coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then turned around and flew away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wanhong did not even glance at Chu Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the figures of the two disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Chu Ning slowly lower the hand that was holding his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze flickered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That guy from the Song Family, I’ll remember you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning’s brow slightly twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he turned around and walked back into the array slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Chu Ning entered the cave mansion, Cen Zijin immediately approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chu Ning’s pale face, a hint of anger flashed in her bright eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Song Feng is getting increasingly outrageous, actually using a Spiritual Sense Attack on a Qi Refining Cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Cen Zijin looked at Chu Ning worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Chu, are you okay now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Restoring your spiritual sense as a Qi Refining Cultivator is exceptionally slow, if it’s severely damaged, the recovery time might be quite long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning waved his hand slightly, though his complexion was still somewhat pale, it had started to show a hint of redness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The treasure I used to defend against the Yin Soul attack earlier has some effect in resisting Spiritual Sense Attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although my head did feel like it was going to explode for a moment, the injury isn’t very severe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning didn’t want to exaggerate his injury; otherwise, he would have to constantly act, which would be tiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, during the defense against the Yin Spirit, Cen Zijin had already seen some of his methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All were focused on spiritual sense-type attacks, so saying this didn’t pose any flaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, upon hearing Chu Ning’s response, Cen Zijin didn’t continue questioning, but rather sighed in relief and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, it’s for the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, you might have been implicated by me just now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cen Zijin sighed slightly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Song Family and our Cen Family have been at odds, and he might have noticed that your array is somewhat related to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chu Ning slightly opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he felt wise in decisively refusing the request when Fairy Cen sent a maid to summon him after the Thousand Islands competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought at the time, the title of the number one Immortal of Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands sounded like a lot of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, later on, he ended up getting involved for the sake of this array and talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Chu Ning sighed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now we truly share the same affliction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fellow Daoist Cen, staying here, I hope you won’t encounter more trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dealing with you, it’s indeed a bit risky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Cen Zijin heard Chu Ning’s words, she rolled her eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she knew Chu Ning was telling the truth, was he only considering her a trouble despite her beauty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cen Zijin wanted to refute him a bit, but seeing Chu Ning’s pale face and recalling past experiences on Pinghu Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, this Fairy Cen swallowed her words back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then furrowed her brows slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging from Liu Wanhong’s description, the two seem to be Great Monarch Peng from Shadow Moon Island and He Mingjin from Bita Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, some cultivators mentioned that there were Foundation Establishment Cultivators engaging in Magical Combat nearby, could it be them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cen Zijin spoke while looking thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These two islands indeed rely on the Liu Family and the Song Family respectively.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning listened to Cen Zijin’s words, pretending not to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this ordeal, both of them lost interest in further conversation and returned to their own chambers to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, they focused on healing and cultivation respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The separate stone chambers had restrictions in place, so they weren’t disturbed by each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, protected by the chamber’s restrictions, Chu Ning could practice the Blazing Fire Flaming Technique with peace of mind, without worrying about Cen Zijin hearing any commotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their interactions, initially limited to occasional chats before and after meals, gradually increased in frequency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They talked about the general situation of the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, and about cultivation paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From time to time, Chu Ning would pose some cultivation-related questions, which Cen Zijin would answer if she knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This period brought significant gains to Chu Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, from Cen Zijin, he learned that the six major families of the Thousand Islands Alliance weren’t united.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally, they formed three factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Liu Family, Song Family, and Huo Family were closer allied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the Chen Family and Shi Family formed another close alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cen Family has always maintained relative independence between the two factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ability to sustain such a structure is mainly due to expertise in arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in this Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, the teleportation arrays and various other arrays on each island are indispensable from the Cen Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the teleportation arrays also represent one of the significant income sources for the Thousand Islands Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in recent years, the Cen Family patriarch, Cen Zijin’s uncle Cen Wenquan, appeared to have intentions to get closer to the Chen Family and Shi Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This led the other three families to subtly target the Cen Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cen Zijin previously pulled Chu Ning into an alliance because she was somewhat excluded by the three families in the Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All other businesses, aside from arrays, became quite bleak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their conversations, they also tried to subtly inquire about each other’s background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, Cen Zijin was slightly curious about Chu Ning’s many methods and had casually inquired about his origins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning naturally dodged those inquiries with casual responses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also tried to find out whether the external rumors about Cen Zijin were true casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, whether she really became a disciple of a certain Golden Core Cultivator and why she chose not to join a Major Sect but stayed there instead.\u003C\u002Fp>",994,"2026-06-02T10:18:59.779Z",1,"novelbin.me","7f70435b484c1f2c754d4510c18531cb6a1fdcd4e7c117cbc13a2050bc81c88d","eternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-chapter-294","eternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-chapter-292",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-cover.jpg"]
