My Master Knows It All-Chapter 411 - 165 I Didn’t Boast, Did I?_4
Chapter 411: Chapter 165 I Didn’t Boast, Did I?_4
Elder Huan Kong didn’t answer, but his meaning was very clear. Yes, you are asking for too much!
"Too much? I don’t think it’s too much at all. Just calculate how many people from Thousand Caves Door have achieved enlightenment through debating with me," Cao Zhen said, beginning to tally with his fingers. "At least one or two... about ten people, right?"
So many people, all of them Cave Masters, have achieved enlightenment because of me. How much has the strength of your Thousand Caves Door improved thanks to their enlightenment?
Could it be that Elder Huan Kong believes that the enlightenment of a Cave Master from your Thousand Caves Door is not as valuable as those Spirit Grasses?"
"I did not say that... Fine, we can provide the medicinal herbs that Peak Master Cao wants, but we do not have the Traceless Herb; Peak Master Cao will need to find another way for that."
Elder Huan Kong’s heart was bleeding. He felt that Cao Zhen hadn’t debated enough on the art of commerce; his haggling was completely that of a merchant!
These materials, even if their Thousand Caves Door were to give them away, would be painful to part with.
Yet, he couldn’t really argue otherwise because, after all, Cao Zhen had indeed led many Cave Masters of their Thousand Caves Door to enlightenment.
Although he was one of the Elders of Thousand Caves Door, he didn’t have the authority to use so many materials directly. After submitting an application to the Cave Master, he gave the materials to Cao Zhen quite quickly.
Receiving the medicinal herbs one by one, Cao Zhen’s mood significantly improved. He said with a sincere face, "Elder, let me tell you the truth; actually, our visit wasn’t specifically to engage in debates with you. We just wanted to go to the Capital City to celebrate the coronation of the new emperor of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty. This was just on the way."
"Peak Master Cao, your requested herbs have been given to you. I’m old and have things to tend to, so I will not see you out," Elder Huan Kong said, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. What do you mean by this? Are you suggesting that just any envoy from Four Treasures Peak could overshadow our entire Thousand Caves Door at the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty?
At this moment, he truly didn’t want to see Cao Zhen any longer.
"Alright, alright, Elder Huan Kong, please feel free to attend to your matters," Cao Zhen said nonchalantly as he walked out, not caring much since he had already taken the herbs. Whether Elder Huan Kong believed him or not was no longer his concern.
As he walked, he turned to the side to ask Wu Jianzi, "What are your plans next? Are you going back to your Sword Sect?"
"No, I have already informed my master that I take you as my Pathfinder. In fact, this time I came down from the mountain for two reasons: one is to participate in debates, and the other is to attend the coronation of the new emperor in the Capital City of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, just like you, Senior Cao."
"Oh? You’re also going to attend the emperor’s coronation? That’s perfect; we can go together."
Elder Huan Kong’s face suddenly turned even uglier. Sure enough, I knew it; you were in cahoots from the start. Now that you’re leaving, you don’t even bother to hide it, directly leaving together.
Watching a completely satisfied Cao Zhen turn around and leave, he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
Cao Zhen came to their Thousand Caves Door and severely trampled on them—not just once, but countless times. And in the end, as Cao Zhen was leaving, they still had to thank him by rewarding him with a collection of precious medicinal herbs. What kind of situation was this!
After leaving Thousand Caves Door, Cao Zhen took out his Flying Boat and directly controlled it to fly toward the Capital City.
He had already planned to make Thousand Caves Door pay for this journey when he was crafting the Flying Boat, which is why this Flying Boat consumed more materials than the previous one and was also faster.
One day later, at Thousand Caves Door.
Although Cao Zhen had left, the debates between the various Immortal Sects had not ended. At the entrance of Thousand Caves Door, a team of Disciples still stood guard, waiting for others to come and debate.
At the entrance of Thousand Caves Door, a man wearing a bizarre long robe, half black and half white, approached and gave a salute: "Qing Mozi from the Pen and Ink Sect has come to debate at Thousand Caves Door."
"Please..." The Disciples of Thousand Caves Door quickly welcomed Qing Mozi into the Immortal Sect.
Elder Huan Kong was still in charge this time.
Soon, within Thousand Caves Door, thirty-six Cave Masters who were adept in calligraphy and painting prepared the Dao discussion platform with their Disciples.
Looking at the barely more than ten Disciples in front of the discussion platform, Qing Mozi shook his head slightly and said: "I’m pressed for time, so it’s better if all those proficient in calligraphy and painting come together to debate."
Pressed for time!
Elder Huan Kong rubbed his forehead. Now, just hearing these three words made his head ache.
However, as hosts, they couldn’t outright refuse someone who wanted to debate with them.
It didn’t take long for the Cave Masters and their Disciples from the other thirty-five caves to arrive at the platform.
Qing Mozi stepped into the center of the platform, took out his personal writing and painting supplies, including pigments, from his Qiankun Bag, looked around, and said with an air of arrogance: "Fellow practitioners, when it comes to calligraphy and painting, our works speak for us. Let us do calligraphy and painting on the spot and see whose work is superior."
After a brief pause, he then addressed everyone around him: "All the Cave Masters from Thousand Caves Door are also invited to participate."
No sooner had he finished speaking than an angry expression appeared on the faces of the people from Thousand Caves Door—a display of arrogance!
This Qing Mozi was far too arrogant, as arrogant as Cao Zhen, challenging all the adepts of the art of calligraphy and painting of Thousand Caves Door directly.
