My Master Knows It All

66: Chapter 62: Take a Hong Jun_1 66: Chapter 62: Take a Hong Jun_1 The Dragon Tiger Pill, looking like a ball of mutton fat jade, dropped into Cao Zhen’s mouth, and the Dragon Tiger Qi on the ten Dragon Tiger Dao Platforms and the five Dragon Tiger Immortal Bridges immediately resonated with the Dragon Tiger Pill.

At this moment, Cao Zhen’s heretical Golden Core also emitted the power of Dragon and Tiger, resonating with the Dragon Tiger Pill, and a dozen meters high Dragon Tiger Phenomenon broke through the air, emitting bursts of dragon roars and tiger howls.

Even a fool could tell that the pill Cao Zhen had just taken was definitely not as simple as just restoring his energy; it was clear that he was on the brink of a breakthrough!

Immortal Bridges began to appear one after another, with new Immortal Bridges emerging as his cultivation base increased…

The sixth, the seventh, the eighth…

One Dragon Tiger Pill after another entered Cao Zhen’s mouth, and the Phenomenon Immortal Bridge quickly reached nine bridges.

Boiling spiritual energy filled the whole Five-Element Pill Ground, making it obvious to anyone that this power was not going to stop there.

Could a breakthrough even be done this way?

Both Situ Fengzhan and Gu Chengyu, experienced and knowledgeable as they were, were stunned.

Pills have always been used to assist with critical breakthroughs or for daily consumption, and after a long period of cumulative effect, they could help one enhance their cultivation base.

The master of the observatory was also clicking his tongue in astonishment, having heard of such miraculous immortal pills in his long life but never expecting to actually witness one!

True, for those able to enter the Hidden Dragon Observatory, advancing to the Immortal Bridge Period wouldn’t take an excessively long time, but such a mode of breakthrough, like riding a flying sword straight to the heavens, had never been seen before.

Ten bridges!

The moment the tenth Phenomenon Immortal Bridge appeared behind Cao Zhen, Situ Fengzhan’s pupils shrank to the size of needlepoints.

Compared to the Perfect Fulfillment of the ten Dao Platforms, the difficulty of Perfect Fulfillment Ten Immortal Bridges was much, much higher.

There were not a few with ten Dao Platforms in the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Basically, who wasn’t at Perfect Fulfillment with ten Dao Platforms upon entering the Hidden Dragon Observatory?

Situ Fengzhan himself had achieved Perfect Fulfillment of the ten Dao Platforms, but without any phenomena in his platforms, which was why he ranked at the bottom among the Hidden Dragon Three Sons.

As for the Immortal Bridges, Situ Fengzhan had not managed to cultivate the tenth bridge in the end and had to make a reluctant breakthrough into the Core Formation Stage.

Now, he was in the Hidden Dragon Observatory precisely to strive for the Perfect Golden Core.

If this Cao Zhen completes his Core Formation!

And then attends the Three Sons assessment…

Situ Fengzhan knew that he might have to vacate his position among the Hidden Dragon Three Sons!

If it really came to that, and he lost the resources of the Hidden Dragon Three Sons, his chances of forming the Perfect Golden Core would be even slimmer!

However, Situ Fengzhan wasn’t particularly concerned about Cao Zhen’s Core Formation.

Even for a genius with ten bridges, completing Core Formation required meticulous preparation and a long period of seclusion.

When he himself had challenged the gate of Core Formation, it took a full three months to complete his Core Formation!

Situ Fengzhan watched Cao Zhen leisurely, expecting Cao Zhen to gather his strength soon, confidently confront him with the ten bridge phenomenon, and then defeat him, letting him know what being one of the Hidden Dragon Three Sons meant…

Two hours later, a fist-sized inner core, clear as jade, appeared behind Cao Zhen.

Mysterious runes danced around the core, and the phenomena of a dragon and a tiger once again circled above it.

A Phenomenon Pill?

Situ Fengzhan felt a bitterness in his mouth; his position among the Hidden Dragon Three Sons really did seem to be in jeopardy.

It’s fine!

Cao Zhen had only formed one core…

Situ Fengzhan sighed inwardly.

Even if it was a Phenomenon, what did it matter?

As long as he could severely injure Cao Zhen in the upcoming sparring, there would be nothing for Cao Zhen among the Hidden Dragon Three Sons.

The second Dragon Tiger Phenomenon Pill appeared in the sky, at the ends of the two Immortal Bridges, each suspending a Dragon Tiger Phenomenon Pill.

Cao Zhen, having condensed two Dragon Tiger Phenomenon Pills in succession, also lamented that it was indeed great to have the heretical Golden Core as an aid.

Otherwise, completing Core Formation would not be so easy; it would probably require all the Dragon Tiger Pills to complete.

Having formed a core versus not, within the realm of immortal cultivation, represented a vast chasm.

In the Immortal Cultivation world, there was a saying: “One pill is worth ten bridges.”

In the Hundred Peaks Sect, whenever someone within any peak completed Core Formation, it was worth celebrating with a banquet.

Heretical Golden Core at this time was akin to a Golden Core expert exhausting all of his cultivation to help overcome the barrier to Core Formation.

Two cores?

That was somewhat decent…

Situ Fengzhan quietly calculated that with two cores, combined with ten Phenomenon Immortal Bridges and ten Dao Platforms, the power was indeed enough to compete with Core Formation cultivators with four, or even five, cores…

But!

He himself had nine!

The third Phenomenon Pill, with swirling Dragon Tiger Qi, appeared behind Cao Zhen…

Before Situ Fengzhan could recover, a fourth…

a fifth…

Situ Fengzhan’s mouth was now more than just bitter; his lips were dry, and the corners of his eyes were twitching uncontrollably.

In these times, being humiliated while showing off is embarrassing, but even more so is watching someone who actually has the strength to show off in front of you grow at an incredible speed, to the point where your previous boasting looks downright foolish.

That’s exactly how Situ Fengzhan was feeling now: Ten Immortal Bridges, ten platforms, and five Core Formation all with phenomena!

Even if he had cultivated at the Hidden Dragon Observatory, he essentially had no chance of winning now.

The sixth!

The seventh!

Seven!

A full seven Phenomenon Pills!

And they were achieved in less than a day’s time from several Immortal Bridges!

Situ Fengzhan wanted to leave when he saw the fifth pill, but he knew he could not, so he persevered, praying that Cao Zhen would only have that many pills, giving himself a chance with the cultivation he gained from the Hidden Dragon Observatory.

But soon…

the moment the sixth and seventh pills appeared, Situ Fengzhan knew that if he waited any longer, by the time Cao Zhen opened his eyes, he would likely become the one who was beaten.

Seeing that Cao Zhen had no intention of opening his eyes yet, Situ Fengzhan quietly got up, ready to leave.

Leaving now was far better than waiting to be thrashed by someone who had just arrived not long ago.

“Young man, where do you think you are going?” Gu Chengyu stepped out of the yard, grabbed the back of Situ Fengzhan’s collar, and held him in place, saying, “The old man sees that Peak Master Cao is about to finish his cultivation.

Why the rush?

Even a True Immortal couldn’t save him, could they?

Isn’t that what you said?”

Cao Zhen felt the potency of the Dragon Tiger Pills he had been refining was almost completely exhausted; if he continued to force it, it would damage the origin of the [All-creatures Pill] in his Heretical Golden Core, so he gradually stopped pushing for the eighth Phenomenon Dragon Tiger Pill.

Seven?

That should be enough!

Cao Zhen secretly calculated that unless someone with a similar…

No!

Even if someone had the same Phenomenon Pills, unless they had ten Core Formation Pills and some Special Immortal Body, he was almost invincible in the Core Formation Stage.

Cao Zhen was not in a hurry to exit his state but instead entered the Zhonghua Cloud in his mind to check.

Such a fierce upgrade should at least result in a higher administrator level, shouldn’t it?

Zhonghua Cloud Level 6 Administrator: Cao Zhen

Extra Experience: 0

Talisman Level: Level 10

Cao Zhen couldn’t care less about looking into what kind of pills he could refine with his alchemy level now surpassing level 50.

‘Add two random users, add two specific users’

This voice from Zhonghua Cloud was exactly what Cao Zhen wanted to hear and the answer he wanted to receive!

He had indeed risen two levels at once, as alchemy had crossed a major realm, and his cultivation had also increased a major realm, so the administrator level had gone straight up to level six.

“Connect to Hong Jun Ancestral Elder.” Cao Zhen felt that even if he couldn’t just ride on the elder’s coattails to victory, he could at least extract all his data, which would be perfect for guiding his disciples.
