My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1655: Chapter 377_2

After all, not long ago, Cao Zhen had just led his disciples to the headquarters of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association in Wansheng City and cleaned it out completely.

Cao Zhen glanced around at the crowd, and the people seemed the same as when he was here last time; they should all be the high-ranking members of the Dragon Chant Sect. He didn’t hesitate and directly said, “I came this time to exchange some resources with you. You should know that I got quite a lot of resources from the Rare Treasures Commerce Association.”

“Sect Leader Cao, what you got wasn’t just some resources,” Immortal Shuanghua, who had helped at the Hundred Peaks Sect with the Heavenly Tribulation and was somewhat familiar with Cao Zhen, laughed upon hearing this. “That was the Rare Treasures Commerce Association’s treasure vault being swept clean; honestly, we at Dragon Chant Sect are very envious.

It’s just that we don’t have the capability. If we did, we would have wanted to loot the Rare Treasures Commerce Association a long time ago.”

Beside him, a burly man immediately shouted, “Sect Leader Cao, this time you’ve done a great deed that makes people’s hearts satisfied. I heard that after you looted the headquarters of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association, people realized that during this special period, the Rare Treasures Commerce Association is far less formidable than expected, leading to quite a few Rare Treasures Pavilions getting attacked too.

They deserve it; they’ve made a lot of money from each Great Teaching in the Eastern Province, with prices growing increasingly outrageous.”

“Ahem…” Cao Zhen quickly coughed twice and emphasized, “The reason we attacked the Rare Treasures Commerce Association was not to rob them of their resources, but primarily because they have been targeting our Pinbao Business Association; they started first, so I went to find them at the Rare Treasures Commerce Association.

We are all associations, properly doing business, attacking and competing against each other commercially is one thing, but they had no regard for honor, so they can’t blame me for taking action, right?”

Although everyone knew he was indeed there to loot the Rare Treasures Commerce Association, after all, he is now the Sect Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect, someone seen as a sect leader by others.

He must be slightly mindful of his reputation, isn’t it?

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed; Cao Zhen’s words, not even a child would believe them.

Immortal Shuanghua again asked, “Sect Leader Cao, you mentioned those treasures, are you thinking of selling them to us?”

“I’m thinking of giving them to you, but not selling, rather exchanging for other resources.” Cao Zhen pondered for a moment and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I need some Immortal Herbs, including Seventh Grade Immortal Grass, Hundred Leaf Snake Flower Mulberry, Seventh Grade Immortal Grass, Tangxin Hollow Bamboo, and Sixth Grade…”

Cao Zhen directly listed the various medicinal herbs he needed, and immediately, everyone furrowed their brows tightly, the smiles on their faces disappearing.

The Sect Hierarch of Dragon Chant Sect lightly shook his head and said, “Sect Leader Cao, the Immortal Herbs you’re asking for are at minimum Sixth Grade Immortal Herbs, and most are Seventh Grade Immortal Herbs. Ordinary people won’t offer Seventh Grade Immortal Herbs for sale, and our Dragon Chant Sect is no exception.

No matter how many resources you offer, I can hardly exchange them with you directly.”

“Oh?” On hearing the Sect Hierarch’s words, Cao Zhen felt pleased, thinking that the Sect Hierarch hinted that Dragon Chant Sect had these Immortal Herbs?

He wasn’t afraid of Dragon Chant Sect asking too much; he feared they couldn’t gather enough Immortal Herbs.

“Sect Hierarch, don’t rush to refuse, after all, you haven’t seen what I’m offering in exchange, right? Now the question is whether your Dragon Chant Sect has these Immortal Herbs?”

“Our Dragon Chant Sect…” The Sect Hierarch was about to speak, but a thought sprang up inside him, and he said quietly, “The herbs of our Dragon Chant Sect are all in the treasure vault. Whether we have these resources precisely, we need to check carefully.

How about this, Sect Leader Cao, you stay here and sip tea for now. Moreover, you and Bi Yue have not met for a while, so you can catch up first, while we check whether we have the herbs.”

Saying this, the Sect Hierarch turned and headed outside.

Behind him, numerous high-level members of the Dragon Chant Sect followed suit.

Bi Yue watched everyone’s actions, her brows furrowing slightly, yet followed along too. Finding Immortal Herbs shouldn’t require so many people.

Moreover, their Dragon Chant Sect has elders specifically responsible for recording treasures in the vault, whether these herbs exist, the elders would certainly know.

Clearly, the Sect Hierarch was not going to check herbs but wanted to negotiate on how to deal with Cao Zhen, or perhaps discuss how to take advantage of him.

The Sect Hierarch turned back to see Immortal Bi Yue closely following and sighed inwardly, quickly saying, “Bi Yue, we’re going to check the herbs, you don’t need to follow. It’s a good chance for you two to catch up.”

Hearing this, everyone around chimed in persuadingly.

“Yes, Bi Yue, you two haven’t met for some time, have you?”

“Sister Bi Yue, within the two Great Teachings, meeting times between you and Sect Leader Cao are already short; thankfully, we’re all leaving, giving you room without disturbance.”

“Sister, we’re leaving, leaving Sect Leader Cao here alone wouldn’t be proper hospitality, right?”

Under normal circumstances, indeed Immortal Bi Yue isn’t part of the Dragon Chant Sect’s high-ranking members; she wouldn’t have the qualification to follow on such matters.

The problem is, Bi Yue’s status is too special; frankly speaking, whenever this peculiar period fully passes, within Dragon Chant Sect, she would be nothing.

But once all experts awaken, even in high-level meetings, if Bi Yue wants to attend, no one would stop her.
