145: Chapter 119_3 145: Chapter 119_3 “Selling each one for 100,000 Spirit Stones?

What were you thinking?” Beichen Ying looked at Cao Zhen as if he were looking at a fool, “Don’t you know that not all Divine Weapons are the same?

Different Divine Weapons should not all be sold at the same price.”

With a smug look on his face, he said, “The Divine Weapons I sold back then, the cheapest went for 100,000 Spirit Stones, and the most expensive one sold for 150,000 Spirit Stones.

“I’m telling you, when you were selling your Divine Weapons, you should have pushed for a higher price!

What are you afraid of?

It’s their Peak’s Divine Weapon, would they dare not to buy it back?

“If they don’t buy it, you just spread the word that they are betraying their ancestors, and see if they don’t obediently buy back their Divine Weapon.

I’m telling you, when I sold them the Divine Weapons, I didn’t even let them complete their last wishes, and I sold it to them.”

Cao Zhen’s face turned green with regret— he had undersold them!

Beichen Ying extended a hand and patted Cao Zhen’s shoulder, giving him advice like a seasoned expert, “Young man, if you want to become a celebrity like me, you still have a long way to go.

Also, I heard you’re going into the Talisman Making business?

Why didn’t you invite me to join in?”

He knew that the Talisman Making business was not easy to undertake, but considering what he knew about Cao Zhen, Cao Zhen must have had a backup plan.

Just like him, would he do something unprofitable?

What angered him was the fact that Cao Zhen didn’t include him.

Cao Zhen despised the idea, “You making talismans?

How many can one person make?

If I asked you, could you do it?

Can you afford to do nothing but make talismans every day?”

“If not making talismans, then for gathering talisman materials, why didn’t you give me advance notice?”

Cao Zhen scoffed even more, “Seek you…

with your reputation as part of the Five Evils of Hundred Peaks, do you think people would sell to you?”

“I have money, why wouldn’t they sell to me?” Beichen Ying said, visibly irked, “You should have told me sooner.

When I went to gather materials for Talisman Making, I found that the prices had already risen by over ten percent, and the materials themselves had become scarcer.”

“Only ten percent?

That’s rising too slowly.

Well, you can still go and gather now, it’s not too late, and the prices might even rise further.

However, how much you can gather will depend on your own abilities.” Cao Zhen thought for a moment, then disclosed part of his upcoming plan to Beichen Ying.

“So actually, gathering materials is also for the sake of making money, to bet on our Four Treasures Peak’s ranking rising once the betting for the Hundred Peaks ranking opens,” Beichen Ying nodded slightly, “This business has potential, but don’t forget the most important thing— to quickly improve the strength of your disciples.”

After saying a few more words, Beichen Ying quickly left; he was in a hurry to raise funds and gather materials for Talisman Making.

“It seems I should let several more disciples improve their strength.

There’s no money for Alchemy, but they can be sent to Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace.”

After pondering for a while, Cao Zhen quickly summoned Ling Xi and gave her a few instructions, sending her off to the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace.

Shortly after Ling Xi left, several figures approached Four Treasures Peak.

At a glance, there were over ten individuals, and among them, most had shaven heads.

“So many monks?

These are people from Little Zen Peak, and the other seven Peak Masters of the Zen Meditation Peaks have also come.

I went to look for them yesterday, and they were not there.

Are they all coming as a group today?

And those others, they seem to be the Peak Masters from the twentieth to the twenty-fifth peaks.

What are they doing here?” Cao Zhen watched as several figures clad in the attire of Peak Masters approached, and felt quite perplexed.

The group had already noticed Cao Zhen standing outside his simple courtyard, and several faces showed a dangerous expression as they stepped forward to greet him, “Peak Master Cao, we’ve come uninvited and hope you will forgive our intrusion.”

“Greetings to the fellow Peak Masters,” Cao Zhen responded with a clasped fist salute but did not speak.

Beichen Ying had just sought him out, and now these people had come; obviously, they had come to inquire about Divine Weapons.

Since these people had sought him out, if he were to speak first, would it not seem like he was eager to sell those Divine Weapons?

He needed to act as if he didn’t want to sell, to be able to fetch a higher price.

The others also responded with a salute and then simply looked at Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen, likewise, was smiling as he watched them, thinking to himself, you all came to find me, if you have something to say, say it, what’s the meaning of just looking at me like this?

The group, facing Cao Zhen, felt equally flustered.

So many Peak Masters were present, shouldn’t he offer them a seat, suggesting ‘please come into my humble dwelling’?

It seems that his house truly was a ‘humble dwelling’?

Looking at the small house, it appeared there wasn’t enough room to seat everyone.

The Purple Feather Peak Master, feeling the awkward atmosphere, cleared his throat and broke the silence, “Peak Master Cao, we heard you possess some of our predecessors’ Divine Weapons.

I wonder, do you have any that belong to our Purple Feather Peak?”

“So, you’re here for Divine Weapons,” Cao Zhen said, feigning sudden realization, “Are all of you looking for the Divine Weapons left behind by your Peak’s predecessors?”

“Exactly.”

“Do you have any of our Peak’s Divine Weapons in your possession?”

The group nodded in affirmation.

Feigning difficulty, Cao Zhen said, “There are indeed some, but Beichen Ying has already told me he wants to buy the Divine Weapons I have, so…

”

At the mention of this, the group hurriedly interjected.

“Peak Master Cao, what kind of person is Beichen Ying?

He’s one of the Five Evils of Hundred Peaks; his words can’t be trusted at all.”

“Peak Master Cao, we are well aware of Beichen Ying.

He doesn’t really have that many Spirit Stones.”

“Peak Master Cao, if you have any Divine Weapons from our Blue Domain Peak’s ancestors, please leave them for us.

After all, those are relics from our Peak’s predecessors.”
