Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chu Ning naturally also wanted to search for a look himself.

A few days ago, he unintentionally glanced at this Jade Scroll and discovered that it recorded, if the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly could promote to Tier Two Demon Beast.

It would not only have a keen sense for Spirit Medicine and Spirit Fruit, but also a sensitivity to gold attribute materials.

Given this, Chu Ning naturally wanted to think of ways to see if he could cultivate this Spirit Butterfly to a Tier Two Demon Beast.

This way, it might be able to assist him later.

After finishing the Jade Scroll, Chu Ning reached into the Spirit Beast Bag and released the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly.

"Cultivating this Spirit Butterfly is quite simple, the best food is the nectar of gold attribute Spirit Flowers.

Moreover, after consuming the nectar, the butterfly seems not to negatively affect the Spirit Plant."

The gold attribute Spirit Plants that Chu Ning brought from the Snow Peak Mountain Range could bloom in four varieties.

Thus, the Golden Spirit Butterfly would not worry about nectar shortage.

"However, this Jade Scroll only records the most basic cultivation methods, such as what to eat, how to better gather nectar, etc.

If there are specific methods that can aid its absorption of Spiritual Qi, perhaps the butterfly’s growth speed could be enhanced.

Chu Ning pondered, then retrieved the Jade Scroll originally obtained from Qi Guangshou of Jiuhua Sect from his Storage Bag.

He initially checked this Jade Scroll briefly in order to hatch the Golden Thunder Eagle, but did not study it in detail.

He vaguely recalled, besides methods for cultivating demon beasts, it also contained methods for cultivating spirit insects.

After a careful examination, Chu Ning indeed found a cultivation method for spirit insects within.

While it’s not profound knowledge, as it suits most spirit insects, Chu Ning felt it should also be effective for this butterfly.

He immediately approached the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly, now flying to a Spirit Plant bloom, observing its nectar feeding while studying the spells recorded in the cultivation method.

After noticing the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly finished gathering nectar and looked ready for a deep sleep.

Chu Ning promptly extended his hand, with a cluster of white light radiating from his palm.

He approached the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly directly, enveloping it.

Soon, the white light’s glow within Chu Ning’s palm started to wane.

Every bit of the white glow penetrated the body of the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly.

When the glow completely vanished, Chu Ning withdrew his hand and allowed the butterfly to regain its freedom.

The Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly, having eaten its fill, flew up again and landed on another bloom, beginning to gather nectar.

"It really worked!"

Seeing this scene, Chu Ning’s face lit up with a smile.

Since the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly could consume more nectar, naturally its growth speed would accelerate.

In the following three days, apart from usual Cultivation Method practice and the Golden Armor Divine Shadow Fist, Chu Ning spent his free time cultivating the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly.

Three days later, Chu Ning, along with Chang Lingshan, arrived outside Ice Island Immortal City as agreed.

Soon after, three more people arrived.

Among them was Han Shihong, and the other two were a middle-aged couple.

Chang Lingshan introduced them to Chu Ning, the man was He Yongzhi and the woman was Wu Rongfeng.

Both were Middle Stage of Golden Core Cultivators.

Chang Lingshan smiled at the group at this moment:

"Fellow Daoists, we are heading to the Outer Sea this time, and Fellow Daoist Kong wanted to avoid being noticed by too many people.

So he went ahead to the Central Sea Region to wait for us."

The Fellow Daoist Kong referred by Chang Lingshan was named Kong Yipeng, with a cultivation near the peak of Golden Core Late Stage.

Chu Ning had previously heard this information from him.

Now hearing Chang Lingshan say that Kong Yipeng had gone ahead to the Central Sea Region, Chu Ning was not surprised.

Cultivating to Kong Yipeng’s level, as a Loose Cultivator, he likely had some enemies within Ice Island Immortal City.

Such cautiousness might be due to concerns of intentional interference by others.

After all, if Kong Yipeng was leading five people together, anyone would realize they had intentions.

Five Middle Stage of Golden Core Cultivators together are noticeable, but it’s not uncommon for them to venture into the sea together.

Immediately, the group followed Chang Lingshan through a Teleportation Array to a large island within the Inner Sea.

They then flew toward the Central Sea Region together.

Endless Sea was vast, and regions grew larger as one headed outward.

Chu Ning had been to the Central Sea Region only a few times before, each time for hunting demon beasts to gather Demon Cores for alchemy.

However, even so, he had only explored about a tenth.

The area Chang Lingshan led them to was one Chu Ning hadn’t visited before.

After entering the Central Sea Region and flying for almost half a day, five people landed on a small island.

Chang Lingshan seemed to have some signal arrangement with Kong Yipeng, and once on the island, he flew southeast.

Chu Ning immediately released his Divine Sense to inspect, hoping to see the true face of Fellow Daoist Kong.

"Hmm, an array?"

However, as Chu Ning extended his Divine Sense in that direction.

He discovered an array was unexpectedly arranged on the island.

"Seems this Fellow Daoist Kong truly mastered the Path of Array."

Chu Ning thought to himself, choosing not to investigate further, and followed the group to fly outside the array.

After landing, Chang Lingshan activated a Talisman which fell into the array and shouted:

"Brother Kong, the assisting Fellow Daoists are here, please come out and meet them."

As Chang Lingshan’s words faded, the array restriction flickered, and a humble old man dressed in plain clothes appeared before the group.

Chu Ning’s gaze fell on him, slightly sensing his aura with a tentative assessment.

"A bit inferior to someone of Yu Changge’s caliber, but indeed stronger than Gong Yuyuan.

Comparable to He Feng and Tie Shi, and possibly Frost Moon Pavilion’s Wu Lingwei as well."

While Chu Ning pondered this, Kong Yipeng clasped his hands toward the group and spoke:

"Thanks to all Fellow Daoists for your assistance, I am sincerely grateful.

Fellow Daoist Chang must have informed each of you about the task. To alleviate any concerns, let me show you the reward for this journey.

I will then leave it with Fellow Daoist Chang; after the journey, it will be distributed to everyone."

Kong Yipeng was displaying sincerity, and he truly retrieved several items from his Storage Bag at this moment.

There were Artifact Refining Materials, Spirit Medicine, and Elixirs.

Chu Ning’s gaze fell on the dark golden Spirit Wood in Kong Yipeng’s hand.

"Golden Goblet Wood!"

Chu Ning immediately recognized this piece as the Golden Goblet Wood he desired, and his eyes brightened slightly.

At this moment, Kong Yipeng addressed Chang Lingshan:

"Fellow Daoist Chang, have you previously discussed how these treasures would be divided?"

"It’s already been arranged!"

Chang Lingshan answered, accepting each item from Kong Yipeng.

The Elixir was given to Han Shihong, and an elixir and an Artifact Refining Material were distributed to the couple, He Yongzhi and Wu Rongfeng.

Then he handed the piece of Golden Goblet Wood to Chu Ning, while keeping a jade bottle of something for himself.

The value of the items didn’t differ much, and having obtained the Golden Goblet Wood, Chu Ning was not too keen on their allocation.

Holding the Golden Goblet Wood and sensing it well, he found its quality quite high.

He nodded in satisfaction.

The rest of the group felt similarly, and after inspecting, they had no objections and all returned items to Chang Lingshan.

Chang Lingshan cheerfully placed everything back into his Storage Bag.

"Then I’ll hold onto these items for now, and after our task, I will distribute them among Fellow Daoists."

Kong Yipeng then produced five Dharma Banners from his Storage Bag, distributing one to each person.

"The island where the Gold and Silver Bird resides is approximately five thousand miles from here. Once we arrive, I shall set up an array.

You will follow my signal to activate your Dharma Banners and assist in slaying this demon."

Saying this, Kong Yipeng taught the group how to manipulate the array with these Dharma Banners.

As Chu Ning listened to the method while holding a Dharma Banner, he was slightly surprised.

"This is unexpectedly a thunder element array; since we all wield Five Elements attribute Magical Power.

It seems there must be a magic disc or some artifact on Kong Yipeng’s person capable of unleashing thunder attacks."

This was Chu Ning’s first encounter with such an array; however, possessing an array spirit body with the capability to parse array sources, he understood it quickly.

But, he remained discreet, listening with the group as Kong Yipeng completed his explanations.

The method of manipulating the Dharma Banner wasn’t complex, and after Kong Yipeng went over it twice, ensuring everyone could use it.

He immediately led the group, flying toward the Outer Sea.
