The problem was, who was she?
She was a Perfect Completion Golden Core being, and one of the most famous geniuses in the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Cao Zhen, was only at Core Formation, not even having condensed a Golden Core.
No one had ever said before that Cao Zhen was a genius, yet his Gold Light Spell had reached the same intensity as hers.
Even if Cao Zhen had started practicing the Gold Light Spell earlier than her, it was still frightening.
She was well aware of how difficult it was to practice the Gold Light Spell to such a degree.
Cao Zhen looked at Li Ke’s constantly changing face, chuckled inwardly, and deliberately asked aloud, “How is my Gold Light Spell?”
“Very strong,” said Li Ke with a complex expression, “Your Gold Light Spell is even comparable to mine.
It’s apparent you’ve put in a great deal of effort in practicing the Gold Light Spell.”
Cao Zhen laughed even harder to himself.
What do you mean by ‘comparable’?
It was exactly the same as yours.
He continued to provoke, “Yeah, I also feel that your Gold Light Spell is not stronger than mine.
However, I believe that after some time, my Gold Light Spell will surely surpass yours.
How about we set a time to compare again, and see whose Gold Light Spell is stronger!”
“Compare then.
Anytime you wish, you can come and challenge me to see whose Gold Light Spell is stronger!” Li Ke suddenly burst out with a strong fighting intent.
She was a Perfect Completion Golden Core, and could be said to be the number one person under the Earth Immortals within the Hundred Peaks Sect.
How could she possibly lose to Cao Zhen, even less so be defeated by him!
Upon returning, she must practice the Gold Light Spell.
No, during this period, she would do nothing else but practice the Gold Light Spell.
Otherwise, if she were surpassed by Cao Zhen, who had only reached Core Formation, wouldn’t she be ridiculed to death by him!
Cao Zhen left the small grove with a satisfied expression on his face.
Are you stimulated?
Good, go back and diligently practice the Gold Light Spell.
That way, I can win without effort.
The two returned to the residence of the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak.
There was no other place suitable for accommodating so many people on Four Treasures Peak, so they chose to have the meal in the residence.
Today was their money-making day and also the day he and Chao Zi became sworn brothers.
It was a double celebration which naturally called for a hearty feast.
As soon as the two of them returned to the residence, Beichen Ying gave Cao Zhen and Li Ke a strange look and whispered to Cao Zhen, “Little Sixth Son, look at how happy you are, and then look at your junior sister, with her solemn expression.
You have to take care of others too, not just yourself.
Could it be that you’re not up to the mark?
Otherwise, your junior sister should be looking quite content…
Forget it, as your senior brother, I won’t let you down.
I know of a Pill…”
“Keep it for yourself!” Cao Zhen immediately lost his temper, “Who do you think you’re looking down on?
What do you mean?
Giving me a Pill?
Do I need your Pill?
Do I?”
Beichen Ying suddenly realized, “Right, I forgot Little Sixth Son, you’re an Alchemy Master.
You can just concoct your own.
When you’re done concocting, how about giving your senior brother a few?
Don’t look at me like that, I’m not going to use them for myself, I’m getting them for your Third Brother.”
“I won’t.” Cao Zhen couldn’t be bothered with Beichen Ying, who was never serious.
Instead, he glanced around and turned to ask Ling Xi, “Has my classmate Chen Shizhi not arrived yet?”
Ling Xi shook her head gently and replied, “No.”
“Sigh…
my old classmate…” Cao Zhen let out a sigh and said, “How can we miss him on such a joyful occasion?
You all go ahead and eat; I will personally invite my old classmate.
Please wait a moment; I’ll be right back.”
As he spoke, Cao Zhen leaped into the air, a longsword appearing beneath him.
This time, he chose not to ride the Immortal Cloud Carriage but instead flew directly to the Taoist Institution where Chen Shizhi was with Sword Flight.
Behind him, Yan Yourong looked at her master’s departing silhouette with a frown, truly not understanding why her master treated that Chen Shizhi so well.
Chen Shizhi didn’t treat her master like a friend at all.
Taking the Immortal Cloud Carriage meant following a set route, but Sword Flight allowed one to fly wherever one wanted, naturally much faster.
In no time, Cao Zhen was near the Taoist Institution.
During the flight, voices rose from the ground below.
“Run, where can you run to!”
“Chen Shizhi, do you think you can escape?”
On the ground, a young disciple kicked Chen Shizhi to the ground and said viciously, “What did you say back then?
You claimed that you and Cao Zhen were the best of friends, that you had insider information and would surely win!
We trusted your words and even told our friends to bet with you!
What happened in the end?
We lost everything!
Our friends also lost a lot of Spirit Stones because of you, so tell us, how do you plan to settle this debt!”
“How else can we settle it?
Beat him up first!”
Around him, a group of disciples stepped forward, pummeling the Chen Shizhi on the ground with kicks and punches.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, a cold shout came, its loudness causing everyone to tremble and involuntarily stop beating him, looking up towards the sky.
“That is…
the Peak Master!”
“Cao Zhen, it’s Cao Zhen!”
When the disciples recognized Cao Zhen, they retreated in all directions, knowing they were no match for him, especially since he was also a Peak Master.
Cao Zhen landed and helped Chen Shizhi up, looking at his bruised face with a surge of emotion.
This was indeed his good brother.
He had told him the truth, shared with him his real trump cards, and what he planned to do, yet he went around encouraging others to bet on his ranking increase for Cao Zhen’s sake, risking his life in the process!
As for these people…
Cao Zhen’s gaze turned icy as he surveyed the crowd, “I just saw you all raising hands.”
The crowd was shocked.
They stepped back and then said, “Although you’re a Peak Master, Peak Master Cao, you can’t ignore the rules.”
“Right, Peak Master Cao, we did raise our hands, but we had a reason.
Paying debts is natural; he owes us Spirit Stones and refused to pay, that’s why we took action.
We’re not afraid even if this goes to the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace!”
