The first step in cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique is to perceive the Divine Sense.
This is a basic skill for Foundation Establishnt cultivators, but for Qi Refining cultivators, it is not easy.
Fortunately, yesterday Chu Ning had attempted it once to test his Divine Sense strength, so today he was sowhat familiar with it.
As his entire Heart Spirit sank into the Mud Ball Palace, Chu Ning suddenly felt the surroundings beco extrely quiet, with every grass and tree around him becoming perceptible.
In the location of the Mud Ball Palace, an intangible energy was slowly rotating.
This was precisely the state when cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique.
It’s unclear how much ti passed as Chu Ning slowly opened his eyes.
Then, he focused his Heart Spirit inside his mind, imdiately checking the changes in proficiency.
The Spirit Cultivation Technique is about cultivating Divine Sense, different from his previous Qi Cultivation and Body Cultivation, and he wanted to see if proficiency would appear.
Then he discovered that indeed the proficiency for the Refining Spirit Technique had appeared.
[Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique (Yellow Tier Lower Grade), Second Layer (244/900)]
[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volu One, Undying Bone 2/600]
[Refining Spirit Technique, First Layer 0/1000]
"This Refining Spirit Technique’s cultivation is really not simple, my Divine Sense is twice as strong as a normal cultivator’s."
But after a night of cultivation, there was no progress in proficiency at all."
According to the thod noted in the Refining Spirit Technique, when the intangible energy in the Mud Ball Palace is condensed into a liquid drop through cultivation, it is considered truly entering the practice.
At that ti, one can use the Divine Sense to sense outward.
And as one’s cultivation deepens, as this liquid drop grows, the further the outward sensing of the Divine Sense will reach.
After a night of cultivation, Chu Ning did not feel any sign of the Divine Sense turning into liquid, and even the airflow hadn’t changed much.
Clearly, this is a very long-term process.
But as Chu Ning thought about it, he eased his mind.
Divine Sense is indeed the most difficult thing for a cultivator to cultivate.
Otherwise, Qi Refining cultivators wouldn’t struggle just to comprehend it, and only Foundation Establishnt cultivators can perceive, cultivate, and use it.
Qi Chongmao had no idea how many years he had been cultivating, and he had only just reached the First Layer of Refining Spirit Technique.
At this mont, Chu Ning began to ponder another issue, which is the appearance of proficiency.
Based on his cultivation during this period, spells cannot be displayed, and cultivation cannot receive rewards.
Now, the ones that can be displayed are the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique, Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, and the Refining Spirit Technique.
Each corresponds to Qi Refining, Body Refinent, and Refining Spirit.
Realizing this, Chu Ning pondered deeply.
He began to recall the rewards refreshed after proficiency reached Perfection.
His Qi Cultivation refreshed into the Yin Wood Spirit Body and Talismanic Spirit Body.
In refining the Perfection state of Volu One of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, the Innate Divine Technique Celestial Spirit Fist was refreshed.
It is a Divine Power Secret Technique that cos with the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.
According to this speculation, the refreshed Innate Divine Technique after the Perfection of the Undying Bone Realm is likely to be of a similar kind.
And when the First Layer of the Refining Spirit Technique refreshes, could it be an Innate Divine Technique related to the application of Divine Sense?
Perhaps it might even directly convert the Illusion God Needle into an Innate Divine Technique?
Thinking this way, Chu Ning felt as though he vaguely figured out the pattern of the Golden Finger’s refresh, instilling so anticipation in his heart.
However, at present, it seems that whether it’s Qi Refining, Body Refinent, or Refining Spirit, it seems unlikely that he can achieve a breakthrough in the short term, which made Chu Ning feel a bit frustrated.
Of course, even though that is the case, cultivation must still proceed and the necessary actions must still be taken.
Chu Ning continued to carefully nurture the Ink Spirit Bamboo and Purple Ling Grass daily.
Accumulating for this season’s harvest, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this half month, Chu Ning made the fastest progress in the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.
The proficiency of the Undying Bone Realm was rapidly increased to 50 in half a month’s ti.
However, over the past two days, perhaps due to the Seven-Star Spirit Fruit’s dicinal effect being fully absorbed, the progress of Body Refinent had returned to normal.
As the ti was approaching for the monthly delivery of talisman paper to Mu Ling, Chu Ning prepared to head to the Market.
On one hand, naturally, it was to convey the impression of going to the Market to buy talisman paper, and on the other, he also planned to buy so talismans.
During the previous conflicts with Qi Chongmao, the talismans in his hand were nearly used up.
Through two battles, Chu Ning increasingly realized the importance of talismans.
Especially when his spell cultivation was still limited, and their power wasn’t strong enough.
Having talismans at hand provided additional ans of protection.
Speaking of talismans, Chu Ning felt slightly frustrated.
Even though his Talismanic Spirit Body had refreshed for over half a year, he could currently only make contact with talisman paper production.
The Talisman Making Technique had yet to be learned.
Chu Ning planned to explore other pathways to learn this after finishing the current season’s planting.
Otherwise, his innate advantage would be wasted.
After all, besides needing talismans himself now,
the inco from selling talismans was much higher than selling ordinary talisman paper.
Packing everything into his Storage Bag, just as he was about to step out, Chu Ning halted.
For at that sa mont, he saw several figures erging from the neighboring courtyard.
Among them, only Zhuang Yunde was familiar to him; the others weren’t recognizable.
But observing their cultivation levels, they all seed to surpass Zhuang Yunde’s.
Especially the stern-faced leading middle-aged man, who turned out to be a Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
Chu Ning’s heart imdiately tensed, though his face showed a hint of curiosity.
Zhuang Yunde and the others noticed Chu Ning as well, and Zhuang Yunde spoke first:
"Chu Ning, you ca out at the right mont. We were just about to look for you; this is Steward Zhang from the Law Enforcent Hall."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning imdiately cupped his hands and slightly bowed, saying:
"Greetings to Steward Zhang and fellow senior brothers."
Steward Zhang didn’t respond but directed his sharp gaze straight at Chu Ning.
Instantly, Chu Ning felt a trendous pressure as if the man’s eyes were piercing through him completely.
Feeling inwardly shocked, a faint chill also ran down Chu Ning’s spine.
Fortunately, Steward Zhang didn’t maintain it for long and slightly withdrew his gaze.
As the pressure reduced, Chu Ning heard his cold voice:
"Have you seen Qi Chongmao recently?"
"Senior Brother Qi?" Chu Ning appropriately showed a slightly puzzled expression:
"I indeed haven’t seen him for so ti."
Steward Zhang’s cold voice continued.
"When was the last ti you saw him? Did you notice anything unusual?"
Thinking for a mont, Chu Ning replied:
"It’s been over half a month, perhaps. We t outside the courtyard and exchanged greetings.
I don’t rember the exact day, and I didn’t notice anything unusual."
"Hmph!" Steward Zhang snorted coldly.
"You live just two courtyards apart, and the Spirit Field is adjacent. You haven’t visited his courtyard for many days?"
Hearing the bluntness in Steward Zhang’s words, Chu Ning showed a hint of anxiety, hesitatingly saying:
"I’m a newly inducted disciple, spending most of my ti tending to the Ink Spirit Bamboo in the Spirit Field.
I don’t et Senior Brother Qi often, so I indeed didn’t pay much attention."
"Steward Zhang," Zhuang Yunde interjected from the side.
"Chu Ning has been in the Sect for just over a year; now he’s responsible for 5 acres of High-Level Spirit Field in Zone D.
He does spend most of his ti managing there."
Hearing Zhuang Yunde’s words, Steward Zhang finally retracted his gaze from Chu Ning, though casting an impatient glance at Zhuang Yunde.
"Even the Spirit Plant Room doesn’t know when their own servant disciple disappears; how could you manage?"
Finished speaking, Steward Zhang whisked his sleeves and departed, leaving only Chu Ning and Zhuang Yunde behind.
Watching Steward Zhang leave with the Law Enforcent Hall disciples, Chu Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
