Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 159 - 115: Sect Recruitment

Instead, he began to carefully sense the interior of the Soul-Stabilizing Bead using his Divine Sense.

This exploration lasted for nearly half an hour.

Until Chu Ning felt his Divine Sense was significantly depleted, yet there were no other discoveries, he finally stopped.

Furrowing his brows slightly, Chu Ning casually took out a Jade Scroll from his Storage Bag.

This Jade Scroll was the one Chu Ning had obtained from Qi Chongmao, recording the incomplete Jade Scroll of the Refining Spirit Technique.

After scanning the Jade Scroll, Chu Ning saw four small characters after the name of the Refining Spirit Technique.

Divine Dream Ascendant.

Indeed, what truly prompted Chu Ning to purchase this Soul-Stabilizing Bead, aside from its temporary utility, was that the Female Cultivator Zhang mentioned the title Divine Dream Ascendant during casual conversation.

And Chu Ning remembered clearly that the same name was engraved on this Jade Scroll.

However, Chu Ning was uncertain whether the Jade Scroll mentioned Divine Dream Ascendant, meaning this Refining Spirit Technique was created by him or merely recorded by him.

Nonetheless, upon learning this Soul-Stabilizing Bead was somehow related to Divine Dream Ascendant, Chu Ning decisively resolved to buy it without hesitation.

Chu Ning initially thought that since this Soul-Stabilizing Bead was connected to Divine Dream Ascendant, maybe after cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique he could find some clues within.

However, after probing for a while, Chu Ning had to abandon this thought.

"When using Divine Sense to operate the Soul-Stabilizing Bead, the interior can be fully explored, yet there’s no anomaly.

It seems my guess that I could obtain some useful information was wishful thinking."

He sighed lightly and put the Soul-Stabilizing Bead back into the Small Jade Box, then placed it into his Storage Bag.

Fortunately, the Soul-Stabilizing Bead has other effects.

It can ward off attacks from ghostly Yin Spirits, though the price of ten thousand Spirit Stones was indeed high, but at least it wasn’t entirely wasted.

At the same time, Chu Ning harbored a slight hope

that this Soul-Stabilizing Bead had other nuances, just undiscovered by him.

At this moment, Chu Ning’s gaze fell onto a nearby Middle Grade Spirit Stone.

Only holding it slightly to feel, Chu Ning quickly sensed the rich Spiritual Qi inside.

"This Middle Grade Spirit Stone is worth 100 pieces of Lower Grade Spirit Stone, but the density of its Spiritual Qi being a hundredfold is somewhat exaggerated."

Chu Ning mumbled to himself.

"I wonder, if used for cultivation, how effective it would be."

Thinking this way, Chu Ning first took out some Lower Grade Spirit Stones and began cultivating the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique.

Upon reaching the eighth layer of Qi Refining, Chu Ning’s speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi increased further.

One Lower Grade Spirit Stone was quickly consumed, Chu Ning paused and picked up another.

This continued until he absorbed ten Lower Grade Spirit Stones, then he stopped.

"Ten Lower Grade Spirit Stones increased one point of Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique proficiency, entering the eighth layer of Qi Refining, indeed harder than the seventh layer.

The seventh layer required just six Lower Grade Spirit Stones, now I need to test the effects of the Spiritual Essence Pill and Middle Grade Spirit Stone."

Chu Ning first cultivated the Refining Spirit Technique to buffer, then took a Spiritual Essence Pill.

After experimenting, Chu Ning reached a conclusion.

Indeed, after entering the eighth layer of Qi Refining, the effects of the Spiritual Essence Pill aren’t as good as during the seventh layer.

Previously, one Spiritual Essence Pill could increase proficiency by three points, now only two.

A day later, after the Market closed, Chu Ning resumed his cultivation.

This time, Chu Ning held a Middle Grade Spirit Stone.

He cultivated for a day and a half until the Middle Grade Spirit Stone in his hand turned to dust, then Chu Ning slowly opened his eyes.

[Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique (Yellow Tier Lower Grade), Third Layer (612/2100)]

Seeing the proficiency of his Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique, Chu Ning’s gaze revealed a trace of joy.

The cultivation effect of the Middle Grade Spirit Stone exceeded his expectations.

He indeed spent a day and a half, but the effect was excellent, the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique proficiency increased by a full nine points.

Equivalent to using 90 pieces of Lower Grade Spirit Stones at once for cultivation.

But, the time was saved by half a day.

On the previous day using Lower Grade Spirit Stones for cultivation, Chu Ning already felt his daily maximum was around 50 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

And because of interruptions in cultivation, Chu Ning also needed to waste some time.

However, using Middle Grade Spirit Stones allows cultivation in one go.

"Daily cultivation mixes Spiritual Essence Pills and Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill, while waiting for Golden Spirit Fruit to mature.

Though for breakthroughs, Middle Grade Spirit Stones could be chosen for cultivation."

Chu Ning showed a smile.

Using Middle Grade Spirit Stones for daily cultivation was not feasible, firstly because he only had about sixty pieces, not plenty.

Secondly, there are market days for Talisman sales, plus each day requires time in the Spirit Field to cultivate Golden Orchid Fruit.

He couldn’t devote all time and effort to Qi Refining, Body Refinement and Spirit Refining need to keep pace.

In the following three months, Chu Ning mainly focused on talisman making, cultivation, and farming.

During these three months, all of Chu Ning’s cultivation techniques steadily improved, and his Talisman Making Technique became increasingly refined.

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Field, the cultivation of Golden Orchid Fruit was very successful.

The Spirit Plant itself grew well, hence the flowering and fruiting time of the Golden Orchid Fruit was greatly compressed.

Three batches, a total of two hundred Iron Stem Orchids, all bore Golden Orchid Fruit.

Once Golden Orchid Fruit grew, it absorbed Spiritual Qi rapidly, and the effect of Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill in hastening maturity was excellent.

The first batch of Golden Orchid Fruit matured directly and was harvested, precisely those twenty Iron Stem Orchids that previously bore Golden Orchid Fruit.

Moreover, the second batch of eighty Iron Stem Orchids were also close to maturing Golden Orchid Fruit.

Only the third batch of Iron Stem Orchids planted later may take another one or two months.

Just as Chu Ning was smoothly cultivating and farming, Lin Changqing’s appearance disrupted his plans.

Furthermore, the news Lin Changqing brought was even more shocking to Chu Ning.
