Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 574 - 255: Golden Core Elder, Array Spirit Body

"I can only say, Junior Brother Chu, your cultivation is exceptionally profound, and indeed, your fortune is quite remarkable."

Yu Changge laughed, then glanced around this cave mansion.

"Junior Brother, although this Spirit Rock Peak is decent, the Spiritual Qi is ultimately insufficient.

Perhaps you might consider moving the cave mansion to Celestial Mist Peak, or do you have any other plans?"

"Celestial Mist Peak?" Chu Ning was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Even though he had never been there, he knew it was one of the peaks with the best Spiritual Qi within the sect.

Not even the two Golden Core Late Stage Elders, Gong Yuyuan and Yuan Zhuo, could reside there.

Seeing Chu Ning’s surprise, before Yu Changge could speak, Gong Yuyuan laughed and said:

"Junior Brother Chu, there’s no need for concerns. Though I am at the Golden Core Late Stage, I know that reaching the Nascent Soul Stage in this life is very unlikely.

You have formed your Golden Core before the age of sixty; your future is limitless.

A place like this should rightfully belong to you, Junior Brother."

The other Golden Core Elders all nodded at this moment.

Chu Ning, hearing this, couldn’t help but be a bit tempted. The Spirit Rock Peak barely sufficed for his Foundation Establishment cultivation.

However, after entering the Golden Core Stage, the need for Spiritual Qi is much greater, making this place indeed unsuitable.

Immediately, he clasped his hands and said:

"In that case, I am very grateful to the Sect Leader and all the elders... and to all my senior brothers for their kindness."

Everyone smiled at this moment, acknowledging Chu Ning’s gesture.

Afterward, they exchanged ideas with Chu Ning about using some divine techniques after forming the Golden Core.

It was an exchange among Golden Core Cultivators in the sect, which greatly expanded Chu Ning’s knowledge.

His Core Formation was genuinely sudden, so he had understood some things about forming the Core, but he was not yet aware of what follows.

Especially Ling Cang and Ge Liuyang, who shared insights with Chu Ning on using Pill Fire for alchemy and artifact refining, from which Chu Ning also benefited greatly.

He had long aspired to use Pill Fire for alchemy and artifact refining, and since he had now formed his Core, he naturally wanted to try it.

After staying with Chu Ning for a while, everyone then went their separate ways.

Chu Ning now finally had the time to observe the changes brought by the successful Core Formation.

He first performed an inner observation, seeing within his Dantian a Golden Core round bead about the size of an egg.

Chu Ning couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile.

The size of this Golden Core could compare to that of many Middle Stage of Golden Core Cultivators.

This meant Chu Ning’s Magical Power was far more abundant than that of cultivators at the same tier.

Then, Chu Ning looked at his cultivation proficiency in his mind.

This time, with the great success of the Golden Core, there should be some improvements.

[Five Elements Chaos Technique (Celestial Tier Middle Grade), First Layer (7000/50000)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume Two, First Layer (18415/45000)]

[Refining Spirit Technique, Fourth Layer (37701/64000)]

[Detected host’s successful Core Formation, rewarding talent "Array Spirit Body"]

[Array Spirit Body: 1. Greatly enhances the comprehension and cultivation talent of array techniques, increasing the success rate and quality of array formation tool refinement.

2. Possesses the ability to analyze and comprehend the origin of Dao Runes in arrays.]

Seeing this, Chu Ning was overjoyed.

The Core Formation indeed refreshed the Array Spirit Body, although, as it was an innate hidden talent refresh, no additional hidden talent was included.

These two abilities were almost on par with the three talents of the "Talismanic Spirit Body" back then, allowing for array analysis similar to Talisman Source analysis.

What astonished Chu Ning truly was the significantly enhanced proficiency!

"The Five Elements Chaos Technique increased by 6000 points, Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique by 4000 points, and the Refining Spirit Technique by 4000 points!

And it has only been two months since my Core Formation!"

At this moment, Chu Ning truly experienced the transformation brought by forming his Core.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning released his divine sense outward.

Based on his Foundation Establishment experience, this significant level advancement would result in a more pronounced increase in spiritual sense strength than the data in Refining Spirit Technique might indicate.

Indeed, as Chu Ning began to extend his divine sense outward, he immediately felt the difference compared to before.

His divine sense easily reached the previous limit of three thousand eight hundred zhang and continued to extend.

Only after reaching a distance of five thousand zhang did it finally stop.

"Five thousand zhang!! That’s over thirty-three li."

Feeling his current divine sense range, Chu Ning was quite shocked.

Reaching the divine sense boundary of five thousand zhang was not something any Golden Core Cultivator could easily achieve.

Earlier, during the exchange, even Ling Cang, a Middle Stage of Golden Core Cultivator, mentioned his divine sense couldn’t extend beyond four thousand five hundred zhang.

"My current divine sense strength already surpasses that of most Middle Stage of Golden Core Cultivators.

It should vaguely match that of Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators!!"

Chu Ning immediately began assessing his own strength.

"The depth of my Magical Power should compare to that of Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivators.

As for physical body strength, it’s naturally far beyond that of ordinary Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators!

However, aside from these, the true strength lies in various divine techniques and magical treasures."

Thinking of this, Chu Ning began inventorying the divine techniques and magical treasures he truly mastered.

The five secret techniques of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique certainly need not be mentioned; they are Chu Ning’s crucial trump card.

However, given Chu Ning’s usual caution, he generally wouldn’t use such trump cards easily.

Moreover, the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique involves close combat, which is rather risky to use casually.

"I still need spells and magical treasures!"

With this thought, Chu Ning waved his hand, and a Fire Scorpion suddenly appeared.

The Flame Prison Fire Scorpion is precisely the demon beast form condensed by Chu Ning over the years through the cultivation of the Blazing Fire Flaming Technique.
