Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Leaving Chang Lingshan’s cave mansion, Chu Ning first went to find the person in charge at Changkong Hall to retrieve the Spirit Stones he had paid, and then left Upper City.

Taking into account, Chu Ning had resided in this Ice Island Immortal City for nearly thirty years, having spent over a hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

Though not much remained from the previous payment, even the smallest mosquito is still meat.

Arriving at Lower City in Ice Island Immortal City, Chu Ning looked around before heading to Xi Wenxia’s residence.

This Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator had assisted him a lot over the past ten years. It was mutually beneficial, both emotionally and rationally. Since he was leaving Ice Island Immortal City, it was necessary to bid farewell to her.

"Senior, are you leaving Ice Island Immortal City?"

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Xi Wenxia’s face changed drastically.

"Where is Senior going? If I want to find Senior in the future, how do I contact you?"

"I will be traveling for a while and may find a place to settle down, but it’s yet uncertain."

Chu Ning casually responded.

Then he casually took out a Jade Scroll from the Storage Bag and handed it over to her.

"Contained within are some Intermediate Middle Grade and Upper Grade talisman making techniques.

If you are interested, you can study them; mastering talisman making techniques should ensure sufficient resources during the Foundation Establishment Stage."

Xi Wenxia glanced at the Jade Scroll in Chu Ning’s hand but did not immediately reach out to take it.

She slightly lowered her head, lightly biting her red lips, and ultimately mustered the courage to ask:

"Elder Chu, if you find a place to settle down and establish a cave mansion, can you... can you let me accompany you in cultivation?"

Chu Ning calmly looked at her but did not speak directly.

At this moment, Xi Wenxia’s face blushed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally added:

"If possible, I’m willing to serve as Senior’s concubine."

As she spoke this sentence, Xi Wenxia quickly averted her gaze, not daring to make eye contact with Chu Ning.

Was he being confessed to by this Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator?

In Chu Ning’s heart at the moment, he could not deny a slight sense of self-satisfaction.

Yet with his current level of Qi Cultivation Technique, it naturally would not show on the surface.

Chu Ning looked faintly at Xi Wenxia, who was shyly bowing her head at the moment, and straightforwardly asked:

"Is it because of my Cultivation and Divine Techniques, or is there something else you fancy?"

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s question, the blush on Xi Wenxia’s face quickly faded. She raised her head, and seeing Chu Ning’s calm eyes without any mocking intent.

The expression on her face finally eased.

Understanding that Chu Ning was seriously asking this question.

Xi Wenxia remained silent for a moment, then mustered the courage to look at Chu Ning, her gaze clear.

"I don’t know, Senior’s Divine Techniques indeed give me a strong sense of security.

But just now, upon hearing that Senior was leaving, I instinctively wanted to follow."

Chu Ning looked at Xi Wenxia’s clear gaze at this moment, able to feel her sincerity.

Pondering slightly, he sighed and said:

"Your Cultivation is too low, it is not appropriate for you to be my Dao companion."

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, the expression on Xi Wenxia’s chilly yet handsome face showed no hesitation.

"I dared not to hope to be Senior’s Dao companion initially. If Senior isn’t adverse to it, I’d be willing to be Senior’s concubine."

Chu Ning heard Xi Wenxia’s resolute attitude and internally sighed lightly.

At this moment in his mind, the image of Cen Zijin flashed by.

Back then, the impression Fairy Cen left on him was so deep, and also his first heart-throb upon entering the Cultivation Realm.

Though decades have passed, it remains vivid.

Whether it was those solitary moments here and there, or all the things before she left.

All left a profound mark in Chu Ning’s heart.

To the extent that during his years on No-Spirit Island, despite spending time with Shi Xuerong, a fellow talented Golden Core Cultivator.

His inner heart hardly stirred with any significant waves.

"You might just be somewhat impulsive now; with your talisman making techniques, you can actually sustain yourself.

In this Ice Island Immortal City, there isn’t much danger, no need to begrudge yourself."

Chu Ning spoke, seeing Xi Wenxia still wanting to say something.

He again calmly said:

"I do not require anyone’s service around me."

Hearing Chu Ning say this, the darkness and disappointment flashed in Xi Wenxia’s eyes.

Then she received the Jade Scroll from Chu Ning’s hand and bowed to express her thanks:

"I was presumptuous, thank you Senior for your care over these years."

When Xi Wenxia lifted her head again, Chu Ning’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

Soon after, Chu Ning appeared in the Inner Sea, flying towards that unnamed small island.

"Master, this Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator is quite beautiful, and she is willing to be a concubine, why not accept her?"

At this moment, Bai Ling had already transformed into human form, sitting on a Golden Thunder Eagle, smilingly asking Chu Ning.

"Oh, I know, Master is thinking of Fairy Cen?"

Chu Ning gave an ambiguous smile.

Then slowly said: "Xi Wenxia’s cultivation talent is actually good, if in the future there’s a chance to leave Northern Cold land and return to Jiuhua Sect.

It’s worth considering to bring her into the sect for cultivation, as for the matter of being a concubine, let’s just leave it."

The Northern Cold land isn’t bad for cultivation; Chu Ning truly obtained many cultivation resources here.

But ever since stepping on the cultivation path, the most comfortable place for Chu Ning has been Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands and Jiuhua Sect.

Among them, Jiuhua Sect holds the foremost place in his heart.

Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands is mostly a place of freedom, and also where he shared time with Cen Zijin.
