Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 576 - 256: Ancient Treasures, Spirit Treasures, and the Immortal Dew Pill

"The Spiritual Qi on Celestial Mist Peak is indeed far more abundant, it might already possess a Tier Four Spirit Vein!"

Chu Ning had just landed atop Celestial Mist Peak and immediately sensed the difference between here and Spirit Rock Peak.

Then he proceeded directly to the only cave mansion on this peak.

Compared to Spirit Rock Peak, this cave mansion was five or six times larger, at the very least.

"It’s just perfect, Da Jin and Xiao Jin keep growing bigger. The previous Spirit Beast Room was becoming a bit cramped, but here they can have more space."

Chu Ning glanced up at the two Golden Thunder Eagles.

In over half a year, the two eagles seemed to have grown even larger, and were truly only one step away from advancing to Tier Four Demon Beasts.

Ling Xiaobai, this little fellow, didn’t seem to grow, though it was on the brink of promoting to a Fifth Level Demon Beast, becoming comparable to a Golden Core Cultivator.

Yet there were no signs of any increase in size, leaving Chu Ning quite puzzled.

Generally speaking, Spirit Beasts undergo certain physical changes during their growth through promotion.

Besides acquiring an extra tail upon reaching Tier Two, the little fellow’s appearance had remained unchanged to this day.

After entering the cave mansion, Chu Ning indeed discovered that the arrays here were much more advanced than those Cen Zijin had given him.

Whether it was the Defense Restriction or the Gathering Spirit effect, they were of a higher grade by far.

Given this, Chu Ning naturally left the arrays untouched.

He began some simple modifications to the cave mansion, besides adding more to the Spirit Beast Room.

Chu Ning also specifically created a room for Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

Having successfully achieved Core Formation, he could now use Pill Fire to refine Elixirs and Magical Treasures, even without Earth Fire.

In fact, those advanced elixirs must be refined using Pill Fire.

After completing the renovations, Chu Ning headed straight to the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

He had previously considered the matter of refining the Five Elements Sword Array and had requested the Artifact Refining Pavilion to prepare the materials in advance.

Before his Core Formation, Su Yuqing had conveyed through Cui Rongrong that the materials were ready.

Chu Ning had planned to retrieve them after completing the transformation and tempering of his Magical Power.

Who would have thought that he would proceed directly to Core Formation, and thus hadn’t collected them yet.

Besides this, Chu Ning also needed a favor from Ge Liuyang.

Flying toward the Artifact Refining Pavilion, Ge Liuyang sensed Chu Ning’s presence from a distance.

In the midst of discussing matters with Lu Jiakang and Cui Rongrong, Ge Liuyang laughed and said:

"Go out and welcome him, your Junior Martial Uncle Chu has arrived. I suppose he’s here to collect the artifact refining materials for Magical Treasure crafting."

"Junior Martial Uncle Chu!"

Lu Jiakang and Cui Rongrong were initially taken aback, but quickly realized that Ge Liuyang was referring to Chu Ning.

Their expressions turned somewhat complicated.

Back when Chu Ning first joined the Jiuhua Sect, they went together to the Black Dragon Pool and Myriad Phenomena Cliff.

They were among the earliest cultivators to interact with Chu Ning in the sect, aside from the Alchemy Pavilion cultivators.

Now this Senior Brother Chu had suddenly become their Junior Martial Uncle, and they hadn’t quite adjusted to the title.

Arriving at the Artifact Refining Pavilion, they indeed saw Chu Ning leap off the Golden Thunder Eagle.

Promptly, they cupped their hands and bowed in salute, saying:

"Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle Chu!"

Initially, when everyone called him Elder Chu, Chu Ning hadn’t felt much of a difference.

Now, hearing two old friends call him Junior Martial Uncle caught him a bit off guard.

However, he understood that this was an unspoken rule in the Cultivation Realm, so he didn’t insist on them changing it, instead saying with a smile:

"No need to be so formal with me. Is Senior Brother Ge around? I have some matters to consult with him."

"The Elder is in the pavilion," Cui Rongrong responded then.

Chu Ning was guided by the two into Ge Liuyang’s Cultivation Room, while Lu Jiakang and Cui Rongrong did not follow.

For a Golden Core Cultivator, a Magical Treasure is extremely important, especially since Chu Ning was already proficient in Artifact Refining, naturally, it would be a Lifebound Magical Treasure.

Certain matters were not convenient for them to overhear.

"These materials are what you previously requested from the pavilion,"

Upon entering the room, Ge Liuyang handed a pile of materials to Chu Ning.

Then, with some curiosity, asked:

"Junior Brother, are you preparing to refine a Lifebound Magical Treasure? But judging by the diverse materials you’ve asked for, I can’t deduce what kind of treasure you intend to craft."

Ge Liuyang was indeed curious about these materials Chu Ning had requested, which encompassed several attributes.

Chu Ning did not conceal his intent at this moment, stating directly:

"I intend to refine a few Spirit Swords from the Five Elements Sword Array."

"The Five Elements Sword Array?" Upon hearing this, Ge Liuyang exclaimed in surprise.

As the Elder in charge of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, he certainly knew of this Magical Treasure.

With the materials Chu Ning needed in mind, Ge Liuyang came to an understanding and said:

"Refining this sword array is exceedingly challenging. It seems that you intend to first refine the Spirit Swords of the Wood, Fire, and Earth attributes."

"Exactly!" Chu Ning nodded at this moment.

"I also wished to ask Senior Brother Ge for a favor."

Speaking thus, Chu Ning retrieved a Black Chain made of Black Profound Gold from his Storage Bag.

"I would like to ask Senior Brother to use the pavilion’s Inheritance Engraving Saber to extract three segments of this Black Profound Gold."

Chu Ning knew that within the Jiuhua Sect’s Artifact Refining Pavilion, there was an ancient Inheritance Engraving Saber capable of cutting gold and breaking jade.

It was rumored to be an invaluable Magical Treasure.

However, it was typically only used for artifact refining and kept under the care of each generation’s Artifact Refining Pavilion Elder.

Even Chu Ning had never seen it before.

"Black Profound Gold!"

At this moment, Ge Liuyang displayed an expression of surprise.
