Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 270 - 150: Trespassers in the Cave Mansion Shall Be Killed!
But sustaining body refinement for another six months poses no problem.
And during these six months, new Golden Orchid Fruits can be cultivated.
The only issue seems to be facing another bottleneck soon.
As for this Refining Spirit...
Chu Ning felt quite helpless, as he hadn’t yet found a good method to speed it up.
He could only expend effort through Talisman Making and slowly grind away at it.
"Soul-Stabilizing Bead." At this moment, Chu Ning suddenly remembered the Top-Setting Bead he unexpectedly acquired some time ago.
"I should take a trip to Shuiyun Island when I have the time."
After putting everything back in the Storage Bag, Chu Ning completed his Refining Spirit Technique and then went to sleep.
The next morning, Chu Ning resumed his usual cultivation routine.
First, he practiced the Refining Spirit Technique, then the Flame Divine Wood Technique, fully digesting the remaining medicinal power of the Cyan Wood Primordial Yang Pill from last night.
Next, he consumed a Golden Orchid Fruit and began practicing the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.
Upon reaching Qi Refining Perfection, the Golden Orchid Fruit still provided benefits to Qi Refining, though not as strong as before.
Chu Ning just needed to find an opportunity later to absorb and digest the effects of the Spirit Fruit.
Chu Ning then went to the Medicinal Garden to check on the Flame Wood Twin Fruit planted yesterday.
As expected, the balance of Wood and Fire Dual Attribute Spiritual Qi in the sapling had improved.
However, the Spiritual Qi from the Fire Spirit Crystal was indeed dense but still slightly inferior compared to Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi.
Seeing this, Chu Ning immediately applied the Profound Spring Youth Technique multiple times on each plant, assisting in the Wood Spiritual Qi’s condensation.
He then went to the Medicinal Garden and Spirit Field, applying spells to various fruits.
Finally, he approached a small, isolated part of the Spirit Field, his eyes flickering with thought.
Ever since unintentionally crossbreeding the Golden Orchid Fruit, Chu Ning had pondered whether he could crossbreed other Spirit Fruits.
However, until now, he hadn’t had a good opportunity to try.
At this moment, Chu Ning took out two types of Spirit Plants from the Storage Bag.
One was the Iron Stem Orchid.
Chu Ning had intentionally reserved twenty plants during yesterday’s planting, ten intended for cultivating the Iron Blue Orchid Fruit’s seeds.
He planned to use the other ten for crossbreeding experiments.
After all, the emergence of the Golden Orchid Fruit indicated that Iron Stem Orchid was pollinatable.
After planting these ten, Chu Ning picked up another Spirit Plant, the Primordial Yang Fruit sapling.
This sapling was acquired from within the Spirit Realm.
It wasn’t until he read Shang Rui’s Jade Scroll in the past two days that he discovered this fruit was a main ingredient for refining the Cyan Wood Primordial Yang Pill.
He planted the Primordial Yang Fruit and Iron Stem Orchid together.
Chu Ning then adjusted the Restriction, ensuring this area was covered, preventing pollen from other Spirit Plants and Medicines from entering.
Only then did Chu Ning begin today’s spell practice.
Currently, he could only merge three fireballs in the Blazing Fire Flaming Technique, far from truly mastering the basics.
And as for the Fire Phoenix Feather Spear, he hadn’t had the opportunity to try out its full potential.
As Chu Ning was diligently practicing, he suddenly heard a sound from outside:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, it’s Jiang Hongguang. Would it be convenient for a meeting?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning halted his practice.
He sensed that outside the Cave Mansion was Jiang Hongguang, along with his wife and sister, with no outsiders present.
He then activated the Exorcism Jade Token, and the next moment, an external passage appeared.
Chu Ning’s voice sounded as well.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please enter the Cave Mansion for a chat."
Jiang Hongguang and his companions outside exchanged glances before proceeding through the newly appeared passage.
They entered a semi-open stone chamber facing the lake.
Chu Ning stood within the stone chamber, looking at the three with a faint smile.
"I didn’t know Fellow Daoist Jiang was visiting; I apologize for not greeting you at the distance."
Chu Ning gave a courteous salute, to which Jiang Hongguang replied politely.
"I thought you might be setting up your Cave Mansion these past few days and didn’t want to disturb you.
Today, I guessed that you might have finished setting up, so I came to visit. My apologies for any presumptuousness."
Upon Jiang Hongguang finishing his words, the straightforward Jiang Lan immediately spoke up:
"Senior Brother Chu, your Cave Mansion is really nice!"
Jiang Lan exclaimed in admiration, "And you have such a view of the lake."
She then glanced backward with curiosity and asked, "It’s so big back there..."
"Ahem!" At this moment, Jiang Hongguang cleared his throat and rebuked:
"Xiao Lan, don’t be rude."
Yu Yuansheng also gently pulled Jiang Lan, as prying into others’ Cave Mansion arrangements was indeed impolite.
Jiang Lan realized this and stuck her tongue out slightly.
Seeing this, Chu Ning smiled and said, "It’s nothing special. I’ve just developed some Spirit Fields back there to plant some Spirit Plants."
Jiang Hongguang then took the opportunity to express his purpose for visiting:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, as per previous arrangements, our two families will jointly govern this island from now on.
Though you’ve humbly allowed me to continue handling the specifics of governance, there are still many cultivators on the island.
Recently, several cultivators from other islands have come to visit.
Many have heard of your impressive display during the competition on Thousand Islands. I intended to arrange a banquet as a formal welcome for you.
Fellow Daoist, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning immediately waved his hand:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, there’s no need to organize such affairs for me. I’m used to living alone and don’t enjoy bustling gatherings, so a banquet isn’t necessary.
As for the other fellow cultivators on the island, I haven’t had much interaction with them yet.
Since they know my Cave Mansion is here and there’s an array preventing unintentional intrusions or misunderstandings, there’s no pressing need to meet."
