"Thank you, Sect Leader, thank you, Elders."

Then, Chu Ning chatted with a few elders for a while and got up to take his leave.

After Chu Ning’s figure disappeared, Ling Cang finally smiled and said to Yu Changge:

"Sect Leader, it turned out to be the right decision to listen to you this time. After we explained everything clearly to Chu Ning, he seems to have accepted us a bit more.

Otherwise, he might not have handed over the Earth Store Soul Spirit Pill so readily today.

He’s quite the clever fellow."

Before Yu Changge could say anything, Ge Liuyang had already stood up.

"No, I must go back and craft something."

"Why is Elder Ge in such a hurry?" Yu Changge asked with curiosity.

Ge Liuyang responded without hesitation:

"Previously, when Chu Ning and the others went to the Black Dragon Pool, they killed two Tier Four Black Flood Dragons.

They also captured a Tier Four Green Demon Snake alive, and Rong Girl brought back things for me to craft a magical artifact for Chu Ning.

I originally planned to craft it after Sect Leader finished talking with him. Since he’s agreed to stay in the sect, I should quickly refine the items for him."

As he spoke, Ge Liuyang walked out.

"I’ve seen it clearly; with Senior Brother Ling’s intention, many good things from the Alchemy Pavilion will definitely come from Chu Ning in the future.

We can’t let the Artifact Refining Pavilion fall behind; otherwise, there won’t be any good things for us.

I need to ask him for more specific requirements."

As the last word fell, Ge Liuyang’s figure had already disappeared.

Gong Yuyuan immediately laughed and said:

"If I guessed correctly, Junior Brother Ge will likely spend quite a bit of effort and use some good materials for the refinement."

Upon hearing this, several Golden Core Cultivators burst into laughter.

As for Chu Ning, shortly after leaving Nine Heavens Peak, he sensed an Escape Light rapidly chasing behind him.

He vaguely guessed that it must be an elder, so Chu Ning stopped in mid-air.

Before long, he saw Ge Liuyang with his hair disheveled, appearing slightly rough.

"Elder Ge!" Chu Ning cupped his hands and made a salutation.

Ge Liuyang acknowledged and then directly said:

"Nephew Chu, the items Rong Girl brought back for you, I’ve received them.

I wanted to ask you in person if you had any specific requirements but couldn’t find you. Just now, I almost forgot."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning naturally understood that this Golden Core Elder was genuinely going to personally help him with the refinement.

He hurriedly said, "Thank you for your effort, Elder.

I am proficient in a Wind Technique called Divine Escape Technique, but I have never had a suitable magical artifact to use with it."

"Wind Escape Technique?" Ge Liuyang was slightly surprised.

He seemed quite astonished that Chu Ning could use such a Wind Technique.

However, he didn’t ask further but instead said:

"Let’s go, fly a distance and see."

With that, Ge Liuyang took the lead in flying ahead.

Chu Ning naturally followed closely.

The two of them swiftly flew forward.

Initially, Ge Liuyang held back his speed slightly, fearing that Chu Ning wouldn’t keep up.

Although he knew the Wind Escape Technique was fast, Chu Ning was, after all, only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, after flying for a while.

Ge Liuyang noticed that Chu Ning was keeping up effortlessly, so he accelerated his Escape Technique.

"Finally, able to speed up!"

Chu Ning, keeping pace with Ge Liuyang, had been holding back his speed, somewhat aware of the other’s concerns, so he didn’t speak up.

Seeing Ge Liuyang accelerating, he secretly exhaled in relief and promptly sped up to follow closely.

Ge Liuyang’s escape speed increased steadily, but to his surprise, Chu Ning’s speed was not inferior to his at all.

Since advancing to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, Chu Ning’s magical power had improved significantly, greatly benefiting his Divine Wind Escape.

Moreover, the inherent speed of the Divine Wind Escape was extremely fast.

Back on the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, even a Yin Demon Sect elder needed to use a Secret Technique to catch up.

Now, even though Ge Liuyang’s Escape Technique was not slow, he couldn’t shake off Chu Ning.

Until Ge Liuyang flew at top speed, seemingly using some special escape technique.

Chu Ning, although keeping up with some effort, wasn’t completely left behind.

After flying nearly a hundred miles out of the sect, Ge Liuyang finally turned back to the sect.

In this round-trip, Chu Ning naturally consumed a lot of magical power, which Ge Liuyang noticed from the change in Chu Ning’s aura.

After pondering for a moment, he said:

"Your Wind Escape Technique is already very fast, but the magical power consumption is a bit high.

The Black Flood Dragon Hide is large enough, and with additional materials, I will craft a Magic Robe and a pair of Magic Boots for you.

They will not only make you faster but also conserve some magical power."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning was overjoyed and said:

"Thank you, Elder Ge."

"Come find me at the Artifact Refining Pavilion in ten days." Ge Liuyang nodded and left after a brief word, flying away.

Only then did Chu Ning fly back to his cave mansion.

Not far from Spirit Rock Peak, Chu Ning saw a figure standing outside his cave mansion from afar.

He was slightly stunned.

"Why is he here?"

He wondered to himself and maintained his speed, flying to the outside of the cave mansion and landing in front of Yuan Rongzhang.

"Senior Brother Chu!"

Upon seeing Chu Ning arrive, Yuan Rongzhang immediately cupped his hands.

Chu Ning returned the salute and asked, somewhat surprised, "Junior Brother Yuan, why do you have time to visit me today?"

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s question, a trace of embarrassment and discomfort appeared on Yuan Rongzhang’s face.
