My Master Knows It All

784: Chapter 231_3 784: Chapter 231_3 What are you doing refining pills here?

But there was no helping it, Cao Zhen had spoken, and the other three women went directly to find a spot, starting to protect Cao Zhen in his endeavor.

What else could he do?

He could only choose another place to protect Cao Zhen as well.

Cao Zhen quickly took out the pill furnace, then lit a fire and began placing one herb after another into the furnace.

At the same time, above his head, the heretical golden core appeared.

The next moment, the heretical golden core flew down into the pill furnace.

From afar, Linghu Gudu’s eyes narrowed in alertness.

What was this about?

He knew it was an exotic pill; he had discovered it the night before when Cao Zhen used it to unleash divine skills.

He felt that Cao Zhen’s strength, although only at the sixth level of the golden core stage, was so formidable due to that exotic pill.

But now, was Cao Zhen intending to refine his exotic pill?

Why would he refine his exotic pill?

Besides, didn’t he want that spirit pill?

What did refining the exotic pill have to do with the alchemy process?

Surely the spirit pill couldn’t sprout wings and just fly out, could it?

Cao Zhen started refining the pill in a seated position, and about the time it takes to burn one incense stick later, three figures appeared behind them.

It was the three people from the cave last night.

From a distance, the three also saw Cao Zhen busy with pill refining and noticed the four people guarding the surroundings, obviously protecting him.

Immediately, their hearts tensed.

“Folks, we’re just passing by, merely passing by.

We’ll leave now, right now!”

The trio immediately turned around, leaving behind a word before flying swiftly towards the distant places without looking back.

They truly resigned themselves to their luck—this place was so vast, yet as they flew haphazardly, they stumbled upon those five people again.

And the other party was in the middle of alchemy.

As beings at the golden core stage, how could they not know that pill masters during alchemy were most wary of disturbances from others?

If those people felt they disturbed the alchemy and launched an attack, what then?

What else should they do but run?

After the three had run far away, they decided to change direction and move on.

In the gorge, everyone ignored the three departing figures.

Cao Zhen was all the while creating an illusion, and gradually, from his pill furnace, a rich fragrance began to waft out, quickly spreading to the surroundings and into the gorge.

The next moment, in the gorge, the spirit pill seemed to stir slightly and then flew out towards the gorge’s exterior.

Linghu Gudu was stunned, did the spirit pill truly just fly out?

What method had Cao Zhen used?

This was indeed the act of a great ability reborn!

In the blink of an eye, the spirit pill had already flown outside the gorge’s confines and was rapidly flying towards the direction of the pill furnace.

Cao Zhen, watching the spirit pill drawing closer, displayed a hint of joy on his face, yet he made no move.

The spirit pill could seek benefits and avoid harm; if he acted now, who knew if it would immediately fly back to the gorge?

He was waiting, waiting for the spirit pill to fly into the pill furnace on its own.

The spirit pill moved incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the pill furnace.

However, instead of flying into the pill furnace, it struck directly against it, knocking the lid off and revealing the heretical golden core inside.

Now was the moment!

Cao Zhen’s thoughts shifted and in an instant, a dazzling brilliance shot forth from the heretical golden core, and a huge void hand suddenly emerged, reaching out for the spirit pill.

The spirit pill seemed to realize the danger and immediately turned to flee, but it was too close to the heretical golden core.

For it, the heretical golden core might have been merely food, but now, food had turned into the hunter, and it was too late for the pill to avoid capture.

The void hand swiftly grasped the spirit pill.

At the same time, Cao Zhen quickly took out the Qiankun bag and threw it in.

Ordinary jars for storing pills were not capable of trapping a spirit pill, but the Qiankun bag could certainly contain it.

Once the spirit pill entered the Qiankun bag, Cao Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Linghu Gudu, saying, “This spirit pill isn’t of much use to you, but it is useful to me, so I will take it.

We can consider this a favor we owe you for now.

Next time we find a treasure, you can take a larger share.”

“Of course, of course,” Linghu Gudu generously waved his hand.

He was truly envious of Cao Zhen acquiring such a spirit pill.

Even though he didn’t know the use of the spirit pill.

Yet he had witnessed with his own eyes the pill avoiding Wind Blades and flying out of the gorge by itself.

Cao Zhen, being a reincarnated great ability, attached so much importance to it that even by thinking with his toes, he knew the spirit pill must be extremely precious.

Besides, his compass had started moving again after the spirit pill had flown away, evidently indicating that the treasure and opportunity pointed out by the compass was this very spirit pill.

The danger they faced this time was no small matter.

It seemed as if he had not faced any threat to his life, but that was because he was strong enough.

If it weren’t for Ling Xi and Yan Yourong, even Li Ke, who was at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, would have been sucked into the gorge.

Seeing from this, was the danger minor?

Furthermore, yesterday, those resentful spirits released piercing sonic attacks; if it weren’t for Cao Zhen and Yan Yourong breaking through them, he might have been affected and possibly wouldn’t have been able to leave safely.

Therefore, judging from the level of danger, the preciousness of the spirit pill can also be ascertained.
