304: Chapter 147: Sending a Book_1 304: Chapter 147: Sending a Book_1 Hundred Peaks Sect has over a hundred peaks, and although it is not likely that a newly initiated disciple will forget the name of a specific peak, it is quite possible that they might be unable to answer if asked about the less prominent peaks and who their Peak Masters are.
But if you ask them who the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak is, currently there is nobody within the entire Hundred Peaks Sect who does not know.
In recent days, the entire Hundred Peaks Sect was abuzz with discussions about Cao Zhen.
Everyone was puzzled about how Cao Zhen could know so much.
Even Tu Zhuque, the Peak Master of Vermilion Bird Peak, couldn’t help but approach Li Ke.
“Ke, how does Cao Zhen even understand Military Law?”
Tu Zhuque really couldn’t figure it out.
She could somewhat understand Cao Zhen’s expertise in painting and calligraphy—perhaps he had a natural talent for the arts.
However, the way of Military Law was different, it required not only reading military classics but also practical experience within the armies of the human world.
One couldn’t master it through mere teaching.
When did Cao Zhen ever go out to gain such experience?
Moreover, what was the situation at Four Treasures Peak?
Who there could possibly teach Cao Zhen Military Law?
“This, I haven’t asked him…” Li Ke was just as confused as everyone else.
What could she possibly know?
Like everyone, she knew nothing.
Tu Zhuque instantly felt resigned: “You don’t know anything, and you’re choosing him as your dao companion?
Then what about his swordsmanship?
Where did he learn his swordsmanship from?
You don’t know that either?”
Countless people within the Hundred Peaks Sect were puzzled and wondered how Cao Zhen could know so much!
After acquiring the Thousand-Year Twin Dragon Bamboo from Military God Peak, Cao Zhen returned to Five-Element Pill Ground to commence pill crafting.
As the Thousand-Year Leviathan Silk and the Thousand-Year Twin Dragon Bamboo were put into the Pill Furnace, the flames around the Pill Furnace in front of Cao Zhen raged fiercely, completely enveloping the furnace.
A surge of explosive energy burst from the Pill Furnace, causing the surrounding air to fluctuate wildly.
In the blink of an eye, the effect had spread to the surroundings.
Gu Chengyu and Gai Su’e both looked up, their faces full of shock as they gazed toward Cao Zhen’s direction.
Could this intensity and this explosive atmosphere indicate an impending furnace explosion?
But the person currently crafting pills was an Alchemy Master; how could he possibly cause a furnace explosion?
The violent essence in the air grew thicker, and Gu Chengyu even had to divide his attention and keep looking toward Cao Zhen’s direction.
They felt that Cao Zhen’s Pill Furnace was indeed about to explode.
Though Peak Master Cao was an Alchemy Master, a reincarnated being of great ability, his current cultivation base wasn’t high.
If the furnace exploded with such a violent essence, it could be dangerous for him.
They must be ready to intervene at the first sign to shield Peak Master Cao from the blast.
Gradually, Gu Chengyu became more and more alarmed, and he even began to consider whether to call for additional experts to assist.
The violent essence within the Pill Furnace gave him the feeling that if it burst, the entire Five-Element Pill Ground could possibly be obliterated.
This was unacceptable; they couldn’t wait any longer.
Gu Chengyu’s heart raced uncontrollably, and beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.
“Peak Master Cao, quick, stop, if it keeps going like this, even I won’t be able to stop it once the furnace explodes.”
With the essence in the furnace reaching such levels of violence, he could no longer concern himself with the dignity of Peak Master Cao’s senior status, nor his identity as an Alchemy Master.
He yelled for Cao Zhen to stop, and turned to run outside.
He alone definitely couldn’t withstand the explosive energy; he had to find the Sect Leader and Ai Yunqi for help.
Stop?
Stop what?” Cao Zhen turned to look at Gu Chengyu, who was in complete panic, and pointed at the Pill Furnace, “This is just the very beginning; the real violence you haven’t seen yet.”
As he spoke, his fingers swept out continuously, casting more Alchemy Techniques.
In an instant, the essence within the Pill Furnace became even more violent.
While refining pills, he even found time to reassure Gu Chengyu, “Don’t worry, Elder Gu.
You just focus on your own pill crafting.
The pill I am crafting is supposed to be explosive; this is all normal.”
“This violent and it’s still considered normal?”
Gu Chengyu was at a loss whether to stay or go.
Leaving would seem mistrustful of the senior Cao, but failing to get reinforcements, he truly feared the Pill Furnace might explode.
After another two hours, he could no longer bear it.
He finally understood what ‘even more violent’ meant.
He felt as if the entire Five-Element Pill Ground had become a furnace, ready to explode at any moment.
Even without his intervention to call for reinforcements, Lv Chaoqiong and Ai Yunqi had already taken the initiative to arrive and stood guard nearby.
Cao Zhen was speechless; he was only crafting a pill, was all this fuss necessary?
Two days later.
Under the anxious watch of three Earth Immortal Realm experts, Cao Zhen pulled out ten Fierce Heart Increasing Pills one by one.
As the pills left the furnace, the tumultuous energy that filled the heavens and earth finally dissipated—not disappearing, but concentrating on each Fierce Heart Increasing Pill.
The ten pills radiated an extreme sense of explosiveness, giving people the impression that they were not pills to be taken, but Thunderbolt Bullets crafted by Hidden Weapon Peak!
“Best Quality, all ten pills are of the Best Quality!”
Gu Chengyu gazed at the pills in Cao Zhen’s hand, each shimmering with seven-colored radiance, and couldn’t help but exclaim.
He had seen Peak Master Cao refine pills before and knew he could craft Best Quality pills.
It was not surprising that Peak Master Cao could produce Best Quality pills.
What was astonishing was the short time in which he did it.
