Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 336 - 167: Claiming the Island (Part 2)

He had just reached the Foundation Establishment, and at this stage, naturally, the main focus is on consolidating his realm, so he’s not in a hurry to take too many elixirs for cultivation.

"There’s no problem on the Qi Refining side, but for Body Refinement..."

At this moment, Chu Ning looked at the proficiency in his mind.

[Flame Divine Wood Technique (Profound Tier Upper Grade), Second Layer (1667/10000)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Immortal Soul (0/3000)]

[Refining Spirit Technique, Second Layer (2000/2000)]

In fact, Chu Ning was always a bit curious. This Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique is clearly a body refining technique, so why would an Immortal Soul realm appear?

"Could it be that this Body Refining Technique, when cultivated to a higher stage, can also strengthen the Divine Soul and stabilize the Divine Sense?"

Chu Ning was secretly pondering in his heart at the moment.

Thinking this way, he felt that this line of thinking was indeed likely.

After all, Qi Refining after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage has the effect of refining the spirit.

This Body Refinement and Qi Refining, though different paths, ultimately lead to the same destination in strengthening the Divine Sense, which is very likely.

"If my conjecture is correct, then my Divine Sense might expand rapidly without further cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique.

Might as well take this time to give it a try."

Chu Ning thought to himself and immediately began to cultivate the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique in the Cultivation Room.

In any case, he didn’t have the next cultivation method for the Refining Spirit Technique during this period.

He could just see the effect of cultivating the Flame Divine Wood Technique and the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique after Foundation Establishment on strengthening the Divine Sense.

Thus, for the next period of time, Chu Ning stayed inside the cave mansion.

He did not step outside at all.

Every day, he cultivated the Profound Fate Technique with Xiaobai to help them continue healing.

Meanwhile, every day practicing the Flame Divine Wood Technique and the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

Because he had just reached the Foundation Establishment, and that Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique was also just cultivated to Immortal Soul.

So Chu Ning did not use elixirs or spirit fruits for either cultivation.

And the Wood Essence Qi from the Iron Soul Flower, Chu Ning did not absorb it either.

To his relief, after the Iron Soul Flower matured, although it contained a large amount of Wood Essence Qi.

But these Wood Essence Qi would not leak out unless actively absorbed by Chu Ning.

This flower could bloom for two to three years.

After cultivating this way for another month.

That day, after finishing his day’s cultivation, Chu Ning sat crossed-legged in the Cultivation Room.

He began contemplating the situation of his cultivation for the past month.

"My cultivation talent is considered pretty good, but without relying on other resources at all,

even with a Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Vein, this speed should already be at its peak."

[Flame Divine Wood Technique (Profound Tier Upper Grade), Second Layer (1727/10000)]

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Immortal Soul (30/3000)]

[Refining Spirit Technique, Second Layer (2000/2000)]

Over the course of a month, while maintaining longer daily cultivation periods,

without using elixirs or spirit fruits,

the Flame Divine Wood Technique’s proficiency increased by about 2 points daily, faster than before.

This obviously relates to the faster absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi after Foundation Establishment.

However, the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique could only increase by about 1 point.

As for Divine Sense, Chu Ning could indeed feel growth, though the speed wasn’t fast.

After a month of cultivation, his Divine Sense expanded outward by only about one zhang (3.33 meters).

If he hadn’t specifically paid attention, he wouldn’t have noticed this subtle change.

"In the next phase of cultivation, I need to rely on some resources!"

Chu Ning resolved in his heart.

Actually, even after entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, having such increases is truly not slow.

The talent given by the system is indeed excellent.

However, for any great cultivator to grow, they require not just talent, but countless resources.

Chu Ning casually took out jade bottles containing the Cyan Wood Primordial Yang Pill and the Iron Sun Fruit from his Storage Bag.

These were what he used during the Qi Refining Perfection and Unbreakable Tendons stages.

Yet now, he’s uncertain if they remain useful after reaching Foundation Establishment and entering the Immortal Soul stage.

"The Cyan Wood Primordial Yang Pill has been refined in spirit after all, and the Iron Sun Fruit was effective for my bottleneck breakthrough at the time.

Logically, they should still be effective for my current cultivation, but to know the exact effect, I’ll need to try them." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Saying this, Chu Ning got up and moved to the adjacent stone chamber with the hot spring.

He crushed an Iron Sun Fruit into the big bathtub, jumped into it, and began cultivating the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

An hour later, Chu Ning slowly walked out of the stone chamber, muttering to himself.

"Sure enough, after breaking through to the Immortal Soul stage, the effect of the Iron Sun Fruit has weakened.

Originally, I needed to practice the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique six times to fully activate the Iron Sun Fruit’s medicinal effects.

Now it only requires four practices for full activation."

While muttering this, Chu Ning felt the cultivation proficiency in his mind.

He had just used two Iron Sun Fruits to cultivate, already testing their effects.

[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volume One, Immortal Soul (33/3000)]

Two Iron Sun Fruits can increase the proficiency by 3 points, which seems not slow, even more than the 1 point gained during the Unbreakable Tendons phase.

But Chu Ning knew, this is because he hadn’t entered the body refining bottleneck period.

During the Unbreakable Tendons phase, he could still gain 1 point even when in the bottleneck period.

Comparing in this way, the effectiveness is still weaker.

"But it’s good enough, at least there’s something to accelerate cultivation."

Chu Ning was essentially satisfied with the effect of the Iron Sun Fruit.
