Chapter 440: Chapter 212: Refining Spirit Technique Third Layer Perfection, New Secret Technique

Although he receives fixed resources every month, if resources exceed the permitted range, he will naturally need Contribution Points to exchange for them.

Moreover, these Contribution Points are not only usable within the Alchemy Pavilion but can also be exchanged for items like Magical Artifacts, Cultivation Techniques, and Spells.

Chu Ning already understood this point before, so he just nodded now.

"Alright!"

He didn’t specifically ask how many Contribution Points he could exchange; given his current status, it’s unlikely this person would play any tricks in such matters.

He turned his attention to another type of elixir he wanted to refine and asked:

"Do you have Dragon Saliva Fragrance and Cangman Vine?"

The friendly Foundation Establishment Cultivator pondered for a moment before shaking his head and said:

"No, these haven’t been sought in the Spirit Medicine Pavilion before, nor has anyone brought them."

"What about Black Flood Dragon Blood?" Chu Ning asked again.

The friendly cultivator shook his head once more, with some doubt in his eyes.

Because these items are not involved in the sect’s elixirs at all.

Seeing this, Chu Ning stopped asking and turned to leave downstairs.

Then, his gaze inadvertently swept past Wang Ping, causing him to pause his steps.

"Wang Ping, you don’t need to stay in the hall anymore. I’m short of a helper.

Go back to your residence and cultivate well. I’ll call you if there’s anything."

Wang Ping responded with a light "Oh" and then, as usual, greeted warmly:

"Yes, Master!"

Then, he stood there watching Chu Ning leave.

Once Chu Ning’s figure disappeared from the Alchemy Pavilion.

"Boom!"

A commotion suddenly erupted on the second floor.

A Qi Refining Cultivator who seemed to have a good relationship with Wang Ping pulled him while speaking with envy:

"Wang Ping, you’re lucky! You’ve caught Master Chu’s eye."

"Haha, yes, not being in the hall means I’ll have more time to cultivate." Wang Ping scratched his head, showing a happy smile.

Though naive, he’s not foolish and naturally knows being noticed by Chu Ning is much better than staying in the hall.

At least he has more time to cultivate every day.

As for other things, Wang Ping didn’t think too much about them.

Seeing Wang Ping’s expression, many cultivators on the second floor laughed quietly.

"This lad is really lucky without knowing it."

Even the friendly Foundation Establishment Cultivator couldn’t help but sigh softly in his heart.

Wang Ping only felt that not being in the hall meant more time for cultivation.

But they thought the real gain was getting Chu Ning’s guidance and possibly receiving resources occasionally.

Take the Foundation Establishment Pill as an example; it’s extremely difficult for others to obtain one.

But for Chu Ning, is this even a matter to worry about?

"Yet, it seems this naive lad is unaware of this aspect, which might be why Senior Brother Chu favored him."

Chu Ning didn’t think that much.

Bringing Wang Ping along was just a trivial matter for him.

Though Wang Ping is naive, there are upsides to it; Chu Ning finds him agreeable enough. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Now that he’s in the sect and not a Loose Cultivator, sometimes he naturally needs a helper.

From the Alchemy Pavilion, he returned to his cave mansion’s courtyard.

The first thing Chu Ning did was visit the Spirit Medicine Garden and after a look, he was relieved.

The Spirit Medicine Garden had no spirit medicine requiring special attention; although the growth was slower without spells, at least there were no issues.

Moreover, Spirit Plants like the Iron Soul Flower, which he particularly values, Xiaobai oversees the maturation every day.

As Chu Ning was pondering this, Xiaobai already ran up.

"Little one, didn’t get into trouble, did you?"

Chu Ning crouched down and patted Xiaobai’s head.

"Eek!" The little one shook its head immediately.

Chu Ning smiled too; ever since Xiaobai got hurt and signed a contract with him, his control over it has noticeably strengthened.

Otherwise, he’d have had to put it in the Spirit Beast Bag and bring it along these days.

Then, Chu Ning went to check on the Iron Rock Beast next door.

At this moment, the Iron Rock Beast lay in the Spirit Beast Room like a massive boulder.

During his years at Yanfeng, it grew to the size of the mature Iron Rock Beast Chu Ning initially encountered outside Cyan Creek Sect.

But its aura far exceeded the one Chu Ning killed back then.

Seeing it had matured, Chu Ning, not long after arriving at Jiuhua Sect, fed it a Beast Essence Pill.

The Beast Essence Pill was from the pill formula Chu Ning received from Liu Yishan previously.

He refined a batch back then and gave two pills to two Tiger Demons to absorb the Essence Soul Demon Fire from the Red-eyed Demon Tiger.

Now, using it to aid the Iron Rock Beast in breaking through to Tier Two Demon Beast poses no issue.

However, it seems like the pill’s effects haven’t been fully absorbed yet.

As for Xiaobai, half a year ago, it already advanced to Tier Three Demon Beast, akin to Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.

This fellow’s cultivation advancement seems effortless.

After confirming the Iron Rock Beast was fine, Chu Ning returned to his Cultivation Room.

He took out the Flame Wood Spirit Pill and Iron Soul Flower one after another and started cultivating.

As for the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, he initially wanted some spirit medicine to try refining body type pills but failed.

So, he’d temporarily put it aside for now.

Currently, he has Flame Wood Spirit Pill for Qi Refining and Iron Soul Flower paired with Six Spirits Pill for Refining Spirit; these two cultivation types can yield the best results.
