92: Chapter 88 Getting Rich_1 92: Chapter 88 Getting Rich_1 “Zi Yu,” Cao Zhen called out to Xiang Ziyu, pointing to the book on the ground, “your book.”
“No need!” Xiang Ziyu said with a grin, “Once the protagonist rises, he must cultivate diligently and no longer has the leisure ti to read such books.
I feared this day would co too soon, so I hurried to read as much as I could.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have ti once the day of ascent arrived.
I didn’t expect that day to co even sooner than I thought.”
Cao Zhen initially wanted to persuade his disciple to go see a doctor when he had ti, but then he thought that since the disciple wasn’t going to read books anymore and would be focused on rigorous cultivation, there was no need for him to read.
“This, what’s it…’immortal body’ of yours, does it have any special traits?” Cao Zhen collected his thoughts, but he couldn’t find any records about this body in his mind.
He was curious about what an ‘immortal body’ even Zhang Daoling hadn’t seen might entail.
“Disciple doesn’t know either,” Xiang Ziyu said nonchalantly.
“Master, don’t worry about these details.
It’s just that during that ti just now, I kept hearing strange sounds, but they weren’t spoken words, just sounds.”
Cao Zhen was curious, “Can you demonstrate it for your master?”
After pondering for a while, Xiang Ziyu shook his head and said, “I can’t rember.”
Cao Zhen was skeptical about the truthfulness of his third disciple’s words.
Would a person who proclaims himself to be the protagonist every day also keep secrets from his master?
“Master, I truly can’t rember,” Xiang Ziyu hastily said upon seeing Cao Zhen’s look.
“Master has been so good to , there’s no need for to hide anything.
A true protagonist would tell everything to those closest to him, to help them improve their cultivation bases.”
“All right,” Cao Zhen said, too lazy to ponder whether Xiang Ziyu’s words were truthful or not.
“You probably won’t break through anyti soon, so I’ll pass on a few divine skills for you to practice slowly.
Start with the Five-thunder Righteous thod…”
Xiang Ziyu reentered his ditative state, cross-legged.
As Cao Zhen finished his last word, Xiang Ziyu raised his hand and rapidly swung it down, causing a thunderbolt as thick as a basin to slam down in front of him.
Level ten Five-thunder Righteous thod?
Cao Zhen blinked hard.
His disciple had mastered level ten Five-thunder Righteous thod just after learning it?
What kind of learning ability was this?
“There are still many insufficiencies,” Xiang Ziyu said, looking seriously at his palm as he entered a reflective stage.
“Although it’s due to insufficient cultivation, the control during the casting was also off.
Otherwise, it could have been even more powerful.”
Cao Zhen had seen Yan Yourong’s learning ability and had witnessed Ling Xi’s speed in cultivating divine skills.
Even if they were practicing divine skills that perfectly suited their ‘immortal bodies,’ their learning speed was not as fast as what he was witnessing now.
“You should go out for now.
The Five-thunder Righteous thod gets harder as you go higher.
Co find again when you’ve reached your current limits,” Cao Zhen said, sending Xiang Ziyu out of the room before quickly accessing Zhonghua Cloud to open Ling Xi’s panel.
User: Ling Xi

Cultivation base: Core Formation Stage, one core
Identity: Chief disciple of Four Treasures Peak at Hundred Peaks Sect
Aptitude: Ancient Talisman Immortal Body
Specialty: Hundred Percent Kowtow Style
Total experience points: 60,000
Additional available experience points: 10,000
10,000 additional experience!
Cao Zhen took an excited breath, very curious about Xiang Ziyu’s status.
Was his also stacked with so much extra experience?
If he could raise his admin level, he would gain a much deeper understanding of himself, wouldn’t he?
After a brief thought, Cao Zhen opened his own panel, considering how to use Ling Xi’s extra experience to gain higher admin privileges for himself.
Zhonghua Cloud Level Six Admin: Cao Zhen
Gender: Male
Cultivation base: Core Formation Stage, seven cores
Identity: Forr programr, current Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak in Hundred Peaks Sect, Pill King
Specialty: Programming, Grandmaster of Theoretical Alchemy, Grandmaster of Immortal Cultivation Theory
Owner of: Four Treasures Peak
Total cultivation experience points: 150,000
Additional experience points: 15,000
Alchemy level: Level 55
Talisman level: Level 10
Formation level: Level 0
Sword of Dodging: Level 30
Five-thunder Righteous thod: Level 25
Level 25 Five-thunder Righteous thod?
Cao Zhen glanced again at Yan Yourong’s panel and noted that his second disciple’s Five-thunder Righteous thod was also level 25, and her Sword of Dodging had already reached level 30.
He realized that he had ‘won’ his way to levels 25 and 30 while lying down.
It seed he had to find a way for his disciples’ cultivation bases to catch up to his.
That would enable them to easily ‘win’ their way up in various divine skills and secret techniques.
His alchemy level was adequate for now, even for crafting the more challenging Dragon and Tiger Golden Pill.
Besides, considering the extra experience of all the linked disciples together, it would probably be difficult to push alchemy to level 60.
One cannot advance to the next admin level of China Cloud without reaching level 60.
“Then I’ll just pile on the Formations.” Cao Zhen tossed in 10,000 experience points, and the Formation Level instantly reached the Realm of level 40.
‘Formation Level increase breaks through the barrier; admin level increases by one, connect to one random user, and connect to one designated user.’
When Cao Zhen heard the voice from China Cloud, he realized it was just as he had thought: as long as the other levels exceeded level 40, he could raise his admin level.
‘Random user connection complete: Sun Zi.’
Sun Zi?
I don’t even have a son, where did a grandson co from?
Cao Zhen wanted to open the panel but heard China Cloud prompting him to connect to the designated user.
“Connect to my third disciple, Xiang Ziyu.”
Cao Zhen heard the ssage from China Cloud that the connection was successful, and without looking to see what state the “grandson” was in, he quickly opened up Xiang Ziyu’s panel.
User: Xiang Ziyu
Gender: Male
Cultivation Base: Core Formation Stage, One Pill
Identity: Third disciple of Four Treasures Peak of Hundred Peaks Sect
Aptitude: Primitive Yin-Yang Immortal Demon King Body
Specialty: All-Creatures Instant Understanding
Total Experience Points: 60,000
Extra Available Experience Points: 10,000
Alchemy Level: Level 0
Talisman Level: Level 5
Formation Level: 0
Sword of Dodging: Level 5
Five-thunder Righteous thod: Level 10
All-Creatures Instant Understanding?
What the hell is that?
Full of curiosity, Cao Zhen suspected his eyes were deceiving him, had Xiang Ziyu, after training for such a short ti, reached level 10?
Could this be what All-Creatures Instant Understanding is about?
To learn it just like that?
While Cao Zhen was doubting his eyesight, he saw the Five-thunder Righteous thod on Xiang Ziyu’s panel jump to level 11.
Then, Cao Zhen heard Xiang Ziyu talking to himself outside the cave the next day.
“This Five Thunderbolt Formation thod isn’t too difficult to cultivate.
It seems like I’m having another breakthrough with just so casual practice…”
“Zi Yu, co back here for a minute!” Cao Zhen urgently called out loud.
Xiang Ziyu hurried back into the cave, looking puzzled at his master.
“Co, sit down!
Your master will teach you sothing else,” Cao Zhen beckoned Xiang Ziyu, showing an excited smile.
“Didn’t master tell to focus on the Five-thunder Righteous thod first…”
“When I tell you to co over, you co over!
When I tell you to sit down, you sit down!
Why all the questions?”
Cao Zhen felt he might have discovered a shortcut to quickly “win” various Divine Skills lying down, so he couldn’t maintain his usual state of detached equanimity.
“Master, don’t rush,” Xiang Ziyu quickly sat down to persuade, “Usually, it’s when the master is about to die that he desperately passes on secret techniques and Divine Skills to the protagonist.
Please don’t be in such a hurry, I don’t want my master to perish so soon…”
“This is the Star Pointer your master is passing on to you…”
Cao Zhen quickly explained the thod of cultivating the Star Pointer, and before long, a three-inch hole was punched through the wall of the cave by Xiang Ziyu raising his hand using the Star Pointer.
Although Four Treasures Peak was poor, the walls of the cave had been built with a great deal of money by the ancestors, and their strength was not comparable to ordinary rocks.
It was difficult for common Divine Skills to leave a mark on the walls of the cave.
Cao Zhen hurriedly checked both his own and Xiang Ziyu’s panels and found that the Star Pointer was level 10.
“Zi Yu, your master thinks you might really be on a protagonist’s template,” Cao Zhen couldn’t help but say with a smile, “Co, your master will pass on to you a few more profound Divine Skills.
You don’t have to do anything these days, just retreat and practice hard for your master.”
Xiang Ziyu didn’t pay much attention to what his master was saying in the latter part, only relieved that his master had such good judgnt.
A master with such good judgnt usually had good discernnt, and those with good discernnt tended not to die off too soon.
“Don’t look at your master with that kind of gaze; your master can live for a long ti.” Cao Zhen taught Xiang Ziyu the Dragon-Tiger Dharma Seal and the Monunt-Erecting Divine Skills and then sent him off to practice right away.
After sending Xiang Ziyu off, Cao Zhen went back to studying the Heretical Golden Core’s All-Creatures Pill and found that there was now a black shadow and a white shadow on top of the Heretical Golden Core; these two humanoid shadows were very much like the two shadows on the Dao Platform of Xiang Ziyu’s vision.
“I’ll first study the runes of my eldest disciple on how to place them in my Dao Platform…” Cao Zhen started to focus on the research, “When you see Bei Yan, have him co over too.”
