At a time , with every Disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect attaining Enlightenment, their strength would be bolstered by a notch.
An increase in the strength of the Hundred Peaks Sect was also beneficial to Cao Zhen.
After all, the stronger the Hundred Peaks Sect, the safer Four Treasures Peak would be.
So they waited at the foot of Four Treasures Peak, waiting and waiting, but as the days passed, there was still no sign of the people from Four Treasures Peak returning.
It wasn’t until ten days later that news came.
Peak Master Cao Zhen has arrived at the Capital City?”
Upon hearing the news, they nearly fell apart.
“Cao Zhen and his group moved that fast?
It took our people from the Hundred Peaks Sect eighteen days to reach the Capital City, and that was with three Earth Immortal Realm Elders leading the team.
Cao Zhen made it in just ten days?”
Although the three Elders are at the Earth Immortal Realm, their Flying Boat is too large, carrying too many people.
Moreover, the Elders were responsible for everyone’s safety, not necessarily for operating the Flying Boat.
Besides, that Flying Boat may not be better than Peak Master Cao’s Flying Boat, so it makes sense that Peak Master Cao would take even less time to reach the Capital City.”
“So what is Cao Zhen plotting?
He returned to the Hundred Peaks Sect for no reason and then left immediately, just to take his Disciples with him?”
“Completely incomprehensible!”
“Are you saying we wasted these ten days for nothing?”
Ever since Cao Zhen boarded the Flying Boat, he had been concocting Pills with Yi Sheng.
With enough Pills at his disposal, he began to frenziedly throw batches of them into the Pill Furnace.
His Disciples, unlike Xiang Ziyu, couldn’t withstand the ferocious Pills. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Therefore, he had prepared another kind of Pill for them—the Foundation Building Dragon Tiger Pill and the lesser Deception Pills.
Even though the effects of the Foundation Building Dragon Tiger Pill were somewhat inferior, he just prepared more of them.
This time, he had asked the Grand Preceptor for a substantial amount of herbal ingredients.
In ten days, he had concocted twenty Foundation Building Dragon Tiger Pills for each Disciple!
In ten days, just as the Flying Boat arrived at the Capital City, Cao Zhen had precisely completed concocting twenty Foundation Building Dragon Tiger Pills for each of his four Disciples.
After disembarking from the Flying Boat, Yi Sheng immediately turned to Cao Zhen with an expectant expression, “Master, my family is in the Capital City.
We can go to my Family Head’s place.”
Visit your family?” It was only then that Cao Zhen remembered Yi Sheng’s family was the wealthiest in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty; thus, being present in the Capital City was quite normal.
He was unclear, however, how Yi Sheng had been chosen by someone from the Hundred Peaks Sect to join them from the Capital City.
Considering that Yi Sheng might not have returned home for many years, longing for home was natural.
“Alright, we will visit your home,” he agreed.
Visiting Yi Sheng’s home would save them the trouble from other sects as well.
Cao Zhen thought for a moment and then turned to Wu Jianzi and Lu Yiren, “Will you two join us?”
Time was indeed tight.
After forcibly helping his Disciples increase their Cultivation Bases, they needed time to adapt.
Having Wu Jianzi and Lu Yiren present could help the Disciples adjust faster.
“Your Disciple obeys.”
Soon, under Yi Sheng’s guidance, everyone arrived directly at Yi Sheng’s house in the Capital City.
Cao Zhen had been to the Grand Preceptor’s residence in the Capital City before, but it was only when he entered Yi Sheng’s home that he realized what truly defined grandeur!
Yi Sheng’s residence was even bigger than ten of the Grand Preceptor’s residences combined!
Moreover, this entire area was clearly comprised of merchants’ homes, each estate built on an incomparably grand scale.
He discovered that although the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s Grand Preceptor had always suppressed the various Immortal Sects, he had never suppressed the merchants.
In fact, the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty even intentionally allowed people to conduct trade, which was different from many dynasties in ancient Earth.
The status of merchants was not particularly high, but neither was it that low.
At the very least, it was apparent from their mansions that if the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty had suppressed the merchants, these tradespeople would not have been able to own such large estates in the Capital City!
Yi Sheng returned to his mansion.
And since he had brought his master and sect mates, the entire Yi Family immediately came out to greet them.
However, Cao Zhen declined everyone’s request to hold a banquet and directly asked Yi Sheng to arrange a room for him.
Then he couldn’t wait to have Ling Xi enter his room.
In his room, Cao Zhen first took out the already-refined Deception Pills and looked at Ling Xi, “Come, be a good girl, open your mouth.”
With her previous experience, Ling Xi’s vermilion lips opened wide at once, and she swallowed the pill in one gulp.
As soon as it entered her mouth, she immediately felt an exceptionally comfortable and soaring sensation spread throughout her body.
Although it wasn’t her first time, she almost couldn’t help but let out a moan.
The feeling was simply too wonderful, making her feel as if she were floating on air, close to becoming an immortal.
As the pill took effect, an enigmatic character, completely incomprehensible to anyone, appeared on her forehead.
Ancient Talisman Mark!
The mark of the Ancient Talisman Immortal Body!
With the appearance of the mark, the power that had been suppressed within Ling Xi rapidly revived.
Sensing the changes in Ling Xi’s body, Cao Zhen hastily took out a Foundation Building Dragon Tiger Pill and said, “Come, my good disciple, open your mouth again.
Let’s eat another kind of pill.
After taking the pill, start operating your cultivation technique right away.”
Hearing this, Ling Xi hurriedly opened her mouth wide again.
As she swallowed a Foundation Building Dragon Tiger Pill, she instantaneously felt surges of overwhelming power.
Cao Zhen then spoke again, “Open your mouth once more.”
Having had the experience before, Ling Xi did not hesitate at all and once again opened her mouth wide.
Cao Zhen also opened his mouth, and the already condensed second-layer Heretical Golden Core flew out and fell into Ling Xi’s mouth.
In an instant, Ling Xi felt a wave of intense heat in her lower abdomen.
This burning sensation spread throughout her body, making her feel as if she had ascended to immortality and was so comfortable that she almost went limp on the floor.
With her previous experience, she knew that the thing she had swallowed was her master helping her, and at this time, she had to operate her power to cooperate with her master.
Ling Xi immediately began to operate her cultivation technique with her mind.
Slowly, a golden light burst forth from an inner core on her back, and as the light grew stronger, the medicinal effects within her body began to dissipate.
Cao Zhen hastily took out another Foundation Building Dragon Tiger Pill and stuffed it into Ling Xi’s mouth.
With the ingestion of the second pill, a surge of powerful energy soared within Ling Xi again.
A moment later, her first inner core had fully condensed into a Golden Core!
