Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 392 - 196: Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, Body Refinement Breakthrough

It might also be because of the powerful Divine Sense after advancing to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, his Body Refinement actually increased by a full 200 points, which greatly surprised Chu Ning.

After all, it’s not like during the Foundation Establishment when he was just one step away from a breakthrough.

This time he encountered a Body Refinement bottleneck that lasted for years.

"Is it because of the breakthrough to Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, or is it because of this Jade Bone?"

A thought flashed through Chu Ning’s mind, but he didn’t dwell on it.

Whatever the reason, a test would make it clear.

He immediately began to cultivate the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique on the spot.

As Chu Ning practiced each move in coordination with the Spell, the Jade Bone in his body started to glow faintly, becoming increasingly translucent.

It truly resembled jade.

Furthermore, the powerful aura of life emanating from it surpassed even the Flame Divine Wood Technique he had practiced ten days before.

"So, the Body Refining Techniques are the correct way to use the Jade Bone?"

While feeling overjoyed, Chu Ning kept cultivating without pause.

And as he casually observed his cultivation proficiency within his Sea of Consciousness.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that the proficiency of the Immortal Soul was increasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After cultivating ten times in a row, feeling he had reached his limit.

Chu Ning finally stopped.

As he glanced towards the cultivation proficiency of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

"This Jade Bone can actually help break through the Body Refinement bottleneck.

And the effect is remarkably impressive."

After practicing the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique ten times, it had increased by a full 100 points.

This truly made Chu Ning overjoyed.

To think that the bottleneck of the Immortal Soul had been stuck for nearly three years without any progress.

At this moment, Chu Ning once again looked inward at his body, focusing on the mysterious Jade Bone.

Interestingly, the Jade Bone was no longer lying on the outside of his sternum.

Instead, part of it had already fused into his sternum.

"How extraordinary!"

Chu Ning was beginning to vaguely suspect that this was not really someone’s bone.

But rather something transformed by energy.

Moreover, this thing also gave Chu Ning a vaguely familiar feeling.

"It’s a bit like... Spirit Charm!!"

Chu Ning suddenly related it to the feeling he had when refining the Spirit Charm of the Wood Spirit Seed he had obtained before.

Although the Jade Bone and the Spirit Charm of the Wood Spirit Seed he had before differed completely in aura and pure energy.

Still, Chu Ning could sense a very mysterious connection within.

"Could it be that this Jade Bone is actually formed from Spirit Charm?’

But if that’s the case, why wasn’t it refined by the Grand Elder of the Thunder Fire Sect?

Instead, it remained in his body?"

Chu Ning found it very strange.

At the same time, he looked around again, hoping to find some clues.

He thought, in an ancient Major Sect like the Thunder Fire Sect, there should be more records about Spirit Seeds and Spirit Charms.

Unfortunately, after scanning around again and using his Divine Sense for further sensing, Chu Ning still found nothing.

He then set his sights on the direction of the Stone Gate not far away.

He and Ling Xiaobai had entered directly into this Stone Chamber after passing the restriction; if this is indeed a Stone Chamber within the Grand Elder’s Cave Mansion.

Then beyond this Stone Gate, it could very well be where his complete residence was.

Thinking this way, Chu Ning felt a strong urge to go out and explore.

But after thinking it over, Chu Ning suppressed this urge.

"Since I can cultivate here in peace within this Stone Chamber, it’s better to fully refine this Jade Bone first.

Perhaps, with some time, I could break through the Immortal Soul bottleneck directly.

After all, it’s an extra means of survival."

Once he made up his mind, Chu Ning ultimately decided not to leave the Stone Chamber to explore.

In the days that followed, he focused on cultivating the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique within the Stone Chamber.

And the proficiency of the Immortal Soul was steadily increasing by 100 points each day.

Another twelve days went by like this.

Just as he had done in the previous days, Chu Ning was practicing the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

Suddenly, he noticed an extremely faint sound emanating from within his body.

Curious, Chu Ning looked inward and discovered that the Jade Bone, which had been gradually merging into his sternum over the past days.

Was now fully integrated into his sternum, the two becoming one.

The sternum before Chu Ning had now become as crystalline as jade, appearing extremely mystical.

Then, a sensation of intense heat surged through Chu Ning’s body, rushing towards his head.

Feeling this heat, Chu Ning’s eyes brightened.

Having experienced this multiple times, Chu Ning was no stranger to this feeling.

This is the sensation of breaking through the Body Refinement bottleneck!

Chu Ning immediately stopped his internal observation and concentrated fully on cultivating the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

With each round of cultivation, the sensation of heat within his body began to dissipate, and Chu Ning felt increasingly comfortable all over.

Finally.

When the sternum within Chu Ning’s body returned completely to its normal state, no longer crystalline as jade.

"Boom!"

The feeling as if a shackle in his body had been unlocked reappeared in Chu Ning’s body!

Just with a glance, Chu Ning noticed the change in his Body Refinement progress.

Immortal Soul Perfection!

With this being the case, he should be able to obtain the Divine Power Secret Technique of this layer!
