Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 140 - 109: Secret Task Location (Part 2)

Moreover, when he observed the cultivation levels of a few people, the highest was merely at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, like the person who had spoken earlier.

The other servant disciples were all at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining.

Chu Ning maintained a calm expression, but a sudden thought flashed through his mind.

At this moment, he simply sat down with the others on the ground.

Soon after, a few more people arrived.

Once there were about twenty people gathered, the hook-nosed disciple of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, who had initially spoken with Chu Ning, slowly opened his mouth.

"Everyone who should be here is probably here now. Let’s show our identity tokens first."

As he spoke, this person reached into his robe and pulled out a bamboo token, much to the shock of Chu Ning.

Yin Demon Sect!

Chu Ning was utterly horrified upon seeing this bamboo token.

This bamboo token was exactly the same as the one he had obtained from Qi Chongmao.

It was the token of the Yin Demon Sect.

Following this person, the others also took out their bamboo tokens one after another.

When it was finally Chu Ning’s turn, he bit his teeth lightly and took out the bamboo token from his storage bag, the one he had stored away and hadn’t touched since.

"Good, it seems everyone has seen and there are no issues."

The hook-nosed young man spoke, his face becoming a bit more solemn.

"However, we must not be careless.

Cyan Creek Sect had long been aware that our sect was infiltrating, and the previous brothers were all planted with the Yin Demon Poison for identification.

But later, the members of Cyan Creek Sect discovered this, so we switched to these ordinary bamboo tokens, which can be easily destroyed if anything happens. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

This is how we successfully arrived at this land of the array formation."

He paused before continuing:

"Perhaps there were other unforeseen events on the way, otherwise, there would be more of our sect members than just us here.

My suggestion is to be even more cautious. After meeting each other today and recognizing one another, immediately destroy the identity tokens.

To avoid being accidentally discovered by members of Cyan Creek Sect, which would complicate matters."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others expressed their agreement.

Subsequently, everyone crushed the bamboo tokens in their hands, and immediately started to size each other up.

Chu Ning naturally also pretended to size up the others alongside them.

Meanwhile, the hook-nosed young man spoke once again:

"Now let’s exchange information. If anyone manages to get out, make sure to pass this information back to the sect.

I’ll start. My name is Duan Yuewu, and I came from the Artifact Refining Hall of the Outer Sect of Cyan Creek Sect.

Cyan Creek Sect has set up a Five Elements Qiankun Array in this forbidden land, and it’s likely as the sect predicted; they have indeed discovered a spirit seed here.

However, it’s unclear what attribute the spirit seed is, nor do we know the progress of extracting the spirit seed."

"Indeed, Cyan Creek Sect has been deploying so many Qi Refining disciples here over the years, all for this Five Elements Qiankun Array.

Yet, up till now, I haven’t figured out where the entrance to this forbidden land is."

"Back then, it seemed that I flew for a long time on a spiritual boat from the sect, so the entrance should be quite far from the sect.

Upon entering the forbidden land, I was transported to a cave, where there was a First Level High Tier Demon Beast. Had others not distracted it, I might not have reached here."

...

People started to speak one after another, and Chu Ning listened attentively, gathering all the information.

The entire context of the situation gradually formed a clear outline in his mind.

After meeting with several people earlier, Chu Ning had a vague suspicion that he might have arrived at the secret mission site of the Cyan Creek Sect.

Now it seemed that was indeed the case.

And the so-called secret mission of the Cyan Creek Sect should be the extraction of the spirit seed as mentioned by the Yin Demon Sect disciples.

These disciples came in to activate the large array known as the Five Elements Qiankun Array.

Because only Qi Refining disciples can enter this forbidden land, and driving the Five Elements Qiankun Array wasn’t easy, such a large number of Qi Refining disciples were needed to enter.

Moreover, upon entering, they would encounter various demon beasts and dangers, resulting in significant losses.

This is why Cyan Creek Sect periodically organized disciples to enter.

Furthermore, it seemed that there were benefits to activating the Five Elements Qiankun Array, as some disciples’ strength could greatly increase.

And these people were all reassigned by Cyan Creek Sect to become Inner Sect Disciples.

Although more details were unclear, Chu Ning finally gained some understanding of the secret mission within the sect.

As for the presence of Yin Demon Sect disciples here, it should be because they learned of this information from somewhere, which led to arranging such a large number of Qi Refining disciples to infiltrate.

Chu Ning even speculated that the previous actions of the Yin Demon Sect, targeting them and other market disciples, were likely related to this.

By killing some disciples of Cyan Creek Sect, their hidden disciples from Yin Demon Sect would have a higher chance of getting in?

And the higher-ups in the Cyan Creek Sect should have already seen through this plot, conducting identity checks on everyone before entering the forbidden land.

Some Yin Demon Sect disciples were likely discovered and eliminated directly.

However, these people used the simplest means to avoid detection.

From the words of these Yin Demon Sect disciples, Chu Ning heard that after entering the forbidden land, they spent a considerable amount of time before reaching the so-called array formation land.

After waiting for a period, they would finally be assigned to activate the Five Elements Qiankun Array.

"And you, what about your information? Why haven’t you said anything?"

At this moment, Duan Yuewu’s gaze fell on Chu Ning, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"I’m called..." Chu Ning opened his mouth, just about to make up something like the others had done earlier.
