I want to buy some things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning asked again, and the middle-aged cultivator immediately shook his head and replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! We usually go to Jiuhua City, where the Jiuhua Sect is located, to trade and buy things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, only familiar cultivators perform some small trades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon saying this, he paused slightly, and the middle-aged cultivator added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh yes, if you want to buy elixirs, you can directly find Alchemist Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sells elixirs once every half month, which can be exchanged with Spirit Stones or other items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Daoist friends and seniors also trade items with each other during this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Chu Ning thoughtfully nodded. It seemed this so-called Alchemist Xiao indeed had some renown in the vicinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After inquiring about the residence of this Alchemist Xiao, Chu Ning then waved his hand, letting the group leave directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Chu Ning did not make things difficult for them, the middle-aged cultivator was greatly relieved and elated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the middle-aged cultivator left, Chu Ning thought for a while and then flew towards the northwest side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Alchemist Xiao was so renowned in this vicinity and had Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be more informed about news as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he couldn’t meet him in person, visiting the area might allow him to encounter some Foundation Establishment cultivators purchasing elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Chu Ning was new here, he wanted to find a suitable place for cultivation, so it was worth checking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each level of cultivators had their own circles, and Chu Ning had just inquired with the middle-aged cultivator about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the places mentioned by the other party might allow for cultivation, but only had a Tier One Spirit Vein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Chu Ning didn’t necessarily need to find an exceptional place, it shouldn’t be worse than Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, his goal was to find a more ideal location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His next target was to reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and even to attempt Core Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another reason Chu Ning wanted to visit the place where Alchemist Xiao resided was to see the level of alchemy here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the middle-aged cultivator, Alchemist Xiao’s alchemy skills were top-level in the whole Jiuhua Mountain area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even within the Jiuhua Sect, only one or two Golden Core cultivators could surpass him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning wanted to experience this for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying in the northwest direction for over fifty miles, Chu Yao encountered another cultivator, asked a few questions, and quickly found out the specific residence of Alchemist Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flying another four or five miles, Chu Ning arrived under a cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, Chu Ning vaguely saw that there was only a not very complicated array blocking the cliff wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of array seemed to only resist Qi Refining cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Chu Ning hesitated whether to directly visit Alchemist Xiao or wait around to see if other cultivators would arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice suddenly came from the cliff wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you are already here, why not come directly? My array has some use, but it cannot trap a Foundation Establishment cultivator like you, can it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Chu Ning cupped his hands and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it’s Fellow Daoist Xiao, my apologies for the disturbance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Chu Ning unfolded his divine sense, probing towards the cliff wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this Alchemist Xiao was also at Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning’s divine sense was far stronger than that of an ordinary Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was confident that as long as he intended to hide it, the other party might not necessarily detect his divine sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since cultivating the Third Layer of the Refining Spirit Technique, Chu Ning had learned many ways to utilize divine sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them was using divine sense to probe array restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if the array had strong defensive capabilities, Chu Ning would be unable to probe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like those Ancient Sect Ruins he had visited before and his own cave mansion at Yanfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for this array, Chu Ning could already see its defenses were not strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It naturally could not resist his divine sense probing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, not everyone’s cave mansion is like those of the Ancient Great Powers, and not everyone can develop an array like Cen Zijin’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Chu Ning’s divine sense quickly penetrated outside the array restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending a little effort, though his divine sense was slightly weakened, he quickly probed the situation within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately flew, directly heading towards the cliff wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash of his figure, he disappeared into the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning had learned several array-breaking methods from the materials left by Cen Zijin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, his earlier divine sense probing had given him a rough understanding of this array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the array, Chu Ning calmly maneuvered a few positions, and shortly traversed the outer defenses of the array restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arrived on a small platform on the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The platform hung upon the precipice, and several pavilions were built upon it, somewhat reminiscent of the Xuankong Temple buildings Chu Ning had seen in his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind one of the pavilions, a long passageway extended directly into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his divine sense, Chu Ning sensed that it led to an area inside the mountain that contained Earth Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That should be the other party’s alchemy room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a slight glance, Chu Ning’s attention settled on one of the pavilions.\u003C\u002Fp>",944,"2026-06-02T10:18:59.779Z",1,"novelbin.me","9f1a5a666ad586d25b69fd2f8bd72afdad5257d3bfc1aa9dcefa7f50985e23b5","eternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-chapter-405","eternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-chapter-403",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-cover.jpg"]
