My Master Knows It All

1399: Chapter 334_4 1399: Chapter 334_4 Cao Zhen quickly left Luo Zhen’s cave mansion.

Not long after he left, loud smashing sounds were heard from within Luo Zhen’s abode.

Soon, news spread that Luo Zhen wanted to negotiate with Cao Zhen, offering alternative treasures or items to compensate him, in hopes that Cao Zhen would return one of the three treasures he lost.

One of those treasures was a family heirloom.

However, Cao Zhen outright refused, which sent Luo Zhen into a furious rage.

Later, when the members of the Dragon Chant Sect saw Luo Zhen, they all noticed that he wore an icy expression, as if everyone owed him three treasures.

Furthermore, rumors began circulating that both Luo Zhen and Wen Dan had been completely deceived.

The pills Cao Zhen crafted were allegedly flawed.

The pills only carried the scent of potent medicine, but in truth, their efficacy was nowhere near as extraordinary as claimed.

Otherwise, Cao Zhen’s injuries should have been fully healed by now.

Luo Zhen even spread word that if Cao Zhen had truly recovered from his injuries, he would have already refined his exotic pill.

The only reason Cao Zhen had not yet refined it was because his injuries had not fully healed.

He further expressed suspicion that all three types of pills Cao Zhen initially refined, including the Heaven-Earth Transformation Pill, were problematic.

If Cao Zhen were truly capable of producing them, he should have already used them to recover from his injuries.

Yet, Cao Zhen’s injuries had remained unhealed, and he had failed to reach the peak of the Golden Core Stage, which was clearly suspicious.

Many members of the Dragon Chant Sect began to harbor doubts upon hearing this.

After all, Cao Zhen’s alchemical prowess had seemed terrifyingly extraordinary at the time—refining pills in a single month that would normally take a year, and each one was of the best quality.

Such capabilities were indeed unsettling.

If it was all a deception, then everything made sense.

Moreover, Cao Zhen still hadn’t refined his exotic pill, nor had he fully restored his cultivation to the peak of the Golden Core Stage.

Later, it was even reported that Luo Zhen personally sought out Cao Zhen, offering to craft three types of pills to help Cao Zhen recover, on the sole condition that Cao Zhen return the three treasures he had lost.

However, Cao Zhen refused once more, firmly denying any failure in his alchemical abilities.

Weeping Blood Demon Sect!

In the deepest part of the forbidden zone that could be accessed during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, within a lake seemingly formed of boundless blood, a young figure shot into the sky.

Waves of demonic qi erupted from his body, surging in all directions and causing the entire space to tremble uncontrollably.

“The Golden Core Stage limit!

Junior Brother Blood Drink has finally reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage,” someone exclaimed.

The interim sect leader of the Weeping Blood Demon Sect let out a smile of relief.

He had been under considerable pressure lately.

Among the great teachings, the Weeping Blood Demon Sect was a formidable force.

Yet, under his leadership, the Weeping Blood Demon Sect had suffered repeated setbacks recently.

During Heaven Prayers Sect’s failed tribulation, the Weeping Blood Demon Sect had also participated, but the resources they seized were far fewer than anticipated.

Prior to that, their sect had two Golden Core Stage limit cultivators: himself and the Bloodbath Demon.

However, in the ruins of musical rhythms, the Bloodbath Demon was slain by Cao Zhen, leaving the Weeping Blood Demon Sect with only one cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core Stage.

While the loss of the Bloodbath Demon was significant, it wasn’t entirely disadvantageous for him.

After all, the Bloodbath Demon was also at the Golden Core Stage limit, and like him, had cultivated for an equivalent amount of time, garnering many followers and supporters within the sect.

With the Bloodbath Demon around, his authority within the Weeping Blood Demon Sect was frequently challenged, and there were several matters he couldn’t act upon freely.

Without the Bloodbath Demon, he no longer faced such restraints.

But the good times didn’t last.

When the Eastern Wasteland was reconnected with the Eastern Province, the branch of the Weeping Blood Demon Sect stationed in the Eastern Wasteland returned.

Initially, it didn’t seem like a major issue, but to his astonishment, someone in their branch from such a remote area had also cultivated to the peak of the Golden Core Stage.

The sect master of the branch from the Weeping Blood Demon Sect was unexpectedly a Golden Core Stage limit cultivator as well.

Even more outrageous, this woman was not originally at the Golden Core Stage—she had repeatedly slashed her cultivation level down to the Golden Core Stage in the period leading up to the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.

Though this woman belonged to the branch sect, she was still a member of the Weeping Blood Demon Sect, and her methods were exceedingly cunning.

Not long after arriving in the Eastern Province, she garnered considerable support within the demonic sects.

Numerous elders, impressed by her abilities, even jointly recommended her to become the Grand Elder!

The Weeping Blood Demon Sect had not appointed a Grand Elder during the Reversal Mini Epoch Period.

He found this woman even more troublesome than the Bloodbath Demon.

The Bloodbath Demon lacked her political acumen and schemes.

Furthermore, despite both being at the Golden Core Stage limit, he felt he wasn’t her match in combat.

As the interim sect leader of the Weeping Blood Demon Sect, he wielded limited authority and was subject to oversight by the elders.

Even so, he had still managed to secure substantial resources by leveraging his role.

But ever since this woman became the Grand Elder, her growing influence made it increasingly difficult for him to acquire resources.

At last, now that his junior brother had also reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage, he could recover some of his standing.

Ideally, his junior brother could replace that woman and become the Grand Elder.
