My Master Knows It All-Chapter 394 - 162: No One Can Escape_5

"The spirit field below?" White Cave Master was momentarily bewildered. Was Cao Zhen planning to inflict further destruction upon what he had already damaged? He was well aware of how the spirit field had been destroyed, since he was the one who did it.

Wasn’t he merely handing himself a victory?

As he contemplated this, Cao Zhen had already stood up and looked at White Cave Master, "White Cave Master, it’s your turn now, restore the spirit field."

"That’s it?"

White Cave Master looked at Cao Zhen incredulously. If it weren’t for Cao Zhen’s recent instructions on how to restore the spirit field, he might even doubt Cao Zhen’s capability in the agricultural aspect of the Six Arts. In such a short time, without using various plants or herbs, Cao Zhen had already finished the destruction. He merely stuck his hand in; what damage could that do?

He...

White Cave Master thrust his hand deep into the ground, and the next instant, he shuddered and quickly inserted his other hand as well, his face a mask of disbelief.

Around them, the members of Thousand Caves Door, who had previously shown no signs of panic, stared at the change in White Cave Master’s expression, and sudden unease gripped their hearts. With that look on his face, White Cave Master clearly encountered trouble.

Could it be that they were going to lose again today?

Cao Zhen, having finished everything, didn’t look at White Cave Master anymore but turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, who among you wishes to debate with me on agriculture, go ahead. Look together with White Cave Master and study it."

Around him, the expressions of the Cave Masters and disciples darkened, their outrage evident. This was sheer arrogance.

What did Cao Zhen mean by this?

He was blatantly disrespecting White Cave Master, implying that White Cave Master couldn’t solve it, and was even more clearly despising them, underestimating Thousand Caves Door, by suggesting they should study it together!

Was Cao Zhen challenging the entire Thousand Caves Door in the agricultural field all by himself?

Amidst the anger, White Cave Master’s voice carried over, "Everyone, come and have a look."

His words hung in the air, and everyone was shocked. White Cave Master was one of the top three experts in the agricultural field recognized by Thousand Caves Door.

Now, after merely a glance, he was suggesting everyone look together, which clearly indicated his lack of confidence.

Cao Zhen simply reached into the soil and fiddled around, such a trivial motion; then what had Cao Zhen done exactly?

Many of the Cave Masters and disciples skilled in agriculture ran to the spirit field. At this moment, they didn’t need to examine it further; they had already spotted the issue. freewēbnoveℓ.com

This spirit field, they could no longer sense any spiritual energy in it, feeling as if it was just ordinary farmland.

But just this alone shouldn’t have made White Cave Master’s face look so terrible. What was wrong with the soil underneath?

Many followed White Cave Master’s example and reached directly into the spirit field, their faces turning blank the next moment.

The soil below was filled with spiritual energy, incredibly dense and full of vibrant life; the land was incredibly fertile.

"The spirit field above has no perceptible spiritual energy, yet the soil is so fertile... What’s going on?"

"All the spiritual energy and nutrients are isolated below."

"To solve this, the nutrients and spiritual energy below need to be allowed to flow upward."

"But how to make it flow up? This dense spiritual energy and nutrients, with just a slight disturbance, as soon as there is an outlet, they will all rush out, and then the spirit grass above would be burnt alive due to excess nutrients."

"Divert a portion of the nutrients somewhere else?"

"How to divert? Haven’t you realized? The spiritual energy and nutrients below are completely integrated. With just a slight touch, they will all flow out."

"This is simply baffling; how did he do it? White Cave Master, you were the one who destroyed the spirit field before. Surely you have a way to restore it, right?"

"I... I also cannot."

Everyone scratched their ears and cheeks, discussing what to do, but no matter how much they deliberated, they could not find a solution.

Cao Zhen was no longer watching them. In fact, under the current situation, restoring the spirit field was simple – using manure.

However, these people thought manure was dirty and had no idea how to use it to fertilize the spirit field even better. They were fixated on how to plant certain plants to cultivate the field.

With their theories, even if they tried for ten years, a hundred years, they wouldn’t be able to solve the problem.

He didn’t have time to wait for them endlessly.

Cao Zhen looked toward Lan Pili and asked, "Peak Master Lan, there should be a time limit for solving the puzzle, right?"

Lan Pili, unsure if Cao Zhen was intentionally mocking the others or genuinely didn’t know, could only respond, "Indeed, there is a limit. For a first-grade spirit field, there are six hours. If the solution isn’t found within that time, then it’s a loss."

Six hours...

Cao Zhen shook his head; that was far too long.

His gaze then shifted aside. Enough people had come this time. After losing to him, the members of Thousand Caves Door would surely challenge him to debate again.

Instead of engaging in debates with different people over and over, wasting time, it was better to solve them all at once.

Cao Zhen gazed towards Elder Huan Kong and suddenly spoke, "If there are any others from Thousand Caves Door who wish to challenge me in a debate, no matter if it is Alchemy Dao, Talisman, Formation, Military Law... just come forth. I’ll be here waiting, have them all come together!"
