My Master Knows It All

523: Chapter 185_2 523: Chapter 185_2 “Peak Master Cao’s divine skills are either top-notch or specifically designed to counteract hers,”

“If she were part of our Bright Heart Sect, she would certainly possess far more powerful divine skills to combat Peak Master Cao, and even with the divine skills from our sect, she could have triumphed.

Sadly, she comes from that what’s-it-called Celestial Plum Sect, a sect that can’t even provide her with a divine weapon.”

“However, no matter what, Peak Master Cao has won again and has advanced to the fourth round with his Core Formation Stage cultivation.”

“In fact, if Qiao Jingyao had hailed from one of the top ten Immortal Sects, this battle might not have necessarily resulted in a victory for Peak Master Cao.”

Amidst the sighs of the crowd,

Cao Zhen walked up to Qiao Jingyao and stopped in front of her.

He did not attack her again but instead tried to console her, “Alright, you’ve done well enough.

To have a breakthrough during the battle, you’ve shone brightly enough.”

Qiao Jingyao did not reply but struggled with her hands to prop herself up.

Cao Zhen did not persuade Qiao Jingyao to admit defeat; from her combat spirit, he could feel her stubbornness, her unyielding nature.

He knew that even if he urged her to concede, she would not, so he had no choice but to eliminate her from the match.

Cao Zhen raised his arm and with a gesture toward Qiao Jingyao, who had just propped up the upper half of her body, a gentle mana surged forth, forming a gust that blew her, now devoid of strength to continue the fight, straight towards the edge of the arena.

Qiao Jingyao struggled to move her body, wanting to land, but with her injury, she was simply no match for Cao Zhen’s strength.

In just the time it takes to breathe, she hit the edge of the arena, and instantly, the arena’s formation was triggered, a light screen rose, and simultaneously, Qiao Jingyao was rebounded back into the arena.

The force exerted by Cao Zhen was exceptionally gentle, so when Qiao Jingyao fell back onto the arena, she did not fall again.

Waves of mana protected her in the center.

As Qiao Jingyao triggered the light of the arena, the voice of the referee quickly rang out from below.

“On arena Alpha, the winner is Cao Zhen from Four Treasures Peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect.”

Following the referee’s announcement, Cao Zhen flew down to where Qiao Jingyao was and took out a Tianyuan Yiqi Pill, whispering, “Open your mouth.”

He truly admired the opponent before him, a girl from an unknown little Immortal Sect, so poor that they couldn’t even afford to equip her with a divine weapon, and the divine skills she used were low-level ones that even Core Formation disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect wouldn’t bother with.

Under such circumstances, one could imagine her mentor likely couldn’t teach her much.

Yet, she had still become a Golden Core cultivator at the sixth layer, and each of her golden cores was a miraculous one, a testament to her astonishing talent.

What was even rarer was her persistence, her spirit of never giving up.

Had it been any other opponent, he would not have used his own pills to heal them after defeating them.

But his current opponent was worthy of his newly concocted Tianyuan Yiqi Pill.

Qiao Jingyao just stubbornly looked up at Cao Zhen, refusing to open her mouth.

Cao Zhen let out a soft sigh and said, “I offer you the pill, not to belittle you, nor like those people who say to a beggar on the street, ‘Hey, come and eat.’ I offer it to you because I feel that you deserve respect.

Moreover, while your injuries are neither severe nor trivial, having just made a breakthrough is precisely when you need to stabilize it.

Being injured and unable to cultivate could impact you.

You wouldn’t want to see your Sect having to liquidate assets again to scrape together healing pills for you.”

Upon hearing the latter part, Qiao Jingyao thought of her own mentor and Sect Leader, and immediately opened her mouth.

She knew that after her injury, her mentor would certainly find a way to help her obtain healing medicine.

Healing pills were never cheap, and she couldn’t let her mentor and her Sect waste their resources because of her again.

The next moment, Cao Zhen flicked a finger and the Tianyuan Yiqi Pill shot into Qiao Jingyao’s mouth.

As the pill dissolved, Qiao Jingyao immediately felt an extraordinarily gentle and life-filled aura enter her body through her throat and quickly spread throughout her entire body.

This aura, though gentle, had a sense of vastness.

It felt as if a stream was washing away the filth on her body, and as though the soft sunlight from the sky was bathing her.

Her whole body was indescribably comfortable.

She had been injured before, and after getting hurt, her mentor would also provide her with healing pills, but those pills would always take time to become effective.

She remembered the time she was most badly injured, just after becoming a Golden Core cultivator, when she had gone out to eliminate evil demons for a certain material.

Although she managed to slay the evil demon, she was also heavily wounded.

That time, her mentor was with her and administered a pill immediately, but she still had to lay in bed for seven days before she could sit up and meditate to heal her injuries.

But now, this pill took effect instantaneously, making her feel as if all her injuries had been healed.

Cao Zhen’s voice quickly followed, “This pill cannot fully restore you, but after taking it, there’s no need to rush your recovery.

You can continue to stay here and watch the martial arts tournament of the assembly of immortals.

Once the tournament is over, go back and practice your own cultivation technique and circulate a complete cycle, and your injuries should be completely healed.”

Having said that, he leaped off the arena.

These Tianyuan Yiqi Pills were what he specially concocted to treat the injuries for himself or his disciples, particularly those incurred during battles by cultivators at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
