My Master Knows It All-Chapter 369 - 158: I’m Really Not Here to Argue_4

"Peak Master Cao, the transmission of. information takes time. Moreover, people like Wu Jianzi, when they venture out to discuss the Dao, their sects would naturally not allow them to travel merely by Sword Flight. They must have provided them with superior treasures akin to Flying Boats for them to command. Therefore, their speed is naturally fast enough,"

"I see. In that case, why don’t we head to Thousand Caves Door first?" Cao Zhen nodded slightly and proposed his suggestion.

This time he had left home, he indeed hadn’t brought much money.

He thought it was just about attending a mission and then returning to the sect with the reward without expecting it to take so long.

Therefore, he hadn’t brought many Spiritual Stone Tickets.

Who knew that the journey would be so long and encounter so many incidents.

He now had only one hundred thousand taels worth of Spiritual Stone Tickets on him.

However, although he was short on Spiritual Stone Tickets, Elder Shadowless had left him with a Qiankun Bag that contained some.

After all, he still had Spiritual Stone Tickets at Four Treasures Peak, and since they were all the same, he would use these Spiritual Stone Tickets first, then retrieve more upon his return to Hundred Peaks Sect and finally take them to Bright Heart Sect.

Under Lan Pili’s leadership, even after changing direction, it took a day and a half of flying to leave the desert, and then another day to finally arrive at the gates of Thousand Caves Door.

Outside Thousand Caves Door, aside from the usual guardians at the gate, there was also a group of young disciples standing guard.

Suddenly, the group saw figures approaching in the distance. Their expressions grew solemn, and many even showed signs of nervousness.

"Someone is coming."

"I wonder which sect they are from, coming to discuss the Dao!"

"Everyone, be on alert. Also, junior brother, go back and inform the sect that Dao Companions have come to discuss the Dao."

Shortly after, one of the disciples quickly flew back to deliver the message.

As Cao Zhen and his group approached the gates of Thousand Caves Door, they were somewhat surprised at the number of disciples guarding the gate. "Thousand Caves Door, there are so many disciples guarding the gate."

"That’s normal. Thousand Caves Door is known as a sect with a thousand caves, and indeed they have a thousand caves. If we talk about the number of disciples, they have even more than our Hundred Peaks Sect," Lan Pili said as he walked up to the gate of Thousand Caves Door.

As the chief envoy, he stepped forward and greeted everyone with a cupped fist, "Hundred Peaks Sect, Lightning Peak, Peak Master Lan Pili, and Four Treasures Peak, Peak Master Cao Zhen, along with their disciples, are passing by and have come to meet the Dao Companions here."

Although they had come to purchase materials, since everyone present was from the ten major Immortal Sects and were people of status, certain pleasantries still had to be exchanged. They couldn’t just arrive at another sect and blurt out that they were there to buy their materials.

If word got out, they could be criticized for not understanding etiquette and lacking manners.

Especially since it was the Thousand Caves Door, a sect that had always been vying for the position of number one amongst the miscellaneous clans with the Hundred Peaks Sect, it was all the more important to observe proper etiquette.

In front of the gates of Thousand Caves Door, amidst a group of disciples, a rather composed disciple heard the greeting and immediately straightened up, responding with a hand clasped in salute, "Thousand Caves Door, a disciple of Profound Sea Grotto, Lin Xuesong, greets the two Peak Masters. Please come inside."

While speaking, he stepped aside, opening the gate and growing vigilant inside. Peak Masters? Hundred Peaks Sect had actually sent two Peak Masters.

In the past, when sects engaged in discussions, they would only send disciples, but this time Hundred Peaks Sect had sent two Peak Masters. What did this imply?

If they intended to have a Peak Master lead the group, they would normally send only one, not two.

Moreover, these two Peak Masters...

Wasn’t Four Treasures Peak always ranked last in the Hundred Peaks Sect?

And Lightning Peak was also ranked in the nineties. Neither were particularly high-ranking peaks. If they truly wanted a Peak Master to protect disciples, even if they didn’t send one from the Upper Fifty Peaks, they should at least send a Peak Master from a peak ranked in the sixties or seventies.

What was the meaning of sending a Peak Master from the nineties and the Hundredth Peak?

To have the Peak Masters participate in the discussions?

Lan Pili, while walking, quietly transmitted a message to Cao Zhen, "Profound Sea Grotto is among the stronger grottos in Thousand Caves Door, ranked one hundred and sixteen."

Cao Zhen was instantly speechless. The opponent randomly mentioned a grotto, and you knew their rank? Are you saying that you know the rank of every single grotto in Thousand Caves Door? Every single grotto? You seem awfully concerned about Thousand Caves Door!

While Cao Zhen was internally complaining, he followed the other inside the gate, nodding respectfully as he walked. Truly, the disciples of the ten major Immortal Sects showed such respect for each other even though Hundred Peaks Sect and Thousand Caves Door were always in competition, each aspiring to outdo the other.

Yet, when they actually met, even though his group only came to make a purchase, the hosts were so respectful.

Having flown outside for quite some time, he had noticed that the region seemed desolate, but upon entering the gates of Thousand Caves Door, it was as if entering another world altogether.

In contrast to the barrenness outside, here there was a mist of immortality, shaded green trees, mountains, and water...

Although Cao Zhen was not deeply acquainted with the Immortal Realm, as a disciple of Hundred Peaks Sect, he knew something about Thousand Caves Door.

Hundred Peaks Sect had over a hundred peaks and a hundred Peak Masters.
