Chapter 944 - 393: Fusion Once Again_2

"I know." Cen Zijin smiled at this moment and took the initiative to reach out and hold Chu Ning’s hand.

"Moreover, you gave me Snow Crystal Mushroom Spiritual Liquid and various elixirs, so I’ll just stay on Celestial Mist Peak wholeheartedly for cultivation next."

"It’s best if you think like this, otherwise I’d have to find a dual cultivation method to see if we can cultivate faster together." Chu Ning said with a cheerful smile.

Cen Zijin immediately gave Chu Ning a disapproving look.

"Just saying a few words, and already no proper form."

Chu Ning’s expression immediately turned serious, deep in thought.

Seeing Chu Ning’s expression, Cen Zijin couldn’t help but curiously ask:

"What’s the matter?"

Chu Ning whispered, "I’m really going to try dual cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Cen Zijin’s face immediately turned red, she bit her lip gently and lowered her head.

Seeing Cen Zijin’s expression, Chu Ning realized she misunderstood and quickly said:

"I’m not talking about male-female dual cultivation, but cultivating two types of techniques myself."

Cen Zijin lifted her head, her bright eyes looking at Chu Ning with some confusion.

Chu Ning then told Cen Zijin about how he unexpectedly discovered that Qi Refining and Body Refining Techniques could be cultivated simultaneously after consuming Myriad Laws Fruit Spirit Fruit.

"You actually consumed three Myriad Laws Fruit Spirit Fruits?"

Upon hearing this, Cen Zijin couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.

Chu Ning nodded his head, then murmured:

"In the Cloud Peak Forbidden Land, two techniques can be cultivated simultaneously, but now without that supporting energy, I wonder if it can still be done."

Thinking of this, Chu Ning suddenly felt a little restless.

"Zijin, I’ll try first, then go to the Artifact Refining Pavilion later."

"Okay, I’m not in a hurry." Cen Zijin nodded.

Chu Ning was just preparing for cultivation, but at that moment, a voice echoed outside the cave mansion.

"Is Junior Brother Chu here?"

Hearing this, Chu Ning immediately got up and walked out of the cave mansion.

"Senior Brother Ge is here, please come in."

The visitor was Ge Liuyang.

While entering the cave mansion with Chu Ning, he said with a smile:

"Earlier the Sect Leader mentioned Elder Cen crafting magical treasures, I figured you just returned, you might have a lot on your plate.

Since we regularly have to bring you materials for refining the Jiuhua Starship, I thought I’d ask if you need anything first."

Hearing this, Chu Ning immediately said, "Then I am grateful to Senior Brother Ge."

"Actually, there’s another matter for my visit today." Ge Liuyang immediately turned serious.

"It’s regarding the Black Profound Gold."

Chu Ning asked with a smile when Ge Liuyang brought up Black Profound Gold, "Does Senior Brother want some for crafting magical treasures?"

Ge Liuyang shook his head at this moment.

"Earlier, Master Tang mentioned you exchanged Black Profound Gold with that Nascent Soul Cultivator from Guiyuan Sect. I wonder if you’ve disclosed the quantity."

Chu Ning explained briefly about the transaction with Lu Yuezhang.

After hearing this, Ge Liuyang’s face showed a relieved expression.

"In that case, I am reassured.

I came to inform you that your possession of Black Profound Gold has not been disclosed to anyone, including fellow sect members.

Black Profound Gold is an ancient artifact refining material, and now with its demon-slaying effect.

Please keep it a secret, if other sects find out you have Black Profound Gold, troubles will arise."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother." As Chu Ning spoke, he then reached into his storage bag and took out a piece of Black Profound Gold to hand over.

"Senior Brother, although I’ve used quite a bit of this Black Profound Gold over the years, I still have some left; take this for your use."

Ge Liuyang shook his head again.

"Let alone giving me this Black Profound Gold, with my current cultivation, I cannot refine it.

Even if I could refine it, I wouldn’t take it from you."

Amidst Chu Ning and Cen Zijin’s confusion, Ge Liuyang smiled and shook his head saying:

"You said to outsiders this Black Profound Gold is almost gone. If you give it to me, and then to other sect elders.

Eventually, multiple cultivators from the sect will have Black Profound Gold in their magical treasures, outsiders will naturally know you’ve concealed something.

Not to mention those who covet your Black Profound Gold, even the two from Guiyuan Sect might have an opinion."

Upon hearing Ge Liuyang, Chu Ning paused for a moment of silence.

Indeed, this was something he hadn’t considered before; the Jiuhua Sect cultivators treated him well.

Thinking of distributing his considerable stock of Black Profound Gold to any sect members in need.

Seeing Chu Ning’s expression, Ge Liuyang knew he understood the stakes involved.

He continued:

"I came today to inform you.

Besides Elder Cen, you shouldn’t refine magical treasures for anyone with this Black Profound Gold, at least not in the short term, including the Sect Leader.

I have told you earlier, currently, only I know of this, so you can rest assured."

Chu Ning nodded his head and then cupped his hands toward Ge Liuyang:

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

"Alright, that’s the end of this matter." Ge Liuyang waved his hand.

"Let’s talk about the materials Elder Cen needs for crafting your Lifebound Magical Treasure."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning immediately informed Ge Liuyang of the artifact refining materials recorded after the Profound Water Divine Technique.

Ge Liuyang said a few items needed to be collected, then left with the list.

Not until Ge Liuyang’s figure disappeared did Cen Zijin slowly speak:

"I finally understand why you were determined to bring us to the Jiuhua Sect; actions like Senior Brother Ge’s are rare in other sects."

Chu Ning knew she was referring to Ge Liuyang not taking the Black Profound Gold.

He immediately nodded with emotion, "Yes, the Jiuhua Sect certainly has some infighting, whether for positions or resources, there’s competition.

But if you can contribute to this sect and help it rise and grow, the entire sect will uphold you.

Moreover, tirelessly, this is almost ingrained."

Cen Zijin nodded.

Staying long in the Jiuhua Sect indeed lets one be influenced by the sect’s atmosphere.

"Zijin, once they gather the materials for crafting the magical treasure, I’ll refine it for you.

Now, I’ll first enter secluded cultivation for a few days to study the Five Elements Chaos Technique and Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

When Senior Brother Ge sends word, let me know."

After informing Cen Zijin, Chu Ning entered the cultivation room.

He first cultivated the Refining Spirit Technique, slightly adjusting his state.

Chu Ning’s gaze flashed as he began attempting to cultivate the Five Elements Chaos Technique.

This technique’s cultivation wasn’t much different from before.

As the technique circulated, waves of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered within his body.

At the same time, the Dual Spirit Seeds within him began refinement, yet Chu Ning did not feel a noticeable acceleration.

The overall cultivation speed was not significantly different from before.

Chu Ning then began to circulate the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

Magical Power was circulating the Five Elements Chaos Technique; however, when Chu Ning changed his focus.

A peculiar energy suddenly rose within him, supporting the operation of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

Simultaneously, Chu Ning could clearly feel the Power of Origin on the Power of Origin Water Drops also began refinement.

"I can still simultaneously cultivate two techniques!"

Chu Ning’s heart couldn’t help but rejoice.

The other peculiar energy within his body was precisely refined and precipitated from the energy in the Cloud Peak Forbidden Land after consuming Myriad Laws Fruit Spirit Fruit and absorbing the energy between Heaven and Earth.

He could clearly feel, that this peculiar energy prompted the Power of Origin Water Drops, which couldn’t be refined outside.

At this moment, waves of Power of Origin appeared, supporting the operation of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.

Then, along with Spiritual Qi, it was refined and fused again.

This discovery undoubtedly left Chu Ning both shocked and delighted.

This means, even without the Myriad Laws Fruit Spirit Fruit or being in Cloud Peak Forbidden Land, he can still achieve the cultivation effect of the Valley of the Myriad Laws Tree through the fusion of Spiritual Qi and Power of Origin.

However, after Chu Ning tried cultivating for a while, he couldn’t help but pause.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze thoughtful.
