Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 194 - 127: Spirit Charm Eruption 2

The only thing I know is that upon entering this Spirit Realm, we need to activate the Five Elements Qiankun Array to force that Spirit Seed to manifest.

It’s said that this Spirit Seed is useful for both Golden Core Stage and even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to breakthrough, but as for its exact function, I am unclear."

As he spoke, Zhuang Yunde pointed straight ahead.

"Look, over there, right now there’s another group of senior brothers activating the array.

This array needs to be powered continually year-round, and it requires a thousand disciples at a time.

Once a group of disciples runs out of magical power, another batch immediately takes over."

"An array driven by a thousand people?" Chu Ning exclaimed in surprise.

Zhuang Yunde nodded, sighing:

"Indeed, when I first entered this place and heard about it, I found it quite astonishing as well.

It’s said that even Golden Core Stage cultivators need several people’s combined strength to drive this array.

Since only Qi Refining cultivators can enter this Spirit Realm, the sect somehow modified it.

And then let us Qi Refining cultivators operate it, although it requires more people."

Chu Ning roughly understood at this point, realizing that where they were wasn’t the actual array formation land, merely a residential area for the outer disciples.

After a brief exchange, Chu Ning again turned to Zhuang Yunde and asked:

"Senior Brother Zhuang, can we still leave here? Why was it said earlier that if we can get out, we could directly become Inner Sect disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yunde revealed a wry smile.

"That’s actually the question I was most concerned about when I first entered, but after truly understanding, sigh..."

Despite the sigh, Zhuang Yunde still explained everything to Chu Ning.

It turns out that under the Five Elements Qiankun Array’s activation, this Spirit Seed would unleash a Spirit Charm impact every few years.

And under such impact, a significant portion of the disciples activating the array are affected.

While some are crushed to pieces by the spiritual energy waves of the Spirit Charm, a lucky few manage to acquire a trace of Spirit Charm.

According to those responsible in the sect, this Spirit Charm can enhance one’s cultivation talent, purportedly able to cleanse the Bone Marrow Spirit Root.

As long as one acquires a wisp of Spirit Charm, future cultivation can proceed rapidly, making Foundation Establishment success almost certain.

However, upon acquiring the Spirit Charm, one can no longer remain within the Spirit Realm.

Because if the Spirit Seed senses a cultivator with Spirit Charm within the realm, it will cease releasing Spirit Charm or showing itself.

Due to the rarity of acquiring Spirit Charm, coupled with heightened talent, the sect naturally places great importance on these individuals, accepting them as Inner Sect True Disciples and imparting higher-level cultivation methods.

At this moment, Chu Ning posed a crucial question:

"So, Senior Brother Zhuang, with each Spirit Charm impact, how many may lose their lives, and how many can obtain Spirit Charm?"

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s question, Zhuang Yunde’s bitter smile deepened, choosing to transmit his words instead of speaking aloud:

"Junior Brother has indeed hit the key point. Previously, the Spirit Charm erupted every three to five years.

Each eruption results in at least thirty percent and at most sixty percent of the disciples perishing, while less than ten obtain Spirit Charm.

The most recent eruption was just over three months ago, with about forty percent of the disciples dying, and four or five obtaining Spirit Charm.

As for the exact number, I’m not sure either."

Hearing this, Chu Ning remained silent, his heart chilled slightly.

The sect’s desire for this Spirit Seed clearly is not a matter of one or two years.

Coupled with previous sect statements, the replenishment of servant disciples has markedly increased over nearly fifty years.

The time expanse can be imagined.

Considering what Zhuang Yunde just described, with each three-to-five-year Spirit Charm impact resulting in losses of at least 300, at most 500 to 600.

"These Qi Refining disciples in the sect’s leadership are truly of little worth."

Chu Ning privately smiled wryly, a thought he naturally kept to himself.

At this moment, Chu Ning even considered why those so-called disciples exiting the Spirit Realm are so valued by the sect.

Apart from genuinely enhanced talent, perhaps it also involves oversight.

After all, if these individuals leave, there’s no guarantee the secret of the Spirit Realm won’t leak.

In reality, some secrets have certainly already leaked.

Otherwise, how would disciples of the Yin Demon Sect infiltrate?

As Chu Ning pondered this, his gaze inadvertently swept across a somewhat familiar figure in the distance.

Luo Hongping, the one who once lived next door with Lu Yunfang.

Lu Yunfang had been killed by Chu Ning previously, yet now Luo Hongping reappeared here, undoubtedly showing the Yin Demon Sect had infiltrated eventually.

Chu Ning’s heart sank slightly; he still awaited Tan Zhang’s appearance.

If the other appeared, naturally there would be no issue, as Tan Zhang would find a way to inform others.

After all, as one of the disciples with Liao Yunming in the Spirit Talisman Pavilion, Tan Zhang’s network within the sect surely surpasses his own.

But if Tan Zhang didn’t appear, this message must find a way to be delivered.

Sect benefits or not, Chu Ning no longer cares, but the lives of himself and others must not be constantly exposed to danger.

Zhuang Yunde looked at Chu Ning, who was silent.
