"Have you heard? Previously, when Lord Ling sought our old master for treatment, he took out a million gold coins in one go. How generous! "
At this moment, a hushed whisper sounded in the courtyard.
It seemed to be the guards at the entrance. Upon seeing the old master leave, they were discussing softly.
"A million? Is that for real? "A guard clearly didn't believe the other party's words.
"Of course it's for real! I saw it with my own eyes, it's true! A million gold coins may be an astronomical sum to us, but to a master teacher like the old master, it means nothing at all. I heard from Brother Sun that the old master only accepted it to appease the other party. He doesn't want others to owe him a favor. "The first guard chuckled.
"Now that you mention it, I do recall that Lord Ling kneeled here for an entire night. Initially, the old master didn't want to bother with him, but he stuffed a huge sum of money into Brother Sun's hands. Brother Sun is kind and spoke up for him, thus allowing him to enter..." The second guard sighed.
Even though the two of them spoke softly, they were separated by a door. Du Yuan's cultivation realm was low, so he couldn't hear them clearly. However, Du Miaoxuan heard them clearly.
"Yuan-er, stop kneeling. Return to the clan now and take out my savings from the past few years..."
Du Miaoxuan's eyes lit up.
He was experienced in the pugilistic world, but it was mostly limited to duels, battles, and discerning people. In terms of bribery and gifting money, he couldn't be compared to a merchant. Thus, the thought of money came to his mind.
That's right, even though master teachers don't need money, butlers do!
Residence, maids, food, which of these didn't cost money?
Even a physician had to be paid. If he came empty-handed, it would be weird if the other party was willing to meet him.
"Alright!"
Du Yuan didn't understand what was going on, but upon hearing his father's instructions, he immediately stood up.
"I heard that Brother Sun was reprimanded by the old master because of this. It seems like Lord Ling also offended the old master by doubting him. The dignity of a master teacher mustn't be sullied. To plead for leniency with a million gold coins, what will become of the old master's dignity in the future? The old master even said that he would only do it this once and never again. Honestly speaking, a million gold coins are like the sky to us. To the old master, it doesn't even have the right to plead for leniency! "
The first guard continued.
"Indeed! When I passed by the front courtyard, I heard some people discussing this matter. I thought that it was fake... "The second guard continued.
Outside.
"Wait a moment!" Before Du Yuan could leave, his father's voice sounded in his ears, "Go back and sell all of the precious pills I bought a few days ago. Also, sell off all of the savage beast hides that I have accumulated. Bring the money over to me..."
"Father …" Du Yuan was taken aback.
What happened to Daddy?
Taking money and selling things at the same time?
"Nonsense, of course it's true. I specifically asked Brother Sun, and he said that the old master didn't even look at the million that Sir Ling gave him. The reason why he saved him was mainly because Sir Ling's wife was about to die. Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. If the person who comes to beg for his help is alive and well, even able to execute a martial technique, he will not pay any attention to him … "
The voice of the first guard continued.
"Ah?" Du Miaoxuan's body swayed. He gritted his teeth and continued to instruct Du Yuan, "Sell that sword of mine as well. Also... Third Elder, haven't you always wanted the few businesses that I control? Go and tell him that as long as he pays, all these properties will be his! "
"Father …"
This was his father's most important asset in the family. Once it was sold out, what would happen in the future?
Du Yuan was dumbfounded.
"Hurry up and go!" Du Miaoxuan instructed once more.
Seeing his father's stern expression, Du Yuan didn't dare to retort. He turned around and left.
"To be able to execute a martial technique means that there is nothing wrong with his body. To dare to question a master teacher, there must be something wrong with his head!" The second guard curled his lips. "Although Master doesn't care about money, he doesn't even take a single cent. Yet, he wants Master to give him pointers and waste his energy. Isn't he dreaming?" The second guard continued.
Du Miaoxuan clenched his teeth. "Also, bring your savings and your mother's savings over as well …"
"…"
Du Yuan staggered and he almost burst into tears.
From the looks of it, his father's mind had already gone haywire.
… … …
The conversation between the two guards was regarding the matter that Zhang Xuan had instructed him to do.
If he didn't remind the other party, how long would he have to wait for him to deliver the money?
In any case, it was the words of the guards and it had nothing to do with him. He didn't dare to pin the crime of wanting money on a master teacher.
"As expected of the old master. Even after selling a person, he still has to count the money for him …" Hearing the old master instructing him on this matter, Sun Qiang was speechless.
Initially, the other party would definitely reward the old master out of gratitude for his guidance. However, it was hard to say how much the reward would be. However, after hearing the conversation between the two guards, how could he dare to be stingy?
Not only would he not damage his reputation, he would even be able to earn more money. The old master was truly a scam...
Initially, he thought that the old master didn't care about money. However, from the looks of it now … master teachers are humans as well. They need to spend as well.
… … …
After leaving the residence, Zhang Xuan found a secluded street and washed off the disguise on his face.
It was tiring for him to wear these things for more than a day.
"After a day, the guild should have prepared the Meridian Rejuvenation Pill and Body Nourishment Medicinal Solution. I should buy them for Wang Ying, Liu Yang, and the others first!"
This was the reason why he disguised himself as a master teacher to earn money. Since the Unravel Yin Pill and Colossal Rhinoceros Blood were temporarily unavailable, it should be easy to prepare these two items.
Arriving at the guild, these two items were indeed prepared. As for the remaining two items, Guild Leader Ouyang had already requested for them from the other guilds.
The Apothecary Guild was spread across the various kingdoms. There were some pills and treasures that Tianxuan Kingdom didn't have, but that didn't mean that the other kingdoms didn't have them. As long as he applied to the headquarters, they would be able to transport them over from the nearest kingdom. This way, the speed would be faster. Otherwise, how could they be transported over in a short ten days from the headquarters?
After paying a million gold coins as a deposit, Zhang Xuan successfully retrieved the two items.
"Right, Guild Leader Ouyang, do you have any Breath Forging Pills here? Give me some as well! "
After placing the two items into the storage ring in the room, Zhang Xuan asked.
Breath Forging Pills were extremely beneficial to Fighter 1-dan Juxi realm cultivators. If Wang Ying and the others were to consume them, their cultivation speed would increase significantly.
"I have forged quite a few of these and I still have some leftovers. I can give them to you!" Guild Leader Ouyang smiled and passed two jade bottles over.
Taking the jade bottles, Zhang Xuan saw that there were dozens of pills inside. He knew that the other party was expressing his goodwill to him and it wouldn't be good to reject him. Thus, he nodded his head and accepted it.
Breath Forging Pills might not be of high quality, but they were genuine grade-1 pills. Every single one of them cost several tens of thousands of gold coins. Guild Leader Ouyang was really generous to give him dozens of them in one go.
