My Master Knows It All

469: Chapter 175 The Gathering of Heroes in Xiandu_5 469: Chapter 175 The Gathering of Heroes in Xiandu_5 His own daughter was also a genius; it made no sense for others to have their breakthroughs and not her.

Who could have thought that the old Yi Family would produce a master of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection!

Although it was his daughter, what did that matter?

As long as the daughter had not married out, she would still belong to the Yi Family.

Or maybe he could find a son-in-law who would join the family?

He had no idea if such a thing as marrying into the wife’s family existed among cultivators.

Yi Qiancheng thought about many things for a while.

At this time, within the Capital City, cultivators one by one looked far into the direction of the Yi Mansion.

Gradually.

Yi Qiancheng did not know how much time had passed.

He had not felt anything when the others followed Peak Master Cao into the room, but after his daughter entered, he felt as if time were moving incredibly slowly.

He had not felt time passing so slowly in a long time; the last time was when he married his beautiful aunt, waiting for the wedding night.

“Creak…”

Suddenly, a soft sound was heard as the door was pushed open from the inside, and out walked an exhausted-looking Cao Zhen alongside Yi Sheng, whose face was flushed with red and seemed somewhat shy.

Yi Qiancheng was immediately stunned and pointed at the house asking, “How come…

the room didn’t explode?”

Cao Zhen nearly tripped over the threshold and looked at Yi Qiancheng, full of speechlessness.

Do you have too much money to spend or what?

Are you uncomfortable if a room doesn’t explode?

If you can’t spend your money, you can ask me for help.

After saying this, Yi Qiancheng seemed to realize he had lost his composure.

He adjusted his facial expression but could not hide the eagerness in his eyes as he asked his daughter, “Little Sheng, have you finished so quickly?

I mean, shouldn’t you have…”

“Did your senior brothers and sisters not emanate light when they all had their breakthrough?

How come there was no light from you?”

Yi Sheng sighed internally and explained, “Father, the senior brothers and sisters emitted light that soared into the sky and caused a Heavenly Phenomenon because they achieved the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

As for your daughter, it did not happen because I haven’t made the breakthrough to the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.”

“You didn’t have a breakthrough?

That…” Yi Qiancheng suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Although he was curious as to why others had accomplished their breakthroughs while his daughter had not, such questions couldn’t be directly asked.

His daughter had always been strong-willed.

If she hadn’t had a breakthrough, she must already be very heartbroken.

Asking her about it would be rubbing salt into the wound!

However, why didn’t his daughter have a breakthrough?

He did not voice his query, but his mind continuously pondered over this question.

If everyone else had a breakthrough and his daughter didn’t, could the reason be her master?

Was it because his daughter joined the sect late, so the bond between her and her master wasn’t as strong?

Or was it because her master was too exhausted from assisting several disciples in succession, leaving no energy for her breakthrough?

Maybe he should find an opportunity to suggest to his daughter to talk to her master, to let her teacher rest properly before trying again?

As if she knew what her father was thinking, Yi Sheng took the initiative to explain, “Father, I didn’t have a breakthrough because my talent doesn’t compare to that of my senior brothers and sisters.”

As she spoke, she sighed softly in her heart.

Indeed, she fell far short of her senior brothers and sisters.

She knew her master was not biased, but if everyone else had a breakthrough and only she did not, wouldn’t that mean her talent was insufficient?

Cao Zhen looked at Yi Sheng’s face, filled with self-blame and lack of confidence, and sighed internally.

His disciple, who was once so proud and confident, a very image of a domineering female CEO, had become this way after arriving at the Four Treasures Peak.

She had shifted from one extreme to another.

Initially, he worried about how to teach her not to be so confident, so arrogant.

But now, he wanted to restore her confidence.

Cao Zhen thought for a moment and comforted her, “Actually, you’re already doing very well.

The reason you haven’t had a breakthrough is that your cultivation realm was not as advanced as your senior brothers and sisters.”

They had already been at the peak of the Core Formation Stage before, and you had just entered the Core Formation Stage.

It was only natural that they barely managed a breakthrough while you did not, wasn’t it?

Moreover, how long have they been cultivating compared to you?

Think about it, you haven’t even been at Four Treasures Peak for a full year.

Among your fellow senior brothers and sisters, there are those who haven’t even formed their Immortal Bridge in their first year.

You are already doing quite well.”

Isn’t Yi Sheng a genius?

Clearly not!

If she isn’t a genius, then I’m afraid there are very few geniuses in this world.

If she wasn’t a genius, then all the Peak Masters of the Hundred Peaks Sect wouldn’t have shamelessly fought over her to take her on as a Disciple.

The reason she didn’t make a breakthrough this time was firstly because her Cultivation Realm was indeed lower.

More importantly, she is an Immortal Body, but Ling Xi and the others are Ancient Immortal Bodies.

Though Ancient Immortal Bodies cannot cultivate on their own, once they deceive the Heavenly Dao and break the shackles binding them, upon using Pills to enhance their strength, the terrifying nature of the Ancient Immortal Body is fully revealed!

Of course, that’s not to say Yi Sheng has no advantages.

On the contrary, Yi Sheng has a significant advantage over her senior brothers and sisters.

That is, Yi Sheng can cultivate and break through on her own, whereas her senior brothers and sisters cannot achieve a breakthrough without Pills!

Yi Sheng, looking at her master who kept praising her talent, felt incredibly moved.

Even though she hadn’t performed as well as her senior brothers and sisters, her master still comforted her like this.

Actually, her master didn’t need to comfort her like this.

She knew that it was all her own fault.

If her talent wasn’t good enough, then she would just have to work even harder, cultivate even more diligently, and try to catch up with her senior brothers and sisters.

Yi Qiancheng, upon hearing Cao Zhen’s explanation, finally understood why his daughter hadn’t made a breakthrough.

It was because she had joined the sect for a short time and originally had a low cultivation base.

But…

He asked somewhat curiously, “Little Sheng, what is your current Cultivation Realm?”

“Eightfold Golden Core,” Yi Sheng replied, afraid her father wouldn’t understand, she added, “It means, daughter has already formed eight Golden Cores, and each one is a Phenomenal Golden Core.”

“Eight Golden Cores, all Phenomenal?” Yi Qiancheng’s face lit up with joy and he laughed, “That means, daughter, you only need two more Phenomenal Golden Cores to reach the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

That’s not much more to go.”

He had initially thought his daughter was far behind others, but it turned out she was only two Golden Cores short.

On the side, Wu Jianzi and Lu Yiren listened to Yi Qiancheng’s words and nearly couldn’t resist telling this mortal about the gap between having eight Phenomenal Golden Cores and reaching the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

Do you know how difficult it is to form even one more Golden Core in the later stages of the Golden Core Phase?

Do you know that only the true geniuses among heavenly prides can form ten Golden Cores?

The majority of people are only able to form up to ten Golden Cores, let alone reach the perfection of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

However, when they thought about Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, and Bei Yan from earlier, they found themselves at a loss for words.

Looking at everything Peak Master Cao has done, all of his disciples have reached the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

It seems that for them, achieving the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection is the norm.

Forming two more Phenomenal Golden Cores seems to be genuinely not a significant issue for them.

How did Peak Master Cao manage to do it?

Meanwhile, Yi Qiancheng, seeing that his daughter’s enhancement was complete, took the initiative to invite, “Peak Master Cao, it’s getting late.

Why don’t we all have dinner together?”

“Sure, then I’ll trouble Family Head Yi,” Cao Zhen nodded lightly.

After enhancing several disciples, he was indeed tired.

It was a good time to rest and get back into his best condition.

As a leading wealthy family of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, the Yi Mansion’s prepared dinner was naturally not a simple fare like what one would expect from the Grand Preceptor’s everyday meal; it was a real feast.

Soon, dishes were served consecutively—each more lavish and exquisite than the last, surpassing even the Golden Core Club he attended at Vermilion Bird Peak!

During dinner, he learned of another matter through the conversation of those around him.

The current emperor had officially ascended the throne.
