Chapter 1582: Chapter 365
Cao Zhen had just flown away from Wansheng City, and everything he did there had already been reported to the Assassins’ Society.
Underground, the three temporary leaders of the Assassins’ Society were quietly discussing Cao Zhen.
“Even in the Dangerous Terrain, our Assassins’ Society can’t immediately grasp the information we want. What kind of means does Cao Zhen have to know the outside news so quickly?
According to our information, he had already entered the Dangerous Terrain, so it couldn’t be someone from the Hundred Peaks Sect who entered the Terrain and conveyed the news to him.
Moreover, according to the investigation of the Wanxiao Sect, no one from the Hundred Peaks Sect has entered the Dangerous Terrain recently, so it couldn’t be someone passing the message to him.”
The person in the black robe spoke in a deep voice, “He doesn’t have much to do with us, it’s actually a good thing. Since he’s around, someone will inevitably come to our Assassins’ Society to hire us to assassinate him. We can also raise the price.”
“Where is the Bleeding Tears Assassin?” suddenly, the purple-robed person spoke for the first time.
“Bleeding Tears Assassin? We don’t know where he is, but his subordinate with our talisman and mask has been lingering outside the Fourth Dangerous Terrain. Presumably, he’s in the Fourth Dangerous Terrain, and his subordinate, being too weak, hasn’t entered it.”
The blue-robed person looked at the purple-robed person in surprise, seemingly not understanding why they would inquire about the Bleeding Tears Assassin. In her view, it was normal for the Bleeding Tears Assassin to enter the Fourth Dangerous Terrain.
After all, it’s a new Immortal Land, and Earth Immortal Realms from all over the Eastern Province probably want to enter and seek their own opportunities.
The purple-robed person nodded lightly, but didn’t say anything further.
After Cao Zhen left Wansheng City, he didn’t pause at all, activated the silver light wings, and returned to the Fourth Dangerous Terrain at the fastest speed. He then found a secluded spot, channeled mana into the key, and in the next instant, returned to the small thousand worlds of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.
“So soon?”
Linghu Gudu looked at Cao Zhen, who appeared in front of him all unscathed, feeling that he hadn’t been gone for long, and now he was back?
Cao Zhen’s face turned black instantly, what’s it to you if I’m quick or not!
Before he could give his youngest disciple a piece of his mind, the voice of the Formation Spirit sounded: “Have you collected all the herbs?”
“Collected.” Cao Zhen nodded, sighing, “The Rare Treasures Commerce Association is truly affluent. Not only are the herbs sufficient for your needs, they’re enough for ten more people too.
This time, our Hundred Peaks Sect really won’t be short on herbs.”
While talking, Cao Zhen took out ten pill furnaces, waved his hand, and all the pill furnaces were ignited. He then took out one herb after another and threw them into the pill furnaces.
Behind him, Immortal Ruo Yun was stunned watching Cao Zhen’s actions and exclaimed, “What are you doing?”
Cao Zhen turned around with a puzzled look, answering Ruo Yun matter-of-factly, “I’ve set up the pill furnaces and ignited their flames. Naturally, I’m doing alchemy, what else could I be doing? Couldn’t possibly be barbecuing.”
“No, why are you using ten pill furnaces for alchemy?” Immortal Ruo Yun pointed at the ten pill furnaces before Cao Zhen, utterly confused. As a reincarnated great ability, she was adept at alchemy too, but she had never seen anyone use so many pill furnaces at once.
“You probably haven’t heard about how I did alchemy at the Rare Treasures Commerce Association’s alchemy event. Once you know, you won’t be so surprised. It’s just ten pill furnaces, what’s the big deal? You are now part of the Four Treasures Peak, you’ll have to get used to your master and fellow disciples’ remarkable undertakings.”
While talking, Cao Zhen continued throwing herbs into the pill furnaces.
Behind him, Linghu Gudu felt there was something off about this statement. Ruo Yun’s senior brothers and sisters? It seemed like only one disciple of the Four Treasures Peak was outside that scope?
Cao Zhen ignored the two new disciples and focused entirely on refining pills.
Immortal Ruo Yun, the longer she watched Cao Zhen’s alchemy, the more she questioned her own understanding. She felt like her previous life’s alchemy knowledge was completely upended. Was there really such a way to practice alchemy?
Casually tossing herbs into the pill furnaces, maintaining alchemy while still chatting with them.
Unconsciously, half a year passed by.
In that half-year, the world was quite peaceful, with nothing major happening.
It seemed that the major sects placed most of their experts and efforts on the suddenly appearing Fourth Dangerous Terrain. Other Immortal Lands usually received names fitting their dangerous traits.
But this Fourth Dangerous Terrain was unanimously referred to as just that.
The Rare Treasures Commerce Association appeared apprehensive, worried that Cao Zhen might actually target their Rare Treasures Pavilion, as they had already witnessed Cao Zhen’s prowess once.
No Rare Treasures Pavilion could withstand Cao Zhen!
So they didn’t seek trouble with the Pinbao Business Association again.
Indeed, the news of Cao Zhen raiding the Rare Treasures Commerce Association, looting one of their treasure vaults, and escaping successfully spread throughout Eastern Province.
People realized the Rare Treasures Commerce Association seemed a lot weaker than they had imagined.
And everyone knew the Rare Treasures Commerce Association was wealthy; within that half a year, several factions eyed it, ambushing the Rare Treasures Pavilion, forcing the Commerce Association to dispatch more experts to secure the pavilions in important cities, and intensively recruiting skilled individuals.
