"Replace meridians?"
The guild leader paused for a moment before continuing, "Meridians can accommodate the flow of zhenqi, and along with the rise of one's cultivation, they can even expand their meridians, allowing one's strength to flow smoothly. Even though the guild has plenty of artifacts, none of them are capable of such a feat!"
Meridians were something that could grow, and it would change along with the cultivation of a cultivator. The stronger the cultivator, the wider the meridians; the weaker the meridians, the narrower the meridians... It was an inseparable part of the body. Even though the weapons forged by the Blacksmith Guild were profound, there was no substitute for them.
"Can't do it?"
Zhang Xuan furrowed his brows. "I remember that some of the more powerful weapons can be extended or shortened, and they can be big or small. Would it be better to use them on the meridians?"
Powerful weapons were also capable of changing their size at will. For example, the Sanctum Head Token in Zhang Xuan's hand was usually only the size of a palm, but it could also transform into a massive shield.
"Weapons can change according to one's will, but they aren't able to harness zhenqi. Furthermore, the transformation of one's meridians involves the space around them, not the thickening of the outer walls. If one were to enter one's body and undergo an abrupt transformation, I fear that one might end up getting injured instead."
The president smiled bitterly.
"Sigh …"
Zhang Xuan's face was livid.
Even though he knew all of this, he was unwilling to give up. He hoped that he would be able to obtain some different information from others. However, from the looks of it now, it seemed that it would be impossible for him to refine meridians using the same method he used to forge weapons.
"Actually, there's no need to be depressed. It's true that forged artifacts can't solve the problem, but I've heard rumors that someone has managed to complete the meridian replacement!"
Seeing the expression on Zhang Xuan's face, the guild leader suddenly recalled something and said.
"Who?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Since someone could do it, he could definitely do it too! Even if he couldn't do it, he would still find that person to reconnect Zhao Ya's meridians so that she could cultivate again.
"What I've heard is just a rumor. Whether it's true or not, I've never verified it! Not long ago, about 20 years ago, an expert from the headquarters of Mingshi Tang searched everywhere for a way to replace the meridians. It was said that he succeeded in the end! "
The guild leader pondered for a moment before replying.
"The headquarters of Mingshi Tang? Who? "
Zhang Xuan asked anxiously.
Whether Zhao Ya could recover or not, they couldn't afford to be careless.
"Grand Elder Yang Xuan!"
The president nodded.
"Yang Xuan?"
Zhang Xuan was stunned.
He had impersonated the grand elder and claimed to be his student, but who could have known that the other party had done all of this in the past … Did he really have to take the initiative to look for the other party?
"Indeed. Putting aside the fact that Yang shi is a highly talented individual, more importantly, he has a deep understanding of the various occupations. Due to the matter of meridian replacement, he once consulted the head of the Blacksmith Guild and the guild leader of the headquarters for many years, and it is said that he has succeeded... Of course, this is just hearsay. As for the exact details, we will have to ask the person in question first!"
The president said.
"Oh …"
Zhang Xuan rubbed his forehead. "Looks like I'll have to look for Master Yang!"
Yang shi should still be in the Zhang family, so he would probably have to pay a visit to the Zhang family first.
However, if he were to impersonate the other party's student and impersonate the other party, causing a huge uproar in the world, wouldn't he be directly suppressed if he went to look for the other party?
If he were to face First Elder Zhang Wuheng, he might still be able to escape. However, if Yang shi were to make a move on him, even if he were to use all of his means, it would still be futile.
"Yang shi? Yang Xuan?"
By the side, Zhao Ya felt her head spinning as she listened to the conversation.
After seeing Yang shi transform into her teacher, she could already tell that the founder was a fake. Yet, another person had suddenly appeared … Just what in the world was going on?
"Yang shi rarely returns to Mingshi Tang's headquarters, so it will be difficult to find him. However, if your student's condition is urgent, Physician Huang from the Physician Guild is a good friend of mine. I can get him to treat your student …"
Seeing that the young man before him was deep in thought, the guild leader thought that the young man was worried about his student's condition.
"Guild leader, thank you for your goodwill, but there's no need for that at the moment …"
Zhang Xuan clasped his fist. Just as he was about to continue speaking, a blacksmith suddenly rushed in and said, "Guild leader, there's a master teacher outside who wishes to meet you."
"Master teacher? How many stars? Who is it? "
The guild leader asked.
The blacksmith hesitated for a moment before replying, "He doesn't have his emblem on, so I'm not too sure what his rank is, but … I think his surname is Yang!"
"His surname is Yang?"
The guild leader pondered for a moment, but he was still unable to think of any formidable master teacher in the Empire Alliance who had the surname Yang. Nevertheless, he still nodded and said, "Invite him in!"
"Yes!"
The blacksmith turned around and walked out of the room.
"Since you have a guest, I'll be taking my leave then …"
Knowing that Yang shi might be able to repair his meridians, Zhang Xuan knew that there was no point in staying here any longer. Thus, he clasped his fist and bade farewell to Zhao Ya. Barely after he turned around, he heard footsteps behind him. Following which, the blacksmith from before walked in with an elder.
"Young friend, why are you leaving so soon after arriving?"
The elder asked with a smile.
"Me?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Why would the other party come to look for the guild leader and say such words to him?
"Indeed! Rather than paying a visit to the guild leader, it would be more accurate to say that I'm here for you! "
The elder said with a smile as he stroked his beard.
"For me?"
Zhang Xuan frowned in bewilderment.
The elder before him looked extremely ordinary. Even though he was dressed in a master teacher robe, he didn't have an emblem on his emblem, so it was impossible to tell his rank.
However, he was certain that he had never met him before.
"Do we know each other?"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Zhang Xuan asked.
"Hehe!"
Instead of replying, the elder chuckled softly. Turning to the guild leader and Blacksmith Chen Mo, he said, "Masters, I have some matters that I would like to discuss with this young friend over here in private. May I know if you can do me a favor?"
After which, he flicked his finger, and an emblem with nine dazzling stars appeared before the duo.
"Nine Stars Blacksmith?"
Upon seeing the emblem, the guild leader and Chen Mo leaped in shock. They hurriedly clasped their fists and replied, "Yes!"
They had thought that the other party would take out a master teacher emblem since he was a master teacher, but who could have thought that he would be a Nine Stars Blacksmith? Just this fact alone made it hard for them to turn him down.
Hualala!
The duo quickly backed out of the room, and soon, only Zhang Xuan, Zhao Ya, and the peculiar elder were left in the room.
"Wu Zhangxuan, I am Zhang Xuan. The pseudonym you gave me doesn't seem sincere at all …"
Seeing that there was no one in the room, the elder chuckled softly. "Isn't that so, Zhang Shi? Or should I address you as … Sanctum Head Zhang? "
"You …"
Not expecting the other party to be able to see through his background so easily, Zhang Xuan's eyes narrowed in shock. A thought suddenly struck him, and goosebumps rose all over his body. He immediately linked his consciousness to his clone, prepared to flee at any moment. "You are a master teacher, and your surname is Yang … Could you be …"
"Hehe, I am …"
Stroking his beard once more, the elder looked at Zhang Xuan with a smile. "I am the person you are impersonating as … Yang Xuan!"
