Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 68: Chu Ning’s Assignment

Liao Yunming spoke up at this moment:

"Chu Ning, this time other senior brothers are participating in the sect’s unified tasks, leading to a shortage of staff in both the Spirit Plant Room and the Spirit Talisman Pavilion.

The sect requires us to arrange for some disciples to take positions in various markets.

However, even with all the arrangements, we still can’t find anyone to assign to Yan Workshop.

I discussed it with Steward He; you are capable of both planting and making talismans.

You are indeed a very suitable candidate, effectively serving as two people."

"Hmm?" Originally anxious and uneasy, Chu Ning was taken aback upon hearing this.

It seemed the situation was different from what he had thought?

Chu Ning cautiously asked, "Are the two stewards saying that the task is for me to go to the outside market?"

"Yes, did you think it was some other task?" He Changyou said with a smile.

"With your current low cultivation level, you wouldn’t be able to handle overly complex tasks."

Hearing this, Chu Ning breathed a sigh of relief internally.

I misunderstood! What a scare.

I thought I was being sent on some perilous and mysterious mission.

With his entire body relaxed, Chu Ning suddenly felt more curious about what the two were saying about going to the market.

He quickly inquired in detail and soon understood the situation.

From what the two implied, the sect seemed to require more Qi Refining disciples than anticipated this time.

Thus, some disciples at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining or above, initially arranged in outside markets or within cultivation clans, were summoned back.

Some are to participate in the sect’s unified tasks, while others are meant to fill gaps among outer disciples and servant disciples.

This led to a manpower shortage in various external locations of the sect.

After all, besides matters at the Mount Gate, Qingxi Sect also has external markets and some spirit fields in other places.

And Yan Workshop, which the two mentioned to Chu Ning, is one of them.

According to the introduction, Yan Workshop is at the end of a branch of the Cyan Creek Mountain Range, far from the sect.

Its location is between the Qingxi Sect and Wind Canyon sects.

However, the branch has decent spiritual qi, and some areas even reach the standard of the sect’s Zone C spirit fields.

Qingxi Sect and Wind Canyon have both developed some spirit fields nearby.

Among these, most spirit fields are cultivated by cultivation clans attached to the sect.

There are about twenty acres of spirit field with a quality of spiritual soil and qi superior to Zone C fields.

It even barely meets the standard of the sect’s Zone B fields.

This part of the spirit field has always been under the control of the Qingxi Sect.

And because there are some relatively low-tier demon beasts near this branch, it attracts some loose cultivators or low-tier disciples of nearby small sects.

Gradually, a small market formed here.

Though it cannot compare to Qinghe Square near Qingxi Sect, it nevertheless has a complete range of trade.

Before, Qingxi Sect had set up some shops in the market, but the scale was not large.

Mainly selling low-tier elixirs, talismans, and magical artifacts; since no unified big store was formed, each hall was responsible for its own.

The same was true for Wind Canyon.

This time, with the Spirit Talisman Pavilion and Spirit Plant Room disciples being transferred from Yan Workshop, they thought of Chu Ning.

After listening to all of this, Chu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a bit hesitant inside.

Although from the two people’s words, it seemed he didn’t have much choice, Chu Ning couldn’t help but ask.

"Stewards, would there be any danger in going to Yan Workshop?

I mean, for instance, are there any attacks by tribulation cultivators or demon beasts?"

Seeing Chu Ning’s cautious demeanor, neither of them laughed but found it quite normal.

After all, Chu Ning had only been in the sect for a short period and his cultivation level was not high, so such concerns were natural.

He Changyou immediately replied: "Yan Workshop falls under the shared jurisdiction of our Qingxi Sect and Wind Canyon, with nearby families dependent on us.

The sect’s Law Enforcement Hall has a small team there.

Moreover, the Foreign Affairs Hall has specially assigned stewards who visit the market every few days.

So you can rest assured, there are no shortsighted tribulation cultivators who would pose a threat to you there."

"As for demon beasts, except during beast disasters, there are no particularly high-tier demon beasts around.

And even in a beast disaster, they would only be some Tier One Basic or Intermediate demon beasts, posing no threat to someone at the Middle Stage of Qi Refining like you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning slightly relaxed.

Then he asked again involuntarily:

"When should I go, and how long am I expected to stay there?"

"You will leave in five days with some disciples from other halls of the sect. As for how long you will stay..."

He Changyou pondered for a moment and replied uncertainly:

"It depends on the sect’s overall personnel arrangement."

Understood, it depends on how many come back alive from the sect’s secret tasks this time.

Chu Ning murmured to himself.

Their visit today was naturally not to ask for his opinion but to inform him of the arrangement.

As an outer disciple, clearly, he had no voice in the matter.

However, he should still try to strive for what he could.

Thinking of this, he put on a somewhat difficult expression.

"Stewards, my cultivation level is low.

For this journey, there should be some self-defense items provided, right?"

Upon hearing Chu Ning hint about climbing the bamboo pole, He Changyou and Liao Yunming fell silent.

Seeing their lack of response, Chu Ning sighed inwardly, two old foxes.

Then he turned his gaze towards Liao Yunming.

"Steward Liao, I remember you once told me.

As long as I achieve a success rate of sixty percent in talisman making with the five Basic Talismans, I can learn the Spirit Talisman method."

Liao Yunming, hearing this, paused before nodding:

"I did say that."

Then, as if suddenly realizing, he looked at Chu Ning and said uncertainly:

"Don’t tell me you’ve achieved it already?"

Chu Ning nodded and said, "I would like to demonstrate in front of you."

Seeing Chu Ning’s confident words, Liao Yunming looked at Chu Ning intently.

Chu Ning, feeling Liao Yunming’s gaze, calmly began to take out a talisman brush, talisman ink, and talisman paper from his storage bag.

Initially, Chu Ning had planned to wait before approaching Liao Yunming to learn the Spirit Talisman methods.

But now, plans couldn’t keep up with the changes, and who knows how long this trip would take.

He might as well seize this opportunity to gain as much benefit as possible.

Quickly recalling the various spells in the Basic Talisman Foundation, Chu Ning began making talismans. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

First, he started with the Flame Talisman and the Profound Ice Talisman, followed by other talismans.

In the next half hour, the expressions of Liao Yunming and He Changyou kept changing as they watched Chu Ning.

They observed Chu Ning make 50 talismans consecutively.

He crafted ten talismans for each type, with a success rate of sixty percent for each type.

When Chu Ning placed a complete set of thirty talismans before Liao Yunming, Liao Yunming’s eyes shone brightly.
