Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 495 - 229: Five Elements Chaos Technique

This is also why Yu Changge and others, knowing that Chu Ning’s cultivation techniques and spells were not just what he showed,

including his magical treasures and other items, far surpassed those of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators,

they did not inquire too much about it.

Chu Ning held the jade scroll and flew back to his cave mansion on Spirit Rock Peak.

Wang Ping was standing outside the cave mansion at the moment and, upon seeing Chu Ning’s return, he grinned and said:

"Uncle-Master, you’re back! I’ve been waiting for you for quite some time."

"Waited for me for a long time, is there something you need?" Chu Ning glanced at Wang Ping, asking with a slight smile.

Wang Ping nodded and said:

"The pavilion said you’ve been in seclusion for a long time, and it’s been a while since I’ve been asked to fetch spirit medicine. They want to know what spirit medicine you need and when you’ll need alchemy, so they can prepare in advance."

Chu Ning asked with some confusion, "Why are they so eager?"

Wang Ping scratched his head and said:

"I guess they might want to ask you to refine some elixirs. I overheard them talking about how the stock of Foundation Establishment Pills and other elixirs in the pavilion is running low."

Chu Ning, upon hearing this, smiled.

"You’re not just naive; you occasionally show some cleverness. Go tell them that I’ll go tomorrow to fetch the spirit medicine and refine a few batches of elixirs."

"Yes, Uncle-Master."

With that, Wang Ping turned to leave.

"Hold on," Chu Ning called out to Wang Ping just as he was about to leave.

"Is there nothing else you want to tell me?"

Wang Ping turned back, looking at Chu Ning with a bewildered expression.

"Uncle-Master, they just instructed me on this matter, nothing else."

Chu Ning smiled and asked, "What about yourself?"

"Myself? I don’t have anything either." Wang Ping scratched his head.

"Just when I said you’re not naive, you start acting naive again." Chu Ning shook his head and smiled.

He pointed at Wang Ping and said:

"Your cultivation progress is not slow. Six years ago, you reached Qi Refining Perfection, and now you’ve reached the peak of this realm. You can start preparing for Foundation Establishment, right?"

"Yes!" Wang Ping’s face showed joy upon hearing this.

"Uncle-Master, I plan to accumulate some contribution points, and in half a year, I can exchange them for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

At that time, I’ll begin attempting to establish a foundation."

Chu Ning glanced at Wang Ping, surprised to find someone so earnest.

So, he decided not to tease him anymore, took out a small jade bottle, and handed it to Wang Ping.

"Take this."

"What is this, for the pavilion?" Wang Ping accepted the small jade bottle from Chu Ning.

Upon hearing that it was for himself, Wang Ping seemed to realize something and immediately opened the jade bottle.

The next moment, he exclaimed.

"Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Then, Wang Ping stammered, "Uncle-Master, you, you’re giving me a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Chu Ning smiled and asked, "What? You don’t need it?"

"I need it! I need it!" Wang Ping, no longer naive, hurriedly bowed to Chu Ning in thanks.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master, for the elixir!"

Only then did Chu Ning smile and nodded, waving his hand as he said:

"Go ahead, save your contribution points for exchanging other resources in the future."

After sending off a grateful Wang Ping, Chu Ning returned to his cave mansion, which he had left just a day ago.

"I didn’t expect to encounter such a significant sect affair just after breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment,"

Chu Ning sighed and shook his head slightly.

Then he sat down and picked up the jade scroll he had brought back from the Collection Pavilion, examining it carefully.

After a long time, Chu Ning put down the jade scroll.

"This senior from the sect is called Shen Bai, and the ancient cultivator was known as True Master Infinite."

The information recorded in the jade scroll is mostly consistent with what Liu Zhaolin said,

only more detailed, such as that the cave mansion of True Master Infinite was not discovered by Shen Bai, the senior of Jiuhua Sect.

Rather, it was discovered by a friend of his in the Daluo Sect, who thought it would help Shen Bai, and so he gave it to him.

Later, that person from the Daluo Sect was trapped at the Golden Core Stage and exhausted his lifespan, while Shen Bai entered the Nascent Soul Stage.

Chu Ning was quite moved upon reading this.

Clearly, Jiuhua Sect and Daluo Sect were friendly before, but now their relations have soured – such is the way of the world.

With this sentiment, Chu Ning’s mind turned to the Five Elements Chaos Technique.

"According to Elder Shen’s introduction to this cultivation technique, it truly suits me well.

Next, no matter which attribute’s spirit body awakens, I can cultivate it.

Moreover, in continuing to awaken other attributes, it doesn’t necessarily require frequent changes in cultivation techniques."

Although Chu Ning knew that seeking loopholes in the system to refresh talents every time a layer of cultivation technique is mastered was possible,

for instance, he could find another low-tier cultivation technique with numerous layers to cultivate,

he also suspected that this loophole might not be so straightforward.

Intentionally causing trouble for the system gave Chu Ning a feeling of unnecessary troubles.

Instead, it’s better to follow the system’s directions to find suitable cultivation techniques.

Besides, as the realm advances, changing cultivation techniques becomes increasingly challenging and risky.

Chu Ning did not want to risk too much for little gain; after all, the array of spirit body talents he had refreshed already made his talent incredibly strong.

Moreover, there would be more to come.

These thoughts flashed through Chu Ning’s mind, and he quickly made up his mind.

"Since there is such an opportunity now, I should take advantage of it.

If I indeed find the Five Elements Chaos Technique, it will be a safety measure."

After making a round in Jiuhua Sect’s Collection Pavilion, Chu Ning had long realized the rarity of multi-attribute cultivation techniques, so given the opportunity,

he decided to give it a try.

However, Ling Cang made a valid point: after gravely injuring Ao Xuan and ruining Daluo Sect’s plan,

Daluo Sect would surely see him as a thorn in their side, attending directly would be too risky.

Having made up his mind, Chu Ning directly went to Yu Changge’s cave mansion on Nine Heavens Peak that evening.

A month later, news came from the sect.

The small space relic at Wolong Mountain had stabilized, and the sect selected twenty cultivators to search for lost Jiuhua Sect inheritances.

Half a month earlier, Chu Ning had refined several batches of elixirs in the Alchemy Pavilion and once again announced his secluded cultivation,

citing a need to consolidate his Foundation Establishment Late Stage realm.
