My Master Knows It All

112: Chapter 102 I Really Didn’t PUA Him_1 112: Chapter 102 I Really Didn’t PUA Him_1 Knowing that Yi Sheng was born into a family of merchants, and that her family is even the wealthiest in Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s Immortal Tidings City, the sudden burst of business acumen was startling to say the least!

Yi Sheng had been speaking for quite a while before she paused briefly, her eyes filled with a desire for knowledge as she looked at Cao Zhen and said, “Master, this is all I can think of for now.

Do you have anything to add?”

Cao Zhen patted Yi Sheng on the shoulder and encouraged her, “Not bad.

However, you’re still missing some details.

Go ahead and get started, and later your master will bless you with a 996 fortune; that should suffice.”

With his own disciple’s business mind developed to such an extent, what else could he do?

Naturally, he became a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving the work to his disciple.

And just like that, the capitalist was his own disciple!

He himself certainly wasn’t one!

Thinking this, Cao Zhen suddenly felt much better.

If anyone were to accuse him of being so greedy that he’d lost all shame, he could calmly say, “I have no interest in money.”

“Yes, Disciple will go at once,” Yi Sheng said without delay, turning around and walking away.

The conversation with Yi Sheng had sidetracked Cao Zhen, but he suddenly remembered someone.

Looking at Ling Xi, who was completely confused, he said, “Seeing you like this, I bet you haven’t taught that Qi fellow the talisman making technique yet.

Come on, let’s put this free labor to work.”

Qi Degang had been feeling extremely frustrated lately.

He was, after all, an officer of the “Heaven’s Decree Team”!

And now…just because he had stood up for his junior once, he had fallen to the point of making talismans for free, and for Four Treasures Peak no less, the very last in the rankings!

Suddenly, a series of footsteps approached.

He turned his head to look and, recognizing the person, immediately turned his head away.

Cao Zhen!

The person he hated the most, loathed the most, and least wanted to see right now was Cao Zhen!

If it hadn’t been for this shameless scoundrel’s scam, how would he have ended up in such a sorry state?

Scam!

In this period of time, he had finally understood the meaning of the word.

He had never seen such a shameless Peak Master!

Cao Zhen glanced at the empty desk in front of Qi Degang, and with the air of a wealthy landlord, he pointed and said, “You have been here so long and haven’t produced a single talisman?

Our Four Treasures Peak doesn’t feed the idle.”

People like Qi deserved to know what a 996 schedule was like.

No!

He should be given an even tougher 007 fortune.

Qi Degang’s face turned as black as a pot in an instant.

What do you mean ‘people like Qi’?

Don’t I have a name?

And not feeding the idle?

In your service, I haven’t even had a meal, so what exactly have you provided?

If you’re so capable, let me go!

Cao Zhen then looked at his senior disciple and said, “Ling Xi, teach him how to make the Gathering Spirit Talisman.

Let him start making talismans.”

Teach him talisman making?

Qi Degang almost burst out laughing.

The lowly Four Treasures Peak, ranked one hundred, teaching an officer of the “Heaven’s Decree Team” how to make talismans was just laughable.

With a reluctant face, Ling Xi walked over to Qi Degang and said stiffly, “I’ll teach you talisman making, consider yourself lucky…” Although she did not want to teach Four Treasures Peak’s talisman making technique to others, she had to obey her master’s command, so naturally, her attitude wasn’t the best.

The sneer on Qi Degang’s face was plain to see.

What superior talisman making technique could Four Treasures Peak possibly have?

And this expression, did they really think he was eager to learn their techniques?

Such a young girl teaching him, but…

this talisman making technique seems a bit different?

In the Hundred Peaks Sect, there are one hundred peaks, and although not every peak has its own unique talisman making technique, the methods are indeed numerous.

Still, even though the techniques vary, many have similarities, yet the talisman making technique Ling Xi was describing was quite special.

In a short time, Ling Xi had finished explaining the method to make the Gathering Spirit Talisman.

Immediately after, Cao Zhen spoke up, “Alright, now that you know how to make talismans, get to work.

Listen, ‘Mr.

Qi’, don’t even think about making mistakes on purpose or failing in talisman making.”

As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on Qi Degang’s hands.

“Now let me show you what the blessing of a capitalist is.

Forget about rest, being idle or even thinking about it.

Start making talismans for me immediately!”

Qi Degang’s eyebrows slanted downwards in anger as he retorted, “Who do you think I, Qi Degang, am!

And let me tell you, my name is Qi Degang, not ‘surname Qi’!”

With that, he picked up various materials as if venting his frustration and began making talismans straight away.

Although he had just learned this talisman-making technique, he clearly had prior experience with talisman-making, and furthermore, his cultivation base was higher.

His speed in making talismans was so much faster compared to Huo Shuzhou’s.

In no time, a Gathering Spirit Talisman was finished.

The moment the talisman was completed, streams of spiritual energy in the air swiftly converged towards the Spirit Talisman, much like rivulets coming together.

“A level ten Gathering Spirit Talisman?” Qi Degang looked at the Gathering Spirit Talisman before him, sensing the spiritual energy gathering around it.

He stared at his hands with his mouth agape.

Was this really a Gathering Spirit Talisman he had made?

He had indeed learned talisman-making before and knew how to make Gathering Spirit Talismans, but his success rate wasn’t very high.

Even with the most basic Gathering Spirit Talisman, generally only two out of five attempts were successful, after all, talisman-making wasn’t his main focus.

But this time, he succeeded in one go, and it was a level ten talisman at that!

In the past, the highest level talisman he had managed to create was only level six.

He had just learned this talisman-making technique, and now he had made a level ten talisman?

This…

It couldn’t be just luck, right?

Qi Degang picked up the talisman-making materials again and started to make another one.

He wanted to see if producing a level ten talisman this time was a fluke or something else.

Cao Zhen nodded in satisfaction and praised, “Look at that, look at that, now this is an exemplary employee.

He was resisting just now, but now he’s making talismans proactively without needing any prompting from us.”

Shortly after, the second Gathering Spirit Talisman was completed.

“Level ten, another level ten Gathering Spirit Talisman!” Qi Degang felt as if he had been struck by the power of Thunder Law, his whole body numb.

He had succeeded in making talismans twice in a row, and both were level ten.

This meant everything wasn’t down to luck; rather, the Talisman Making Technique of Four Treasures Peak was astonishing!

How could the humble Four Treasures Peak possess such an incredible talisman-making technique?

As far as he knew, the ancestors of Four Treasures Peak weren’t wealthy, so they shouldn’t have been able to leave behind any exquisite talisman-making techniques.

So did Cao Zhen come across some stroke of fortune, discovering such a set of techniques from somewhere?

And then, there were only a few people at Four Treasures Peak.

Even if they devoted themselves to talisman-making, they couldn’t produce many.

Besides, with his disciples’ abilities, they couldn’t make level ten talismans, so they found an opportunity to get him to make talismans for free?

They sure had a cunning plan, but wouldn’t this mean that I am the one who benefits?

The fools of Four Treasures Peak had handed over this technique to him so easily.

They might believe they had gotten the better end of the deal, but in reality, it was he who had profited.

Once I’m able to leave, can’t I just make talismans myself?

Although they are the lowest level Gathering Spirit Talismans, such a high success rate would still be an excellent business for making money.

The more Qi Degang thought about it, the happier he became, his mouth involuntarily curling into a smile.

Looking at the talisman-making materials before him, he felt not the slightest bit of aversion.

It’s just talisman-making, right?

I’m practicing with Four Treasures Peak’s materials.

When I start making and selling talismans myself, my technique will be even better, and I’ll earn even more.

Wait a minute!

If Four Treasures Peak can teach this talisman-making technique, they must have stronger ones!

I can’t leave!

Even if I have to die, I will die at Four Treasures Peak!

I want to learn their even more powerful talisman-making techniques!

I never would have thought, never would have thought!

I, Qi Degang, believed that there wasn’t much hope left in my life.

Yet, the talisman-making techniques here are so strong!

Perhaps through the Symbol of the Six Arts of Immortal Cultivation, I can break through my cultivation base once more!

I’m not leaving!

I will work hard at making talismans, showing everyone at Four Treasures Peak my worth!

Making them keep me here forever!

Cao Zhen was completely unaware of Qi Degang’s thoughts.

If he had known, he would have said to everyone at the first opportunity, “I swear, I did not PUA him!”
