My Master Knows It All

432: Chapter 169: Wealthy and Imposing_2 432: Chapter 169: Wealthy and Imposing_2 Cao Zhen replied truthfully, “I strolled around the Capital City to experience the prosperity of the largest city in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.”

Lan Pili nodded and said, “So Peak Master Cao went to the Immortal Market in the Capital City?

Speaking of which, as the first major city of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, the variety of materials available here is indeed comprehensive.”

“Old Lan, you misunderstood, I haven’t been to the Immortal Market yet, tomorrow, I will go to the Immortal Market tomorrow.”

Another day passed, and Cao Zhen was surprised to find that not only Lan Pili but also a group of disciples from the Hundred Peaks Sect had gathered.

It was his first visit to the Capital City, and likewise for the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect; they too wanted to go to the Immortal Reception House to take a look.

Cao Zhen had visited the markets of the Hundred Peaks Sect and those in Set Soil City before, but it was only now, in the market of the Capital City, that he realized the markets he had visited before could only be called markets; the markets here in the Capital City could even be considered a city in their own right.

The Immortal Market of the Capital City was really too vast, perhaps because a new sovereign was about to ascend the throne, people from various Immortal Sects had sent representatives here, resulting in Immortal Cultivation practitioners being seen everywhere within the Immortal Market of the Capital City.

Cao Zhen once again recognized the bustling activity of the Capital City; the market had far too many types of materials available.

He had visited the market of the Hundred Peaks Sect several times before and was sure that all the materials available there could be found here.

Many materials that were available here, however, were nowhere to be seen in the market of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

He had originally just wanted to look around, but as he continued, he found himself unable to stop.

There were just too many precious materials here, and although the Grand Preceptor had given him many medicinal herbs the day before yesterday and had said that he would be given a batch of materials in due time,

no one could be certain that the materials given by the Grand Preceptor would be enough to gather everything he needed.

Besides, some precious materials were truly hard to come by; if he didn’t buy them today, who knew whether they would still be available later.

Cao Zhen began to buy frantically.

Although he hadn’t brought much money on this trip, Elder Shadowless’s Qiankun Bag contained both Spiritual Stone Tickets and Spiritual Crystal Tickets.

Lan Pili, watching Cao Zhen constantly buying, couldn’t help but tug at his sleeve and whispered, “Old Cao, I notice you’re paying for these things using Spiritual Stone Tickets from a Qiankun Bag, isn’t that Elder Shadowless’s?”

Elder Shadowless had said that these items were to be brought back and handed over to the people of the Shadowless Pavilion…

As members of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, we must keep our promises…”

“Old Lan, what do you take me for?” Cao Zhen pointed to the Qiankun Bag and said, “How could I possibly embezzle Elder Shadowless’s money?

Didn’t you see that I haven’t touched the materials inside?

I’m using Spiritual Stone Tickets for my purchases, and there’s no distinguishing those tokens.

Since I didn’t bring enough money this time, I’m just borrowing some from Elder Shadowless for now.

When I return to Four Treasures Peak, I will repay whatever amount of Spiritual Stone Tickets I’ve used from Elder Shadowless.”

Lan Pili expressed his surprise, “Repay it all?

Old Cao, you’ve already spent seven or eight million taels of spirit stones; is Four Treasures Peak that wealthy?”

“Isn’t it just seven or eight million taels of spirit stones?

That’s not a problem at all.” Cao Zhen didn’t care in the least.

Lan Pili found it strange; he knew that back when Cao Zhen was in the Hundred Peaks Sect, he was always coming up with ways to swindle other people’s money, so Four Treasures Peak should really be short on cash.

How could Cao Zhen not care about seven or eight million taels of spirit stones?

That number behind was in the millions, not just seven or eight hundred taels.

Could it be that after Cao Zhen returned, he could ask his partner Li Ke for the money?

Now, Cao Zhen finally understood why Ma Shoufu, in his previous life, was able to become the wealthiest person; this feeling of buying and buying was truly exhilarating and addictive.

He spent a total of fifteen million taels of spirit stones in the market before he finally called it quits.

The main reason wasn’t that he didn’t want to buy anymore, but that he had almost depleted all of Elder Shadowless’s Spiritual Stone Tickets and Spiritual Crystal Tickets.

After wandering about for an entire day, they finally returned to the Immortal Reception House.

On the fourth day of his arrival in the Capital City, just after breakfast, he heard a commotion outside the door.

Cao Zhen, curious, asked Lan Pili who had just returned from outside, “Old Lan, what’s happening?

Who has arrived that’s causing such a commotion outside?”

“People from the Thousand Caves Door and the Dharma Apex Sect, and also, also people from the Divine Occurrence Sect have arrived.

With three of the Ten Great Immortal Sects showing up at the same time, how could it not be chaotic outside?

Let’s go.

With people from the Ten Great Immortal Sects arriving, we, as members of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, must also go and take a look, especially at the Divine Occurrence Sect; I want to see who they have sent to lead the group this time.”

“People from the Dharma Apex Sect are also here, good, I also want to meet with the people from the Dharma Apex Sect.” Cao Zhen followed Lan Pili out, with many disciples from the Hundred Peaks Sect also following behind.

After all, although he was not familiar with many Immortal Sects, he did know about the three Sects that had arrived this time; he had already come across Thousand Caves Door and the Dharma Apex Sect, and as for the Divine Occurrence Sect…

The Clearfall Sect, which was always at odds with the Hundred Peaks Sect and was not one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, and the Divine Occurrence Sect, being one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, always seemed to be at loggerheads with the Hundred Peaks Sect.

He did not know why the Divine Occurrence Sect was at odds with the Hundred Peaks Sect, but anyway, the historical memory was that the two Sects did not get along.
