Chapter 901: In Demand — Chu Ning (Part 3)

Chapter 901: Chapter 372: In Demand — Chu Ning (Part 3)

Chu Ning nodded, Lu Jiakang was the Chief Steward of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, he had dealt with him frequently before.

Back when the Daluo Sect visited, Lu Jiakang, who was in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, teamed up with Chu Ning for the contest.

Upon hearing He Feng mention it, Chu Ning vaguely guessed something.

He Feng continued:

“Lu Jiakang reached the Fake Pill Realm ten years ago, but he had suffered serious injuries previously, although the sect’s numerous medicines have healed the injuries.

However, the strength of his body cannot be improved or strengthened, the sect has tried many methods, but perhaps due to the initial injuries, none of them worked.

So he hasn’t dared to attempt Core Formation.”

He Feng’s gaze fell on the crystal stone in Chu Ning’s hand.

“If this item can strengthen the body, perhaps Nephew Lu truly has a chance.”

After hearing this, Chu Ning immediately said:

“In that case, I’ll go to the Artifact Refining Pavilion later and let him give it a try.”

Everyone naturally nodded.

He Feng also smiled and said:

“If this really proves effective, Lu Jiakang could indeed attempt Core Formation.

Since Elder Chu reached Core Formation, in the past sixty years, the sect hasn’t had another person reach Core Formation.

There is hope to add another Golden Core Cultivator.”

“Elder He, you’ve said it wrong, it’s not just one,” Fu Lihong spoke up with a smile at this time.

She then glanced at Cen Zijin, Cheng Qinghui, and Ge Yu.

“With Elder Chu’s return, and the joining of these three fellow Daoists, we’re suddenly adding four Golden Core Cultivators.”

Cheng Qinghui smiled without replying, but at this time, Fu Lihong said with a smile:

“Fellow Daoist Cheng, don’t blame me for speaking too grandly, as long as you spend some time in our Jiuhua Sect, I believe you’ll come to like it here.

On this matter, Elder Chu can testify.”

Chu Ning smiled and nodded.

“This is indeed true, when I first came, I didn’t have a strong sense of belonging.

But after staying for a while, I settled here for cultivation.”

Cheng Qinghui at this moment sighed and said:

“Actually, from the actions and the atmosphere of interactions among you all, Mr. Cheng already greatly appreciates it.

However, this matter is of major importance, so I ask you all to give us some time to adapt.

Alright, all of you please come inside, and don’t just stand here.”

Immediately, the group went into the hall of Purple Mist Peak.

Cen Zijin, after looking at the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Yaochi Palace, returned to the hall.

Having witnessed Chu Ning’s array mastery before, she seized a gap and proactively spoke:

“Elder Sister, how should the array be set up on this peak, perhaps we should discuss further.

We can let Chu Ning start the work.”

“Alright!” Cheng Qinghui said, then turned to Chu Ning:

“Elder Chu, all of us are currently mainly cultivating the cultivation techniques and spells of Yaochi Palace, focusing mainly on water, ice, and wood attribute techniques.

Within Jiuhua Sect, there’s naturally no worry of cultivators attacking.

So the array should focus mainly on aiding cultivation with some isolation effects.

Since these are all female cultivators, sometimes it’s still inconvenient.”

Cen Zijin heard this and also explained to Chu Ning:

“Previously, the array I set up at Chaotic Beast Mountain had good isolation effects, mainly to prevent pursuit from the Purple Moon Sect.

But it lacked in gathering Spiritual Qi to aid cultivation.

Do you have any suggestions?”

“I do have an array that incorporates the effects of gathering spirit with both water and ice attributes.”

Chu Ning responded, saying:

“If there are cultivators practicing Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques, I will set up a separate area and try to gather stronger Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi.”

Upon finishing, Chu Ning made a round of Purple Mist Peak and started working on the array.

As the saying goes, once a professional takes action, it becomes evident.

Among the Golden Core Cultivators present, Cen Zijin and He Feng were proficient in the Path of Array, while the others, although not specialists, as Golden Core Cultivators, understood some things.

Seeing Chu Ning take out array tools effortlessly, and using Pill Fire to forge various dharma banner tools with skill and familiarity, was naturally extremely surprising.

At this moment, He Feng’s eyes were somewhat bright.

Even before Chu Ning finished the array, He Feng had already spoken:

“Elder Chu, once you’re done setting up, please come to the Array Pavilion for a discussion, the sect has long intended to strengthen several arrays with legacy formations.

However, Mr. He is ashamed, not only have some areas not been comprehended, but several array formation tools have failed to be forged.

Now, you really have to help.”

Hearing this from He Feng, Chu Ning also responded with a smile:

“Alright, after completing the Purple Mist Sect’s array, I will go to the Array Pavilion and take a look.

But Elder He, if you couldn’t understand it, perhaps Mr. Chu going may not be useful, don’t hold too high a hope.”

He Feng, upon hearing this, was naturally delighted, and after Qi Guangshou had left, he remained at this Purple Mist Peak.

To cover the entire mountain with an array, and with so many requirements, even Chu Ning couldn’t complete it instantly.

For several days in a row, Chu Ning stayed at this Purple Mist Peak.

However, there were some arrangements where Cen Zijin and He Feng could assist.

With three major Golden Core Cultivators taking action, the array was largely set up within a few days.

As Chu Ning and the others were experiencing the marvels of the array, from afar, a flaming red escape light had already flown over.

It was Elder Ge Liuyang from the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

“Junior Brother Chu, you really made me search, I’ve been to your cave mansion for several days without seeing you.

Only later did I know you’ve been at Purple Mist Peak these days.”

“Elder Ge, you’re looking for me?”

Chu Ning asked with a smile.

“I was just planning to visit the Artifact Refining Pavilion.”

“Then let’s go now.” Ge Liuyang immediately pulled Chu Ning by the arm to leave.

“Our Artifact Refining Pavilion is planning to forge a sect magical treasure, I was previously hesitant, afraid I couldn’t complete it alone.

Luckily you’re back, with the two of us working together, we can definitely forge it well.”

“Wait a moment!” He Feng immediately blocked the front.

“Elder Ge, at least follow the order of first come, first served, I’ve been waiting for Elder Chu here for days, inviting him to the Array Pavilion.

You just said to take him away upon meeting.”

“Why are you inviting him to the Array Pavilion?” Ge Liuyang looked puzzled.

“He’s proficient in alchemy and artifact refining; array formation isn’t his specialty.”

He Feng couldn’t help but laugh at this.

“You’re talking about outdated news, Elder Chu’s mastery in arrays exceeds mine.”

Ge Liuyang hesitated a moment.

“Is it true what you’re saying?”

He Feng nodded, “Of course, I witnessed his array setup these days firsthand.”

At this moment, Ge Liuyang looked at Chu Ning and, after some appraisal, was deeply moved.

“Just tell me, is there anything you don’t know, initially you were the Alchemy Pavilion Steward.

Later, you showed outstanding talent in artifact refining, now as a Golden Core Cultivator, you’re even proficient in arrays.”
