Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 563 - 251: Ancient Artifact Refining Material—Black Profound Gold (3)

Chu Ning’s eyes flickered slightly. Just from this introduction, he knew that this definitely wasn’t an ordinary item.

At this moment, Ge Liuyang continued:

"These artifact refining materials are said to be born along with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, one of the preferred materials used by Ancient Cultivators for refining Magical Treasures.

Its greatest advantage is that the material itself can carry any attribute. Even without refining, it can enhance the power of spells by at least fifty percent when used directly.

If it’s mixed with other materials to refine a Magical Treasure and combined with spellcasting, it often doubles the power!"

Upon hearing Ge Liuyang’s words, Chu Ning’s gaze immediately fell on the long Black Chain.

At this moment, Ge Liuyang continued:

"But according to the sect’s chronicles, because this item is non-renewable, it became very rare towards the end of ancient times.

By the peak of our sect, even the Nascent Soul Seniors in the sect had never come across such a treasure.

Ancestors of the sect only found an introduction and refining method for this item in an ancient artifact refining scripture."

Saying this, Ge Liuyang looked quite emotional and said:

"It’s really unknown who crafted it into such a form, and there wasn’t much refining, no arrays engraved on it.

It really seems as if it was casually made into an iron chain..."

Chu Ning, however, did not listen to Ge Liuyang’s emotions at the moment, but his eyes lit up, and he quickly asked:

"Does the sect’s heritage contain the refining method for this item? Can you refine it, Martial Uncle?"

"There indeed is!" Ge Liuyang nodded first, then shook his head and said:

"But that refining method is extremely profound, requiring very high cultivation and Pill Fire skills from an artifact refiner.

I’m ashamed to say, I’m afraid I can’t refine even an ounce of it.

As for refining the entire Black Chain, I’m afraid even a Nascent Soul Cultivator wouldn’t be able to do it."

Hearing that even Ge Liuyang, the most skilled in the sect, said he couldn’t refine the material, Chu Ning was indeed a bit surprised.

Ge Liuyang, being a Middle Stage of Golden Core Cultivator, was not the highest in cultivation within the sect.

But in the art of artifact refining, he was the most outstanding person.

Even he couldn’t refine it, then certainly Chu Ning couldn’t either.

"However, not being able to refine it now doesn’t mean it’s impossible in the future."

Chu Ning had a flash of thought and then smiled and said:

"Since that’s the case, I’ll just set it aside for now. If it doesn’t work out, I can use it directly in future battles."

"Absolutely not!"

Hearing this, Ge Liuyang immediately shook his head and said.

"The Protector from the Profound Yin Sect either recently acquired this item, or no one in the sect thoroughly understands this material.

However, there are quite a few sects on the Western Alliance Continent with deep studies in artifact refining. If they see such a large piece of Black Profound Gold.

I’m afraid even a Nascent Soul Cultivator wouldn’t resist taking action against you."

Chu Ning, hearing these words, also smiled and said:

"Rest assured, Martial Uncle, I was just kidding. Since this item is so precious, I’ll store it away for now."

Ge Liuyang nodded and then handed the Black Chain back to Chu Ning.

He continued:

"Nephew Chu, you must keep this item safely and don’t reveal it lightly.

As for the introduction of Black Profound Gold and the related refining method, I’ll have our sect’s cultivators bring them to you for understanding once I return."

Hearing this, Chu Ning immediately cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you, Martial Uncle."

After speaking, Chu Ning carefully put away the Black Chain.

Then, he picked up the pair of Demon Beast Eggs in his hand.

"Martial Uncle, with your vast knowledge, could you identify what kind of Demon Beast these belong to?"

Ge Liuyang took them, showing a bit of surprise, and said:

"Huh, these Demon Beast Eggs have a somewhat weak life aura, but they seem to belong to a high level.

But I’m not well-versed in the ways of Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts, so I also can’t identify which Demon Beast these are."

Saying this, Ge Liuyang handed the two Demon Beast Eggs back to Chu Ning.

"However, you can ask Junior Brother Qi; he has in-depth research on Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts.

A few years ago, that Green Demon Snake you captured, I handed it over to him."

"Elder Qi?"

After hearing this, Chu Ning nodded. Among the nine Grand Elders of the Jiuhua Sect, Qi Guangshou, who is at the Early Stage of Golden Core, is relatively low-key.

Chu Ning hasn’t interacted much with him, but he knows the other party is in charge of Spirit Beast Peak.

However, Jiuhua Sect’s Spirit Beast Peak is not large, and it has few disciples, with a status in the sect far inferior to the alchemy and artifact refining branches.

While Chu Ning was pondering over this, Ge Liuyang spoke:

"Shall I call him over?"

"No need, no need, I’ll visit Elder Qi instead." Chu Ning quickly said.

Although he has made some contributions to the sect, he hasn’t reached the point of behaving so arrogantly.

"That’s fine as well. Junior Brother Qi may be cold, but he has a warm heart. Just ask him directly if you need help."

Ge Liuyang nodded, and then he asked Chu Ning some more specific details about his journey before leaving.

Chu Ning decided to leave Spirit Rock Peak and head to Spirit Beast Peak.

Qi Guangshou, dressed in black robes, was a bit surprised by Chu Ning’s arrival and coldly said:

"Nephew Chu, what brings you to my Spirit Beast Peak?"

Chu Ning, already knowing Qi Guangshou’s personality, didn’t mind. He took the two Demon Beast Eggs from his Storage Bag.

He asked Qi Guangshou:

"Martial Uncle Qi, I inadvertently obtained these two Demon Beast Eggs from a cultivator of the Demon Spirit Sect and couldn’t identify them.

I would like to ask for your help in examining them."

Qi Guangshou’s gaze fell on the two Demon Beast Eggs in Chu Ning’s hand, and a hint of astonishment flashed across his cold face.

"Golden Thunder Eagle! You actually obtained eggs of this kind of Demon Beast?"

"Golden Thunder Eagle!"

Chu Ning echoed the name of the Demon Beast, somewhat surprised, and said:

"Is it the one known for its incredible speed and ability to unleash Thunder Attribute attacks?"

Qi Guangshou nodded, his voice still cold, but with a slight fluctuation in his tone.

"Unleashing Thunder Attribute attacks is just the inherent skill of the Golden Thunder Eagle.

What truly makes this eagle powerful is that if it can be nurtured to the strength of a Tier Five Demon Beast, comparable to the Early Stage of Golden Core.

Then this Demon Beast could not only unleash attacks that sound like golden thunder targeting Divine Sense but also devour souls and ghosts, having incredible divine techniques."

At this point, Qi Guangshou shook his head and said:

"However, these two eagle eggs have extremely weak auras, with nearly extinguished vitality, and are likely unable to hatch and be nurtured."
