Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 327 - 164: Refining Spirit, Intermediate Middle Grade Elixir

Chapter 327: Chapter 164: Refining Spirit, Intermediate Middle Grade Elixir

This elixir needs to be refined again.

The issue isn’t significant, especially after I cultivated the Fire Control Technique from the Essentials of Spirit Pill.

The consumption of Magical Power and Divine Sense in alchemy has significantly decreased.

Basic elixirs like the Spiritual Essence Pill and Gathering Essence Pill can be refined in four or five days.

Thus, for the next half month, Chu Ning focused on Talisman Making and alchemy.

At the same time, he spent a few days refining the Profound Spirit Treasure Pills one by one.

After several attempts, he discovered that these Profound Spirit Treasure Pills could support up to five refinings.

Their quality directly broke through to the standard of Intermediate Middle Grade Elixirs, faintly reaching the threshold of Intermediate Upper Grade Elixirs.

"With so many high-quality Profound Spirit Treasure Pills, even if my Flame Divine Wood Technique is more profound and my Magical Power stronger, logically it should be enough to liquidate for Foundation Establishment!"

Just as Chu Ning was preparing, Cen Zijin arrived gracefully.

The two sat at the stone table, sipping Spirit Tea.

Even though Cen Zijin’s face was charmingly beautiful, her expression faintly revealed some melancholy and hesitation.

Chu Ning took a small sip of tea and then said to her:

"Is there another family issue bothering you?"

Cen Zijin did not respond directly, instead, her bright eyes looked up.

"I told you before, I gave myself three years, but it seems I need to make a decision sooner.

I’m planning to leave the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands and head to Yaochi Palace."

Chu Ning paused slightly with the teacup in hand, then downed the whole cup in one gulp.

Slowly placing the cup back on the stone table, he watched as Cen Zijin gracefully poured more tea into his cup.

He asked softly, "Have you made up your mind?"

"Yes!" Cen Zijin nodded gently.

"You’re right, the secret inheritance of the Cen Family is out of my reach now, no matter what I do.

In the past two years, thanks to your Talismans and Elixirs, the business at Cen Workshop has grown significantly.

But my uncle’s wariness and apprehension towards me have only intensified."

Cen Zijin paused slightly, then continued:

"It’s rumored that Chen Xinming intends to attempt the Foundation Establishment Stage in six months. If successful, my uncle will undoubtedly exert more pressure on me."

"Chen Xinming." Hearing this, Chu Ning murmured the name, a flash of cold light in his eyes.

Although Chu Ning’s emotional fluctuation was very subtle, Cen Zijin still caught it.

A trace of a smile appeared on her charming face as she continued:

"Rest assured, I will surely leave the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands before then."

Chu Ning slightly restrained his expression, looked at Cen Zijin, and asked:

"Would it be of any help if I succeeded in Foundation Establishment within six months?"

"You reaching Foundation Establishment within six months?" Cen Zijin showed a hint of surprise at Chu Ning’s words.

"Haven’t you just reached Qi Refining Perfection for only half a year?"

"The cultivation technique I practice differs slightly from others; it doesn’t require a long period of accumulation in the Qi Refining Perfection Stage."

At this moment, Chu Ning found an excuse, not telling her that he had already been in the Qi Refining Perfection Realm for over two years.

"Actually, I was planning to tell you that in the coming two or three months, I intend to go into secluded cultivation.

To refine a batch of elixirs for my Foundation Establishment, and possibly attempt it within six months."

At this moment, Chu Ning did not hide much from Cen Zijin.

Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Cen Zijin nodded slightly, then said:

"That’s great, because I came here to bring something for you."

Saying so, Cen Zijin took out a Small Jade Box from her Storage Bag and opened it before Chu Ning.

"This is..."

Looking at the pill in the Jade Box, Chu Ning was slightly stunned, then exclaimed in surprise:

"A Foundation Establishment Pill!"

"Yes!" Cen Zijin smiled.

"You mentioned before that you don’t necessarily need a Foundation Establishment Pill for your Foundation Establishment.

But I thought it would be good for you to have one prepared."

Chu Ning did not refuse her kindness and reached out to take the Small Jade Box.

Then he stored it into his Storage Bag.

Initially, he was prepared that if the Profound Spirit Treasure Pills couldn’t achieve Foundation Establishment in one go,

he would then seek another Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, he also knew that this item was extremely precious and wouldn’t be easily given away by any sect or power.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning raised his head and said to Cen Zijin:

"Cen Wenquan is willing to give you this Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Hearing this, Cen Zijin sneered.

"He’s not that generous; this elixir was left to me by my grandfather back then.

But when I reached Foundation Establishment, my master gave me a Foundation Establishment Pill, so I didn’t use this one.

They never knew I still had a Foundation Establishment Pill, otherwise, they would have asked me for it long ago."

Chu Ning nodded, then smiled:

"It seems your grandfather was quite fond of you."

"Yes!" Cen Zijin nodded.

"If only grandfather were still here, he had great prestige in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, and our Cen Family wouldn’t have needed to rely on any other family."

"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural; the rise and fall of families and sects are the same."

After Chu Ning said this, Cen Zijin immediately glanced at him.

"You talk like an old man, even though we’re around the same age."

Chu Ning laughed and said, "Have you ever thought, perhaps I’m an old demon intentionally appearing this age?"

Upon hearing this, Cen Zijin fixed her bright eyes on Chu Ning’s face, scrutinizing it closely.

Chu Ning, on the other hand, sat upright, allowing her gaze with a composed expression.
