Chapter 46: Immortal Bones and Spiritual Refining
After putting away the jade slip of the soul-refining technique and putting it in the storage bag, Chu Ning looked at the last bamboo plate.
This bamboo plate was made of ordinary bamboo at first glance, not spiritual bamboo at all.
There was a crude pattern engraved on it. In Chu Ning's opinion, it was just some randomly carved lines without any rules.
Chu Ning looked at it over and over again, but did not find anything special about it.
If it had not been placed in Qi Chongmao's storage bag, Chu Ning would not have noticed such an ordinary bamboo plate at all.
He tried to stimulate it with spiritual power, but it did not work.
After careful research, he did not find anything, so Chu Ning simply stopped researching and put it back into the storage bag.
Chu Ning pondered slightly at this time. Seeing that Qi Chongmao had so many secrets, he was obviously not an ordinary cultivator.
I just don't know if he has any connection with any big shot in the sect.
If that's the case, it might be troublesome to track it down.
After all, the two are neighbors. Even if they cover up well, someone might be suspicious.
However, Chu Ning had no regrets, because if he didn't do it today, he would be the one who turned into ashes.
After carefully reviewing today's battle, Chu Ning found that he had consumed a lot, but he also gained a lot.
He used 6 talismans, but took back two talismans and two bottles of elixirs. The most important thing was that he got the secret method of refining the spirit.
Chu Ning didn't rush to practice immediately, but started to sit cross-legged to restore his mana, after all, he consumed a lot of mana today.
The most important thing was his Tiangang Fist, which consumed more than 30% of his mana.
After running Qingmu Changchun Gong for several weeks, Chu Ning's mana was fully restored. Seeing that it was still midnight, he simply went back to his room to sleep and rest.
After all, in the past ten days, Chu Ning had been guarding the Seven Star Spirit Fruit every day with fear, but he had never really rested well.
This sleep, Chu Ning slept particularly relaxed and sweetly, and got up at noon the next day.
After leaving the yard, Chu Ning deliberately stopped outside the door for a while.
He did not find anything unusual, nor did he see anyone coming to find Qi Chongmao, which made him feel a little relieved.
At least, no one noticed what happened last night for the time being.
It has been more than ten days since he went to his spiritual field, so Chu Ning immediately went to the two spiritual fields.
As soon as he arrived at the medium-sized spiritual field where the purple water lily was planted, Chu Ning's face looked a little ugly.
After ten days, the purple water lily not only did not grow much, but many of them were a little withered and yellow, which obviously seemed to have problems.
When he walked into the spiritual field again, Chu Ning immediately found the reason.
It was that these purple water lilies had traces of being eaten by aphids.
This aphid is a common pest in the spiritual field, especially likes grass and cereal spiritual plants, and reproduces very quickly.
Seeing this, Chu Ning was relieved. As long as the cause is found, it will be easy to deal with.
Although these purple water lilies are a little withered and yellow, they are not dead after all, and can be dealt with.
He cast the removal spells one by one, first removing all the aphid eggs in this area.
Then he used the sweet rain spell, and the pest crisis on the purple water chestnut grass was temporarily resolved.
In order for it to continue to grow well, it needs the assistance of the Qingmu Chunhua spell, which is what Chu Ning is good at.
But Chu Ning didn't have the heart to use the Qingmu Chunhua spell at this time.
After dealing with the places where the aphids had eaten in several acres of spiritual fields, he hurried to his 5 acres of high-quality spiritual fields in the Ding area.
This black spiritual bamboo is the spiritual plant that can bring him more income.
What made Chu Ning relieved was that the black spiritual bamboo was normal.
Although Chu Ning didn't come to perform the Qingmu Chunhua spell during this period, the growth was a little slower, but there was no abnormal pest.
So, Chu Ning stayed in the two spiritual fields almost all day.
First perform the Qingmu Chunhua spell, then restore mana, and then continue to perform the Qingmu Chunhua spell.
After all the spiritual plants in the two fields were used, he slowly returned to his own yard.
The yard of Qi Chongmao next door was still closed, and there was no sign of anyone coming.
But after thinking about it, Chu Ning felt it was normal. He had not left the yard for ten days before, and no one noticed.
From this point of view, the errand disciples in Qingxi Sect are still relatively free.
Under normal circumstances, except for Zhuang Yunde, the errand disciple, who occasionally comes to see.
At other times, the sect rarely cares about them.
As for deacons like He Changyou, they only come before the harvest or after sowing each season.
Chu Ning did not stay outside the yard for too long, just pretending to glance casually, and then walked back to his own yard.
He lit a fire and cooked spiritual rice, paired with two dishes, and had a delicious dinner. After resting for a while, Chu Ning came to the front yard to prepare to start today's practice.
He had been practicing in the backyard for some time, but after all, someone had just been killed there last night, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Because he was not sure how long it would take to practice the Soul Refining Technique, Chu Ning was not in a hurry to practice this secret technique.
Instead, he followed the usual practice and first practiced the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Technique.
The first volume of the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Technique contains five realms of practice. Chu Ning was currently practicing the second realm, the Unblighted Bones.
As the spiritual power circulated and various body-refining postures were performed, Chu Ning suddenly felt a warm current surge through his limbs.
Although he was a little surprised, Chu Ning did not think much about it. After breaking through to the Undying Bone Realm, this was the first time he practiced the Nine-evolution Body Refining Technique.
He just thought that this was a normal reaction to practicing the Undying Bone.
After practicing the Nine-evolution Body Refining Technique twice in a row, Chu Ning finished the exercise with a refreshed mind. When he looked at the proficiency in his mind, he was slightly stunned.
[Qingmu Changchun Gong (Yellow Rank Lower Grade), Second Level (244/900)]
[Nine-evolution Body Refining Technique, Volume 1, Undying Bone 2/600]
"This progress in body refining..."
He has only practiced the Nine-evolution Body Refining Technique twice, but the proficiency of the Undying Bone has reached 2.
This speed is even faster than when he practiced the Immortal Skin.
Chu Ning looked at the proficiency with some confusion, and then carefully recalled the feeling when he practiced just now.
That feeling vaguely resembled the feeling of refining the body after taking the Seven Star Spiritual Fruit a few days ago.
Chu Ning thought of such a possibility.
"Could it be that after the Seven Star Spiritual Fruit helped me break through the Immortal Skin, I haven't digested the spiritual effect in it, so it is still continuing to work?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. After all, the Seven Star Spiritual Fruit is for cultivators in the late stage of body refining.
He only took it when he was refining the first level, so the effect is naturally different.
Chu Ning showed a smile on his face, and muttered in his heart:
"It seems that I have to practice the Nine Evolution Body Refining Art more in the next few days to absorb all the medicinal effects of the Seven Star Spiritual Fruit and don't waste it."
However, at this time, Chu Ning still did not continue to practice. He was also very interested in the Soul Refining Technique and wanted to try it.
Chu Ning picked up the jade slip of the Soul Refining Technique again.
After reading all the contents again, he slowly closed his eyes and began to practice according to the method in it.
