Only a grade-8 apothecary is capable of forging a grade-8 pill. Every single one of them is invaluable. Putting everything aside, if one were to gift such a pill to the emperor of Tianxuan Kingdom, he would surely be willing to give up his throne and gift it to someone else.
Such a precious pill... Yet, he gave it to someone else just like that...
Feeling the powerful aura flowing through his body and his undamaged right leg, Mo Xiao felt as though he was dreaming. "Yang Zi, this is too precious, I can't accept it..."
He thought that it was just a recovery pill. Never in his dreams would he have thought that it was a grade-8 pill!
If only he knew that it was so precious, he would have never eaten it!
"There's no need to stand on ceremony. It's just a pill. Our relationship means nothing in front of this!"
With a light chuckle, Zheng Yang patted his good friend's shoulder.
Even though the two of them had different worldviews and were unable to communicate properly, their friendship was still there. They were still the best of friends, the childhood friend whom they had practiced together.
"Mo Xiao, this friend of yours is..."
Realizing how fearsome Zheng Yang was, Lu Xun hurriedly walked up to him with respect in his eyes.
To be able to take out a grade-8 pill and gift it to someone else so casually... The other party's identity and background weren't something that a 2-star master teacher like him could match up to.
"Teacher, he is..."
Seeing that his teacher didn't recognize his good friend, Mo Xiao was perplexed. Just as he was about to introduce the other party, a telepathic message sounded in his ears, "Let's not talk about my identity. Back then, I didn't get along well with Lu laoshi..."
Mo Xiao stopped.
Due to Lu Xun laoshi insulting Zhang Shi, this good friend of his had colluded with Zhao Ya and the others to beat up Lu laoshi in public. As a result, their relationship was a little tense.
"He is a friend whom I met by chance. To think that... he would have such a precious pill!"
Coming to a realization, Mo Xiao hurriedly said.
"Un!"
Seeing that his student was lying, Lu Xun didn't probe any further. Instead, he glanced at Zhang Xuan and the others and nodded his head in contemplation.
"The pill can raise your cultivation, but you still need to reinforce it carefully before you can utilize it freely. I won't disturb you any longer. We'll meet again in the future!"
After seeing his good friend and Lu laoshi, Zheng Yang knew that there was no point in staying here any longer. Thus, he turned around and left with Zhang Xuan and the others.
At this point, how could the crowd not know that these people were no ordinary people? This was especially so for the young lady. She hurriedly chased after them, hoping to find the fortuitous encounter that she had missed out on. However, she had barely taken a few steps when her vision blurred, and the figures disappeared, as if they had never been there in the first place.
Everything that had happened before felt like a dream. Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Xuan was unable to recall the other party's appearance, let alone his physique.
"Wah!" He cried out loudly and started to cry.
He had completely missed such a fortuitous opportunity, and he really wished for nothing more than to dig his eyeballs out.
"It should be … Zhang Shi and Zheng Yang!"
Unlike the young lady and the others, Lu Xun sent a telepathic message to his students.
"Teacher …"
Mo Xiao blushed.
It could be seen that his good brother didn't want to reveal his identity, but he didn't want to hide it from his teacher either.
"I won't make things difficult for you … The reason why I was able to tell is because other than him, I can't think of anyone else who would come here and give you a grade-8 pill so casually!"
Lu Xun smiled bitterly. "Cherish this friend of yours well. To be able to get to know such a person is the greatest fortune of your life!"
After becoming a 2-star master teacher, Lu Xun had come into contact with some secrets. Only then did he learn of the dazzling life that Miss Zhang, whom he had sparred with back then, had gone through after leaving Tianxuan Kingdom and the incredible deeds that she had done.
Even though he was a genius, compared to the other party … he felt that he was no different from an earthworm in a swamp, and the other party was a divine dragon that soared through the nine heavens …
"Since teacher knows … then you should also know that Yangzi isn't a Zhizun realm cultivator, but … a higher realm!"
Seeing that his teacher knew of the matter, Mo Xiao knew that there was no point in hiding it. Thus, he couldn't suppress his curiosity any longer.
Initially, he thought that his good friend had already reached Zongshi realm, but when he stabbed his spear into the other party's eye, the other party wasn't injured in the slightest. On the other hand, he was severely injured, so he thought that the other party might have reached Zhizun realm.
Later on, after consuming a pill, his cultivation reached Transcendent Mortal 2-dan Origin Energy realm, but he was still unable to see through the other party's cultivation. Only then did he realize that the other party whom he had grown up with had already reached a level that even his teacher had to look up to.
"His cultivation realm … isn't something that we are qualified to know. You just need to know that if your good friend had retaliated, the entire Tianxuan Kingdom would have vanished …"
Lu Xun said helplessly.
"Tianxuan Kingdom would vanish?"
Mo Xiao's mouth widened in shock, unable to say a word.
…
After leaving Lu Xun's lecture hall, the group returned to the classroom where they studied back then.
It was the same as before, and it was still a little cramped.
"You should go and meet your kin!"
Walking into the room, Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Un!"
The group nodded, and Wang Ying, Zhao Ya, and the others flew out.
Wang Ying's clan was one of the Four Great Clans of Tianxuan Royal City. His elder brother, father, and the others were all present, and Zhao Ya's father was the city lord of Baiyu City. Naturally, they had to pay him a visit now that they had returned.
As for Wei Ruyan and Lu Chong, they had already lost their kin, so they had nothing to worry about.
"Junior Ruyan, can you … accompany me for a moment?"
Seeing that Zhao Ya and the others had left, Zheng Yang hesitated for a moment before asking.
"What do you want to do?" Wei Ruyan frowned.
Even though she didn't cultivate an ice-attribute cultivation technique, she had always been a cold person. As such, she rarely interacted with her fellow disciples.
Even though she was familiar with Zheng Yang, they hadn't spoken much to one another.
"I wish to … ask you to do me a favor … This can be considered as a knot in my heart!"
After a moment of hesitation, Zheng Yang said.
"Alright!"
Wei Ruyan agreed.
Her teacher had always taught her that fellow disciples had to look out for one another. Since he had a request for her, there was no harm in agreeing to it.
"I wish to bring you to meet someone …"
"Meet someone?" Wei Ruyan was perplexed.
She had a cold personality, and other than her teacher, she didn't wish to meet anyone. It wasn't as if the other party didn't know that. Yet, he actually had such a request?
"You don't have to speak. You just have to stand on the spot …"
Seeing the other party's expression, Zheng Yang felt awkward.
"Who is it? If he's strong enough, you can report it to teacher … "
Seeing his expression, Wei Ruyan said.
"He's not strong, on the contrary, he's extremely weak …"
After a moment of hesitation, Zheng Yang gritted his teeth and said, "To tell you the truth … Before I acknowledged my teacher, I once had a crush on a girl, and I gave my heart to her. However, I was mocked and rejected … Now that I'm back, I would like to meet her once more. Even though I no longer have feelings for her, I would like to put a full stop to this relationship of mine …"
"So, you want me to pretend to be your girlfriend?"
Wei Ruyan sneered coldly.
This senior of hers was already the head of the Combat Master Hall, an Ancient Sage expert. Who would have thought that he would still be such a noob when it came to relationships?
If the other party rejected him, he would find an even prettier girl to pretend to be his girlfriend so that the other party would regret it?
What a child!
Immature to the extreme!
If it was her … she would have just poisoned the other party to death if she disagreed. That would have been much easier.
