Immortality: My talent for cultivating immortals can be refreshed.

Chapter 624 The storm is coming
Once again, he returned from the ice cave to the secret room on the fifth floor of the treasure pavilion.

This time, Chu Ning was much more calm than he was decades ago.

"Bai Ling, take out all those ice crystal leaves and see how many there are."

Bai Ling has now transformed into a human form. With a wave of her hand, a pile of ice crystal leaves appeared in front of the two.

Chu Ning glanced over with his spiritual sense and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Nine hundred pieces, not bad! This is much more than what we collected in Changkong Palace before."

Chu Ning could roughly guess that the previous Lord of Changkong Palace who practiced ice-attributed skills probably also collected them in a similar way.

"It's a pity that I don't have enough energy, otherwise I could stimulate the giant tree to attack again."

Chu Ning smiled and put all the ice crystal leaves into his storage bag.

The energy in his body mainly relies on practicing two methods at the same time.

Then, the driving force is achieved with the help of the third volume of the Jiuyan Body Refining Art.

This method does allow Chu Ning to use his Yuan power during a fight, but its shortcomings are also obvious. It cannot make the Yuan power as endless as magic power.

Just now he had driven the Destruction Hammer and the Xuanxiao Mirror continuously, especially the Xuanxiao Mirror, which required too much energy.

Now that there is very little energy left in his body, he naturally dares not fight any longer.

However, getting nine hundred ice crystal leaves and the roots of two giant ice crystal trees was a considerable gain for Chu Ning.

Of course, another bigger gain is that he has basically tested out the power of the Xuanxiao Mirror.

The giant ice crystal tree should be an existence comparable to the demigod realm in this world, but the Xuanxiao Mirror can still cause enough damage to it.

This means that even if facing a demigod, Chu Ning has means in his hands that will make the opponent extremely fearful.

This made Chu Ning feel relieved.

Ever since coming into contact with the demigod realm of this world, Chu Ning has always had a sense of crisis.

Because he knew very well that once a cultivator of this level attacked him, he would not have much ability to resist.

Now at least we have the power to protect ourselves.

After putting away the ice crystal leaves, Chu Ning took out two large jade boxes, put the two tree roots he had just cut off into them, and affixed sealing talismans on them.

An extra layer of seal was added on top of it.

Chu Ning had tried to destroy the energy mark left on the roots of the giant ice crystal tree before, and it was not particularly complicated.

However, Chu Ning didn't have time to deal with it at the moment.

For Chu Ning, the highlight is the cold light of ice crystal entering his body.

It was not the first time that Chu Ning was hit by the cold light condensed by the ice crystal leaves, so he was not too frightened at this moment.

But to be on the safe side, it is natural to deal with it first.

Chu Ning had clearly felt before that the cold light of these ice crystals did not have such a strong destructive power on him.

I think it would be easier to remove and refine it.

After all, after entering the late Nascent Soul stage, his strength has been significantly improved.

After returning to the cave, Chu Ning continued to use the Purple Sun Spirit Flame to wrap and seal the ice crystals in his body.

Then, he began to practice the second level of Chaos Immortal Art and the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Art.

After replenishing the energy in his body that had been wasted by 80 to 90 percent, he began to replenish the power of the Purple Sun Spirit Flame.

It was not until this time that Chu Ning actually began to deal with the cold light of the ice crystals in his body.

The Yuanli first destroys the power of the devil, and then refines it with the help of the Purple Sun Spirit Flame.

This time, Chu Ning only took half a month to refine all the ice crystals.

Not only was he not hurt at all, but he was also able to improve his training with the help of the pure energy from the ice crystal leaves.

"With the help of the Ice Crystal Leaves, the speed of cultivation can be nearly three times that of normal cultivation."

Chu Ning picked up a piece of ice crystal leaf with a look of surprise on his face.

You have to know that he is now in the late Nascent Soul stage, and coupled with the terrifying speed of practicing the Chaos Immortal Technique, the speed at which he absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is terrifying.

But now, with the help of ice crystal leaves, the speed can be reached about three times faster.

This is definitely a rare treasure.

“I now have nine hundred Ice Crystal Leaves, plus the original stock from the Changkong Palace, there are nearly a thousand leaves.

These ice crystal leaves no longer have any power, only pure energy. It takes about ten days to refine one leaf by yourself.

This way, it will be enough for me to practice for thirty to fifty years."

After muttering, Chu Ning casually took out the roots of the two giant ice crystal trees from his storage bag.

Following the previous method, begin to eliminate the energy aura above.

After three days, four tree roots were placed in front of Chu Ning.

"The roots and leaves of the Ice Crystal Giant Tree can condense energy, which means it is very likely that it can absorb spiritual energy and energy at the same time.

If I want to plant it myself, I have to set up a formation that can allow the Origin Stone to release its Origin Power."

Chu Ning is not short of Origin Stones now.

In the past twenty years or so in Snow Mist Valley, he had explored every cave deep in the valley.

This naturally includes the cave of original power.

A hundred years later, a large number of origin stones were born in this cave again.

Chu Ning even harvested another drop of original water there.

In fact, he was very curious about what was behind that vortex of origin. He didn't know what kind of mysterious place it was that could produce the power of origin so continuously.

However, Chu Ning still has an instinctive reverence for the power of origin.

He didn't dare to rush in when he didn't know what the situation was below.

After wandering around the Snow Peak Mountains behind the Changkong Palace, Chu Ning found a place where giant ice crystal trees were planted and arranged.

With the help of the spiritual plant cultivation techniques he had mastered before, Chu Ning tried to find a way to cultivate and grow them.

What made Chu Ning happy was that some of the spells that were used to gather spiritual energy to promote growth were also effective for the growth of the giant ice crystal tree.

In just over a month, a small sapling has grown.

However, this sapling was very short and had not yet grown the ice crystal leaves that Chu Ning was familiar with.

But only the trunk and branches.

The growth on the ground is very slow, but the roots grow quickly in the snow.

Chu Ning could clearly see with his spiritual sense that the roots of the giant ice crystal tree had grown about ten feet in the snow.

This is much better than the growth of the trunk and branches above the tree.

Knowing that this was probably the habit of the giant ice crystal tree, Chu Ning accepted it.

In the following time, Chu Ning practiced the second level of the Chaos Immortal Technique while comprehending and thinking about the subsequent exercises.

At the same time, the ice crystal tree is being cultivated.

After a year, the growth of the ice crystal tree returned to normal. In addition to the well-developed root system that continued to grow, small leaves also began to grow.

However, these leaves do not contain much spiritual energy and original power for the time being.

Chu Ning was not in a hurry.

After all, the giant ice crystal tree in the ice cave must have grown for tens of thousands of years to reach such a size.

Chu Ning didn't even think about having leaves as full of vitality as the ice crystal giant tree.

As long as it can be cultivated for daily practice, it will be enough.

Chu Ning looked at the ice crystal tree in front of him and cast a few spells to help it grow.

Then, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"I don't know when the Ice Crystal Tree will be able to truly help me cultivate. But the Purple Origin Fruit, the seeds of which I brought from Wuling Island, were cultivated from Beihan.

But in the end, he stayed in Jiuhua Sect and let Zijin take care of him."

As this thought flashed through his mind, Chu Ning looked up at the sky, a hint of longing in his eyes.

It has been nearly eighty years since I parted with Cen Zijin. Now I have officially begun to comprehend and practice the second level of the Chaos Immortal Art.

The situation in Changkong Palace is also very stable, and he does have plans to go back to Jiuhua Sect to take a look.

When this thought came to his mind, Chu Ning couldn't help but frown slightly.

The journey from Beihan to Ximeng Continent is not short, especially since it has to pass through the boundless sea, and his own ten thousand year old spiritual milk is not much.

It would be a pity if all of them were used up on the way like this.

“However, I am now practicing the Chaos Immortal Technique and have reached the late Nascent Soul stage, so the time I need to replenish my mana has been reduced.

We can get some treasures from the Changkong Palace to restore our mana, and we don’t necessarily have to use the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk.”

When this thought came to Chu Ning, he was suddenly moved.

There must be such treasures in the Changkong Palace.

If it really doesn't work, there's always no problem getting some treasures to refine a few batches of pills.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning prepared to go to the treasure house to take a look.

At this moment, a communication talisman fell into the restriction outside the cave.

Chu Ning waved over and took a quick look.

Then he walked out of the cave with a calm face and came to Tianchang Pavilion through the forbidden passage.

"Hall Master!"

Inside the Tianchang Pavilion, Lu Ziyou, Ren Heng and others stood in the pavilion.

Chu Ning glanced around and found that several Nascent Soul cultivators were all in the hall. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Ever since he became the hall master, the powers and responsibilities of several Nascent Soul cultivators have been clearly defined, and it is rare for several of them to come together like this.

"Everyone is gathered here, is there something important?"

Chu Ning sat down in the main seat in the hall and asked casually.

Ren Heng then replied:

"Palace Master, the Huanling Sect has been making various small moves in the past six months. After discussing it with a few of us, we feel that this matter still needs to be decided by the Palace Master himself."

"A small move by the Phantom Spirit Sect?"

Chu Ning was slightly surprised at this time.

"What little move?"

"We have learned that the Huanling Sect has recently been recruiting many independent cultivators to join the sect.

Some sects and forces in the waters surrounding the Haiyun Basin were also recruited by him.

The Huanling Sect seems to be in a hurry to expand its power, this move is really unusual."

After hearing what Ren Heng said, Chu Ning was also a little surprised.

Among the three land masses in Beihan, Haiyun Basin has the smallest area and is relatively weaker.

Although the Huanling Sect is the most powerful sect, it does not have as many top combat forces as the Changkong Palace.

Therefore, in most cases, the Huanling Sect did not try too hard to recruit some of the smaller sects and independent cultivators in the surrounding areas.

After all, even if we recruit them, they may not be able to provide enough resources.

"Is there any further news?"

After Chu Ning finished asking, Lu Ziyou took over and responded:
“According to the news from the monks stationed in the Haiyun Basin, Yu Taoxing seemed to have gone out a few years ago and returned half a year ago.

There is also news that other cultivators seemed to have returned to the sect with him.

He is most likely a cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage."

"Oh?"

Chu Ning was surprised.

As the largest force in Beihan, Changkong Palace actually has a certain degree of surveillance over all the major sects.

These extremely secretive spies are often able to obtain some of the sect's secrets, and the relatively calm Lu Ziyu is in charge of them.

Since Lu Zi has the information from the spy here, there can't be anything wrong with it.

Moreover, a cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage could be detected by the spies of Changkong Palace, which only meant one possibility.

These people actually didn't try too hard to hide their tracks.

"Where did the Huanling Sect get this late Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Hearing Chu Ning's question, Lu Ziyou and Ren Heng both shook their heads.

Lu Ziyou hesitated and said:
“There are only a few late Nascent Soul cultivators in Beihan, but the one who appeared definitely wouldn’t be the island master of Xuanfeng Island, otherwise the cultivators in the hall would have recognized him.”

“Just because there’s nothing in Beihan doesn’t mean there aren’t any in other places.” Chu Ning said calmly at this moment.

Lu Ziyou and others also said with a serious look:
“We also speculated that it might be cultivators from other continents who came to Beihan, but there have been almost no foreign cultivators in Beihan for thousands of years.

But I don’t know…”

"It should be from Tianmu Continent."

Chu Ning interrupted Lu Ziyu before he could finish speaking.

“In the past thousands of years, perhaps there really weren’t any foreign cultivators appearing in Beihan.

But you must not forget where fellow Taoists Fan, Fellow Daoist Lu, and Tan Tai Ze of the Huanling Sect met with the accident.

Also, how did I come to Beihan again? "

After Chu Ning said this, everyone else fell silent.

In fact, they had guessed it a long time ago, but due to Chu Ning's identity, they had been unable to say it out loud.

Chu Ning said calmly at this moment:
“What you may not know is that ten thousand years ago, a group of late Nascent Soul cultivators from Tianmu Continent came to Beihan.

There is an ancient teleportation array between the two continents.

Therefore, it is not surprising that cultivators from the Tianmu Continent would appear here.

Now the only thing we need to confirm is why these monks came.

Judging from the actions of the Huanling Sect in this short period of time, it seems that they are most likely coming for our Changkong Palace."

A cold light flashed in Chu Ning's eyes at this moment.

The cultivators from Tianmu Continent will appear here, and they will also mix with the cultivators from Huanling Sect.

Then it is possible that they are the cultivators from the Demonic Sect. After all, Fan Zexian, Lu Xuedao and Tan Tai Ze were able to travel to the Tianmu Continent with the help of the teleportation array.

Then Yu Taoxing can certainly do it.

The location that the teleportation array leads to is exactly the range of the Demonic Sect.

Even though several decades had passed, since the Demonic Lord had repaired the teleportation array, it was impossible for him not to keep it under surveillance.

The most likely scenario for Yu Taoxing to be teleported from Beihan is that he would come into contact with the Demonic Sect.

I think Yu Taoxing and Moshamen will suspect me of being responsible for the disappearance of Tan Tai Ze and Huang Kui.

This way, the probability of them coming for me is greater.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning's next words immediately made several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Changkong Palace present look horrified.

“If it is true that cultivators from the Tianmu Continent have arrived, perhaps those who have come are not just cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, but there may be cultivators in the Demigod realm.

The storm is coming, Beihan, I’m afraid it won’t calm down any more!”
