My Master Knows It All

410: Chapter 165 I Wasn’t Boasting, Was I?_3 410: Chapter 165 I Wasn’t Boasting, Was I?_3 If it had been a normal situation, they wouldn’t have sent a Cave Master and their disciples to engage in a doctrinal debate.

This time, it was entirely because of Cao Zhen that it happened.

Wu Jianzi said Cao Zhen was his Sword Dao Pathfinder.

Such words would not be spoken carelessly.

In other words, Cao Zhen’s Sword Dao was more profound than Wu Jianzi’s.

So why didn’t Cao Zhen speak out during the previous sword discussions?

Why didn’t he defeat the Cave Masters of the Thousand Caves Door?

He must have known that Wu Jianzi would return, and even conspired with Wu Jianzi in advance, intending to use him to strike at their Thousand Caves Door.

What a schemer, Cao Zhen truly is a master schemer!

This time, with only Cao Zhen fighting his way through their Thousand Caves Door and engaging in countless debates, they didn’t win even once!

Then there was Wu Jianzi, crushing their Cave Masters in debate.

Once this news spread, their Thousand Caves Door would be completely suppressed by the Hundred Peaks Sect.

The Hundred Peaks Sect, how did they produce such a sly character!

Cao Zhen, seeing that Wu Jianzi had finished his doctrinal debate, smiled and walked over to Elder Huan Kong, just like a creditor looking at his debtor, and said, “Elder, our doctrinal debates have ended.

Now, shouldn’t we talk about other matters?”

Elder Huan Kong looked at Cao Zhen with foggy eyes: “Other matters?

What matters?”

Cao Zhen raised his hand and pointed towards the multitude of people from the Thousand Caves Door and said, “Look, so many people from your Thousand Caves Door have achieved Enlightenment because of me.

Shouldn’t you show some gratitude?”

As Cao Zhen spoke, he also stretched out one hand and rubbed it together, making a gesture of asking for money.

Elder Huan Kong was completely stunned, as he never imagined Cao Zhen would say such things.

Cao Zhen, he was the Peak Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

He actually, in front of so many people, blatantly asked for benefits!

How could he have the nerve to say it!

They were both among the top ten Immortal Sects, didn’t he care about face at all?

Cao Zhen, seeing that Elder Huan Kong didn’t speak, immediately became anxious and urged, “Elder Huan Kong, you don’t intend to renege, do you?”

“Renege?” Elder Huan Kong’s eyes suddenly widened, annoyed, “What renege?

Our Thousand Caves Door doesn’t owe your Hundred Peaks Sect any money!”

“Of course, our people from the Thousand Caves Door, having achieved Enlightenment because of you, we should show our appreciation.”

Elder Huan Kong pointed towards the Flying Boat that Cao Zhen had refined and said, “This Flying Boat, we of the Thousand Caves Door will gift it to you.”

“The Flying Boat?

Isn’t this Flying Boat that I myself have refined?” Cao Zhen looked at Elder Huan Kong with a puzzled face and asked, “Shouldn’t what I have refined myself belong to me?”

“It’s true that you refined it yourself, but the materials for that Flying Boat – does Peak Master Cao not know their worth?

Moreover, there are Formations embedded on the Flying Boat, the cost of materials alone amounts to a value of a million tael of Spirit Stones.”

Elder Huan Kong was so angered he almost cursed out loud.

Normally, if others came for a doctrinal debate, whether it be Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or crafting mechanisms, letting them take the item would be fine; at most, it would be a few tens of thousands of tael of Spirit Stones in material costs, which their Thousand Caves Door could afford.

But the problem was the cost of the materials for Cao Zhen’s Flying Boat was over a million tael of Spirit Stones; it was their Thousand Caves Door’s Spirit Stones, why should he just give it to Cao Zhen directly?

Cao Zhen, looking at Elder Huan Kong with the eyes one would give to a miser, casually waved his hand and said, “Let’s not discuss the value of this Flying Boat for now; next, let’s talk about other things.”

“Other things?” Elder Huan Kong was no longer composed.

Cao Zhen looked at Elder Huan Kong as if it were to be expected and said, “How can there be nothing else?

As you know, Enlightenment is extremely rare and not something to be encountered on demand!

Would it be too much for me to ask for some more things?”

“Alright, Peak Master Cao, you tell me, what do you want?” Elder Huan Kong finally nodded in agreement, as Enlightenment was indeed rare.

Since Cao Zhen asked for something, it wouldn’t be good for him to refuse.

“That’s more like it.

What I want isn’t much, how about some medicinal materials, Elder?

I just happen to lack some for Alchemy.

Elder, take note, one Dark Cloud Real Fruit aged over ninety thousand years, plus two Traceless Herbs…”

Cao Zhen listed one Spirit Grass after another; he had already helped Xiang Ziyu to reach the Perfect Completion Golden Core, but he also had other disciples, and he certainly couldn’t neglect the others.

Furthermore, the Qiankun small epoch was soon to arrive, and if he were to craft Pills for his other disciples, he couldn’t afford to be too slow.

Thus, he needed some medicinal materials to speed up the process of Alchemy.

As a result, the amount of medicinal materials he required was extraordinarily large, and these materials were not commonly found.

Seizing the opportunity to fleece them, he naturally couldn’t let it pass.

As Cao Zhen spoke eagerly, Elder Huan Kong interrupted, “Peak Master Cao, what you’re asking for is too much.

Upon maturation, Dark Cloud Real Fruits are of great use.

It’s rare to see even a ten-thousand-year Dark Cloud Real Fruit, not to mention one of ninety thousand years.

“Regarding the Traceless Herb, they are so named because, like their name suggests, these Spirit Grasses seem to leave no trace, moving at every moment upon maturation, making them extremely difficult to find.

Yet you ask for two, and other Spirit Grasses…”

Cao Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, “Are you saying that I’m asking for too much, Elder Huan Kong?”
