My Master Knows It All

352: Chapter 155 The Spirit a Cultivator Should Have_5 352: Chapter 155 The Spirit a Cultivator Should Have_5 Moreover, they had said before that he was the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak.

I am somewhat familiar with the Hundred Peaks Sect.

In our time, Four Treasures Peak was ranked last among the peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect, and for countless ages before us, Four Treasures Peak had always been at the bottom.

It stands to reason that even now, Four Treasures Peak is still the lowest-ranked peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect; otherwise, with such weak cultivation, he couldn’t possibly become the Peak Master of a peak.

“Do you really believe that a Peak Master of the lowest-ranked peak in the Hundred Peaks Sect could refine a Calamity Avoidance Pill?

Or even refine a special Lifespan Extension Pill?

He’s clearly deceiving you, tricking you into letting him go.

As soon as he leaves, he will immediately report this matter to the imperial court.”

“How could Peak Master Cao be skilled in alchemy!” Lan Pili finally understood why Cao Zhen had wanted to see the other’s Qiankun Bag and examine their materials, and he hurriedly shouted, “Although the Four Treasures Peak where Peak Master Cao resides is indeed the Hundredth Peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect, its strength is not representative of the Hundredth Peak.

This fact can be confirmed by anyone from the Hundred Peaks Sect.

The reason Peak Master Cao’s peak is ranked as the Hundredth Peak is merely due to some accidents.

As for the alchemy you mentioned, everyone in the Hundred Peaks Sect knows that Peak Master Cao is proficient in alchemy.

Even the disciples of Peak Master Cao are well-known alchemy masters within the Hundred Peaks Sect.

This can also be verified by anyone from the Hundred Peaks Sect.

As for Peak Master Cao himself, he is the most skilled in alchemy of all the people I have ever seen.

Within the Hundred Peaks Sect, not a single person could match Peak Master Cao in the art of alchemy.”

Cao Zhen’s alchemical skills were already publicly recognized within the Hundred Peaks Sect.

First of all, Cao Zhen had refined pills before battling others, and everyone already knew this.

Secondly, if Cao Zhen could not perform alchemy, then how would his disciples know how to?

However, exactly how skilled Cao Zhen was at alchemy, he truly did not know.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to boast, and the more he could aggrandize Cao Zhen, the better.

No, Peak Master Cao must be extremely skilled in alchemy.

His disciples are already so powerful, so Peak Master Cao’s alchemy must be even stronger.

It must be so!

As Lan Pili spoke, he even convinced himself, and raising one hand high, he declared, “I, Lan Pili, swear on my life that Peak Master Cao can perform alchemy, and he is an Alchemy Master!”

What is the highest level of boasting?

It is to boast so convincingly that even you believe it yourself.

Only if you believe it can others believe you.

Jue Ying believed it.

He believed that as a disciple of one of the top ten Immortal Sects, Lan Pili would not make a vow on his life so lightly.

Furthermore, given that Cao Zhen was able to accurately determine from the multitude of materials that eighty percent were ingredients for the Calamity Avoidance Pill, he believed it.

In the distance, the voice from the coffin still did not give up, and once again came through, temptingly saying, “Can you trust their oaths?

They are just trying to survive now.

If you believe them, you will be deceived.”

“Our words cannot be trusted?

And your words can be trusted?” Lan Pili, for the first time since his arrival here, directly confronted the voice inside the coffin and called out, “Regardless of anything else, we are from one of the top ten Immortal Sects.

Dao Companion Jue Ying, as a disciple of one of the top ten Immortal Sects, should know the reputation and the commitment of our sect’s disciples.”

Instead, what about you?

How credible are your words?”

As Lan Pili spoke, he looked at Jue Ying and said, “They had previously promised to help you—that’s what you said yourself.

But what did they say today?

If we are not left behind, all the conditions they promised before will be voided.

If they can say such things today, tomorrow they may demand you to do other things under the guise of helping you, threatening you continuously.

“Can you still trust such people?

Do you think that after they get out, they will truly help you?”

Jue Ying nodded heavily, and compared with the Corpse General in the coffin who had gone back on his word, he was indeed more inclined to believe the two from the top ten Immortal Sects.

The Corpse General in the coffin seemed to realize that Jue Ying was leaning towards believing Cao Zhen and his companion, and quickly spoke up, “Do you really want to let them go?

Do you think you can rest easy after letting them escape?

“Do you believe that after everything that’s happened, nobody will find out?

What about the three disciples of the Dharma Apex Sect who died?

They died, do you think the Dharma Apex Sect won’t investigate?

“They died under your watch; will you not be held responsible?

When the Dharma Apex Sect comes seeking justice, what will you do then?

“Moreover, many civilians have died here.

Your Grand Preceptor has said before that the lives of mortals and cultivators are equal.

Do you think with so many mortal deaths, the Grand Preceptor will let you off?”

As the words ended, Jue Ying hesitated again—the other was right, with so many dead, he indeed would have a hard time settling the matter, but…

While he hesitated, the other’s voice came once more.

“The only one you can rely on now is us.

You help me keep these two here, and later, we will shift all the blame to them.

It was they who killed the Dharma Apex Sect’s people.

That is indeed the fact.

Later on, I can even tamper with evidence to make it seem that the civilians also died because of these two.”

Upon hearing this, Lan Pili disdainfully said, “What can you do?

You, a corpse lying inside a coffin, do you think you can deceive the Grand Preceptor or fool the top ten Immortal Sects?”
