Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Then immediately showed an excited and ecstatic expression.

"It’s really a top-level magical artifact! This elder is so generous. Father, mother, this elder looks even younger than me, he..."

"Alright, Xia’Er, don’t discuss the elder’s affairs." The middle-aged male cultivator immediately stopped the young female cultivator.

Then he said solemnly, "I’ll keep this short sword safe for now. Let’s hurry back, and remember not to mention today’s matter to anyone."

The two female cultivators nodded repeatedly.

The three quickly left, heading towards Ice Island Immortal City outside the mountain range.

At this moment, Chu Ning was following the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly, continuing to explore within the Snow Peak Mountain Range.

This Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly had just been used by the middle-aged cultivator by applying the Secret Pointing Technique to command it.

However, such a small creature was easily subdued by Chu Ning.

Chu Ning then used the Driving Technique he learned from Qi Guangshou of the Jiuhua Sect, and the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly obediently followed his command.

"Golden Arrow Fruit, this is a good find, not only does it contain the Qi of Geng Metal, but it’s also excellent for alchemy."

"Golden Glow Mushroom can be eaten directly, though it lacks the Qi of Geng Metal."

...

With the assistance of the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly, Chu Ning found it much easier to search the mountain range.

This creature is indeed very sensitive to gold attribute spirit medicine, often able to sense it from dozens of miles away.

Even better than Chu Ning’s own divine sense.

Continuing into the mountain range, after half a day, Chu Ning arrived outside a valley.

Looking up, he saw that the valley was shrouded in snow and wind, enveloped in a layer of white mist, making it impossible to see inside.

Upon approaching, one could distinctly feel the temperature that was much lower than the surrounding area.

"Snow Mist Valley!"

Looking at this renowned treasure near Ice Island Immortal City, Chu Ning’s gaze became curious.

"This wind and snow deter people not just because of the cold, but it seems to also contain the power of space."

Having stayed on No-Spirit Island for many years, Chu Ning was exceedingly familiar with the power of space.

Therefore, just by getting close, he could roughly sense it.

The wind and snow here, like the Beast Mountain Forbidden Land on No-Spirit Island back then, was filled with the power of space.

However, perhaps due to the presence of spiritual qi here, the power of space also contained extremely strong ice cold power.

After carefully sensing, Chu Ning found that he could barely withstand it.

Of course, not knowing the situation inside Snow Mist Valley, Chu Ning naturally wouldn’t take such a risk.

Immediately, Chu Ning directed the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly to bypass Snow Mist Valley and continue deeper into the mountain range.

However, the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly grew fearful and hesitant to go further into the depths.

"Deeper in, the entire mountain range is covered in ice and snow, with extremely low temperatures.

Even an Early Stage of Golden Core cultivator might be unable to withstand it.

This little creature, after all, is of too low a level, just a Tier One demon beast, not even reaching Tier Two, so it’s understandable that it can’t endure."

Chu Ning himself felt little discomfort; firstly, his magical power and physical strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivator.

Secondly, he wore the Ice and Fire Silk Armor obtained from the Thunder Fire Sect ruins.

However, since the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly couldn’t proceed further, Chu Ning had to turn back and continue searching in the relatively outer areas.

After wandering the Snow Peak Mountain Range for over ten days, guided by the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly, Chu Ning harvested quite a few spirit medicines and spirit fruits.

In comparison, materials with gold attributes were fewer because the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly couldn’t detect them.

Chu Ning’s divine sense found a scant few, none of which were what he wanted.

Returning to Ice Island Immortal City, Chu Ning first went to his cave mansion and planted seven Spirit Plants with the Qi of Geng Metal in the Spirit Medicine Garden.

Then, Chu Ning performed the Profound Spring Youth Technique, allowing the Spirit Plants to absorb more gold attribute spiritual qi.

"With so many Spirit Plants, at this rate, I can refine a considerable amount of Qi of Geng Metal every month."

Chu Ning nodded in satisfaction.

Then he took some talismans and unused spirit medicine and headed straight to the Frost Moon Pavilion.

He still needed four materials to refine the Golden Spirit Sword, and now it seemed the only option was to see if they could be gathered at the Frost Moon Pavilion.

Alternatively, attending more major trading days and when Snow Mist Valley opens in a year, when there are more cultivators, might also increase his chances.

On the way to Frost Moon Pavilion, Chu Ning noticed many cultivators on the road, realizing today must be the Frost Moon Pavilion’s major trading day.

Arriving at Frost Moon Pavilion, the one guarding downstairs was still Bai Ruo.

The two were quite familiar; upon seeing Chu Ning, Bai Ruo immediately came forward.

"Elder Chu, you’ve come. It’s been a year since you last visited the pavilion."

Chu Ning nodded, glanced at her, and said with a smile,

"A year hasn’t passed in vain; Miss Bai Ruo, your cultivation has improved significantly. Congratulations on reaching the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment."

"Thank you, Elder!" Bai Ruo smiled upon hearing this.

She glanced at Chu Ning, vaguely sensing his aura seemed a bit stronger.

But with her Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation, she naturally couldn’t tell that Chu Ning had already advanced to the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

So she didn’t dare say much, only adding,

"Several other elders have already arrived. The small trading meeting should start soon."

Hearing this, Chu Ning didn’t delay any longer and quickly headed to the third floor.

Entering the small room for internal trading, he found that over a dozen people were already seated inside.
