My Master Knows It All

She didn't care about the excuses Cao Zhen might have; she was concerned about the cultivation technique.

She wondered what secret technique Dragon Senior had brought out that Cao Zhen would choose this moment to impart it to everyone.

Back during the competition at Hundred Peaks, if she hadn't cultivated the Gold Light Spell taught by Dragon Senior, she doubtfully could have defeated Nie Jie and claimed the first place.

"This cultivation technique is called 'Eight Nine Mysterious Art,'" Cao Zhen began with a grave expression, "This divine skill encompasses all phenomena and possesses a variety of wondrous abilities. Moreover, it is unrivaled in the arts of body refining."

"Body refining?" Li Ke slightly raised her willow eyebrows, and a hint of disappointment appeared on her delicate face. She was already at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection—what use did body refining divine techniques have for her?

Not just Li Ke, the other girls also showed looks of disappointment.

Only Xiang Ziyu appeared interested as he looked at his master.

The problem was that Xiang Ziyu was interested in all sorts of strange and unusual cultivation techniques. His fascination suggested he thought of body refining divine skills as part of these oddities.

"Do you perhaps have some misunderstanding about body refining?"

Cao Zhen looked at the crowd and said, "You look down on body refining divine skills? Do you know what will happen when you achieve great mastery of the 'Eight Nine Mysterious Art' I am teaching you?"

At that point, you will achieve an indestructible spirit, and your physical body will be immortal, akin to undying and unperishable!

As for functions like invulnerability and immunity to all poisons, those aren't even worth mentioning.

The crowd looked at Cao Zhen skeptically, wondering if body refining could truly be a divine skill—could it be that miraculous? Was it still considered a divine body refining skill?

None of them had ever heard of a body refining cultivation technique—or divine skill—that was so potent.

In the realm of immortal cultivation, naturally there were body refining techniques and divine skills.

However, body refining divine skills were almost exclusively cultivated at the beginning, in order to build a strong foundation.

Generally speaking, once reaching the Core Formation Stage, cultivators would not focus much on body refining techniques, unless they were those with unique cultivations who relied on their physical bodies for battle.

After all, starting from the Core Formation Stage, the focus shifted to the cultivation of their cores, which would affect the subsequent development of their Golden Cores.

And the Golden Core, in turn, would influence the path to becoming an immortal.

As for body refining?

Honestly speaking, body refining was certainly useful and could increase one's physical strength, but how much more could it truly add?

Furthermore, everyone possessed divine skills—if your physical strength was strong but you couldn't avoid the divine skills, how could you withstand them with physical strength alone?

Take Xiang Ziyu for example; his physical strength was already formidable, but when had he ever foregone protective divine powers and directly withstood someone's divine skill attacks with his body?

In the realm of immortal cultivation, the consensus was that instead of wasting time, energy, and resources on cultivating body refining techniques, it would be better to cultivate a divine skill or to research a secret technique.

After all, body refining techniques weren't simply a matter of standing under certain waterfalls or cultivating relentless challenges beneath the so-called Trapped Dragon Rocks.

In the early stages, body refining didn't require much, but as it progressed, it increasingly demanded various herbs and pill resources, which was a substantial consumption.

In short, after the Core Formation Stage, not many people would bother with body refining.

Moreover, after the Core Formation Stage, as one's cultivation base increased, the strength of their physical body would also naturally improve.

Like someone who had reached the Ten Different Phenomena of the Golden Elixir Great Perfection—they wouldn't need to cultivate any specific body refining techniques, and when facing someone from the Immortal Bridge Period, even if that person continuously cultivated body refining techniques, no matter how profound, they couldn't compare to the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Perfection cultivator's physical strength.

Cao Zhen looked at the crowd's doubtful eyes, feeling a surge of indignation. Do you know how many people wish but fail to learn this 'Eight Nine Mysterious Art'? I kindly pass on such a formidable divine skill to you, and you still have complaints.

You have objections, right?

Even if you're reluctant, you will have to cultivate it!

"You few have disappointed me as a master. Have you forgotten how I taught you in the beginning? How many times have I told you, you must equip all six gods and after fully preparing your weapons, then go out and venture.

But look at you—since the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth and after becoming Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Perfections, you... Little Beiyan, don't speak, you and a Wind Fire Tribulation are hardly any different.

Look at what you've all become. Let me ask you—who among you has fully prepared? Who is completely equipped? To be completely equipped, you must first have life-saving divine gear. Your attacks may be powerful, but how many life-saving methods do you have?

Why do I want to teach you 'Eight Nine Mysterious Art'? Is it not because I want you to have more ways to save your lives?"

"Master, I was wrong!" Ling Xi immediately prostrated, worshipping on the ground.

Seeing this familiar gesture from Ling Xi, Cao Zhen suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he last saw Ling Xi kneeling before him like this.

"Alright, since you know your mistake, then get up and listen to your master carefully. And Zhu Peng, hmm... who used to teach Zhu Peng before?"

Zhu Peng was special; the normal methods for teaching others probably wouldn't work with him.

While she rose to her feet, Ling Xi answered, "Master, we have all taught Zhu Peng, but my sister and I did so less frequently. The third and fourth disciples taught him more."
