I heard it’s difficult to grow...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rapidly recounted everything discussed earlier, but Chu Ning calmly replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your concern, Shunyi. I’ll give it a try, and if it doesn’t work out, the harvest will just be a bit less this season.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, well, you’ve already taken the seeds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Shunyi sighed, said no more, but then remembered something and added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Senior Brother Zhuang asked you to wait here. He’ll come to get you after taking care of the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning, who was worried about whom to find, quickly went to pack his things upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once done, he found that Shang Zhaoxiang and Cao Dongxin had returned from the fields as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chu Ning come out, Shang Zhaoxiang was the first to speak with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Chu, I’ve heard from Shunyi. Congratulations, your high-level spirit field in Zone D is larger by 2 acres than ours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Zhaoxiang’s remark made Cao Dongxin’s expression grow more complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two also cultivated in Zone D with 10 acres, but they only had 3 acres of high-level spirit field, 5 acres of middle-level, and 2 acres of low-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Chu Ning outperformed them right from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sect’s usual policy favors disciples with strength or potential by providing more resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning, acknowledging them, said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I owe my thanks to both of you for your support during this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Shang Zhaoxiang exchanged polite words, Cao Dongxin felt compelled to soften his previous harshness but couldn’t bring himself to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning was uninterested in engaging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Cao Dongxin was strict during these three months, sending him to the fields allowed Chu Ning to discover the benefits of the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill in cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a way, it was a pleasant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Zhuang Yunde arrived, and Chu Ning bid farewell to the three and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking a while, a smile appeared on Zhuang Yunde’s plump face, and he softly asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Chu chose to plant Ink Spirit Bamboo, so you must have already learned the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning, hearing this, did not hide it and admitted, \"I’ve just begun but still need to practice more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Yunde nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I observed your skill in using the Accelerating Technique and Clearing Technique; it seems you’re well aligned with a Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, choosing to plant Ink Spirit Bamboo, are you perhaps interested in Talisman Making?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning immediately grew cautious, responding:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does Senior Brother ask such a question?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Yunde chuckled, \"Ink Spirit Bamboo is hard to plant, and few choose it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you’re new, one wouldn’t consider it unless interested in Talisman Making.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning didn’t confirm this time, instead shaking his head and saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I merely heard that Ink Spirit Bamboo yields good talisman paper, so I wanted to try. I don’t know anything about Talisman Making.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Yunde chuckled again, \"No rush; you can see how the Ink Spirit Bamboo turns out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This remark hinted at something more, Chu Ning mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after saying this, Zhuang Yunde dropped the topic and instead talked about things to consider when cultivating spirit fields alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>LThen, after familiarizing Chu Ning with his spirit field and residence, he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhuang Yunde departed, Chu Ning gazed at his private courtyard with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, I own a piece of land, oh wait, it’s ten acres!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1381,"2026-06-02T10:18:59.501Z",1,"novelbin.me","b0d339f345bb7474550bd81956f394e4bcbc1a7bf50d99e7d00ab2aeb41b07d4","eternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-chapter-16","eternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-chapter-14",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-cover.jpg"]
