Chapter 519 - 237: Refining the Jade Bone, Breaking Through Again
"Others have also brought quite a few spirit pills and magical artifacts..."
"Sect Leader, this must be what they call heavenly blessing for our Jiuhua Sect!" Ge Liuyang laughed heartily at this moment.
"We unexpectedly had Chu Ning join our sect.
As for the Combined Attack Technique he used, I suspect it might be the Three Elements Five Elements Array that was once passed down in our sect.
Since these treasures have now fallen into our hands, and we have the cultivation method for the Three Elements Five Elements Array in our heritage.
It will significantly enhance the strength of our sect’s disciples.
That Daluo Sect is merely making a bridal gown for us."
The elders were all smiling and nodding in agreement.
Yu Changge also began to smile, gazing at the rows of shelves inside the hall.
"With these heritage treasures, everyone here will see a boost in strength. In ten years, our sect will undergo considerable changes.
If we have fifty years, there will definitely be significant changes, and the revival of the sect is very hopeful!"
At this point, Yu Changge paused slightly and said:
"However, when I say that the Daluo Sect will not let this rest, it’s not just idle talk.
If the Daluo Sect learns they made a bridal gown for us, especially knowing that so many cultivators have died, they will certainly come for us.
It might even be a Nascent Soul Cultivator who comes knocking."
As Yu Changge’s words fell, the elders’ faces turned serious.
At this time, Yu Changge continued:
"It seems I have to request the Supreme Elder to come out of seclusion!
Not only to deal with that Daluo Sect visiting but also because of the Moonlight Profound Spirit Pill..."
While Yu Changge and the elders were discussing the matters ahead.
Chu Ning flew all the way back to Spirit Rock Peak from Nine Spirits Peak.
From afar, he saw a slender figure standing outside his cave mansion, it was Shang Xiaohan, who had also gone to Wolong Valley.
Seeing Chu Ning fly over, Shang Xiaohan immediately bowed gracefully.
"Senior Brother Chu, thank you for saving me earlier in Wolong Valley."
Chu Ning extended a hand in a gesture of courtesy, smiling:
"Junior Sister Shang, no need to be formal, you’ve already thanked me several times in Wolong Valley."
"Back then, I thanked Senior Brother Li Qun, and now I thank Senior Brother Chu!"
Shang Xiaohan displayed a slight smile, her face was already pretty and attractive.
Her smile added a touch of brilliance to her looks.
Especially when she thought of previously comparing "Li Qun" with Chu Ning, she giggled softly.
Seeing this, Chu Ning was somewhat surprised.
Shang Xiaohan quickly explained:
"Senior Brother, back in Wolong Valley, I was wondering who was more powerful between you and Senior Brother Li Qun.
I never thought, in the end, you were the same person."
Shang Xiaohan stayed for quite a while and toured Chu Ning’s cave mansion.
After inviting Chu Ning to visit her at Bright Moon Peak, she then bid her farewell and left.
Chu Ning returned to his cultivation room and took out several items from his storage bag.
The trip to Wolong Valley cost Chu Ning considerably, the greatest expenditure being the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman.
After checking the talisman briefly.
He discovered that its power was significantly depleted, only enough for two more strikes with the previous level of force.
Nonetheless, Chu Ning’s gains were equally considerable.
Looking at the items before him, he first examined a fiery red demon core, then opened a jade box he had just taken from the hall’s shelves.
Inside, there was a green demon core.
This was the demon core of a Wood Element Tier Five Demon Beast.
"With these two demon cores, I might concoct a pill even more advanced than the Flame Wood Spirit Pill.
Thus, the cultivation speed of the Flame Divine Wood Technique could be accelerated."
He then looked away from the demon cores, his eyes falling on another bottle of pills and the three pieces of "Jade Bone" beside them.
These items were prepared for body refinement.
He clearly remembered that the strongest feature of the Jade Bone found in the Thunder Fire Sect ruins was its life aura, which could help him heal.
Then came body refinement!
He had searched for a long time for treasures to break through the bottleneck in body refinement.
After all, he had been stuck at the bottleneck in cultivating the Undying Golden Body for over two years.
Previously, his main focus was on the Flame Divine Wood Technique and breaking through the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Now that he had some time, he naturally wanted to see if he could make any breakthroughs in body refinement.
Especially since it was the last layer of the first volume of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Chu Ning was curious about what changes completing the Undying Golden Body would bring him.
In comparison, he didn’t value the benefits to Qi refining as much.
Of course, he wouldn’t refuse any improvements.
As for this bottle of pills, it’s not from the Jiuhua Sect, but had been obtained by the Jiuhua Sect’s elders from another sect.
Seeing the bottle labeled as Dragon Blood Body Tempering Pill, he guessed it was a body refining elixir and took it for himself.
With these items in hand, the other items taken from the storage bags of the Daluo Sect cultivators didn’t weight as much to Chu Ning.
Except for Sun Shifan’s storage bag.
In the storage bag of this Golden Core Cultivator from the Daluo Sect, Chu Ning found quite a few alchemy and artifact refining materials, along with a large number of spirit stones.
More surprisingly, he also found a talisman manual.
It contained methods for crafting numerous advanced talismans.
This brought great joy to Chu Ning.
In fact, he had previously browsed the Jiuhua Sect’s collection, finding that likely due to the sect’s lack of focus on talisman techniques.
There weren’t too many talisman scriptures there.
Advanced talismans were even rarer.
Chu Ning hadn’t spent much time researching talismans since leaving the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands because the need wasn’t as strong.
But now, with the possibility of learning advanced talisman making, he hoped to improve his talisman crafting ability.
The reason was simple: as his cultivation increased, if his talisman crafting level improved, making advanced upper-grade talismans would be achievable.
Once he could make advanced upper-grade talismans, with his talismanic spirit body, he could decipher top level talismans.
The Ice Shadow Sword Talisman in his possession was a top-level talisman!
Thus, Chu Ning was very pleased to obtain the method for crafting advanced talismans.
However, at the moment, Chu Ning did not choose to review the talismans first.
Instead, his attention was focused on the smallest piece among the three Jade Bones.
A Jade Bone resembling a hand bone.
Chu Ning then scanned the jade bone with his divine sense, following the practice he’d learned in the Thunder Fire Sect ruins.
He condensed a divine sense bridge between himself and the jade bone.
The next moment, the jade bone shot towards him.
It disappeared in a flash, entering his hand bone.
Very soon, Chu Ning sensed a familiar and powerful life energy circulating through his body.
Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique!
At that moment, Chu Ning immediately began cultivating the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.
One cycle after another, the pure energy began to spread from being dispersed towards his entire body.
The familiar burning sensation started to appear in Chu Ning’s body.
This time, the burning sensation came and went quickly.
Chu Ning had only practiced the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique once before the burning sensation disappeared.
Upon introspection, Chu Ning found that the jade bone that had adhered to his hand bone seemed slightly fused with his hand bone.
However, the extent of fusion was much less than what was achieved with his sternum.
If he hadn’t previously understood, and carefully examined, it would have been an almost impossible task.
Moreover, further cultivation of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique yielded no results.
"Is there a daily limit to cultivation?"
Chu Ning had a vague hunch and then checked the proficiency level in his mind.
The proficiency of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique best indicated the effect.
Upon checking, Chu Ning’s eyes brightened!
The proficiency of the first volume, Undying Golden Core, of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, which had been inactive for over two years, finally showed progress again.
