Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 397 - 198: Top Level Spell, Wind and Fire Scorched Earth

"This Jade Token can indeed control the puppet beasts within this cave mansion!"

Chu Ning attempted once more, and these puppet beasts were directly under his control.

Overjoyed, he unceremoniously stored the mechanical puppet beasts into his own storage bag.

"When these puppet beasts attacked autonomously before, their abilities exceeded the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.

If I can control them with Divine Sense, they might display power equivalent to the Middle Stage or even Late Stage of Foundation Establishment."

Chu Ning muttered softly.

Previously, he had a puppet damaged by a Golden Core elder of the Yin Demon Sect.

Now, being able to acquire four stronger puppets naturally delighted Chu Ning immensely.

Immediately, Chu Ning released his Divine Sense to explore inside the cave mansion.

His Divine Sense was powerful now, and he couldn’t probe only a few places with enforced stone chambers and restrictions.

The rest was completely visible to him.

Since he found no danger inside the cave mansion, Chu Ning walked straight in.

Then, he began searching each cave mansion one by one.

About an incense stick’s time later, Chu Ning had piled up in front of him a collection of things.

"It seems that after the battle with the Outer Celestial Demons, the resources of the Thunder Fire Sect’s cultivators were pretty much exhausted.

Even the cave mansion of a Nascent Soul Cultivator doesn’t have much good stuff."

Thinking like this, Chu Ning was not entirely without gains.

At the moment, there were over a dozen puppet remnants before him.

These remnants included both beast-shaped puppets and human-shaped puppets.

Some were severely damaged, leaving only small parts usable.

Seven or eight were still fairly intact, only the internal restrictions had issues.

Chu Ning had been studying the puppetry technique for several years, and it happened to be the Thunder Fire Sect’s puppetry technique.

So he quickly identified that these dozen puppets were all remnants of Core Formation Stage puppets.

With Chu Ning’s current skill level, he couldn’t yet repair these puppets.

But Chu Ning knew these were good things, and if someday his puppet refining technique improved, he could repair a few.

That would be incredible.

Thus, Chu Ning collected all these puppet remnants from the various stone chambers.

Meanwhile, he also acquired around seven or eight types of artifact refining materials.

Although he wasn’t knowledgeable about artifact refining, just by looking at these materials, he knew they were extraordinary.

"Perhaps the Thunder Fire Sect feared being overrun by the Outer Celestial Demons back then, so there’re no inheritance techniques or the like in the cave mansion.

Later, maybe they created such things in the spatial rift, but perhaps they put them on the ninth layer.

Or they hid them somewhere else."

Chu Ning speculated in his mind.

Thunder Fire Sect, being a top-level sect of the time, could greatly enhance one’s strength by obtaining one or two of such sect’s secret inheritances.

Especially since this sect’s fire element cultivation techniques and spells were so powerful.

However, after carefully searching within two cave mansions, Chu Ning found nothing.

Feeling a bit regretful, he could only ponder so.

After sweeping the cave mansion once, Chu Ning then descended to the seventh layer, arriving at the sixth layer of the cave mansion.

He had visited this layer once before, where he obtained the alchemy furnace and the defense armor.

Without stopping, he was ready to continue downward.

After a few steps, Chu Ning couldn’t help glancing at a side cave mansion.

He had been to this cave before; there weren’t any restrictions outside, but there was a restricted stone chamber inside.

Last time, he didn’t even enter; he just let Xiaobai in to fetch the armor.

Now feeling curious, Chu Ning walked into this cave mansion.

Arriving in front of the stone chamber, it was still sealed by a restriction.

However, Chu Ning now had deeper cultivation, and more understanding of various restrictions through more exposure.

He faintly sensed that this restriction seemed slightly weaker than last time he came.

"Indeed, after the array restriction outside the cave mansion was destroyed, the restriction here gradually weakened over time."

Chu Ning pondered, then said to Ling Xiaobai:

"Xiaobai, let’s go, take me inside!"

Last time, Ling Xiaobai was still in recovery and hadn’t advanced, so he couldn’t bring Chu Ning in.

Now it was possible.

In a flash of white light, Chu Ning followed Ling Xiaobai into the stone chamber.

He immediately began to survey his surroundings.

Similar to the many stone chambers he had seen at this place before, the room was mostly empty.

But what slightly puzzled Chu Ning was that one side of this chamber had rows of three-dimensional statues.

Chu Ning recognized these statues.

When he first entered this place, he had seen them in the main hall.

Except for the two sect leaders’ statues, the other fifteen elder-level statues were all here.

Chu Ning began to use Divine Sense to carefully examine the statue closest to him.

After checking for a long time, he didn’t find anything unusual.

So, he started examining another statue, but again found nothing.

After looking around, Chu Ning raised his eyebrow slightly.

"This elder of the Thunder Fire Sect didn’t hold a low position here. Did they carve these statues on the wall just out of interest?"

Chu Ning wondered inwardly, then asked Ling Xiaobai:

"Xiaobai, where did you get this armor last time?"

Ling Xiaobai immediately went to a statue.

"From this statue."
