Chapter 779 - 322: Cultivation in the Cave Mansion on the Island for Fifteen Years (Part 3)
Now that the white magic robe has been equipped with the Wind Array, using the Divine Wind Escape, it is actually even faster than Bai Ling.
The most crucial point is that his magical power consumption has decreased by sixty percent compared to when he previously used the Divine Wind Escape.
This allows him to maintain rapid flying escape while covering greater distances.
Chu Ning mentioned his magic robe briefly to Bai Ling, who then teased the two Golden Thunder Eagles.
"Da Jin, Xiao Jin, flying escape is not my forte, but you two were born to fly in the sky, and yet you get left far behind by your master.
You better hurry up and advance in rank; do you want us to carry you when we fly in the future?"
"Goo!"
Hearing Bai Ling’s admonishment, the two Golden Thunder Eagles let out a mournful cry.
It’s uncertain whether it’s due to the use of the Profound Destiny Technique or the consumption of a substantial amount of Power of Origin Spirit Fruits, but the two Golden Thunder Eagles are far more intelligent than the Same Tier Demon Beasts.
Although they cannot speak like Bai Ling or use Divine Sense to communicate with Chu Ning,
they can roughly understand the conversation between Chu Ning and Bai Ling.
Chu Ning laughed at this moment:
"I’ve also noticed recently that these two seem to be advancing in ranks rather slowly. I’m still waiting for you to advance to Tier Five Demon Beasts, and truly unleash the Sound of the Golden Thunder, Devouring Souls and Ghosts."
As he spoke, Chu Ning said to Bai Ling:
"In the future, you should urge them to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for cultivation more often."
Bai Ling, of course, readily accepted this task without hesitation.
When coming out, he used the Escape Technique; on the way back, thinking it would be more exercise for the two Golden Thunder Eagles, Chu Ning simply rode the eagles back.
Just as Chu Ning was on his way back,
at the moment, around the sea island where the cave mansion is located, a white-haired elderly cultivator looked perplexed.
"I remember passing through here before; there seemed to be a small island nearby.
Although the Spiritual Qi wasn’t abundant and the area wasn’t large, I’ve rested here a few times. It shouldn’t be wrong."
The old man muttered to himself while looking around, even using Divine Sense to begin probing.
But he found nothing at all.
Murmuring a few more sentences, he then flew away directly.
Only after the old man’s figure vanished for a while did Chu Ning arrive and disappear into the array with a flash.
Chu Ning sensed the old man’s presence two hundred miles away and deliberately slowed down, waiting for the old man to leave before appearing.
He wasn’t encountering such a person for the first time.
The sea island here, even though it was previously just an uninhabited island some distance from the Ice Island Immortal City,
is surrounded by many larger islands, so many cultivators have passed through here and remember it.
They are naturally surprised by the inexplicable disappearance of this island.
However, this place is, after all, still part of the Inner Sea Region, mainly inhabited by Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators.
To be detected by a Golden Core cultivator like today, it’s the first time.
Judging from the reaction of the old Golden Core cultivator, he likely didn’t notice that there was a highly advanced array here.
Returning to the cave mansion on the island, Chu Ning passed through the Spirit Medicine Garden, but couldn’t help stopping in front of a few Spirit Plants.
"I wonder what these Spirit Fruits will eventually look like as they continue to grow."
Chu Ning’s eyes were fixed on a few blue Spirit Fruits, a hint of curiosity in his gaze.
These were, indeed, the Purple Origin Fruits he cultivated and nurtured after bringing them from the No-Spirit Island.
During the first thirty years of cultivation, Chu Ning hadn’t made any significant discoveries.
Unexpectedly, a year ago, after trying the Spirit Locking Technique he learned from Meng Ling, there was a noticeable change.
The Purple Origin Fruits, which he partitioned using the Spirit Locking Technique, started to deepen in blue.
And today, as Chu Ning looked at them again, he caught a faint hint of purple appearing.
Although this purple color is somewhat different from the dark purple of the original Purple Origin Fruits,
it’s more of a bluish-purple.
But such a change greatly surprised Chu Ning.
"Could it be that after cultivating them, each Purple Origin Fruit’s growth interferes with each other?
So, only after I used the Spirit Locking Technique did these few truly grow normally?"
Chu Ning had an uncertain hypothesis at this moment.
But just this hypothesis already made him think it was worth a try.
At this time, Chu Ning selected approximately half of the Purple Origin Fruits and applied the Spirit Locking Technique to each one.
Regarding the Leafless Flower, using the Spirit Locking Technique didn’t have much of an impact.
Yet Chu Ning felt the Spirit Locking Technique truly had its unique points.
After a year of attempts, Chu Ning found that the growth speed of the Leafless Flower was only affected by about one percent.
Such an impact is negligible for his current Spirit Plant cultivation, which is often measured in tens of years.
However, since Chu Ning’s cave mansion was divided into many sections, it didn’t matter whether he used it or not.
This year’s outings didn’t significantly affect Chu Ning’s secluded cultivation.
In the following time, Chu Ning chose to wholeheartedly cultivate on the sea island.
In the first one or two years, some cultivators occasionally remembered there was an island here and would stop by when passing through.
But as time passed, the cultivators seemed to forget about this place, and in the ensuing years, very few stopped when passing by.
Occasionally, a demon beast would accidentally enter the island’s array from the sea.
But they only ended up as food for the Golden Thunder Eagles.
With such an excellent cultivation environment, Chu Ning’s main focus remained on the Five Elements Chaos Technique.
With Bai Ling and the effects of his Profound Spring Youth Technique, the Snow Crystal Ganoderma’s spiritual liquid was produced in abundance.
Moreover, as the duration of the spell’s effect increased, the quantity of spiritual liquid also increased.
Not only did the time to condense spiritual liquid shrink to within three months, but occasionally, a single leaf could also condense five drops of spiritual liquid.
With the increased supply of Snow Crystal Mushroom Spiritual Liquid and the continuous provision of elixirs, Chu Ning’s cultivation speed remained fast-paced.
The proficiency of the Five Elements Chaos Technique increased by more than 10 points every day.
Fifteen years passed in this routine cultivation.
