Common Prosperity!_3 133: Chapter 117 Goal!

Common Prosperity!_3 Yi Sheng felt the unique warmth of the treasure bead in her hand, opened her mouth, but for a moment didn’t know what to say.

This was the Wind Fire Flood Dragon Pearl!

When the Hundred Peaks Sect competed for her as a disciple, the reason the Seven Star Peak, ranked ninety-ninth, was confident she would choose them was because of this Wind Fire Flood Dragon Pearl.

If it hadn’t been for her master, she would probably have chosen to enter the Seven Star Peak as well, and the reason was also only because of the Wind Fire Flood Dragon Pearl.

This was the inner core formed when a Flood Dragon, after nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years, desired to transform into a dragon; its value was simply incalculable.

One could even say it was a treasure that no amount of spirit stones could buy.

And now, her master was actually going to hand this treasure over to her.

This was the treasure of Seven Star Peak.

Why would Seven Star Peak give it to her master?

Before, her master has mentioned making talismans in cooperation with Seven Star Peak; perhaps that was one of the conditions.

Besides that, her master must have promised Seven Star Peak even more conditions; she did not know the extent of the sacrifice he made.

Looking at the state of Four Treasures Peak now, it was bare, not even having a proper meeting hall, looking destitute and unsightly.

Then look at her master, worrying about resources every day, striving to earn money.

Her master could have used this Wind Fire Flood Dragon Pearl to change all that, to exchange it for resources, to renovate Four Treasures Peak, and not have to worry every day about earning more resources.

But her master, preferring to let Four Treasures Peak remain distinctly destitute, disregarding the views of others, would rather toil himself and did not use the Wind Fire Flood Dragon Pearl to exchange for resources, but handed it directly to her.

Tears welled up in Yi Sheng’s eyes.

She wanted to say some words of gratitude, but she didn’t know how to express them.

Her pride had kept her from knowing how to say thanks since she was young.

She also believed that whatever words of gratitude she said could not convey the emotions stirring in her heart at that moment.

Cultivation, only relentless cultivation, making herself stronger, making Four Treasures Peak stronger, making Four Treasures Peak the number one peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect, was the only way to repay her master!

Cao Zhen didn’t stay at Four Treasures Peak for long.

He instructed Yi Sheng and Ling Xi not to worry about other matters, that he would handle everything about Four Treasures Peak and told them to focus on their cultivation.

After that, he left Four Treasures Peak and rode the Immortal Cloud Carriage to find Elder Copper Plate.

Yi Sheng’s plan to purchase so many materials alone was a bit troublesome; it was best to find someone to help him, so he thought of Elder Copper Plate.

Elder Copper Plate had always taken great care of him, even losing quite a lot of spirit stones for him before.

This time, he planned to find Elder Copper Plate and let him earn some spirit stones together with him.

Upon entering the cave mansion of Elder Copper Plate, built along the mountainside, Cao Zhen frowned; the lighting here seemed much dimmer than before.

He looked around and remembered that during his last visit, the walls had been inlaid with two fist-sized East Sea ice clam illuminating beads.

But now, there was only one left on the wall.

Cao Zhen heaved a soft sigh.

It seemed Elder Copper Plate had lost more than he had mentioned, having sold one of the only two beads he had.

Inside the cave, Elder Copper Plate’s countenance soured upon seeing Cao Zhen enter; he stood up from his cross-legged position on the cushion, like a father about to reprimand a child for slacking off on their homework, and asked sternly, “What are you doing here?

Didn’t you go to the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace?

It hasn’t been long, and you’re not cultivating in the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace.

What are you doing out here!”

“Elder, don’t be agitated; I can return to the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace at any time.

The time I spend outside doesn’t count,” Cao Zhen knew Elder Copper Plate was concerned for him, but it was also a headache visiting Elder Copper Plate, mainly because he tended to receive lectures.

Elder Copper Plate spoke irritably, “Don’t I know the rules of the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace?

You haven’t said, why did you come out for no reason?”

“I came out to conduct some business, and as soon as I finish my business, I’ll return to the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace,” Cao Zhen found it odd; Elder Copper Plate seemed a lot angrier than before.

Could it be because of the lost bets?

“Business!” Elder Copper Plate shouted, seeming to want to say something more, but in the end, it turned into a long sigh.

After a moment, he spoke with the frustration of someone seeing unfulfilled potential, “Child, you… how could you do this?

If you’re out of money, you could have told your uncle.

What business did you come out to do!

You’ve got it backwards…”

Watching Elder Copper Plate earnestly persuading him, Cao Zhen felt truly moved; Elder Copper Plate, clearly poor enough to sell his bead, was still thinking of supporting him.

“Elder, actually…”

Cao Zhen had just begun to try to explain the business he intended to do when Elder Copper Plate suddenly realized something and exclaimed, “No, that’s not right.

Didn’t you earn a lot of money?

From the last competition, you made a hundred thousand spirit stones, right?

With that many spirit stones, why do you need to do business?”

“This…

Business, naturally, is because there’s not enough money,” Cao Zhen said helplessly.

He had five disciples, the newly arrived Yi Sheng had not yet been trained, and the other four were of Ancient Immortal Body, and to improve their realm, they could only consume pills.

Those pills cost a fortune, and added up to more than Four Treasures Peak could afford even if sold a hundred times over; without doing business, he truly couldn’t afford to support his disciples.
