My Master Knows It All-Chapter 390 - 162 Can’t Run Away_1

Lan Pili found that after arriving at Thousand Caves Door, he barely had to exert any effort, as all he did was lie back and watch Cao Zhen perform.

To his surprise, as he watched, the matter unexpectedly landed on his shoulders.

"You wish to debate agriculture with me?"

Upon hearing Elder Huan Kong’s words, Lan Pili himself was stunned for a moment before he realized that, as a Peak Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect, it was natural for Elder Huan Kong to assume he came to engage in debate, as they had asked him before about his strengths.

This...

Why did I have to say what I was good at when Huan Kong previously asked me?

Couldn’t I have just said I’m not good at anything? What was I thinking!

Lan Pili was now filled with nothing but regret. He was representing the Hundred Peaks Sect and had previously claimed proficiency in agriculture. Hence, if he refused the challenge, it would seem like the Hundred Peaks Sect was afraid of the Thousand Caves Door.

But if he accepted...

He truly had no confidence.

Yes, he was adept at farming, and he believed that his level of knowledge in the "agricultural" arts could rank near the top among the Thousand Caves Door.

But could he defeat all those skilled in agriculture at Thousand Caves Door?

That was utterly impossible.

As far as he knew, there were at least two people in Thousand Caves Door who were more skilled in agriculture than him.

Many within the Hundred Peaks Sect knew that previously their Lightning Peak had little heritage in the way of agriculture, which was brought to the peak by the former Peak Master.

However, few knew how the former Peak Master acquired those teachings.

As the current Peak Master of Lightning Peak and the disciple of the former Master, he naturally knew.

Years ago, his master had ventured out and, by chance, discovered the ruins of an annihilated sect.

Xingnong Gate.

A minor sect that had not drawn much attention and was likely annihilated during the last Qiankun small epoch.

Inside the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, there were many small sects. After a sect was destroyed, people naturally began to forget about it as time passed.

It was only after his master entered the ruins of Xingnong Gate that he learned of its past existence.

While Xingnong Gate was not strong, it was particularly adept at agriculture, one of the Six Arts.

His master obtained the agriculture heritage from Xingnong Gate, but there was another discoverer of the ruins besides his own master. That person was White Cave Master of Silver Circle Cave from Thousand Caves Door, who, in fact, had received a slightly more extensive heritage than his master. To this day, that Cave Master of Silver Circle Cave was still the same White Cave Master.

He had no confidence that he could beat White Cave Master.

But knowing he was no match, he could only accept the challenge.

"Regarding the debate on agriculture, may I ask how you gentlemen would like to proceed?" Lan Pili turned to address the people from Thousand Caves Door.

Within Thousand Caves Door, White Cave Master and another Cave Master exchanged glances before stepping forward. Looking at Lan Pili, he said, "Generally, there are two methods for debating agriculture. One is to use the same soil and Spirit Grass, placed in the same location and under the same conditions. Whoever can cultivate better Spirit Grass is naturally the winner.

However, this method takes too long.

We’ll use another approach. How about we each set challenges by damaging the other’s Spirit Field and reviving each other’s Spirit Grass?"

Lan Pili’s face grew solemn as he listened. Setting challenges meant employing techniques to cause some damage to the Spirit Fields. Because the Spirit Fields get damaged, the Spirit Grass grown on them would also be affected.

This was how challenges were set.

The other person would then have to solve it, figuring out how to restore the Spirit Field to normal and likewise recover the health of the Spirit Grass.

Of course, while they were setting challenges, they couldn’t just wantonly destroy.

For instance, if you damaged the Spirit Field such that the other party couldn’t restore it, you would have to restore it yourself.

If you yourself couldn’t restore a field you had damaged, that would be considered a violation, a reckless destruction of the Spirit Field, and naturally, you would be deemed the loser.

Furthermore, such actions, if publicized afterward, would destroy one’s reputation completely. Therefore, reputable sects usually refrained from acts that would cause irreparable damage to a Spirit Field.

Lan Pili knew that if it were about cultivating Spirit Grass, he might still have a slight chance, but if it was about setting challenges, he would be destined to lose.

His lineage, of course, came from his master, and the heritage his master and White Cave Master had obtained was the same. However, for some reason, White Cave Master had received a somewhat more comprehensive heritage at the time than his master.

Therefore, everything he knew, White Cave Master also knew, but there were things White Cave Master knew that he did not.

The debate could not continue here in the gully of Sunset Clouds Cave, especially as night had already fallen and it was not suitable to debate any longer.

However, even the damage to the Spirit Fields would require time and preparations.

Today, as the two parties in the debate, Lan Pili and White Cave Master each divided a plot of Spirit Field to prepare in advance, with the formal debate set to commence tomorrow.

As one of the top ten Immortal Sects, Thousand Caves Door naturally couldn’t lack hospitality. They had arranged a separate compound for the people of the Hundred Peaks Sect to rest. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

Throughout the night, Cao Zhen did not see Lan Pili at the compound.

The next morning, he led the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect to the Spirit Field for the debate.

On the way, he noticed an increasing number of Thousand Caves Door disciples gathering around.

Yesterday, Cao Zhen alone had managed to demoralize the people of Thousand Caves Door completely.
