300: Chapter 146: I Have a Book_3 300: Chapter 146: I Have a Book_3 This guy probably doesn’t believe he can create the Paulownia Puppet n.
He thinks they’re chanisms obtained from who knows where, so he wants to take them and then disassemble them to study.
Study?
As if Mozi’s chanical techniques are so easily deciphered!
Given the ti, I might discuss with him, proposing that Puppet Peak help manufacture the chanism n and I take a cut.
But right now, I still need to undertake alchemy, and there’s one material I haven’t sorted out yet.
Where’s the ti to negotiate such matters?
Cao Zhen pondered, then purposefully showed a troubled expression and said, “Peak Master Zhou, our Four Treasures Peak only has ten wooden chanism n.
If we were to give them all to you, our Four Treasures Peak would be left with none.”
He couldn’t agree too easily; if it was too easy, the other party might make more demands in the future.
Besides, he needed to keep at least two chanism n to help with tasks.
A look of surprise flickered in Peak Master Zhou’s eyes.
Take them all?
I never intended to take all his chanism n.
I had soone investigate, and there have only ever been ten chanism n on Four Treasures Peak, no increases.
Clearly, Cao Zhen has acquired ten chanism n from sowhere.
How complex is chanical craftsmanship?
It’s not possible that Four Treasures Peak could have crafted such exquisite chanism n.
They must have been obtained from elsewhere.
There’s no way Four Treasures Peak would give them all to .
But now, from Cao Zhen’s words, he obviously misunderstood my intentions, thinking that I wanted all the chanism n.
Cao Zhen is still too naive.
I wanted so chanism n to study, and now he’s offered, I might as well take a few more.
After all, each extra chanism man increases the odds of successfully deciphering their secrets.
Peak Master Zhou thought for a mont and said, “How about this, Peak Master Cao, we’ll only take eight of your chanism n, leaving two for Four Treasures Peak.
Does that sound fair?”
Cao Zhen shook his head repeatedly, “Eight?
That’s too many, too many.
Peak Master Zhou, I only need half a pound of Fish Gliding Secret Silk.”
“Half a pound?
That’s not a small amount!
Alright, seven then.
How does seven chanism n sound?”
“Six…”
After so haggling, Cao Zhen ultimately traded six chanism n for half a pound of Fish Gliding Secret Silk from Puppet Peak.
Cao Zhen left the mountain looking satisfied.
Six chanism n, which could be created anyti, exchanged for half a pound of Fish Gliding Secret Silk that even Bai Fengzi, the Sect Leader, did not possess seed a very profitable deal to him.
Now the problem was how to obtain the Millennium Double Dragon Bamboo from Military God Peak.
Above the mountain, Peak Master Zhou also smiled.
While the Millennium Fish Gliding Secret Silk was indeed hard to obtain and truly rare, its real value to him lay in being a required material for crafting strongn.
Material, what does it matter compared to the art of creating chanism n?
Six wooden chanism n – as long as I can understand the intricacies within, I can mass-produce them.
Cao Zhen departed from Puppet Peak and headed towards Hidden Dragon Observatory.
Although he hadn’t acquired the Millennium Double Dragon Bamboo yet, and alchemy had already begun, he couldn’t stop.
He had to return and continue with alchemy while figuring out how to barter for the bamboo with the people from Military God Peak.
Cao Zhen had just returned to Five-Elent Pill Ground.
“Boom…”
Suddenly, a loud noise rang out.
Cao Zhen abruptly looked up in the direction of the sound.
In the distance, atop a mountain peak, rays of colorful auspicious light in the sky began to converge in one direction.
In just a short ti, the colorful lights had completely vanished.
And from afar, the mountain peak seed devoid of any signs of life.
“This…
this is…
soone has fallen into slumber!” Cao Zhen exclaid in shock.
Wasn’t there supposed to be more ti?
Who else had fallen into slumber now?
With the previous news from Elder Copper Plate about a sleeping Supre Elder, this was now the second powerful expert within the Hundred Peaks Sect to fall into slumber!
“Slumber, another has fallen into slumber,” Gu Chengyu observed the distance and frowned, “The arrival of the Qiankun small epoch might be sooner than we, and the various sects, have calculated.
When the ti cos, I wonder what dangers all the clans and sects will face.”
No one can confirm the exact day of the Qiankun small epoch’s arrival; we can only predict an approximate ti based on the changes in the Heavenly Dao.
Now it seems that the epoch will co sooner than anyone guessed, disrupting many of the sects’ plans, a scenario none of the major clans wishes to see.
As for Cao Zhen, he is still too weak to get involved; right now, his foremost task is to complete the Pill for Xiang Ziyu.
That day, Ling Xi arrived at the Five-Elent Pill Ground to inquire about Puppet Peak’s personnel going to Four Treasures Peak to retrieve chanism n.
After informing Ling Xi about it, she quickly left.
Then, the next day, Ling Xi reappeared at the Five-Elent Pill Ground, bringing several talismans with her.
“Master, didn’t you once ntion a type of talisman that can transmit sound over thousands of miles?
I studied it recently and finally crafted this type of talisman, which I call the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman.
However, the talismans I’ve crafted can only be used once, and will require new ones for subsequent use.”
Cao Zhen looked at the dozen or so talismans laid out in front of him by Ling Xi, utterly dumbfounded.
So, this is what talent looks like?
