952: Chapter 258_4 952: Chapter 258_4 Yi Sheng heard the conversation and joined in, “However, Master, I’m not aware of what pills Disciple Sister would need for her Golden Core breakthrough.
Thus, I haven’t made any pills for her.”
“No matter, when I have gathered the ingredients for her breakthrough pill, I’ll teach you how to make it,” Cao Zhen replied.
Over the recent years, while he had been experiencing various aspects of life, he had not sought out pills.
Although he still had some pills for Duo Duo’s breakthrough, he couldn’t completely gather them all.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Ziyu immediately asked, “Master, what ingredients do you need?
I have brought back many, including rare medicinal herbs from different places.
When we return to Four Treasures Peak, you can take a look.”
As Xiang Ziyu spoke, everyone had already arrived at the foot of Four Treasures Peak.
Cao Zhen was momentarily startled.
Was this Four Treasures Peak?
Four Treasures Peak, as he left it, was now entirely different.
At the foot of Four Treasures Peak stood two massive white jade columns, and in between them was a completely transparent jade stone, flawless without a single impurity.
However, there were no inscriptions on the jade stone.
Xiang Ziyu, realizing his master was looking at the jade stone, couldn’t help but reveal a proud expression, “Master, do you see this white jade?
I brought it back from the South Ocean.
And that transparent jade stone is even more extraordinary—it’s the superior Jade Cloud, an excellent material for forging Divine Weapons.
I also brought this from the South Ocean.
Of course, we still need to inscribe the three big characters of Four Treasures Peak on the jade stone.
Since Master is skilled in calligraphy, we left this task for you, waiting for you to inscribe them.”
In fact, Xiang Ziyu had wanted to inscribe the words on the jade stone, but his suggestion had been opposed by other disciples and sisters, so he had to give up the idea.
“South Ocean?” Cao Zhen turned his head back to look at Xiang Ziyu in complete amazement.
Little Bei Yan, not waiting for Xiang Ziyu to speak, promptly said, “Master, don’t think he’s been to the South Ocean several times.
He actually went only once.
That one time, he slaughtered everyone on Evil People Island.
The Qiankun Bags stolen from those people were split between him and the Ax Crazy fellow.
All of these items were looted from their possessions.”
Cao Zhen nodded lightly.
The utterly remorseless individuals on the South Ocean Evil People Island had no bottom line, and it made sense that they had gathered numerous treasures from others.
That Xiang Ziyu had looted many treasures from those people was not unusual.
However, he quickly realized that he had underestimated the wealth of the individuals on Evil People Island.
Behind the jade stone gate were long slab stairways, and the material for these stairways wasn’t ordinary stone, but slab upon slab of black jade, with inscriptions carved into every step.
“This stairway, is it a Formation?
Who laid out this Formation?” Cao Zhen turned around to look at his disciples one by one.
Little Bei Yan spoke up, “Master, I laid out this Formation.” He had broken through to the Wind Fire Tribulation and at first, he was very excited.
But gradually, he found it boring.
He was in the midst of the Wind Fire Tribulation, and he could no longer continue his cultivation.
Even when sparring, he dared not wield his mana too freely, and practicing some Divine Skills could cause problems and trigger the Wind Fire Heavenly Tribulation.
But he still needed to find something to do.
In the end, he started to study Formations, and unexpectedly, he discovered he had a talent for them.
Now, all the Formations within Four Treasures Peak were laid out by him.
Cao Zhen, during this time, had not only not communicated with his disciples, but he hadn’t even accessed his China Cloud.
Therefore, he hadn’t known that his disciple Bei Yan had begun delving into Formations.
But concerning Formations,
Cao Zhen asked with some curiosity, “While I have been away, who did you learn your Formation skills from?”
Formations aren’t something one can master through self-study.
“Master, within our Hundred Peaks Sect, we have a legacy of Formations.
Within the Hidden Dragon Observatory, there are numerous Formation legacies.
Aren’t you the Master of the Hidden Dragon Observatory?
Don’t you know this?”
Cao Zhen didn’t need to access China Cloud; just by observing the present Formation, he could tell Little Bei Yan’s skill level was not low.
“Just by observing the legacy, you’ve achieved this much.
You do have some talent.
When we return to the peak, I will teach you Formations.”
Cao Zhen continued walking up the mountain with everyone.
The previous Four Treasures Peak seemed desolate, but now, it had taken on a definite shape.
Initially, Four Treasures Peak only had a few Spirit Fields he had scrounged together, but now at a glance, it boasted ten acres of Spirit Fields, each fully planted with Spiritual Medicine.
Among them, there was even one particularly large Fifth-grade Spiritual Field.
A Fifth-grade Spiritual Field was something the entire Hundred Peaks Sect only had two of, and none were as large as this one.
Filled with astonishment, Cao Zhen turned back to his disciples and asked, “Did you all bring these Spirit Fields here?”
“Master, to be precise, it was I who brought them here,” Xiang Ziyu replied with a satisfied smile.
“Master, you shouldn’t be so surprised.
I told you before, I’m the protagonist.
Bringing back a few Spirit Fields was a simple task for me, wasn’t it?”
Simple?
For a moment, Cao Zhen didn’t quite know what to say.
These were Fifth-grade Spiritual Fields, and they were fully planted with Spiritual Medicine.
Pointing at the Spiritual Medicine in the fields, Cao Zhen asked, “Did you also acquire all these Spiritual Medicines?”
