Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

In just the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared into the sky.

Leaving only Meng Ling standing there in a daze for a moment, then he sighed lightly and turned to return to the valley.

"Young master, you really are something else, another female cultivator has thrown herself at you, and you refused so decisively."

A hundred miles outside Divine Sound Valley, Bai Ling was released from the Spirit Beast Bag by Chu Ning. After hearing what Chu Ning had been through on this mission, she instantly burst into laughter.

Previously in Divine Sound Valley, considering the presence of a Nascent Soul Cultivator,

Chu Ning did not release Bai Ling, so she naturally didn’t know what had happened.

Now, after he roughly recounted the events, Bai Ling couldn’t help but giggle.

Chu Ning’s expression appeared quite strange as well.

He had never expected that Wu Rongfeng’s solemn message through Chang Lingshan was a matchmaking proposal.

Though the purpose of this trip seemed somewhat absurd, the rewards were not bad.

Not only did he unexpectedly acquire a Cold Marrow Bead and a top-level Defensive Magic Robe.

He also gathered all the materials needed for refining the Water Spirit Sword.

Having also collected all the necessary materials to set up an array, he could now return to the island and concentrate on secluded cultivation.

Days later, Chu Ning returned via the Lower City Teleportation Array in Ice Island Immortal City and then flew to the nameless island.

"This island usually has few cultivators, so why are there suddenly so many?"

From a distance, Chu Ning sensed that there were indeed cultivators on the island, and not just a few, but five or six, causing his brow to furrow slightly.

When Chu Ning released his Divine Sense to probe their actions, his brow furrowed even more.

Among these six people, four were Qi Refining Cultivators, and two were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, both at the Middle Stage.

At this moment, the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were using an Array Breaking Talisman to dismantle the remnants of an old array.

The array originally on the island wasn’t very advanced and had been quite damaged.

The talismans used by those two Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators were quite potent, and the array restriction was nearly broken.

Chu Ning didn’t mind the breaking of the Illusion Array, but if the Hidden Spirit Vein inside were discovered, it would complicate matters.

With this thought, Chu Ning turned into a blazing light, flying straight toward the island.

Landing on the island, Chu Ning immediately used the Spirit Earth Shadow Escape Technique to quickly burrow into the Illusion Array.

On the outskirts of the Illusion Array, the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were at the final stage of breaking it with their talismans.

The expressions on the few cultivators’ faces revealed curiosity.

The array was on the verge of being breached when a cold voice rang out.

"Get out!!"

Upon hearing this voice, the expressions of those present changed slightly.

The faces of the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators flashed with anger just as they were about to speak.

The next moment, a powerful Divine Sense swept over them, accompanied by an aura that made their hearts tremble.

"A Golden Core Cultivator!"

The eldest cultivator was the first to react, immediately bowing and saying,

"We juniors were unaware of the senior cultivating here and have offended you. We will leave now."

With that, the cultivator gestured, hastily leading the other five away.

"It seems I should expedite the array setup."

As the group left, Chu Ning emerged from the Illusion Array and softly murmured.

He then immediately sprang into action.

Chu Ning was immensely familiar with this island and had long since refined the Array Disc and Array Banner.

He placed the Array Disc at the site of the Hidden Spirit Vein underground, then inserted the Array Banners at various positions around the island.

He began burying different Magic Discs he had refined at various spots on the island.

Though his Array Spirit Body had been honed over decades, it was his first time setting up such a wide-ranging array.

The array combined the foundational array knowledge passed to him by Cen Zijin and insights from the Jiuhua Sect.

The Jiuhua Sect had unique array traditions, with three main lineage arrays known for either their formidable defense or devastating power.

More importantly, Chu Ning integrated the array tradition from Di Yan on Celestial Curtain Continent and some insights from Di Yan.

When Di Yan lived on an island himself, it was much larger than Chu Ning’s, providing valuable examples for Chu Ning’s array methods.

However, Chu Ning was more focused and avoided unnecessary complexity.

Even so, it was not an easy task.

After spending several days,

Chu Ning finally placed each of the array formation tools, making his way once more to the location of the array disc at the Hidden Spirit Vein.

With a gesture, he held an Array Banner.

Chu Ning then cast several spells upon the Array Banner with both hands.

The banner flew out, landing directly on the array disc.

In the next moment, the spiritual qi within the Hidden Spirit Vein began to pour into the array disc endlessly.

Witnessing this, Chu Ning’s silhouette flickered, reappearing above ground before flying out of the island.

He then observed as the entire island began gathering spiritual qi from its surroundings.

Gradually, white mist coalesced within the island, and before long, the island was shrouded in thick fog.

Even Chu Ning’s Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate the array restriction to view the scene inside.

Yet, Chu Ning was evidently not content with just this.

With a slap of his hand, more Array Banners appeared in his grasp. Using the Divine Splitting Technique, Chu Ning activated the banners and drove them toward various corners of the island.

The array banners scattered to different parts of the island, varying in distance, but with Chu Ning’s Divine Splitting Technique, they all accurately landed on their respective Magic Discs simultaneously.

In the next instant, the white mist throughout the island rippled and gradually faded to invisibility.

When all the mist vanished, the island—spanning tens of miles—also disappeared, hidden from view!

Chu Ning released his Divine Sense to explore a bit further, then a smile appeared on his face.

"Unless there’s an Array Master or Nascent Soul Cultivator, this island is undetectable. It seems I can finally cultivate in peace."

Murmuring softly, Chu Ning’s figure flickered, transforming into a shadow in the sky, and disappeared within the array.
