My Master Knows It All-Chapter 198 - 128: Good Intentions Part 3

If I hadn’t bought that calligraphy, how could they have experienced enlightenment? Instead of thanking me, they thank Cao Zhen!

That Cao Zhen is even more despicable. With his calligraphy presented, what does my gift amount to? What will others say then?

The Four Extremes Sect’s Shi Xiaolou, making his first gift offering to his partner’s sect, is overshadowed by another? If word spreads, my Four Extremes Sect will be dishonored.

There seems to be only one way now.

Shi Xiaolou straightened his clothes, ignoring Cao Zhen’s side, and spoke towards Tu Zhuque and Li Ke, "Peak Master, Immortal Li Ke, the earlier calligraphy was just a spontaneous act to enhance the fun. In fact, the gift I have brought this time is a pill."

As soon as these words fell, many around turned their gazes over.

Shi Xiaolou slowly took out a transparent calabash-shaped jade bottle, within which a crystal-clear pill gently swayed.

"This pill is known as the Jade Pure Returning Origin Pill."

No sooner had Shi Xiaolou named the pill than a flurry of astonished exclamations erupted all around.

"The legendary Jade Pure Returning Origin Pill?"

"It is said that even the gravest injuries can be healed with the Jade Pure Returning Origin Pill."

"Exactly, apart from healing severe injuries, a major feature of the Jade Pure Returning Origin Pill is the speed of recovery. Injuries that would take a half-year’s healing with spiritual medicine can recover in just over a month after taking this pill."

"The key is its remarkable healing effect. Even near-fatal wounds, upon taking this pill, can gradually heal. Even if it cannot return a person to their peak condition, it can still preserve about fifty or sixty percent of their strength."

"Within the entire Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, no more than five people can concoct such a pill."

"This is a life-saving spirit pill. I didn’t expect Young Master Shi to bring out such a spirit pill."

Listening to the crowd’s exclamations, Shi Xiaolou’s lips curled up with a touch of pride. This pill was also something his master had worked hard to obtain from a close friend. There were only three pills in total, all of which were given to him for life-saving purposes. Fortunately, he was carrying one with him.

"Young Master Shi is indeed sincere."

"Young Master Shi has put in a lot of effort."

Amidst the praises, Liu Zhixing’s gaze shifted to Cao Zhen, deliberately saying, "Young Master Shi has presented such a congratulatory gift. I wonder what kind of congratulatory gift Peak Master Cao has brought? As Immortal Li Ke’s partner, whatever Peak Master Cao presents must be extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, the Ultimate Pen Peak Master immediately called out in dissatisfaction, "How could Peak Master Cao not have a gift? Does this calligraphy not count? Is there a better gift than this? Do you know the level of achievement that this calligraphy represents?"

"Calligraphy? That wasn’t given by Peak Master Cao, it was bought by Young Master Shi."

"Right, that calligraphy doesn’t count as a congratulatory gift."

One by one, those previously duped by the Six Evils, those who spent spirit stones from their peaks to purchase Cao Zhen’s divine weapons, all began to speak up.

"Alright, let’s not make things difficult for Peak Master Cao. Are we not clear about the state of Four Treasures Peak? They are so poor they don’t even have a decent gate, can we expect a gift from them?"

"Even if they are poor, not presenting any gift for one’s own partner’s Golden Core Club isn’t reasonable, right?"

"What if Peak Master Cao did not prepare anything? Aren’t you all just putting Peak Master Cao on the spot?"

One after another spoke in a mocking tone, as many of them simply disliked Cao Zhen. Why would someone like Immortal Li Ke fancy you?

Cao Zhen didn’t understand. Did I desecrate your ancestors’ graves, or what? Why are you all so sarcastic here?

As for the gift, well, he really did have one prepared.

"Oh, speaking of gifts, I actually did prepare one, and coincidentally, I am also giving a pill."

All around, many began to mock once again.

"Since you have a gift, why not bring it out quickly?"

"Let’s all see what kind of pill Peak Master Cao has prepared."

"I hope it isn’t something like a Gathering Spirit Pill or a Poison Pill."

Everyone was well aware of the predicament of Cao Zhen’s Four Treasures Peak. What kind of fine pill could Cao Zhen possibly offer? Poor Cao Zhen – others give pills, and he does too, but others give high-grade pills like the Jade Pure Returning Origin Pill.

Cao Zhen turned back to his disciple and said, "Yi Sheng, take out the pill."

"Yes." Yi Sheng promptly took out a jade bottle that, in comparison with the one Shi Xiaolou used to store his pill, was clearly of lesser quality.

Many laughed upon seeing this bottle.

"Why does this jade bottle look so familiar?"

"Isn’t this the jade bottle used in the Hidden Dragon Observatory’s Five-Element Pill Ground for holding pills?"

"This pill was concocted within the Hidden Dragon Observatory then?"

"You may not have been to the Five-Element Pill Ground, but those jade bottles there aren’t restricted; anyone can take them. After all, they’re not valuable, so no one cares about them."

"So, could this be a bottle that Peak Master Cao casually picked up from the Five-Element Pill Ground?"

Cao Zhen nodded seriously and said, "That’s right, it’s from the Five-Element Pill Ground. We at Four Treasures Peak are poor and can’t afford jade bottles to hold our pills. Didn’t you all say that the peaks of the sect are branches of the same tree? Have you all helped Four Treasures Peak?"

"Help? We would help anyone but you."

"You, one of the Hundred Peaks Six Evils – who would help you?"

All around, people voiced their opinions. With so many talking, how could the Six Evils possibly keep track of everyone?

Cao Zhen, too tired to bother with these people, took the jade bottle from Yi Sheng and said, "This is a Nirvana Pill, a minor one."
