Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 153 - 113: Eighth Layer of Qi Refining (3)

Chapter 153: Chapter 113: Eighth Layer of Qi Refining (3)

"Could it be that this seed simply cannot be accelerated?"

Chu Ning felt a hint of unease.

However, he did not stop because of this; instead, he continued to cast one Accelerating Technique after another.

In no time, another 30 Accelerating Techniques struck the seed.

At the same time, Chu Ning’s Divine Sense continued to probe.

Then Chu Ning stopped casting, shook his head, and sighed softly.

It seemed that his earlier worry had come true—in the face of 50 consecutive Accelerating Techniques with no response, there was only one possibility.

The seeds of this Golden Orchid Fruit cannot be accelerated.

"Mutations are just mutations, prone to problems indeed."

Chu Ning sighed inwardly.

Originally, he had thought that if the seeds of the Golden Orchid Fruit could be accelerated and planted, he would prepare to uproot all the Golden Essence Fruits and Iron Stem Orchids in the Spirit Field.

And then plant this Golden Orchid Fruit. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

But now it seemed this plan had gone up in smoke.

To obtain this Golden Orchid Fruit, the only way was the unexpected method he had previously used, letting the two Spirit Plants bloom at the same time, and then letting the pollen from the Iron Stem Orchid pollinate.

This way was naturally not as convenient.

But it was a helpless choice.

The next day, Chu Ning arrived at the Spirit Field, just as the normally growing Iron Blue Orchid Fruits were ripe.

Chu Ning first harvested all these Iron Blue Orchid Fruits.

The yield of these Iron Blue Orchid Fruits was much higher than those he had previously planted in the courtyard.

Originally, he had purchased 100 seeds from the Cloud Sea Pavilion.

Apart from the 20 hybridized and mutated ones, the remaining 80 Iron Stem Orchids yielded 270 Iron Blue Orchid Fruits.

After finishing the harvest, Chu Ning began the transplantation process.

First, he removed some Golden Essence Fruits from the middle and planted the 80 Iron Stem Orchids dispersed.

Then, Chu Ning cross-planted the transplanted Golden Essence Fruits back.

Thus, the 100 Iron Stem Orchids were completely surrounded by these Golden Essence Fruits.

This increased the probability of pollination.

Chu Ning also planned to dig out a few more Golden Essence Fruits and then cultivate some seeds from the current Iron Blue Orchid Fruits and plant a few rows of Iron Blue Orchid Fruits.

If he could plant another 100, he could cultivate 200 Golden Orchid Fruit Trees next.

In this way, one harvest would suffice for his cultivation for six months or even a year.

Of course, that’s for later.

Now Chu Ning needed to cultivate this batch first.

After transplanting these two kinds of Spirit Plants, Chu Ning began casting the Ganlin Technique and Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill.

He needed to accelerate the next fruiting of these Iron Stem Orchids and Golden Essence Fruits.

But at this moment, Chu Ning selected prioritization in acceleration.

He no longer used the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill extensively but meticulously controlled the casting range.

Focusing the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill only on the Iron Stem Orchids, without affecting the Golden Essence Fruits.

After all, the blooming time for Iron Stem Orchids was longer.

If he accelerated the Golden Essence Fruits now, their flowers might fall before the Iron Stem Orchids even bloomed.

In a blink, ten days had passed.

Three days ago, Chu Ning had prepared the seeds of the Iron Blue Orchid Fruits.

Unlike Golden Orchid Fruits, these seeds weren’t impossible to plant; Chu Ning managed to successfully accelerate and plant them in the Spirit Field.

For this, Chu Ning deliberately dug out 100 Golden Essence Fruit Trees.

He did not waste these trees but transplanted them all to the backyard of his Spirit Plant Room.

After all, these Spirit Plants could be used to offset the monthly supply to the Cyan Creek Spirit Plant Workshop.

At this point, the 200 Iron Stem Orchids in Chu Ning’s field were classified into three categories.

One was the 20 that had already produced Golden Orchid Fruits.

This batch had been harvested early, and under successive castings, Chu Ning felt they would bloom and bear fruit again before long.

So, he had also applied casting around several rows of Golden Essence Fruits nearby, trying to make both Spirit Plants bloom simultaneously.

The other 80 was the ordinary Iron Stem Orchids, which had only undergone ten days of Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill acceleration and were still some time away from blooming and fruiting.

Finally, there were the 100 new seedlings, which naturally had more time to develop.

Chu Ning cast each categorically, a much finer task than before.

These ten or so days, apart from daily Talisman Making and cultivation, most of Chu Ning’s time was spent in the Spirit Field.

However, this morning, after completing his usual cultivation and having breakfast, Chu Ning did not go to the Spirit Field.

Instead, he closed the shop’s door and went to the backyard to prepare for cultivating the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique.

[Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique (Yellow Tier Lower Grade), Third Layer (596/2100)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Unbreakable Tendons 368/1500]

[Refining Spirit Technique, First Layer 824/1000]

After eleven days of cultivation, Chu Ning’s Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique had reached a proficiency of 596 at the Third Layer.

Only 4 points of proficiency away from breaking through from the Qi Refining Seventh Layer to the Eighth Layer.

Chu Ning decided just to push straight to the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining.

Without consuming a Spiritual Essence Pill, Chu Ning took out a pile of Spirit Stones.

For the past few breakthroughs, Chu Ning had not relied on Elixirs but used Spirit Stones.

This time, Chu Ning carried on as he was used to.

He leaped into the circle surrounded by the Iron Stem Orchids in the backyard, first casting some Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill.

Then, he sat cross-legged and began cultivating with Spirit Stones in hand.

Chu Ning’s speed at absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Stones was not slow, but upon reaching the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, each point of proficiency needed 6 Spirit Stones.

Twice that of the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining.

So even with Spirit Stones, Chu Ning still needed some time.

Half an hour later, the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill on the Iron Stem Orchids began to take effect.

Wisps of Spiritual Qi were released and entered Chu Ning’s body, accelerating his cultivation speed.

One Spirit Stone after another was consumed, nearly 40 in total, before.

Chu Ning, who had been sitting, finally sat up straight.

[Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique (Yellow Tier Lower Grade), Third Layer (601/2100)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Unbreakable Tendons 368/1500]

[Refining Spirit Technique, First Layer 824/1000]

Eighth Layer of Qi Refining!

Feeling the state of his Dantian Magical Power, and checking his cultivation proficiency once more.

A smile appeared on Chu Ning’s face.

There were no surprises, nor did he encounter any bottlenecks.

After consuming 24 Spirit Stones to reach a proficiency of 600, Chu Ning used 16 Spirit Stones to breakthrough from the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

At this moment, Chu Ning had formally reached the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining.
