But Chu Ning wasn’t hurt at all, not even getting his clothes dirty.
This must be credited to the Magical Artifacts and Talismans acquired from Elder Tong and Liao Yunming during the day.
Thinking about this, Chu Ning took out Duan Yuewu’s Storage Bag and two Magical Artifacts.
These two Magical Artifacts, the fork-shaped one had decent attack power, just now breaking through Chu Ning’s Intermediate Lower Grade Talisman defense with one strike.
And the other black Round Shield-like Magical Artifact also withstood Chu Ning’s Intermediate Lower Grade Offensive Talisman’s attack.
It took Chu Ning two Intermediate Lower Grade Attack Talismans to break through it.
Chu Ning looked at them now and found that both Magical Artifacts were clearly from the Cyan Creek Sect.
However, considering the other party’s identity as a disciple of the Artifact Refining Hall, Chu Ning was not surprised.
Opening the other party’s Storage Bag, it also contained a lot of things.
There were quite a few materials from Demon Beasts, whether Duan Yuewu had accumulated them early on or acquired them after entering this forbidden area was unknown.
There were several Jade Boxes, each containing Spirit Medicines, six species in total.
Chu Ning took a casual glance and recognized several materials used for refining Basic Upper Grade Elixirs.
Among them, a Fiery Sun Grass was capable of being used to refine Intermediate Lower Grade Elixirs.
Additionally, there were several hundred Spirit Stones and a few bottles of Elixirs.
These Elixirs included the Spiritual Essence Pills Chu Ning had been consuming lately, with nearly 30 pills present.
There were also Replenishing Essence Pills and similar items.
To Chu Ning’s surprise, there was also a bottle of the same kind of pill infused with rich Blood Evil Qi he had obtained a few days ago.
Apart from that, there were some Artifact Refining Materials.
Some of these Chu Ning recognized, while others were unfamiliar.
Finally, a thumb-sized piece of black metal material and a white pearl caught Chu Ning’s attention.
Despite its small size, this piece of material being kept in the Storage Bag indicated it wasn’t an ordinary item.
Though Chu Ning didn’t know much about materials, he could vaguely tell that the quality of this item wasn’t bad.
However, Chu Ning always felt that the black material, when stared at for a while, had an eerie quality.
With this thought, Chu Ning released his Divine Sense.
To his astonishment, the black metal material wasn’t within Chu Ning’s perception range.
"Divine Sense is unable to detect?"
It was the first time Chu Ning encountered such an occurrence, causing a slight sense of bewilderment.
He picked up the small black material, then closed his eyes, using his Divine Sense to sense it again.
What surprised him once again was that though he was holding it, his Divine Sense registered nothing in his hand.
He cautiously directed his Divine Sense towards the black material.
To Chu Ning’s immense surprise, upon entry, the Divine Sense was directly absorbed.
Chu Ning immediately stopped probing with his Divine Sense.
"This must have some significance."
Thinking this, Chu Ning stored the black stone separately in a Storage Bag.
Chu Ning then picked up the white pearl and discovered that it was indeed a Magical Artifact.
Chu Ning tried injecting Magical Power into it, and suddenly the white pearl emitted a white glow, illuminating the area.
However, there was no other reaction.
"Could this just be an illumination artifact?"
Chu Ning pondered to himself.
He then put the pearl away.
He sorted the other Demon Beast materials and Artifact Refining Materials separately.
"Although I lost a few Intermediate Lower Grade Talismans, worth hundreds of Spirit Stones, these items more than compensated for it."
After storing everything into his Storage Bag, Chu Ning stayed put, not venturing elsewhere.
He didn’t even release Ling Xiaobai, afraid that the little creature might cause trouble by running around.
Despite his curiosity about the Spirit Seed and the Five Elements Qiankun Array, Chu Ning’s innate caution suppressed his curiosity.
After all, he hadn’t entered the area legitimately. If discovered, there would undoubtedly be serious consequences.
Hiding in a secluded spot, Chu Ning took out the Earth Spirit Crystal and Jade Saber, starting to cut again.
He then reattached the Earth Spirit Crystal onto his Earth Spirit Bracelet.
Here, Chu Ning wasn’t sure if there would be any other dangers.
In addition, Chu Ning cut ten extra pieces for backup.
Fortunately, no danger appeared during the ensuing time.
After nearly a whole day, night fell again before Chu Ning released Ling Xiaobai from the Spirit Beast Bag.
"Xiaobai, your Divine Techniques have almost recovered, right?"
Chu Ning looked eagerly at the other.
"Almost!"
Ling Xiaobai gave a "ying" cry, and Chu Ning nodded.
After waiting for about an hour, Ling Xiaobai once more gave a "ying" cry towards Chu Ning.
Chu Ning understood that Ling Xiaobai was telling him that his Divine Techniques had recovered.
He immediately stood up and walked with Ling Xiaobai to the place where they had broken through the Restriction the day before.
After some thought, Chu Ning said to Ling Xiaobai:
"Don’t take me out yet. Go quietly and see if there’s anyone outside. If there is, return quickly."
Ling Xiaobai understood Chu Ning’s words and darted outside, directly exiting the Restriction.
Watching this unfold, Chu Ning couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
Hopefully, no one is outside.
Otherwise, even if Ling Xiaobai returns, he’d still have trouble getting out.
Soon, the little creature reappeared in front of Chu Ning.
"No one!"
