My Master Knows It All

453: Chapter 173: Dragging a Grand Preceptor to Work as a Laborer_1 453: Chapter 173: Dragging a Grand Preceptor to Work as a Laborer_1 Cao Zhen discovered that compared to the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty was noticeably more desolate.

At least, since arriving in the Great Jin Dynasty, the frequency of cities seen after every interval of the Grand Preceptor’s flight was significantly slower than when in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

After entering the Great Jin Dynasty, the Grand Preceptor did not stop but continued flying, and in the blink of an eye, he brought Cao Zhen to the front of a mountain gate belonging to an Immortal Sect.

Full of curiosity, Cao Zhen looked at the mountain gate in front of him and asked, “Grand Preceptor, which Immortal Sect of the Great Jin Dynasty is this?

Is it really alright to ask them for materials like this?”

“What’s not alright about this?” The Grand Preceptor said as he strode towards the gate.

At the gate, several disciples responsible for guarding it saw the visitors and their expressions suddenly changed drastically.

“It’s him!”

“The State Preceptor of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, why have they come again.”

“Quick, go and report!”

“Hurry, ring the warning bell!”

In front of the gate, there were originally more than a dozen disciples, but after clearly seeing who was coming, they all ran inside the mountain gate as if they were mice scurrying away from a cat; this was not quite what Cao Zhen had expected.

He turned his head in astonishment to the Grand Preceptor and asked, “Grand Preceptor, it seems that you’re not very welcome here?”

The Grand Preceptor laughed and said, “Every time I come here, I plunder them once.

It would be strange if they welcomed me.”

“Plunder?” Cao Zhen was completely stunned, “So, Grand Preceptor, you’re here to plunder them as well?

Did you not say…”

“What did I say?

I said that the territorial expansion of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty is its own affair, and I would not participate in the wars between it and other dynasties.

The condition is that cultivators of other dynasties do not get involved either.

This time I have come here without troubling the mortals of the Great Jin Dynasty but have instead gone directly to their cultivators.

Is there a problem with that?

Also, I have said that as long as the cultivators of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty are obedient, I will not trouble them directly.

But are these people from the Great Jin Dynasty?

Is there a problem with that?”

At a loss for words, Cao Zhen could only give a thumbs up and say, “No problem.”

He truly learned something new.

With a cold sneer, the Grand Preceptor said, “It’s just as well, the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty is about to go to war with the Great Jin Dynasty, and my visit this time is also a warning to the people of the Great Jin Dynasty not to break the rules and get involved in the war between dynasties.”

As the Grand Preceptor spoke, he had already stepped into the Immortal Sect.

Cao Zhen followed the Grand Preceptor into the Immortal Sect.

Suddenly, a series of bell tones echoed, reaching his ears.

In the sky above, cultivators took flight, each swiftly heading towards him and the Grand Preceptor.

Each of these people exuded an incredibly surging aura, clearly indicating they were all beings above the Earth Immortal Realm.

But even though they were flying towards the Grand Preceptor, they did not dare to come close to him.

At a distance of more than a mile away from the Grand Preceptor, they each stopped in their tracks, looking at him with caution and said from afar, “Grand Preceptor of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, you’ve come to our Golden Swan Sect again, do you think we have no one capable of standing up to you?”

“Indeed, I am bullying your Golden Swan Sect because you have no one capable,” the Grand Preceptor replied without bothering to look the other way directly, showing clear impatience: “Enough talk, I need some materials, millennia-old Heaven Bitter Beans, Cloud Mountain Crystal…”

Cao Zhen listened as the Grand Preceptor reeled off a list of materials, each name sounding more worrisome.

At first, the Grand Preceptor mentioned the materials Cao Zhen needed, but as he continued, many of the materials listed were ones Cao Zhen had never mentioned before.

“Grand Preceptor Zhang, don’t go too far!” The leading person on the other side expressed a look of furious anger.

Grand Preceptor Zhang?

Cao Zhen glanced sideways at the Grand Preceptor beside him; back in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, everyone referred to the Grand Preceptor simply by his title, and this was the first time Cao Zhen realized the Grand Preceptor’s surname was Zhang.

“So what if I’m going too far?” A chilling light faintly flickered in the Grand Preceptor’s eyes.

“You…” The person on the other side seemed to want to say something menacing, but was at a loss for how to say it without losing face or provoking the Grand Preceptor’s anger, and after only uttering the word “you,” fell silent.

Suddenly, from a distance, an old voice came through.

“Grand Preceptor Zhang, we can give you the materials you want.

But you should know that we do this for the friendship between the cultivators of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty, not out of fear of you.”

Cao Zhen looked towards the direction from which the voice came, but could not see anyone; clearly, it was a Supreme Elder or a Grand Elder, someone like a Sect Leader of the opposing side speaking up.

Moreover, given that the other party didn’t dare to show themselves and only dared to speak, it was very likely because their cultivation base was so high, they were nearly in a state of deep slumber, and so they didn’t dare to show themselves carelessly.

Following the statement, the other side quickly began to prepare all kinds of materials, and in less than the time it takes an incense to burn, they flew towards him with a Qiankun Bag.

The Grand Preceptor didn’t wait for them to speak and reached out into the void.

Despite no giant hand appearing in the sky, the Qiankun Bag held by the other side flew out on its own, directly landing in the hand of the Grand Preceptor.

Without a word, the Grand Preceptor turned and walked away.
