Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 175 - 121: One Punch, One Down

Seeing the arrival of the three, the four people in front stood up.

Except for Lu Yunfang, who was at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, the other three included two at the Seventh Layer and one at the Eighth Layer.

However, Chu Ning observed that even Lu Yunfang and his group showed signs of vigilance on their faces, as if they didn’t recognize the newcomers.

This caused Chu Ning to feel a bit puzzled.

It was understandable that Lu Yunfang didn’t recognize him since he had altered his appearance using an Illusion Technique.

But that Lu Yunfang didn’t even recognize the two people beside him. Could it be that these two were not from the Yin Demon Sect?

As Chu Ning pondered this, the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining disciple beside him flashed with a red glow.

Upon seeing this red glow, Lu Yunfang and the others’ expressions immediately changed from vigilance to joy, and they all bowed to the Ninth Layer disciple.

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Chu Ning quickly adapted, mirroring their joyful expressions and bowing along with them.

The Ninth Layer disciple, a middle-aged man with a mustache, seemed a bit surprised by Chu Ning’s actions.

Having completed his greeting, Chu Ning now showed a visibly relieved expression.

"So, it turned out you’re from the same sect. I almost mistook you for a Cyan Creek Sect disciple."

The mustachioed middle-aged man smiled at Chu Ning’s words.

"Rest assured, they will come. To reach the Array Formation Land from the southwest direction, this place is a necessary path.

All we have to do is lie in wait here, and someone will eventually show up." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Let’s verify identities, though."

At this moment, the tall, thin man at the Eighth Layer accompanying the mustachioed middle-aged man spoke.

Hearing this, Chu Ning inwardly cursed and quickly began to think of a way to escape.

The mustachioed middle-aged man nodded, sweeping his gaze over Chu Ning and the others, and spoke:

"Please present your identification tokens."

Following the mustachioed middle-aged man’s words, Lu Yunfang was the first to retrieve an item from his Storage Bag.

It was the Bamboo Token that Chu Ning had seen many times.

Soon, the other three also took out their Bamboo Tokens.

Chu Ning, of course, could not produce a Bamboo Token, so he pretended to reach for something in his Storage Bag, focusing his magical power on the Black Small Saber.

"Someone’s coming?"

Chu Ning’s gaze flickered slightly.

Among them, his Divine Sense was the most sensitive and had already detected footsteps approaching.

With his Spiritual Sense, he quickly discovered two people heading in their direction.

Meanwhile, the mustachioed middle-aged man, who had the highest cultivation among them, seemed to notice something as well and quickly spoke:

"Put everything away."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunfang and the others promptly stored their Bamboo Tokens.

Chu Ning, of course, hesitated in his actions.

A moment later, two figures appeared, and upon seeing them, Chu Ning’s eyes flickered.

The newcomers were a man and a woman, both of whom he recognized.

The male disciple was none other than Tan Zhang, an Eighth Layer Spirit Talisman Pavilion disciple who had encountered Chu Ning multiple times.

The female disciple was one whom Chu Ning had seen twice before, once at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and once upon leaving the Mountain Gate, with a Seventh Layer Qi Refining Cultivation.

As Chu Ning spotted the two, they also noticed Chu Ning and the others.

Tan Zhang’s gaze circled, quickly settling on the mustachioed middle-aged leader.

"Ah, Senior Brother Xu!"

From the voice, it was evident they were acquainted before.

However, Chu Ning was not surprised, considering that those coming were disciples practicing the Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique, mainly from the Spirit Talisman Pavilion and Hundred Arts Hall.

Of course, there were also disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall and Foreign Affairs Hall, but they were relatively fewer.

In Hundred Arts Hall, most were from the Spirit Plant Room and Spirit Beast Room.

Those like them at the Eighth and Ninth Layers of Qi Refining, often staying within the sect, naturally knew each other.

Indeed, the next moment, the mustachioed middle-aged man smiled slightly, greeting Tan Zhang:

"So it’s Junior Brother Tan and Junior Sister Lin. What a coincidence that so many pavilion disciples gather here."

This Senior Brother Xu was also from the Spirit Talisman Pavilion, causing Chu Ning’s heart to sink internally.

He had just spent too little time in the pavilion to recognize him.

This, however, was no good news, given he was from the Spirit Talisman Pavilion, he likely acquired various talismans for this mission.

There would certainly be Basic Upper Grade Talismans, possibly even Intermediate Talismans, especially with a Ninth Layer of Qi Refining cultivation.

If they were to make a move, it could be troublesome.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Xu."

At this moment, Lin, who accompanied Tan Zhang, also greeted the mustachioed middle-aged Xu.

Tan Zhang glanced at everyone with curiosity, addressing the mustachioed middle-aged man:

"Senior Brother Xu, which hall are these fellow disciples from? They all look unfamiliar."

The mustachioed middle-aged man shook his head, smiling:

"We just met and haven’t gotten to know each other yet."

Then he introduced himself:

"I am Xu Runsheng from the Spirit Talisman Pavilion. Fellow disciples, why not introduce yourselves as well."

"Tan Zhang from the Spirit Talisman Pavilion." Tan Zhang quickly responded.

The tall and thin Eighth Layer Qi Refining disciple followed, "Yu Jiehui from the Law Enforcement Hall."

"Lin Lan from the Spirit Talisman Pavilion."

After Tan Zhang’s companion spoke, several others voiced themselves.

Besides Lu Yufang from the Spirit Plant Room, the other two Seventh Layer Qi Refining disciples were from the Spirit Beast Room.

The Eighth Layer male disciple was from the Instructor Hall.
