"Even though the secret manual is real, the most important part of it has been destroyed by someone. It is incomplete, which is why you are in your current state!" Zhang Xuan changed the topic. "Alright, I will perform acupuncture on you now to resolve the problem in your body!"
"Yes!" Du Miaoxuan hurriedly stepped forward.
Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and took out a silver needle. With a flick of his finger, a silver needle flew over.
The Library of Heaven's Path only had a basic introduction and flaws. There was no solution to it. However, Du Miaoxuan's problem was similar to that of Ling Tianyu's wife. His meridians were blocked, causing the blood of the Snow Wolf Beast to be unable to function normally.
To resolve this problem, he just had to resolve these blockages.
To Zhang Xuan, this problem was extremely simple. The zhenqi cultivated through the Heaven's Path Divine Art was as clear as water. Any blockage could be resolved easily.
Hu hu hu hu!
Dozens of silver needles were inserted into his body.
Du Miaoxuan felt his entire body itching. The bestial instincts that had been suppressing his body previously, causing him to go into a frenzy, suddenly seemed to have been released. They flowed through his meridians and spread throughout his entire body.
Geji! Geji!
The moment these energies entered his body, the zhenqi in his body surged. A series of firecracker-like sounds rang out and his acupoints burst open one after another.
Pah pah pah pah!
Spiritual energy descended from the sky and gushed into his body. In the blink of an eye, he broke through from Dingli realm pinnacle.
Pixue realm primary stage!
Pixue realm intermediate stage...
...
In the blink of an eye, he had reached Pixue realm pinnacle, and he showed no signs of stopping.
Boom!
His body staggered. Finally, the rapid rise in his cultivation came to a halt. The bestial instincts that had caused him to feel uneasy had disappeared without a trace.
Fighter 7-dan, Tongxuan realm primary stage!
In an instant, he had broken through from Dingli realm pinnacle to Tongxuan realm. That was more than an entire realm.
"I..."
Looking at the changes in his body, even with his strong will, his eyes reddened.
For an entire ten years, he had been tormented by this pain. Every day, he would become like a wild beast, and his body would be covered in white fur. He thought that he would never be able to resolve this problem in his lifetime. Never in his dreams did he expect that Yang shi would resolve it in such a short period of time. Furthermore... he even managed to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation!
Thump!
Kneeling on the floor, Du Miaoxuan said sincerely, "Thank you, Yang shi, for giving me a new lease on life..."
Not only did the other party resolve his affliction, he even raised his cultivation to Tongxuan realm. This kind of favor could be considered as giving him a new lease of life, comparable to that of a parent.
Now that he had returned to the clan, he would definitely be ranked at the top, and no one would look down on him anymore.
With such an outcome, not to mention a day, even kneeling for a year was worth it.
"Aren't you going to take it out?"
Calming his agitated emotions, Du Miaoxuan turned to look at his son.
"Yes!" Du Yuan quickly took out a stack of gold notes and handed it over.
Initially, Du Yuan thought that his father must have gone mad to kneel outside the door and take out so many gold notes at once. Only now did he realize that not only was his father not mad, but he also had good foresight.
Tongxuan realm...
So what if he lost ten years of time? With Father's current strength, if he wanted to compete for the position of Patriarch again, he would definitely be the number one candidate. No one would be able to compete with him.
Furthermore, even if he couldn't become the clan head, with his Tongxuan realm cultivation, it would be much easier for him to earn a few million gold coins.
"This is the ability of a master teacher..."
To be able to bring one to the pinnacle easily, and to be able to bring one to hell easily as well. This is what it means to be a master teacher, an incomparably esteemed occupation in the entire continent!
Just as Du Miaoxuan was deep in thought, Sun Qiang walked up, took the gold notes, and beckoned, "Elder Du, Du gongzi, please leave. Our old master wishes to rest!"
"Yes, I will be troubling Yang shi today. I will pay a visit another day!"
Knowing that the other party was asking them to leave, Du Miaoxuan didn't hesitate and left with Du Yuan.
Just as they reached the door, Zhang Xuan's impassive voice sounded in their ears, "A few pages of the Snow Wolf King's secret manual are missing. Whether it was intentional or not, we can find out soon enough!"
"This..." Du Miaoxuan's body froze. He turned around and said, "Thank you, Yang shi, for your advice..."
After which, he turned around and left.
Back then, Du Miaoxuan possessed the qualifications to vie for the position of clan head. Yet, under such circumstances, he suddenly chose to cultivate a dangerous cultivation technique in an attempt to reach Tongxuan realm. No one would believe that there was no other reason behind his actions.
Thus, Zhang Xuan intentionally gave him a word of advice before he left. Of course, what he would do in the future was up to him.
… … …
"Du Miaoxuan fell seriously ill ten years ago, causing his cultivation to plummet. As such, he was unable to vie for the position of clan head... Most likely, the reason why he is kneeling here is to beg this master teacher to resolve his illness!"
Guarding outside, Luo Chong recalled the various matters regarding Du Miaoxuan and couldn't help but speculate.
"If Du Miaoxuan's problem can be resolved, my problem should be resolved as well..."
Du Miaoxuan's illness was one which even Master Yuanyu was helpless against back then. Even though Luo Chong didn't know the exact details, he knew that he had sought countless physicians over the years, but none of them were able to do anything about it.
Since this master teacher was able to resolve such a difficult problem, it shouldn't be difficult for him to resolve his sudden inability to focus on smithing!
Just as Luo Chong was deep in thought, 'jiya', the tightly shut door slowly opened. Du Miaoxuan, Du Yuan, and the others walked out.
"I wonder if his problem has been solved …"
Luo Chong hurriedly turned his gaze over, but just as he was feeling uncertain, his eyes suddenly widened and his entire body froze on the spot. "Tongxuan realm? This … this … how is this possible? "
Previously, when Du Miaoxuan entered, he clearly saw that the other party was at Fighter 5-dan Dingli realm pinnacle. How could... in less than ten minutes after entering, he had already reached Tongxuan realm?
Most importantly, he was in high spirits, completely different from before.
What was going on?
It couldn't be true, right?
Even if a master teacher could guide one to achieve a breakthrough, there should be a limit...
To advance from Dingli realm pinnacle to Tongxuan realm in ten minutes...
Luo Chong rubbed his eyes hard, afraid that he was seeing things.
After taking another look, Zhang Xuan realized that... there was nothing wrong with the other party. The other party was a true Tongxuan realm cultivator. Furthermore, the other party had probably just achieved a breakthrough and was unable to suppress the aura within his body. This was the reason why the other party was so conspicuous. Otherwise, as long as an expert of this level didn't reveal his cultivation, even Zhang Xuan would find it hard to notice him.
"Farewell, Brother Sun!"
Amidst his shock, Du Miaoxuan bade farewell to Butler Sun and left.
"Let's go and ask …"
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan hurriedly chased after him.
"Elder Du …"
"So it's Master Luo!" Du Miaoxuan recognized him and hurriedly bowed.
"This residence is …"
Without wasting any time, Luo Chong asked.
"This is Yang shi's residence!"
Knowing what he wanted to ask, Du Miaoxuan nodded his head and replied.
"Is he really a master teacher?"
Luo Chong's eyes narrowed.
"Yang shi is a person of great ability. If Master Luo has any doubts, you can seek his guidance. However … Yang shi came to Tianxuan Kingdom to relax, so he doesn't wish to be disturbed …"
Du Miaoxuan said.
"He doesn't wish to be disturbed?" Luo Chong's complexion darkened.
Even though his standing wasn't low, he didn't dare to disturb a true master teacher.
"Actually, there's no need to be troubled. Yang shi just said that regardless of who it is, if anyone wishes to seek his help, they have to pay three million gold coins first. Regardless of whether the problem is solved or not, the money won't be refunded."
Recalling Butler Sun's instructions before he left, Du Miaoxuan continued, "As a master teacher, Yang shi doesn't care about these worldly possessions. The reason why he made such a request is to set a threshold. Otherwise, if everyone were to seek his guidance, he wouldn't be able to rest at all …"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. To earn three million gold coins just to enter the academy, master teachers are indeed master teachers. The speed at which they earn money is simply too fast.
After becoming an elder of the Du Clan for so many years, even if he were to add up all of his savings, it would only amount to this sum.
"That's true …"
Hearing that money could solve the problem, Luo Chong heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly nodded his head.
Even though three million was a huge sum, it meant nothing to a master blacksmith like him.
"Thank you for informing me. It just so happens that I have something that I would like to consult you on, so I'll be taking my leave first!" After which, Luo Chong walked towards the residence.
The decor of the residence wasn't luxurious at all. If not for Du Miaoxuan and the others confirming it, he wouldn't have dared to imagine that a true master teacher resided here.
After handing over three million gold notes, under Sun Qiang's lead, Luo Chong walked into the room. Immediately, he saw a middle-aged man sitting quietly in the room. His aura was indistinct and if not for his eyes, he wouldn't have been able to sense it.
"Incredible!"
Luo Chong's eyes narrowed.
Luo Chong is a Fighter 7-dan Tongxuan realm expert. For him to be unable to sense the other party's cultivation realm, there are only two possibilities. Firstly, the other party's cultivation realm is much higher than his. Secondly, the other party's zhenqi is extremely pure, far surpassing his.
Regardless of which of the two it is, it means that the master teacher before him is a true master teacher.
Retracting his arrogant attitude as a blacksmith, Luo Chong stepped forward and said, "I am Luo Chong. Paying respect to Yang shi!"
"Un, I heard from Xiao Qiang that you are a blacksmith?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
Blacksmiths are similar to apothecaries. They are one of the more advanced occupations in the Upper Nine Paths and possess esteemed standing. He didn't expect that such a person would come here to request his help.
"Yes!" Luo Chong nodded his head.
"What problem have you encountered that you are unable to solve?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Reporting to Yang shi, for some reason, I have been failing in my smithing recently and I am unable to find the reason. I hope to receive your guidance!" Luo Chong didn't hide anything and spoke frankly.
"Show me your smithing!" Zhang Xuan said.
"Yes!" Luo Chong flicked his wrist and a set of tools for smithing appeared in the room.
As a 1-star apothecary and the guild leader of the Apothecary Guild, he carries these tools with him at all times.
Starting a fire, forging, fusing metal, tempering...
All sorts of steps were executed consecutively, giving one the impression of flowing water.
An hour later, a sword appeared in his hands. However, just as the final step was about to be completed, a crisp sound echoed and a crack appeared on the sword.
Failure!
Just like what he said, the smithing was a failure.
Seeing how he couldn't even forge the simplest sword, Luo Chong was dismayed.
This sword was only an ordinary weapon and there was no technique involved in it. For it to fail, he really couldn't understand what was going on.
He couldn't help but raise his head to look at the master teacher before him. "Yang shi, please enlighten me!"
"You want me to enlighten you?"
Zhang Xuan stood up and walked up to the other party. Picking up the broken sword, he lowered his head to take a look and sighed, "If I'm not wrong..."
"You must have eaten your fill!"
