Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 216 - 134: Refinement of Spirit Charm Qi, Major Cultivation Advancement (Part 3)
Upon hearing these words, Xin Wuya’s face revealed a slight smile.
"In the sect, don’t interfere with them, but ensure they do not leave the sect.
Especially Chu Ning, the Spirit Seed has fled, and even if found, it will still require him, the last person who acquired the Spirit Charm, to guide it.
Keep a close watch on him!"
"Yes!"
With these words acknowledged, He Litao left, and the hall returned to silence.
Yet Xin Wuya remained seated in the chair, motionless, lost in thought.
At this moment, Chu Ning, having left Xin Wuya’s cave mansion, after some contemplation, did not return directly to his cave talisman, but instead headed towards the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.
Since the sect leader had spoken, he naturally wouldn’t waste such an opportunity.
The Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, much like the Hundred Treasures Pavilion in the Outer Sect, was a place that provided various cultivation resources for the inner sect cultivators.
Its location was quite central in the inner sect, making it easy to find.
Upon entering the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, he was surprised to find that the person on duty was actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The cultivator introduced himself as Ji Mengliang, with ordinary looks but an exceptionally kind demeanor, with a smile on his face.
At first glance, Ji Mengliang easily reminded Chu Ning of Senior Brother Zhuang Yunde.
After Chu Ning handed over a jade talisman for identification, the cultivator said directly:
"Oh, so it’s Nephew Chu.
By order of the sect, you may receive some cultivation resources of your choice. What would Nephew Chu like?"
"Junior Martial Uncle Ji, I would like to take some elixirs for cultivation, such as the Spiritual Essence Pill..."
As Chu Ning finished speaking, Ji Mengliang immediately smiled and asked:
"Nephew Chu, you cultivate the Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique, right? Although the Spiritual Essence Pill is useful for disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining to improve their cultivation,
the effect is not as good as the Wood Element Pill specifically for the Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique."
"Wood Element Pill?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning was slightly taken aback, as he knew little about elixirs.
Previously, during his time at Yan Workshop, he had always consumed the Spiritual Essence Pill.
He had no idea that there was a pill specifically for the Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique.
"In terms of effectiveness, one Wood Element Pill is equivalent to two Spiritual Essence Pills for cultivators of the Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique."
Upon hearing this from Ji Mengliang, Chu Ning had no hesitation and immediately opted for the Wood Element Pill.
He requested a total of 60 pills in one go.
Ji Mengliang, upon hearing the quantity Chu Ning requested, didn’t say much, instead retrieved two bottles of elixirs and handed them to Chu Ning.
A thought crossed Chu Ning’s mind, and he asked Ji Mengliang:
"Junior Martial Uncle Ji, is there any suitable magical artifact you could recommend?"
"Haha." Ji Mengliang chuckled softly at this point.
"Nephew Chu, the sect’s order is to provide sufficient resources to boost your cultivation.
This does not include various magical artifacts."
Chu Ning was slightly taken aback by these words, but quickly regained his composure and continued:
"What about talisman-making manuals? Or techniques?"
"Those can be allowed," Ji Mengliang said with a smile.
"Practicing talisman-making or techniques alongside cultivation can indeed accelerate one’s progress.
However, these are not found in the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion; they are in the Library Pavilion. You might want to take a look there."
Chu Ning nodded in agreement, and after bidding farewell to Ji Mengliang, he left the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.
After walking some distance, Chu Ning shook his head silently.
Xin Wuya spoke as if everything was accessible and free for the taking.
In the end, he could only manage to get some elixirs.
He initially hoped to seize this opportunity to acquire a top level magical artifact, but that wish was bound to be dashed.
At this moment, Chu Ning didn’t head to the Library Pavilion, even though he desired talisman-making and advanced techniques.
But at the current stage, enhancing his cultivation technique and elevating his realm was most crucial.
Moreover, outwardly, this also seemed to align more with Xin Wuya’s expectations.
He thought he could visit later when there would be a chance.
After leaving the inner sect, Chu Ning made his way towards the Pill Hall in the Outer Sect.
The elder from the Pill Hall had sent word that Gu Xiaoqing had brought something over.
Upon pondering, Chu Ning guessed it was most likely the Golden Orchid Fruit.
Now that he had refined the Spirit Charm, it was time to use the Golden Orchid Fruit for body refinement.
Although he still had some in his storage bag, he would need more in the future for continuous use.
This was Chu Ning’s first visit to the Outer Sect’s Pill Hall. Upon entering, he saw a disciple at the seventh layer of Qi Refining on duty and quickly approached him.
"Senior Brother, where can I find Steward Zhong?"
The disciple was fiddling with several bottles of elixirs when he heard the question, looked up at Chu Ning with some impatience.
However, his demeanor quickly changed as he stood up swiftly and said:
"Ah, it’s the Inner Sect Senior Brother. Steward Zhong is inside the hall.
Just go inside to Room B5 of the Alchemy Room to find her."
Chu Ning wasn’t upset by the disciple’s change in attitude.
After thanking him, he followed his direction to Room B5 of the Alchemy Room.
Worried that she might be in the midst of alchemy, Chu Ning noticed a messaging device at the door and sent his purpose for visiting through it.
In just a few breaths, the door to the Alchemy Room opened.
To Chu Ning’s surprise, he was met by a familiar face, Gu Xiaoqing.
"Senior Sister Gu, you’re back at the sect?"
Chu Ning was slightly surprised, but then realized it made sense that she would have returned to the sect.
And it was likely she had just returned and had not yet left, so his timing was fortuitous.
"Junior Brother Chu, please come in."
Gu Xiaoqing, as gentle as ever, smiled at Chu Ning and welcomed him into the Alchemy Room.
At present, there was another middle-aged woman inside the Alchemy Room, dressed in a light green robe, her features picturesque, exuding charm.
Gu Xiaoqing promptly introduced them.
"Master, this is Junior Brother Chu Ning who looked after me a lot in the market."
"Junior Brother Chu, this is my master, Zhong Ying."
Upon hearing this from Gu Xiaoqing, Chu Ning immediately cupped his hands in greeting.
"Disciple Chu Ning greets Junior Martial Uncle Zhong."
Zhong Ying, however, waved it off.
"No need for such formality, Nephew Chu. I heard from Xiaoqing about the last attack by the Yin Demon Sect outside, and how you rescued her."
The woman spoke with straightforwardness, completely different in character from Gu Xiaoqing.
This surprised Chu Ning a little.
Gu Xiaoqing shot a slight smile at Chu Ning, evidently noticing his surprise too.
However, she soon exclaimed:
"Junior Brother Chu, you have reached the seventh layer of Qi Refining?"
