My Master Knows It All

”No, I can’t just ask about the price directly. Even if the Wanxiao Sect truly has the information, obtaining such information would require a price that I might not be able to afford.

What if I can’t pay the price? Unless...”

Cao Zhen felt a stirring in his heart and opened China Cloud to check his Array Level and Refining Level. He had been setting up formations continuously, first for the Great Formation of the Hundred Peaks Sect, and then assisting the Eastern Wilderness Sect with their formation, thus his Array Level had significantly improved.

”Well, my Array Level is indeed closer.”

Cao Zhen immediately invested the extra cultivation experience of his disciples into upgrading his Array Level.

”Array Level breakthrough, a random user has been assigned, please specify the designated user.”

”I appoint the interim sect hierarch of the Wanxiao Sect in the Eastern Province.”

He had never appointed in this way before and wasn’t sure if this method would succeed.

Soon, the voice of China Cloud came: ”Wanxiao Sect, interim sect hierarch in the Eastern Province, Demonic Lord Qing Shi designation successful.”

”Demonic Lord?”

Surprise immediately flickered across Cao Zhen’s face.

Not everyone could be called a Demonic Lord; for instance, Star Lord Hao Yue carried the ”Lord” title in his name because he was a True Immortal in his previous life.

Only those of the True Immortal Realm could be called Lords, like Star Lords, Immortal Lords, Demon Lords, etc.

But now, no one from the Immortality Regainment Realm has awakened, so how could there be someone from the True Immortal Realm?

Then there’s only one possibility; the other party is a reincarnated Great Ability!

But the Eastern Province cannot have reincarnated Great Abilities. If she could be the interim sect hierarch of the Wanxiao Sect in the Eastern Province, she must be from the Eastern Province, so what’s going on?

Cao Zhen felt puzzled and confused.

Soon, the voice of China Cloud echoed in his mind once more.

”Random user, Lu Yu designation completed.”

”Lu Yu?” Cao Zhen shook his head filled with regret. Lu Yu, the Tea Saint, and what use is there in connecting with Lu Yu? Previously, he connected with the Wine Saint Du Kang, and now the Tea Saint.

The problem is, connecting with them is truly of no use.

But the Demonic Lord Qing Shi...

He opened the file of Demonic Lord Qing Shi full of curiosity.

User: Demonic Lord Qing Shi.

Gender: Female

Cultivation: Earth Immortal Realm, Peak of the Immortal Path Domain.

Identity: Wanxiao Sect, interim sect hierarch of the Eastern Province branch, reincarnated Great Ability.

Cao Zhen’s eyes immediately focused; indeed, this woman is a reincarnated Great Ability, but it’s unclear why she can appear in the Eastern Province.

He continued to look down.

Cultivation Talent: Sky Seducing Body.

Alchemy Level: Level 51.

Talisman Level: Level 62.

Array Level: Level 66...

Expertise in Spells: Chaos Sound, Soft Charm...

”Chaos Sound?”

Cao Zhen looked further down, his eyes widened; this woman also possesses Chaos Qi.

It took him quite some time to come back to his senses.

”This woman, I wonder if the Wanxiao Sect knows she’s a reincarnated Great Ability. More importantly, she also possesses Chaos Qi.

If she is now the interim sect hierarch of the Wanxiao Sect, if she knows where Chaos Qi is, why doesn’t she go search for it?

Could it be that the Wanxiao Sect doesn’t know where Chaos Qi is, or even if she knows something about it, her special status prevents her from looking for it?”

Cao Zhen gently shook his head.

”Forget it; since I’ve connected with her already, I might as well take a look.”

Just like the Killing Society and Rare Treasures Commerce Association, the Wanxiao Sect sets up various branches outside that are not actual branches but more like shops dedicated to selling information. Although they can’t cover every city in the Eastern Province like the Rare Treasures Commerce Association, there are Wanxiao Sect shops in most of the province.

He wanted to inquire about Chaos Qi. Considering how precious and rare Chaos Qi is, if anyone in the Eastern Wasteland asks about it, the first reaction of the Wanxiao Sect people would be to suspect it might be Cao Zhen gathering information.

To prevent others from guessing that he possesses Chaos Qi, the best way is to go to the Eastern Wasteland, a bit further away, to gather information.

”Lion Tiger City, this should belong to the Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts. Coming here to gather information, no one would ever think it’s me.”

Cao Zhen glanced at the city wall in front of him; unlike many places with towering walls, the city wall here seemed merely decorative, barely over ten feet tall, even with some gaps. The city gate was weathered and mottled.

Just by looking at the city walls and gate, one couldn’t tell this was a populous city, but in such a city, the Wanxiao Sect surely would have a branch.

Cao Zhen stepped into the city and headed straight for the Immortal Market.

In most cities of the Eastern Province, there would be an Immortal Market, specifically for doing business with cultivators, even in territories controlled by Demonic Cultivators.

After all, Demonic Cultivators also need to live; the more prosperous the city, the more people it can host, allowing them to collect more wealth and recruit more disciples.

Upon entering the Immortal Market Street, the most prominent sign that catches the eye is the Rare Treasures Pavilion.

This Rare Treasures Pavilion is the largest shop in the Immortal Market, but from the outside, it seems long abandoned, with doors covered in dust.

At this moment, a group of people stood gazing at the Rare Treasures Pavilion, discussing something continuously.

”This Rare Treasures Pavilion is indeed large and the most conspicuous and best-located shop on this street. But the problem is, this is the Rare Treasures Pavilion, and I’m really afraid to take it over.”
