My Master Knows It All

1217: 304_5 1217: 304_5 “Not at all,” Cao Zhen gently shook his head, emphasizing, “It’s sixteen Melody Pagodas, among which the Chatting Divine Thought has been used by someone already.”

“Sixteen pagodas!”

“That is to say, you alone obtained half of the pagodas!”

Array Sound was completely shocked, and he also looked back at Huan Ying beside him, who lowered her head in embarrassment.

He was responsible for leading the disciples of the Five Sounds Sect into the ruins to search for Melody Pagodas, but in the end, they only found eight Melody Pagodas.

Consequently, they only acquired half of what Cao Zhen did.

Their Five Sounds Sect had almost mobilized the strength of the entire sect to enter the ruins this time!

Yet, Cao Zhen alone, with just a few others, managed to obtain sixteen pagodas.

This was the first time Cao Zhen learned that there were a total of thirty-two pagodas in the ruins.

It was truly remarkable that they were able to acquire half of them with so many people entering the ruins.

However, upon reflection, it seemed normal.

Those pagodas also accounted for contributions from Master Qu Wu, the Zhui Hun Demon, the Bloodbath Demon, and others.

These were four experts at the limit of the Golden Core Stage, and many top experts close to the Golden Core Stage limit were not even included.

With thirty-two Melody Pagodas, holding half of them, he ought to have a good discussion with the people from the Five Sounds Sect.

After his surprise, Array Sound looked at Cao Zhen and said in a low voice, “Dao Companion Cao, not to say anything out of place, but you should also know that the emergence of these ruins is an opportunity given by the Heavenly Dao to our Five Sounds Sect.

These Melody Pagodas are very important to our Five Sounds Sect.

Therefore, I hope to exchange other resources to acquire these Melody Pagodas, along with the Divine Weapons and divine thoughts within them from Dao Companion Cao.

Of course, we will not let you suffer a loss; we will definitely offer you a satisfying price.”

He straightforwardly declared their intention since everyone knew how important these Melody Pagodas were to the Five Sounds Sect, which they preferred being upfront about rather than hiding.

Cao Zhen nodded slightly, “I also intend to be generous.

However, as you know, I did not obtain these pagodas alone; Bi Yue also contributed, so ultimately, I have to share the proceeds with her.

Hence…

how about we find Bi Yue and discuss together how your Five Sounds Sect could purchase these pagodas?”

He was not aware of the prices of many things in the Eastern Province and naturally wanted to involve Bi Yue to help oversee the transaction.

Besides, obtaining so many pagodas, Bi Yue indeed also exerted great effort; selling the pagodas now, he naturally needed to involve her to let her know how much they were sold for.

This was understood as the Sect Hierarch of the Five Sounds Sect promptly looked back at Miao Yin saying, “Quickly go invite Immortal Bi Yue.”

Miao Yin swiftly left and soon returned with Bi Yue.

Having contemplated the value of these treasures, the Sect Hierarch of the Five Sounds Sect said to the two of them, “Both of you have sixteen Melody Pagodas, the treasures within them, and with fourteen strands of Divine Thought.

We are willing to offer a price of 10,000 Immortal Stones for each pagoda, each strand of Divine Thought, and each Divine Weapon, amounting to 160,000 Immortal Stones in total.

What do you think about this price?”

Although Cao Zhen and their party were short of two strands of Divine Thought, the Sect Hierarch was still very generous to count it as sixteen strands.

160,000 Immortal Stones seemed a significant amount, but Cao Zhen felt it was far from enough.

After pondering for a moment, he said, “Sect Hierarch, look, I have these sixteen Melody Towers, which appeared because of the ruins; I think it is difficult to quantify these items with money.

Why don’t we directly exchange them with treasures instead?”

“This…

I wonder, Dao Companion Cao, what kind of treasures and resources do you want?”

The Sect Hierarch knew their Five Sounds Sect needed to overcome their Sect Tribulation and obviously needed these Melody Pagodas.

It was clear they would be put in a tough spot.

And they had no choice but to be at their mercy.

When they said it couldn’t be measured with money, it was clear they were going to take advantage of them.

“I need quite a lot of medicinal ingredients,” stated Cao Zhen and then, remembering Bi Yue beside him, he turned back, asking her, “I need medicinal ingredients, what about you?”

He needed medicinal ingredients, but he thought that Bi Yue probably didn’t, considering that she came from a Great Teaching like the Dragon Chant Sect; she likely wouldn’t need resources like medicinal ingredients.

“I’m fine with anything,” said Immortal Bi Yue with an appearance of agreeableness, looking at Cao Zhen and saying, “I’ll follow your lead.”

On the side, the Sect Hierarch of the Five Sounds Sect had a hard time accepting it; was this really the proud Immortal Bi Yue?

Such a prideful Immortal acting like a docile little woman!

He had no choice, as it was now his turn to seek others for their Melody Pagodas.

Even if they combined the pagodas from their own Dao and those newly acquired from others, they still had fewer than the eleven Melody Pagodas that Cao Zhen held.

Hearing Cao Zhen wanted medicinal ingredients, he could only ask, “May I know, Dao Companion Cao, which medicinal ingredients do you need?”

Once Cao Zhen got the confirmed response from Immortal Bi Yue, he looked back at the Sect Hierarch of the Five Sounds Sect and smiled, “Sect Hierarch, your Five Sounds Sect must have a Hidden Treasure House, right?

The medicinal ingredients I need might be numerous.

I’m not sure exactly which you have, so how about this — why don’t we just open up your treasure house, and I take a look to pick and choose?”
