My Master Knows It All

111: Chapter 101: You Allocated Your Attribute Points Incorrectly, Right?_1 111: Chapter 101: You Allocated Your Attribute Points Incorrectly, Right?_1 Cao Zhen saw his senior disciple’s reaction and immediately felt a headache coming on.

This third disciple was already a handful, and now the senior disciple was acting like this…

“You know the old rule, right?”

While waving her butt, Ling Xi didn’t even lift her head and said, “I know, a thousand times, ‘Master is the greatest.’ Disciple will go write it now.”

“Wait before you write; tell your master first—given your third brother’s material and his brain, how did he pass the assessment?” Cao Zhen couldn’t understand.

It couldn’t have been someone even less intelligent than Xiang Ziyu they encountered, could it?

If it were Bei Yan who had passed the assessment, that would be more believable.

Ling Xi quickly stood up, having already left nine distinct marks on the ground in the short time, then she recounted the whole story of how the exam group conducted the assessment and how Xiang Ziyu had answered.

Cao Zhen slapped his forehead in pain.

That actually worked?!

I really shouldn’t have told them so many fantasy novels.

Oh well, what’s done is done and can’t be changed.

“Go call all of them here.”

Soon, Ling Xi called over the other three who were in the midst of cultivating.

As Xiang Ziyu walked over, he was still grumbling discontentedly, “Sister, tell master that the protagonist is about to descend the mountain.

At this time, we must cherish every moment for cultivation and cannot afford any delay.

Also, tell Master that once I leave the mountain, he must stay at Four Treasures Peak and not go anywhere else.

Because whenever the protagonist leaves, his close ones always meet with accidents.”

“What on earth has gotten into you, child?” Cao Zhen was really infuriated as he pointed at his chuunibyou disciple and exclaimed, “How have I taught you all this while?

How many times have I said, ‘lay low until you burst with gear, and without Magical Equipment, you must not stand out,’ yet you dared to take part in the assessment!”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Ziyu’s eyes lit up even brighter, and he said excitedly, “Right, that’s exactly it.

When the protagonist is about to leave the mountain, the people around him will all persuade him not to, and his master will even blame him.

Everything is correct; I feel it, the waterwheel of destiny has started to turn.”

Cao Zhen almost fainted with exasperation.

It was hopeless!

This third disciple of his was beyond saving, and he really did not want to engage any deeper with Xiang Ziyu in this adolescent syndrome.

“Whatever, you’ve already passed the assessment.

The rules of the sect cannot be violated, and your departure cannot be changed.

Since you don’t have Magical Equipment, then at the very least you should work on raising your strength, even a minor piece would be good.” He pondered for a moment before continuing, “So, go to the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace’s Hidden Dragon Observatory.

Once there, they will naturally let you in.”

Ever since he went to the Hidden Dragon Observatory for cultivation, Cao Zhen had learned that there are actually three ways to enter the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace’s Hidden Dragon Observatory.

The first way is, as with him, when the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace learns that the other party has a Perfectly Completed Dao Platform with an anomaly, they will directly invite the individual to cultivate at the Hidden Dragon Observatory.

The second way is that one possesses a Perfectly Completed Dao Platform with an anomaly within, and even if the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace is unaware, one can still directly go there and enter the Hidden Dragon Observatory.

As for the third way, it is to force one’s way in!

If one can fight their way through and pass the tests, they can also enter the Hidden Dragon Observatory, but no one from the Hundred Peaks Sect has ever successfully broken through since its establishment.

Xiang Ziyu fit the second scenario and thus could naturally enter the Hidden Dragon Observatory.

“Enter the Hidden Dragon Observatory!” Upon hearing this, Xiang Ziyu’s chuunibyou nature surged even more, “Now that I can enter the Hidden Dragon Observatory, I must bring back all those Orphan Pearls, especially things like rings—perhaps one of those rings contains an old man with a white beard.”

Next to him, Little Bei Yan perked up and looking at his master and then at his senior brother, suddenly exclaimed, “Master, I also want to take a look inside.”

He had been staying on Four Treasures Peak for so long that he was starting to get a bit bored, and he wanted to visit Hidden Dragon Observatory.

Besides, tagging along with his third senior brother was sure to be lively.

Cao Zhen didn’t hesitate and readily agreed, “Since you want to go, then come along.” After all, whether one person goes or two, it’s the same trip.

Thinking this, he turned to his senior disciple Ling Xi and said, “You come along too.

Oh, right, and Yi Sheng—perfect, you all go together this time.” Since two were already going, two more wouldn’t make a difference.

However, Ling Xi shook her head and said, “Master, I can’t go.

If I do, there’ll be no one to take care of you.”

“Can’t I take care of myself?” Cao Zhen laughed lightly but still nodded, “Since you don’t want to go now, then stay.

Just as well, I’m planning to collaborate with Seven Star Peak to have them help us with talisman making.

You can teach them how to make talismans.”

On hearing that her master was planning to teach others talisman making again, and that it was a large group this time, Ling Xi frowned deeply with concern and said, “Master, our talisman making techniques from Four Treasures Peak… just teaching them to others…”

“Big Sister, you’re thinking too small!” Yi Sheng suddenly interjected, “Master is looking to do business!

It must be from that business plan from last time, right?”

Cao Zhen noticed that Yi Sheng, who had just looked so downcast, suddenly perked up as if injected with chicken blood.

“You guys go ahead to Hidden Dragon Observatory first.

I’ll stay and help Master handle the business,” said Yi Sheng, then immediately turned with an excited face to Cao Zhen, “Oh right, Master, going to the people of Seven Star Peak this time for a collaboration in talisman making is still thinking too small.

The people from Seven Star Peak are too few and their cultivation base is relatively low, so naturally, the Gathering Spirit Talismans they can make won’t be of high level.

We should look toward the other peaks next, right?

Let your disciple handle this!

I think that we shouldn’t approach all the peaks in one go!

And those ranked really high, let’s not approach them for the time being!

Not to mention that it would be hard to get them to agree, even if they did, we couldn’t negotiate a good price.

The lower fifty peaks are our best initial negotiating and collaboration partners.

Big Sister has taught me several simple Spirit Talisman making methods, and I have also made some myself.

I believe that with our talisman making techniques from Four Treasures Peak, it’s only a matter of time before we can expand the business.

Soon it won’t be us seeking out others but the people from the other peaks coming to us to do business.

And, we shouldn’t just focus on the peaks; we can also approach those Taoist Institutions.

No need to look for the disciples; find the Deans directly and negotiate with them.

First, it would hone the Taoist students’ talisman making ability, second, bring revenue to the Institutions, and third, give the Deans a share of the benefits.

The Taoist Institutions within the Hundred Peaks Sect make up a not insignificant group!

Once we take over a major share of the Gathering Spirit Talismans market, those who refine materials should get our approval for purchases, but they need to pay the money, and we can use that time…”

Cao Zhen looked at Yi Sheng, who was speaking passionately, with astonishment, growing more incredulous as she spoke, and even began questioning his life choices toward the end.

This girl… she’s a ruthless businesswoman!

When I was working on that business plan, I felt Old Ma’s approach was too capitalist, so I made the plan more temperate, forming a mutually beneficial partnership.

Naturally, Four Treasures Peak was still going to be the primary beneficiary.

Little did I expect that this girl, after just glancing at the business plan, brought back most of the really exploitative capitalist ideas that I had previously cut out!

If this girl had been on Earth, joining the Grand Theft Group, she might well become the group’s first female Sect Leader!

And that part about centralizing the procurement of materials, charging fees from each peak, and then deferring the unified distribution of payments until later, why does that sound so much like Old Ma?

Using a certain Pay treasure to hoard a significant cash flow?

Is this girl really a genius at immortal cultivation?

Were her skill points allocated correctly at birth?

It looks like they were all invested in business acumen!
