My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1661: Chapter 378_2

He glanced around as he spoke, then extended a fist and said, “What you need to help our Dragon Chant Sect with is for ten individuals at the Early Indestructible Stage to break through to the Peak of the Indestructible Period!”

All around, including Immortal Shuanghua, everyone instantly turned their burning gazes towards Cao Zhen. It was evident that they would be selecting the talents at the Early Indestructible Stage from among them.

“Ten?” Cao Zhen was taken aback and shook his head repeatedly, saying, “Impossible. It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but the resources are insufficient…as you all know, my expertise is in alchemy.

However, the problem is that the ingredients required to refine such pills are truly too numerous. It’s not just the Immortal Herbs you’ve been asked for, but many other ingredients as well.”

The Sect Hierarch of Dragon Chant Sect immediately spoke upon hearing this, “What other ingredients does Sect Leader Cao need? Our Dragon Chant Sect can provide them.”

He also knew that the number of ingredients needed by Cao Zhen to refine such pills would certainly be astronomical, but the issue was that in doing so, they were essentially using Dragon Chant Sect’s resources to enhance themselves.

He believed that even when those experts of the Indestructible Period awakened, they would agree to their actions.

After all, if they could create ten top-tier experts at the Peak of the Indestructible Period, the benefits to their Dragon Chant Sect would be immense indeed.

“Is that so? Then let me first tell you the ingredients needed, and you can see whether you can gather them.”

Cao Zhen pondered slightly, then spoke the names of various ingredients aloud. He truly wasn’t afraid that they could deduce the pill prescription from knowing the ingredients he used.

The ingredients required for such pills were truly too many, and it wasn’t easy to deduce. Moreover, he wasn’t foolish enough to reveal all the ingredients directly.

Part of the ingredients needed for pill refinement were still available in the Hundred Peaks Sect now. He could very well omit the cheaper and more common ingredients and then add some others.

For other alchemists, unless they have reached his level, even if they use the wrong amount, not to mention the wrong ingredient, the pill would fail.

Even if the people of Dragon Chant Sect experimented countless times or had top-notch alchemists deducing the prescription,

the problem is they wouldn’t know the method of alchemy itself and the most crucial technique of special pill formation, so it’s still useless.

As for helping the other party refine pills and enhancing so many people,

this indeed was beyond his expectations.

After all, what he initially thought was only to help Bi Yue advance slightly, which is why he specifically mentioned one person.

He didn’t expect Dragon Chant Sect wanted to enhance so many experts.

However, assisting so many people in Dragon Chant Sect didn’t seem to be a bad thing.

All around, even though people had guessed the required ingredients were extremely numerous, they couldn’t help but feel daunted upon hearing Cao Zhen list them.

The number of ingredients was truly overwhelming.

Everyone turned their gaze towards Elder Hu.

Under their watchful eyes, Elder Hu nodded gently. Indeed, Dragon Chant Sect could provide these ingredients, but handing them over would almost empty some of their reserves.

After all, although Dragon Chant Sect was powerful, it was impossible to have an abundant stock of every kind of ingredient.

Among the ingredients Cao Zhen needed, some Immortal Herbs were relatively rare and seldom used in pills, and Dragon Chant Sect didn’t have a large reserve of them.

After Elder Hu nodded, everyone turned their gazes towards the Sect Hierarch.

Would the Hierarch approve of using so many ingredients?

Facing the collective gaze, the Dragon Chant Sect Hierarch was about to speak when a commotion was heard from outside the Conference Hall.

Everyone turned towards the entrance, seeing two silhouettes — one large, one small — appearing in their sights.

A dragon?

Their eyes widened in surprise.

Bi Yue, astonishingly, walked in with a dragon.

For a moment, everyone was bewildered. This was clearly a dragon from the Holy Mountain — what was it doing in their meeting?

Why had Bi Yue brought a dragon here?

The Dragon Chant Sect Hierarch, filled with curiosity, looked at Immortal Bi Yue and asked, “Bi Yue, why have you invited the Divine Dragon of the Holy Mountain?”

Bi Yue smiled at Cao Zhen, “It was he who asked me to bring the dragon from the mountains.”

She said as she looked at Cao Zhen, “This is the strongest existence within the Dragon Clan now. It gave itself a name, Dragon Wangu.”

Just as Bi Yue finished her introduction, Dragon Wangu’s enormous form turned to Cao Zhen, looking displeased, “Human, quickly say what you want with me brought here by Bi Yue!”

The Dragon Clan didn’t like to leave the Holy Mountain. If not for Bi Yue finding him, she wouldn’t have come here.

Cao Zhen scratched his head wearily. Initially, he planned to directly trade with the Dragon Clan, offering them a divine skill.

Zhang Daoling’s lineage on Dragon and Tiger Mountain had once studied dragons, and Zhang Daoling even possessed a dragon divine skill, intending to exchange with it.

But now, with the Dragon Chant Sect proposing another deal, if it involved helping refine pills and empowering them, while also granting divine skills to the Dragon Clan, that would be a big loss for him.

But the problem was, he had already asked Bi Yue to bring the dragon here. It wouldn’t make sense to tell it to go back now, saying he was just curious to see a dragon. That would be playing with it, and he wouldn’t be able to engage in future trades with the dragons of the Holy Mountain.
