"Eldest senior?"
The mouths of the three master teachers twitched, and their bodies swayed.
This change was way too fast.
They were intending to accept the other party as their apprentice, but in the blink of an eye, the other party had become their eldest senior.
To address a fellow who wasn't even twenty as their eldest senior?
The three master teachers felt light-headed. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't help but feel that it was a little bizarre.
However, the bizarre expression on their faces disappeared in an instant, replaced by agitation and excitement.
"Does Yang shi mean that... he is willing to accept us?"
Liu Ling came to a realization and trembled in agitation. His face, which could squeeze a mosquito to death, was filled with wrinkles, making him look like a chrysanthemum.
Yang shi wanted them to address Zhang Xuan as their eldest senior. Wasn't that equivalent to accepting them as his students?
"Thank you, Yang shi!"
Zhuang Xian and Zheng Fei were even more direct. They immediately kneeled on the floor and kowtowed.
Even though the other party didn't say it explicitly, his attitude showed that he didn't object to it. If they didn't make a move, wouldn't they cry themselves to death?
"These two fellows..."
Seeing that his old friend had acted so quickly, Liu Ling hurriedly followed and kowtowed.
Without turning back, Zhang Xuan said calmly, "Become my disciple, and I will help you raise your cultivation. However, I am used to living a carefree life, and I won't be staying here for too long. Even though Zhang Xuan has received my direct teachings, he is still too young and his cultivation is too shallow. I will need you to take care of him for a while. "
"Teacher, rest assured. Since we have joined the sect, we will naturally abide by the rules. Zhang Xuan is our eldest senior, and as long as it is within our capabilities, we will do our best."
Liu Ling and the others expressed their stance.
Master teachers had to abide by certain rules when accepting disciples.
Personal disciples were considered to be of a higher rank. In other words, no matter how young a personal disciple was, he would be the senior of a teacher. Even though it sounded weird, there were plenty of such situations in Mingshi Tang.
Since they had decided to become Yang shi's disciple, they had to abide by the rules. Zhang Xuan was the senior, and as his junior, he wouldn't be stingy with his help.
"Un, let's begin."
After confirming their master-disciple relationship, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Yes!"
Knowing that Yang shi was intending to offer them pointers, the three of them stood up excitedly. In an instant, a gust of wind blew in the room, and the three of them began executing their battle techniques.
After an unknown period of time, the trio clasped their fists and bade farewell. Even though their cultivation was still at Half-Zongshi, there was an irrepressible excitement on their faces.
In fact, Zhang Xuan could help the three of them break through directly. However, once he did that, his pure zhenqi would be exposed. Even if his cultivation was not high, he would still be exposed. It was a small matter if he could not become an expert, but trouble would definitely follow.
After thinking about it, he only pointed out the flaws in their cultivation.
In his words, pointing out the flaws and finding a way to break through was also a test for them. As a 1-star great teacher, Zhang Xuan knew all of this. If Zhang Xuan was still unable to achieve a breakthrough, it would mean that there was a problem with his talent. He was considering whether he should take Zhang Xuan in as his student.
Upon hearing those words, how could the three master teachers dare to say anything else? They carefully memorized the flaws Zhang Xuan had pointed out, fearing that they would make a mistake.
However, with their knowledge and understanding of cultivation, it was only a matter of time before they broke through to the next realm.
"Old master, Emperor Shen Zhui is waiting outside."
After making arrangements for the three master teachers, Zhang Xuan was just about to rest when Sun Qiang walked up to him.
"He's here? Could it be... "Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up." Let him in! "
"Yang shi!"
Not too long later, Emperor Shen Zhui walked in. He clasped his fist and bowed. Looking at the middle-aged man before him, his eyes were filled with passion and admiration.
Even though the old ancestor was on the verge of death, he was able to save him and even achieve a breakthrough. Even a 2-star master teacher would find it hard to accomplish such a feat.
Perhaps... the person before him was a 3-star master teacher, or perhaps even higher.
Putting aside the fact that he was the king of an Unranked Kingdom, even the emperor of a Tier 1 Kingdom wouldn't be able to meet such a person easily.
"Reporting to Yang shi, I have gathered most of the Tongxuan realm secret manuals you asked me to find..."
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
The condition for treating Shen Hong was for him to gather books. It had been a few days, and given the influence of the royal family, it shouldn't be difficult for him to gather several thousand books.
"Yang shi, please take a look!"
With a flick of his palm, several thousand books were placed neatly before him, forming a huge pile.
It seemed like the other party knew that he needed them, so he brought them all over.
"Un!"
Casually picking up a few books, Zhang Xuan swiftly flipped through them. After which, he put them down and continued flipping through them.
Initially, Emperor Shen Zhui was perplexed as to why such a formidable master teacher would want Tongxuan realm secret manuals. However, upon seeing this sight, he was even more perplexed.
If he were to flip through them, he could understand it as studying them. Yet, this person didn't even flip through them and instead, used his hands to pull them aside... What was he doing?
Even though he was perplexed, he didn't dare to say anything. Thus, he stood obediently on the spot.
Hualala, hualala!
Zhang Xuan didn't stop to rest. In just a moment, he finished flipping through the several thousand secret manuals.
Even though these secret manuals were extremely ordinary among the Tongxuan realm cultivation technique manuals, there was a huge amount of them. To Zhang Xuan, who possessed the Library of Heaven's Path, it couldn't be any better.
"Compile!"
With a jolt of his mind, a book appeared in his mind.
Tongxuan realm Heaven's Path Divine Art!
"Alright, you can take them away!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands casually.
The Library of Heaven's Path had already recorded all of these books.
"This..."
Emperor Shen Zhui was taken aback.
He had paid a hefty price to gather these secret manuals. He thought that Yang shi would at least flip through them once, but in the end, he just casually flipped through them...
"Could it be that these secret manuals are too crude and unsightly? If that's the case, I can look for more... "
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask.
"There's no need for that. I have already finished reading these books, so I can take them back." Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Finished... Finished reading?"
Emperor Shen Zhui nearly fell to the ground.
You... You... What did you read?
You just casually flipped through these books... Do your eyes grow on your hands?
"Yes!"
Emperor Shen Zhui felt so stifled that he wanted to vomit blood. However, he didn't dare to ask any further. Instead, he kept the books on the floor into his storage ring before clasping his hands. "Then, I'll be taking my leave..."
"Un!" Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
After leaving the residence, Zhang Xuan returned straight to the royal palace.
"You passed the books to Yang shi?"
Royal Elder Shen Hong walked up to him.
"I did, but... he didn't want them, so... he took them back!" Emperor Shen Zhui still had a bizarre expression on his face.
"He took them back? Is Yang shi dissatisfied? "
"That's not it..."
"Then, has he finished reading them?"
"He didn't read them either..."
"He didn't read them? Then what did he want those books for? "Shen Hong was confused.
"He... he just... plucked them a little..."
"Plucked?"
Shen Hong blinked his eyes.
I can understand if you want a few beauties to pluck them a little, but why would you pluck a few books?
"We really don't understand the actions of experts..."
After a long while, the duo came to a conclusion with flushed faces.
......
After Emperor Shen Zhui left, Zhang Xuan informed Sun Qiang that he wasn't going to meet him before returning to his room.
"Cultivate!"
Flipping open the newly formed 7-dan Heaven's Path Divine Art, Zhang Xuan began reading through it.
"Opening the acupoints, connecting the meridians in the body, allowing zhenqi to flow freely. This is the Tongxuan realm..."
Lines of words appeared in his mind.
After collecting thousands of secret manuals, the Heaven's Path Divine Art that was formed was the same as the previous one. Zhang Xuan read through it while cultivating.
Pure zhenqi circulated in his body according to the unique cultivation method recorded in the manual.
Boom!
With just a single circulation, the bottleneck of Pixue realm was broken in an instant. Immense spiritual energy from the world gushed into his body, and the zhenqi and strength in his body rose rapidly.
Tongxuan realm primary stage!
Tongxuan realm intermediate stage!
...
Not too long later, his strength returned to its peak, and his cultivation reached Tongxuan realm pinnacle!
"Along with the increase in my cultivation, my rate of improvement has indeed slowed..."
Sensing that his strength had reached its peak, and he was unable to advance any further, Zhang Xuan stopped.
Due to the fact that he had to deduce the acupoints one by one in Pixue realm, it took him a lot of time. However, when he was at Dingli realm, he cultivated the complete Heaven's Path Divine Art. Back then, he only took two hours, but now...
"Ten minutes more. Looks like the further I go, the more difficult it gets!"
Zhang Xuan sighed seriously.
If others were to know of his thoughts, they would probably strangle him to death.
Ten minutes more, and you call it getting harder?
For others to cultivate from Tongxuan realm primary stage to pinnacle, even if they were top-notch geniuses with the support of countless treasures, it would still be impossible for them to do so without ten years of hard work. Yet, you feel that your rate of cultivation has slowed down...
The heck, why don't you go and die!
"Let's see how much strength I have now..."
After sighing, Zhang Xuan walked up to the Strength Measuring Rock Pillar and punched it.
Weng!
A number slowly appeared.
"600 ding!"
Zhang Xuan's face lit up in delight.
When he was at Pixue realm pinnacle, he had opened 108 acupoints, increasing his strength by 108 ding. Adding the 20 ding from before, he had a total of 128 ding of zhenqi strength.
Now that he had broken through, his strength had increased by several folds.
A normal Tongxuan realm primary stage would possess 100 ding, intermediate stage 200 ding, advanced stage 300 ding, and pinnacle 400 ding.
600 ding was already comparable to a Half-Zongshi.
Zongshi realm experts possessed immense strength, and they could exert a strength of a thousand ding with a wave of their hand. Those who possessed strength between 400 ding to 1000 ding could be considered as Half-Zongshi.
600 ding, along with the 90 ding from his physical body, would be close to 700 ding of strength. Even among Half-Zongshi, he would be considered as one of the strongest.
"I should be able to protect myself now!"
With such immense strength, coupled with the fact that the Library of Heaven's Path was able to see through his flaws, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Ever since he discovered the poison aura in his body, the shadow of someone trying to kill him had been lingering in his mind.
Without strength, even if the other party wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be able to retaliate. Only now that his strength was comparable to that of a Half-Zongshi did he calm down slightly.
After reinforcing his cultivation and adapting to the strength he had just obtained, he walked out of the room.
Unknowingly, a night had passed. Outside, the sun slowly rose from the east, and its rays shone down on the surroundings, creating a serene atmosphere.
"The sky has actually brightened..."
Looking at the rising sun, Zhang Xuan knew that the Freshmen Tournament, the Teacher Evaluation, which he had waited half a month for...
It was finally here!
