Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 160 - 116: Spirit Cultivation Technique Breakthrough, Frightening Off a Foundation Establishment Cultivator
"Summoning us back to the Sect?"
Chu Ning and Lu Miaoying were a little surprised upon hearing the news.
Chu Ning keenly noticed that Lin Changqing did not call Gu Xiaoqing and Shen Zhengquan, but only him and Lu Miaoying.
So, he immediately asked,
"Steward, is it just the two of us? Don’t Senior Sister Gu and Senior Brother Shen need to go?"
"They don’t need to." Lin Changqing shook his head.
"The Sect specifically summoned you two this time."
Chu Ning lightly frowned, but felt a sense of foreboding in his heart that something was about to happen.
Now, he showed a cultivation level of the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining, while Lu Miaoying was at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining.
Why would the Sect summon two lower-level disciples, leaving out Gu Xiaoqing at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining and Shen Zhengquan at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining?
Thinking of this, Chu Ning directly asked, "Steward, does the Sect say what it’s about?"
Having built a good relationship with Lin Changqing over one or two years, Chu Ning tried to get some information from him.
However, to Chu Ning’s disappointment, Lin Changqing simply shook his head and said,
"No!"
Then, this cold-faced Steward continued,
"The previous message from the Sect is that you are to be taken back soon. I still have to go to two other markets to gather people.
So, pack up your things, and I’ll pick up the others. I’ll come here to get you two together tomorrow morning."
With that, Lin Changqing turned and left directly.
Chu Ning thought Lin Changqing might communicate privately to tell him something, but that didn’t happen.
Lin Changqing left swiftly, leaving Chu Ning full of questions.
Of course, Lu Miaoying beside him was the same.
"Junior Brother Chu, why is the Sect in such a hurry to summon us back?"
Lu Miaoying showed no significant change in expression, instead appearing quite curious.
Chu Ning shook his head and said to Lu Miaoying,
"Senior Sister Lu, we better pack our stuff first. The time frame isn’t certain; I need to head to the Spirit Field."
As Chu Ning spoke, he headed out.
Lu Miaoying couldn’t stay longer in Chu Ning’s Talisman Workshop, so she also left.
Once outside, Chu Ning flew straight towards the Spirit Field.
On the way, he kept thinking about this odd news.
What do he and Lu Miaoying have in common that would cause the Sect to summon them?
But after thinking about it, aside from having low cultivation levels and both practicing Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques, Chu Ning couldn’t think of anything else.
As he arrived in the Spirit Field, Chu Ning decided not to think about it anymore.
Instead, he began picking his second batch of mature Golden Orchid Fruits.
This batch had a total of 80 plants, each flowering and bearing a good number of fruits, altogether around 300 fruits.
After picking, Chu Ning looked at the remaining hundred Iron Stem Orchids and those Golden Essence Fruits about to mature, sighing softly.
They too have borne Golden Orchid Fruits, but they are not yet mature, and picking them now is pointless.
And the Golden Essence Fruits still need about half a month to mature.
Hopefully, the time away in the Sect won’t be too long, so he can come back to pick all these Spirit Fruits.
At this moment, Chu Ning didn’t feel like using any Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill, leaving the Spirit Field and returning to the Market.
When he reached his shop, Chu Ning saw Lu Miaoying talking with Gu Xiaoqing and Shen Zhengquan across the street.
No need for guessing, Chu Ning knew that Lu Miaoying had probably told them the news.
Thinking about it, he straightforwardly walked over.
"Junior Brother Chu, you are here too? Just heard from Junior Sister Lu that you are about to return to the Sect?"
Gu Xiaoqing greeted him as Chu Ning approached.
Chu Ning nodded and directly took out the Restriction Token of the Spirit Field from his Storage Bag, handing it to Gu Xiaoqing.
"Senior Sister Gu, the Golden Essence Fruits in my Spirit Field will mature in half a month; I’m not sure if I’ll make it back in time.
If I don’t make it, could you go and pick those Spirit Fruits yourself?"
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Gu Xiaoqing took it and replied with a smile,
"Sure, I’ve always wanted to visit Junior Brother Chu’s Spirit Field, and now I have the chance."
Seeing them still in high spirits chatting, Chu Ning didn’t feel like joining.
Mentioning he still had Spirit Plants to manage, he bid them farewell and returned to his shop.
Lu Miaoying, noticing, quickly said, "I also need to get ready. I still have quite a few Spirit Beasts there."
The group dispersed directly.
Chu Ning returned to his Talisman Workshop, circling the backyard. Having gone back a few months ago, there wasn’t anything special to bring.
He decided to directly dig up the Iron Stem Orchids in his backyard and put them in his Storage Bag.
Since they’re returning to the Sect tomorrow, he might as well take these Iron Stem Orchids to plant in his yard at the Sect.
Then, Chu Ning went to his room and took out his tools for Talisman Making.
Meanwhile, he checked his proficiency in his mind.
[Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique (Yellow Tier Lower Grade), Third Layer (961/2100)]
[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Unbreakable Tendons 538/1500]
[Refining Spirit Technique, First Layer 998/1000]
The recent cultivation has been normal, so whether it’s Qi Cultivation, Body Cultivation, or Refining Spirit, the progress is steady.
"Only a little bit left to refine the first layer of Refining Spirit Technique to a state of perfection. With the time remaining this evening, I should complete it."
