My Master Knows It All

957: Chapter 259_3 957: Chapter 259_3 “Since you don’t lack money now, why not you and Mom go travel around and see different places?

Oh, and if you come across any hundred-year-old lingzhi or ginseng, you can keep them.

I can teach you alchemy.”

Parents could cultivate, but without the help of medicinal herbs, the speed of cultivation was ultimately limited.

Now, his parents could survive by cultivating his techniques, but what about in five hundred years, a thousand years?

It was too slow for parents on Earth to increase their cultivation base; they could only hope to find medicinal herbs in those rarely visited places on Earth.

“Go for a spin, yes, I’ve long said we should go for a spin.

It’s your mother who can’t bear to leave her chickens and the vegetables she’s grown.”

Cao Zhen’s father said, turning his head to call to his wife, “Did you hear that?

Our son wants us to wander around and look for hundred-year, thousand-year-old ginseng and lingzhi.

These things surely aren’t common, we could go to Tianshan, to Shennongjia, to the depths of the Amazon, to Mount Everest…

what else?

Right, those unresolved mysteries, mysterious places, we can check them all out.”

Cao Zhen’s father seemed already excited about the idea of visiting these mysterious places, his whole demeanor becoming enthusiastic.

Meanwhile, Cao Zhen discovered that he had lost connection with his father; their time for communication had ended.

“Mysterious places, I guess Father definitely wants to check out places like Bermuda, Shennongjia, and such.

After all, my parents now have cultivation, though not high, but they won’t face any danger on Earth.

If they want to see, let them go and have a look,” he mused.

Cao Zhen wasn’t worried about his parents’ safety.

“After a while, I’ll contact my parents again to ask about their current situation.

But every time I contact them, they start urging me to marry, which is quite unbearable.”

Thinking about marriage, Li Ke’s image involuntarily popped into Cao Zhen’s mind.

They were, after all, nominally cultivation partners.

As he reflected, a voice came from outside the door; it was his disciple, Zhu Peng.

“Master, Master, Mistress has come to see you, Mistress is here.”

Following the voice, a series of vigorous knocks came.

Then, the voice of Grand Sister Ling Xi rebuked, “Zhu Peng, that is the Master’s door; you must not knock like that.

Mistress, we will leave first.”

To his surprise, Cao Zhen hadn’t anticipated that Li Ke would come to see him.

He quickly went to the door and opened the cave mansion’s door, and immediately, a beautiful face came into his sight.

After fifty years, Li Ke was still so beautiful.

Originally, Li Ke had ranked very highly on the Town Immortal Dynasty’s List of Admired, and deservedly so.

Outside, when the disciples of Four Treasures Peak saw Li Ke arrive, they prudently ran off, leaving only Li Ke outside.

“Come in,” Cao Zhen said, knowing that although he couldn’t see those disciples, others he wasn’t sure about, but Bei Yan that lad was definitely hidden somewhere peeping.

He straightforwardly invited Li Ke into the cave mansion.

Cao Zhen’s residence was also different from before, at least not as simple as it had been, with glow pearls now embedded in the cave mansion’s walls.

Speaking of which, although the disciples of Four Treasures Peak had also built their own cave mansions, they mostly lived inside pre-constructed houses.

After closing the door, Cao Zhen looked at Li Ke and said, “I’m really surprised, I didn’t expect you to come and see me.”

Li Ke’s eyes, as bright as pearls, immediately widened in surprise.

What kind of words were these!

Here she was, coming to see him out of kindness after hearing of his return, and his words…

What did he mean by that?

Should she not have come?

Li Ke’s smile vanished, her face showing discontent as she said, “It’s nothing, as the Grand Elder of Hundred Peaks Sect, seeing the Sect Leader return, I had to come and see.

Also, how is Elder Long Aotian doing?

How come Elder Long Aotian hasn’t been seen for such a long time?

She hadn’t planned to ask about Elder Long Aotian, but if she didn’t, wouldn’t it seem like she had come specifically for Cao Zhen?

Cao Zhen nodded internally, that was more like it.

He had said so, how could Li Ke, being so kind, come to see him alone knowing he had returned.

It turned out she was seeking Elder Long Aotian.

With his disappearance over the years, Long Aotian had naturally disappeared as well.

“Oh, Elder Long Aotian, now that it’s the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, as you well know.

Although Elder Long Aotian, by his incredible abilities, isn’t dormant, he is still affected by it.

So, if there isn’t anything pressing, Elder Long Aotian would naturally enter a state of semi-dormancy.” Cao Zhen began to bluff.

He paused for a moment before asking, “Are you seeking Elder Long Aotian for something?”

Li Ke casually made up, “Nothing major, just that recently, our Vermilion Bird Peak has taken in a disciple with terrific potential, a top-level immortal body, and I wanted to ask Elder Long Aotian for a suitable cultivation technique.”

Suddenly, Cao Zhen remembered, upon his return, what Liao Youdi had mentioned; Vermilion Bird Peak had taken in a genius disciple, apparently named Zhen Yu.
