Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 65: Cangmu Sword Technique
Chu Ning arrived at the Spirit Plant Room Dojo, and sure enough, He Changyou was still waiting there.
However, he was not in the main dojo, but in a small room next to it.
"Greetings, Steward He." Chu Ning cupped his hands and bowed slightly to the other party.
He Changyou nodded slightly, glanced at Chu Ning, and then went straight to the point:
"Has the Spirit Talisman Pavilion taught you the Talisman Making Technique?"
Chu Ning thought of Zhuang Yunde’s previous words, and with a mindset of giving it a try, he truthfully replied:
"Yes, Steward Liao of the Spirit Talisman Pavilion gave me a foundational technique for talisman-making passed down within the pavilion.
Additionally, he gave me a Middle Grade Talisman Brush, some Talisman Ink, and Talisman Paper.
He also promised that after I complete the foundational studies of talisman-making, he will pass on the Spirit Talisman techniques to me."
Speaking with an expression of honesty and respect, Chu Ning noticed He Changyou was slightly surprised when he heard about the Spirit Talisman techniques.
But Chu Ning did not stop there and continued to speak:
"Besides that, he also gave me five talismans, four of which are Basic Middle Grade Talismans, and one is a Basic Upper Grade Talisman.
Oh, Steward Liao instructed me that if I run out of supplies, I should go and claim more, and if I have any questions, I should consult with the senior disciples."
After saying all this, Chu Ning appropriately displayed a slight expression of joy.
Like a disciple who had never seen the world, just received great rewards.
Of course, in reality, that was indeed the case.
With Zhuang Yunde’s reminder, his expression showed more openly.
Meanwhile, He Changyou listened with eyes slightly flickering.
After Chu Ning finished speaking, he calmly and slowly spoke:
"Your Master Liao seems to be treating you well, even agreeing to pass on the Spirit Talisman techniques to you.
I had been thinking of asking for some things for you beforehand, but it seems I don’t need to; the Spirit Talisman Pavilion values your talent in talisman-making."
From He Changyou’s words, Chu Ning hadn’t detected anything unusual.
The other side continued to speak:
"Since joining the sect, you’ve been a Spirit Plant Room disciple. Over the past year, I’ve been watching your performance closely.
Though your spirit root aptitude is lacking, your affinity for wood element techniques and spells is high.
If you specialize in cultivating wood element skills, you can still achieve something."
At this, he paused slightly before continuing:
"In fact, I already had thoughts of nurturing you after you showed your talent in spells during the Zone C assessment, and it coincidentally met with this talisman-making competition.
Following the sect’s traditions, since you’ve been recognized by both halls, you can naturally become an Outer Disciple.
You shouldn’t go back to Zone C for now either."
Hearing this, Chu Ning’s expression slightly changed. He hadn’t expected that before he could reap the benefits Zhuang Yunde mentioned, he would be told not to farm anymore.
Although he had acquired the talisman-making technique, which would theoretically lead to decent income and resources.
However, Chu Ning hadn’t forgotten his other crucial talent, the Yin Wood Spirit Body!
It allows him to leverage the Spirit Plants and Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill to quickly enhance his cultivation speed.
This shortcut, Chu Ning did not wish to give up.
Not allowing him to farm, how could that work?
So, Chu Ning promptly spoke up:
"Steward He, I’ve just started with the Spirit Plant Cultivation Skill, and I wish to continue cultivating."
"Who said you couldn’t cultivate?"
He Changyou looked at Chu Ning strangely.
"I’m planning to find you a place to live in the Outer Sect area; after all, the Spiritual Qi there is richer and would benefit you more.
As for cultivation, see about Zone C for now; in about a month, some disciples will leave for tasks and vacate their Spirit Fields.
Then, I’ll arrange for you some better Spirit Fields.
Once you reach the Qi Refining Late Stage, you can apply to the sect to cultivate in Zone B."
Hearing this, Chu Ning slightly sighed in relief.
He realized that in a month, it seemed some disciples with decent cultivation were also going for those mysterious tasks similar to Zhuang Yunde.
"For the next month, focus on cultivating at your residence, improving your cultivation and spells, and learn the talisman-making technique well.
Once your accommodation and Spirit Fields are settled, I’ll inform you."
He Changyou continued to speak, then looked back at Chu Ning.
"The Spirit Talisman Pavilion has given you some rewards, and our Spirit Plant Room won’t be stingy either. What would you like?"
This really was just as Zhuang Yunde said.
It was the only thought in Chu Ning’s mind at that moment.
He originally thought that when He Changyou mentioned he would reside in the Outer Sect and choose good Spirit Fields for him, that was the treatment.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually intended to give additional rewards.
Chu Ning appropriately showed a touch of surprise and then pretended to think with a lowered head.
After a moment, Chu Ning raised his head again.
"Steward, I’ve only encountered basic methods for nurturing ordinary Spirit Plants.
The main skills I’ve been studying are supportive planting spells; I only know the simple Thorn Technique and Vine Armor Technique for attack and defense.
I wonder if after becoming an Outer Disciple, I could have more exposure to other Spirit Plants and spells."
These words from Chu Ning were somewhat tactful, but He Changyou understood that Chu Ning indeed wanted more.
He mused slightly, then tapped his Storage Bag.
He took out two Jade Scrolls, and Chu Ning’s eyes couldn’t help but fixate on them.
At this moment, He Changyou first handed one Jade Scroll to Chu Ning:
"The Spirit Plant Treasure Manual, it records methods and applications for cultivating most common Spirit Plants.
It also contains knowledge about many relatively rare Spirit Plants and Medicines, with most having cultivation methods."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning immediately accepted it.
Previously, Zhuang Yunde had brought him a Jade Scroll with introductions to Spirit Plants.
However, it was more descriptive, with only a few cultivation techniques.
Clearly, the Jade Scroll from He Changyou was more complete.
He Changyou then handed the second Jade Scroll to Chu Ning.
"This is a set of Basic Upper Tier Wood Element Attack Techniques.
Called the Cangmu Sword Technique, it’s very suitable for disciples who have trained in the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill."
Chu Ning’s eyes began to sparkle.
He actually wanted to cultivate a technique with greater offensive potential.
After all, though the Thorn Technique had binding abilities, its attack power was still lacking.
Previously, he acquired a Basic Middle Tier Technique, Golden Sword Technique, from a bearded man, but he made little progress and eventually gave up.
But now, He Changyou brought out a Basic Upper Tier attack technique, making Chu Ning delighted beyond imagination.
Chu Ning hurriedly accepted it and then saluted, saying, "Thank you, Steward!"
These words from Chu Ning were said with extreme sincerity.
Despite Zhuang Yunde’s earlier advice, being able to suddenly receive such valuable items from He Changyou was a great surprise for Chu Ning.
"Alright, you may go back now. I’ll notify you if there are any arrangements by the sect."
With these words from He Changyou, Chu Ning immediately thanked him once more and left.
Today, he had obtained quite a few good things, and he needed to return and digest them well.
