Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 43: Body Refinement Achieved, Enemy Arrives
The spirit fruit entered his mouth, and Chu Ning immediately felt his mouth water.
A rich Spiritual Qi enveloped his entire mouth.
As he slowly chewed, the juice entered his stomach.
Instantly, a warm current surged from his Dantian, flowing towards his limbs and bones.
The next moment, this warm current suddenly became incomparably vigorous.
Chu Ning only felt his body becoming hot, his skin, muscles, and bones all burning with a scorching sensation.
It was as if his blood was about to ignite.
In just a moment, Chu Ning felt his consciousness becoming a bit blurry, as if he could be overwhelmed by the heat wave at any time.
Chu Ning’s complexion changed slightly.
"The effect of this Seven-Star Spirit Fruit on the body is so strong!"
Feeling the surging energy inside his body as if it was about to burst out, he dared not let this energy wantonly wreak havoc in his body.
Immediately, in the relatively spacious area of the backyard, he began practicing the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.
Although he had practiced it countless times before, Chu Ning had never felt it as difficult as this time.
The heat waves made every inch of his body feel like it was being torn apart.
As if every action would rip him apart.
After finishing a set of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, his body was already drenched with sweat.
But at this moment, the warm current inside his body was still incredibly violent.
However, Chu Ning was slightly delighted that some of the warm current was consumed.
Continue!
Without hesitation, Chu Ning continued to practice.
Again and again.
As time went on, Chu Ning felt the scorching sensation gradually fade away.
And his body also became increasingly comfortable.
He didn’t know how many times he practiced.
"Boom!"
Until a certain moment, Chu Ning suddenly felt a certain shackle in his body being unlocked.
The scorching sensation completely disappeared, leaving his body incomparably light and transparent.
"Hoo!"
Chu Ning let out a long breath, finally stopping his cultivation, and his gaze became incomparably bright.
He casually clenched his fist, and a layer of bronze color emerged on his skin.
When he flicked it with a finger, it even seemed to emit a soft ringing sound.
When he loosened his hand, all the skin returned to normal.
Chu Ning could feel that the medicinal effect of the Seven-Star Spirit Fruit was still accumulated in his body.
However, it would no longer affect his regular cultivation.
"When auctioned, it was said that the Seven-Star Spirit Fruit was effective for Foundation Establishment Stage body refining cultivators, and it seems true.
Fortunately, I realized quickly and practiced the ancient Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, otherwise, my body might not have withstood the Seven-Star Spirit Fruit’s potency."
At this moment, Chu Ning recalled, slightly fearful.
At the time, he was a bit reckless.
However, the result undoubtedly made Chu Ning extremely pleased.
His consciousness quickly sank into his mind, and his cultivation progress immediately displayed in front of him.
[Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique (Yellow Tier Lower Grade), Second Layer (237/900)]
[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Immortal Skin 300/300]
"Immortal Skin, Great Success!!"
A trace of joy involuntarily appeared on Chu Ning’s face, and as he continued to look down...
[Innate Divine Technique Refreshed, Reward Divine Power Secret Technique "Celestial Spirit Fist"]
Staring at the newly prompted content, Chu Ning was initially stunned, then his gaze showed undisguised happiness.
Upon reaching max proficiency in refining Immortal Skin, it indeed refreshed a Golden Finger.
However, this time it wasn’t to refresh a Spirit Body Talent.
It was rather the long-lost Immortal Skin volume Divine Power Secret Technique of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique—"Celestial Spirit Fist"!
Upon reflection, it seemed very reasonable.
After refining Nine Tigers Body Refining Art to perfection, the refreshed reward was the Yin Wood Spirit Body.
Although Nine Tigers Body Refining Art is derived from the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, its essence is to help ordinary people sense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Thus, what refreshed was the Yin Wood Spirit Body, which can accelerate Qi refining.
And upon refining the first layer of the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique, what refreshed was the Talismanic Spirit Body.
For cultivators of wood element techniques, there is initially an enhancement in talisman making, hence the refreshed talent was the Talismanic Spirit Body that boosts talisman making.
And now, reaching perfection in the first volume of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique Immortal Skin Realm, the refreshed one is the Innate Divine Technique Celestial Spirit Fist.
According to ancient records, this is originally an innate divine technique that came with the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.
"Thus, the talents and cultivation I refresh are closely related to each other."
Chu Ning vaguely felt that continuing to cultivate Qi Refining Techniques might refresh similar spirit body cultivation talents.
And the cultivation refreshed by Body Refining Techniques could very likely be innate divine techniques like Celestial Spirit Fist.
Subsequently, Chu Ning checked the complete information about the Celestial Spirit Fist in his mind.
The Celestial Spirit Fist is a close-combat divine power secret technique specifically for body cultivators. It can utilize one’s own Primordial Qi to induce Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, releasing a powerful and vigorous attack.
A punch can break through the ordinary spell defenses below the late Qi Refining Stage!
And if a general Qi Refining Stage cultivator takes it head-on, they would almost certainly die.
Despite having never encountered this divine power secret technique before, at this moment.
Chu Ning felt as if it were like Accelerating Technique, Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill, these spells already capable of instant casting.
It has completely transformed into his innate divine technique!
It felt as if with a mere thought, he could unleash a fierce and vigorous punch at any time.
"I finally have another means of self-defense!"
Considering this, Chu Ning felt slightly relieved about the looming danger.
Over the next half-day, Chu Ning practiced the Celestial Spirit Fist twice in the backyard.
The Celestial Spirit Fist consumes a lot of magical power, so Chu Ning promptly took a Replenishing Essence Pill to recover, keeping his magical power in a fully charged state.
Subsequently, he organized all the spells and talismans he knew.
Preparing for the possible imminent danger.
Chu Ning had indeed thought about whether to hide in the Outer Sect or simply invite Zhuang Yunde to his place.
However, this thought only flashed by and was immediately discarded by Chu Ning.
As the saying goes, hide for a moment but not forever.
If the sense of being watched from before was indeed from Qi Chongmao, it also meant that any commotion in his courtyard would naturally be known to the other party.
If Zhuang Yunde were here, the other party definitely wouldn’t show up.
And if he went to the Outer Sect, it’d be only during the day; by nightfall, he’d have to return as per the regulations.
Even handing over the Seven-Star Spirit Fruit to the Sect might not stop Qi Chongmao from ignoring him.
Unless he was truly overthinking it, an inevitable confrontation between the two seemed unavoidable.
As night slowly fell, even though the Seven-Star Spirit Fruit had been harvested, Chu Ning still stayed in the backyard cultivating at night.
Because, there were many Iron Wire Vines here.
Before long, that familiar unpleasant sense of being watched reappeared.
However, this feeling disappeared almost as soon as it appeared, leaving Chu Ning slightly perplexed.
Just when Chu Ning was puzzled, his expression changed slightly.
For at that moment, a gust of wind carrying a voice fell over from the front courtyard.
Qi Chongmao had arrived!
Already prepared, Chu Ning immediately reached for some talismans in each hand.
Magical power surged inside his Dantian, ready to act at any moment.
At the same time, a figure appeared in the moonlit backyard.
Thorn Technique!
Chu Ning was ready to first release this spell to bind and constrain his opponent.
Just then, he suddenly felt a buzz in his ears and a stabbing pain in his head.
"Ah!"
The sudden, intense pain caused Chu Ning to let out a low cry of agony.
"Boy, you must have already harvested the Seven-Star Spirit Fruit by now.
I certainly didn’t expect you could be so lucky to obtain such a spirit fruit."
Meanwhile, Qi Chongmao’s usually gentle voice now sounded incredibly sinister.
"For us in the Cyan Creek Sect, cultivating and planting this Seven-Star Spirit Fruit isn’t difficult, nor is preserving it.
Yet this fruit is very unique, not only is its maturation period very short, merely a few months, but once it touches soil, the flesh will automatically rot, leaving only the seed.
If the seed isn’t extracted and placed in a jade box within a day, it will also rot.
Thus, unless by a stroke of fortune, acquiring the seed is extremely difficult."
Qi Chongmao’s sinister voice carried hints of surprise and greed.
"However, your luck, boy, has run out. These Seven-Star Spirit Fruits will all be mine."
Accompanied by this voice, Chu Ning saw several Ice Blades flying towards him!
