Chapter 782 - 324: A Person’s Reputation, a Tree’s Shadow—The Name of Chu Ning
The Gold Spiritual Qi spilling from the Gold Spirit Seed entered Chu Ning’s Dantian.
Soon it was refined by Chu Ning’s Five Elements Chaos Technique and converted into Gold Attribute Magical Power.
At this moment, Chu Ning did not stop the refinement and continued to channel the Five Elements Chaos Technique, transforming it into Water Attribute Magical Power.
"It is indeed somewhat easier to directly convert Gold Attribute Magical Power into Water Attribute Magical Power."
As Chu Ning was thinking this, he suddenly felt a violent fluctuation in the Spiritual Qi within the Hidden Spirit Vein underground.
Immediately, pure Water Attribute Spiritual Qi followed the flow of magical power, entering his body directly.
The Water Attribute Spiritual Qi was too dense, and even with Chu Ning’s full effort to channel magical power, the rate of absorption and refinement couldn’t keep up.
Soon, the dense Water Attribute Spiritual Qi enveloped Chu Ning, forming a white misty mass.
Seeing this, Chu Ning was slightly surprised at first,
then felt immense joy.
The refinement of Spirit Charm could induce Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, so the refinement of the Gold Spirit Seed naturally inducing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was no surprise.
However, what slightly surprised Chu Ning was,
whether it was because he had channeled the Five Elements Chaos Technique to smoothly convert the Gold Spiritual Power into Water Attribute Magical Power,
or because the island itself had denser Water Attribute Spiritual Qi compared to Gold Attribute Spiritual Qi,
or perhaps a combination of both.
At this moment, it actually directly induced such a vast amount of pure Water Attribute Spiritual Qi.
For Chu Ning, who already had the experience of condensing Gold Attribute Magical Power, he naturally knew that in such a situation, completing the magical power conversion was naturally a case of achieving twice the result with half the effort.
Immediately, Chu Ning did not hesitate anymore, continued to channel the Five Elements Chaos Technique, and began to induce the Gold Spirit Seed to continuously release Gold Spiritual Qi.
Simultaneously, he circulated the refining conversion process from before,
and continuously absorbed and refined the Water Attribute Spiritual Qi from the Hidden Spirit Vein.
Chu Ning remained in secluded cultivation, and at this moment outside the Cultivation Room, Bai Ling blinked with a puzzled look.
"Half a month ago, master had already broken through to the Golden Core Late Stage, why hasn’t he emerged yet from his seclusion?"
The aura of the Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator in the Cultivation Room had long since been restrained.
But Chu Ning’s figure was nowhere to be seen, which made Bai Ling very surprised.
What surprised Bai Ling even more was that month after month passed,
yet Chu Ning still did not appear.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
For a full six months, the entire Cultivation Room hadn’t shown the slightest movement.
If Bai Ling didn’t trust that with Chu Ning’s current cultivation realm, breaking through to the Golden Core Late Stage wouldn’t be a problem,
she might have already barged into the Cultivation Room to see for herself.
This day, as Bai Ling was still waiting outside the Cultivation Room, suddenly the restriction above it fluctuated.
The next moment, Chu Ning’s figure finally emerged from the Cultivation Room.
"Congratulations, Master, on coming out of seclusion!"
Seeing Chu Ning’s face adorned with a faint smile, Bai Ling immediately let out a joyous voice.
Chu Ning nodded towards Bai Ling and said:
"Bai Ling, you’ve worked hard during this period. Nothing happened on the island, right?"
"Nothing!" Bai Ling replied with a smile.
"It’s just that Da Jin and Xiao Jin have fallen asleep, and they seem close to breaking through and promoting to Tier Five Demon Beasts."
"Oh? Da Jin and Xiao Jin are close to breaking through?" Chu Ning’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
However, after thinking about it, it seemed normal. The two Golden Thunder Eagles woke up from their slumber before Chu Ning promoted to the Middle Stage of the Golden Core.
At that time, not only were their Beast Crystals completely gone, but they also broke through from Tier Three Demon Beasts to Tier Four.
Calculating, it’s been over thirty years now. In these thirty years, they’ve eaten all sorts of demon beasts, even quite a few corpses of Tier Five and Six demon beasts.
Promoting to a Fifth Level Demon Beast seems normal.
"What about you? Are you close to promoting?" Chu Ning asked Bai Ling.
Calculating, Bai Ling’s promotion to a Tier Five Demon Beast surpassed twenty-five years.
It’s just that Chu Ning had been in secluded cultivation for more than twenty years, so it didn’t seem like a long time.
"Also quite soon, breaking through from Tier Five to Tier Six doesn’t require a large cross-realm leap."
Bai Ling said with a smile, then curiously asked Chu Ning:
"Master, you broke through to the Golden Core Late Stage half a year ago. I even noticed that after just about half a month, your realm had stabilized,
and you no longer exuded your aura. Why did you stay in seclusion for so long this time?"
"I was in seclusion mainly to refine the Gold Spirit Seed!"
He didn’t talk in detail about how the Five Elements Chaos Technique was cultivated with Bai Ling.
But as soon as he mentioned the Gold Spirit Seed, Bai Ling immediately understood and blinked, asking:
"So Master, have you refined the Gold Spirit Seed? That Spirit Seed is said to help cultivators break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. Did you have any special insights during the refinement?"
"Not completely refined yet." Chu Ning shook his head.
Over the span of more than half a year, Chu Ning refined the Gold Spirit Seed every day and used this as a means to absorb and refine the Spiritual Qi from the Hidden Spirit Vein, finally completing all the magical power conversion.
This took twice as long compared to when he refined Spirit Charm at the Middle Stage of the Golden Core.
This naturally is related to his own increasingly abundant magical power.
However, even though Chu Ning spent six months refining, he had only refined a small portion of the Gold Spirit Seed.
According to Chu Ning’s estimation, even with uninterrupted refinement, it would take nearly ten years to fully refine the entire Gold Spirit Seed.
By then, the Third Layer of the Five Elements Chaos Technique might have been cultivated to perfection, reaching the Realm of Perfection at the Golden Core Late Stage Peak.
Of course, ten years of continuous refinement is clearly impossible too.
