Just like them, Eminence Wang was a Nine Star poison master. Putting aside his proficiency in poison, his fighting prowess had already reached an unimaginable level. To be able to kill them with a single strike, not even their Primordial Spirits could escape. With such strength, he could probably kill them as easily as cutting vegetables.
Other than the founder, they couldn't think of anyone else who possessed the Innate Poison Body and Poison Soul Constitution.
Shen Jue and Eminence He weren't the only ones who kneeled down in fear. All of the poison masters in the Poison Temple paled, not daring to utter a single word.
"I don't wish for anyone to doubt me or harbor any thoughts of betrayal. Eminence Wang is the perfect example!"
Harrumphing coldly, the lady waved her hands and 'looked' at Shen Jue and Eminence He expressionlessly. "Offer up your souls, and I can spare your lives!"
"Yes!"
Shen Jue and Eminence He didn't dare to say anything. They hurriedly offered up their souls.
Given how the other party had killed Eminence Wang as easily as slaughtering a chicken, it wouldn't take much effort for her to kill them.
"Gather all of the Nine Star poison masters in the Poison Temple and have them awaken my unique constitution. I need to recover my strength as soon as possible..."
Taking the souls of the other party was equivalent to having complete control over their life and death. After arranging everything, she sent a telepathic message to Lin Jianghai.
"Yes!"
Lin Jianghai had already listened to his student Bai Ting's detailed explanation. Without much hesitation, he immediately gathered all of the Nine Star poison masters in the Poison Temple and had them awaken the lady's unique constitution and control her Poison Body.
Hu!
After doing all of this, the lady fell to the ground once more. She closed her eyes and continued sleeping.
However, after the previous experience, everyone looked at her with respect and reverence. No one dared to harbor any ill intentions toward her anymore.
All of the Nine Star poison masters in the Poison Temple worked together to awaken and suppress her Innate Poison Body.
Three days later...
Wei Ruyan woke up. Sitting on the highest throne representing the head of the Poison Temple, she gazed into the distance with clenched fists.
Even though she had been unconscious for the past few days, she knew what her teacher had done for her.
He had risked his life to enter the Poison Temple, and he had even calculated all of the dangers that would befall him, leaving behind a sliver of his will to eliminate them...
His kindness was so great that she wouldn't be able to repay him even if she were to be torn apart.
"Teacher, Ruyan will definitely not let you down …"
Recalling her teacher's warm smile and elegant demeanor, Wei Ruyan's eyes reddened, and she swore in her heart.
Initially, she thought that her mother had died the moment she was born and her father was no longer around. She thought that it was a punishment from the heavens for her to suffer all day long. However, from the looks of it now, it was all so that she could meet such a good teacher …
This was how a teacher should be, a teacher who truly cared for his students and was willing to give up everything!
With a teacher like this, what more could he ask for!
…
"I didn't expect that I would actually use that willpower. The Poison Temple is indeed more dangerous than I thought …"
Soon after the flying boat landed outside Qingyuan Empire, Zhang Xuan sensed that the strand of will he had left in Wei Ruyan's body had been completely depleted, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
The reason why he had left his will and the golden page behind back then was because he was afraid that the people of the Poison Temple would cause trouble for him. After all, unlike Mingshi Tang, the Poison Temple wasn't particular about rules. In the Poison Temple, one had to use one's strongest means in order to win the trust of others.
From the looks of it now, it was fortunate that he had made preparations in advance. Otherwise, it was very likely that his student would have died.
Even though Zhang Xuan was too far away to know what was going on, he was confident that Wei Ruyan would be safe once the golden page was activated.
Putting aside a Nine Star poison master, even a Nine Star master teacher would be unable to withstand the might of the golden page. It shouldn't be too difficult for it to intimidate the crowd in the Poison Temple headquarters.
"Principal Zhang, Combat Master Feng and Combat Master Jiang are here …"
While Zhang Xuan was deep in thought, Ruohuan gongzi suddenly walked over. Raising his head, Zhang Xuan saw Feng Xun, Jiang Yuan, and the others flying over.
Zhang Xuan immediately walked forward to welcome them.
Over the past month, Feng Xun had successfully achieved a breakthrough to Primordial Spirit realm, and his strength had grown steadier and more powerful than before. It was clear that he had put in a lot of effort during this period of time.
At the same time, Jiang Yuan had also managed to reinforce his Primordial Spirit realm primary stage cultivation, and his will had become even more resilient. It seemed like the possession of the Skyleaf King had made him aware of the weakness of his soul, so he had intentionally strengthened it.
"President Zhang, you are finally here!" Feng Xun chuckled.
The other party's flying ship was massive, and the aerial saint beasts they were riding on weren't too powerful either. As such, it was only natural that their speed couldn't match up to theirs. Over the past month, the members of the Combat Master Hall had learned of the incident at the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, and they had made preparations in advance.
In just a short month, the overall fighting prowess of the Combat Master Hall had risen significantly, and even the hall master was pleased to see this.
"The Combat Master Hall has prepared a place for you to rest. Let's head over!"
Jiang Yuan said.
"Alright!"
Controlling the aerial saint beasts, the flying ship slowly rose into the air. Not too long later, under the guidance of Jiang Yuan and Feng Xun, they arrived at a massive manor. It was a vast manor, spanning over a hundred hectares. Even though Zhang Xuan had brought many students with him, they were able to settle down easily.
"President Zhang, the exchange will be held three days from now. At that time, our Combat Master Hall will hold a grand welcoming ceremony to welcome you all!"
After making the necessary arrangements, Feng Xun said.
"I'll be troubling Combat Master Feng then." Zhang Xuan nodded.
It had been a tough journey for him to bring so many students with him, so he should at least rest for a few days. Since the other party had given him three days as a buffer, it seemed like he was intending to make some preparations in advance.
After confirming the time for the exchange, Feng Xun and Feng Xun stood up and bade farewell. After they left, Zhang Xuan called Elder Mi over.
"Have my students cultivate diligently and prepare themselves for the exchange three days from now. I will be heading out for a while," Zhang Xuan said.
The main purpose of the exchange with the Combat Master Hall was to broaden their horizons. Even if they were to lose, it wouldn't mean anything to them.
Regardless of whether it was cultivation or anything else, it was impossible for everything to be smooth sailing all the time. Even if they were to lose occasionally, it would still be beneficial for them to temper their state of mind.
Putting aside the others, just take Zhang Xuan for example. Didn't he often lose to his clone and get beaten up badly?
Despite so many battles, he didn't lose to his clone at all. On the contrary, his fighting spirit was even higher than before, and this only served to fuel his motivation.
Hearing that Zhang Xuan would be heading out, Elder Mi nodded. Then, he turned to Zhang Xuan worriedly and said, "Principal Zhang, this is the capital of Qingyuan Conferred Empire. There are countless experts here, so you must be careful when you head out. Don't act recklessly, or else we won't be able to do anything if you cause trouble …"
They knew very well what their principal specialized in. Even though he possessed unparalleled talent and was an upright and righteous person, he had always been a reckless person.
In Hongyuan Conferred Empire, they might have been able to cover up the matter if something were to happen. However, in the capital, their standing meant nothing at all. Thus, it was best for them to proceed with caution. They were only here for an exchange, so it was best not to cause any trouble.
"Don't worry, the only reason I'm heading out this time is to find a way to cure Jin Yuan Ding. I won't cause any trouble!"
Seeing the worried look on Elder Mi's face, Zhang Xuan shook his head speechlessly.
He had always been a person who knew what he was doing, so why did he leave such a terrible impression in Elder Mi's heart? It was as if he was the King of Troublemakers.
"That's good …" Heaving a sigh of relief, Elder Mi fell silent.
Even though he didn't believe Zhang Xuan's reply, he was still the principal of the Hongyuan Conferred Empire. As an elder, he had already done his duty by warning the other party.
Walking out of the manor, Zhang Xuan asked around for the location of the Blacksmith Guild before heading over.
In order to save everyone, Jin Yuan Ding had fallen into a deep slumber, and even now, it was still unconscious. As its master, it was his duty to find a way to cure it.
But before Zhang Xuan could reach the Blacksmith Guild, a peculiar building suddenly appeared before his eyes. It towered into the clouds, reminiscent of a tower. The top of the building was especially slender, reminiscent of the neck of a swan.
"Spirit Awakener Guild? What is a spirit awakener? "
Glancing at the plaque on the building, Zhang Xuan frowned in bewilderment.
He had heard of many occupations, but he had never heard of a spirit awakener before.
"Young Master, is there anything you wish to enchant? I'll be your guide and introduce you to the best spirit awakeners for ten middle-tier spirit stones. I guarantee that you won't have to waste your money … "
Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed, an attendant suddenly walked up to him.
It was a sixteen to seventeen-year-old young man, and his cultivation was only at Transcendent Mortal 1-dan. He had a pair of black eyes, and he seemed to possess a sharp mind.
Zhang Xuan casually tossed ten middle-tier spirit stones to the attendant.
To the current him, middle-tier spirit stones were nothing much at all. Since the attendant was familiar with him, he could consult him on the matter.
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before asking, "Is spirit awakener … a unique occupation as well?"
"Young Master, it's obvious that you aren't from Qingyuan Empire, right?" the attendant replied with a chuckle.
"I am from Hongyuan Empire," Zhang Xuan replied.
"That's right. I have just arrived in Qingyuan Empire, so most people don't know what a spirit awakener is," the attendant replied with a smile.
"Strictly speaking, spirit awakener can't be considered as a unique occupation, but it's one of the most popular occupations in the Qingyuan Empire. There are many who admire its reputation, and even those from the Master Teacher Pavilion would come to pay a visit. It's a bustling place!"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed. "What can spirit awakeners do?"
For even master teachers to pay a visit to spirit awakener, even if it wasn't a unique occupation, there was bound to be something special about it. Take the herbologists whom he had met before for example. Even though they hadn't officially become an occupation yet, their unique ability to cultivate medicinal herbs was extremely important to apothecaries and apothecaries.
"As the name suggests, spirit awakeners are able to enchant all living beings!"
The attendant explained. "Take for example, there are some cultivators who find it difficult to advance to Consonant Spirit realm after reaching Clarifying Turbidity realm due to their cultivation being too high. Under such circumstances, as long as they find a spirit awakener to guide them, they will be able to swiftly grasp the crux of the art and advance to a higher realm. "There are also some weapons that have lost their spirit, and spirit awakeners are able to enchant them to restore their spirit … In truth, spirit awakeners are a supporting occupation. They are able to enter a unique state of mind, thus tempering their soul and strengthening it!"
"This … You mean to say that spirit awakeners are able to awaken the dormant spirit of an artifact?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
"Of course! While other occupations are unable to do so, spirit awakeners should be able to awaken the spirit of an artifact!" the attendant explained.
"Very well.
Bring me in then! "Zhang Xuan hurriedly nodded.
The reason why he was heading to the Blacksmith Guild was to help Jin Yuan Ding recover its spirit. Since spirit awakeners were able to do so, there was no need for him to head there.
"Young Master, is the spirit of an artifact in a dormant state?"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's reaction, the attendant asked.
Similar to soul oracles, the spirit of an artifact would gradually vanish over time or through battle. As a result, the might of many formidable artifacts would plummet significantly as a result.
If one were to reforge an artifact, while it would be able to regain its spirit once more, it would affect its original structure and even cause its grade to regress.
On top of that, if some of the more formidable artifacts were unwilling to submit to their master, they would have to be erased and replaced with another that was willing to submit.
Under such circumstances, it would be best to find a spirit awakener to awaken the spirit of the artifact. This way, the might of the artifact could be restored without losing any of its original properties.
"Yes!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"May I know what tier of artifact it is? Spirit awakeners of different tiers will require different spirit awakeners … "the attendant said.
"Saint intermediate-tier artifact!"
Zhang Xuan.
