My Master Knows It All-Chapter 547 - 189_2

In the room, Cao Zhen feigned surprise as he looked at Li Ke and asked, "Dragon senior Long Aotian? He sent you to find me, did he?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Li Ke spoke softly, "Dragon senior wishes to transmit a Divine Skill to me. When it was your turn, he had already passed the Divine Skill on to you."

"What Divine Skill?" Cao Zhen still looked puzzled as he said, "Dragon senior has given me too many Divine Skills to count."

"Dragon senior Long Aotian said that when he taught you the Divine Skill for cultivating the Fire of Departure, he passed it on together with it," Li Ke explained, and to prevent Cao Zhen from being unsure which Divine Skill she referred to, she added, "I have a piece of jade stone formed from the Vermilion Bird Essence Blood. Dragon senior’s intention is that, with this jade stone as the foundation, he can transmit a Divine Skill to me."

Cao Zhen put on a shocked expression and exclaimed in a low voice, "You from Vermilion Bird Peak, you actually have Vermilion Bird blood! What does Vermilion Bird Essence Blood look like? Show me quickly, I’ve never seen such a treasure."

"Li Ke reached into her Qiankun Bag and took out the Vermilion Bird blood jade, placing it in Cao Zhen’s hand."

Upon holding the jade stone, Cao Zhen instantly felt a searing heat, as if a red-hot branding iron was being tightly clasped in his hand.

He hastily gathered some mana in his palm, yet even so, he could feel the burning sensation radiating from the jade stone.

The jade stone was not large; it looked about the same size as ordinary jade buttons. This stone, though called jade, seemed more like a piece of chicken blood stone to him.

Li Ke fought the urge to snatch the Vermilion Bird blood jade back from Cao Zhen’s hand, and asked, "Which Divine Skill did Dragon senior actually tell you about?"

Cao Zhen feigned ignorance, "Dragon senior Long Aotian didn’t tell you which Divine Skill?"

"Dragon senior Long Aotian was pressed for time, he only said so much before vanishing. He asked me to come to you," Li Ke observed the doubtful look on Cao Zhen’s face and suddenly realized that this Cao Zhen seemed somewhat unreliable.

"Is that so..." Cao Zhen looked down at the Vermilion Bird blood jade in his hand, feigning contemplation. After a long moment, he finally spoke slowly, "With Vermilion Bird Essence Blood jade like this, the Divine Skill Dragon senior wants you to cultivate is probably the Vermilion Bird Heaven Combustion."

"Probably?" Li Ke became even more doubtful of Cao Zhen as she heard the tone of his voice. She retorted, "Are you sure?"

Cao Zhen was still uncertain as he said, "It should be, right? Cultivating the Vermilion Bird Heaven Combustion should yield the Vermilion Bird’s lesser fire."

"Vermilion Bird’s lesser fire!" Li Ke’s expression changed drastically as she did in a Sichuan opera face-changing act; her face, which had been filled with skepticism, immediately showed a burst of excitement as she exclaimed, "Yes, that must be the Divine Skill! How should I cultivate it?"

With her current cultivation base at the Golden Core Stage, she feared she wouldn’t be able to condense the true fire of the Vermilion Bird.

And to her knowledge, within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, no one had managed to condense the fire of the Vermilion Bird. However, there were some who could condense the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire.

The so-called Vermilion Bird’s sham fire appears like the true fire of the Vermilion Bird, but in reality, it is a counterfeit fire of the Vermilion Bird.

Even so, the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire is strong enough.

The Peak Master of their Vermilion Bird Peak used the Vermilion Bird blood jade to condense the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire, and had succeeded. The Peak Master also left behind the inheritance of how to concoct the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire.

However, her mentor did not cultivate the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire.

In her mentor’s opinion, while the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire is strong, it’s a bit of a waste for someone of the Earth Immortal Realm to use the Vermilion Bird blood jade to cultivate the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire.

Yet, her mentor did advise her to cultivate the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire.

Being at the Golden Core Stage, the boost to her combat power from the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire would be substantial.

Her mentor even collected all the necessary materials for cultivating the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire, but she did not rush to practice it.

Her mentor had said, using the Vermilion Bird blood jade to cultivate the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire was somewhat wasteful.

Why should she cultivate the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire?

Of course, if the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth arrived and their Vermilion Bird Peak or the Hundred Peaks Sect encountered danger,

she would naturally cultivate the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire to enhance her combat power.

Even when the Immortals’ Martial Meet began, she did not cultivate the Vermilion Bird’s sham fire unless doing so would guarantee her the position of State Preceptor.

Now, Cao Zhen was telling her that cultivating that Divine Skill could allow her to cultivate the Vermilion Bird’s lesser fire!

The Vermilion Bird’s lesser fire was different from the sham fire; it truly contained a trace of the Vermilion Bird’s fire’s essence!

How could she not be excited about the prospect of cultivating the Vermilion Bird’s lesser fire!

Seeing Li Ke’s excited demeanor, Cao Zhen couldn’t help but interrupt, asking rather teasingly, "Are you happy?"

Li Ke nodded repeatedly; she didn’t dare to provoke Cao Zhen now, for he was in control of the Divine Skill for cultivating the Vermilion Bird’s lesser fire.

Cao Zhen shook his head in discouragement, "You’re happy too soon. To cultivate the Vermilion Bird Heaven Combustion Divine Skill, it’s not enough to have just a jade stone formed from Vermilion Bird Essence Blood. You’ll also need various materials, and I don’t know if you have the resources to buy them.

And even you have the money, you might still be unable to find certain materials, like the rhino horn of a thousand-year Fire Rhinoceros, and..."

Cao Zhen listed several precious materials in succession.

Li Ke, however, opened her Qiankun Bag and took out one material after another, saying, "Except for the rhino horn of a thousand-year Fire Rhinoceros, I have everything you just mentioned."
