My Master Knows It All-Chapter 218 - 131 Hundred Peaks Convergence Law_6
Chapter 218: Chapter 131 Hundred Peaks Convergence Law_6
Immortal Bridge of Wonders!
Shortly thereafter, a second, a third...until all ten Immortal Bridges appeared, each one an Immortal Bridge of Wonders!
Perfect Fulfillment on the Ten Dao Platforms, Perfect Fulfillment on the Ten Immortal Bridges!
Cao Zhen felt the power gradually fading from Chao Zi’s body and sighed softly. Indeed, the purity of Old Chao’s Red Abyssal Flame Body was too low. Managing to complete ten Immortal Bridges was already the limit; there was no chance he could condense a pill directly like Ling Xi and the others.
Feeling an unprecedented power within him, Chao Zi nearly wanted to howl longingly at the sky.
Before, he was merely at the Tao Base stage, but now he had achieved a perfect Ten Immortal Bridges!
"Old Cao!" Chao Zi looked at Cao Zhen. For a moment, this rugged man was so moved that he didn’t even know what to say; faintly, tears of emotion even appeared in his eyes.
"Cut it out, we’re both grown men here; don’t play sentimental with me. I’m helping you as much as I’m helping myself. We’re about to swear brotherhood after all."
Cao Zhen thought that after Chao Zi’s breakthrough, Seven Star Peak’s ranking should improve somewhat. The competition of the Hundred Peaks was indeed more demanding than that of the Six Arts, but they would still have to fight. Seven Star Peak was not strong in the Six Arts, but moving up a rank or two should be possible.
Time passed slowly.
Now, every peak was preparing for the competition of the Hundred Peaks, but daily life still had to go on. They needed to go out and purchase various necessities, especially during these last moments of preparation. While getting ready, they were also gathering information on their competitors.
Especially the masters of the bottom twenty peaks. They were extremely concerned with the state of Four Treasures Peak.
Soon, a piece of news began to spread, and it originated from Vermilion Bird Peak.
"Have you heard? Ling Xi from Four Treasures Peak is actually a genius in talisman crafting. I have a junior sister, a very good friend of mine from Vermilion Bird Peak, and she told me that recently, Ling Xi often visits Vermilion Bird Peak to exchange ideas about talisman making. Initially, it was just an exchange, but later on, it turned into Ling Xi instructing Vermilion Bird’s people on talisman making."
"How could that be? Even if the people of Vermilion Bird Peak aren’t adept at talisman making, they are still from one of the Top Ten Peaks. How could they need guidance from Four Treasures Peak?"
"How could it not be possible? Those Gathering Spirit Talismans that have been selling like hot cakes were passed down from Four Treasures Peak. Anyway, I’ve told you the news—it’s up to you to believe it or not. I’m sharing this news because of our life-and-death friendship, hoping that you can also make a fortune. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do about it. Now, I’m going to the betting house to wager on Four Treasures Peak’s ranking."
Revolving Thought Peak, the ninetieth.
Liu Zhixing looked at his close friend who had just arrived, full of surprise: "Brother Yue Chong, the competition of the Hundred Peaks is about to begin. As the leading disciple of your peak, shouldn’t you be helping your master with the final preparations instead of running over here to Revolving Thought Peak?"
"If I don’t come now, it’ll be too late. I’ve got urgent news for you." Yue Chong was very familiar with Liu Zhixing. He didn’t even wait for Liu Zhixing to open the door, but pushed it open himself, pulling Liu Zhixing into the room before closing the door and speaking urgently, "I’m here because I’m afraid you’ll make the wrong bet on Four Treasures Peak’s ranking.
We’ve analyzed before that although the disciples of Four Treasures Peak can fight, they’re few in number and at most, they’re proficient in talisman making. But I just got news that the lead disciple of Four Treasures Peak, Ling Xi, has reached a height in talisman making far beyond our imagination.
Even the people of Vermilion Bird Peak have to consult with Ling Xi on this craft. And alchemy! Do you remember the rumor we heard before about Cao Zhen going to Precious Cauldron Pavilion to perform alchemy before his challenge against Starshine Peak?
I’ve inquired about it, and that rumor is true—Cao Zhen is indeed skilled at alchemy. And his junior disciple Yi Sheng is equally proficient in alchemy, even going to Vermilion Bird Peak to provide guidance in recent days."
In addition to that, Cao Zhen’s not so sharp third disciple, Xiang Ziyu, turns out to be skilled at artifact refining.
With this in mind, Four Treasures Peak has significant ability in three out of the Six Arts, particularly two of them.
Therefore, the weakest aspect of Four Treasures Peak, the Six Arts, isn’t dragging them down quite as much as we thought it would.
Moreover, I’ve heard that the master of Vermilion Bird Peak has instructed the disciples that if Four Treasures Peak has any cultivation or Six Arts problems, they should visit Vermilion Bird for assistance, and they must teach them diligently.
Vermilion Bird Peak is clearly set on helping Four Treasures Peak rise in the rankings of the Hundred Peaks, and that’s a contender from the Top Ten Peaks!"
"Damn it!" Liu Zhixing cursed softly, saying sternly, "Cao Zhen has really struck it lucky to have caught Li Ke’s attention! With this, could it be that Four Treasures Peak’s ranking will soar above the eightieth?"
"Eightieth? I fear not just that!" Yue Chong said as he analyzed, "Don’t forget the news brought back by those who returned from Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace—that aside from Yi Sheng, the other four disciples of Four Treasures Peak are all extremely strong.
They can fight if it comes to fighting, and they have the Six Arts. In fact, the Six Arts have now become their strength.
It’s true that everyone practices the Six Arts, but like the peaks in the bottom twenty or even thirty, each peak may be good at one or two of the Six Arts, or at most three. They don’t have an advantage over Four Treasures Peak, and might even be disadvantaged. Plus, with those four strong disciples from Four Treasures Peak, do you think their goal could only be the eightieth place?"
Liu Zhixing frowned and said, "Could it be the seventieth?"
"Not just that, I think at the very least, they could surge to around the sixtieth rank," Yue Chong stated his analysis, "Think about Cao Zhen. Before his challenge with Starshine Peak, who knew he was that strong? At that time, he was already scheming to make money through the challenge.
This time, during the Hundred Peaks competition, don’t you think he wants to make money? If he does, then he would definitely keep some cards up his sleeve. By then, their obtained ranking, I estimate, will be much higher than many people expect."
"Right, considering that shameless character of Cao Zhen, he’s definitely plotting something!" Liu Zhixing nodded emphatically in agreement, "Even sixty might be too low. I think it should be even higher, perhaps around fifty-five. Come on, let’s hurry to the pawnshop."
Yue Chong was puzzled, "Why go to the pawnshop? You don’t want to pawn items to exchange for Tao Spirit Stones and then bet on Cao Zhen, do you? It’s fine to make some money, but there’s no need to pawn."
"I have no choice but to pawn. I’ve already wagered on Four Treasures Peak ranking in the eighties before, and with what you’ve just said, I’m bound to lose all those Spirit Stones, so I need to bet more to break even."
