Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Jiuyi Gold and Stellar Pollen Sand are crucial for refining the Golden Spirit Sword.

If the Black Profound Gold cannot be mixed in, at most, the magical treasure’s power might be slightly weaker.

The refining method recorded in the Five Elements Chaos Technique doesn’t even include such rare material as Black Profound Gold.

But without the Jiuyi Gold and Stellar Pollen Sand, it would be impossible to refine the Golden Spirit Sword.

"There are still nine months until the Snow Mist Valley opens, so it seems I’ll have to make a trip to Hidden Cloud Island first.

It’s a pity that Xiaobai is still in slumber. If it weren’t asleep, things like arrays wouldn’t restrict me much."

Chu Ning murmured, with a touch of resignation in his tone.

Yet, by the next morning, he had arrived in the Lower City, using the teleportation array to leave Ice Island Immortal City directly.

There are three relatively large landmasses in the Northern Cold Land, one of them being the Snow Peak Mountain Range, where Ice Island Immortal City is located.

To its south lies the vast Endless Sea.

To the west, across a strait, is the larger Sea Cloud Basin, which is even bigger than the Snow Peak Mountain Range and hosts several factions.

The largest faction among them is the Illusion Spirit Sect.

The sect houses several Nascent Soul Cultivators.

There are one or two teleportation arrays between each of the three landmasses in the Northern Cold Land, and there’s one between the Sea Cloud Basin and Ice Island Immortal City as well.

The teleportation arrays are managed by the three major factions, with the array in the Sea Cloud Basin located five hundred miles from Illusion Spirit Sect, in Haiyan City.

Chu Ning used the teleportation array to reach Haiyan City, where he stayed for three days, familiarizing himself with the area, buying a local sea chart, and then flew south.

The Sea Cloud Basin also connects to the Endless Sea, and its Inner Sea Region is significantly larger than Ice Island Immortal City’s.

There are many islands of various sizes that cultivators can use for cultivation, even more than in the Ice Island Immortal City area.

Among them, the larger islands are completely occupied by some sects.

The smaller islands are where some loose cultivators gather.

There are a few small islands where the spirit veins aren’t enough to support a sect, but their quality is decent, and they are occupied by some powerful Golden Core Cultivators.

Cloud Concealment Island is one of them.

Unlike other islands, although most islands have Golden Core Cultivators who occupy the most important cultivation spots, they still allow some low tier cultivators to reside on the island.

On Cloud Concealment Island, however, there is only one Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, Di Yan.

He doesn’t even have any disciples.

This adds a sense of mystery to the island, but due to Di Yan’s formidable strength and expertise in arrays,

not many cultivators are willing to cause trouble for him.

Chu Ning flew out of Haiyan City, traveling fifteen thousand miles until he arrived near an island shrouded in dense fog.

"This must be Cloud Concealment Island. The white fog on it doesn’t seem natural but formed under the long-term setup of an array.

It seems this person has covered the entire island with an array."

Thinking this, Chu Ning circled the irregularly shaped island, which was fifty miles long and about thirty miles wide, at a distance of a hundred feet.

After confirming there were no dead angles in all directions, he loudly called out:

"Excuse me, is Fellow Daoist Di on Cloud Concealment Island? I am a loose cultivator, Chu Ning, here to visit on an important matter.

Would Fellow Daoist Di please make an appearance and meet me?"

Chu Ning used his magical power for his voice, ensuring it reached every corner of Cloud Concealment Island.

However, there was no response from the island.

Not in a hurry, Chu Ning continued to loudly call out:

"Excuse me, is Fellow Daoist Di on Cloud Concealment Island? I am Chu Ning, here to visit on an important matter, and would like to meet you, Daoist."

After calling three times, there was still no response from the island.

Chu Ning didn’t speak further but patted an item, releasing a Golden Thunder Eagle from his Spirit Beast Bag.

He sat cross-legged on the Golden Thunder Eagle, commencing his cultivation straight away.

After all, there were still several months until the Snow Mist Valley opened, so he had plenty of time and was not in a rush.

After meditating on one Golden Thunder Eagle for half a day, Chu Ning retrieved it and released another.

Another half day passed, making it a full day since Chu Ning arrived here.

He once again shouted loudly toward the island three times,

but still, no one responded.

Undeterred, Chu Ning continued this way into the third day.

After repeating this process for five days, on the sixth day, as Chu Ning called out again,

a sudden, elderly voice rang out from the island.

"Hmph, you’re quite a noisy one, aren’t you?"

The tone was full of impatience.

Hearing this, Chu Ning was not offended but delighted.

He feared the person wouldn’t respond; as long as they spoke, there was always a chance for dialogue.

Immediately, Chu Ning loudly replied:

"Fellow Daoist Di, I heard there is Stellar Pollen Sand on this island and would like to seek some help with it. I hope you can assist."

"Stellar Pollen Sand? You’ve been waiting here for six days just for that?

Indeed, there is Stellar Pollen Sand on this island.

But I don’t know you, so why should I give it to you? I’m too busy to deal with you. Leave if you know what’s good for you."

The elderly voice sounded increasingly impatient.

Chu Ning, however, listened with eyes brightening.

Indeed, there was Stellar Pollen Sand here.

Thinking this, Chu Ning smiled and said, "We may not know each other, Fellow Daoist Di, but I do have some things with me.

If you’re willing to trade, I will certainly present something that satisfies you."

"Something that satisfies me?" Di Yan sneered.

"I don’t have many years left, do you happen to have a treasure that can extend lifespan?"
