705: Chapter 217_3 705: Chapter 217_3 Of course, everyone had different priorities.
“Below the Core Formation Stage, most have a brief cultivation period, so the pills I refine for them will mainly aim to stimulate their potential.
For those at the Core Formation Stage and Golden Core Stage, the pills will directly increase their cultivation base, helping them to break through to the Golden Core Stage or further condense one or two Golden Cores!”
“Increase cultivation base!”
“Stimulate potential!”
Although everyone had guessed what kind of pills Cao Zhen intended to refine, they couldn’t help exclaiming out loud when they heard Cao Zhen personally confirm that he was going to refine such pills.
The pills that stimulated potential could unlock an uncertain amount of potential, but the pills that increased cultivation base offered a clearly visible effect.
In the world of immortal cultivation, pills that directly increased one’s cultivation base were very difficult to come by.
Yet Peak Master Cao had said he would help those at the Core Formation Stage break through to the Golden Core Stage and help those already in the Golden Core Stage condense one or even two more Golden Cores!
This…
It took a while for everyone to calm down.
Cao Zhen looked at everyone and asked, “Now, make your choice.
Do you agree to open the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace?”
Even though everyone was excited just moments ago, no one immediately answered when Cao Zhen asked again.
Improving the cultivation base of every member of the Hundred Peaks Sect was obviously something everyone was happy to hear, but this would involve using the resources of the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace.
Nie Jie looked around, and after a moment of silence, he was the first to speak up, “I agree to open the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace.
Under normal circumstances, even with the prospect of improving everyone’s cultivation base, I wouldn’t agree to this, for it represents the resources accumulated by the Hundred Peaks Sect over countless years and forms the foundation of our sect’s strength.
These are resources to be used only at critical moments.
However, we are now in the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.
To evaluate whether an Immortal Sect is strong, aside from looking at the top combatants of the sect, one must see how many are at the Golden Core Stage.
With Peak Master Cao, Ling Xi, Xiang Ziyu, and others, our peak combat strength is already formidable.
What we lack now are those at the Golden Core Stage!”
As soon as Nie Jie spoke, Wu Xiang also spoke, “I also agree to open the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace.
Our Hundred Peaks Sect needs to enhance its power.
Previously, had it not been for the Grand Preceptor’s disciple Yu Tuoyu who arrived in time, and if Sect Leader Cao and other key figures had not returned promptly, it’s uncertain whether we could have withstood the attacks from the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and the Great Lai Dynasty.
Had our Hundred Peaks Sect fallen, not only the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace would be lost, but perhaps our entire sect could have been plundered by the enemy.”
“I too agree to open the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace.”
“We have Sect Leader Cao with us to refine those pills.
No other sect has such an opportunity!”
“However, the Sect Leader is just one person, with limited energy.
Our Hundred Peaks Sect has so many members, and for the Sect Leader alone to refine…”
Hearing an Elder’s words of concern, Cao Zhen quickly replied, “Do not worry; my disciple Yi Sheng can also help me refine the pills.
Moreover, I can…”
As he was saying this, Nie Jie secretly transmitted a message, “Sect Leader, you must not teach the art of alchemy lightly.
Although I trust the disciples of our Hundred Peaks Sect, who knows if there are those among us possessed by demonic beasts.
Recall that during your confrontation with Starshine Peak, your opponent was possessed by a demonic beast.
Sect Leader, you must be cautious.”
Hearing this, Cao Zhen nodded slightly and transmitted back, “I have already considered this matter.
Rest assured, the core techniques are with me.
I am merely having them assist in refining the pills.”
After responding to Nie Jie, Cao Zhen turned to address the crowd, “You may send your disciples who are skilled at alchemy to assist me in refining the pills.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded their heads immediately.
“Of course.”
“This is for the sake of our Hundred Peaks Sect, and we must lend our efforts.
Moreover, assisting the Sect Leader in refining pills is also a rare opportunity for them to improve themselves.”
“I also agree to open the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace.”
One Elder after another began to voice their agreement to open the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace, and while some Elders remained silent, the number of Elders who agreed had already surpassed fifty within that brief period.
“Since this is the case, then let us open the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace,” Cao Zhen said, pausing briefly before looking at the crowd, “Since this is the case, let us, go to the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace!”
In the Hundred Peaks Sect, there was a mountain named Hidden Treasure Peak, and the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace was built there.
To open Hidden Treasure Peak, in addition to needing the Sect Leader Order, the Grand Elder Order, the Deputy Sect Leader Order, etc., the tokens of at least fifty-one Elders were also required.
After Cao Zhen returned to the Hundred Peaks Sect, Nie Jie had handed over the Sect Leader Order that he had previously kept safe on his behalf.
The Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace stood nine levels tall, with an extremely large stone door at the front of the palace, and the door was inscribed with complex scriptures.
Due to the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, the formation of the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace could only exert the power of the Golden Core Stage.
The Elders from various peaks soon came to the front of the Hidden Treasure Immortal Palace with their tokens, placing them on the massive stone door and channeling the cultivation techniques unique to their peaks to infuse mana into the door.
It wasn’t enough for the tokens of each peak to be present to open the door; the corresponding cultivation techniques were also necessary.
As the techniques were infused, beams of light began to shoot out from the vast stone door.
Soon, the light covered the surrounds of the door, leaving only the middle area untouched.
