Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 166 - 118: Forbidden Breaking

As Elder Gui’s gaze swept over, a powerful pressure immediately fell upon Chu Ning.

Chu Ning was instantly terrified in his heart, the pressure brought by a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm was vastly different from that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

At this moment, Chu Ning felt as if a great mountain was pressing on him, making him somewhat out of breath.

In the Mud Ball Palace, even the Spiritual Sense Liquid gently trembled.

Then in an instant, near 10 out of hundreds of drops of Spiritual Sense Liquid had disappeared.

Daring not to hesitate any longer, Chu Ning quickly spoke up:

"Reporting to Elder, this disciple has been at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer for some time now, and in the past two days, I’ve vaguely felt the intention of a breakthrough.

I believe I can breakthrough soon without needing to take the Realm-Breaking Pill."

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Elder Gui’s gaze lingered for a moment, seemingly sensing the waves of magical power on Chu Ning’s body.

Then he spoke blandly:

"Half a day. If you cannot breakthrough, then take this Realm-Breaking Pill. The sect’s mission is urgent and cannot wait."

"Yes!" Chu Ning bowed his head in agreement.

At this moment, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Prior to this, Chu Ning undeniably still had a certain sense of belonging to the Cyan Creek Sect.

After all, he learned the Cultivation Immortality Technique from the sect.

The several stewards he encountered had differing characters, but they all looked after him to some extent.

Even when he noticed the infiltration by the Yin Demon Sect earlier, due to fear that reporting casually would alert the infiltrators, he hesitated to inform promptly, yet he kept it in mind.

And on the day he encountered Duan Yuewu, he breathed a sigh of relief upon knowing that the sect was already aware of the Yin Demon Sect’s infiltration.

But now, his sense of belonging diminished rapidly.

Chu Ning realized, as a Qi Refining Disciple, he was just a tool for completing tasks for the entire sect.

Even though he reached the Qi Refining Fifth Layer in such a short time, he was still forced to take the Realm-Breaking Pill.

Chu Ning let out a bitter sigh inside, his gaze inadvertently shifting to others.

Even with his cultivation level, he could see that several senior brothers had significant magical power at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

And they were not of great age; it was hopeful they could even break through to the Sixth Layer or higher in the future.

But now, under the gaze of this Golden Core Elder, they all consumed the elixir one after another.

As for what the elder said about this elixir being a specially made one that would only affect a year’s progression in cultivation, Chu Ning naturally didn’t believe a word of it.

While these thoughts passed through his mind, a chill settled in his heart.

However, Chu Ning showed no expression outwardly.

After getting up, he also moved to a relatively empty spot, and began meditating and cultivating.

This area was adequately spacious; even with over a hundred people cultivating, they wouldn’t interfere with each other.

Of course, he naturally did not consume the Realm-Breaking Pill, but placed it in a jade bottle, then put it into his storage bag.

For Chu Ning, "breaking through" to the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining was evidently a simple matter.

But to cover up, he took out a Gathering Essence Pill and swallowed it, then began cultivating the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique.

While Chu Ning was doing these things, Elder Gui’s divine sense swept over intermittently.

However, he didn’t say anything more.

Everyone was cultivating, and in the blink of an eye, several hours passed.

In between, some disciples originally stuck at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer broke through to the Sixth Layer with the help of the Realm-Breaking Pill.

And while cultivating, Chu Ning sensed Elder Gui’s divine sense sweeping over him several times, but it didn’t linger too long.

In this way, after a little more than half of the day passed, Chu Ning felt the time was about right.

The concealment aura of the Yin Wood Spirit Body was slightly released, and instantly, he was already at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining.

Moreover, it seemed in a somewhat unstable state as if he had just broken through.

The next moment, Chu Ning stood up with a face full of joy.

Elder Gui, who was sitting cross-legged at the front of the field, was the first to glance over. His gaze lingered on Chu Ning for a short while before moving away.

Seeing this scene, Chu Ning secretly let out a sigh of relief and marveled once more at the function of the Yin Wood Spirit Body’s aura concealment.

Casually displaying different levels of aura, even a strong Golden Core cultivator couldn’t detect it.

At present, there were still many people cultivating within the field.

Seeing this, Chu Ning sat back down cross-legged once more, and began cultivating the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique with the posture of someone intending to stabilize their realm.

In fact, most of the others were doing the same.

Another half-day passed by.

"Alright, everyone has already broken through to the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, let’s go."

Elder Gui’s words echoed in everyone’s ears, and Chu Ning immediately stopped cultivating and fell in line with the rest.

At this time, Elder Gui released a Magical Treasure in the shape of a Pill Furnace.

In the next moment, this magical treasure suddenly expanded, becoming as large as a courtyard.

Chu Ning and the others also boarded this magical treasure one after another.

Then, the Pill Furnace flashed in the air and disappeared.

Sitting inside the Pill Furnace, Chu Ning now had a clearer sense of it.

This magical artifact wasn’t using instant teleportation, but rather, its speed was so fast it gave the illusion.

The speed of the Pill Furnace magical artifact was so quick, it could travel a long distance in just a few breaths’ time.

What surprised Chu Ning was that after flying for a full hour’s journey, there was no sign of stopping.

"Why are we flying so far when the location of the secret mission is obviously near the sect? Is it to avoid detection?"
