My Master Knows It All

1338: Chapter 324_3 1338: Chapter 324_3 “Oh, how about we change that, then?”

Xiang Ziyu was pondering what to gamble with the other party when Zhao Xingyu already spoke up, “No need to change that, I believe you, let’s discuss these four Square Cauldrons first.

Sect Leader Cao, what would you like?”

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and quickly added, “Don’t even mention Immortal Fields, I really don’t have any!”

Cao Zhen pondered for a brief moment before saying, “How about this, one Square Cauldron for one hundred Second Grade Immortal Herbs?

Four Square Cauldrons for four hundred Second Grade Immortal Herbs?”

His Immortal Fields were indeed First Grade, that was true, but the problem was, he was confident in upgrading First Grade Immortal Fields to Second Grade.

By then, if he had the Immortal Fields but no corresponding Immortal Herbs, wouldn’t that be a waste?

So, it would be good to get some Second Grade Immortal Herbs first.

“One hundred Second Grade Immortal Herbs?

Impossible!” Zhao Xingyu almost roared, not to mention one hundred Second Grade Immortal Herbs, even one hundred First Grade Immortal Herbs were out of the question!

He even suspected that Cao Zhen was just toying with him!

Indeed, many people ask for the moon in trades, and then wait for the other party to counter offer.

But asking for the moon doesn’t go to this extent.

Cao Zhen wasn’t just asking for the moon, he was literally trying to swallow an elephant!

Suppressing the fury in his heart, he tried to speak in as calm a voice as possible, “Sect Leader Cao, if you really intend to trade with us, then how about we discuss a price that both sides can accept?

Your Disciple just mentioned that there should be one hundred and eight Square Cauldrons in this ruin, while the Five Sounds Sect’s Musical Rhythm ruins had only thirty-two Towers of Musical Rhythm, and nearly one Tower of Musical Rhythm was worth four Square Cauldrons.”

“No, that’s not right.” Cao Zhen didn’t let the other finish speaking and shook his head to interrupt, “Four Square Cauldrons, their value is actually equivalent to four Towers of Musical Rhythm.

Don’t rush, listen to my analysis.

The Five Sounds Sect faced a Heavenly Tribulation every ten thousand years, but the Heaven Prayers Sect’s Sect Tribulation comes every four hundred thousand years.

Different Sect Tribulations, different Heavenly Dao rewards after succeeding, this much is clear, right?”

Zhao Xingyu nodded lightly, that was indeed the case.

Cao Zhen continued to analyze, “Now, look at this, ten thousand and four hundred thousand, that’s a difference of four times.

Again, four times.

So, roughly speaking, one Square Cauldron is equivalent to one Tower of Musical Rhythm.”

Zhao Xingyu’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Cao Zhen.

Could analysis even work like this?

He always felt something was off with Cao Zhen’s words, but when pressed to point it out, he couldn’t.

Before Zhao Xingyu could react, Cao Zhen continued, “Thus, these four Square Cauldrons in exchange for resources worth four Towers of Musical Rhythm is no issue, four Towers of Musical Rhythm…”

Zhao Xingyu loudly protested, “Those four Towers of Musical Rhythm can’t exchange for that many resources either.

Sect Leader Cao, you managed to trade sixteen Towers of Musical Rhythm for two mu of First Grade Immortal Fields because you had many Towers of Musical Rhythm…”

Unaware, Zhao Xingyu was following Cao Zhen’s lead, beginning to discuss how many Immortal Herbs these four Square Cauldrons should really exchange for.

“What if I give you a 20% discount?

What, you don’t know what a 20% discount is?

A discount means…

forget it, for four Square Cauldrons, in total, how about three hundred and twenty Second Grade Immortal Herbs?”

“What?

A total of eighty herbs?

No way, eighty is too few, you’re slashing the price too harshly.

It’s one Square Cauldron for eighty Second Grade Immortal Herbs, not four Square Cauldrons for a total of eighty Second Grade Immortal Herbs…”

“I’m saying, let’s be sincere…”

“One hundred Second Grade Immortal Herbs, final offer.

Four Square Cauldrons for a total of one hundred Second Grade Immortal Herbs, if you don’t agree, I’m turning around and leaving right now!” Cao Zhen said, while making a gesture as if he was about to turn around and leave.

After all this time, if he couldn’t even get one hundred Second Grade Immortal Herbs, that would be a huge loss.

Any less and he definitely wouldn’t sell!

Having said so much, Cao Zhen now felt that the Square Cauldrons he possessed were extremely, extremely valuable!

“Wait, wait…” Seeing that Cao Zhen seemed to be truly about to leave, Zhao Xingyu hurriedly called to him, “Sect Leader Cao, one hundred Second Grade Immortal Herbs is really too much.

When we go out, it is not possible to carry around such herbs.”

“That’s no issue.” Cao Zhen said with a smile, pulling out a pen and paper from his Qiankun Bag, “Come, come, come, Dao Companion Zhao can sign and pledge, you can owe us first, and later we can go to your Shadow Stream Teachings to collect the Immortal Herbs.

I trust your sect’s reputation.”

“This…” Zhao Xingyu looked at the pen and paper in Cao Zhen’s hand and was momentarily stunned – who still carries around pen and paper?

Noticing Zhao Xingyu’s gaze, Cao Zhen softly explained, “As a calligraphy enthusiast, it’s quite normal for me to carry a pen and paper, right?

Dao Companion Zhao, I have already given you a serious discount.

Think it through well.

The Praying Heaven Sect is about to face their Sect Tribulation; right now, even if they see a slight chance to increase their probability of overcoming the Sect Tribulation, they will desperately vie for it, not to mention these Square Cauldrons.

Just think about it.

When the time comes, you can talk to them about the value of these Square Cauldrons.

And mention the aid of the Towers of Musical Rhythm during the Five Sounds Sect’s Tribulation, use what I’ve said before.

I was present with the Five Sounds Sect during their Tribulation, everything I’ve told you is the most insider information.”
