Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 187 - 125: Only One Leaves Alive

Although he had just come down from the large mountain cave, Chu Ning still cautiously sent the puppet bird in to check first.

He ensured that the cave was the same as when he had left, with no significant anomalies.

Only then did Chu Ning slowly walk into the large mountain cave.

Then, Chu Ning released Ling Xiaobai from the Spirit Beast Bag.

He was still counting on it to lead the way outside.

Just as Ling Xiaobai was released, it tilted its little head and without making a sound, immediately transmitted to Chu Ning:

"Ying, another cultivator has been here."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning’s expression stiffened, and his face became serious and careful.

He undoubtedly trusted Ling Xiaobai’s keen sense of smell.

Back then, Ling Xiaobai was able to locate the Earth Spirit Spring Water just by following the faint trace of aura left by Old Man Sun.

Even after Chu Ning changed his appearance using the Illusion Technique, Ling Xiaobai could recognize him immediately.

Chu Ning suspected it relied on its keen sense of smell to perceive aura.

Now that Ling Xiaobai said someone had been here, there must be no mistake.

Releasing his Divine Sense instantly, Chu Ning guarded cautiously while exploring carefully.

However, under Chu Ning’s investigation, there was no one in the cave.

Chu Ning walked cautiously towards the cave entrance, extending his Divine Sense outwards.

"Hmm?"

Just as Chu Ning’s Divine Sense reached its fifty-zhang limit outside the cave, a figure appeared within his Divine Sense’s range.

"Qi Refining Perfection?"

Sensing the aura from the figure, Chu Ning’s face subtly changed.

This was, indeed, the first time he encountered someone at the Qi Refining Perfection stage since entering the Spirit Realm.

This undeniably made him slightly curious, as he had seen three or four individuals at the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm in the Sect Dojo before. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Those people had just entered the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm.

But this face was unfamiliar.

Moreover, the aura from this person clearly was not someone who had just entered the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm.

Chu Ning instead felt a slight relief, speculating that this individual must have been in the Spirit Realm for some time.

This at least confirmed that he was not from the Yin Demon Sect.

As long as he belonged to the Cyan Creek Sect, things would be much easier to discuss.

Thinking it over, Chu Ning directly controlled the puppet bird to fly outside, pretending to fly around aimlessly.

It then stopped not far above the handsome young man’s head.

Chu Ning didn’t want to venture out and face misunderstandings rashly, so it was better to let the other person reveal themselves.

The handsome young man quickly noticed the puppet bird and his expression shifted slightly before he casually walked out from behind a large rock.

"Is that a junior from the Sect?"

The handsome young man’s face wore a gentle smile as he called out into the cave.

Chu Ning’s figure slowly emerged, and upon seeing the handsome young man, he cupped his hands in greeting.

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

The handsome young man’s eyes flickered with curiosity upon seeing Chu Ning’s Seventh Layer of Qi Refining cultivation.

"Are you a new junior member? What’s your name?"

Upon hearing the handsome young man’s words, Chu Ning confirmed his earlier assumptions, nodding slightly as he replied:

"Li Qun from the Foreign Affairs Hall, greetings Senior Brother."

"Li Qun from the Foreign Affairs Hall." The handsome young man repeated, staring directly at Chu Ning.

"Did you pick the Flame Wood Twin Fruit in this cave?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning finally understood the other person’s intention, pondering silently without immediately responding.

Of course, he wanted to deny it, but he couldn’t find a good excuse.

If the other person wanted it, Chu Ning would have to ponder how much to offer.

As for the Fire Spirit Crystal, that was out of the question.

"The Seventh Layer of Qi Refining and you can kill a Red Fire Double-headed Scorpion; not bad."

The handsome young man wore a smile, but suddenly his hand snapped, sending a pillar of fire toward Chu Ning.

Then, his voice rang out.

"However, you can die now!"

Having anticipated this, Chu Ning immediately activated several Defense Talismans.

"Zzzt!"

After several sounds, the Defense Shield in front of Chu Ning shattered instantly.

Although Chu Ning had only activated a Basic Upper Grade Defense Talisman, his face turned serious.

This person’s attack power was strong.

Chu Ning knew full well that this man was merely testing the waters, but even so, the feeling was far beyond that of an average Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.

This was something that surpassed ordinary Qi Refining Perfection Realms.

"Could it be that this person is about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"

These thoughts flashed through his mind as he noticed the handsome young man not attacking immediately, but looking at him with a sneer.

Chu Ning asked in a deep voice:

"Senior Brother, what is the meaning of this? Why attack without understanding the situation?"

The handsome young man chuckled at Chu Ning’s words.

"A dying man, there’s no harm in telling you, so you can die with understanding."

"You just entered the Spirit Realm and haven’t reached the Array Formation Land yet, so you wouldn’t know that if you obtain a Spirit Seed and Spirit Charm during an Exorcism Array, you can undergo Bone Marrow Cleansing to enhance your talent?"

"Of course, very few are fortunate enough, most disciples die from explosive impact when the Spirit Seed and Spirit Charm occur.

And I’m one of those very fortunate ones."

The young man, who called himself Shang Rui, wore a proud smile at this moment.

"With the talent of Wood, Fire, and Earth Spirit Roots entering the Inner Sect, I was assigned to the Spirit Realm upon reaching the Qi Cultivation Perfection..."
