My Master Knows It All-Chapter 167 - 123 Sincerity and Business_1

There are no shortage of rumors about the reincarnation of beings with great ability in this world, but how many have truly seen one?

Ai Yunqi had heard some of these rumors, yet she had never seen a reincarnated being of great ability.

Unexpectedly, today, under such circumstances, she actually met one—and moreover, this being of great ability had proactively admitted to their identity!

A being of great ability is called so because, before reincarnation, they can choose to reincarnate. But once reincarnated and before they have fully grown, they are exceedingly dangerous.

A being capable of reincarnation—who knows how many treasures they could retain, how many secrets they could possess? If their identity were exposed, who knows how many would harbor thoughts of malice?

Yet the one before her, Cao Zhen, no, he could no longer be called Cao Zhen, this senior, had straightforwardly revealed his identity to her!

The other party had been in the Hundred Peaks Sect for so many years without revealing his identity, yet today, he took it upon himself to tell her. What did this imply?

It implied that he trusted her, and it could even be said that he had confided in her completely.

As Ai Yunqi thought about this, her whole body became excited, trembling lightly and uncontrollably. She was a high-ranking practitioner of the Earth Immortal Realm, but the one before her was capable of reincarnation—a being of great ability!

To have a reincarnated great ability confide in her, the benefits were simply too great, too immense!

She also heard rumors that among those reincarnated beings of great ability, there were those who were ruthless, ready to annihilate entire sects at a word of disagreement. There were those with strange tempers, both righteous and evil, and there were also those with gentle dispositions who even brought benefits to those around them.

From the senior’s behavior, it could be seen that he was not one of those who delighted in slaughter, even though many currently accused him of being the Sixth Evildoer of the Hundred Peaks.

But the senior had not committed actions so heinous as to defy the heavens or injure reason. He had simply tricked some money—and it could not even be called trickery. In the senior’s own words, the disciples from Little Zen Peak and others had indeed obtained the divine weapons belonging to their peaks, so it could not be called deceit.

Furthermore, the senior’s four disciples had all been trained to excel by him. Clearly, he not only bore no malice toward the Hundred Peaks Sect, but he had even developed a sense of identity with it.

Now, he trusted her and confided in her.

Ai Yunqi suppressed the excitement in her heart and, with the courtesy due from a junior, respectfully bowed towards Cao Zhen and said, "Senio..."

Before she could finish the second word, Cao Zhen interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "No need for that. I will always be a disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect, and you will always be my senior."

Ai Yunqi stood in solemn respect. Such was the magnanimity and spirit of a being of great ability—to look only at this life and not the previous one? Did this senior not mention the past because he aimed to surpass his former self, to break and then to establish anew?

Since the senior trusted her so and did not wish to mention the past, she, too, had no need to spread the word that he was a reincarnated great ability, after all, the senior bore no ill will toward the Hundred Peaks Sect.

In that moment, many thoughts flashed through her mind.

Cao Zhen, watching Ai Yunqi lost in thought, mused to himself that she could think all she wanted; no matter what her thoughts were, that was her concern. He had always said he was a disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect and had not deceived her.

However, crafting three more formations here would no longer be possible. The materials at this location were insufficient.

Cao Zhen pondered for a while before speaking again, "Elder, take a look. I’ve crafted six Array Plates here. What kind of Formation Map should I craft for Hidden Dragon Observatory to hold up?"

As soon as Ai Yunqi heard Cao Zhen’s voice, she snapped back to reality. Previously, she might have suggested something, but now, before her was a reincarnated being of great ability; it wasn’t her place to make requests here.

With a bow of both hands, she said, "This old woman is short-sighted and not very proficient in formations. I must ask, please, for Peak Master Cao to decide."

"In that case..." Cao Zhen glanced around and then looked back at Ai Yunqi, "I’ll just craft a random Formation Map. By the way, is it right that the Formation Maps crafted here need to be suitable for the Hundred Peaks Sect, like for one person, perhaps?"

"That’s correct, as long as the person suited for it is from our Hundred Peaks Sect. Then the crafted formation can provide enhancement, which elevates our Hundred Peaks Sect in turn. And besides, it allows the individual to spend money to purchase it, or even to have them..."

As Ai Yunqi was explaining, Cao Zhen interrupted, "If that’s the case, then I’ll craft a Formation Map that suits one person."

Speaking, his gaze shifted and he noticed a large tree trunk on the shelf next to him, his face showing a trace of surprise, "There’s actually a branch of a dead Bodhi tree here; with this, I know what Formation Map to craft now."

Cao Zhen took a large segment of the Bodhi tree branch, using it as the main material to quickly begin crafting. The Formation Map he needed to make was still to be crafted into the shape of an Array Plate.

For crafting the Array Plate, a furnace was necessary, as the materials must be melted into the shape of a plate.

Initially, making a single Array Plate was manageable, but now he intended to craft six Array Plates.

After all, to create so many Formation Maps, if he were to craft each one individually, it was unpredictable how much time it would take. He still was pressed for time as he needed to take Yi Sheng to Vermilion Bird Peak for the banquet and naturally wanted to craft them all together.

But he was alone, and crafting so many Array Plates at once was proving a bit too much to handle—fortunately, Ai Yunqi was here.

"Senior, help me out, please—assist me in crafting the Array Plates."

When Ai Yunqi heard Cao Zhen’s call, she was slightly astonished, but quickly realized what he meant. The senior intended to craft many Array Plates at once, and although she was not an expert in formations, she was proficient in forging and adept at using the furnace.
