Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 520 - 238: Matters of Core Formation

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Undying Golden Body (5010/10000)]

points proficiency.

Even though this proficiency isn’t high, it was enough to make Chu Ning overjoyed.

One must know that at this moment, the palm bone had only fused a minuscule, nearly imperceptible part.

If he continues to fuse a little bit daily, with such an increase in proficiency,

he might not even need two years to cultivate to the stage of Undying Golden Body Perfection.

As for the quantity of Jade Bones, Chu Ning wasn’t worried at all, as he had three in hand, and this was the smallest among them.

"Previously, Elixirs for Qi Refining and Refining Spirit were sufficient, while those for Body Tempering weren’t.

Now, all three paths of cultivation can progress simultaneously."

Chu Ning smiled slightly, carefully storing the remaining two pieces of Jade Bone.

Although he felt a slight impulse just now.

He thought about fusing these two Jade Bones into his body as well, refining the three simultaneously to see if the speed would increase.

But he immediately dismissed the idea.

The strong life energy contained within a single Jade Bone was already astonishing enough.

Chu Ning wasn’t sure if refining three Jade Bones at once might cause issues.

Having completed the initial stage with the help of the Jade Bone, improvement was currently impossible, so Chu Ning refocused on the items in front of him.

Reaching out, he picked up the Elixir marked as Dragon Blood Body Tempering Pill and poured out one.

"In nearly three thousand years, these Pills should logically have lost their effectiveness.

However, thanks to the protection of the Cloud Sea Seven-Star Array and some small Restrictions within, most of their efficacy was retained.

The Jiuhua Sect truly has its unique methods."

Murmuring to himself, Chu Ning carefully examined the dark red Pill before him.

In recent years, Chu Ning had delved much into the Alchemy Technique, though he hadn’t encountered this particular Pill.

But after some examination, he could roughly figure it out.

An expression of surprise appeared on his face.

"Indeed, it’s a Body Refining type Elixir, and an Advanced Middle Grade one at that. Its effect on Body Tempering seems quite significant."

This discovery surprised Chu Ning somewhat.

Even for a sect like Jiuhua, which was once renowned for its Alchemy Techniques, he hadn’t found such high-level Body Tempering Elixirs.

The Dragon Saliva Black Flood Dragon Pill that Chu Ning made himself was only an Intermediate Upper Grade Elixir, reaching the level of Advanced Elixir only after Chu Ning’s Refining Spirit.

"I do wonder which sect’s Elixir this is. With such a high-level Body Tempering Elixir, logically, someone specializing in the Body Refining path must exist."

Chu Ning pondered, his gaze involuntarily flickering.

The follow-up Cultivation Techniques for his Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique were absent, but if a sect had Body Refining Cultivators, perhaps some clues could be found.

He still had a map of the Nine Derivation Spirit Mountain in his possession, and Chu Ning speculated it might lead to the Cave Mansion of the Nine Derivation Ascendant who created the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

But after examining it many times, he found the map offered no insight other than a name.

At this point, Chu Ning took out another Jade Box.

This Jade Box was one of three he had obtained from the Thunder Fire Sect ruins.

Chu Ning extracted the map of the Nine Derivation Spirit Mountain, attempting once more to use Divine Sense or Magical Power, or even the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique on it.

Then he shook his head, unable to fathom the map with his current cultivation.

Chu Ning thought for a bit, murmuring:

"Perhaps I should wait for the Sect to organize these items before examining them again."

Since the first volume of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique was in circulation, there might as well be follow-up techniques.

At that moment, Chu Ning’s Divine Sense inadvertently swept over the remaining two Jade Boxes in his Storage Bag.

He then took one out.

Among these, one contained a feather from the Fiery Sun Spirit Bird.

Chu Ning had sensed its power before; even with his increased cultivation, the feather was beyond his handling.

Thus he did not take it out for a look.

The other Jade Box had come from that Divine Dream Ascendant’s Cave Mansion.

In the Reincarnation Ancient Cave, besides obtaining the Reincarnation Magic Disc and the complete Refining Spirit Technique left by the Divine Dream Ascendant,

Chu Ning also acquired an unopened Jade Box.

However, his Spiritual Sense wasn’t as strong back then.

He later put it in the Storage Bag and forgot to check again.

Thinking that his Spiritual Sense had greatly improved, Chu Ning took out the Jade Box, channeling his Divine Sense gathered by the Refining Spirit Technique toward it.

With his now far superior Spiritual Sense, he indeed discovered differences.

"So there was a Restriction on this Jade Box. My previous Spiritual Sense wasn’t strong enough to even detect it."

Chu Ning muttered, chuckling lightly.

He had fully learned the method for breaking the Restrictions left by the Divine Dream Ascendant.

In his eyes, such Restrictions were nothing significant.

Then, Chu Ning immediately cast a Spiritual Sense Seal into the Jade Box’s Restriction.

After a few attempts, the Jade Box flashed white, breaking the Restriction.

Chu Ning effortlessly opened the Jade Box.

He was slightly stunned.

Inside was a black key-like object, and nearby lay a Jade Scroll.

Curious, Chu Ning picked up the cool-to-the-touch black key, unsure of its material.
