Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Arriving at Ice Island Immortal City, Chu Ning pondered for a moment and then headed towards the Frost Moon Pavilion.

Generally speaking, there were slightly more Golden Core Cultivators there, and if lucky, he might bump into a couple of acquaintances.

Even if he didn’t meet any, it wouldn’t be hard to inquire about some news from the Frost Moon Pavilion.

If all else failed, he would have to find Chang Lingshan for information.

Walking into Frost Moon Pavilion, he was greeted by a stranger — a Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator, only at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.

It was unclear whether she was a newly promoted Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Seeing Chu Ning as a Golden Core Cultivator, and somewhat unfamiliar, she looked a bit surprised but still stepped forward to greet him.

"This seems to be the first time I’ve seen this elder; is there anything I can assist with?"

Chu Ning did not look at her and directly asked:

"Are there any Fellow Daoist Golden Core in the pavilion now?"

"Currently, Elder Wu Lingwei and Elder Tang Jinchuan are both in the pavilion."

The female cultivator replied, glancing at Chu Ning’s young face, and said:

"Which elder would you like to see? I can pass on your message."

Chu Ning hesitated almost not at all:

"Let’s find Fellow Daoist Wu."

Having dealt with the Frost Moon Pavilion for so long, Chu Ning naturally knew that Wu Lingwei was in charge there.

The female cultivator only knew that Chu Ning was a Golden Core Cultivator, but with her cultivation, she couldn’t discern the specific level.

Upon hearing Chu Ning immediately request Wu Lingwei, she felt a little hesitant inside, but no expression appeared on her face.

She merely said: "May I have the elder’s name? So I can inform the elder of the pavilion."

"Junior Sister Qiu, no need to notify; I’ll take Elder Chu up directly."

Just as Chu Ning was about to speak, a somewhat familiar voice sounded.

Then he saw Bai Ruo, who had always been in charge of receiving him, come out.

As the female cultivator called Bai Ruo "Senior Sister Bai," Bai Ruo quickly walked to Chu Ning and bowed in greeting.

"Miss Bai Ruo greets Elder Chu. Elder Chu hasn’t visited the pavilion for a long time. Junior Sister Qiu doesn’t recognize you, and I ask Elder Chu to forgive us."

Seeing a familiar face, a smile involuntarily appeared on Chu Ning’s face.

"Miss Bai doesn’t need to be so polite. It’s quite normal not to recognize me since I haven’t been here for more than a decade."

Upon hearing Chu Ning say so, Bai Ruo smiled lightly and gestured upstairs with her hand.

"Please, elder!"

Chu Ning then headed straight to the third floor of the pavilion.

The female cultivator with the surname Qiu on the first floor was also startled by this sight.

"I wonder what the background of this Elder Chu is, that Senior Sister Bai is so courteous to him."

She did not know that Bai Ruo had benefited quite a bit from Chu Ning’s business dealings over twenty years ago.

So, Bai Ruo valued Chu Ning more highly than an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator.

In the last decade, without Chu Ning’s talismans and various rare materials, Bai Ruo’s business had reduced significantly.

In the beginning, Bai Ruo lamented quite a bit, and it wasn’t until she realized that Chu Ning hadn’t shown up again that she gradually eased up.

At this moment, Bai Ruo couldn’t resist asking teasingly:

"Elder Chu, you haven’t shown your face for over a decade, and many cultivators looking for Advanced Talismans in the pavilion have criticized us.

Now that you’ve returned to the Immortal City, could you stay for a while and sell us some more talismans?

The pavilion has collected quite a few good things over the years."

Chu Ning smiled faintly and said:

"Miss Bai Ruo jests; how could such a large business like the Frost Moon Pavilion be concerned with these small things from Mr. Chu?

But if the pavilion has gathered some good things over the years, perhaps I might find something I like."

Hearing Chu Ning say this, Bai Ruo naturally couldn’t ask more.

She directly led Chu Ning to a trading room on the third floor.

By coincidence, Wu Lingwei had just finished meeting with a Golden Core Cultivator, and the two of them were just exiting.

Seeing Chu Ning, they both exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, long time no see!"

"Fellow Daoist Wu!" "Fellow Daoist Xiao!"

Chu Ning cupped his hands in greeting towards them; Wu Lingwei, needless to say, still dressed in her sumptuous palace attire.

Her appearance hadn’t changed much since Chu Ning first met her decades ago.

She still had the elegant demeanor of a beautiful lady.

The middle-aged cultivator with the surname Xiao was also among those who had left Snow Mist Valley before, which Chu Ning recognized.

Except, this person hadn’t stayed in Ice Island Immortal City before.

The two of them also cupped their hands towards Chu Ning, with a hint of surprise flashing across their faces again the next moment.

Wu Lingwei smiled, cupping her hands in response:

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist for advancing to the Golden Core Late Stage. The speed of your cultivation progress is truly astonishing."

Wu Lingwei’s words were not mere courtesy; they came from genuine amazement.

When she first met Chu Ning, he was at the Early Stage of Golden Core, and now, in less than forty years, he had reached the Golden Core Late Stage.

Such rapid cultivation progress she had never witnessed before.

Chu Ning looked towards Wu Lingwei and also cupped his hands:

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist. Your cultivation has also progressed considerably; you’re not far from forming a Nascent Soul, I presume."

With his sharp eyes, Chu Ning could see that Wu Lingwei had reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core Late Stage.

In other words, her Magical Power couldn’t progress further; it was just a matter of chance to form a Nascent Soul.

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Wu Lingwei chuckled and shook her head.

"Forming a Nascent Soul? It’s not that easy. It’s something one can only encounter by chance but not seek."

While they were chatting, Chu Ning’s gaze also fell on the middle-aged cultivator with the surname Sun beside them.
