My Master Knows It All

213: Chapter 131 Hundred Peaks Convergence Method_1 213: Chapter 131 Hundred Peaks Convergence Method_1 The disciples of Four Treasures Peak finally gathered together neatly.

Ling Xi and Yan Yourong, the two of them stood atop the peak, continuously pointing here and there, seemingly discussing what sort of things should be arranged and where in the future planning of Four Treasures Peak.

Little Beiyan was excitedly circling around each automaton, turning this way and that.

Yi Sheng started to tally the financial income and expenses of this recent period.

She had been inside the Five-Element Pill Ground for this entire time, but the Gathering Spirit Talismans from the various Taoist Institutions of Four Treasures Peak had already begun to sell.

Automatons making and selling talismans was not a problem, but asking them to manage financial accounting was a bit too difficult for them.

Cao Zhen silently opened his own document.

Earth Fire Thunder Light Circle: Level 31.

Chaos Demon Expelling Palm: Level 31.

Hidden Edge Sword: Level 31.

Flood Dragon Emerges from the Sea Spear…

He now had over forty new Divine Skills, and without exception, all these Divine Skills were at Level 31.

This was the feeling of winning effortlessly.

These four apprentices had indeed each cultivated at least ten Divine Skills, and they all cultivated them to the utmost limit they were capable of, Level 31.

The only pity was that Little Beiyan hadn’t joined in, so he couldn’t gain the Divine Skills that Little Beiyan had cultivated.

Fortunately, Zi Yu alone had provided twenty kinds of Divine Skills, which compensated for it.

Twenty kinds…

As Cao Zhen pondered, he felt something was amiss.

Zi Yu possessed the talent to quickly master anything he cultivated.

Logically, he should have cultivated more Divine Skills.

Why only more than twenty?

That kid couldn’t have been slacking off, could he?

Cao Zhen looked up toward Zi Yu, only to discover that Zi Yu had come over and asked, “Master, since you created these automatons, you must know Artifact Refining, right?”

“Automatons involve Mechanical Techniques, which are not quite the same as Artifact Refining.

Though I’m not highly skilled in Artifact Refining, teaching you is certainly within my capabilities.”

Zi Yu nodded slightly, “As expected, how could my Master not know these things?

Well then, Master, teach me how to refine artifacts now.”

Cao Zhen looked at Zi Yu curiously and asked, “Why do you want to learn Artifact Refining?”

Zi Yu proudly held up the Heavenly Gang Disha Beads and declared, “I plan to descend the mountain.

I believe that once I do, I’ll encounter numerous opportunities and obtain countless materials.

Hence, I must learn Artifact Refining first to prepare for repairing the Heavenly Gang Disha Beads after I leave.”

Cao Zhen was momentarily speechless.

You’re quite confident, planning so far ahead.

But his disciple wanting to learn Artifact Refining was indeed a good thing.

Artifact Refining was not his strong suit, but even Zhang Daoling, who was not proficient in Artifact Refining, could still teach a Core Formation Stage disciple, couldn’t he?

“If you want to learn Artifact Refining, I can teach you right now.

But before that, answer me, have you been slacking off inside Hidden Dragon Observatory?”

“Slacking off?” Zi Yu immediately protested indignantly, “I am the protagonist; what protagonist ever slacks off?

Master, I learned twenty Divine Skills in Hidden Dragon Observatory, all of which were lost skills that required my own research…”

“Lost skills?” Cao Zhen’s eyes widened, “Don’t tell me the skills you’ve been cultivating are like those in the Record of Deities and Demons?”

“No, no,” Zi Yu shook his head with regret, “The foundation of our Hundred Peaks Sect is just too weak.

The books I found were the kind that couldn’t be worse, with who knows how many parts missing.

Although I managed to successfully cultivate them, even though they also feel strong, there isn’t one that can compare to the Record of Deities and Demons.”

Cao Zhen didn’t want to talk anymore, so he finally understood why Zi Yu’s cultivation of Divine Skills was so slow—he had been cultivating those missing skills all along.

Missing Divine Skills, even if others attempted to cultivate them, would likely fail, and if not careful, might even lead to deviating from the right path, resulting in all manner of problems.

Yet Zi Yu had managed to learn twenty of them.

What more could he say?

“Come, let’s start with Artifact Refining.

It seems we don’t have the materials for Artifact Refining on our peak…

Wait for your master, I’ll go find some materials and come back.”

Cao Zhen quickly left Four Treasures Peak and returned to Hidden Dragon Observatory.

Though the Hidden Dragon Observatory was closed, who was he?

The current Deputy Master of Hidden Dragon, the future Master of Hidden Dragon.

The others couldn’t go in, but could he not?

He went directly into the Immortal Soldier Workshop, took a load of Artifact Refining materials, and quickly went back to Four Treasures Peak to start teaching Zi Yu Artifact Refining.

Soon, he discovered that his disciple was indeed a genius in Artifact Refining, possibly not even less talented than Yi Sheng was in Alchemy.

Moreover, his gift for Artifact Refining was different from Yi Sheng’s alchemical talent.

Yi Sheng possessed a pure talent for Alchemy, quickly learning whatever pills she was told to refine and always achieving excellent results.

Zi Yu also learned quickly, but whenever he was refining artifacts, he always came up with all sorts of bizarre ideas.

“Master, I think the flame needs to be hotter…

Yi Sheng, increase the fire for me…”

“Bang!”

As the temperature of the flame increased, the newly forged iron embryo completely melted away…

“Master, why stop at eighty-eight strikes?

I think the limit should be ninety-nine.”

In not much time, there was also a pile of shattered metal materials on the ground…

“Master, do you know what Nine Heavens of Ice Fire is?

We should use both ice and fire simultaneously, that’s the real way to greatness.

How could I, the protagonist, refine artifacts the same way others do?”
