"Zhang Shi is conducting a lesson?"
The old blacksmith was taken aback. He listened intently, and as he expected, a faint voice could be heard from afar.
Due to the distance, he was unable to hear it clearly. However, as soon as he heard it, he could feel the zhenqi in his body pulsating intensely, driving it according to the other party's words.
"This is … the Impartation of Heaven's Will?"
The old blacksmith's throat went dry as he came to a realization. His eyes lit up, and he could no longer suppress the agitation in his heart.
Even though he was only a blacksmith, he still knew quite a bit about the legends of master teachers. The Impartation of Heaven's Will imbued the pots and pans with spirit. If he were to sell them in the future, their prices would surely reach an astounding level.
In the past, given his skills, he could sell a single metal pot for a single gold coin. But now, he might not even be able to sell it for a single middle-tier spirit stone.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to capture those escaped pots first!
Hu!
Some time later, the old blacksmith finally caught up with the pots and pans. Holding the metal hammer in his hand once more, he suddenly felt a sense of kinship with the hammer.
It was as if the hammer had grown out of his hand, weightless.
"With this, I won't have to wait until the afternoon. I'll be able to knock out the eighteen metal pots in no time. My life will be changed greatly!"
The old blacksmith clenched his fists tightly as he looked at the source of the voice. Kneeling on the floor, his eyes reddened in agitation.
"Thank you, Zhang Shi!"
…
Similar scenes were occurring all over the streets and alleys of Qingyuan City.
On top of raising one's cultivation, Zhang Xuan's Impartation of Heaven's Will was extremely effective in other supporting occupations as well. Some apothecaries were unable to forge pills, but after listening to Zhang Xuan's lecture, they were able to succeed swiftly. Some saint beasts were unable to conceive due to their powerful bloodlines, but after listening to Zhang Xuan's lecture, they were able to conceive a pair of twins …
…
Padah!
The final word in the air dissipated, and all of the cultivators in the square recovered from their cultivation. Their eyes glowed with excitement.
While the Heavenly Impartation of Mentor's Calligraphy could only be used by a single person to cultivate, Zhang shi's Heavenly Impartation of Mentor's Calligraphy was actually able to produce a resounding voice that was similar to the Impartation of Heaven's Will.
This was truly inconceivable.
"Teacher!"
They kneeled on the floor in awe.
Those who cultivated his cultivation technique were half a teacher to him.
From this day onward, all of the master teachers and cultivators in Qingyuan City would have to thank Zhang Xuan.
"To be able to convince the masses with a single word, to be able to settle the entire continent with a single word... This is what a true master teacher is like!"
Looking at everyone's gazes of worship, Yao shi Tian sighed inwardly.
Even though she was an 8-star master teacher, she wasn't capable of such a feat.
The talent of Zhang Xuan had far surpassed their expectations. In fact, he could even be considered to be on par with the scions of some Sage Clans.
Furthermore, despite so many people acknowledging him as their teacher, there was not the slightest bit of excitement or complacency on their faces. Just this attitude alone was enough to ensure that they would be able to walk further and further!
"I must take him in as my student …"
He quietly clenched his fists.
No matter how talented the other party was, he had yet to reach the level of an 8-star master teacher. Given her identity, there was still a chance for her to take him in as her student.
As long as he succeeded and nurtured with great effort, his name would definitely resound throughout the continent!
"Zhang Shi, may I know if you're interested in studying in the Empire Alliance so that you can quickly raise your cultivation?"
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but turn his gaze over.
"Empire Alliance?"
"Indeed. There are the best cultivation technique manuals and cultivation resources here. If you agree to become my student, I can bring you there and provide you with the best cultivation technique manuals and connections. I guarantee that you will become a true 8-star master teacher within fifty years …" Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Yao shi Tian said.
"Fifty years?" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "I'm not interested!"
It had taken him so many years to become an 8-star master teacher. By now, the grass on his grave was already several zhang tall.
To others, becoming an 8-star master teacher before seventy was a huge temptation, but to Zhang Xuan, it was as slow as a snail.
"This is a good opportunity for you. The Empire Alliance is deeply rooted, and there are many factions within it. Without a leader to lead you, it'll be easy for you to run into trouble."
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had rejected her offer, Yao shi Tian explained.
"Factions?"
"The Empire Alliance is an alliance that consists of not only the Eight Conferred Empires, but there are also a few Sage Clans as well. These powers have banded together to form the Empire Alliance. As such, due to the conflict of interests between the various powers, Mingshi Tang has split into several factions. If you don't get a clear understanding of these factions or choose to side with one of them, it'll be difficult for you to advance forward, "Yao shi Tian said.
"The reason why I want to accept you as my student isn't to take advantage of you but to guide you along the way so that you can assimilate into the Empire Alliance and gain its acknowledgement. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, it'll be useless. Given how large the Empire Alliance is, it doesn't lack geniuses! "
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
He had read the relevant books on the Empire Alliance, so he knew the structure of the Empire Alliance.
Just as Yao shi Tian had said, the Eight Conferred Empires were only a portion of the Empire Alliance.
There were also some Sage Clans and sects that couldn't be considered to be too powerful under the Empire Alliance.
Similar to the League of Nations, there were also sects like the Fleeting Cloud Sect and Frigid Gale Sect beneath it.
Where there were people, there would be conflicts. Different powers occupied different territories, so it was natural that they would be divided into many different powers. It was nigh impossible for one to enter the Empire Alliance without joining it.
"How about it? Do you want to consider it?"
Yao shi asked.
"This … Mingshi Tang is divided into many factions, and the headquarters just let it develop like this?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
Along the way, Mingshi Tang had always been united. Why did it sound a bit messy in a high-level place like the Empire Alliance?
"When Kong Shi established the Mingshi Tang Society, he once said that if the human race wanted to develop rapidly, they must liberate their nature, and there must be internal competition and strife. Otherwise, if everyone is at ease, how can we surpass the other professions? "
Yao Shi Tian laughed.
"This …" Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before nodding.
The rules of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy were the same.
As long as they didn't encounter anything that harmed the human race, they basically didn't care and allowed the students to fight amongst themselves.
Only with competition would there be progress.
If they followed orders from above, they would be able to gather combat power in a short period of time. However, after a long period of time, they would become mediocre and would no longer be able to display the greatness of the number one job.
It had to be said that the rules set by Kong Shi were indeed excellent.
It was also for this reason that the Mingshi Tang Society was able to deal with their own affairs as long as it wasn't too much for them to handle. There was no need for them to report the matter to the headquarters and have them send someone over.
This was also the reason why talented individuals were able to emerge from the Mingshi Tang Society endlessly. Over the past several dozen millenniums, no other occupation had been able to stand against them.
Only the fittest would survive.
Only by constantly choosing the best would they be able to retain the best.
"This kind of conflict is the most troublesome …"
Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella in distress.
To be honest, he hated such factions the most. It was simply a waste of his energy.
"Indeed, but there's nothing we can do about it. Unless we become an elder of the Mingshi Tang Society, we'll have to face all kinds of restrictions and sanctions!"
Yao shi Tian said.
"Elder?"
"Un. The elders of the Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion have the right to vote when making decisions. Just this in itself is enough to make them a target that no one would dare to offend," Yao shi replied. "That's right.
"How can one become an elder?"
Zhang Xuan was a little tempted.
He did not want to get involved in the affairs of the various factions. If he could become an elder, not only would he be spared from such trouble, he would also be able to enjoy the corresponding resources.
"Become an elder?"
Yao shi Tian was rendered speechless.
This fellow sure was daring.
Even an 8-star low-tier master teacher like her was unable to become an elder, and yet, a mere Seven Star master teacher like him was already thinking about it … Aren't you thinking too much?
Suppressing her displeasure, Yao shi Tian explained, "In order to become an elder of the Mingshi Tang Society, one must first become an 8-star master teacher and possess a cultivation of Saint 7-dan. More importantly, one must also obtain the pavilion master's approval … Otherwise, don't even think about it! "
At this point, Yao shi Tian sighed deeply. "My teacher is an 8-star middle-tier master teacher, and he has been applying for the position of an elder for the past thirty years, but … it's a pity that he has never succeeded!"
If her teacher was an elder, he would have long been sent to a better location to cultivate. He wouldn't have been sent to such a poor place to clean up the mess.
If even her teacher was not qualified to become an elder, the young man before her was only a Seven Star master teacher. No matter how talented he was, it was useless!
The higher the rank of a master teacher, the more talented he would be.
If Pavilion Master He had agreed to allow others to become an elder so easily, there wouldn't have been only twelve elders of the Mingshi Tang Society after so many years.
"That … is indeed difficult!"
Hearing that even Yao shi Tian's teacher had failed, Zhang Xuan scratched his head awkwardly.
Even an 8-star middle-tier master teacher with a cultivation of Saint 7-dan was unable to do so … it went without saying that it would be impossible for him to do so.
"Indeed …"
Yao shi Tian nodded. "As a member of the Mingshi Tang Society, it's impossible for him to extricate himself from the conflict of the Mingshi Tang Society. Thus, he can only choose a side and join one of them. Even though my teacher isn't an elder, he's one of the many managers of the Mingshi Tang Society. Becoming my student is equivalent to joining our faction, and it'll save you a lot of trouble …"
Just as Yao shi Tian was about to explain the matter to Zhang Shi, a powerful gust of wind suddenly blew in the air, and a massive saint beast slowly descended from the sky.
Following which, several figures descended from the sky.
"Wu Shi, Hall Master Xing …"
Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
They were none other than Wu Shi and the others. They had rushed back from the Northern Meadows City.
"Zhang Shi, I have already reported the matter to Mingshi Tang Society, and Pavilion Master He has rewarded me accordingly!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wu Shi said with a smile. He raised his palm, and a ray of light shot toward Mingshi Tang.
Hong long!
It was as if some kind of formation had been activated, and a powerful surge of energy shrouded the surroundings.
Knowing that it was an order from the headquarters, all of the master teachers and combat masters turned their gazes over with grim expressions.
"Qingyuan Empire Mingshi Tang Zhang Xuan, Zhang Shi, foiled the conspiracy of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and killed the Qingtian Emperor and the Ten Great Kings. He has contributed greatly to the Qingyuan Empire, and he has been appointed as an honorary elder of Mingshi Tang Society …"
A grand voice echoed in the air.
