Chapter 529: Chapter 241: New Spirit Body, Powerful Divine Power Secret Technique
However, this made Chu Ning even more satisfied. He had originally intended to test the defense of the Undying Golden Body.
Ling Xiaobai, after hearing Chu Ning’s surprised sound, couldn’t help but show a look of pride in his small eyes.
But the next moment, the little fellow let out a sound of "yinng".
Ling Xiaobai initially thought that Chu Ning was going to try some new spell or magical artifact.
But at this moment, the spell he had cast was about to hit Chu Ning.
Yet Chu Ning still stood there motionless, which made him a little anxious as he cried out.
However, in the next moment, Ling Xiaobai’s eyes widened directly.
He saw that the ice-cold spell, obviously not weak in power, fell on Chu Ning, yet it simply dissipated.
Throughout the whole process, there wasn’t even a ripple of magical power on Chu Ning.
"Yinng!"
Ling Xiaobai let out a cry and the next moment, communicated telepathically with Chu Ning.
"Master, what divine technique did you just perform?"
"I didn’t perform any divine technique," Chu Ning smiled slightly.
"I simply used my body, after body refinement, to take it head-on."
Hearing this, Ling Xiaobai’s small eyes widened again, before showing a hint of dejection.
This made Chu Ning quite curious.
"Xiaobai, why are you dejected?"
"I thought I was about to promote to a Fourth Level Demon Beast and that my cultivation had become stronger."
Ling Xiaobai’s telepathic voice echoed again in Chu Ning’s mind.
"But now it seems the spells are not that strong."
After hearing this, Chu Ning chuckled, picked up the small creature, and ruffled its head.
"It’s not that your spell isn’t strong enough; it’s that I’ve had a breakthrough in body refinement.
Your spell’s power could already compare to that of a regular Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator."
Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, a look of joy flashed through Ling Xiaobai’s small eyes.
At this moment, Chu Ning also curiously asked Ling Xiaobai:
"Little guy, are you about to promote to the Fourth Level?"
"Yinng!!" Ling Xiaobai nodded proudly at this moment.
"Next, I need to sleep for a period of time, but I cannot be put into the Spirit Beast Bag."
"Alright!" Chu Ning also smiled.
This little fellow really promotes quickly.
Typically, a demon beast’s cultivation promotion time would be much slower than a cultivator’s.
But Ling Xiaobai, even compared to himself, a cultivator with such an advantage, was not much slower.
One must say, this talent is truly remarkable.
Using Ling Xiaobai to test the physical strength was helpful; trying the Undying Golden Body Shield would be impossible though, as he couldn’t exactly go find a Golden Core Cultivator to spar with now.
After checking his cultivation proficiency again, Chu Ning pondered slightly.
The first volume of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique had already been perfected; it seemed that it was indeed time to search for the second volume of the cultivation technique.
As Chu Ning was thinking this, he sensed something and flashed to the outside of the cave mansion.
"Master Chu!"
At this moment, Wang Ping was standing outside the cave mansion, and upon seeing Chu Ning come out, clasped his hands in salute.
Seeing this, Chu Ning said somewhat helplessly:
"Wang Ping, I’ve told you a few times, since you’ve already successfully established your foundation, we can address each other as fellow brothers."
Wang Ping scratched his head awkwardly at this.
"I am used to calling you that, and can’t change it in such a short time. Besides, everyone says you’ll form a core sooner or later, so there’s no problem calling you this."
Hearing this, Chu Ning looked at Wang Ping with a smile.
Oh boy, this simpleton is starting to show a little cleverness, even going so far as to flatter actively.
Yet Chu Ning knew Wang Ping quite well and realized this was probably what he sincerely thought.
Indeed, Wang Ping was grateful and humbled himself.
After all, two and a half years ago, Wang Ping failed to establish his foundation despite taking the Foundation Establishment Pill Chu Ning gave him, and it was after Chu Ning provided another pill that Wang Ping succeeded at one stroke.
Even though Wang Ping had been a Foundation Establishment Cultivator for two years, he still regarded himself as the junior to Chu Ning, even doing some errands proactively.
However, Chu Ning didn’t really have many tasks, so it didn’t delay Wang Ping’s cultivation.
Occasionally, when Wang Ping was practicing alchemy, Chu Ning could even offer some guidance.
Seeing Wang Ping’s reluctance to change his form of address, Chu Ning didn’t push, instead asking why he had come to see him.
Wang Ping then stated his purpose.
"Yes, a message from the Task Hall said that the artifact refining materials you asked for from the last task have been found by a disciple.
Do you want me to pick them up for you?"
"Artifact refining materials?" Chu Ning then remembered that he did indeed publish a request for two types of artifact refining materials last time.
This was mainly because, after killing a Red Flame Beast in Wolong Valley, the materials from this Tier Five Demon Beast were quite suitable for refining a magical artifact.
However, there were two materials that Jiuhua Sect didn’t possess, so Chu Ning published a task.
As Chu Ning was about to ask Wang Ping to help fetch them, he felt a sensation, reached out, and caught a Sound Transmission Talisman that landed in his hand.
Upon taking a look at the Sound Transmission Talisman, Chu Ning was surprised to find that it was from Fu Lihong.
She requested him to go to Bright Moon Peak for a discussion; the details weren’t clear in the Sound Transmission Talisman.
Thinking he had to pass by Jiuhua Peak to go to Bright Moon Peak, Chu Ning told Wang Ping:
"I’ll go myself, you go about your business."
After Wang Ping left, Chu Ning flew towards Jiuhua Peak and then Bright Moon Peak.
Jiuhua Peak was bustling, with many cultivators coming and going outside the Task Hall.
