My Master Knows It All

298: Chapter 146: I Have a Book_1 298: Chapter 146: I Have a Book_1 The Military God Peak within the Hundred Peaks Sect belonged to a very special peak.

Although the Hundred Peaks Sect was considered a miscellaneous sect, there were still many peaks within the sect that cultivated the same path.

For instance, the Zen Cultivation peaks included Little Zen Peak, Precious Look Peak, and Blue Domain Peak.

Those following the Calligraphy Dao had Immortal Pen Peak and Wonderful Pen Peak, and the peaks focused on the fire system had Vermilion Bird Peak and Azure Pheasant Peak…

However, the only peak that focused on the path of Military Law was the Military God Peak!

Even many disciples knew very little about the Military God Peak.

After all, pursuing the path of Military Law seemed too strange in their eyes.

Others following the path of painting and calligraphy, entering the Dao through painting and calligraphy, were understandable.

The path of Military Law?

Entering the Dao through Military Law?

How could one enter the Dao through Military Law?

The only thing they knew was that the disciples of the Military God Peak often entered the secular world, joined the army, and honed their military tactics.

Beyond that, their knowledge was very limited.

Nevertheless, the strength of the Military God Peak was extremely formidable; it has always been among the top twenty peaks, and in the latest ranking of the Hundred Peaks, it was ranked fifteenth.

This ranking was due to the fact that the Military God Peak had very few disciples; it was one of the five peaks with the fewest disciples among the Upper Fifty Peaks.

Many people said that if only the Military God Peak had more disciples, it would have a chance to break into the Top Ten Peaks.

It’s not that the Military God Peak did not want to recruit more disciples, but entering the path of Military Law was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Those who managed to enter the path were all outstanding individuals, and even so, taking further steps was incredibly difficult.

But anyone who graduated from the Military God Peak was a dragon among men, unparalleled in combat!

Cao Zhen had visited many of the Upper Fifty Peaks, and he felt that the Military God Peak had the fewest disciples among the peaks he visited.

Although he had no connection with the Military God Peak, being a Peak Master himself and having attracted considerable attention twice in a row—an especially prominent figure in the Hundred Peaks Sect at the time—he easily met with the Peak Master of the Military God Peak, Li Junshen.

“Peak Master Li, I heard that on your peak, there’s a Millennium Twin Dragon Bamboo.

I wonder if I could persuade you to part with it,” Cao Zhen asked courteously, looking at the slightly plump figure before him, particularly the large belly, and the man with a tuft of beard on his jaw—Li Junshen.

“Millennium Twin Dragon Bamboo?

No way!” Li Junshen refused outright without a second thought, “The Millennium Twin Dragon Bamboo is essential for my Military God Peak!”

“Peak Master Li, we can pay for it,” Cao Zhen immediately said, “I am willing to offer Spirit Stones, no, I mean I will pay with Spirit Crystals for your peak’s Millennium Twin Dragon Bamboo.”

“No matter how many Spirit Crystals you offer, I won’t sell,” Li Junshen gave off an air that he had no interest in talking further with Cao Zhen, saluting with his hands, and said, “I have matters to attend to, so if you please, Peak Master Cao.”

“Peak Master, I could add something else to the deal, like a Fourth-Grade Spirit Field.

Would you be interested?

I have two Fourth-Grade Spirit Fields.

Or perhaps you would like to visit my Four Treasures Peak?

Whatever you fancy, just name it,” Cao Zhen said reluctantly.

Since he was in a position of needing help, it was up to him to give the other party an opportunity to ask for a high price.

He needed to refine the pill within a month, otherwise, if Xiang Ziyu, who was only at the Core Formation Stage, decided to leave the mountain, he seriously feared his disciple might end up wasting his life away on frivolous pursuits.

“You need not say anymore, Peak Master Cao.

No matter what you offer, I will not trade with you.

In deducing Military Law, the Millennium Twin Dragon Bamboo is irreplaceable for my Military God Peak,” Li Junshen replied.

Cao Zhen was genuinely at a loss.

No matter what he suggested, even to the point of offering Divine Skills, Li Junshen simply wouldn’t budge with two words: no exchange.

If the people of the Military God Peak wouldn’t trade, what about the Puppet Peak?

As far as he knew, the Mechanism Warriors manufactured by the Puppet Peak were incredibly popular among all the peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect, especially among the Upper Fifty Peaks, where nearly every peak possessed various Mechanism Warriors from the Puppet Peak.

The Puppet Peak really wasn’t short on money.

If he couldn’t even trade for materials from the Military God Peak, it would likely be even harder to secure the Millennium Fish-Dragon Silk from Puppet Peak.

Compared to the Military God Peak, the Puppet Peak clearly had many more disciples.

Apart from a few peaks like Four Treasures Peak, where disciples were far too few to guard the gate, most of the peaks in the Hundred Peaks Sect had their gates guarded by disciples.

The Puppet Peak, however, wasn’t protected by disciples; instead, it was guarded by two Meting Warriors.

The two Meting Warriors quickly escorted Cao Zhen to the top of the mountain.

The Peak Master of the Puppet Peak personally greeted him and ordered his disciples to serve the finest Fragrant Tea.

With a smile on his face, he asked, “Peak Master Cao, what brings you to our Puppet Peak?”

Cao Zhen observed the smile plastered on the face of the Puppet Peak’s Master, and his heart leapt with joy; Peak Master Zhou was behaving unusually.

Many Peak Masters from the Hundred Peaks Sect, because of purchasing his Four Treasures Peak, had lost a considerable sum of money and probably harbored no small amount of resentment against him.

Yet this Peak Master Zhou, upon seeing him, was so enthusiastic?

He didn’t even use puppets to serve the tea but directly had his disciples do it.

He had no prior interactions with him, and this level of enthusiasm surely signified an ulterior motive.

What he feared was that Peak Master Zhou would be like the Peak Master of the Military God Peak, with no desires.

However, if he had desires, the deal might be made.

Cao Zhen took a light sip of the Fragrant Tea, set down the tea cup, and said with an equal smile, “Oh, nothing much, I’ve just always heard about how incredible your sect’s Mechanism Warriors are, so I wanted to come and see for myself.”

Knowing that the other party might have a request, he naturally did not take the initiative to say what he wanted to do.

Wouldn’t that just give the other party a chance to ask for more?

Since the other party had an ulterior motive, they would definitely make the first move, and it was better to let them do so first for bargaining later.

“Is that so?” Peak Master Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, smiling as he asked, “Peak Master Cao, are you perhaps looking to buy some warriors from our Puppet Peak?”
