715: Chapter 219_1 715: Chapter 219_1 In the realm of immortal cultivation, when everyone goes out for a great battle, they generally won’t bring too many things.
After all, in a great battle, no one can guarantee a certain victory, and if one loses, then the treasures brought along would end up in someone else’s possession.
Therefore, when the Red Refinery Demonic Sect and the Sun Moon Demon Sect and others attacked the Hundred Peaks Sect before, those who died didn’t leave behind too many valuable treasures, the most common being their Qiankun Bags, followed by their Divine Weapons.
Other things might not be brought along, but Divine Weapons definitely would be.
And the Qiankun Bags also need to be brought, for if they breached the Hundred Peaks Sect, there would indeed be things to plunder.
However, this time was somewhat different.
The group led by the Eclipse Demon indeed only brought a Qiankun Bag each, with not many treasures inside the bags.
But the people Hei Xing brought along, whether out of confidence or because they had just plundered others, had their Qiankun Bags filled with items, especially Hei Xing, whose bag had over ten thousand liang of Spirit Crystals.
After cleaning up the battlefield and burning all the corpses of the Sun Moon Demon Sect disciples, Cao Zhen led everyone back to the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Although the world is now in disarray, it is not yet at the point where all the commoners are displaced and homeless.
News is still spreading.
Soon, news about nearly three hundred Golden Core Stage disciples from the Sun Moon Demon Sect being slaughtered outside Jijiang City by the White Hundred Peak Sect began to circulate.
The Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty and the other nine Immortal Sects also received the news.
“So it seems, the key point still lies with the top experts in the Golden Core Stage.
With Peak Master Cao and Ling Xi and other top experts present, unless there’s a significant number of Golden Core Stage experts, they are essentially unstoppable.”
“I have been wondering why the Hundred Peaks Sect did not seek revenge from the three Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty after being attacked.
It turns out they took action directly against the Sun Moon Demon Sect.”
“They have already taken action against the Sun Moon Demon Sect, I wonder when the Hundred Peaks Sect will make a move against the three big Immortal Sects.
After all, the Hundred Peaks Sect is an Immortal Sect of our Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, and being attacked by an Immortal Sect of the small Great Lai Dynasty, if word spreads, it wouldn’t look good for the ten Immortal Sects of our dynasty.”
After Cao Zhen led everyone back to the Hundred Peaks Sect, he immediately returned to the Five-Element Pill Ground, as his alchemy was not yet complete.
It was only because of the Sun Moon Demon Sect’s affairs that he had to leave temporarily, and then left Yi Sheng to continue leading everyone in crafting pills.
Now that he had returned, he naturally had to continue crafting his own pills.
Currently, all disciples below the Core Formation Stage had taken the pills he provided, which actually were to tap into their potential.
These had no effect on the recent battle.
And ten days after his return, the first batch of pills prepared for the Core Formation Stage disciples had been completed.
As the Hundred Peaks Sect had too many disciples, and despite the abundance of medicinal materials in the sect’s Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace, it wasn’t possible to use up all of one kind of material.
Moreover, not all Core Formation Stage disciples are the same, and not all of them are suited for the same pill.
For example, a nine Golden Core disciple and a single Golden Core disciple can withstand different potencies in medicine.
Therefore, the first batch of pills he crafted for Core Formation Stage disciples was intended for those with less than five Golden Cores.
Soon, the pills were distributed.
Within the Hundred Peaks Sect, every Core Formation Stage disciple with fewer than five Golden Cores received three pills each.
The previous pills targeted disciples who had not yet formed cores, designed to tap into their potential, so there was no immediate observable effect after taking the pills.
But when the Core Formation Stage disciples within the Hundred Peaks Sect took the pills, the Peak Masters of the various peaks instantly became uneasy.
“Three Golden Cores!
My disciple took three pills and went straight from one Golden Core to four Golden Cores, forming three additional cores!”
“My disciple has formed two additional cores, but he went directly from three Golden Cores to two Golden Cores.”
“I’ve heard that after five Golden Cores, one should take a different kind of pill.
Now my disciple has Five Golden Cores, should he take another kind of pill?”
“My disciple also gained two Golden Cores.”
“If this is the case with those below Five Golden Cores, what about those above Five Golden Cores!”
“This pill is terrifying.”
After a tally, to everyone’s astonishment, most of the disciples increased by two or three inner cores after taking three pills, with only a few gaining one additional inner core.
Half a month later, when the Core Formation Stage disciples with more than Five Golden Cores took the pills, their increase in inner cores was equally substantial, with the least gain being one, while most added two or three inner cores.
Even more so, one disciple, after taking three pills, gained four additional inner cores, advancing directly from six Golden Cores to a Perfect Completion Golden Core with Ten Different Phenomena!
This matter drew the attention of everyone in the Hundred Peaks Sect, and Li Ke went directly to Cao Zhen.
The disciple who had gained four inner cores belonged to her Vermilion Bird Peak.
Cao Zhen discovered that while he did not know if Tu Zhuque was strong in other aspects, his talent for selecting disciples was truly exceptional.
Just like the current Golden Core Stage disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, the strongest among those outside his sect were Li Ke and Liè Yàn of Flying Immortal Peak.
Although it was true that Li Ke’s current cultivation base had a lot to do with him, he believed that even without him, Li Ke would become a Ten Different Phenomena Perfect Completion Golden Core being.
