Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 545 - 246: Not Letting Me Leave? You’re Asking for Trouble!

Yan Chunyun and the Beautiful Lady Zheng exchanged a glance.

Then they quickly whispered to everyone,

"Let’s keep this under wraps and discuss later. First, let’s go greet Protector You."

Saying this, the two of them quickly led Chu Ning and the others outside to the courtyard.

At this moment, You Jing had already descended.

"Protector You!" Yan Chunyun and the Beautiful Lady Zheng immediately went up to greet him with respectful bows.

Though both of them were only one realm away from You Jing, being at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage,

this realm was something many could never surpass in their lifetimes, and this Protector was someone even the Sect Leader greatly valued.

Naturally, they were very respectful.

Chu Ning glanced at You Jing, secretly musing in his heart.

"He managed to reattach that arm? But the life aura within that Jade Bone seems much weaker now.

Moreover, his Primordial Qi seems quite damaged as well. It seems the previous battle caused significant harm to this Golden Core Guardian of the Profound Yin Sect."

With these thoughts, Chu Ning quickly averted his gaze.

He fully activated the innate divine techniques to hide his Yin Wood Spirit Body aura, making it impossible for You Jing to sense the life aura originally on the Jade Bone.

However, Chu Ning didn’t want his gaze to attract undue attention from You Jing.

Fortunately, You Jing did not seem to notice Chu Ning, who stood aside.

He clearly wasn’t in a good mood, glancing at Yan Chunyun and the Beautiful Lady Zheng with only a slight nod.

Then, he walked silently toward the hall.

Yan Chunyun and the Beautiful Lady Zheng exchanged a glance and quickly followed him.

Chu Ning noticed that the two Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Profound Yin Sect didn’t follow.

So, he and the others stayed in the courtyard.

Yet, since You Jing didn’t use any Sound Transmission Techniques, and the hall doors were wide open,

Chu Ning could hear the conversation inside without using Divine Sense and could see what was happening.

You Jing sat down in the hall and directly spoke to the Beautiful Lady Zheng,

"Where’s that Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator with exceptional aptitude you mentioned? Bring her out.

I’m injured and need her for my cultivation to speed up my recovery."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chunyun and the Beautiful Lady Zheng felt secretly distressed but dared not say anything.

The Beautiful Lady Zheng smiled and said,

"Yes, Protector, I will bring her immediately."

She left for the backyard, while Yan Chunyun, perhaps to ease the awkwardness, smiled and spoke,

"Protector, how are things outside? Will the three factions fight?"

"Hard to say." You Jing shook his head.

"That Spirit Realm hasn’t fully formed yet. It might be another ten or twenty years before the Spirit Seed manifests.

For now, everyone’s mainly competing for territory, waiting for the Spirit Realm to form so that they can find the Space Boundary Point."

Saying this, a rare smile appeared on You Jing’s face,

"Still, our Profound Yin Sect has rendered great service for the Demon Alliance this time. We acted early and secured nearly forty percent of the Hong Lake Entrance territory.

If the Spirit Realm forms here, we’re sure to have a Space Boundary Point within our control."

Upon hearing You Jing’s words, Yan Chunyun’s eyes lit up and he flattered him,

"Isn’t it all thanks to you and Protector Tu? I heard you bravely fought the Daluo Sect’s Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator and retreated unscathed.

Such cultivation and divine techniques inspire our utmost admiration..."

Suddenly, Yan Chunyun realized something was wrong.

He was clearly speaking good words, so why did Protector You look so grim, his eyes full of coldness?

In the courtyard, upon hearing this, Chu Ning couldn’t help but chuckle to himself at Yan Chunyun’s unknowing precision in hitting You Jing’s sore spot.

You Jing had previously been defeated by Chu Ning, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, losing even his arm, which he had only managed to reattach at considerable cost.

Yan Chunyun’s words about retreating unscathed from a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator were a direct slap to You Jing’s face.

Sure enough, You Jing, feeling aggrieved yet unable to speak the truth, immediately shouted in anger,

"How long does it take to bring someone here? Do I have to fetch them myself?"

Yan Chunyun secretly bemoaned his fate, still confused about how he had angered this young Protector.

At this moment, the Beautiful Lady Zheng returned with a young woman, her face pale.

"Here! Here! Protector, this is the female cultivator we mentioned to you before, with excellent aptitude."

Chu Ning now realized that Yan Chunyun and the Beautiful Lady Zheng intended to substitute someone else.

However, their plan didn’t seem to be well-received.

You Jing glanced at the young female cultivator, his anger intensifying.

"And this is what you call excellent aptitude? How can she heal anything? She..."

He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly coldly glaring at Yan Chunyun.

"Yan Chunyun, have you embezzled and used that person yourself?"

Yan Chunyun’s face changed slightly but he immediately bowed,

"Reporting to the Protector, even given a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare."
