Chapter 491 - 228: Celestial Tier Techniques
Today I heard about this competition, so I watched Senior Brother Lu and others refining artifacts.
When it was my turn, I followed the methods in the records and added my insights from observing earlier.
I didn’t expect the purity of this essence refinement to be so high."
Chu Ning didn’t mention his Artifact Venerable Spirit Body nor the Divine Splitting Technique, only speaking truthfully about everything else.
Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, the people from Jiuhua Sect exchanged glances, all showing expressions of astonishment.
"A genius indeed!"
Ge Liuyang immediately exclaimed.
"Nephew Chu, you have an exceptional Talent for artifact refining. It’s a shame you didn’t learn refining earlier.
No way, you must come to our Artifact Refining Pavilion."
"Hold on!" Ling Cang quickly interrupted, glaring at Ge Liuyang.
He had a quite unkind demeanor.
"Ge Liuyang, Chu Ning clearly belongs to the Alchemy Pavilion, so why should he go to your Artifact Refining Pavilion?"
Upon hearing this, Ge Liuyang’s excited expression slightly paused, then he smiled and said:
"It doesn’t matter, Chu Ning is now the senior brother in the sect, not just from your Alchemy Pavilion alone.
He can surely come to our Artifact Refining Pavilion to learn refining."
Chu Ning immediately said, "I am indeed interested in artifact refining and will naturally go to the pavilion to seek guidance from Elder Ge.
Honestly, even though I’ve just learned the Nine Luo Refining Essence Method, I’m still quite clueless about refining."
Chu Ning was being truthful; having unlocked the Artifact Venerable Spirit Body, he naturally wanted to learn refining for preparing the crafting of Magical Artifacts and Treasures in the future.
Hearing this, Ge Liuyang chuckled and said, "No problem, I’ll definitely teach you hands-on."
Ling Cang, standing by, slightly opened his mouth as if wanting to remind Chu Ning not to neglect his alchemy studies.
However, the words stopped at his lips.
With Chu Ning’s current proficiency in alchemy, the next step was simply to wait until he could use Pill Fire to refine Advanced Elixirs after his Core Formation.
After all, Chu Ning’s Pill Formation Success Rate for Intermediate Upper Grade Elixirs had already reached perfection.
"We must ensure Chu Ning often comes to the Alchemy Pavilion to refine pills and guide other Alchemists in their Alchemy Technique,"
Ling Cang quietly pondered to himself.
Yu Changge, hearing both elders vying for Chu Ning, laughed:
"In our Jiuhua Sect at its peak, several seniors mastered both Pill and Artifact Cultivation.
No need for the two elders to argue; Nephew Chu will likely take this path in the future as well.
However, that Magical Combat... "
Yu Changge looked at Chu Ning, somewhat puzzled, and asked:
"Nephew Chu, after Ao Xuan resisted your Magical Treasure’s attack, he probably used a Spiritual Sense Attack?
How did you counter it and even cause him injury?"
At that time, the Golden Core Cultivator on the high platform could only roughly observe the situation.
But as there was a Restriction, and Chu Ning used Secret Arts,
even Yu Changge, a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, couldn’t fully discern everything.
Chu Ning had anticipated Yu Changge and others might ask about this matter.
Thus, he candidly replied:
"Actually, I used a small trick; my Divine Sense is strong, and Ao Xuan’s Spiritual Sense Attack couldn’t harm mine.
But to confuse him, I pretended my Sea of Consciousness was injured, attempting to bait him into making a careless move for a counterattack opportunity."
After saying this, Chu Ning paused slightly, then continued:
"But I don’t know if it was because he overused his Divine Sense without actually hurting mine,
It seemed like he suffered a backlash, and I seized this chance to use a Secret Technique I learned before to heavily strike him."
Chu Ning actually trusted the people from Jiuhua Sect.
But even so, he couldn’t disclose the Forbidden God Technique, which was a System rewarded Secret Technique, to them.
As for the strong Divine Sense, if pressed further, he could mention acquiring a Refining Spirit Technique.
If further queried, he could even mention the Condensed Yuan Slash.
Though it was a System reward, it belonged to the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique’s inherent Secret Arts.
Perhaps in some places with a complete Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, this Secret Art’s cultivation method is available as well.
But after Chu Ning finished speaking, Yu Changge merely nodded and said:
"I see, no wonder people from Daluo Sect said Ao Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness was damaged."
After speaking, Yu Changge did not continue to pursue the matter.
He did not even ask about the origins of Chu Ning’s Magical Treasures and Spells.
Nor did he inquire why Chu Ning had such formidable Magical Power right upon reaching Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
At this moment, Yu Changge shifted the topic to the ruins matter.
"The ruins of our sect’s fallen seniors are in a Small Space that isn’t entirely stable. It might take another one to two months to stabilize enough for cultivators to enter.
Elder Gong and a Golden Core Elder from Daluo Sect are guarding there; once conditions for entry are met, they will send a message at once."
Yu Changge then addressed a Golden Core Cultivator with a long beard and another tall Golden Core Cultivator:
"Elder Luo, Elder He, I’m concerned Daluo Sect might have other intentions.
Would it be possible for you to visit Wolong Mountain and accompany Elder Gong to ensure mutual assistance?"
"Alright, Sect Leader Senior Brother, we will go right away," the bearded elder surnamed Luo immediately replied.
With that, the two of them got up and left.
Yu Changge then looked at Chu Ning and the other two.
"The time for the ruins opening is not yet certain; Nephew Lu and Nephew Yuan are injured, so first, let’s see how your recovery progresses.
Then we’ll decide whether to enter the ruins; as for Nephew Chu, it depends on your own willingness."
