My Master Knows It All

1339: Chapter 324_4 1339: Chapter 324_4 “If you tell the Heaven Prayers Sect all of this, won’t they spend a fortune to buy your Square Cauldrons from you?

Let me tell you…”

Cao Zhen fully utilized his bluffing skills, bewitching and deceiving left and right.

As he spoke, even he felt that not buying these four Square Cauldrons immediately would be criminal.

Zhao Xingyu somehow signed the agreement in a daze.

After securing the agreement, Cao Zhen generously handed over the Square Cauldrons to Zhao Xingyu, then he said, “Alright, you still need to search for Strange Beasts and gather essence blood, we won’t disturb you any longer, we’ll be taking our leave.”

With that, he turned around, called out to Xiang Ziyu and the others, and they took to the sky, heading into the distance.

They had a total of eight Square Cauldrons, and there were still four more to sell!

It wasn’t until Cao Zhen and his group had vanished that Zhao Xingyu hurried to inspect the Square Cauldrons sold to him, and upon doing so, he was completely stunned.

The Square Cauldrons were utterly empty, not even a drop of essence blood inside.

Zhao Xingyu’s view of Cao Zhen changed in an instant.

You are all at the Golden Core Period Limit, how hard could it be for you to kill a Strange Beast?

No, moreover, is there anyone who could kill a Strange Beast more easily than you?

Is there any Strange Beast here that could pose a threat to you?

If it were anyone else, even sometimes when they encountered groups of powerful Strange Beasts, they would have to avoid them, but what about Cao Zhen and his group of four?

Avoid?

They would just bulldoze their way through.

And yet their combination had not a single drop of essence blood in the four Square Cauldrons!

They simply never intended to fill the Square Cauldrons; they were just planning to sell them!

However, it didn’t matter anymore, he and his companions just had to put in more effort to fill these Square Cauldrons and then sell them to the people of the Heaven Prayers Sect.

Besides, even if they themselves didn’t fill the Square Cauldrons, did that mean the Heaven Prayers Sect would not want them?

Strange Beasts aren’t only found within these ruins.

In the deep mountains and forests outside, there are also Strange Beasts, and killing a Golden Core Period Strange Beast would naturally yield essence blood.

After flying dozens of miles away, Cao Zhen finally stopped, and Immortal Bi Yue and the other two hurriedly gathered around.

Jiu Yin frowned and said, “Sect Leader Cao, why do I feel like we sold them short?”

“Sold them short?” Cao Zhen looked up at Jiu Yin, full of surprise.

Jiu Yin nodded and said, “Yes, we sold short.

Hearing what you said just now, I feel that those four Square Cauldrons should have been worth more.

Even if we couldn’t sell to the Heaven Prayers Sect, we could have found others to sell to them.

For example, we from the Yin Yang Sect have other disciples in these ruins, I could have had other disciples trade with the Heaven Prayers Sect.

We…”

As she spoke, she suddenly realized and exclaimed in shock, “No, we were supposed to get them to fill the Square Cauldrons with essence blood for us…”

“You’ve finally come to your senses.” Cao Zhen felt a profound sense of relief in his heart.

That’s why Old Ma’s deceitfulness is so formidable, even Jiu Yin, one of our own, was led astray, believing that we had made a loss.

How could Zhao Xingyu not fall for it!

Beside him, Immortal Bi Yue looked at Cao Zhen with increasing admiration, saying, “We were about to discard these Square Cauldrons, but you exchanged them for a hundred second-grade Immortal Herbs.

Even if we value one second-grade Immortal Herb at a hundred Immortal Stones, that’s ten thousand Immortal Stones.

These ten thousand Immortal Stones were practically picked up for free.”

Jiu Yin also nodded repeatedly.

She was the one who initially suggested discarding the Square Cauldrons, and she thought she was very clever at that moment.

Now when compared with Cao Zhen, she felt utterly foolish.

Xiang Ziyu watched the admiring looks from the two women and shook his head slightly, saying, “What is so great about this?

You haven’t seen how master sold Divine Weapons in the past.”

“Sold Divine Weapons?

Is there a story there?” Immortal Bi Yue suddenly became interested.

“There are plenty of stories.

Let me tell you…” Xiang Ziyu briefly narrated how Cao Zhen managed to sell Divine Weapons within the Hundred Peaks Sect in the past.

Instantly, the way Jiu Yin and Immortal Bi Yue looked at Cao Zhen changed, with Jiu Yin’s gaze now filled with caution.

She couldn’t comprehend how such maneuvers were possible.

To obtain a Divine Weapon, one had to fulfill someone else’s final wish, yet Cao Zhen managed to make a fortune merely by fulfilling these wishes, before selling the Divine Weapon to others.

If she were that disciple from the Zen Meditation Peak, she would definitely have fought Cao Zhen to the death!

Thinking back to how Cao Zhen had bluffed Zhao Xingyu, she suddenly remembered what her master said before falling asleep.

He warned that there are many people in this world with countless tricks up their sleeves, and each inch of their skin harbors guile.

He advised her to be careful when encountering such people; otherwise, she might end up counting money for someone who sold her out.

Cao Zhen, most likely, is the kind of person her master spoke of, one with a trick for every inch of their skin.

Meanwhile, Immortal Bi Yue’s gaze towards Cao Zhen was filled with increasing veneration.

She sighed and said, “It’s really not easy for you.

As a reincarnated being with Great Ability, even though you’re in the Eastern Wasteland and can’t access your past life’s resources, just by yourself, the resources you possess for your Cultivation would be more than enough; there’s no need for you to go through all this.

I understand that you’re surely doing this for your disciples.

To have someone of your caliber — reincarnated with Great Ability — I’m afraid there is no second one like you in the whole world.”

Jiu Yin looked at the love and admiration in Immortal Bi Yue’s eyes as she gazed at Cao Zhen and sighed inwardly.

Clearly, Immortal Bi Yue belonged to those who had already been deceived.

She feared that if Cao Zhen decided to ‘sell’ Immortal Bi Yue, not only would she happily count the money for him, but after finishing, she’d probably offer Cao Zhen her own money, and then bind herself up, too.
