My Master Knows It All

883: Chapter 247 883: Chapter 247 Even though Cao Zhen had only met Ling Hu Gudu after entering the ruins, he had a high regard for him, and Ling Hu Gudu was indeed very strong.

Now upon hearing that Ling Hu Gudu intended to leave, Cao Zhen instinctively invited him to their Hundred Peaks Sect.

Of course, what he suggested was for Ling Hu Gudu to visit the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Whether Ling Hu Gudu would stay or not would depend on their abilities.

Ling Hu Gudu seemed to understand what Cao Zhen meant and gently shook his head in refusal, “Forget it.

In my life, I have no other hobbies.

I have only one passion, and that is to travel throughout the entire world.

I am far from having traveled everywhere.

If I go to the Hundred Peaks Sect now, I’m afraid I might end up staying there.

Maybe someday, after I’ve traveled the world and when I grow tired, I might visit your Hundred Peaks Sect.”

“That’s also fine.

Perhaps, by the time you have wandered the world before you come to the Hundred Peaks Sect, I will have left the sect to wander the world just like you.”

Cao Zhen felt the gains of this period in Xu Family Village and knew in his heart that one day he too would leave the Hundred Peaks Sect to travel alone, to experience different people, different lives, to understand what the world is, what a prosperous age is.

“Alright, perhaps we don’t know where we will meet again, so I’ll take my leave first,” Ling Hu Gudu called out as he prepared to leave.

But suddenly, Cao Zhen spoke up, “Wait a moment.

I owe you a great deal for what happened in the ruins.

Without you, I wouldn’t have obtained the final treasure of the ruins.

And you didn’t really get a share of it.”

Ling Hu Gudu’s face, which still bore the colors of farewell, suddenly revealed a cunning smile akin to that of a crafty merchant, “So, you’re going to compensate me by giving me some treasures, right?

How righteous of you.

Actually, I’m easily satisfied.

Any of those heavenly materials and earthly treasures will do.”

Cao Zhen’s face immediately darkened.

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures— when he didn’t even have any, how could he provide them?

Speaking of which, having received the Prosperous Age Skills and the Prosperous Age Picture Record, it wouldn’t be too much to give Ling Hu Gudu some heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

But since he didn’t have any, he could only give something else.

“I don’t have any heavenly materials and earthly treasures on me either.

How about this: I’ll give you two Divine Skills first?

Also, whenever you face Heavenly Tribulation or if there comes a time when you need Pills, just go to the Hundred Peaks Sect or have someone notify me at the Hundred Peaks Sect, and I will do my best to refine the Pill that you need.”

“If you say so, then I won’t be polite,” Ling Hu Gudu knew that even though Cao Zhen’s promise to refine Pills seemed somewhat airy and hard to pin down, not knowing when he might need them, the real point was the Pills themselves.

From his prior interaction with Ling Xi, he knew that Cao Zhen was particularly adept at Alchemy.

Additionally, he had heard before that Cao Zhen excelled at Alchemy.

As a reincarnation of a being with Great Ability, to what terrifying extent had Cao Zhen’s Alchemy Dao reached?

The Pills he agreed to were not specified; it meant that any Pill that he requested could be refined.

Seeing Ling Hu Gudu agreeing, Cao Zhen continued, “I observed the phenomenon of your Golden Core, which is related to water, so I will impart to you two Divine Skills.

One of them is named ‘Go with the Flow,’ and the other Divine Skill is ‘Devour like a Silkworm, Swallow like a Whale.’

Ling Hu Gudu quickly realized the strength of one reincarnated with Great Ability.

He had seen that Cao Zhen doesn’t particularly excel in Divine Skills related to water—the same goes for Yan Yourong, who is adept at the Five Elements, not just water Divine Skills.

He noticed that even though Cao Zhen wasn’t specifically skilled in water Divine Skills, the two Divine Skills that Cao Zhen transmitted to him, although he had yet to cultivate them, already felt magical and powerful.

Considering these Divine Skills made him feel like following Cao Zhen to the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Truly worthy of being a reincarnated being with Great Ability.

Nevertheless, Ling Hu Gudu still left.

Following his departure, Cao Zhen turned to Qiao Jingyao and Ling Xi, who were by his side, and said, “I must trouble you two next.”

Although his injuries had healed quite a bit, they were not yet fully recovered, so navigating the Flying Boat relied on Ling Xi and Qiao Jingyao.

Ling Xi had already learned that her master had encountered Qiao Jingyao and was not surprised by it.

Qiao Jingyao, too, was not surprised by Ling Xi’s arrival.

She knew that a big Immortal Sect like the Hundred Peaks Sect would have a Sect’s chart, and Cao Zhen, as the Sect Leader, would certainly not lack such a chart.

It must have been Cao Zhen who used the Sect’s chart to inform Ling Xi to come here.

After the group traveled some distance, Cao Zhen then released the Flying Boat, which was navigated by Ling Xi and Qiao Jingyao as they flew off towards the distance.

Qili Country was not vast; it didn’t even take a day for the group to fly out of Qili Country, heading towards the far-off lands.

Alone in his room, Cao Zhen took out the Prosperous Age Picture Record and a writing brush.

Actually, he should have started painting the Prosperous Age Picture Record long ago, but his injuries hindered him, which naturally would affect his level of painting.

Emperor Skywind once said that the level of painting on the Prosperous Age Picture Record also influences its power.

Now, although his injuries had not fully healed, they would not affect the level of his painting.

Since arriving in this world, Cao Zhen had painted several pieces, each causing amazement among others.

This time, however, he was more cautious than ever before.
