"Hu! I'm finally done for! "
Flipping through the books from afternoon till close to ten at night, Zhang Xuan finally stopped and exhaled deeply.
The books in the basic tier book collection vault were all about pill forging. Even though his cultivation had improved tremendously recently, he still couldn't help but feel a little exhausted after flipping through the books.
After flipping through the books, he finally found out that there weren't any books on unique constitutions in this book collection vault.
Naturally, he couldn't find the answer.
In other words, he had to become an apothecary and search for them in the advanced tier book collection vault!
"This knowledge should be sufficient for the apothecary examination!"
Even though the Tianxuan Kingdom Apothecary Guild is only a small branch, it has the backing of the headquarter. Even if the dynasty were to change, it would still be able to stand strong. Even if hundreds or thousands of years had passed, even a basic tier book collection vault would still contain an astonishing amount of knowledge.
Even a true master teacher wouldn't be able to finish reading through so many books and assimilate all of the knowledge within for his own use.
Yet, Zhang Xuan managed to do it.
With so much knowledge, no one in Tianxuan Kingdom would dare to claim to be the best in terms of understanding of pill forging.
Of course, this was only in theory. If he were to really make a move, not to mention forging pills, he probably wouldn't even be able to start a cauldron.
"I'll go look for something to eat!"
Rubbing his already shriveled stomach, Zhang Xuan stretched his back and walked out of the book collection vault.
Today, he only had breakfast before attending lessons, Enlightenment Will Trial, and taking the apprentice apothecary examination... He was so busy that his stomach was already rumbling. If not for the improvement in his cultivation and the strengthening of his physical body, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.
The basic tier book collection vault was even deeper in the examination room. Walking out, he saw Ouyang Cheng and Du Man still seated inside. They held a brush in their hands and seemed to be writing something. Their expressions were weird, conflicted, conflicted, and uncomfortable...
"What are you two doing?"
Seeing the two apothecaries in such a state, Zhang Xuan walked in with a perplexed expression.
"Ah..."
Ouyang Cheng and Du Man were trying to figure out why Zhang Xuan was flipping through the books. Upon seeing him walk in, they jumped in shock and hurriedly covered a piece of paper on the table with their hands.
Zhang Xuan lowered his head to take a look.
There were a few lines of words on it.
"Guessing the purpose of flipping through the books in the library. First, acting cool (30 votes). Second, being bored (1 vote). Third, studying the material of the books (1 vote)."
Black lines streaked across Zhang Xuan's forehead as soon as he read those words.
This is about me?
He was the only one who had been flipping through the books in the library.
It says me, but … what the hell is a vote?
Also, why was "Acting Cool" ranked first, and with so many votes …
"Cough cough, we just thought that it was a little weird for you to be flipping through the books in the library, so we couldn't help but discuss it among ourselves..."
Seeing that the other party had already seen through it, Ouyang Cheng decided not to hide it anymore and suppressed his embarrassment.
To think that the austere and stern Apothecary Ouyang Cheng would be hiding in a room with another apothecary to study the purpose of an apprentice flipping through a book, even going so far as to have the others vote for him... If word were to spread out, it would be hard to believe.
"I was looking for a book … but I couldn't find it, so I just casually flipped through it!"
Zhang Xuan said casually.
He couldn't reveal the matter regarding the Library of Heaven's Path, but his actions of flipping through the books were indeed too bizarre. It was inevitable that others would be suspicious of him. It seemed like he had to be more careful in the future.
However, he was only flipping through the books. Even though others were suspicious of him, they couldn't understand what he was doing. Even more so, they wouldn't have thought that there was a massive library in his mind.
"It's that simple …"
Hearing those words, Ouyang Cheng and Du Man looked as though they were constipated.
They had been studying the matter for an entire afternoon, and they didn't have any appetite. They thought that there must be some special meaning behind it, but never in their dreams did they expect it to be so simple.
"If it's not that simple, what else can it be?" Zhang Xuan looked at him.
In any case, as long as he didn't admit to the existence of the Library of Heaven's Path, he wouldn't even blush if he lied.
"Ah … Alright then!"
Ouyang Cheng shook his head helplessly. After studying the matter for an entire afternoon, he didn't expect the other party's answer to be so simple. In order to alleviate the awkwardness, he could only say, "I have already informed ten apothecaries about the Pill Debate, and they will be here tomorrow! You should make your preparations as well. It will be held here tomorrow afternoon! "
"Alright!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head. After asking a few more questions regarding the process of the Pill Debate, he turned around and bade farewell.
Just as he walked out of the room, he heard Du Man's voice.
"You lost, hurry up and pay me the money …"
"I lost, but you didn't win either. You bet most of the time that he was acting cool …" Ouyang Cheng said in dissatisfaction.
Zhang Xuan staggered.
You are all reputable apothecaries, alright? To actually use me as a wager …
You still want to act tough? Act your sister!
Feeling stifled, Zhang Xuan walked out of the room. When he reached the entrance, he saw Zhao Ya and the others standing outside.
"Why are you here?"
A hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.
This is the Apothecary Guild, not the academy. Why would Zhao Ya be here?
"Miss Zhang, thank you!"
Upon seeing him, Zhao Ya couldn't hold herself back any longer. She kneeled onto the floor and her eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Hurry up and stand up. Why are you thanking me?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
What's wrong with this lass?
To kneel down the moment she arrived, could it be that … her 'illness' has been cured?
At this point, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you finished eating that Frigid Sun Mother Grass? How was it? "
Upon hearing the words' Frigid Sun Mother Grass', Yao Han, who thought that Zhang Xuan didn't recognize the medicinal herb, trembled.
Since he knew of this grass, he must know its value!
To give such a valuable medicinal herb to his student so casually, and in order to help his student awaken a unique constitution, he even took the risk to take the apothecary examination …
Regardless of how well he taught his student, just his responsible conduct as a teacher was enough to leave him in awe.
"Miss Zhang, I have eyes but failed to recognize Mt. Tai. I have gauged the heart of a gentleman with my own mean measure. I seek your forgiveness!"
Yao Han stepped forward and bowed in admiration.
Recalling his previous actions, he felt that it was laughable.
How could such a responsible teacher possibly fail to teach? It seemed like the rumors outside might not be true.
"This …"
Looking at the state of the two of them, Zhang Xuan blinked his eyes.
Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Why did they become like this after I became an apprentice apothecary?
Very soon, he understood what was going on.
The reason why he came here to look for a solution to his unique constitution wasn't for Zhao Ya alone, but for Yuan Tao. He didn't expect that such an ordinary method would move her so deeply.
However, after thinking about it, he came to a realization. In the eyes of others, the success rate of Pill Debate was simply too low and dangerous. Yet, he chose to do it without any hesitation. In their eyes, he was willing to give up everything for his students and face any difficulties!
Just this sentiment alone was priceless!
Understanding all of this, Zhang Xuan fell silent.
Since he had moved Zhao Ya, the other party's actions had moved him as well.
In the past, he only thought of these students as a bargaining chip to ensure that he wouldn't be expelled. Only now did he realize that humans have emotions. Others will treat you the same way you treat them.
These children's thirst for knowledge and gratitude made him deeply understand the responsibilities and responsibilities of a teacher and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
"Don't worry. As my students, I will help you to walk further and further until you reach the pinnacle of the world!"
Clenching his fists tightly, Zhang Xuan vowed in his heart.
At this moment, he had finally completed the transformation from a transcender to a teacher.
Boom!
The moment this thought appeared in his mind, at the highest point of the Library of Heaven's Path, an intense explosion sounded and a golden book formed. However, Zhang Xuan didn't see it.
