Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 284 - 154: Joining Forces to Ride with the Immortal (Part 2)

Chapter 284: Chapter 154: Joining Forces to Ride with the Immortal (Part 2)

Thanks to the Puppet Bird providing a view, the two, though not fully exerting their speed in flying escape, were not slow either.

The place marked in the materials Chu Ning reviewed before, where the Tier Two Demon Beast was present, was also pointed out by Cen Zijin.

The two were not here to slay Demon Beasts this time, so they simply avoided them directly.

After flying forward for about a quarter of an hour, a vast bamboo forest appeared in front of the two.

Most of it was ordinary Spiritual Bamboo, but with Chu Ning’s keen eyes, he discovered one or two stalks of Cloud Pattern Bamboo among them.

However, these bamboos were merely growing on ordinary ground, which naturally was not Chu Ning’s target.

"This bamboo forest is large; I remember it covers over ten thousand acres. After passing through this bamboo forest, there lies the Stone Forest of Iron Meteorites,"

Cen Zijin said as the two continued flying forward.

However, due to the dense bamboo forest, their speed naturally slowed down.

After passing through the vast bamboo forest, at the forest’s end, there indeed was a large patch of stone forest composed of high and low, various-sized Iron Meteorites.

The Iron Meteorite appeared iron-brown and seemed to absorb light unusually, making the entire stone forest seem gloomy.

In fact, the entire stone forest was faintly shrouded in brown mist.

Chu Ning did not rashly use his Divine Sense to probe but instead asked Cen Zijin:

"Fellow Daoist Cen, can we use Spiritual Sense to explore this Iron Meteorite Forest?"

Cen Zijin shook her head.

"We’ve now entered the more central part of the island, and my Spiritual Sense is greatly disturbed, extending only about ten feet."

Saying this, she lightly touched the Iron Meteorite.

"This Iron Meteorite is extraordinarily hard; can this Cloud Pattern Bamboo really grow on this rock?"

Hearing this, Chu Ning hesitated slightly and said:

"I’ve only seen it in the materials before and don’t really know if it’s true or false, let’s search and see."

With that, Chu Ning leaped onto a taller stone, attempting to look from a higher vantage point to see if he could discover anything.

However, the brown mist was too thick for Chu Ning to see far.

Thus, he could only drive the Puppet Bird forward and search carefully.

Considering the proximity of this Iron Meteorite Forest to the bamboo forest, the two naturally wouldn’t venture too deep into the stone forest.

Instead, they searched laterally about a hundred feet from the stone forest edge to see if there was any discovery.

After searching for nearly a thousand feet like this, Chu Ning’s eyes suddenly brightened.

On the Magic Mirror of the Puppet Bird, amidst the hazy brown mist, a slender green bamboo could be vaguely seen.

"Found it!"

Upon hearing this, Cen Zijin immediately approached.

After seeing the scene on the Magic Mirror, the two promptly moved over quickly.

Upon approaching, they saw a bamboo about an inch thick and approximately three feet high growing straight on an Iron Meteorite.

The bamboo’s main trunk was covered with delicate patterns.

If not for the fact that the two had seen Cloud Pattern Bamboo outside, and this bamboo had sparse bamboo leaves growing on it,

one might really think it was just a pen stuck in the rock.

"This Iron Meteorite is extremely hard; does extracting this Cloud Pattern Bamboo require any special method?"

Cen Zijin asked Chu Ning.

Chu Ning shook his head.

"Just dig it out from the rock, trying not to damage the roots as much as possible."

Saying this, Chu Ning added, "You can first dig a bit wider around it, and later we can slowly extract the roots back home."

While speaking, Chu Ning did not make a move.

He indeed had a Black Small Saber, extremely sharp, which if used to dig this bamboo, should pose no problem.

However, he did not wish to expose this most damage-capable Incomplete Magical Treasure in his hand.

Seeing that Cen Zijin had invited him, it was only natural she should be prepared for this.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Cen Zijin drew out a gleaming dagger from her Storage Bag.

After asking Chu Ning about the general area, she thrust the dagger straight into the Iron Meteorite.

This dagger was exceptionally sharp, and the incredibly hard Iron Meteorite was cut open as if it were tofu.

Seeing this, Chu Ning couldn’t help but take another look.

Meanwhile, Cen Zijin, holding the dagger, began to dig carefully.

She clearly used Spiritual Sense, moving at an extremely slow pace, yet not touching even a single root.

Until the entire bamboo was finally extracted from the Iron Meteorite, she visibly let out a sigh of relief.

Handing the entire bamboo, Cen Zijin reached out to Chu Ning.

"It’s finally done. We can think of a way to get rid of the stone between the roots after we get back.

Forget it, it’s better to keep it with me first, as this Iron Meteorite is not easy to handle..."

Saying this, Cen Zijin took the bamboo back.

The unsuspecting Chu Ning, who was about to take the Cloud Pattern Bamboo, had not expected her to retrieve it again.

Thus, he couldn’t stop his hand mid-action.

Instead, he accidentally grasped Cen Zijin’s slender jade-like hand.

Realizing this, Chu Ning quickly retracted his hand.

A hint of embarrassment and annoyance briefly flashed in Cen Zijin’s bright eyes, but realizing Chu Ning didn’t mean it, she glared at him briefly.

Then, remaining silent, she stored the Cloud Pattern Bamboo and the dagger back into her Storage Bag.

Chu Ning, acting as if nothing had happened, calmly remarked:

"Fellow Daoist, this dagger is indeed a treasure, incredibly sharp."

Cen Zijin replied with a gentle "hmm," seeming to realize this might be too deliberate, then added:

"This dagger is made of Red Gold. Although it is just an Advanced Magical Artifact, in terms of sharpness, many Top Level Magical Artifacts cannot compare.

I primarily use it for inscribing arrays."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning displayed a look of sudden realization.
