Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 305 - 158: Flame Divine Wood Technique First Layer Perfection, Talent Refreshed_4
However, to Chu Ning’s surprise, he originally thought that this hidden talent might be analytic-like, similar to Talisman Making.
But what he never expected was, it was actually Refining Spirit!
At this moment, in Chu Ning’s mind, there was already a set of Refining Spirit spells.
This way, he could finally start his Alchemy.
For the Basic Alchemy Technique he got from Great Monarch Peng, Chu Ning had already familiarized himself over the past two years.
He could recite the Cyan Wood Primordial Yang Pill and the Profound Spirit Treasure Pill formulas by heart.
He even used the Illusion Technique to alter his appearance and visited various islands to collect a few pill formulas, just to have enough practice in the early stages.
As for the Pill Furnace, he already had one prepared, though not of very high quality.
Chu Ning planned to try it out once Cen Zijin guided the Earth Fire, and if needed, he would prepare a higher quality Pill Furnace.
All preparations were in place, and his Spirit Body Talent had also been refreshed.
The only thing left was to wait for Cen Zijin to arrive and help with the Array Formation to guide out the Earth Fire.
Nine days later, according to usual timings, Cen Zijin should make an appearance.
But Chu Ning waited until evening without seeing her appear.
This undoubtedly left Chu Ning bewildered and uncertain, deciding if she didn’t show up the next day, he’d go look for her.
Early the next day, just as Chu Ning finished Cultivation and managing Spirit Medicine and Spirit Plants,
the first immortal of the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, Cen Zijin, gracefully arrived.
"I thought you would come yesterday, was something delayed at Cen Workshop?"
Upon seeing Cen Zijin, Chu Ning’s first words brought a bit of warmth to her bright eyes.
"Not at Cen Workshop, but within the family, some elders had a dispute."
Mentioning the troublesome matters in her family, the warmth in Cen Zijin’s eyes faded a bit.
But soon she recovered, lightly laughing,
"Being here with you is truly comfortable, carefree, to be honest, I envy you a lot right now."
"Then stay a few more days." Chu Ning responded with a smile, casually taking out the Spirit Tea brewing tools.
Cen Zijin gazed at Chu Ning with bright eyes but didn’t reply, just reached out and removed her veil, a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Then she extended her hand to take the Spirit Tea brewing tools from Chu Ning.
"It’s strange to say, I always thought our Cen Workshop’s Spirit Tea was among the best.
But after drinking the Spirit Tea you grew, I feel ours is just average.
Your skill in growing Spirit Plants indeed surprised me."
The seeds of this Spirit Tea were given by her initially, the types were supposed to be the same.
But the first time she brewed it, she noticed this Spirit Tea’s quality was higher than that at her home, the Spiritual Qi much richer.
Such an effect naturally was due to Chu Ning’s cultivation skill.
At this moment, Chu Ning couldn’t help but laugh and said, "I have many skills, for example, Cultivation, and I also want to try my hand at Alchemy."
As he said this, Chu Ning deliberately circulated his Magical Power, making his Qi Refining Perfection aura more obvious.
In fact, when Cen Zijin had just arrived, he already released his Qi Refining Perfection aura.
But this Fairy Cen was too absorbed in talking with Chu Ning and didn’t notice.
"You’ve reached Qi Refining Perfection?"
At this moment, seeing the aura Chu Ning displayed, Cen Zijin paused slightly during her tea brewing.
Her bright eyes sparkled with light.
Chu Ning nodded, "I broke through last month."
"Then congratulations to Fellow Daoist Chu!"
Cen Zijin giggled, displaying a girlish demeanor.
In this Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, perhaps only Chu Ning could see this side of her.
Chu Ning chuckled and said,
"I’m still far from Fellow Daoist Cen, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator."
"You’ll need to work hard on your Cultivation, or else how will you catch up with me."
Cen Zijin slightly raised her head, with a bit of pride.
However, soon she felt her words were somewhat inappropriate and quickly turned her head.
Leaving Chu Ning with just a view of her elegant profile.
Chu Ning smiled and proactively changed the topic, saying,
"I remember you mentioned there’s Earth Fire beneath this mountain range, and it can be drawn out with an array formation.
Do we need any special items for the array formation? I’d like your help in guiding out the Earth Fire."
"Earth Fire?" Cen Zijin indeed got intrigued.
She remembered what Chu Ning had said earlier, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
"Now that you have reached Qi Refining Perfection, why not focus solely on Cultivation to break through to Foundation Establishment?
You want to do Talisman Making and Alchemy, isn’t that too distracting?"
"My Cultivation Technique is different from others." Chu Ning explained at that moment.
"To achieve Foundation Establishment, I need a special elixir, and this elixir can only be refined by myself."
Hearing this, Cen Zijin’s delicate brows furrowed even more, looking at Chu Ning with some disapproval.
"Then why didn’t you start Alchemy earlier? Since this elixir is so unique, it surely can’t be learned in a short time.
You’re only starting Alchemy now, don’t you think it’s a bit late?"
Chu Ning heard this and smiled at Cen Zijin.
"Are you worried I won’t reach Foundation Establishment, or are you afraid I’ll take too long?"
Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Cen Zijin’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed and slightly arched.
"Whether you reach Foundation Establishment or not is none of my concern, I’m just afraid you’ll be too distracted to do Talisman Making."
Saying this, Cen Zijin’s expression returned to calm, with an air of business as usual.
But Chu Ning seemed to catch a fleeting glance of hesitation in her eyes.
After taking a gentle sip of tea, Chu Ning finally spoke:
"Rest assured, I’ve been in touch with Alchemy Technique for quite a while, just spent these two years focusing calmly on Cultivation, not wanting to be too distracted, and thus haven’t engaged in Refining."
