How can it not be enough?

That’s a hundred thousand spirit stones.

Unless you’re throwing money away, there’s no way you Six from Four Treasures Peak, including you and your newly taken disciple, Yi Sheng, could possibly run short.

You haven’t really squandered it, have you?

You…”

Elder Copper Plate covered his chest with his hand, heartbroken, “You’ve become arrogant just because you won once.

Winning once doesn’t mean you can win a second or a third time.

Tell me, have you been gambling again?

I’m telling you, gambling doesn’t last forever—nine out of ten gambles are losses.

Don’t gamble anymore.

It’s not too late to stop now.

I’m telling you, the first period of entering Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace is when you improve the fastest.

What you need to do now is to immediately go back and cultivate at the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace.”

“No, I really am running short of spirit stones,” Cao Zhen was completely helpless, blaming himself for not having explained clearly to Elder Copper Plate sooner.

Although he didn’t want to show off, there was no helping it now; to put Elder Copper Plate’s mind at ease, he would have to show off just this once.

Elder, the truth is, I’m quite strong now.”

Cao Zhen’s expression became solemn, and the power of his entire body erupted instantly.

In a flash, ten Tao Bases appeared behind him, followed by ten Immortal Bridges, and then a Phenomenon Pill also emerged behind the bridges.

“Core Formation, you…you’ve reached Core Formation!” Elder Copper Plate’s voice was so loud in his surprise that it echoed continuously within the cave.

In his astonished and delighted gaze, a second, a third…

a total of seven Phenomenon Pills appeared behind Cao Zhen.

Ten Perfect Tao Bases, ten Perfect Immortal Bridges, seven inner cores—all with phenomena!

“Seven Elixirs, seven Elixirs—amazing, amazing!” Elder Copper Plate, overwhelmed with joy, cried, “You’ve finally made something of yourself.

Now, even if I die, I can give an account to your master.”

“Uncle-Master, you’re still alive and well, don’t talk about death,” Cao Zhen quickly grabbed Elder Copper Plate, and, to divert his attention, said, “I came to ask for Uncle-Master’s help with something.”

“What?

You need my help?” Elder Copper Plate wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, asking with concern, “What trouble have you encountered?

Just speak.

I’ve been in the sect for so many years; I still have some influence.”

“Uncle-Master, you’re overthinking it, it’s not trouble.

I wanted to ask Uncle-Master to do some business with me.

Uncle-Master, don’t rush to say anything, just take a look at my Talisman Making Technique.”

Cao Zhen quickly showed his Talisman Making Technique.

After Elder Copper Plate also learned it and made two Gathering Spirit Talismans, he explained what he was currently doing and proposed to Elder Copper Plate, “Uncle-Master, haven’t you always been an Elder at the Ministry of Works Immortal Palace?

You must know some seniors who are skilled in Talisman Making.

We could collaborate, and split the spirit stones we earn fifty-fifty.”

Elder Copper Plate had always treated him like his own disciple, so naturally, Cao Zhen wouldn’t think of giving just a mere ten percent to exploit him.

Besides, having been in the Crafts Department for so many years, the people Elder Copper Plate could find were adept at Talisman Making, and their speed was also fast.

Even with a fifty-fifty split, Cao Zhen could still earn quite a bit.

“I’ll support you wholeheartedly in this matter.

I also know a few old fellows.

I think they might be interested,” Elder Copper Plate touched his chin, already thinking about who to invite.

“Uncle-Master, we can take our time finding them, but before that, we have another matter to tend to.

When more people start making Gathering Spirit Talismans, especially when they produce them at a faster rate, the materials for making Gathering Spirit Talismans will become scarce and expensive.

We can take advantage of this opportunity to stock up on the materials needed for the talismans in advance,” Cao Zhen began sharing his plan.

“Buying materials?

Although these are just common materials, according to what you’re saying, we need to stockpile a lot, which will require a significant amount of spirit stones,” Elder Copper Plate hesitated.

Cao Zhen reassured him, “Uncle-Master, rest easy, I have plenty of spirit stones.

However, I’m not clear on where the materials for talisman making are sold in abundance or how to buy and choose them.

How about Uncle-Master helps me, and we purchase the materials for Gathering Spirit Talismans together?

Uncle-Master, rest assured this is definitely a profitable deal.”

Elder Copper Plate was still hesitant, “This…

This kind of deal can offend many people; it’s better we don’t do it.”

“But if it can make money, why shouldn’t we do it?” Cao Zhen said and pointed towards the wall that lacked a Luminous Pearl, “Uncle-Master, can you see, you even sold the Luminous Pearl.

Making money isn’t shameful.”

Elder Copper Plate immediately became anxious, “Sold the Luminous Pearl?

Who said I sold the Luminous Pearl?

Although I lost quite a bit of money, I’m not so poor as to need to sell the Luminous Pearl.”

“Then why is there one less Luminous Pearl?” Cao Zhen shook his head inwardly, seeing that Elder Copper Plate was still being stubborn.

“Why is there one less?

It’s because of you,” Elder Copper Plate scolded.

“Last time you and the people from Starshine Peak had that power show-off, I bet on the opposite side, thinking they would win, but you ended up winning.

Afterwards, many people thought I intentionally set up a trap with you and cheated them.

They not only hated you, they hated me too.

Among them, an old friend of mine lost a lot as well, and the key issue was that it was his wife’s money he had used.

When his wife found out, she reprimanded him harshly.

Fed up with being scolded at home, he came to question me, accusing me of cheating him.”
