Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 50: Divine Sense Projection
Nothing special happened that night.
Chu Ning slept even more soundly than usual, and woke up feeling refreshed.
It was a bit unexpected for Chu Ning.
Looking at the sky outside, Chu Ning found that he even woke up earlier than usual.
He didn’t mind, and sat cross-legged on the bed to begin cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique.
His morning cultivation routine was exactly opposite to the evening.
He first cultivated the Refining Spirit Technique, then the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique, and finally finished the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique before breakfast and heading to the fields.
When Chu Ning started cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique at this moment, he was slightly surprised once again.
The Divine Sense vortex in the Mud Ball Palace was spinning faster than usual.
Chu Ning didn’t know the reason, but he knew this was a sign of faster cultivation. He immediately calmed his Heart Spirit to continue cultivating, feeling slightly astonished.
At this moment, the Divine Sense vortex spun faster and faster, yet also grew smaller and smaller.
And who knows how long it took.
"Drip!"
Chu Ning’s ear seemed to catch the sound of a liquid dripping.
Inside the Mud Ball Palace, all the gaseous vortexes vanished, becoming a single drop of liquid.
Divine Sense condensed into liquid, entry into Refining Spirit Introduction!
The Refining Spirit Technique Chu Ning had been cultivating for a while finally made progress at this moment.
In an instant, Chu Ning felt everything around him become clearer.
He could feel the purple flowers swaying gently on the Iron Wire Vine in the front and back yards, and sense the breathing of Luo Hongping and Lu Yunfang in the two rooms of the neighboring yard...
Spiritual Sense Projection, this is also an important sign of entry into Refining Spirit Introduction.
The next moment, having exited cultivation, Chu Ning immediately checked his proficiency.
[Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique (Yellow Tier Lower Grade), Second Layer (275/900)]
[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Undying Bone 51/600]
[Refining Spirit Technique, First Layer 11/1000]
"So the proficiency for the Refining Spirit Technique exceeding the threshold of 10 counts as starting." Chu Ning thought to himself.
The next moment, he clicked his tongue in wonder, finding it difficult to believe that entry was already so challenging yet was only at 10 proficiency.
But to cultivate to First Layer Perfection, it requires as much as 1000 proficiency.
A long way to go indeed!
At this moment, Chu Ning carefully pondered his recent state of Spiritual Sense Projection, which was about 2 zhang.
Does that mean that even if the Refining Spirit Technique’s First Layer achieves Perfection, it should only reach about 4 zhang?
Thinking this way, Chu Ning felt that the Refining Spirit Technique wasn’t that impressive, but then he suddenly shook his head.
No, the Refining Spirit Technique states that achieving First Layer Perfection can double one’s Divine Sense.
Yet during this process, through cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique, one’s own Divine Sense can be strengthened.
Which means after truly achieving Perfection, one’s Spiritual Sense Projection is far more than just double the current state.
But think about it, if it were only twice the current Divine Sense, how could one utilize an attack technique like Illusion God Needle.
So the actual effect after the Refining Spirit Technique’s First Layer Perfection depends on how much the Divine Sense has strengthened during this period.
Figuring this out, Chu Ning felt a little more anticipation because he was naturally blessed with Divine Sense almost twice as fast as others.
According to the texts, the effect should be better than others.
Immediately, Chu Ning got up from the bed, ready to cultivate the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique in the courtyard.
Just as he moved his steps, Chu Ning stopped abruptly, suddenly realizing that he might have overlooked something.
Why were Luo Hongping and Lu Yunfang, the couple next door, sleeping in separate rooms?
Could it be that middle-aged couples get tired of each other?
Or were they worried that cultivation would affect each other? No, they were not cultivating just now, they were sleeping.
Or perhaps, they aren’t really a couple?
This thought flashed by, and Chu Ning’s expression became uncertain and suspicious.
Although feeling he might be overly suspicious, Chu Ning remained on higher alert.
Chu Ning originally intended to cultivate the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique in the courtyard but chose not to.
Instead, he ate breakfast first, intending to go to the Spirit Fields to cultivate.
While the middle-level Spirit Field was adjacent to the couple’s field, the superior field where the Ink Spirit Bamboo was planted was relatively isolated, more suitable for cultivation.
To Chu Ning’s surprise, when he finished breakfast and left the yard, the couple opposite also exited simultaneously.
Upon seeing Chu Ning, Lu Yunfang immediately greeted him.
"Junior Brother Chu, you’re up early too? Are you heading to the fields?"
Chu Ning nodded nonchalantly, continuing to exhibit a nonchalant demeanor like he did yesterday.
Lu Yunfang then smiled and said:
"We originally planned to visit Junior Brother Chu at noon. This is some Spirit Tea we brought back from the Cultivation Clan, let Brother Chu have a taste."
As she spoke, Lu Yunfang took out a porcelain jar from a Storage Bag and handed it to Chu Ning.
Chu Ning paused slightly, this was the first time he encountered such formalities resembling those in the Mortal Realm since joining the sect.
But the more polite they were, the more cautious Chu Ning became.
As just a Third Layer of Qi Refining disciple, and with the other two being at the Sixth Layer, is there a need to be this polite to him?
However, at this moment, Chu Ning felt it inappropriate to act too stiff, as normally low-tier disciples wouldn’t act tough in front of high-tier disciples.
So he hesitated, looking at them:
"Senior Sister Lu, this Spirit Tea is also precious, right? I fear a rough person like me might not appreciate it."
"It’s nothing valuable, just an ordinary quality Spirit Tea, worth about the same as Spirit Rice."
Without awaiting Chu Ning’s further comments, Lu Yunfang directly placed the porcelain jar into Chu Ning’s hand and then said:
"Actually, I wanted to ask Junior Brother Chu about something."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning’s heart skipped a beat, having an inkling that they might ask about Qi Chongmao.
With this in mind, Chu Ning responded:
"Thank you, Senior Sister Lu, but I’m a new disciple; I haven’t been in the sect for long. What would Senior Sister Lu like to know? I’m not sure I’d be informed."
"Just a small matter." At this moment, Lu Yufang lowered her voice, looking gossipy.
"I heard someone lived in this yard before us? And then they suddenly disappeared?"
Indeed! Hearing that they indeed brought up Qi Chongmao, Chu Ning’s heart stirred.
"Yes, previously there was a Senior Brother named Qi Chongmao living here.
He seemed to have disappeared suddenly about a month ago, or whenever it was. Oh, and..."
Chu Ning paused slightly, looking at the two as he spoke, observing their expressions.
"The Law Enforcement Hall even had a Foundation Establishment Stage Steward come to investigate it."
While speaking in a gossiping tone, Chu Ning’s heart became slightly heavy.
He noticed clearly that when he mentioned the Law Enforcement Hall’s Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, both had slight changes in their expressions.
Although the change was very subtle, with Chu Ning’s sensitive Divine Sense and intent observation, he saw it clearly.
Moreover, they concealed it very well; Lu Yufang’s gossip expression even intensified a bit.
"Did the Law Enforcement Hall discover anything?"
Chu Ning shook his head, expressing embarrassment:
"I don’t know about that. When I saw the steward, I didn’t even dare breathe loudly, let alone ask anything."
Luo Hongping and Lu Yunfang exchanged glances, the latter speaking in a relaxed tone:
"Since the Law Enforcement Hall has visited, it should be nothing; otherwise, we’d really be worried about the field being planted halfway, and that fellow Taoist suddenly returning."
Chu Ning didn’t respond, stepping towards the Spirit Field.
Lu Yunfang then pointed to the porcelain jar in Chu Ning’s hand, saying:
"Junior Brother Chu, carrying the tea isn’t convenient; would you like to put it back in your room or into a Storage Bag?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Of course, Chu Ning wouldn’t take out his Storage Bag in front of them and said:
"I don’t have a Storage Bag yet; I’ll put it in the house."
"Alright, we’ll head to the fields then." Saying this, Lu Yunfang and Luo Hongping left directly.
Chu Ning reopened the courtyard door, entered, and closed it. The next moment, he paused, projecting his Spiritual Sense.
Immediately, Chu Ning’s expression turned more solemn.
Because he sensed that the two hadn’t gone far but were using the Sound Transmission Technique at this moment.
Although his Divine Sense wasn’t strong enough to hear what they were saying.
But that they had matters not meant for others, even a low-tier disciple like him, to hear yet were using the Sound Transmission Technique was noteworthy.
It’s highly possible these two came for Qi Chongmao.
Moreover, they clearly appeared afraid that the Law Enforcement Hall might discover something.
Although Chu Ning was a bit perplexed, he vaguely felt that killing Qi Chongmao, this incident seemed to involve some trouble.
