Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 388 - 195: Secrets of the Ancient Sect, Divine Sense Soaring

"Ying!"

In a dimly lit stone chamber, Chu Ning slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing he heard was Ling Xiaobai’s surprised cry.

"Master, you’re awake!"

Chu Ning attempted to get up, but as soon as he moved, it felt as if he had been torn apart.

"This injury is indeed far worse than I imagined."

Feeling the terrible condition of his body, Chu Ning let out a bitter smile.

He had suffered severe injuries under the continuous attacks from that short, black-robed elder, a Golden Core Cultivator.

Originally, if he hadn’t resorted to using Magical Power, he could have slowly recuperated without it being so serious.

However, he later forcibly drove the puppet and used the Divine Wind Escape.

This undoubtedly made his injuries more severe.

Recalling the events that had unfolded previously, Chu Ning still felt a lingering fear.

If he hadn’t prepared a few beads like the Thundering Bead during a moment of boredom, intending to use them to confuse the enemy.

And when that Golden Core Cultivator experienced the power of the Thundering Beads one after another, he was really convinced, not inspecting them closely before quickly retreating.

Even if Chu Ning had exhausted all means, he might still have been unable to escape.

Of course, being able to wake up now should be credited to having cultivated Body Refining Techniques, which provided him with greater physical defense and recovery ability than ordinary cultivators.

Additionally, it should be due to Ling Xiaobai’s Profound Fate Technique.

While enveloped in Ling Xiaobai’s white light, he thought of taking out a Small Celestial Essence Pill from the Storage Bag to consume.

After exiting the Ancient Sect Ruins back then, he specifically used the Celestial Essence Grass to refine several Small Celestial Essence Pills.

However, at that time, he couldn’t even take out anything from the Storage Bag.

Fortunately, after entering this Restriction, Ling Xiaobai continuously practiced the Profound Fate Technique for healing him, allowing him to wake up at this moment.

It’s just unknown how much time this actually took.

Chu Ning turned to Ling Xiaobai and asked:

"Xiaobai, how many days have we spent inside here?"

"Seven days," Ling Xiaobai replied.

The injuries were indeed severe, Chu Ning sighed slightly and said:

"Last time, we came in, and you were severely injured; I practiced the Profound Fate Technique to help you.

This time, it’s your turn to help me."

While speaking, Chu Ning sensed his condition and found that he could slightly mobilize his Magical Power.

He then immediately took out a Jade Bottle from the Storage Bag, poured out a Small Celestial Essence Pill, and consumed it.

Then he instructed Ling Xiaobai:

"Continue practicing the Profound Fate Technique."

This Profound Fate Technique can be performed between the parties who have signed a contract.

In the past few days, Chu Ning was probably passively receiving treatment just like Ling Xiaobai once did.

But now, he could proactively cultivate this Profound Fate Technique.

Coupled with Ling Xiaobai’s assistance, his recovery was likely to be quicker.

As a matter of fact, things went just as Chu Ning anticipated.

Under the dual effects of the Small Celestial Essence Pill and the Profound Fate Technique, Chu Ning felt significantly recovered in just a day’s time.

Although there was still some obstruction in the operation of Magical Power, at least he wouldn’t feel like his body was on the verge of tearing apart with even the slightest movement.

After finishing a day of healing cultivation, Chu Ning could barely stand up by this time.

He took out the Cyan Light Bead and began to examine his surroundings.

He discovered that both he and Ling Xiaobai were inside a stone chamber approximately five zhang square.

The stone chamber was quite empty, with not many items.

In one corner, there was a stone bed approximately one zhang in size and three chi high.

On this stone bed, incredibly, there lay a skeletal remains.

Who knows how long these remains had been there, the clothes and flesh had long decayed.

Only the bony skeleton was left.

What made Chu Ning feel quite strange was that logically speaking, such skeletal remains should have also fully decayed and weathered.

But these bones hadn’t, and moreover, there was a piece of bone on the chest that was as crystalline as jade.

At a glance, it stood out distinctly.

Chu Ning watched from afar but didn’t get close or do anything. Instead, he asked Ling Xiaobai somewhat curiously:

"How did we end up in this chamber? Did you check what this place was?"

"Ying!" Ling Xiaobai shook his head.

"I just arrived here after passing through the Restriction. Since Master was unconscious, I didn’t dare to leave."

Chu Ning nodded, pondering for a moment before speaking:

"Since we were directly brought here after entering the Array Restriction and we’ve encountered no danger in days.

We might as well stay put and refrain from touching anything.

Let’s wait until I recover from my injuries before making any decisions."

"Ying!"

Ling Xiaobai nodded in agreement.

After resting for a while, Chu Ning once again started practicing the Profound Fate Technique with Ling Xiaobai for healing.

Under the urging of the Profound Fate Technique, the medicinal power of the Small Celestial Essence Pill dissolved and absorbed faster.

Even so, it took Chu Ning a full ten days to completely dissolve the effects of one Small Celestial Essence Pill.

Chu Ning then took out another Small Celestial Essence Pill for healing.

Unlike the time when Ling Xiaobai could only take one Celestial Essence Grass, Chu Ning could take these Small Celestial Essence Pills without much limitation.

After consuming three Small Celestial Essence Pills, spending an entire month in uninterrupted healing.

Chu Ning finally felt that his injuries had recovered to about seventy to eighty percent.

Although there was still about twenty percent yet to fully heal, Chu Ning felt not much discomfort.

After finishing the day’s healing, Chu Ning once again stood up and began to observe the stone chamber.

At the same time, he cautiously used his Divine Sense to probe around.

During the past month, Chu Ning had been observing the stone chamber whenever he rested.
