Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 527 - 240: Undying Golden Body Perfection—Spirit Body Can Be Refreshed

As he spoke, Tang Yu’s gaze swept from Yu Changge to Chu Ning.

"Chu Ning, your actual age should be around forty, right?"

Tang Yu’s words immediately caused the Golden Core cultivators present to show expressions of shock.

From Chu Ning’s appearance, they could naturally see that he must have established his Foundation at a young age, and he wasn’t very old now.

However, they never expected that Chu Ning would be this young.

Everyone was staring at Chu Ning, waiting for his answer.

Chu Ning was slightly surprised, not expecting Tang Yu to discern his age with just a glance.

But he was also uncertain whether these Nascent Soul cultivators could see through some of his cultivation secrets.

"You don’t need to worry about anything else; I only practiced a certain secret technique previously, which allows me to roughly see age."

Tang Yu smiled at this moment.

"Although Nascent Soul cultivators have some divine techniques, they are not omnipotent."

Hearing this, Chu Ning relaxed in his heart and replied honestly:

"This disciple is thirty-nine this year!"

He joined the Cyan Creek Sect at fifteen, so his cultivation has indeed been over twenty years, making him approximately forty.

"Thirty-nine!"

When Chu Ning spoke, even the Golden Core cultivators couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Ge Liuyang clicked his tongue in wonder and said:

"A Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator at thirty-nine, Nephew Chu, you have a chance to form a Golden Core before seventy!"

Though the other Golden Core cultivators remained silent, their eyes were filled with astonishment.

In the cultivation realm, forming a Golden Core within a century is considered extraordinary talent.

But now, Chu Ning hopes to form his Golden Core before seventy, which is indeed astonishing!

Listening to these exclamations, Chu Ning said nothing, silently calculating the time in his heart.

If all goes well, he should spend about ten years reaching perfection in the fourth layer of the Flame Divine Wood Technique.

Then, based on his situation, he would strive to form his Core as soon as possible, which could indeed be achieved within twenty years if things went smoothly.

Tang Yu also had a look of delight in his eyes at this moment.

"Alright, Chu Ning, from now on, focus on your cultivation and strive to form your Core as soon as possible.

As for the Daluo Sect, you need not concern yourself too much."

Saying this, Tang Yu turned to Yu Changge and said:

"In this instance, their Daluo Sect lost a Golden Core cultivator and many Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators.

They even lost a fake Core Formation stage cultivator, equivalent to two Golden Core cultivators, which should be quite painful for them for a while.

In a few days, I’ll show my face at the Cloud Peak Alliance, so even if they want to mention it, they cannot.

Those disciples who went to Wolong Valley should avoid going out for some time, lest the people from the Daluo Sect harbor ill intentions."

Yu Changge immediately agreed, having arranged things just so previously.

Although Chu Ning was not explicitly dispatched to the Daluo Sect, he also had no intention of going out.

Afterward, Chu Ning spent a long time focused solely on his cultivation in his cave mansion.

The Jiuhua Sect fully opened its resources to Chu Ning, who was the sect’s most potential Golden Core cultivator in the past twenty or thirty years.

For Chu Ning, possessing the Twin Pill with wood and fire dual attributes, the Jade Bone, and two Refining Spirit type elixirs, his cultivation resources were more than sufficient.

Upon learning that Chu Ning needed Tier Five Demon Beast Inner Cores for refining the Twin Pill, Tang Yu personally ventured into the depths of the Cloud Peak Mountain Range from Jiuhua Mountain to hunt several Tier Five Demon Beasts and brought back the demon cores for Chu Ning’s cultivation.

Thus, three years passed rapidly.

On this day, in the cave mansion at Spirit Rock Peak, Chu Ning stood in the cultivation room, a trace of expectation in his eyes.

"Refining the Jade Bone is progressing slower than I anticipated, and it becomes increasingly challenging as I continue.

Initially, every session of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique could refine a strand of its pure energy.

Now, I have to practice multiple times to refine a single strand, and similarly, the proficiency of the Undying Golden Body improves more slowly."

Under such circumstances, it took Chu Ning five months to refine his hand bones, ten months for the leg bones.

The skull, however, had taken over a year and a half, and he still hadn’t fully refined it.

But the rewards were plentiful.

Thinking so, Chu Ning looked at the cultivation proficiency in his mind.

[Flame Divine Wood Technique (Profound Tier Upper Grade), Fourth Layer (7725/40000)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Undying Golden Body (9996/10000)]

[Refining Spirit Technique, Fourth Layer (16057/64000)]

Over three years, the Flame Divine Wood Technique had been cultivated to over one-sixth of its proficiency.

And the Undying Golden Body, after more than ten years of cultivation, was now at the breakthrough point to perfection.

The three jade bones were certainly significant contributors.

"A portion of the skull is yet to be refined, but the Undying Golden Body is at its breakthrough point.

Today, if I cultivate once more, I will surely break through!"

With this thought, Chu Ning made up his mind and started practicing the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique without further hesitation.

Immediately, strands of life energy emitted from the jade bone, slowly being refined through the practice of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

After practicing the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique five times, Chu Ning started to feel a familiar heat within his body.

As Chu Ning continued cultivating, the heat sensation gradually subsided.

Replaced by an exhilarating sense of comfort.

Simultaneously, it felt as though a powerful force was surging within.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, the sensation of releasing bodily restraints occurred once again.

All the life energy from the jade bone surged into Chu Ning’s body at this moment.

The jade bone, initially only half-merged, rapidly fused with his skull with visible speed.

Not far away, Ling Xiaobai, who was squatting, looked at Chu Ning, eyes flickering with a hint of wonder.

At this instant, Chu Ning’s entire being became as translucent as jade.

Meanwhile, the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth converged swiftly toward Chu Ning’s body.

Faintly forming a substantial vortex of Spiritual Qi.

At this moment, Chu Ning seemed to sense something, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating once more.

This time, he was practicing the Flame Divine Wood Technique, not the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

He cultivated continuously for ten days and nights.

After ten days, the Spiritual Qi vortex around Chu Ning dissipated, and he slowly opened his eyes, which had remained shut.

"Achieving the Undying Golden Body Perfection was indeed beyond my expectations."

In a low voice, Chu Ning’s eyes flickered with an unusual color.

Before, he had always believed that the cultivation of the Undying Golden Body solely entailed body refinement.

He hadn’t anticipated that upon reaching perfection, he would suddenly sense breakthroughs happening both in Qi Refining and Refining Spirit.

Thus, in the ensuing ten days, he continuously cultivated the Flame Divine Wood Technique and the Refining Spirit Technique.

Consequently, the proficiency of both his Qi Refining and Refining Spirit techniques saw rapid advancements.

"Therefore, my previous assumption wasn’t incorrect; Qi Refining, Body Refinement, and Spirit Refining are interconnected.

Refining Qi first by refining the body, a firm foundation, seems very reasonable."

Chu Ning’s eyes flickered slightly at this moment, and he couldn’t help but glance toward the cultivation proficiency in his mind.

[Flame Divine Wood Technique (Profound Tier Upper Grade), Fourth Layer (8025/40000)]

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

[Refining Spirit Technique, Fourth Layer (16357/64000)]

Both the Flame Divine Wood Technique and Refining Spirit Technique had increased by 300 points!

At this moment, Chu Ning’s gaze continued to look outward.

Now that the Undying Golden Body cultivation had reached the Perfection Stage, naturally, a new Divine Power Secret Technique could be unlocked.

The first volume of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique had already provided him with four secret techniques: Celestial Spirit Fist, Thunder Shock Step, Condensed Yuan Slash, and Soul-Breaking Strike.

Now that Volume One had been perfected, he was curious to see what new divine technique would emerge.

As he looked, Chu Ning couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

"Both a Spirit Body and a Secret Technique?"
