Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 564 - 252: The Profound Fate Technique’s Marvelous Application—Fifteen Years of Cultivation

"Cannot hatch?"

Chu Ning felt a little regret upon hearing this, but still asked Qi Guangshou,

"Uncle, is there nothing you can do either?"

"Let me try." Qi Guangshou shook his head slightly and replied.

"But don’t get your hopes up too much. That cultivator from the Demon Spirit Sect must have had this item for quite some time.

If it had been kept in a Spirit Beast Bag, some secret techniques could have been used to assist its hatching.

However, they likely stored it in a Storage Bag, isolating it from Spiritual Qi, and it has been so long..."

Saying this, Qi Guangshou extended his hand, revealing a milky white light ball in his palm.

Then, he brought the light ball close to one of the Golden Thunder Eagle eggs.

The milky white light ball immediately enveloped the entire egg within it.

This lasted for as long as it takes for incense to burn, after which Qi Guangshou withdrew his hand and shook his head.

"No, the life energy inside is too weak, it cannot be hatched."

Chu Ning felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

However, he was immediately intrigued and said to Qi Guangshou,

"Uncle, I wonder if you could teach me the spells related to hatching this egg.

I have some interest in this field."

Qi Guangshou glanced at Chu Ning, seemingly surprised at Chu Ning’s interest in the art of Spirit Beast cultivation.

Then, he directly took out a Jade Scroll from his Storage Bag and handed it to Chu Ning.

"Our Sect is not known for Spirit Beast cultivation, so we don’t have many cultivation techniques in this area.

However, a predecessor from our Sect made some achievements in this field.

This is a compilation of Spirit Beast cultivation techniques I have organized, combining the teachings of that predecessor and my own collections, including the hatching spell used just now."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Chu Ning immediately took it with gratitude.

After putting the Jade Scroll in his Storage Bag, Chu Ning thought for a moment and asked,

"Uncle Qi, do you have any research on Ancient Spirit Beasts?

Do you know of any Ancient Spirit Beast that can freely penetrate Restrictions before fully maturing?"

"Freely penetrate Restrictions?" Qi Guangshou was taken aback by the question.

"Some Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts with powerful divine techniques can, at high cultivation levels, break through restrictions set by cultivators.

I’ve even heard that the Ancient Demon Race had cultivation methods and could also set up restrictions like cultivators.

But a completely immature Spirit Beast having the ability to penetrate Restrictions? I’ve never heard of such a thing."

Chu Ning was asking casually, and seeing that Qi Guangshou knew nothing about Ling Xiaobai, he wasn’t too surprised.

The little one’s origins were indeed quite mysterious; he had searched through many classics but found no relevant information.

Thus, Chu Ning didn’t linger on the topic and took his leave.

"If refined, this Golden Thunder Eagle could indeed be a great asset, but alas..."

Watching Chu Ning’s departing figure, Qi Guangshou shook his head slightly.

He could tell that Chu Ning’s desire to learn the spell showed his stubborn hope for the two eagle eggs.

But, given his nature, he naturally wouldn’t point this out.

Chu Ning returned to Spirit Rock Peak and immediately took out the two Golden Thunder Eagle eggs.

With a flicker in his gaze, Chu Ning extended his hand, made a small cut on his finger, and let a drop of blood fall on one of the eggs.

Immediately, Chu Ning cast several spells.

Instantly, a white, mysterious seal formed in the air.

With a point of his finger, the seal landed on the Golden Thunder Eagle egg.

Seeing this, Chu Ning felt a surge of joy.

"This egg still has life energy, so it can still be contracted."

Chu Ning was currently using a Life Contract Technique he learned from Ling Xiaobai.

He had previously learned from Ling Xiaobai that the Life Contract wasn’t limited to contracting with Ling Xiaobai alone.

However, having never encountered a particularly top-level infant Spirit Beast or Demon Beast,

Chu Ning hadn’t used it lightly.

Fully matured Demon Beasts resist such contracts, making it impossible to use the technique.

Chu Ning’s main aim in attempting it with the Golden Thunder Eagle egg was to practice the Profound Fate Technique.

The Profound Fate Technique could be used between a cultivator with a Life Contract and a Spirit Beast.

Chu Ning had witnessed the miraculous effect of this secret technique before.

When Ling Xiaobai was on the brink of death, practicing the Profound Fate Technique saved it.

And when Chu Ning was severely injured by the Elder of the Yin Demon Sect and unconscious, it was also Ling Xiaobai practicing the Profound Fate Technique that brought him back.

Now, with the Golden Thunder Eagle egg’s life energy being weak, Chu Ning wanted to see if the Profound Fate Technique could save it.

Immediately, Chu Ning placed the egg in front of him.

Magical power surged through his hands as he cast spell after spell.

Meanwhile, he uttered obscure chants under his breath.

These were the chants of the Profound Fate Technique.

Suddenly, threads of Spiritual Qi quickly gathered in front of Chu Ning.

A mystical power channel connecting Chu Ning and the egg appeared on his body.

The Spiritual Qi transformed into some energy and flowed into the Golden Thunder Eagle egg through this channel.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, Chu Ning felt a subtle difference.

This attempt at the Profound Fate Technique felt different from before.
