In other words, this black gas did not belong to any poison that he knew of.
What was that thing?
"Let's see if we can force it out of the body!"
With a grim look in his eyes, Zhang Xuan drove the zhenqi in his body.
Even though Zhang Xuan didn't know how dangerous the poisonous gas was, it would only be a matter of time before it was left in his body. It was one thing that he hadn't noticed it before, but now that he knew about it, he had to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, anyone would feel uncomfortable if a knife was placed in their heart.
Using zhenqi to expel poison was recorded in a book, and it wasn't difficult to learn. With just a thought, Zhang Xuan had already mastered it.
Gu, gu, gu!
Seeing the surge of zhenqi, the black aura seemed to have met its nemesis. With a slight sway, it dived into the meridians and hid itself.
"No …"
Zhang Xuan's expression darkened.
The poison gas was simply too powerful. It was actually able to evade the encirclement of zhenqi. At this moment, it had only entered the meridians, which was not a problem. However, if it were to go berserk and enter the vital parts of one's body, one would most likely be poisoned to death on the spot.
To be able to evade true energy, it was as if it had intelligence. What kind of poison was this?
And when did he get hit?
Even after searching through the books on poison in the Library of Heaven's Path, there wasn't a single record of this poison. This means that this poison is of a higher tier than Tianxuan Kingdom!
Poison gas of this level … was actually found in his own body.
Zhang Xuan was getting more and more confused.
He tried all sorts of detoxification methods, but none of them worked, so he could only give up for now.
From the looks of it, the black aura was extremely fearful of his zhenqi and didn't dare to cause any trouble for the time being. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to survive for so long without being noticed.
However, although there was no danger to his life for the time being, how he was poisoned was a big problem. It was fine if it was unintentional, but if he was poisoned by someone and didn't know it, that would be terrible.
Since the first attack had failed, the other party would definitely try again.
I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves remembering!
"Let's first determine if it was done before or after his rebirth, and if it was done intentionally or unintentionally. This way, we can be prepared in advance!"
Alarmed, Zhang Xuan turned his attention back to the black aura, but after studying it for a very long time, he was still unable to figure out anything at all.
It wasn't that he was stupid, but... the poison was simply too advanced, far beyond the comprehension of Tianxuan Kingdom. As such, he wasn't even able to discern the slightest trace of it, needless to say, figure out when he was poisoned and what it was.
"Try the Library of Heaven's Path!"
Just as he was about to give up, a thought flashed through his mind.
Just because he couldn't figure it out, it didn't mean that the library was powerless!
The Library of Heaven's Path required one to touch it with one's fingers or the other party to execute a punching routine in order to form a book. The poison gas was hidden in the meridians, so it was impossible for one to touch it with one's fingers. To have it execute a punching routine... Cough cough, that was even more of a dream.
However, confirming some simple questions was not a problem for Zhang Xuan.
Taking out a blank book, he picked up a brush and wrote, "The poison in my body is a result of my rebirth. Someone framed me!"
Zhang Xuan swiped his finger across it, and an identical book immediately appeared in his mind.
He casually flipped it open, and sure enough, there was a flaw in this sentence.
After reading the content, his face turned livid.
According to the feedback from the Library of Heaven's Path, he had been poisoned before his rebirth. It was not an accident, but someone had done something to him!
In other words … someone wanted to kill him.
"Could it be … that my predecessor didn't die of depression from drinking, but … from this poison?"
He had been wondering whether his previous self was too weak. Despite being a Zhenqi realm pinnacle expert, he could still drink himself to death. However, from the looks of it now, that wasn't the case at all.
As soon as he thought of it, he wrote down all kinds of conjectures in the book.
After an unknown period of time, Zhang Xuan finally came to a halt.
After half a day of conjecture, he had a rough idea of the situation.
His previous self was indeed poisoned to death. That was also the reason why he was able to transcend into another world.
The reason why he was fine after his rebirth was because the Heaven's Path zhenqi he cultivated was too pure. The poison aura was innately fearful of it, suppressing it to the point that it was unable to move. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to survive until now.
In other words, it was thanks to his diligence that he was able to survive. Otherwise, if he were to run out of zhenqi, the poison aura would immediately turn on him and poison him to death.
"Yet another mess left behind by my previous self …"
Initially, he thought that he would be able to live freely after dealing with the Teacher Qualification Examination. However, he realized that he had been overthinking things.
As long as he didn't deal with the poison aura completely, he would always be in danger.
"I have to find the person who wanted to kill me."
The person who wanted to kill him had hidden himself, making it impossible for him to find him. However, if the other party dared to make a move against him again, with the help of the Library of Heaven's Path, he would definitely be able to find all eight generations of his ancestors.
Therefore, there was no need to fear him. He was just puzzled.
His previous self was an orphan, and he didn't even have any relatives. Furthermore, he was a wastrel, and he didn't offend anyone. Who in the world could use a poison that even Tianxuan Kingdom didn't possess to kill him?
To be able to find such a poison, his strength was definitely not simple. After spending so much effort, why didn't he just kill him with a single slap?
Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
After thinking for a while, Zhang Xuan couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. The person who poisoned him hadn't appeared yet, so there was no point in thinking about it. He could only think of a way to solve the problem in his body first.
"To neutralize the poison, I must first understand what kind of poison it is. There are too few books on poison in Tianxuan Kingdom. Looks like I'll have to go to a place with more books..."
With the Library of Heaven's Path, as long as he had enough books on poison, he would be able to cure it himself.
However, these books weren't easy to find. Zhang Xuan had already browsed through the royal family's Book Collection Vault, but he didn't find anything at all. Needless to say, he didn't even need to look through the books in other places to know that they weren't there either.
After all, this poison was too advanced, so advanced that it was impossible to find it in Tianxuan Kingdom.
If there was no poison, how could there be a solution?
To truly resolve the problem, he would have to go to a higher tier kingdom to find a place with more books on poison.
"I should ask the three master teachers about it..."
He didn't know much about such places, but the three master teachers might know a thing or two.
They came from a higher tier kingdom, and they had traveled extensively. They would definitely know more than him.
"There's no hurry, let's settle the matter here first."
In any case, with the suppression of the Heaven's Path zhenqi, the black aura wouldn't dare to do anything for the time being. Thus, Zhang Xuan could only shake his head and stretch his back before continuing to solve the problem left behind by his scam.
......
"Liu Shi, why are we changing?"
The three master teachers were walking along the streets of Hongtian Academy. Looking at the casual attire they were wearing, Zheng Fei couldn't help but ask.
Usually, they wore the robes unique to master teachers, and no matter where they went, they would be respected by others. Thus, they weren't used to wearing the clothes of an ordinary person.
"The master teacher robe is too eye-catching. If we were to wear it, Zhang Xuan laoshi would definitely rush over and listen to his words respectfully. If that were to happen, how would we be able to see through his true character?"
Liu Ling said.
"Indeed, it would be good to change into casual attire. No one would be able to recognize us, and it would be a good test of our character!" Zhuang Xian nodded his head.
Zheng Fei came to a realization.
If they were to change into the clothes of an ordinary person and suppress their cultivation, no one would be able to guess that they were master teachers. Instead, they would think that they were ordinary elders.
Only under such circumstances would they be able to see the truth.
Asking around, it didn't take them long to find Zhang Xuan's classroom.
"Isn't this classroom a little too small!"
Looking at the state of the classroom, Liu Ling and the others frowned.
They had seen the scale of Hongtian Academy for themselves. Even the classroom used by the most ordinary teacher would be several hundred square meters in size. Yet, the classroom before them wasn't even a hundred square meters. Regardless of whether it was the architecture or the decorations, it was extremely crude.
With a single look, it was clear that it was the worst kind.
"Seems like Miss Zhang's treatment in the academy isn't that great!"
It was a wonder how Miss Zhang could tolerate such a poor teaching environment. If they were in her shoes, they would have long thrown a tantrum in the academy and stormed out.
"To be able to maintain her composure in such an environment, to be able to remain calm and unperturbed, it seems like she has already forgotten the feelings of respect and humiliation. Truly admirable."
Liu Ling sighed.
Despite being treated unfairly, she didn't utter a single word of complaint. Instead, she didn't patronize her students because of it. Just this kind of indifference is truly admirable.
"Cousin Wang Tao, I am still unable to understand what Miss Zhang is talking about on the convergence of qi. Can you explain it to me once more?"
Walking a few steps into the classroom, before entering the classroom, they heard a questioning voice coming from the lawn in front of the classroom.
The trio halted their footsteps.
"Alright. However, regarding this part, Miss Zhang's explanation is extremely profound. Even I have only managed to comprehend less than a tenth of it. How about this, while Miss Zhang is explaining, I will take notes and we can study it together!" The senior named Wang Tao hesitated for a moment before saying.
"That's great!" The first voice was filled with excitement.
"Look, this is what Miss Zhang said. In Juxi realm, the convergence of qi means to treat the spiritual energy in the world as a part of one's body instead of absorbing it forcefully. This way, the spiritual energy will treat the person as a vessel, thus increasing the rate at which spiritual energy is gathered. Back then, Miss Zhang mentioned ten methods, but I only remembered three of them. We can study them together. Look at the first one..."
Wang Tao's voice sounded right after.
"Treat the spiritual energy in the world as a part of one's body?"
Hearing the conversation between the duo, the three master teachers were taken aback. Astonishment appeared on their faces.
"I have heard of this theory from my teacher as well... This Zhang Xuan laoshi's explanation is actually so profound?"
Liu Ling's mouth was agape.
As master teachers, they stood at the pinnacle of the teaching profession. Naturally, they were well-versed in the art of imparting knowledge. They were also able to tell which of her explanations were correct and which were incorrect.
Even though they hadn't heard the lecture, just from the conversation between the two students, they could tell that Miss Zhang's theory was not only novel, it was extremely accurate as well. It pointed straight to the core of cultivation.
Even for them, it was hard for them to impart a lecture of this level.
The two people in front of him discussed more and more. The theories they talked about weren't very profound, but they were incisive and incisive, like a vast ocean. The more he listened, the more helpful it would be for his cultivation, and he would benefit greatly from it.
The more the three master teachers listened, the more astonished they became. Their bodies trembled in agitation and they stood rooted to the spot, unable to move.
