My Master Knows It All

68: Chapter 64 Hundred Peaks Call-to-Order_1 68: Chapter 64 Hundred Peaks Call-to-Order_1 Lv Chaoqiong was tempted!

Which practitioner of Immortal Cultivation doesn’t lack a few pills?

Just then, a paper crane flying messenger arrived, interrupting Lv Chaoqiong’s attempt to initiate a conversation.

“True Person Bai Fengzi of the Sect Leader has issued an order, all Peak Masters must immediately go to the Conference Hall.

Peak Master Cao, cease your cultivation at Hidden Dragon Observatory for now, and come over after the meeting.”

After delivering its message, the paper crane transformed into a gigantic one and landed on the ground, apparently ready to serve as their means of transport.

Cao Zhen unwillingly stared at a medicine chest on the wall filled with Spiritual Medicine, fearing that if he was called to the meeting now, the rules of Hidden Dragon Observatory might be changed by the time he returned!

The reason why the Observatory Master remained so calm now must be that they were unaware of how many materials he had consumed.

“Peak Master…” Lv Chaoqiong saluted Cao Zhen with a fist and palm and said, “True Person Sect Leader is waiting.”

“Actually…

it doesn’t really matter if a low-ranking Peak Master like me attends or not,” Cao Zhen strived to find an excuse to stay, “Our kind of bottom-ranking Peaks, we don’t hold much status within Hundred Peaks, and our opinions don’t carry much weight, going or not, it’s all the same…”

“That won’t do,” Lv Chaoqiong interrupted Cao Zhen’s excuses, “In our Hundred Peaks Sect, all Hundred Peaks are branches linked by the same spirit.

Although each Peak’s strength may vary, the status is equal.

The Peak Master of the First Peak and the Peak Master of the Hundredth Peak are both Peak Masters; no one has higher status than the other.”

As Cao Zhen faced a vast amount of medicines and still wanted to struggle, Lv Chaoqiong continued, “Besides, our Hundred Peaks Sect has rules.

When the Sect Leader True Person issues a Hundred Peaks Call-to-Order, even those in closed-door cultivation must temporarily stop…”

“I know, I know…” Cao Zhen interrupted Lv Chaoqiong, sat down abruptly on the paper crane, and said, “I’ll just go, then.”

Watching the paper crane ascend, Lv Chaoqiong walked towards Gu Chengyu with a smile and said, “I never expected our Hundred Peaks Sect to have such a strong Alchemy Grandmaster.

This is heartening…”

Gu Chengyu forced a smile, thinking inwardly: If you see the amount of materials consumed later, I hope you can continue to be heartened.

Lv Chaoqiong had already come to the wall of medicines and continued, “Elder Gu, did you take a good look at the Spiritual Medicine materials that Peak Master Cao used earlier?

Let’s record the Pill Prescription first, and ask him for the Alchemy Technique later.

In this way, in the future, when disciples enter our Hidden Dragon Observatory, we can refine one for each of them.”

“Ten petals of the Five Hundred Year Purple Wood Lotus…” Gu Chengyu began to recall the materials Cao Zhen had taken earlier.

“Five Hundred Year Purple Wood Lotus?

And ten petals?” Lv Chaoqiong propped his chin with his hand, wearing a contemplative expression, “It seems quite expensive.

In that case, it’s better to refine one only for each elite disciple of Hidden Dragon Observatory.”

“Five roots of the Seven Hundred Year Purple Jade Dragon King Ginseng, Fifteen Thousand Month Sparrow Tail Flowers, Thirty-Two Six Hundred Year Earth Crystal Fruits, and Nine Stalks of the Thousand Year Sky Cloud Mushroom from the Snow Mountains in Beimang…” Gu Chengyu continued to list the materials.

Lv Chaoqiong looked at Gu Chengyu incredulously, his face full of question marks, already deciding in his heart that only the Hidden Dragon Three Sons of each generation would be qualified to receive such a pill, since the materials were too costly.

Yet very soon, as Gu Chengyu showed no sign of stopping, continuing to reel off various materials,

As time went on, Lv Chaoqiong began to doubt whether Gu Chengyu was actually listing the materials used by Cao Zhen for his alchemy and couldn’t help saying, “Gu Chengyu, I asked you to report the materials consumed by Cao Zhen for his pill refining, not to list how many types and quantities of materials there are in the Five-Element Pill Ground…”

“I am reporting the exact amount of materials used for the pill that Cao Zhen refined, not the types and quantities of materials from the Five-Element Pill Ground,” Gu Chengyu replied seriously, continuing with his tally of the material names and amounts.

Lv Chaoqiong felt his chest grow tight, his heart ached, and his vision began to blur…

Walking into the Conference Hall of Divine Immortal Hall on Ascension Peak with a heavy heart for not having gained more advantage, Cao Zhen joined the meeting of Peak Masters.

Chairs for each of the Peak Masters were already filled in the hall, with ninety-nine of the hundred seats meant for the Peak Masters now occupied, only the one placed in the farthest corner, belonging to Cao Zhen, remained empty.

As Cao Zhen appeared at the entrance of the hall, everyone immediately focused their attention on him.

“My apologies, everyone, for being late,” Cao Zhen hurriedly bowed with his fists clenched and made his way to his chair.

“Oh, isn’t this the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak?

You strut around after a trip to the Hidden Dragon Observatory, huh?

Did you do it on purpose, to make a grand entrance?” A voice laced with sarcasm and provocation suddenly rang out in the hall just as Cao Zhen’s behind had yet to touch his chair.

Cao Zhen discovered that the speaker was actually the Peak Master who sat in the second chair position, and he was very curious if he had ever offended the Peak Master of Five Elements Peak.

That’s impossible!

He had never even met the other party!

Could it be the original owner of this body?

But that shouldn’t be the case either!

There were no such memories!

Many other Peak Masters were also curious why the Peak Master of the second-ranked peak would pick on the Master of a lower-ranked peak.

What exactly was the reason?

The Peak Master of Seven Star Peak from the ninety-ninth peak, Deng Qixing, whose seat was next to Cao Zhen’s, was the first to ask in a low voice, echoing the curiosity of everyone present, “Peak Master Cao, how did you offend this Qiu Wuxing?

He is known for being petty!”

“His name is Qiu Wuxing?

I don’t even know him!” Cao Zhen, hearing that the other party was petty, felt an even bigger headache.

Aren’t others supposed to level up by defeating monsters step by step?

How could he just have turned his luck around a bit, yet already be facing confrontation with the second-ranked peak’s person?

Qiu Wuxing, feeling the many inquisitive eyes from the crowd, was also extremely vexed.

This reason for disliking the other party…

it wasn’t convenient to disclose!

Personal vault!

That’s right!

As Qiu Wuxing thought of his entire personal vault being wiped out, he seethed with rage!

He had heard a few days ago that the hundredth peak had a conflict with the ninety-fifth peak, so he made it a point to find out more and realized that this Four Treasures Peak Master couldn’t even defeat the Senior Disciple of Starshine Peak.

So, what was there to hesitate about?

Of course, he bet all his money on Starshine Peak winning!

The result was that his personal vault, accumulated over many years behind his fierce wife’s back, had vanished just like that!

The personal vault is many a man’s last line of defense and dignity!

As the saying goes, blocking someone’s livelihood is akin to killing their parents!

So how grave is the sin of eradicating someone’s personal vault?

“I just think that everyone’s time is very precious.

He was late by a quarter of an hour, causing each of us to lose a quarter of an hour.

With ninety-nine people, that’s a loss of ninety-nine quarters,” Qiu Wuxing could not speak his true thoughts and had to make up an excuse on the spot.

“You’re right, my mistake.

My apologies, everyone,” Cao Zhen knew that according to the rules of the Hundred Peaks Sect, the other party couldn’t do much to him, but he still didn’t want to dwell on this issue.

The longer he spent here, the smaller the chance of getting more from the Hidden Dragon Observatory.

If there was enough time, he planned to rush back and concoct another batch of Dragon and Tiger Golden Pills, then he would be able to make an attempt to reach the Golden Core Stage!

Qiu Wuxing was not ready to let Cao Zhen off so easily, and was about to speak up again, but someone else beat him to it.

“Are all the Peak Masters present?

Then how about we begin the meeting?”

As a pleasant female voice resounded, all hundred Peak Masters in the hall rose to their feet and bowed to the Sect Leader with their fists clasped, saying, “We pay our respects to the True Person, Sect Leader.”

Cao Zhen also followed suit in the salutations and found that he was actually meeting and recognizing for the first time that the Sect Leader of Hundred Peaks Sect, Bai Fengzi, was, in fact, a very beautiful woman.

“Peak Masters, please be seated,” the True Person Bai Fengzi gestured for everyone to sit down.

“The reason for calling everyone here is that we have three issues that have come together, and I need to discuss them with you all.”

After everyone sat down, Bai Fengzi continued, “As you all may feel, the first Spiritual Tide has appeared.

Although this Spiritual Tide is very weak, it has indeed emerged…”

Many Peak Masters’ expressions immediately became solemn.
