My Master Knows It All-Chapter 1403 - 335_2

Cao Zhen extended another hand, gently stroking the little dragon while looking up at Bi Yue, his face full of pride. "Perhaps my disciple didn’t tell you—I also happen to be a Beast Rider. For a Beast Master like me, taking care of a little dragon is no challenge at all!"

He wasn’t about to reveal that the little dragon was drawn to him because it wanted to absorb the energy he had leaked during cultivation.

Immortal Bi Yue, seeing how close the little dragon was to Cao Zhen, gained even more confidence in him. She promptly handed a Qiankun Bag over to Cao Zhen and said, "Here are the materials you requested. Take a look and see if there’s anything amiss."

Cao Zhen took the Qiankun Bag, examined its contents, and confirmed that the materials were indeed correct. He then pulled out an ordinary Pill Furnace and immediately began igniting flames to start the alchemy process, explaining as he worked, "What I’m going to refine now is a batch of Spiritual Flood Monster Primordial Energy Cultivation Pills. Actually, the challenge with this pill lies in gathering the materials—once you have them, the refinement process is relatively straightforward."

As he tossed one medicinal ingredient after another into the Pill Furnace, he looked at Bi Yue with curiosity and asked, "I’m quite puzzled. What pill did Luo Zhen and Wen Dan attempt to refine for the little silver dragon back then?"

Immortal Bi Yue, who had watched Cao Zhen refine pills before and knew he was the most outstanding Alchemy Master, had seen him converse with others even while simultaneously refining three different batches of pills. So refining just one pill seemed effortless for him.

She appeared deeply concerned about the little silver dragon. Without even pausing to think, she responded to Cao Zhen’s question, "Back then, they refined the Divine Dragon Bone Strengthening Pill."

"What?! Are they insane?" Cao Zhen immediately exclaimed in a loud voice. "Given the little dragon’s current condition, how could it possibly withstand the potency of the Divine Dragon Bone Strengthening Pill? Didn’t they think to adjust the ingredients and use Flood Monster materials instead of dragon ones? Moreover, while its skeleton is indeed fragile, shouldn’t they first focus on conditioning its internal organs before attempting to strengthen its bones?

That Luo Zhen boasts of being a ’Divine Healer,’ but he’s nothing more than a quack!"

Immortal Bi Yue, hearing Cao Zhen’s vehement critique, couldn’t help but agree that Luo Zhen seemed like an inept healer. Yet, she wondered, why had everyone previously considered Luo Zhen to be one of the top alchemists and medical experts?

And furthermore...

She watched Cao Zhen refining just one batch of pills and curiously asked, "Why aren’t you refining several batches of pills at once? Don’t worry—there are plenty of materials."

"What, you think seeing me refine just one batch isn’t satisfying? It’s not that I don’t want to refine more—it’s just that the little dragon is too frail at the moment. It can only handle one batch for now. Once it slowly consumes this pill, I’ll monitor its condition before deciding whether to refine more."

For Cao Zhen, refining the Spiritual Flood Monster Primordial Energy Cultivation Pill was incredibly simple. He even began cultivating while refining the pill.

Bi Yue was thoroughly impressed now. Cao Zhen had already amazed her by simultaneously refining three batches of pills in the past, but what was he doing now? He was actually cultivating while refining pills.

Did he not need to control the flame?

Did he not need to constantly add medicinal ingredients?

Then, Immortal Bi Yue noticed that Cao Zhen really wasn’t managing the flame much. As for adding medicinal ingredients, he only did so after completing one minor circulation of his cultivation cycle.

Even though she herself didn’t practice alchemy, she knew that alchemists usually had to monitor the state of the flame constantly and continuously add ingredients. Even though she was aware of Cao Zhen’s masterful reputation, she couldn’t help but question whether this approach could truly result in a successfully refined pill.

And then there was Cao Zhen’s aura...

She discovered that while cultivating, Cao Zhen’s progress was astonishingly fast.

Without realizing it, twenty days had passed. Cao Zhen had already advanced to a level nearing the Golden Core Period Limit.

She distinctly remembered how, when she reached the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection stage, even the slightest progress had been incredibly difficult to achieve. Yet for Cao Zhen, it seemed as though he progressed effortlessly, with his mana continuously increasing through normal cultivation.

Recently, the Eastern Province’s cultivation world hadn’t experienced any significant events. The only notable occurrence was the Hundred Flowers Sect’s visit to the Dragon Chant Sect. Back when she was at the Heaven Prayers Sect, Immortal Bi Yue had remarked that the Hundred Flowers Sect had sowed discord, and they would have to be held accountable. However, upon returning to the Dragon Chant Sect, she became occupied with various tasks—helping Cao Zhen recover from his injuries, treating the little silver dragon—and thus hadn’t found time to confront them.

Surprisingly, it was the Hundred Flowers Sect that had become frightened. Before the Dragon Chant Sect could initiate anything, the Hundred Flowers Sect proactively came forward to make amends, offering their apologies and reparations. Of course, the emphasis was on the reparations.

By coming of their own accord, the Hundred Flowers Sect avoided having to pay a larger price. If they had waited for the Dragon Chant Sect to come knocking, their losses would have been far greater.

As the Hundred Flowers Sect members completed their restitution and were preparing to leave, a fleet of flying boats appeared in the distant void.

The Hundred Flowers Sect members decided to stay, looking up to watch the flying boats approaching from the skies.

After all, there was no way that anyone could be coming to attack the Dragon Chant Sect. With so many flying boats arriving, perhaps there would be something interesting to witness.

In the past, when their Sect Hierarch of the Hundred Flowers Sect was still in slumber, she had specifically instructed the younger generation of their sect. During the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, there were several Great Teachings that—even if they appeared incredibly weak, as though they might perish at any moment—should never be attacked directly at their mountain gates.

Among them, particular emphasis had been placed on the Dragon Chant Sect.

Their Sect Hierarch had further emphasized that under no circumstances should anyone provoke the Dragon Chant Sect.
