Initially, he thought that the other party's medical skills were far beneath his, but at this moment, he realized that the difference between his medical skills and the other party's was like the difference between a firefly and the sun.
It was a completely different concept.
"Since I admit defeat, does that mean I can get the right to use the Great Shift Teleportation Formation?"
Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course, but don't worry, I still can't admit it. I still need to report this matter, and then I can issue it to you. The token should be in your hands by this afternoon at the latest!"
Liao Xin explained.
Even though the young man before him had cleared the top thirty of a power's God King Potential Board of Potential God Kings and was superior to him in terms of medical skills, he still had to report the matter to the All-Heavens first. Only after the token was issued could he proceed with the teleportation.
"Alright!"
Zhang Xuan nodded before turning around and leaving with Qi Ling-er. He had already delayed for so long, so there was no point in wasting another half a day.
After they left, the room became quiet.
Liao Xin turned to Ao Hua and asked, "Ao Hua, did he really defeat you with his physical body?"
"Yes!" Ao Hua nodded.
"His physical body surpasses yours, his pill forging has even won Fu Jiangchen's admiration, and his medical skills are unparalleled. Even I am no match for him … The world sure is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons!"
Liao Xin sighed.
He had thought that he would be able to wreak havoc in the Sky of Drifting Specter and destroy the Physician Guild, thus establishing his immortal reputation. Yet, who could have known that he would suffer such a crushing defeat before he could even see the Physician Guild?
If he wasn't a match for him, the others wouldn't even need to think about it. They would only lose more.
Placing his hands behind his back, Liao Xin sighed deeply and said, "Let's return!"
"Are we not going to compete with the Royal City Physician Guild anymore?" Wang Fei was taken aback.
"As long as Physician Zhang is from the Sky of Drifting Specter, it won't be a glorious victory even if we defeat him. Rather than that, we might as well be generous!"
Liao Xin replied.
Their motive for coming to the Sky of Drifting Specter was simple — to raise the reputation of the Sky of Cloud Dragon's Physician Guild. However, it turned out that there would always be someone stronger than them. So what if the other party's Physician Guild did not have anyone stronger than them?
As long as this Zhang Xuan was here, they would still lose!
Rather than being so shameful, it was better to just let it go.
"Alright …"
Understanding this principle, everyone agreed at the same time.
…
Sky of Drifting Specter's Physician Guild.
"Congratulations, Physician Zhao Chong!"
After several rounds of physician duels, the final candidate in the list of five was finally decided — Physician Zhao Chong!
Even though he wasn't famous before, his medical skills were truly powerful. Everyone was impressed by his actions.
"Physician Zhao Chong is incredible, so naturally, the apothecary isn't a match for him!"
"That's right. I admit that this Zhang Xuan is good at concocting pills, but as for his medical skills … hehe!"
"It's fortunate that I didn't allow him to compete with me. Otherwise, I would have embarrassed myself greatly …"
Upon seeing Zhao Chong's performance, everyone recalled the arrogant Apothecary Zhang from before, and they burst into laughter.
What was the use of being good at alchemy? It wasn't as if a physician was competing in pill forging!
It was fortunate that they didn't send this fellow up. Otherwise, wouldn't they be mocking their Physician Guild for sending out all of their experts?
Just as they were feeling emotional, a middle-aged man rushed in.
President Sun Xuan frowned. "What's wrong?"
The middle-aged man quickly replied, "All of the physicians from the Sky of Cloud Dragon have left!"
"Gone? What does that mean? They're not going to compete anymore? "Guild Leader Sun Xuan was stunned.
Considering how the other party had rushed in with killing intent, why would they retreat before the duel had even begun?
"They said that …" The middle-aged man gulped down a mouthful of saliva. "Since they are inferior to the other party, they would only become a laughingstock if they stayed. Rather than being humiliated, it would be better for them to leave …"
"Inferior to the other party? What do they mean by that?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Wasn't the duel still ongoing?
Why did they suddenly become inferior to the other party?
"Just a moment ago, a physician from our Sky of Drifting Specter went to their residence and defeated Guild Leader Liao Xin with ease. That was the reason why they admitted defeat!"
The middle-aged man had already gathered quite a bit of information regarding the matter.
"Someone challenged and defeated Guild Leader Liao Xin?"
"Guild Leader Liao Xin's medical skills can be considered as one of the top in the Sky of Drifting Specter!"
"Indeed. His medical skills are unparalleled in the world. In any case, I'm still far from being able to match up to him …"
"To think that he would be defeated so easily by a physician …"
A commotion broke out amidst the crowd. Everyone stared at one another, and a moment later, a physician asked, "All of the registered physicians in Royal City are here, and none of them have left. Who was the one who defeated him?"
"I asked around earlier, and the name of that physician seems to be …"
After a moment of contemplation, the middle-aged man slapped his forehead and said, "His name is … Zhang Xuan!"
"Zhang Xuan?"
"The apothecary whom we chased away earlier?"
"We said that he isn't qualified to become a physician, but … he actually defeated Guild Leader Liao Xin in a medical duel?"
"This can't be real, right …"
Everyone was dumbfounded. They felt as if they had been slapped multiple times on their faces.
It was just a moment ago that an apothecary wanted to take the physician examination, but who could have thought that the other party's medical skills would actually far surpass theirs and defeat Guild Leader Liao Xin so easily?
Sun Xuan's lips twitched. If there was a hole in the ground right now, he would dive right in.
To think that the apothecary whom he didn't think highly of would actually possess such medical skills … It was a good opportunity for him to learn, but he had missed it just like that …
…
At this moment, Zhang Xuan was looking at an average-sized token on the table, and his eyes lit up in excitement. "Is this the token for the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation?"
It didn't even take long for someone to deliver the token to him.
The token was roughly the size of an infant's palm, and there were unique inscriptions inscribed on it. There was also a powerful will infused into it that struck fear in those who stared at it for too long.
"This inscription was personally inscribed by a God Monarch. It can withstand the spatial storms of the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation …"
Qi Ling-er explained with a hint of envy in her eyes.
Even though she was a core member of the Qi Clan and wielded great authority, she was still not qualified to obtain a token of this level.
With this token, it would only take her a few breaths to travel to the other Skies. As long as she had sufficient wealth, she would be able to roam freely within the Nine Skies.
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
With just a glance, he could tell that the inscriptions were extraordinary. They were likely related to a God Monarch.
"Alright, I need you to continue making arrangements for the sale of the Breakthrough Pill and Beauty Pill. Try to expand your influence and have Sun Qiang take care of my parents. As long as they are able to achieve a breakthrough in their cultivation, don't be stingy with them!"
Zhang Xuan instructed.
It was highly likely that they would encounter danger if they were to head to the Sky of Spirit Origin to look for Lozosy. Thus, he decided not to bring his parents and the others along.
Under the guidance of the experts of the Sword Hut, their comprehension of swordsmanship had grown deeper and deeper. Through this, their cultivation was able to advance by leaps and bounds. On top of that, Zhang Xuan was providing them with an endless supply of resources. They were able to consume the Breakthrough Pill, Beauty Pill, and Beauty Pill as if they were candy.
With time, it was not impossible for them to push for a breakthrough even further.
After making all the necessary arrangements, Zhang Xuan quickly confirmed the location of the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation before heading there on his aerial celestial beast.
As long as the Qi Clan still thought that he was a God Monarch, they would definitely do their best to protect him. That way, his parents, Sun Qiang, and the others would not be in any danger.
On the other hand, it would be even more dangerous for them to follow him.
The effects and prices of the Breakthrough Pill and Beauty Pill would surely have attracted the envy of many. It would be fine if they did not leave Drifting Specter Royal City, but once they did, there would be countless pairs of eyes staring at them.
So, even though it seemed like they were going to enter the Sky of Spirit Origin through the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation, it was unlikely that the journey would be as easy as they thought.
Sitting on the back of the aerial celestial beast, Zhang Xuan closed his eyes and adjusted his state of mind.
The Great Displacement Teleportation Formation was capable of teleporting experts from the Myriad Realms. Even though the user of the Teleportation Formation had to undergo a trial, it was still extremely dangerous. As such, the Teleportation Formation was not located in Royal City but on top of a mountain a hundred li away from Royal City.
It was heavily guarded.
In other words, if one wanted to enter the Teleportation Formation, they would have to leave Royal City first. Otherwise, there was a high chance that they would be ambushed.
Possessing the Breakthrough Pill and Beauty Pill was equivalent to wielding a huge purse of money. It was impossible for anyone not to go crazy over it.
"There's still fifteen minutes before I leave the city. This is a good opportunity for me to study the Celestial God realm swordsmanship!"
Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.
It had not been long since he made a breakthrough to the Celestial God realm, and he had been too busy trying to find news about Lozosy to raise his cultivation. He had not had the time to comprehend the Celestial God realm, so this was a good opportunity for him to try it out.
In order to comprehend the Celestial God realm swordsmanship, he had to be in the Firmament. In other words, even if he were to use the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn in the Library of Heaven's Path, he would not be able to comprehend the Celestial God realm swordsmanship in the least.
"Pathos of Heaven, first level, Bond of Master and Servant. Swordsmanship, Heart of Two Webs, Thousands of Knots!
"Second level, Bond of Brotherhood. Bond of Delight, Bond of Master and Servant. Swordsmanship, How Can You Be a Mere Spectator?
"Third level, Bond of Master and Student. Fallen Flowers Are Not Emotionless, Turning Into Spring Mud, Protecting Flowers! "
Ever since Zhang Xuan had comprehended his path of cultivation, the various cultivation techniques and swordsmanship had been surging in his mind.
It was as if a painting was slowly unraveling, and there was a long history of emotions written on it.
Some of them left one agitated, some sweet, some fearful, and some heart-wrenching …
All sorts of emotions, all sorts of emotions, encouraged him to continue cultivating and moving forward.
Love and Passion were emotions.
Hate and Loathing were emotions.
Happiness and Pain were emotions.
…
As long as there was life, no one would be able to escape from the path of emotions. Without life, there would be no meaning to the existence of the heavens.
As such, if the heavens had emotions, they would grow old!
The heavens might be destroyed, but as long as there was life, emotions would still exist.
Bond of Master and Student was a kin, as well as a successor …
It made one unable to reject it.
"I understand now …"
A thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind. Just as he was about to execute the Celestial God Sword Art, he suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.
Peng!
The aerial celestial beast beneath his feet abruptly exploded. Having lost his steed, he plummeted from the sky.
