My Master Knows It All

Capítulo 1997: Chapter 432_5

She was having a headache when suddenly Cao Zhen’s voice sounded: “Well then, I just need to craft a formation map for Ling Xi, you can watch me craft the formation map from the side.”

Immortal Lord Jue Zhen heard the voice and his eyes widened with disbelief as he looked at Cao Zhen. Did he just agree? Just like that? Without any conditions?

But soon, Cao Zhen’s voice rang out again.

“However…”

Upon hearing the word “however”, the smile on Jue Zhen’s face froze instantly. What she feared the most right now was those two words: “however”.

“I don’t have the materials to craft the Unparalleled Formation Diagram, so…” Cao Zhen looked at Immortal Lord Jue Zhen.

Immortal Lord Jue Zhen understood instantly and replied, “I still have some materials with me. What materials does Sect Leader Cao need?”

After all, it’s just a formation map for Earth Immortal Realm, or at most Immortality Regainment Realm. How much could those materials be worth!

But being able to observe the crafting of the formation map would be a tremendous help for her, without hesitation, she offered to provide the materials.

“I need…” Cao Zhen started naming various materials.

Immortal Lord Jue Zhen initially had a smile on her face, but as she listened, her smile grew more awkward, and eventually, an expression of concern appeared. Was Cao Zhen sure he was crafting a formation map for Immortality Regainment Realm and not True Immortal Realm?

These materials could still have leftovers even when crafting formation maps for True Immortal Realm.

Cao Zhen noticed Immortal Lord Jue Zhen’s troubled expression and realized he had asked for quite an amount of materials, and helplessly said, “There’s no other way. To craft a better formation map, I need this many materials. Immortal Lord Jue Zhen, you don’t have enough materials?”

“I have most of the materials, but some of them I don’t have. I need to find others, maybe swap some materials with brothers or uncles, or borrow some materials, which might take some time,” Jue Zhen said, lightly sighing.

Cao Zhen looked at Jue Zhen’s sighing expression and paused, a bit puzzled, “Is it really troublesome to exchange those materials? Why are you sighing?”

Jue Zhen ranked as the third strongest in Extreme Formation Sect, she should have a high status. Why would she need to exchange materials with others and sigh? Was she being ostracized? Was Extreme Formation Sect not as united as he saw before?

Jue Zhen saw Cao Zhen’s expression and immediately realized what he was thinking, and quickly said, “Sect Leader Cao, you’ve misunderstood. My elders treat me very well. I sighed just because…”

As she spoke, she paused, then said: “Our Extreme Formation Sect primarily focuses on the path of traditional great formations. Like the path I’ve taken—formation maps—are not valued. Even those talented disciples, once they reach a certain cultivation level, their elders will make them stop focusing on formation maps and instead pursue the path of great formations.

Because in our Extreme Formation Sect, nobody has ever been able to reach a particularly high degree by pursuing the path of formation maps.

I rank second in our sect’s history for cultivation base reached through the path of formation maps.

Actually, I’ve never been satisfied with this. I’ve even contemplated leaving Extreme Formation Sect—not as a betrayal, but to find a mountain gate and establish a branch, specifically recruiting disciples focusing on formation maps.

But founding a branch requires a mountain gate and resources. My personal strength is truly limited, where can I find so many resources?

That’s why I was sighing.”

Cao Zhen looked at Immortal Lord Jue Zhen’s helpless expression, and his heart was stirred. This Immortal Lord Jue Zhen wanted to establish a branch, and she was a late True Immortal Realm existence. If she established a branch and remained in the Eastern Wasteland, wouldn’t it mean that his territory would permanently gain more strength, another True Immortal Realm expert? His Prosperous Age Picture Record would also be enhanced, this was a good thing!

“Jue Zhen, it seems you have some misconception about the resources needed to establish a sect or branch.” Cao Zhen said softly, “In our Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, besides our Hundred Peaks Sect, other sects don’t have True Immortal Realm existences. Some sects’ strongest experts even only reach Golden Core Stage.

They can all establish sects; a True Immortal Realm existence like you should certainly be able to establish a sect. With your cultivation base, the resources you can acquire are definitely more than theirs.”

Jue Zhen sighed helplessly, “I know some sects’ experts are not powerful, but we focus on formation maps, and our disciples need more resources in their cultivation.”

“I certainly know that crafting formations requires more resources, and besides, pill crafting also requires more resources. But the thing is, if you truly establish a sect, for those disciples under you with weaker cultivation bases, the resources they need are just a trifle to you.

Then, when their cultivation reaches higher levels, you can have them craft formation maps to sell and exchange for resources. For sects specializing in crafting formations, pills, and refining artifacts, they are generally wealthier than ordinary sects. You don’t need to worry about resources.”

Immortal Lord Jue Zhen still furrowed her brows tightly, saying, “But I don’t understand business at all, and our Extreme Formation Sect already crafts formations for others, although they don’t primarily focus on formation maps, they craft them as well. By that time, if I also sell formation maps, wouldn’t it be competing with them?”
