"Excuse , are you Fellow Daoist Liu, Liu Ping?"
Chu Ning examined the female cultivator before him, who was also at the seventh layer of Qi Refining. Though he had so vague suspicions in his heart,
he still asked cautiously:
"What did you bring , Fellow Daoist?"
The middle-aged female cultivator reached out and took out a talisman, placed it in front of Chu Ning, and asked in return:
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist recognizes this talisman?"
"Fla Wing Talisman!"
Upon seeing this talisman, Chu Ning’s eyes flickered slightly.
This talisman was a Magic True Talisman he created after cultivating the Blazing Fire Flaming Technique, using a Fla-winged Bird.
He was the only one able to create it, so he specially gave it to Cen Zijin as a token when it was inconvenient for her to collect talismans and elixirs, for others to give and receive with Chu Ning.
The woman was filled with joy upon hearing Chu Ning imdiately na the talisman.
"It really is Fellow Daoist Liu. I’ve been coming here for half a day every day for the past two months.
Today I’m finally seeing you, Fellow Daoist."
As she spoke, the woman took out a storage bag from her bosom and handed it to Chu Ning.
"Please help pass this storage bag on to soone, and convey a ssage.
You will understand once you see what’s inside."
Chu Ning reached out to take it, nodding as he said, "I will convey it."
"Then I’ll take my leave now."
As soon as the female cultivator left, Chu Ning also quickly exited the inn.
Arriving at a secluded spot, Chu Ning briefly checked the contents of the storage bag, and soon took out a piece of talisman paper from it.
This talisman paper wasn’t crafted into a talisman, but had a few lines written on it.
"I have already gone to Yaochi Palace, no need to worry.
This Illusion Technique is very useful and helped a lot.
Yaochi Palace is too far from here, no need to co looking for ; if fate allows, we will et again.
—Cen Zijin."
Seeing the words written on the talisman paper, Chu Ning imdiately let out a sigh of relief.
He did not continue to look at the other items, but returned directly to the cave mansion on Feihong Island.
In the outermost stone chamber, facing the lake, Chu Ning finally took out the items one by one from the storage bag.
Aside from the talisman paper with writing, there was a small bag of middle grade spirit stones, a jade scroll, many spirit dicines, and a set of array formation tools.
Cen Zijin had written notes on each item.
Looking at these items, Chu Ning seed to see Cen Zijin sitting opposite him, a bright smile on her face, softly speaking between the flickering of her eyes.
"These spirit stones are from selling your talismans and elixirs, without giving a share to Cen Workshop."
"I collected so spirit dicines for alchemy, see if you can use them. Those spirit fruits are for Xiaobai to eat."
"This set of array formation tools is sothing I’ve researched in recent years, combining many ancient arrays, which can directly integrate with the array you are currently using.
Once set up, even for a Golden Core Cultivator, it won’t be easy to break the defense.
The thods for setting up and using the array are engraved in the jade scroll.
Also recorded in the jade scroll are so basic techniques for distinguishing arrays and so thods for array breaking, which should be useful whether you stay in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands or go elsewhere."
...
Chu Ning looked at the empty seat opposite him, then turned his head to look at the rippling lake outside.
His emotions were exceptionally complex.
There was joy in knowing Cen Zijin was safe, but also lancholy over her departure.
After a long ti, Chu Ning waved his hand, and everything on the stone table, except for the spirit fruits, was stored back into the storage bag.
Imdiately, Chu Ning released Ling Xiaobai from the Spirit Beast Bag.
"Xiaobai, these spirit fruits are yours."
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Ling Xiaobai chirped with joy.
At the sa ti, the little one was slightly puzzled.
"Why so many?"
"These are from Cen Zijin for you. She’s left here and won’t be back for a while," Chu Ning explained.
Ling Xiaobai chirped again upon hearing this, then swallowed a spirit fruit.
Observing the little one’s delighted expression, a trace of a smile appeared on Chu Ning’s face.
"Co on, little one, let’s cultivate the Profound Fate Technique together and see if we can help you recover quicker.
I’m still waiting to take you to a place."
Saying this, Chu Ning quickly started forming a spell, reciting so obscure incantations.
A magical power channel connected between Chu Ning and Ling Xiaobai.
Soon, streams of Spiritual Qi rapidly converged onto Ling Xiaobai.
"It really is different after Foundation Establishnt!"
About an hour later, Chu Ning stopped, though he too had consud a significant amount of magical power.
Yet, he didn’t look too strained.
This was entirely different from when he was in those Ancient Sect Ruins, where he needed to continuously take elixirs to replenish.
After Ling Xiaobai returned to the Spirit Beast Room, Chu Ning finally cald his mind to contemplate what he needed to do next.
In terms of cultivation, there didn’t seem to be much pressure.
The Fla Divine Wood Technique continued to cultivate, he still had many Cyan Wood Primordial Yang Pills, so of which had been spirit refined, while others could continue to be refined.
These pills could support his cultivation for a long ti without issue.
Since he could perform alchemy, the trouble of elixirs wasn’t an issue anymore.
The difficult part, however, was obtaining the spirit dicines needed for alchemy, especially without Cen Zijin as a channel.
Whether it was purchasing spirit dicines or selling items for spirit stones, it wasn’t as convenient.
Nevertheless, Chu Ning was not in too much of a hurry.
