Chapter 34: Arbitrary for Eternity
"Let's forget it." Cao Zhen took over the conversation and said, "I already have four disciples, and getting another disciple will actually make me busy one more? Even if we don't recruit disciples this year, Four Treasure Peak will not be expelled, right? "
"Old Cao, the body of the True Yang! It takes many years for so many Taoist temples to produce a Immortal-level one! And it comes from the Taoist temple where I am. This kind of opportunity to be close to the water is really rare!"
Seeing that Cao Zhen was about to give up, Chen Shizhi quickly began to persuade him, fearing that if Cao Zhen really gave up, wouldn't he be able to steal Cao Zhen's spiritual stone?
Bei Chenying also interjected at this time: "Immortal body is rare! If we can really establish a good relationship in advance, it will be good for Sibaofeng. I can sponsor a thousand taels of spirit stones as funds to establish a good relationship with the True Yang Body .”
One thousand taels of spirit stones! Chen Shizhi felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, such a huge sum of money! Even if I misrepresented it, even if they knew about it afterwards, they wouldn't dare to expose me! Because they violated the sect's rules first! What's more, this matter may not be discovered!
"Lao Cao, don't worry! That kid Guan Jingxin always listens to me." Chen Shizhi advised again, "As long as I bring your kindness to him to him again, he will definitely choose Sibaofeng."
"Forget it." Cao Zhen shook his head and said, "Although the top ten peaks cannot give him benefits now, we can give him a promise. That promise must be to sell my Four Treasure Peak, and no one else can give him more."
Chen Shizhi didn't want to give up the one thousand taels of spirit stones that he was about to get, but found that the others were nodding after hearing Cao Zhen's answer. He also knew that it would be useless if he continued like this, but he still muttered: "That kid still knows more. Listen to me, sir..."
After a banquet, Chen Shizhi left Sibaofeng with a puzzled heart. He couldn't understand why Cao Zhen didn't seem to be very interested in the True Yang Body, which was an Immortal Body.
Beichen Ying hurriedly went to the Dharma Protector Hall to apply for a token to leave the mountain again. He planned to wait until Cao Zhen taught him how to make alchemy, and then immediately go down the mountain to do it again! Plan carefully this time and get more gambling money! Prepare for the Hundred Peaks Rearrangement Conference.
Elder Tongdie drunkenly went to the grave of Master Cao Zhen. While crying, he lamented that Cao Zhen was successful. Although the subsequent rearrangement of the Hundred Peaks in Sibaofeng could not improve much, his own combat power increased by two. The top three still have a chance, and Si Baofeng is finally no longer the last one.
The five masters and disciples of Cao Zhen were once again left in the courtyard of Sibaofeng. The four disciples quickly cleaned up the garbage after the banquet.
Cao Zhenze returned to the room and began to take out a pen and paper to write down the elixir recipe, and began to calculate how much materials the Little Bodhi Pill would cost. His next step was to take medicine to condense the golden elixir. Before condensing the golden elixir, he still needed to practice various magical powers. The more magical powers are gathered into the golden elixir, the stronger the golden elixir's combat power will be.
After one night, Cao Zhen made a list and walked out of the room. He saw a young-looking disciple standing outside the far door. The word "Baifeng" embroidered on his chest meant that he was now serving all disciples of the Baifeng Sect. One of the rotating disciples.
Cao Zhen knew that the Hundred Peaks Sect had a rotating roster. The disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, including the peak master, would become rotating disciples or rotating peak masters almost every three years to work for other people in the Hundred Peaks Sect.
"Master Peak Master, the deacon of the Great Immortal Palace asks you to go there today." After the disciples on duty saluted Cao Zhen with clasped fists, they stood aside and waited for a response.
Great Immortal Palace? Only then did Cao Zhen remember through his memory that the Great Immortal Palace was a place that only the peak masters of the Hundred Peaks Sect could go to. It was the place where the peak masters held meetings and accepted tasks issued by the real master of the palm sect.
If it is necessary for a certain peak master to attend, the disciples on duty will definitely say that they must ‘must’ go! If there is no word "must", it means that in addition to notifying him, other peak masters have also been notified. Whoever does this matter is the one who gets it.
Of course, as long as you accept and complete the tasks of Master Zhangzong, you will still get corresponding good rewards.
It's just that Cao Zhen chose not to go every time he received the message, because 'he' had to be busy practicing kung fu to improve his cultivation level, and with his little cultivation level, he couldn't compete with others in the task. He always grabbed it. If you can’t get there, why go?
After a short period of thinking, Cao Zhen decided to stick to the character design of finally not attending the meeting and continue to stay in Sibaofeng to teach Lingxi so that he could master the Talisman Technique while studying the market of elixirs in Sibaofeng so that he could refine some points. Danduo makes money and buys more materials for his alchemy to improve his cultivation level.
"I have recently..."
call out!
The sharp sound of a sharp sword slashing through the air sounded from not far away! Along with the sound of sharp swords piercing the air, a depressing low pressure spread in the courtyard, interrupting what Cao Zhen was about to say to the disciples on duty.
Cao Zhen followed the sound of the sword and saw that Yan Yourong was wearing a close-fitting outfit today, showing off her good figure that was usually hidden, and the long sword in her hand was slashing down one after another with a killing intent.
At this moment, Cao Zhen remembered that Yan Yourong would go out to fight once a month after he traveled back in time. A few days before the fight, this disciple would always enter the state in advance and start preparing, but he never won every fight.
And every time Yan Yourong loses a fight, his mood becomes not so good.
In the past two months, Cao Zhen encountered this situation twice. Every time he saw the second disciple's gloomy and unhappy face, everyone in the entire Sibaofeng would subconsciously avoid her and give in to her.
Although Cao Zhen's cultivation level has greatly increased now, when he thinks that he may have to face low-pressure disciples again, he subconsciously feels a little headache.
"Master..." Bei Yan came to Cao Zhen and lowered his voice, "Let's not eat fish in the next few days..."
When Bei Yan said this, he kept looking at Yan Yourong secretly, and continued to lower his voice and said, "Second senior sister doesn't like eating fish very much. Let's not provoke her these days?"
Even Xiang Ziyu, who usually laughs when holding a book, rarely holds the book in his hands, but nods in cooperation seriously.
"Then it can't always be like this..." Cao Zhen replied quietly, "If she loses again..."
Yan Yourong's swing of the sword suddenly stopped, and two cold and sharp eyes struck him from across the air. Bei Yan was so frightened that he didn't care about the superiority of master and disciple. He covered Cao Zhen's mouth, fearing that the master would say something else. Those words that irritated Second Senior Sister.
When Cao Zhen felt Yan Yourong's eyes, he immediately shut up and pushed Bei Yan with his arm to run out of the yard. The two of them breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Bei Yan, go order a few more tables of good food in the next few days." Cao Zhen took out the spirit stone and said, "Let your senior sister eat better."
Bei Yan pushed the spirit stone back and said, "Master, it's good to eat at this time. Senior sister will ask, is it a celebration that she is about to lose?"
"So what's the difference?" Cao Zhen asked.
Bei Yan immediately shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, no, no! Senior sister will say, what? Just give me this? Don't you want me to win the fight?"
"Then just drink more hot water!" Cao Zhen sighed with a headache. Didn't female practitioners slay dragons after building the foundation? Why are you still as difficult to take care of as your aunt?
"What does drinking hot water mean?" Bei Yan asked in confusion, "Master, does this work?"
"What the hell! This is what you would say if you want to seek death." Cao Zhen patted Bei Yan's little head and said, "Okay, your senior sister is just unhappy because she failed in the fight. Then let her win." !”
Bei Yan curled his lips and spread his hands and said, "How can we win? I heard that my senior sister occasionally mentioned that my opponent already has eight Taoist platforms."
"Then just let your senior sister go to the Immortal Bridge Realm." Cao Zhen touched Bei Yan's head again, "As a teacher, I will go to the Great Immortal Palace first and take care of your senior sister's matter of improving her cultivation."
"Master..." In Bei Yan's big and smart eyes, apart from suspicion, there was only a taste of distrust: "Master, you are not trying to find an excuse to run away, are you?"
"Is Master like that kind of person?" Cao Zhen quickly raised his face and showed the majesty of a master to this young apprentice, "The Great Immortal Palace is looking for me as a master, how can I not go as a master?"
"Master, I heard from my senior sister that the Great Immortal Palace has been looking for you many times in the past few years, but you have never been there." Bei Yan said in a low voice with the majesty of his master, "Why do you suddenly want to go this time? Besides...you are the only one I don’t feel at ease when you go out, so I’d better let you stay by your side to serve you.”
"Who are you going to serve at such a young age?" Lingxi walked out of the yard, showing off the majesty of senior sister and said, "You can practice well at home, senior sister, it's better for me to serve the master."
"Senior Sister..." Bei Yan quickly wanted to retort. After all, staying in this courtyard and facing Second Senior Sister was too much pressure.
"Yourong..." Lingxi immediately turned around and shouted to Yan Yourong, who was practicing swordplay with a cold face in the yard, "Xiao Beiyan doesn't want to practice hard."
Then two dissatisfied and cold eyes passed through the courtyard door and fell on Bei Yan.
No words were needed, just a look, and Bei Yan lowered his head obediently. The biggest difference between the second senior sister and the master is that the master only educates verbally, while the second senior sister can really do it.
Cao Zhen originally wanted to ask Lingxi to stay and teach her how to refine the talismans, but he found that the disciple was looking like "Master, if you keep me here, this disciple will also find a way to keep you here" , looking at myself.
This is a look of death together!
"Since Lingxi still knows how to serve others, let Lingxi follow me as my master." Cao Zhen immediately compromised, turned around and said to the waiting disciples on duty, "I happened to feel that I should do something for the sect recently. If you make some contribution, I will go to the Great Immortal Palace with you."
"Master, just don't worry. Second Senior Sister will definitely be fine this time." Xiang Ziyu held the book and said without raising his head, "I am the protagonist! Master sensed that I was about to rise, so Master took the lead in rising." It’s your turn to rise up from now on, and in the end it’s my turn to rise up in a shocking way! I will be dictatorial for all eternity!”
Cao Zhen secretly decided that after finishing this matter, he must take this third apprentice to have a brain check.
