Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 138 - 108: Accidentally Entering a Restriction
Chu Ning put the Earth Spirit Bracelet on his left hand and the Blazing Flame Bracelet, used for attacks, on his right hand.
At this moment, he had already come up with a plan that complemented his existing attack methods.
Long-distance attacks were naturally easier; when there wasn’t a chance to use the Divine Wood Longbow, he could use the magical artifact to emit a Fire Blade.
And if the enemy got closer, or if he approached the opponent using Thunder Shock Step,
he could try to first activate the Blazing Flame Bracelet to break through the opponent’s defenses with the Fiery Flame.
Then follow up with the Celestial Spirit Fist, which would undoubtedly increase the attack’s power.
At the same time, Chu Ning took out a few Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans given by Liao Yunming.
It was just as Liao Yunming had said; there were talismans of various attributes.
Chu Ning was quite satisfied with them and carefully put them away one by one.
However, when he picked up the so-called Spirit Plant Seeds that were supposedly sent by He Changyou, Chu Ning couldn’t help but purse his lips.
This time, Steward He wasn’t generous at all.
Seeds like those of the Golden Essence Fruit were quite nice for him before visiting Yan Workshop.
But now, they held little attraction for Chu Ning.
Apparently, the steward of the Spirit Plant Room underestimated Chu Ning’s current possessions and abilities.
Chu Ning stored these items in his Storage Bag and, having nowhere else to go for the time being, simply returned to his room and started cultivating.
This place didn’t have a Spirit Plant to aid cultivation with the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill, but fortunately, Chu Ning still had Spiritual Essence Pills on him, so it wasn’t much of an issue.
After ingesting one Spiritual Essence Pill, Chu Ning cultivated for a small half a day, stopping only when he fully absorbed the pill’s effects.
Not in the mood to cook, Chu Ning took a Grain Avoidance Pill and had some Spirit Fruit before continuing his cultivation.
Practicing Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique, Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, and Refining Spirit Technique alternately was not dull.
He continued cultivating until evening, and when he finally finished another round of Refining Spirit Technique,
Chu Ning attempted to release his Divine Sense, discovering that it could now vaguely extend to a distance of eight zhang, leaving him quite satisfied.
The very next moment, Chu Ning’s expression changed slightly.
Little Ling Xiaobai was nowhere to be found.
He had been cultivating all day, and Chu Ning habitually left Ling Xiaobai in the courtyard.
But now, it was nowhere to be seen.
Chu Ning hurriedly left his room and searched the courtyard thoroughly, but still couldn’t find it.
Looking out of the yard, his eyes filled with worry.
"Could that little troublemaker be causing some mischief somewhere?"
Just as Chu Ning was considering this, Ling Xiaobai popped back inside the courtyard through the restriction. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Chu Ning let out a small sigh of relief.
But the very next moment, his eyes widened in shock.
Ling Xiaobai was trotting over with a red Spirit Fruit, almost half the size of a fist, clamped in its mouth.
"Where... where did you get this from?"
Looking at the little guy, Chu Ning suddenly felt a headache coming on.
This was inside the sect; any Spirit Fruit must have been grown by some elder, and now Ling Xiaobai had just stolen one back...
Chu Ning rushed forward and snatched the Spirit Fruit from Ling Xiaobai’s mouth.
Then he anxiously asked, "Did you eat any of it?"
"Eep!" Ling Xiaobai shook its head.
"Good, that’s a relief." Chu Ning let out a small sigh of relief.
"Quickly return it now."
But Ling Xiaobai chirped at Chu Ning instead.
"Let’s go together, there’s no one there."
No one? Chu Ning’s brows furrowed. Could it be that an elder was out?
"Eep-eeep!"
Ling Xiaobai chirped a few more times.
With the little guy’s telepathic hints, Chu Ning took a moment, asked a few questions, and finally understood what it meant to convey.
Ling Xiaobai explained that it obtained the Spirit Fruit from a mountain in the direction with a richer concentration of Spiritual Qi, which it mentioned yesterday, and that the place wasn’t anyone’s Cave Mansion nor did it have any Spirit Fields.
In fact, it was a vast mountain range.
However, hearing Ling Xiaobai suggesting he go there,
Chu Ning shook his head and said:
"Forget it, since it’s within the sect, we better not wander in there recklessly.
Since you found the Spirit Fruit, you can have it."
Saying so, Chu Ning tossed the Spirit Fruit back to Ling Xiaobai.
"Eep!"
Ling Xiaobai chirped, grabbing the fruit but didn’t eat it right away.
Instead, it swiftly dashed out.
"Xiaobai." Seeing this, Chu Ning immediately called out.
But Ling Xiaobai ignored him, running even faster outside.
Seeing this, Chu Ning urgently chased after it.
Ling Xiaobai was already far ahead.
Ever since it advanced to a Tier One Advanced Demon Beast, its speed had increased significantly.
Chu Ning, with his cultivation at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining, found himself completely unable to catch up using Wind Control.
Not even the Beast Trapping Talisman had enough range to stop it.
The use of Flying Magical Artifacts was forbidden within the Outer Sect.
Right now, Chu Ning could only curse inwardly as he used Wind Control to chase after it.
Fortunately, it was nighttime, and there were not many people outside.
Even the stewards from various halls had likely returned to the Inner Sect, so the two weren’t spotted.
They reached the edge of the Outer Sect, where Ling Xiaobai finally stopped.
"Eep!"
The Spirit Fruit was already in its belly by now.
Ling Xiaobai chimed to Chu Ning and communicated telepathically.
"A restriction?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning wasn’t surprised; it was likely the sect’s protective barrier.
After all, beyond this point, they were outside the Mountain Gate range.
With this in mind, Chu Ning immediately telepathically told Ling Xiaobai:
"Alright, since this is a sect’s restriction, we shouldn’t tamper with it. Let’s go back."
Saying this, Chu Ning squatted down, reaching to grab the little one.
At that moment, a flash of white light burst from the top of Ling Xiaobai’s head, enveloping Chu Ning.
The next instant, Ling Xiaobai lunged forward.
Together with Chu Ning, encapsulated in the white light, they dashed into the restriction.
