Even though the other party did not display his true cultivation, his calm and composed demeanor, as if he had transcended the mortal world, was indicative of the vicissitudes of life that he had weathered through.
Even if the other party was not 'Yang shi', there was no doubt that the other party was of significant standing. At the very least, an insignificant figure like Han Shuiliu was no match for him.
Realizing this, Han Shuiliu quickly clasped his fist and said, "Yang shi, there's no need for such words. It's our honor to have you visit our clan. May I know what you require of us? As long as it's within our means, we won't turn you down!"
"It's nothing much. I was just passing by when I was ambushed by a saint beast, so I casually injured it. However, considering that it wasn't intentional and that it was willing to submit to me, I decided to treat it. I don't have any medicinal herbs with me when I travel the world, so I heard that the Han Clan has some medicinal herbs in their possession, so I came over to request for them! "
Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
"You want to request for medicinal herbs?" Han Shuiliu was taken aback. "May I know what saint beast it is and what kind of medicinal herbs it requires?"
Due to the different attributes of saint beasts, the medicinal herbs required were different as well. For example, the Inferno Qilin required fire attribute medicinal herbs, whereas the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast required yin attribute medicinal herbs.
If he knew what kind of saint beast it was and what kind of medicinal herbs it required, it would be easier for him to find them.
"It's them!"
Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the two saint beasts appeared before the crowd. As soon as they appeared, they immediately emanated a powerful aura that threatened to overturn the entire hall.
"Saint 9-dan Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast?"
"Saint 9-dan pinnacle Inferno Qilin?"
"To be able to injure those two saint beasts so casually, he's completely fine?"
…
Seeing the sudden appearance of the two huge fellows, the entire room fell silent. All of the elders of the Han Clan trembled in fear, unable to utter a single word.
Previously, some of them had thought that the clan head of the Han Clan was making a mountain out of a molehill by rushing over to welcome them. However, after seeing the two huge fellows before them, they no longer harbored such thoughts.
To be able to injure two Saint 9-dan pinnacle and Saint 9-dan primary stage saint beasts so casually without a single word … Just how powerful must the other party be?
Just the thought was horrifying.
"I need Cinnabar Sun Grass, Red Flower, Green Leaf Purple Root, Glaze Vine …"
Casually listing out a dozen medicinal herbs, Zhang Xuan shook his head and sighed deeply. "I need these for the time being. Due to their sudden assault, I accidentally used a tenth more of my strength than I should have... This is truly a result of my negligence!"
Han Shuiliu's eyebrows shot up once more as he took a closer look at the two saint beasts. Indeed, the two of them had sustained significant injuries. There was a unique energy pulsating around their wounds, far surpassing that of Saint 9-dan experts. It was not something that could be neutralized easily.
"To think that he would be so powerful even after using a tenth of his strength …"
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Zhang Xuan hurriedly tried to recall the medicinal herbs that the other party had mentioned, and a moment later, his complexion turned awful. After a moment of hesitation, he clasped his fist and said, "Yang shi, these medicinal herbs …"
"Don't worry. Since I need it, I will pay you according to the market price. I won't treat you badly!" Zhang Xuan smiled.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that … out of the dozen or so medicinal herbs that you mentioned, our clan can at most find seven of them. There are still eight that we can't take out …"
Han Shuiliu quickly explained.
"Seven?" Zhang Xuan frowned in displeasure.
The atmosphere in the surroundings suddenly froze, as if it had turned corporeal.
A powerful aura suddenly burst forth from his body, threatening to tear the world apart.
Geji! Geji!
Feeling this aura, Han Shuiliu and the other elders trembled uncontrollably, as if a huge mountain had been placed on their shoulders. Their knees grew weak, and they felt as if they would collapse to the ground at any moment.
"Oh, my apologies. I was distracted for a moment …"
Just as they were about to reach their limits, the middle-aged man before them chuckled softly, and in an instant, the pressure on them vanished without a trace, as if they had never felt it at all.
"It's nothing …"
With the pressure vanishing, Han Shuiliu and the other elders felt their backs drenched in cold sweat.
"I apologize for the shock. I was just thinking that without the medicinal herbs, it would take some time for those two fellows to recover, so I failed to control the energy in my body properly.
It's my fault … "Zhang Xuan shook his head apologetically.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Yang shi, there's no need for you to worry. Even though our Han Clan doesn't have those eight medicinal herbs, the Glacier Plain Court should have them. If Yang shi really needs them, I can help you look for them. Given the close relationship between our Han Clan and the Glacier Plain Court, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to find a few medicinal herbs!"
"Oh? You can help me look for them? "
Zhang Xuan asked.
"Yes!" Han Shuiliu nodded. "Our Han Clan is in charge of the rations and medicinal herbs of the Glacier Plain Court, and we have a close relationship with Elder Bai, so I can entrust her to help us look for them!"
"I'll be troubling Clan Head Han then. I need them right now, so may I know if you can inform Elder Bai and have her deliver them to me personally? While the injuries of the two saint beasts aren't too severe, the sooner we find the medicinal herbs, the faster they will recover. This is to prevent any sequelae from being left behind! "
Zhang Xuan.
"It won't be a problem for me to send them over personally! Yang shi, wait here for a moment. I'll send a message to Elder Bai right now and have her come over personally … "Han Shuiliu nodded before hurriedly leaving.
The other elders knew how powerful the young man before them was, so they quickly arranged for him to be brought to the most luxurious hall of the Han Clan.
"Incredible …"
Chen Leyao, who was standing by the side, was also shocked by this sight. Her red lips were agape, and she found it hard to close them.
What a good move to neutralize and attack.
By releasing the Inferno Qilin and the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast, not only would he be able to intimidate the Han Clan into submission, he would also be able to make use of this opportunity to search for medicinal herbs to treat the two saint beasts … More importantly, he would have an even better reason to get Elder Bai to come over!
Killing three birds with one stone!
Her initial plan was to have the other party contact Elder Bai directly … but now that she thought about it, it seemed like she had fallen into a disadvantageous position.
After all, for an unfathomable master teacher to request an audience with an elder of the Glacier Plain Court … it would be hard for anyone not to suspect him.
Once the news reached the ears of the Glacier Plain Court, they would surely be alerted.
On top of that, he was able to establish his authority and strength without anyone suspecting him at all. His capability was truly fearsome!
If not for the fact that he had seen Zhang Xuan in disguise with his own eyes, he would have really thought that the other party was the real Yang shi!
Sitting in the main hall, Zhang Xuan waited for his tea, and roughly ten minutes later, Han Shuiliu rushed over. Behind him was a middle-aged lady wearing a hat.
"Yang shi, Elder Bai is here …"
Han Shuiliu stepped forward and clasped his fist.
Zhang Xuan nodded, but before he could say a word, the middle-aged lady suddenly frowned. Turning her gaze to the young lady beside her, she asked, "Leyao, what are you doing here?"
