Chapter 242 New Spirit, Powerful Mystical Skills
Chu Ning looked down along the content displayed by the system, and indeed saw the news about the talent refresh.
However, the refreshed reward surprised Chu Ning.
[Talent refresh, reward talent "Nine Evolution Spirit Body":
1. Greatly improve the talent and speed of body refining skills;
2. Practice the Nine Evolution Body Refining Art without bottleneck restrictions]
[Talent magical power refresh, reward magical power secret "Immortal Golden Body"]
"After practicing the first volume of the Nine Evolution Body Refining Art to perfection, it actually refreshed two rewards.
Not only the magical power secret is rewarded, but also the spirit body can be refreshed, and it is actually called the Nine Evolution Spirit Body!"
Chu Ning looked at the prompt given by the system, and was surprised and happy.
The two talents of the Nine Evolution Spirit Body are also very easy to understand.
"The second volume of the Nine Evolution Body Refining Art must be found!"
Chu Ning's eyes flashed. With the Nine Evolution Spirit Body talent, he can naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing the second volume of the Nine Evolution Body Refining Art next.
Moreover, there is no need to worry about always looking for natural treasures to break through the bottleneck.
At this moment, Chu Ning's eyes fell on the rewarded magical skills.
"Immortal Golden Body! The last secret skill in the first volume is actually called Immortal Golden Body."
Chu Ning looked at the system prompts and checked the usage and information of this secret skill in his mind.
His eyes became brighter and brighter.
As the name of this secret skill reflects, this is a defensive secret skill.
In addition to being able to make the body's defense reach the strength of directly resisting the ordinary spell attacks of the same-level cultivators.
Using the Immortal Golden Body Secret Skill, you can condense a defensive shield outside your body.
It can resist the spell attacks of cultivators one level higher than you!
In short, Chu Ning can now withstand the spell attacks of cultivators in the late stage of foundation building with his physical body alone.
And the magic shield he condensed with the Immortal Golden Body can directly resist the spell attacks of cultivators in the early stage of Jindan!
If there are some defensive magic weapons or talismans, it seems that it is not difficult to withstand the attacks of the middle stage of Jindan?
"Very strong!"
Chu Ning's eyes flickered. In the case that the previous four secret arts were all offensive secret arts, this last magical secret art could be regarded as making up for the shortcomings.
However, the Immortal Golden Body is not only this effect!
Another effect of this secret art is to restrain the magic skills.
The Immortal Golden Body shield can double the effect when defending against magic skills.
And the Immortal Golden Body shield also has the effect of restraining the cold and cold air such as demonic energy and ghost energy.
"If I were to face the elder of the Yin Demon Sect, I would probably let the other party attack me directly.
I'm afraid the other party can't easily break through my Immortal Golden Body shield!"
Chu Ning showed a smile in his eyes at this moment.
With the forbidden magic and the Immortal Golden Body, as long as he is not too suicidal, even if he faces a Jindan cultivator, even without the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman, he will definitely have no problem protecting himself.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning stretched out his hand and took out something from the storage bag.
It was the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman that could only be used twice.
During these three years, although Chu Ning devoted himself to cultivation, he did not completely give up on alchemy, weapon refining, and talisman making.
In terms of alchemy, he did not need to study much, just helping the alchemy pavilion to refine some intermediate and high-quality elixirs.
By the way, he also gave some advice on alchemy to the rest of the sect.
After all, it was much easier for Chu Ning to understand these inherited alchemy techniques in the sect than other cultivators.
As for weapon refining, Chu Ning started from a relatively more basic level.
However, he did not spend much energy on this aspect. In three years, he only refined more than 20 magic weapons.
However, under the powerful talent of his weapon master spirit body, all of these magic weapons were of high quality.
This made Ge Liuyang often mutter, hoping that Chu Ning could spend more time on weapon refining.
In the past three years, Chu Ning spent a lot of time on the art of talisman making.
And half a year ago, Chu Ning finally relied on his outstanding talent for talisman making, plus his powerful mana and consciousness, to make high-level mid-quality talismans.
So, Chu Ning also began to try to make the high-grade talisman.
However, it was not smooth.
Perhaps due to the limitation of his own cultivation, Chu Ning failed to make the high-grade talisman after many attempts.
This made him think that he could analyze the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman, or even make this top-level talisman, but he had to temporarily put it aside.
"High-grade talismans, under normal circumstances, are still made by Jindan cultivators.
Although I can make high-grade middle-grade talismans with the help of the talisman source spirit body and the mana and consciousness far exceeding that of cultivators of the same level.
But this high-grade talisman may still have to wait until the success of the Jindan."
With such a thought flashing in his mind, Chu Ning was not in a hurry.
Anyway, his Ice Shadow Sword Talisman can still be used again.
Moreover, as his cultivation level improves, various magical powers are also increasing.
It is not just relying on the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman.
Putting away the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman, Chu Ning looked at Ling Xiaobai who was still lying not far away.
Then he greeted the little guy.
"Xiaobai, try to attack me!"
This was not the first time Ling Xiaobai did this. He opened his mouth and blew out a light blue light that emitted a chilling aura.
Seeing this blue light, Chu Ning couldn't help but exclaimed.
The power of this blue light was no less than the power of the spells of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
However, looking at Ling Xiaobai's appearance, he was clearly equivalent to a third-level monster in the middle stage of foundation building.
It did not advance to the fourth-level monster.
However, this made Chu Ning more satisfied, as he had originally wanted to test the defense of this immortal golden body.
But Ling Xiaobai couldn't help but show a proud look in his little eyes after hearing Chu Ning's surprised cry.
But the next moment, the little guy cried out "嘤".
Originally, Ling Xiaobai thought Chu Ning was going to try some new spells, new magic weapons, etc.
But at this moment, he saw that the spells he cast were about to hit Chu Ning.
Chu Ning still stood there motionless, and couldn't help but cry out anxiously.
But the next moment, Ling Xiaobai's eyes widened directly.
But he saw that the ice spell, which was obviously powerful, fell on Chu Ning's body and it actually disintegrated directly.
And Chu Ning did not have even a trace of mana fluctuation from beginning to end.
"Hey!"
Ling Xiaobai cried out, and the next moment, his spiritual consciousness transmitted the sound to Chu Ning.
"Master, what magical power did you just use?"
"I didn't use any magical power." Chu Ning smiled slightly.
"I just took it by force with my body after refining my body."
When Ling Xiaobai heard this, his two little eyes widened again, and then, he actually showed a hint of frustration.
Chu Ning couldn't help but feel quite strange.
"Xiaobai, why are you frustrated?"
"I thought I was about to be promoted to the fourth-level monster and my cultivation became stronger."
Ling Xiaobai's spiritual sense sounded in Chu Ning's mind again.
"But the spells now don't seem to be strong."
After hearing this, Chu Ning laughed, picked up Ling Xiaobai, the little guy, and reached out to touch his head.
"It's not that your spells are not strong enough, it's that I have made a breakthrough in my body refining.
The power of your spells can be compared with the spells of ordinary late-stage foundation-building cultivators."
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Ling Xiaobai's little eyes suddenly flashed with joy.
At this moment, Chu Ning was also somewhat curious and asked Ling Xiaobai:
"Little guy, are you about to advance to level 4?"
"Ying!!" Ling Xiaobai nodded somewhat proudly at this time.
"Next, I need to sleep for a while, but I can't put it in the spirit beast bag."
"Okay!" Chu Ning also smiled.
This little guy's advancement speed is really not slow.
Normal speaking, the time for the cultivation and advancement of monsters will be much slower than that of cultivators.
But even compared with a cultivator like himself who has a plug-in, Ling Xiaobai is not much slower.
I have to say that this talent is really outstanding.
Ling Xiaobai can help to test the strength of the physical body, but the immortal golden body shield cannot be tried. After all, he can't find a Jindan cultivator to compete now.
Looking at his own cultivation proficiency again, Chu Ning pondered for a while at this time.
The first volume of the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Art has been cultivated to perfection, and it seems that the matter of finding the second volume of the exercises should indeed be put on the agenda.
Just as Chu Ning was thinking this, he felt something in his heart and flashed to the outside of the cave.
"Uncle Chu!"
Wang Ping was standing outside the cave at this moment. When he saw Chu Ning coming out, he immediately bowed his hands.
Seeing this, Chu Ning said helplessly:
"Wang Ping, I have told you several times that since you have successfully established your foundation, we can just call each other brothers."
Wang Ping saw this and scratched his head.
"I am used to calling you that, and I can't change it for a while. Besides, everyone says that you will succeed in forming a pill sooner or later, so it's okay for me to call you that."
After hearing this, Chu Ning smiled and looked at Wang Ping.
Good guy, this little fool is starting to be a little smart and will take the initiative to flatter.
However, based on Chu Ning's understanding of Wang Ping, he knew that this guy was very likely thinking this way in his heart.
Of course, on the other hand, Wang Ping was indeed grateful and humbled himself.
After all, two and a half years ago, Wang Ping failed to establish his foundation after taking the foundation-building pill given by Chu Ning, and then Chu Ning gave him another foundation-building pill.
Wang Ping also took this opportunity to build his foundation successfully.
So even though Wang Ping has been a foundation-building cultivator for the past two years, he still regards himself as a junior to Chu Ning, and even takes the initiative to do some errands.
However, Chu Ning actually doesn't have too many things to do, which doesn't delay Wang Ping's practice.
On the contrary, Chu Ning can occasionally give some pointers when Wang Ping is refining pills.
Seeing that Wang Ping refused to change his words, Chu Ning simply stopped forcing him and asked what he wanted to see him for.
Wang Ping also explained his purpose.
"Yes, there is news from the Mission Hall that the refining materials that you, Master, issued a mission to find last time have been found by a disciple.
Do you want me to get them for you?"
"Refining materials?" Chu Ning remembered that he did issue a mission last time that required two types of refining materials.
The main reason was that after killing a red flame beast in the Wolong Valley, the materials on this fifth-level monster were quite suitable for refining a magic weapon.
But there were two types of materials, and the Jiuhua Sect did not have all of them, so Chu Ning issued a mission.
Chu Ning was about to ask Wang Ping to get it for him, but at this moment, he felt something in his heart, and when he raised his hand, a sound transmission talisman fell into his hand.
Chu Ning took the sound transmission talisman and found that it was sent by Fu Lihong.
He was asked to go to Mingyue Peak to discuss something, but the sound transmission talisman did not explain it clearly.
Thinking that he had to pass Jiuhua Peak to go to Mingyue Peak, Chu Ning said to Wang Ping:
"I will go there by myself, you can go and do your thing."
After Wang Ping left, Chu Ning also flew towards Jiuhua Peak and Mingyue Peak.
Jiuhua Peak was quite lively at this time. Outside the mission hall, many cultivators came and went.
There were still people trading some items as before.
"Master Uncle!"
"Master Uncle Chu!!"
Chu Ning was now known to everyone in Jiuhua Sect.
As soon as he appeared, all the cultivators bowed and saluted.
Chu Ning smiled at everyone, and his eyes swept over, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the cultivation of the Dao, inheritance and resources are still too important.
At this time, it can be seen that these disciples in the refining period have strong mana, and they are obviously practicing a high-level technique.
Moreover, in terms of level, it is obviously much higher than when Chu Ning came before.
Obviously, with the many inheritances and resources brought out from Wolong Valley, every disciple of Jiuhua Sect has gained a lot of benefits.
Naturally, this cultivation is also greatly improved.
This can be proved by the obvious increase in the number of times Chu Ning refined the foundation-building pill.
In fact, after Sang Pingnan came, the Jiuhua Sect cultivators were somewhat worried that the Daluo Sect would cause trouble again.
However, there was no movement from the Daluo Sect afterwards.
Especially after Tang Yu showed up at the Yunxiao League, the matter seemed to have died down.
Of course, the Daluo Sect might still be brooding over this matter in private.
But on the surface, firstly, they did not figure out what happened in the ruins of the Wolong Valley.
Secondly, it was naturally because of Tang Yu's improvement in cultivation.
Although all the sects in the Yunxiao League knew that Tang Yu's life span might be only about a hundred years.
And there was not much chance to enter the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
However, the improvement in cultivation this time gave him the top-level combat power of the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
Even though the Daluo Sect had two Nascent Soul cultivators, the Daluo Sect did not dare to force Tang Yu before Sang Pingnan officially advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Therefore, in these three years, the cultivators of Jiuhua Sect also ushered in a relatively stable cultivation period.
The strength of the cultivators has improved, and naturally more resources can be obtained outside.
The entire sect has entered a very virtuous cycle.
In just three years, there have been great changes.
As the place where the sect disciples gather the most, the Mission Hall is naturally very lively.
Chu Ning did not stay here for too long.
After taking away the two refining materials he wanted, Chu Ning flew away from Jiuhua Peak in the respectful voices of the crowd and went straight to Mingyue Peak.
Mingyue Peak, as the place where the elders of the sect live, is naturally located deeper in the mountains.
Although Chu Ning has been in the sect for more than ten years, he has only been to this area a few times.
This Mingyue Peak has never been here before.
As soon as he flew into the range of Mingyue Peak, Chu Ning felt the rich ice attribute.
Even the temperature is several degrees lower than other places.
This is naturally related to the fact that Fu Lihong and Shang Xiaohan are both practicing ice-attributed skills.
Either this peak is naturally like this, or Fu Lixiao has set up some formations here.
However, Chu Ning didn't feel anything like this temperature.
Not to mention the various skills and magical powers he practiced, the ice and fire silk armor alone made him immune to cold and heat.
"Brother Chu, you're here!"
At this moment, Shang Xiaohan appeared.
While leading Chu Ning into a courtyard in the peak, he looked at Chu Ning with a hint of anger.
"I invited Brother Chu to Mingyue Peak before, but Brother Chu didn't come for three years. If it weren't for the master's message, I'm afraid Brother Chu might not come."
Chu Ning laughed when he heard this:
"I have always been used to practicing hard, and I rarely go to other peaks."
Chu Ning had just finished speaking when Fu Lihong's voice came out from the courtyard.
"I'm afraid that's why Junior Brother Chu's cultivation has improved so quickly."
As she spoke, Fu Lixiao, who was standing in the yard, looked at Chu Ning, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
"It's been a while since I last saw you, Junior Brother Chu seems to have improved his cultivation a lot."
Chu Ning smiled and didn't reply.
Since he came to Jiuhua Sect, he rarely used the Yinmu Spirit Body to hide his aura.
In the past three years, his Yanhuo Shenmu Gong and Jiuyan Refining Body Art have improved a lot, without deliberately hiding it.
As a Jindan cultivator, Fu Lihong can naturally feel it.
Without continuing on this topic, Chu Ning asked Fu Lihong:
"Uncle Fu, you sent a message saying that you have something to discuss, I wonder..."
Fu Lihong heard that Chu Ning did not answer, so she naturally did not ask more questions, and nodded slightly:
"I heard Senior Brother Ling mention it last time, it seems that you want to go to Jinfeng Fort to find the follow-up practice method of the Jiuyan Body Refining Art?"
When Chu Ning heard this, he was a little surprised, but still nodded and said:
"It is true, but it is not very urgent, but I didn't tell you, Uncle Fu."
"That's just right!" Fu Lihong smiled at this time.
"The Jinfeng Fort sent me a message a few days ago, saying that there is a fourth-level monster in their place.
They want me to arrange a disciple to help. I originally intended to let Xiaohan go, but I am still a little worried about her crossing the level to deal with the fourth-level monster.
Why don't you go together, nephew Chu, if they really have this method, they will give it to you."
After Fu Lihong said this, Shang Xiaohan looked at Chu Ning expectantly.
Chu Ning hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed:
"Okay, I'll go there."
He had already practiced the first volume of the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Art to perfection, and indeed needed follow-up exercises.
Even if Fu Lihong didn't look for him this time, Chu Ning planned to find an opportunity to ask her.
Now that the Jinfeng Fort just happened to need the Jiuhua Sect, it would be easier for him to ask.
The two of them agreed to set off early the next morning.
Back in his cave, Chu Ning told Ling Xiaobai that he was going out. The little guy had to sleep for a while to prepare for the promotion, so he naturally stayed in this cave.
Then, Chu Ning sent a message to Yu Changge, Ling Cang and Ge Liuyang to prevent the three from looking for him.
The next morning, Shang Xiaohan came to Lingyan Peak early and invited Chu Ning to set off together.
The two went straight to the Jinfeng Fort.
Strictly speaking, Jinfengbao is not in the Yunxiao Mountains.
Instead, it is located in a place called Honghukou.
Honghukou actually occupies a large area, but there are no high-level spiritual veins here, and it is located at the junction of Yunxiao League, Tianji League and Demon League.
Therefore, there are no major sects here, and it has become a no-man's land.
As a result, it has become a great place for some major immortal families and some small forces to settle down.
A family occupies several small hills, and in addition to doing some business with the monks, many families live a relatively comfortable life.
Jinfengbao is one of them.
This family power, which has been passed down for two thousand years, has always stood firm in such a place, and naturally has its own unique features.
The reason is probably that there have always been Jindan cultivators in Jinfengbao.
For the sects in those major alliances, it is not too rare to have Jindan cultivators.
Those are all places where Yuanying cultivators talk.
But in such a place, having a Jindan cultivator is enough to deter and protect the family.
However, all this began to change more than two hundred years ago.
The Jindan cultivator of Jinfeng Fort died, but no Jindan cultivator appeared among his descendants.
Even after another two hundred years, there was only one late-stage foundation-building cultivator in the clan.
The living space of Jinfeng Fort at the mouth of Honghu Lake is getting smaller and smaller.
In recent months, disciples in the sect have often been attacked by a fourth-level snow shadow spider within their sphere of influence, and have suffered heavy casualties.
Jin Deqian, the current lord of Jinfeng Fort, personally went out, but not only did he fail to kill the snow shadow spider, but he was injured in that battle.
This made everyone in Jinfeng Fort anxious.
At this time, Jin Deqian suddenly remembered that the family had a crisis two hundred years ago, and asked the Jindan elder of Jiuhua Sect to solve it.
So he tried to send a message.
Unexpectedly, the Jindan elder of Jiuhua Sect actually arranged someone to come.
So after receiving the news, Jin Deqian was waiting outside Jinfeng Fort early.
At this moment, outside Jinfeng Fort, in addition to Jin Deqian, who was dressed in a brocade robe and looked like a big businessman with a slightly pale face.
There were more than ten men and women standing.
At this time, a young man who looked only about thirty years old, but had already reached the initial stage of foundation building, said:
"Dad, you haven't recovered from your injury yet, why don't you go to the house to rest first, we will wait here first.
When the fellow Taoists from Jiuhua Sect come, it won't be too late to come out to greet them."
"No!" Jin Deqian shook his head.
"Even when our Jinfeng Fort was at its peak, it was not at the same level as a big sect like Jiuhua Sect.
What's more, now that we need help from others, we naturally have to lower our attitude."
When the more than ten people around heard Jin Deqian's words, the expressions on their faces were somewhat not very good.
As a member of Jinfeng Fort, the family is not strong and the situation is becoming increasingly embarrassing, so they can naturally empathize.
Only the young man who spoke first had a flashing look in his eyes, and said unconvincedly:
"But sooner or later, our Jinfeng Fort will definitely return to its heyday, no, it will exceed its previous heyday."
Hearing the young man's words, Jin Deqian looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Changhui, you have already entered the fourth level of body refining, which is comparable to the initial stage of foundation building, at the age of 32, and now you are facing a breakthrough.
You are the cultivator with the most hope of forming a pill in our Jin family in the past two hundred years.
As long as we can survive this period, our Jinfeng Fort will indeed be able to rise again in the future."
Jin Deqian still values Jin Changhui, the third son.
When Jinfeng Fort was passed down to this generation, the three brothers of Jin Deqian had a total of eight boys and three girls, and Jin Changhui was the one with the best qualifications.
Hearing Jin Deqian praising Jin Changhui like this, the eyes of other people in the Jin family could not help but look at him with some complex envy.
At this moment, Jin Deqian's face was serious again, and his tone was also a little stern.
"However, you still need to be humble to the fellow Taoists from Jiuhua Sect.
There are many people with excellent qualifications in this sect, so you must not be a slacker."
Jin Changhui quickly responded to his father's slightly harsh words.
But there was a hint of disapproval in his eyes.
At the same time, he was secretly muttering in his heart.
"If I don't invite this Jiuhua Sect member to come, I can invite someone else, and a mere fourth-level monster can be destroyed just as easily."
While everyone in Jinfeng Castle was chatting, two rays of light, one green and one white, flew from the distance.
"coming!"
As soon as he saw these two rays of light, Jin Deqian's face immediately lit up with joy.
Everyone in the Jin family also looked up one after another.
The two escaping lights were so fast that they landed in front of the Golden Peak Castle in the blink of an eye.
A man and a woman also appeared, naturally they were Chu Ning and Shang Xiaohan.
Everyone in Jinfeng Castle was slightly surprised when they saw that the visitor was so young.
But when they felt the cultivation aura of the two people again, everyone's expressions couldn't help but become a little more solemn.
"Such a young person in the late stage of foundation building really deserves to be a monk from a large sect like Jiuhua Sect!"
The three Jin Deqian brothers were slightly better, but the faces of the younger generation behind them were all full of envy at this moment.
Jin Changhui's eyes were flickering at this moment, with a hint of jealousy.
"This female cultivator is actually born with a rare cold body. She seems to be practicing ice attribute skills, which is quite rare. She is already in the middle stage of foundation building.
And this male cultivator looks younger than me, and has actually reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. "
Some of the younger monks were a bit out of their element, but Jin Deqian took a step forward and held his hands towards the two of them.
"Is he Daoist Fellow Chu and Fellow Daoist Shang of the Jiuhua Sect?
Jin Deqian, who is under Jinfengbao, has met two Taoist friends. Senior Fu summoned the two Taoist friends to come today. The whole castle is looking forward to it. "
This time she came in the name of Fu Lihong, so Chu Ning told Shang Xiaohan on the way that she would take charge of specific affairs.
There was no answer.
Shang Xiaohan also bowed his hands and responded:
"Master Jinbao, you're too polite..."
While Shang Xiaohan and Jin Deqian were chatting, Chu Ning's eyes swept over the people in Jinfeng Castle.
I couldn't help but have a rough idea of the opponent's strength.
One is in the late stage of foundation building, two are in the middle stage of foundation building, and four are in the early stage of foundation building.
At the same time, Chu Ning's eyes fell on Jin Changhui inadvertently.
I couldn't help but say "Hey" secretly.
However, there was no expression on his face.
At this time, after Shang Xiaohan and Shang Xiaohan exchanged a few words, Jin Deqian invited Chu Ke and Shang Xiaohan to enter the castle and sit down.
“Master Jinbao, I don’t know where the fourth-level Snow Shadow Spider’s lair is.
Senior Brother Chu and I went together so that we could kill it early. "
Shang Xiaohan asked about the fourth-level Snow Shadow Spider.
Jin Deqian had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face and said:
"This beast is really powerful. I couldn't find out where its lair is."
As he spoke, he quickly added another sentence:
"But according to the past pattern of this monster, it will come out in about five days. Calculating the time, it should appear in two days."
Hearing that the two of them would stay here for two more days, Chu Ning and Shang Xiaohan couldn't help but look at each other.
Chu Ning was still thinking about another purpose of her trip, so she simply asked directly:
"Master Jinbao, I heard that your ancestor came from the Sky Eagle Sect and was famous for his body refining skills.
I wonder if you have ever heard of the Jiuyan Body Refining Technique? "
"Nine Evolution Body Refining Techniques?" Jin Deqian suddenly laughed when he heard Chu Ning's question.
"Of course I have heard of it, this Nine-Evolution Body Refining Technique is very famous among us body refining monks.
However, this technique is really difficult to practice, and there is a bottleneck period in each volume and level.
Although I, Jinfeng Castle, have two volumes of the Nine-Evolution Body Refining Technique, almost no one has practiced it in the past thousand years. "
Chu Ning's eyes lit up at this moment and asked:
"Master Jinbao, do you have the second volume of the Nine Evolution Body Refining Techniques?"
