My Master Knows It All

But the problem is, these alien races, even if they are allied with us, even if I marry Ju E, they are not truly united with us.

Helping them seems to offer no real benefits. How will my era of prosperity extend to their territory?

No, it’s not impossible.

Once I break through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal, or directly break through to a Golden Immortal and become a saint, the scope of my era of prosperity will certainly expand again.

Larger than the Great Thousand World of the Human Clan, isn’t that the world we are currently in? The Demon Clan is also part of this world, so it might really be useful, but the problem is, who knows how long that will take.

However, if I don’t help them, the Demon Clan will surely have grievances, and their alliance might suffer cracks.

Moreover, if what the Sky Clan says is true, then there’s also a necessity for me to enhance the strength of this world.

Cao Zhen pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "I can help them, but as you know, the cultivation techniques of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan differ, so I cannot guide all cultivators like I do for the Human Clan."

"That is natural," the Fox Monster Ancestral Elder nodded slightly.

Cao Zhen continued, "Besides that, there’s another point. When I helped the Human Clan, they also paid a price, which can be inquired about, so to help the Demon Clan, they must offer sufficient treasures as well."

When he helped the Human Clan, he had the sect leaders of those Great Teachings hand over resources to him, which he then deposited into the Human Clan’s treasure vault.

But with these Demon Clans, it’s different. His era of prosperity hasn’t yet expanded over the entire Human Clan, and currently, he has no interest in managing the treasure vault of the whole world. Furthermore, since the other party is not the Human Clan, he naturally chose to acquire those treasures for himself.

The Fox Monster Ancestral Elder understandingly nodded and said, "Just state specifically what you want from them. If they cannot meet your demands, then no need to guide them. Alright, I’m a bit tired now, you all go on with your tasks."

The Fox Monster Ancestral Elder soon issued a vague order to leave, unclear whether due to genuine fatigue or something else.

Cao Zhen and Ju E hadn’t been in this Holy Land of the Fox Clan for long before they returned to Central Continent, the region occupied by the Demon Clan.

At the same time, Ju E also sent out a message that any Half-step Golden Immortal seeking to break through to the True Immortal Realm could now find Cao Zhen.

In no time, one by one, the Half-step Golden Immortal experts of the Demon Clan were flying towards the city of the Fox Monster Clan.

Cao Zhen finally understood why the Demon Clan was hailed as the second largest clan after the Sky Clan; the number of their experts was astonishing. In less than a day, he was already surrounded by over 300 Half-step Golden Immortal experts of the Demon Clan!

He was, after all, a member of the Human Clan, not the Demon Clan, and the ones present certainly weren’t all the Half-step Golden Immortals of the Demon Clan. It was evident that these were already quite elderly.

The younger members of the Demon Clan likely believed they could break through on their own, so they hadn’t come. If all the Half-step Golden Immortals of the Demon Clan flew here, imagine how many that would be!

Cao Zhen looked at the gathering of Half-step Golden Immortal members of the Demon Clan and repeated the words he had spoken to the Ancestral Elder of the Fox Monster Clan: "Besides that, there’s another point. When I helped the Human Clan, they also paid a price, so to help you, you must offer sufficient treasures as well."

"Sect Leader of Hundred Peaks, what treasures and resources do you require?"

"Yes, Prince Consort Cao, just say what you need."

"If it allows us to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, then the resources are well worth it."

One by one, the surrounding Half-step Golden Immortal members of the Demon Clan offered no skepticism. After all, someone capable of guiding them to become Golden Immortals surely wouldn’t do it for free!

"Alright, then I’ll state my requirements. First, I need Shadow Devil Vine, Illusory Light Flower, Purple Dawn Grass..." Cao Zhen listed a series of herbs; many of his disciples had already broken through to the True Immortal Realm, so he needed to prepare for their advancement to the Golden Immortal Realm.

For individuals like Yi Sheng and Zhu Peng, it wasn’t an issue, but as for Ling Xi and Yan Yourong, because they possessed the Ancient Immortal Body, without the refining of pills, they wouldn’t be able to break through, especially since Xiang Ziyu was already at the peak of the True Immortal Realm; preparations had to be made in advance.

This would also be the last time he refined pills to deceive the Heavenly Dao for them.

In fact, the Daluo Golden Immortal and the Golden Immortal Realm were still within the same cultivation realm, so for figures like Xiang Ziyu, as long as they reached the Golden Immortal Realm and mastered their cultivation, they could all become Daluo Golden Immortals.

However, when it came to becoming a saint, he wasn’t sure what kind of pills could deceive the Heavenly Dao.

Many members of the Demon Clan frowned upon hearing this. "I have Shadow Devil Vine, but I’ve never even heard of Illusory Light Flower."

"I have Illusory Light Flower; how many do you need, Sect Leader Cao?"

Their modes of addressing Cao Zhen were diverse; some called him ’Sect Leader’, while others directly called him ’Prince Consort’. After all, Ju E was the princess of the Fox Monster Clan, and naturally, Cao Zhen could also be addressed as Prince Consort.

Cao Zhen thought for a moment, then said softly, "I need ten Illusory Light Flowers, and besides that..."

He stated the quantities needed for the herbs and, after a brief pause, listed a string of material names. Aside from refining pills for his disciples, he needed a large quantity of resources for many other tasks.

He needed to rearrange the mountain gate of the Hundred Peaks Sect, and there was also his Heretical Golden Core which he hadn’t yet refined. After breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm, he would need to refine the Heretical Golden Core again.
