My Master Knows It All
Chapter 89 - 89 85 Good Disciple Open Your Mouth_1

89: Chapter 85: Good Disciple, Open Your Mouth_1 89: Chapter 85: Good Disciple, Open Your Mouth_1 Because the cave had been uninhabited for a long time, the temperature inside was somewhat low.

Upon entering the cave, Ling Xi felt a chill and instinctively wrapped her arms around her chest to warm herself, curious about the surprise her master had brought her here for.

Cao Zhen couldn’t bother to put on any pretense of mystery and took out the small Deception Pills and Repair Pills, immediately filling the entire cave with a medicinal fragrance.

“Eat this,” Cao Zhen lined up the pills and pointed to the small Deception Pill, saying, “Eat this first, and then the other kind.”

“Master, it’s too precious…” Ling Xi shook her head repeatedly in refusal, “The disciple knows her own body.”

“This is a master’s command,” Cao Zhen could only put on the air of a master.

Only with great reluctance did Ling Xi pick up a small Deception Pill, and with a questioning gaze toward her master to confirm that she indeed had to swallow it, she lightly parted her red lips, closed her eyes, furrowed her brow, and with difficulty, swallowed it.

The next moment, Ling Xi felt an unprecedented comfort, as if her body was being opened up, and she sensed a feeling of floating as if about to become an immortal.

As the small Deception Pill was completely ingested, an enigmatic character appeared between Ling Xi’s brows, one so profound that even Cao Zhen couldn’t understand it.

It was the mark of the Ancient Talisman Immortal Body; if the laws of the heavenly path had not changed, this Ancient Talisman mark would always be on her forehead, guiding the cultivation within her body and forming her unique cultivation technique.

However, as the rules between heaven and earth changed, this Ancient Talisman mark was forcefully suppressed within her body, completely beyond her reach – the Ancient Talisman that heaven and earth once bestowed upon her.

With the appearance of the Ancient Talisman mark, the suppressed power within Ling Xi began to revive, and guided by the mark, it started to flow through every part of her body.

“Now start eating the small Repair Pills,” said Cao Zhen urgently, afraid of wasting the medicinal properties.

Ling Xi, not dwelling on the comfortable sensation, quickly swallowed the first small Repair Pill, and immediately felt as if all forty-eight thousand pores of her body had opened up, a sense of comfort spreading throughout her.

Having cared for Yan Yourong before and with his own breakthrough experience, Cao Zhen knew exactly how to maximize the benefits Ling Xi would gain after taking the pills.

“Ling Xi, close your eyes,” said Cao Zhen, noticing she had already closed them, he added, “Open your mouth.”

A Heretical Golden Core flew out of Cao Zhen’s mouth and landed in Ling Xi’s, after which he continued, “Swallow it, do not try to digest it; it will help you.”

Ling Xi felt a wave of warmth in her lower abdomen that quickly spread through her body, making her want to collapse on the ground in comfort, but she knew she could not afford to at such a critical time.

She quickly mobilized her power in coordination with her master.

The Dao platforms shattered, then reformed.

The best Phenomenon Ancient Talisman Dao platforms emerged, followed by the second Phenomenon Ancient Talisman Dao platform.

Each Dao platform’s Ancient Talisman marks seemed identical at first glance but upon closer inspection, had slight variations.

The Phenomenon Dao platforms condensed one after another, quickly completing ten Phenomenon Dao platforms.

At this moment, Ling Xi began to understand why her second junior sister had spent the whole night busy with their master in the room and had said their master was impressive – it was even more profound than she had imagined.

Cao Zhen checked the number of pills left and confirmed his earlier conjecture: if he had had a Heretical Golden Core back then, Yan Yourong might not have stopped at the realm of the Phenomenon Ten Immortal Bridges after taking the pills.

“Ling Xi, don’t relax!

Keep pushing!” Feeling Ling Xi’s thoughts scattered, Cao Zhen quickly reminded her.

The next moment, Ling Xi hurried to join in a new charge.

Immortal Bridges!

And they were Phenomenon Immortal Bridges!

Cao Zhen also realized that his eldest disciple’s Ancient Talisman Immortal Body was even more formidable than he had imagined; not only were the runes on each Dao platform different, but even the runes on each Immortal Bridge were completely unique.

Ten Phenomenon Dao Platforms, ten Phenomenon Immortal Bridges, Cao Zhen continued to exert force, and Ling Xi quickly cooperated with the final sprint, a Phenomenon Pill wrapped in Ancient Talisman Rune abruptly formed.

At this moment, Ling Xi was completely out of strength to continue the impact, and Cao Zhen also knew this was already the limit, retracting the Heretical Golden Core.

“Catch your breath.” After taking the Heretical Golden Core back into his body, Cao Zhen discovered twenty-one strange runes on it, which could correspond one-to-one with Ling Xi’s phenomena.

To have such a serendipitous encounter?

Cao Zhen had not expected that in helping his disciple break through, his own Heretical Golden Core would make new progress, receiving twenty-one Ancient Talisman Runes out of thin air.

Cao Zhen tried manipulating the twenty-one Ancient Talisman Runes on the Heretical Golden Core and found that these runes could actually be peeled off from the core and enter into his own Dao Platforms and Immortal Bridges, with strands of strange knowledge entering his mind.

Soon, there was an additional Ancient Talisman Rune between the dragon and tiger, but when the rune was brought together with the dragon and tiger, both the Dao Platforms and the Immortal Bridges became very unstable.

Cao Zhen hurriedly consecrated the Heretical Golden Core, temporarily taking back the Ancient Talisman Core Formation and the Ancient Talisman Rune on the Immortal Bridge, freeing up more focus to stabilize the runes on the Dragon-Tiger Dao Platform.

Before long, Cao Zhen placed the nine runes from the Dragon-Tiger Dao Platforms back onto the Heretical Golden Core, then devoted himself entirely to stabilizing the remaining Ancient Talisman Rune, only to discover that integrating it completely was far from an easy task.

Since arriving at the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty in the Profound Yellow World, Cao Zhen had been mostly idle, so idle that he did not know what to do, with the only busy times being those for alchemy and earning money.

How to spend the idle time was something Cao Zhen had considered.

He had thought about diligent cultivation, but obviously, with shortcuts or cheating methods available, it was truly difficult to engage in arduous cultivation.

Now, Cao Zhen saw a direction in which he could occupy his spare time: perfectly integrating the Ancient Talisman Runes.

Could he possibly achieve the dual Phenomenon Dao Platforms, dual Phenomenon Immortal Bridges, and Core Formation?

First, he must understand the meaning of these Ancient Talisman Runes!

Cao Zhen took the last Ancient Talisman Rune back into the Heretical Golden Core.

After Ling Xi exited her stable realm, he immediately asked, “Ling Xi, what do these Ancient Talisman Runes mean?

Or, what do they represent?”

Ling Xi pondered for a moment and then shook her head, saying, “Disciple doesn’t know how to explain it.

Each rune could be said to encompass all things in the universe; there are many that disciple is also unclear about and will need time to slowly digest and understand.”

Cao Zhen knew that this could not be rushed, and at the same time lamented that Zhang Daoling, the Great Grandmaster of the Daoist cultivation theories and a Daluo Golden Immortal, had no research on the Ancient Talisman Immortal Body.

“Alright, if you do not understand anything about your cultivation, come ask your mentor.

When you’re not assisted by pills on ordinary days, don’t think about breaking through realms, but practice more of the Divine Skills your master has taught you.”

Ling Xi nodded repeatedly, “Master, the Great Dragon Tiger Real Spirit Talisman Technique you imparted to me last time is profound and vast.

I have not yet fully grasped it; once disciples learn the basics, then master can teach me other things.”

Cao Zhen also knew that Ling Xi had a low cultivation base in the past, and even as an Ancient Talisman Immortal Body, there was much in the Great Dragon Tiger Real Spirit Talisman Technique that she had no chance to comprehend or practice.

Now, at least possessing a Phenomenon Core Formation, if she continued to cultivate the treasures of Dragon Tiger Mountain Talisman, she would definitely make rapid progress and might even decipher her own Ancient Talisman Runes through this technique.

“Alright, your teacher is hungry; go make some breakfast for me,” Cao Zhen stretched and walked out of the room.

He had sat up all night manipulating the Heretical Golden Core and was tired, with back pain he couldn’t help but gently rotate his waist, “Keep breakfast from being too greasy.”

Ling Xi, after experiencing her master’s strength the night before, knew that her master wasn’t truly hungry.

With her master’s level of cultivation, he would not feel hunger even after ten or half a month without any food.

Instead, it was the disciples like Bei Yan who needed to eat to maintain their energy.

At this moment, Ling Xi felt moved.

To become her master’s disciple was truly the greatest fortune of her life.

Upon this thought, Ling Xi couldn’t help but take a high-speed step back retreat…

Seeing this scene, Cao Zhen immediately felt a headache.

He was already unable to receive his disciple’s bowing, and now with Core Formation phase cultivation, stopping her seemed impossible.

“What’s it for this time?” Cao Zhen asked helplessly.

“Disciple remembered past misunderstandings about master and feels deeply at fault…” as Ling Xi knelt earnestly on the ground, she said, “Please punish me, Master.”

“Write ‘Master is the greatest’ a thousand times, go on,” Cao Zhen continued with his helplessness.
