My Master Knows It All

1386: Chapter 332_3 1386: Chapter 332_3 He discovered that disciples from the Great Teachings, sect disciples, and even ordinary mortals were all the same—they loved to watch a spectacle.

After learning about his gamble with Luo Zhen over three treasures, every single disciple of the Dragon Chant Sect decided to follow him, whether they understood alchemy or not, just to watch the drama unfold.

He simply couldn’t understand it.

This wasn’t a duel—what was so interesting about alchemy?

The pill furnaces inside the Fire Dragon Pill Land were indeed far more numerous than the ones in the Five-Element Pill Ground.

Cao Zhen swept his gaze across them, quickly focusing on three particular pill furnaces.

Behind him, the nine abnormal phenomenon golden pills materialized.

Compared to usual, their glow had dimmed significantly.

One of the golden pills shone faintly for a brief moment, and three clusters of flames shot out from it, falling separately into the three furnaces, igniting them simultaneously.

The crowd was instantly dumbfounded.

“He lit three furnaces?”

“What’s he trying to do?”

“Does he just want to see which furnace suits him better?”

Very quickly, however, they realized they were entirely mistaken.

After the flames in the furnaces reached a certain temperature, Cao Zhen immediately took out medicinal ingredients and threw them into the three furnaces respectively.

“What’s going on?”

“Wasn’t he supposed to pick one furnace?

Why is he throwing ingredients into all three of them?”

“Wait, what is he trying to do?

Does he intend to simultaneously refine pills in all three furnaces?”

“Three furnaces of pills?

He couldn’t refine a single batch successfully!

Look at how he’s throwing the ingredients—he didn’t even measure their weight!

The weight of each ingredient must be precisely measured, even the slightest discrepancy would completely alter the outcome.”

“How could anyone multitask and simultaneously refine pills in three furnaces?

Unless it’s the most basic and low-level pills, but those three pills are undoubtedly top-tier!”

“This is nothing but a waste of ingredients!”

The crowd, upon witnessing Cao Zhen’s actions, began shouting loudly, their voices full of indignation.

These ingredients belonged to their Dragon Chant Sect!

When they thought about how Cao Zhen would soon fail at alchemy and lose three treasures to Luo Zhen, their moods lightened a little.

Seeing Cao Zhen’s actions, Luo Zhen’s face immediately showed dissatisfaction.

After all, he had provided these ingredients.

For Cao Zhen to refine pills in such a reckless manner—it was practically a waste of his ingredients.

He…

Actually, maybe not.

Cao Zhen had made such a mess already.

Forget about merging the three types of pills—Cao Zhen wouldn’t even successfully refine a single batch.

Cao Zhen was bound to lose.

If he lost, those three treasures would be his.

That would be a good thing!

Thinking this way, Luo Zhen suddenly felt much better.

He took out his own pill furnace, happily igniting the flame to begin refining pills.

He now felt that his earlier thoughts had been completely unnecessary.

Looking at Cao Zhen’s current actions, how could he resemble an alchemy master at all?

He didn’t even have his own pill furnace and had to rely on the Dragon Chant Sect’s furnaces.

Not only that, he lit three furnaces at once!

Although his fire-starting technique looked fairly skilled, the way he threw in ingredients was completely random.

If Cao Zhen could actually refine pills this way, Luo Zhen swore he’d swallow all three furnaces!

Cao Zhen paid no attention to the jeering from the crowd as he swiftly tossed ingredient after ingredient into the three furnaces.

To be honest, refining these three types of pills simultaneously would have been fine if he were at his peak condition.

However, given his current physical state, it was undeniably exhausting.

Especially since one of the pills, the Heaven and Earth Transformation Pill, demanded extremely precise flame control and constant adjustments to the temperature of the flames—truly a tedious task.

Meanwhile, the Void Spirit Replenishment Pill required many ingredients, which was also troublesome.

But he didn’t have any other choice—he couldn’t refine one batch of pills at a time, that would waste far too much time.

He needed to recover from his injuries quickly so that he could resume cultivation and strive to reach the Golden Core Period Limit as soon as possible.

At the moment, without having reached the Golden Core Period Limit, he felt uneasy.

Everyone knew he wasn’t in the Hundred Peaks Sect, and the sect only had two cultivators at the Golden Core Period Limit.

Their sect had made many enemies in the past, and if anyone decided to target the Hundred Peaks Sect, what would happen?

He couldn’t feel secure until he restored himself to the Golden Core Period Limit.

In fact, to speed up the pill refining process, he even took some volatile ingredients from the Dragon Chant Sect’s treasury to accelerate the pills’ formation.

Several ingredients were thrown into the furnaces, instantly catching Wen Dan’s attention as he stood to the side.

When he saw Cao Zhen simultaneously tossing ingredients into three furnaces earlier, Wen Dan had already concluded that Cao Zhen was doomed to fail in alchemy.

Nonetheless, he hadn’t immediately left, since Cao Zhen wouldn’t take long to fail anyway—waiting for a bit wouldn’t hurt.

But now, what was Cao Zhen throwing in?

What kind of ingredients were these?

“Fire Fury Grass?

Earth Burst Fruit, and Raging Sun Flower?

Those ingredients aren’t required for refining any of the three pills.

Why is he throwing them in?”

Wen Dan couldn’t help exclaiming, “Those are all volatile ingredients!

Using ingredients like that, forget about refining pills—those furnaces will explode in no time!”

Hearing Wen Dan’s words, Luo Zhen also raised his head in surprise to glance at Cao Zhen.

Didn’t Cao Zhen know which ingredients were necessary for alchemy?

Why were even those unnecessary ingredients being thrown in?

Next to Wen Dan, a curious disciple from the Holy Pill Sect asked, “Master Wen, do those ingredients serve no purpose at all?

If the furnaces are going to explode, should we step back a bit?”

“Indeed, they are meaningless.

As for the furnace explosion… within approximately the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the first furnace will explode.

Regarding the blast’s power, there’s no need to worry—it’s not very strong…”
