and yet you're in such a hurry to leave; surely you're not ignoring our brothers?"

Following this voice, an extremely cold and dark spell attacked.

The black-robed elder had already intercepted Chu Ning and attacked him unreasonably.

Chu Ning responded by slightly raising an eyebrow; he waved his hand, throwing out a straightforward punch.

This was Chu Ning's Geng Metal Divine Fist, which he hadn't used in some time.

His flying swords had previously demonstrated great power at Snow Mist Valley, known to many in the Northern Cold Land.

He didn't use them now for fear of being recognized.

Without understanding what was truly happening, he naturally didn't want to recklessly expose his identity.

He wasn't sure if more trouble would follow.

The mighty Gold Attribute Divine Fist clashed with the cold and dark-power spell, and in a moment, both dissipated.

"Oh, interesting."

The black-robed elder uttered in a low tone.

"No wonder you seem fearless, so you do have some skill.

I want to see what capability you have at the Middle Stage of Golden Core."

Saying this, the black-robed elder launched one palm attack after another.

Each palm shadow seemed invisible but was filled with cold and dark power, striking towards Chu Ning.

It made Feng Yanzhang, who was not far away, change his face dramatically.

He moved as though intending to help Chu Ning.

But at this moment, the white-robed elder Xu had already intercepted him.

Feng Yanzhang saw this and a bit of a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoists Xu, you've misunderstood completely; I've just met this Fellow Daoist, don't even know his name.

As for the treasure you mentioned, it's all unfounded."

"Hey! Feng Yanzhang, don't force me to act."

The white-robed elder Xu let out a cold chuckle at this moment.

"A few months ago, you left your wife in Cold Rock City and yet went to Ice Crown Mountain. Do you think we're unaware?

You, Feng Yanzhang, are renowned for being good to your wife, searching far and wide for heavenly materials and earthly treasures for her illness.

If there weren't treasures in Ice Crown Mountain, would you have stayed so long?"
