My Master Knows It All-Chapter 212 - 130: Finished Writing But Forgot to Upload_6

The Five-Element Pill Ground had still not been opened, with only Gu Chengyu and Gai Su’e, two members of the Five-Element Pill Ground, guarding it. What surprised them was that the Observatory Master had come here, and, unexpectedly, Cao Zhen as well.

Cao Zhen got straight to the point and said, "The Sect Leader has found me."

"I know," Lv Chaoqiong nodded and said, "The Sect Leader has already informed me of everything. Inside the Hidden Dragon Observatory, all resources are at your disposal."

Gu Chengyu and Gai Su’e straightened up in surprise upon hearing this, looking incredulously at Cao Zhen. They didn’t know how many resources the Hidden Dragon Observatory had, but they were all too clear about the resources of the Five-Element Pill Ground.

Although Cao Zhen had used a large number of resources for alchemy in the past, and the Observatory Master had even closed the Five-Element Pill Ground because of it, there were still many medicinal materials left in the Five-Element Pill Ground, and moreover, during this period, the Five-Element Pill Ground had been replenished with quite a number of medicinal materials. The reason it remained closed was the fear that Cao Zhen would come again to exploit it.

But now, the True Person Sect Leader had actually agreed to let Cao Zhen use all the resources within the Hidden Dragon Observatory at will! The Sect Leader, what was he thinking? This was truly shocking!

Cao Zhen wasn’t surprised, for Lv Chaoqiong was aware of Bai Fengzi’s intentions. He nodded and said, "Since that’s the case, I will start alchemy now. Could you take out all the medicinal resources within the Five-Element Pill Ground for me?"

"Alright, Elder Gu, please take out all the medicinal herbs and resources from the Five-Element Pill Ground without any hesitation," Lv Chaoqiong said without any reluctance.

Gu Chengyu and Gai Su’e were shocked once again. All the medicinal herbs, how many pills were you planning to craft!

Both of you really have the guts, one to ask, and the other to give.

While the two were gone to fetch the materials, Cao Zhen continued, "Observatory Master, the pills I’m going to craft this time will allow breakthrough upon consumption. However, I can’t craft them for too many people, as the materials are limited after all.

I can only craft the pills for myself and a few for my disciples to consume. I can’t take care of anyone else.

After all, you know that the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth is coming. I need to enhance my cultivation base as quickly as possible before it arrives."

Lv Chaoqiong nodded in agreement and said, "I understand, it’s indeed best to enhance the front... Peak Master Cao’s cultivation is vital." Cao Zhen was a reincarnated being with great ability. Even at the same Golden Core Stage, she believed that Cao Zhen had more methods at his disposal and was far stronger than the average Golden Core participant.

Similarly, Cao Zhen’s four disciples, who could privately be referred to as the Four Sons of the Hidden Dragon, had also proven their strength within their cultivational realm.

They too must have received Cao Zhen’s legacy.

Before the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, enhancing their cultivation was also a better choice for the Hundred Peaks Sect.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t be polite," Cao Zhen then looked at Gu Chengyu and Gai Su’e and said, "Could the two of you help me with the alchemy?"

"Of course, no problem at all." The faces of the two instantly showed joy. This person before them was a reincarnated being with great ability and an alchemy master. Helping him with alchemy meant they could learn many alchemy techniques, which would greatly enhance their own capabilities.

Upon returning that day, Gu Chengyu had informed Gai Su’e that Cao Zhen was a reincarnated being with great ability.

Cao Zhen did not start alchemy right away but said, "Come, you two, I will first teach you how to craft pills. It might be a bit difficult, and might take a little time."

The joy on the faces of the two deepened, he was going to teach them directly how to craft pills... Difficult, they were in charge of the Five-Element Pill Ground, their level of alchemy mastery was notable within the entire Hundred Peaks Sect. How difficult could it be? And how long could it possibly take?

One month later...

Gu Chengyu and Gai Su’e suddenly felt incredibly foolish. For an entire month, they had only barely managed to learn the alchemy techniques taught to them by Cao Zhen, and to learn it completely—not to master it!

Or to say... it wasn’t that they were dull, but that these alchemy techniques were truly too difficult to learn?

The two sighed, their gazes shifting to the side where, today, Cao Zhen had specially gone out and brought back a disciple named Yi Sheng.

Peak Master Cao came today with another disciple, implying he wanted this disciple to join them in learning alchemy. It took them an entire month just to barely complete the technique, and that too with their already considerable talent and a wealth of alchemy experience.

Peak Master Cao’s disciple was so young and a whole month behind them in starting to learn alchemy, suggesting that Peak Master Cao intended them to finish learning before he would teach his own disciple.

After all, the Hundred Peaks competition was imminent. It seemed Peak Master Cao still had much to attend to, so he planned to have them assist in teaching the disciple. Therefore, they needed to make the most of their time and not delay Peak Master Cao.

The two studied even more earnestly and diligently.

But soon, they both began to question their life choices.

They felt that Peak Master Cao didn’t bring this disciple over for them to teach, but for the disciple to truly learn alchemy from Peak Master Cao himself.

After half a month, they suddenly felt that perhaps Peak Master Cao brought this disciple to help teach them.

In just half a month, this girl named Yi Sheng had already completely mastered the alchemy techniques taught by Peak Master Cao!

Another half month passed, and the two finally took a deep breath.

It had taken them a full two months to truly master how to concoct the pills of Peak Master Cao.

This was with continuous, serious, and diligent teaching from both Peak Master Cao and his disciple. Yet, Peak Master Cao’s disciple had needed only half a month.

Now, they felt it wasn’t that the alchemy techniques were too difficult, but that they really were too stupid.

Gu Chengyu went over the alchemy techniques he had learned in his mind, and after a long period of furrowing his brows and pondering, he surmised, "Peak Master, this pill, I fear, may take a year to complete."

"A year? If it could be completed in a year, that would be good," Cao Zhen reflected upon the two’s thoughts, trying to think if there was anything more he could teach them to speed up their alchemy, or perhaps set up an array here?

While he was pondering this, the voice of Lv Chaoqiong suddenly carried over from a distance.

"In half a month, the Hundred Peaks competition begins. By sunset, the Hidden Dragon Observatory will officially close, all disciples must leave promptly!"

As per the rules of the Hundred Peaks Sect, before the Hundred Peaks competition, all disciples must return to their respective Peaks to adjust their conditions and prepare for the final showdown.

Of course, returning to their Peaks didn’t mean they couldn’t leave their own mountains; it meant they had to return from places of trial like the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace back to their Peaks. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Cao Zhen sighed with resignation, "Time passes so quickly; the Hundred Peaks competition is about to begin. Since that’s the case, I must trouble you both. I will now leave first with my disciple."
