My Master Knows It All-Chapter 174 - 124 The Four Treasures Peak of the Hidden Dragon Observatory, The Hidden Dragon Observatory of the Four Treasures Peak_3
Chapter 174: Chapter 124 The Four Treasures Peak of the Hidden Dragon Observatory, The Hidden Dragon Observatory of the Four Treasures Peak_3
Ai Yunqi was unfazed as he said, "Peak Master Cao is a reincarnation of a person with great ability. If he wishes to cultivate, wouldn’t he excel quickly?"
Lv Chaoqiong pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "There is some truth to that. I am aware of the matter. I will go and discuss it with the Substitute Sect Leader."
Before she could leave, Gu Chengyu spoke up again, "Observatory Master, have you decided what you’re going to promise Peak Master Cao?"
Lv Chaoqiong shook her head: "I haven’t come up with anything yet."
"I do have an idea," Gu Chengyu said, pointing to the empty shelves around them. "As you can see, Peak Master Cao’s crafting consumes a lot of materials, and Four Treasures Peak doesn’t have many. With his skills in alchemy and formations, Peak Master Cao can’t accomplish much — even a skilled cook can’t prepare a meal without rice.
Therefore, I think we can give Peak Master Cao more materials, such as allowing him free use of Hidden Dragon Observatory’s supplies?"
"No," Lv Chaoqiong instinctively rejected the idea upon hearing ’materials’. Realizing that she had perhaps been too hasty, she added, "As the Observatory Master, although I can manage the materials of Hidden Dragon Observatory, I still only manage them. Any usage of supplies must still be reported to the sect. As for letting him use materials freely, I don’t have the authority to allow that. This matter still needs to be discussed with the Substitute Sect Leader.
Alright, I’m going to find the Substitute Sect Leader now."
Lv Chaoqiong soon left.
After Cao Zhen left the Immortal Soldier Workshop, he headed towards the residence of the Hidden Dragon Three Sons. He had been crafting Formation Maps here for many days, and Ai Yunqi had often spoken to him about his four disciples, revealing that three had become the Hidden Dragon Three Sons.
After some time, Cao Zhen returned to Hidden Dragon Observatory. This visit was different from the previous ones; now, upon seeing him, many of the Observatory’s disciples hurriedly avoided him.
Everyone in Hidden Dragon Observatory knew the people from Four Treasures Peak were fearsome, each more formidable and wicked than the last, always looking for an opportunity to spar with others, beating them senseless and then morally condemning them with all sorts of insults.
All of this was surely led by the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak, Cao Zhen. Seeing him and not keeping a safe distance was simply asking for trouble, wasn’t it?
Cao Zhen quickly arrived outside the houses of the Hidden Dragon Three Sons and knocked on the door.
It didn’t take long for the door to open, revealing the sight of Little Beiyan’s small head.
"Master, you’ve finally come," Bei Yan said, feeling an urge to cry. His master was finally here; his hard days were coming to an end.
"What’s with that look?" Cao Zhen touched Little Beiyan’s head, feeling that in the time he hadn’t seen him, Little Beiyan seemed to have grown a bit taller, and had also become somewhat thinner.
"Master, you don’t know, ever since the four of us got together, Senior Sister and Senior Brother have done nothing but cultivate and spar with each other. I...I’m young and can’t beat them," Little Beiyan explained as he continuously looked over Cao Zhen’s shoulder: "By the way, Master, where is Junior Sister? Why didn’t she come?"
He really had been terribly bullied during this period.
Initially, he was with his second Senior Sister and his third Senior Brother here.
The second Senior Sister was always a cultivation fanatic, and after the third Senior Brother learned that he had to leave the mountain, he became even more seriously ill and stopped reading novels. To Cao Zhen’s surprise, the third Senior Brother started cultivating with an intensity that even surpassed the second Senior Sister.
Well, the second Senior Sister couldn’t let herself be outdone by the third Senior Brother, so she also began cultivating like mad.
The two of them were insane in their cultivation, which was fine, but they dragged him into it too. Poor child that he was, not only was he made to cultivate every day, but later on, the second Senior Sister and the third Senior Brother, not satisfied with just cultivating, decided they wanted to spar and dragged him into it as well.
In the beginning, he held onto the fantasy that he might be able to surpass his second Senior Sister and third Senior Brother. After all, both of them had only retrieved one Divine Weapon each from the Divine Soldier Tomb, while he had managed to obtain two.
But when they started sparring, he realized just how wrong he was. His mistake couldn’t be more egregious.
The second Senior Sister, true to her reputation for relentlessly chasing after Master all over the mountains, was an opponent he thought he could match. But when it came to the actual fight, he could not win.
While sparring with him, the second Senior Sister’s blows felt like they carried a killing intent. He even began to suspect that she wanted to kill him.
As for second Senior Sister’s view, she believed she was already being quite restrained.
Unable to defeat the second Senior Sister, it came to sparring with the third Senior Brother, and he found that he couldn’t win against him either. The third Senior Brother’s Divine Skills were outrageously powerful. Moreover, the rapid improvement in his cultivation made him wonder whether being a bit mad was the best state of mind for Cultivation.
He was beaten to the brink of death day after day.
Latterly, his first Senior Sister finally arrived, and his face lit up with joy, eagerly inviting his first Senior Sister to a spar.
He had arrived much earlier than she had and had obtained two Divine Weapons from the Divine Soldier Tomb. After so many sparring sessions with his second and third Senior Brothers, he felt sure he would win this time.
His second Senior Sister was fierce, and his third Senior Brother was ill — he could accept losing to them. But first Senior Sister was just a normal person, could he still lose to her?
The outcome was that he got beaten once again.
His Senior Sister’s set of Talismans nearly brought him to tears.
He only learned afterward that it was the strongest Divine Weapon once held by the second Substitute Sect Leader.
Now, at long last his Master had arrived, and with the Master’s presence, the Junior Sister should also come, shouldn’t she? Him being younger, sparring with the Junior Sister seemed quite reasonable, right?
He was waiting for his Junior Sister to come to his rescue, yet he saw only his Master and no sign of his Junior Sister.
