Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

"It seems Xiaobai is about to finish his promotion."

Chu Ning’s eyes revealed a hint of a smile, and when he returned to his Cultivation Room, that smile only grew brighter.

This journey was indeed quite perilous.

However, for Chu Ning, the rewards were truly considerable.

Casually setting up a Barrier, Chu Ning took out a heap of items from his Storage Bag.

The various Spirit Medicines and high-level materials he found along the way were as many as dozens, with some in significant quantities.

After looking through them, Chu Ning immediately categorized them.

He kept those he could use for Alchemy, while the rest he packed in the Storage Bag, intending to exchange them at the Frost Moon Pavilion.

At this moment, Chu Ning’s gaze fell upon three items.

The first to catch his eye was the Nine Rites Gold, emitting a golden glow.

"Finally, the materials for refining the Golden Spirit Sword are complete!"

Chu Ning’s gaze carried a smile, then landed on a mass of four-colored light.

It was precisely the Earth Vein Essence Fire sealed by Chu Ning.

"Before refining the Golden Spirit Sword, I can try refining this Essence Fire first.

If successful, not only would it allow me to retrieve the Black Profound Gold, but the entire process of refining the Golden Spirit Sword would become easier."

Murmuring softly, his gaze finally landed on a Jade Box sealed with a Talisman.

"The Spiritual Clarity Fruit!"

If the Nine Rites Gold was something inevitably needed, and the Earth Vein Essence Fire a pleasant surprise,

then the Spiritual Clarity Fruit was truly an unexpected windfall.

Chu Ning really hadn’t expected to acquire such a treasure right before leaving the valley.

"However, as the Black Death Demon mentioned, its current Spirit Infant form is merely an immature stage of this Spiritual Clarity Fruit.

It seems that to consume this item, one must wait for it to mature.

I wonder how this Spirit Fruit will be if it matures?"

Chu Ning muttered to himself, initially planning to plant the Spiritual Clarity Fruit outside immediately.

Based on his previous experience with planting the Snow Crystal Ganoderma, this fruit shouldn’t be able to escape either.

Nevertheless, he reconsidered and decided against it.

"In the next couple of days, I still need to venture out to investigate the situation and see how things are in the valley.

Meanwhile, this Earth Vein Essence Fire can be tried for refinement first."

Thinking this way, Chu Ning repacked the Jade Box containing the Spiritual Clarity Fruit and the Nine Rites Gold back into the Storage Bag.

Leaving out only the Earth Vein Essence Fire, along with a rather small Storage Bag.

This was the Storage Bag that had fallen from Tantai Song.

Opening the Storage Bag, Chu Ning found only two items inside: a small yellow Jade Scroll

and a chilling cyan-white Jade Bead.

The cyan-white Jade Bead was unrecognizable to Chu Ning at the moment, but the yellow Jade Scroll made his eyes glimmer with a subtle brightness.

The Jade Scroll had an ancient design, with an aura that felt familiar to Chu Ning.

It was somewhat similar to that of the Ancient Small Seal.

Immediately, Chu Ning probed it with his Divine Sense.

"The Yellow Court Seal!"

Upon seeing the contents recorded in the Jade Scroll, a smile appeared on Chu Ning’s face.

This Jade Scroll indeed recorded the Driving Technique for something called the Yellow Court Seal.

"Tantai Song left a special imprint within the seal that could be sensed using a Secret Technique."

Having finished reading the Jade Scroll, Chu Ning’s brow slightly twitched.

He felt secretly relieved, thankful for having refined a few special Storage Bags in advance.

Otherwise, in the depths of the Snow Mist Valley, being so close together, he could truly have been detected by sensing the position of the Yellow Court Seal.

Chu Ning took out the seal and followed the method recorded in the Jade Scroll, quickly sensing a Magical Power imprint.

Since the imprint was created using this Yellow Court Seal’s special Secret Technique, even with Chu Ning’s Cultivation, removing the imprint left by Tantai Song wouldn’t be an easy task.

"Whether Tantai Song survived and returned from the Snow Mist Valley isn’t certain, but if he did come to Ice Island Immortal City and happened to use that special Secret Technique,

studying this now, without removing the imprint, might indeed allow him to sense the location of this item."

As this thought crossed his mind, Chu Ning promptly and cautiously stored the Yellow Court Seal and the Jade Scroll into his specially made Storage Bag.

Considering that Tantai Song wasn’t able to detect while at the Snow Mist Valley,

theoretically, he shouldn’t be able to sense or detect anything now either.

Erasing the imprint should wait until he has fully grasped the method detailed in the Jade Scroll, to be addressed safely in the future.

Of course, the gains of this journey weren’t limited to just that.

One of Chu Ning’s Storage Bags also contained nearly twenty Demon Beast corpses.

Some were slain along the journey,

while the majority were killed at the valley entrance.

These Demon Beasts were different from those Chu Ning hunted on the island earlier.

Back then, Chu Ning didn’t want to invite trouble and therefore dismantled them into various materials.

But this batch of Demon Beasts, he could now openly sell at the Frost Moon Pavilion.

Many had seen him slay the Demon Beasts, so hiding it was impossible anyway.

Selling whole Demon Beast corpses would surely fetch a higher price, so Chu Ning wasn’t in a hurry to deal with them now.

His gaze returned to the sealed Earth Vein Essence Fire.

At this moment, it was the only thing left for Chu Ning to handle.

Chu Ning floated the sealed Earth Vein Essence Fire in front of him, continuously forming Hand Seals with his hands.

He chanted various intricate and esoteric Spells once again.

Soon, a radiant Talismanic Rune materialized before Chu Ning.

Then, Chu Ning opened his mouth and spat, merging a drop of Essence Blood into the Talismanic Rune.
