instead, disciples in Zone C may have an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, I must find a way to become a Zone C disciple,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning carefully considered all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Chu Ning met all the hard requirements to upgrade to a Zone C disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, reaching the Middle Stage of Qi Refining and being able to instantly cast several planting spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being able to do all this doesn’t guarantee promotion to a Zone C disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every year, Cyan Creek Sect conducts a promotion exam, and the slots are extremely limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by surpassing others in the promotion exam can one earn a spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the time of the promotion exam, Chu Ning knew it would be three months later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After joining the sect, three months later, Chu Ning was assigned the Spirit Field, which was left by the previously promoted disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I originally planned to keep a low profile and develop quietly, but now it seems I need to fight for what deserves to be fought for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering his courtyard, Chu Ning’s expression became more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he was not competing against newcomers like Yuan Guang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would be competing against all Zone D servant disciples, including many senior brothers who had joined the sect for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning, as a newly entered disciple, was going to participate in the promotion exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether or not he could complete the promotion, it would certainly attract some attention from others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this time, Chu Ning couldn’t worry too much about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking through to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer within a few months as a servant disciple wasn’t too shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for casting spells, he could use his previous explanations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he truly entered Zone C and stayed low for a while, people would naturally forget about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an opportunity, once missed, would not come again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding this, Chu Ning almost didn’t hesitate, immediately deciding to participate in the promotion exam three months later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Chu Ning did some farming and cultivation every day, without any special incidents occurring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One evening, as Chu Ning was returning from the fields, he unexpectedly found that the door to Qi Chongmao’s courtyard next door was open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning’s heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could someone be investigating Qi Chongmao’s disappearance again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Yunde clearly said that the sect wouldn’t investigate the disappearance of servant disciples too extensively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Law Enforcement Hall already checked ten days ago, so why would someone investigate now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Chu Ning unconsciously slowed his steps slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he faintly heard voices coming from the courtyard, indicating someone was preparing to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning hesitated no more, casually opened the door, and prepared to enter his own courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow disciple, please stay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning had just stepped into his courtyard when a voice behind him made him stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, Chu Ning saw that the people coming out from Qi Chongmao’s courtyard were a man and a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was of medium build, about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking somewhat naive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman appeared younger, not stunningly beautiful but had some charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a simple sense of the two, Chu Ning found that their magical power was stronger than his, as they had both reached the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow disciple, we are newly assigned by the sect to live here; we’re neighbors now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man spoke, and Chu Ning was a bit surprised to hear this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected that in just a month, the sect had arranged for someone to live in Qi Chongmao’s courtyard, and it was a couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning occasionally saw female disciples in Zone D, but it was the first time he’d seen a married couple like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could speak, the woman spoke first:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, without introducing yourself, how will others know who you are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man chuckled, and after the woman spoke, she turned to Chu Ning and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow disciple, I’m Lu Yunfang, and this is my husband Luo Hongping. We’ve just returned from outside and have been assigned to live in this courtyard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing their introduction, Chu Ning cupped his hands, \"Chu Ning greets Senior Brother and Senior Sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he was a bit surprised, \"Senior Sister, you said you returned from outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, we usually reside in a Cultivation Clan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lu Yunfang’s explanation, Chu Ning finally understood the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out they previously worked in the spirit fields of a Cultivation Clan under the sect’s jurisdiction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clan had many spirit fields, but due to a dwindling population, there were fewer cultivators with spirit roots, so they weren’t able to tend to all the spirit fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Luo Hongping and his wife were assigned by the sect to manage it externally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the past few years, the clan slowly produced a few more cultivators. The couple had been wanting to return to the sect, but there just wasn’t a suitable opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, with Qi Chongmao’s disappearance, leaving the spirit field unmanaged, they were called back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yunfang smiled and added, \"We just wanted to introduce ourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they finished speaking, Chu Ning didn’t engage further, choosing to appear not very sociable, and politely saw them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite their warmth, given Qi Chongmao’s precedent, Chu Ning remained cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, looking kind doesn’t necessarily mean being harmless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lighting a fire and cooking spirit rice, Chu Ning ate a large bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Savoring the fragrance and feeling a faint flow of spiritual power through his body, he began cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, Chu Ning started with the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he practiced the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique for a while, and finally, he cultivated the Refining Spirit Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in Chu Ning’s Mud Ball Palace, his divine sense was still a swirling mist, yet to condense into liquid, meaning he still couldn’t use Spiritual Sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning didn’t mind, continuing cultivation according to the Refining Spirit Technique’s mantra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing all the day’s cultivation, it was already deep into the night. Chu Ning returned to his room and fell asleep immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, he took a few items from his Storage Bag and placed them by the pillow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Attack Talisman, a Defense Talisman, and his mysterious Black Wooden Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These items were all within easy reach for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the incident with Qi Chongmao, even within the sect, Chu Ning has become increasingly vigilant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with two new neighbors moving in next door today.\u003C\u002Fp>",1237,"2026-06-02T10:18:59.501Z",1,"novelbin.me","5e9ea3b19def0d96a876e7d41fe068f8be9accdc2cd88dd147fca1cd54db5d3f","eternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-chapter-50","eternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-chapter-48",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-cover.jpg"]
