My Master Knows It All-Chapter 164 - 122 Array Plate_5

"Elder Ai. No matter what, it was you who reminded me that day. If it hadn’t been for your advice in the Divine Soldier Tomb, I probably wouldn’t have been able to take away those divine weapons. Regardless, I should thank you.

After all, I was really, really short of money at the time. I didn’t expect that those divine weapons could sell for so much. Please accept this money. This is my thanks for your reminder that day!" Cao Zhen said, taking out a spiritual stone ticket worth ten thousand taels and handing it to Ai Yunqi.

"Take your filthy money!" Ai Yunqi slapped it away furiously, landing a heavy blow on Cao Zhen’s arm, turning it red, and the spiritual stone ticket fell to the ground as she angrily said, "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you? Just like you, heart set on money!"

Cao Zhen, feeling Ai Yunqi’s anger, sighed inwardly. If it were another place, another person, he would have turned around and walked away—who would want to deal with this attitude?

But Elder Ai Yunqi truly helped him, and it was thanks to her words that time that he felt obliged to remember this debt of gratitude.

He squatted down, picked up the spiritual stone ticket with a sincere face, and said, "Elder Ai, I understand why you are angry with me. Your anger comes from your affection for the Immortal Soldier Workshop and the Divine Soldier Tomb. But I must give you these spirit stones."

As he spoke, Cao Zhen took out another spiritual stone ticket worth ten thousand taels and said, "Here is a ticket worth twenty thousand taels."

No sooner had his words fallen than Ai Yunqi’s entire face turned livid with rage, and she roared, "Cao Zhen! What kind of person do you think I, Ai Yunqi, am! Leave, get out of my sight!"

Cao Zhen’s face still showed no displeasure, and he slowly reached into his bosom, taking out another spiritual stone ticket and saying, "Thirty thousand taels." One ten, two tens not accepted, then give more.

"Get lost!" Ai Yunqi was extremely enraged. What was Cao Zhen doing? Was he trying to hit her with spirit stones? These spirit stones were earned by selling those divine weapons. If she took them, what would she be!

Cao Zhen didn’t leave, nor did he take back the spiritual stone tickets, but from his chest, he took another ticket worth twenty thousand taels and said, "Fifty thousand taels."

"You..." Ai Yunqi began, but then her voice trailed off, and she fell silent.

Indeed, she hated Cao Zhen. She had feelings for the Divine Soldier Tomb. She also had her pride.

But in this day and age, who could resist the temptation of spirit stones?

Cultivation requires money, and even if she didn’t use it, what about the people close to her?

Besides, she needed spirit stones.

Cao Zhen, seeing the silent Ai Yunqi, took a step forward, directly stuffed the spiritual stone tickets into her hand, and said, "Grandma, what’s done is done, and cannot be changed. With these spiritual stone tickets, you could improve the environment here or add something." Since Elder Ai Yunqi didn’t scold him anymore, it was natural she was tempted but just needed a step down.

Ai Yunqi looked at the spiritual stone ticket now clenched in her hand, shook her head slightly with a self-deprecating smile, and said, "I too am a mundane person, not much better than you."

She then sighed again and muttered to herself. In the end, she had taken the spiritual stone ticket. In this regard, was there really much difference between her and Cao Zhen?

"Tell me, what are you doing back at the Immortal Soldier Workshop?" Looking at Cao Zhen before her, her expression slowly softened, and she said earnestly, "You can no longer go to the Divine Soldier Tomb. Even if I allow you to enter, if you make such a stir again, eventually, you will offend the entire Hundred Peaks Sect.

Do you still intend to cultivate in the sect? What about your five apprentices?"

Cao Zhen quickly said, "Grandma, this time I’ve come not to enter the Divine Soldier Tomb. I just want to refine two formation maps."

"Refine formation maps? That’s no problem." Ai Yunqi sighed with relief, glanced at several furnaces in the yard, pointed to one, and said, "If it’s for refining formation maps, that All-encompassing Furnace should be the most suitable."

As long as Cao Zhen wasn’t entering the Divine Soldier Tomb again to take divine weapons and selling them to others, that was fine.

"Thank you for the reminder, grandma." Cao Zhen saluted Ai Yunqi with clasped hands, thanked her, and then strode to the All-encompassing Furnace, took out one divine weapon after another from the Clean Awareness Vajra Bracelet, and threw them into the furnace.

"What are you doing!" When Ai Yunqi saw what Cao Zhen was doing, her face suddenly changed, and she appeared in front of Cao Zhen in a flash, grabbed him, and shouted, "What are you doing? These are divine weapons, they will all melt if you throw them into the furnace!"

"I know they will melt," Cao Zhen said, holding a longsword in his hand. "But I need materials to refine formation maps. Without sufficient materials, how can I refine a formation map? Once these divine weapons are melted, I will naturally have the materials to refine formation maps."

"Have you gone mad!" Ai Yunqi stared at Cao Zhen as if looking at a madman and exclaimed, "These divine weapons are all left by our Hundred Peaks Sect ancestors. Once you melt them, they can never be recovered."

"Grandma, I’ve thought about these issues," Cao Zhen said seriously. "I’m short on materials now, am I not? First, I’ll use these divine weapons, and later, when I have more leeway, I can buy materials again, melt the formation maps down, and then refine these divine weapons back into existence."
