Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chu Ning muttered to himself silently.

Then he returned to the Cultivation Room and habitually formed a Barrier Restriction.

Only then did he take out two items from the Storage Bag.

One was the Jade Box containing Star Core Sand obtained from Di Yan.

The other was the Ancient Small Seal he got from Tantai Song.

Opening the Star Core Sand and taking a look, a hint of a smile appeared in Chu Ning’s eyes.

"The amount of this Star Core Sand is enough to refine five Golden Spirit Swords.

Now, for the Alchemy Spirit Sword, the only material left is the Nine Rites Gold."

Chu Ning placed it with the previously collected Golden Goblet Wood and other materials.

Then he took the Ancient Small Seal in his hand.

"Ancient Treasure!"

Looking at this Ancient Small Seal, Chu Ning’s gaze flickered slightly.

Although he hadn’t yet witnessed the true power of this Ancient Small Seal due to the previous eruption of the Power of the Earth Veins,

at that time, the power emanating from the Ancient Small Seal had already made Chu Ning feel it posed a great threat.

He was quite certain if the Ancient Small Seal had truly launched an attack at that time.

It might have been the strongest attack he’d faced since entering the Cultivation Realm.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning sensed it slightly.

There was no Refinement mark detected inside it.

Suddenly, he injected Magical Power towards the Ancient Seal.

"No reaction?"

Chu Ning could clearly feel his Magical Power had been injected into the Ancient Seal.

However, this Ancient Small Seal showed no response.

Chu Ning lightly furrowed his brow and began to increase the injection of Magical Power.

What slightly frustrated Chu Ning was that this Ancient Small Seal seemed like a bottomless pit; no matter how much Magical Power he poured in, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Without any reaction.

It wasn’t until he had injected up to 80% of his Magical Power that Chu Ning finally stopped.

"It seems that with my current Magical Power strength, I still can’t drive this Small Seal."

Chu Ning muttered softly and recalled the Profound Mysterious Technique used by Tantai Song when he drove it back then.

He vaguely guessed that if he wanted to drive this Ancient Treasure during the Golden Core Stage,

he might need a specialized Spell to do so.

And even with that Spell, using the Small Seal might not be so easy.

Otherwise, Tantai Song wouldn’t have waited until the last moment when he was forced to deploy this Ancient Small Seal.

With this thought in mind, Chu Ning had no choice but to put the Ancient Small Seal back into the Storage Bag with a trace of regret.

Originally, he thought that if he could have such a significant treasure in hand,

his means of protecting his life would have increased.

Now it seemed there wasn’t much hope for that at the moment.

"The urgent matter is to see if I can acquire Nine Rites Gold within the next six months.

Otherwise, I might really have to venture into the Snow Mist Valley when it opens to search for it."

Chu Ning muttered to himself as he took out a pile of items from the Storage Bag again.

These were the array Scriptures and Array Materials obtained from Di Yan.

These array Scriptures collected and sorted by Di Yan were what Chu Ning had been comprehending over the past two months.

One had to admit that the centuries of collection and research by this Golden Core Late Stage Peak Cultivator indeed had its unique insights.

Chu Ning had previously encountered some Sect Heritage Arrays from Jiuhua Sect.

This Di Yan might have acquired some sect heritage from the Celestial Curtain Continent, and the profoundness of some arrays was no less than the heritage of ancient sects like Jiuhua Sect.

However, perhaps limited by his own strength and the lack of resources as a Loose Cultivator,

Di Yan’s research was more focused on smaller arrays, with relatively less study on large arrays similar to sect grand arrays.

And this, in turn, suited Chu Ning’s needs better.

What he needed now were some small arrays.

At this moment, Chu Ning was looking at one of them.

"Cloud Thunder Array, harnessing the power of thunder and lightning with the array for one’s own use.

With enough Thunderbolt Power absorbed, the size of the Thunderbolt Power can be adjusted freely according to one’s needs.

If Thunder Stones can be purchased, they can also be directly used to drive the array.

The reason why the thunder zone in the array on Cloud Concealment Island, where Di Yan was, had such great power was that it contained numerous Thunder Stones."

The last two days, Chu Ning specifically searched through the numerous Array Materials given by Di Yan.

Unfortunately, he could not find any Thunder Stones.

The reason for wanting to set up this array was naturally because Thunderbolt Tempering had been beneficial for Chu Ning.

With a slight turn of his mind, Chu Ning was already checking his cultivation proficiency in his mind.

[Five Elements Chaos Technique (Celestial Tier Middle Grade), Second Layer (4048/100000)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume Two, Second Layer (25345/90000)]

[Refining Spirit Technique, Fourth Layer (57525/64000)]

With the help of Thunderbolt Power for Body Tempering on Cloud Concealment Island, and refining the accumulated Thunderbolt Power in the body in the subsequent two months,

Chu Ning’s Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique increased by 1200 points.

This speed of improvement once again accelerated the previously slowed Body Refinement.

"It looks like in the next six months, I’ll need to visit the Market, Frost Moon Pavilion, and various other Markets more often."

Chu Ning muttered to himself.

After putting away all the items, he took out the Snow Crystal Ganoderma and went outside to plant it in the Spirit Medicine Garden.

If there’s any inconvenience about going out now, it’s regarding this Snow Crystal Ganoderma.

Being out for two months, this Snow Crystal Ganoderma, stored in the Jade Box, couldn’t condense Spiritual Liquid, which was a considerable loss for Chu Ning.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Chu Ning’s gaze fell on the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly flying in the Medicinal Garden.
