Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 157 - 115: Sect Recruitment

Upon hearing the words of the Female Cultivator Zhang, Chu Ning felt somewhat disappointed.

Although he knew that treasures to enhance Divine Sense were hard to find, he was a bit dismayed that even a big store like Cloud Sea Pavilion didn’t have any.

Though he sighed inwardly, upon careful thought, he found it understandable.

After entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, cultivators have a demand for treasures that enhance Divine Sense, so even if someone managed to obtain such a treasure,

they generally wouldn’t take it to the market to sell.

The fundamental reason is simply that these items are extremely scarce.

However, upon hearing the next words from the Female Cultivator Zhang, Chu Ning curiously asked:

"What kind of item is it?"

"Soul-Stabilizing Bead!"

The Female Cultivator Zhang replied, then opened the jade box to reveal a dark bead inside.

"This bead can be used to resist attacks from ordinary ghostly Yin Spirits.

However, the user must be able to extend their Divine Sense, and it can only resist attacks from ghostly Yin Spirits at the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment Level."

After hearing this, Chu Ning pondered slightly.

Then he looked up and asked, "How many Spirit Stones for this bead?"

"Ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones." The Female Cultivator Zhang quoted a price that left Chu Ning somewhat stunned.

After hearing it, his expression couldn’t help but become a bit strange.

To defend against ghostly Yin Spirit type attacks, one would only use this item under specific circumstances.

Moreover, it has no defense against ghostly Yin Spirits above the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Level.

Hence, its effectiveness is quite ordinary.

It can only be used by Early Stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivators because usually, Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators cannot extend their Divine Sense at all, and who would be willing to spend ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones on this item?

No wonder the bead is still unsold here.

However, for himself, it might indeed be somewhat useful.

He can extend his Divine Sense, but reaching the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Level seems to be still somewhat distant.

As for defending against ghostly Yin Spirit type attacks...

Chu Ning’s thoughts stirred, and he inexplicably thought of the Yin Demon Sect.

This Demonic Sect likely has many such attack methods, and it may indeed be useful for some defense.

However, given its price and limited function, it truly is quite expensive.

As Chu Ning was thinking this, seeing Chu Ning’s expression, the Female Cultivator Zhang smiled and explained:

"Indeed, this item is priced a bit high, but since a fellow Daoist has entrusted us at Cloud Sea Pavilion to sell it, we can’t adjust the price easily."

As she spoke, the Female Cultivator Zhang opened the jade box and, seemingly casually, said:

"According to that Daoist, the bead comes from a set of Magical Treasures of an Ancient Cultivator.

And that predecessor not only had high cultivation but was also very adept with Divine Sense Secret Techniques.

That Daoist firmly believes this bead holds great value, and were it not for their recent need for a batch of Spirit Stones, they probably wouldn’t be selling the bead."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning couldn’t help but feel a bit curious and asked:

"Oh, does that Ancient Cultivator have a name?"

"The specific title is unknown, only known as Divine Dream Ascendant."

Upon hearing these four words, Divine Dream Ascendant, Chu Ning’s thoughts stirred.

However, his face remained expressionless as he said:

"That’s interesting. Didn’t the Daoist who possessed the Soul-Stabilizing Bead study it further to find any secrets?"

"Naturally, there was research." The Female Cultivator Zhang smiled.

"In fact, our pavilion also researched the bead, even requesting the late-stage Foundation Establishment seniors to examine it using Divine Sense.

No secrets were discovered. A higher-level senior did not specifically examine it."

Chu Ning nodded, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators had examined it.

Higher-level Golden Core cultivators might not have an interest in such a priced item.

Chu Ning quickly made a decision in his heart, but he still pondered a moment before slowly speaking:

"Let’s leave the bead for now. My elder is exactly at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, so they could use this bead.

I’ll check how many Spirit Stones I have left after buying other items, then decide whether to buy it."

"Okay, what else does the fellow Daoist wish to buy?"

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, the Female Cultivator Zhang didn’t mind, assuming Chu Ning was speaking casually.

She was more concerned about what Chu Ning himself wanted to buy, given that last time after selling talismans, he had bought quite a few items from her, so now her smile was a bit broader.

However, Chu Ning’s needs this time were not as abundant as he imagined.

Having already bought 3 bottles of Spiritual Essence Pill from Gu Xiaoqing, this time Chu Ning only bought 10 bottles, costing 2000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

As for Body Tempering Spirit Medicine, Chu Ning did not need any as he had Golden Orchid Fruit and Iron Blue Orchid Fruit.

Chu Ning had wanted to buy a Top Grade Defense Magical Artifact, but unfortunately, they are hard to come by, even Cloud Sea Pavilion cannot easily obtain them.

Chu Ning had to opt for purchasing Intermediate Talismans for protection and survival.

Last time, Chu Ning spent over a thousand Spirit Stones to buy Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans priced at 200 Spirit Stones each.

After thinking about it, Chu Ning felt that this defense level was not very secure.

For instance, if he encounters disciples from the Yin Demon Sect who wield Yin Demon Slash, or someone of higher level, this type of defense wouldn’t be sufficient.

As long as one’s cultivation realm reaches the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining or Perfect Realm, who doesn’t have a few good items at hand?

This time, Chu Ning opted to purchase Intermediate Middle Grade Talismans, which can already be akin to ordinary spells of Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
