She had seen experts injure people because of a disagreement, turn around and leave because of a disagreement, ignore the secular world.
To make someone acknowledge him as his teacher without a single word...
The middle-aged man blinked.
The fact that he was able to reach Zongshi realm pinnacle showed that his talent wasn't weak. However, he knew that he was still a distance away from becoming a true genius.
Despite not being a genius, the other party was willing to take him in as his disciple.
What was going on?
"That's right! Are you puzzled as to why I want you to take me as your master? " Zhang Xuan waved his hand. His gaze was deep and calm. "Your talent is not exceptional, and your strength is nothing. What do I see in you?"
"I …"
Having his thoughts exposed, the middle-aged man was slightly embarrassed.
"When you were fighting with the Crimson Tiger just now, the combination of the [Surging Wave Body Technique] and the [Hong Yan Fist] was rather exquisite, but you were unable to unleash its full potential. If I'm not wrong, you've only learned an incomplete version of the [Hong Yan Fist]!"
Zhang Xuan said calmly.
"Senior, senior … how did you know?" The middle-aged man's expression changed and was filled with shock.
The Fleeting Wave Movement Technique was one of the more famous movement techniques in Tianwu Kingdom, so it wasn't surprising that Zhang Xuan was able to recognize it. However, the Hong Yan Fist was his unique technique. He had learned it from the remnants of a Zhizun realm expert he found in a mysterious valley.
The fist technique was named after its creator, and it was created by a senior called Hong Yan. It had a ferocious aura and was extremely powerful. It could be used to fight against the violent strength of a savage beast.
Even though this expert had only left behind a fragmented copy in the ruins, he had already mastered it after cultivating it for so many years. He had always treated it as a life-saving trump card and rarely used it in front of others. Previously, when he was fighting with the Crimson Tiger, he had intended to use it to temper himself. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the elder would recognize it with a single glance.
Zhang Xuan didn't answer his question. With a calm expression, he said, "The Hong Yan Fist is a powerful and forceful martial art. If you were to cultivate just this one martial art, even if it is incomplete, it wouldn't cause any harm to your body. Yet, you insist on cultivating the [Three-Inch Palm] as well. The power was exerted within three inches, for the rapid impact of the one-inch punch. One-inch Force and Grand Opening and Grand Closing Fist Techniques were originally at odds with each other. If I'm not wrong, your body should have some stubborn illness that can't be cured! "
"I …"
The middle-aged man's body trembled in shock. He hurriedly clasped his fist and said respectfully, "Elder … you are right!"
The martial skill that he had started cultivating was the Three Inch Fist.
Eventually, he obtained the Hong Yan Fist. Even though he knew that the two would clash with one another, he couldn't bear to part with such a formidable fist art. Thus, he forcefully cultivated it. He thought that he would be able to resolve the issue with his identity, but who could have known that the deeper he cultivated it, the greater the damage to his body would be.
Especially in recent years, he felt that his physical strength was not as good as before. Because of this, he wanted to tame this young Crimson Tiger. If something happened to him, he could protect his family.
"As a master teacher, it is foolish of you not to learn despite knowing that there is a clash between fist techniques." Zhang Xuan's voice carried a hint of coldness.
"Elder … you know that I am a master teacher?" The middle-aged man stared at Zhang Xuan in disbelief.
He had executed the Hong Yan Fist and Three Cun Palm in the previous battle, so it wasn't surprising that the other party was able to see through his disguise. However, he wasn't wearing his emblem or his master teacher robe, so how could the other party possibly know?
He didn't seem like a master teacher at all!
"Even though you were able to dodge the powerful attacks of the Crimson Tiger in advance, you might have been familiar with it due to the many battles you had with it. However, you were able to counterattack the flaws of the other party with every single move. This is something that only a master teacher would be able to achieve! "Zhang Xuan said.
Master teachers possessed the State of Insight, and they were able to see through the flaws and mistakes of battle techniques. From there, they would be able to pinpoint the crux of the problem and provide them with pointers.
This was precisely the reason why master teachers were the strongest among cultivators of the same cultivation realm.
Even though he was fighting against a savage beast, he wasn't nervous at all. Every single move of his had a profound meaning behind them, and as long as one was a cultivator, they would be able to see through the crux of the problem.
Not to mention, the battle between him and the Crimson Tiger had already been recorded in the Library of Heaven's Path.
"Elder's eyes sure are sharp …"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before his eyes lit up. "Could it be that … elder is a master teacher as well?"
Other than master teachers, Zhang Xuan couldn't think of anyone who would be able to see through his battle technique, the problems with his body, and even his occupation with just a glance.
Zhang Xuan placed his hands behind his back. As the mountain breeze blew, his sleeves fluttered in the wind, reminiscent of an immortal. "I have been roaming the world for many years, and it has been many years since I last heard someone call me that!"
"As expected of a master teacher …"
Hearing the other party's words, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up in agitation.
The other party was at least a Zhizun realm expert, and his eye of discernment far surpassed his. This meant that … he was at least a 3-star master teacher!
If he was a master teacher, it was understandable why the other party wanted him to acknowledge him as his teacher.
Master teachers carried the responsibility of imparting knowledge to those who didn't have any doubts. This was also the reason why the entire continent, as well as the human race, was so prosperous.
This was the reason why master teachers were respected by millions of people.
The hierarchy of master teachers was extremely strict. A lower ranked master teacher could address a higher ranked master teacher, so there was no problem in acknowledging a master as his teacher.
Furthermore, the other party was able to see through the problems in his body with a single glance, and even helped him tame the Crimson Tiger. If he were to acknowledge the other party as his teacher, he would have profited greatly!
"If elder is willing to accept me as your student, it would be my honor!"
With a reddened face, the middle-aged man suppressed his agitation and hurriedly said.
"You don't doubt me anymore?" Zhang Xuan glanced at him.
"Junior dares not!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly nodded.
He was unable to see through the other party's cultivation, but the other party was able to tame a Half-Zhizun realm savage beast. Even if the other party were to say that he wasn't a master teacher, he wouldn't believe it.
"The Crimson Tiger you fought with previously isn't fully mature, so its strength hasn't reached its limit yet. If you have a way to raise its strength to Zongshi realm pinnacle, it won't be difficult for it to submit to you!"
Seeing that the other party believed in his identity as a master teacher, Zhang Xuan knew that the rest of the matter would be easy. Thus, he decided to offer the other party some benefits.
"This … I know that as well. However, I have tried, but I am unable to think of any item that can raise its strength …" The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment.
As a master teacher, he had dabbled in beast taming as well. He knew that he had to cater to the other party's interests in order to tame it. However … he had tried many times, but he was unable to think of any item that could allow the Crimson Tiger to achieve a breakthrough.
After all, it wasn't that the Crimson Tiger's strength was restricted, but that it hadn't reached a certain age yet. No matter what medicine it ate, it was impossible for it to suddenly grow in age! Even if it did, it would be a waste of time. If the Crimson Tiger were to learn of it, it would only resent him. It would be impossible for it to submit to him then.
"Do you have any pills on you?"
Zhang Xuan asked impassively.
Unsure of why the elder would ask such a question, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before replying, "I do … have a few recovery pills!"
"Give them to me!" Zhang Xuan stretched out his hand.
"Yes!" Even though the middle-aged man didn't know why the other party wanted pills, he didn't hesitate for too long. Flicking his wrist, a jade bottle appeared in his hand. Flicking it lightly, he pushed the bottle over to Zhang Xuan.
Even though this move was simple, it showed the other party's exceptional control over his zhenqi.
Even though he was shocked, Zhang Xuan didn't allow it to show on his face. Taking the jade bottle, he opened it and saw a dozen smooth and round pills inside. They were all grade-2 pills.
Every single one of these grade-2 pills was extremely valuable. Adding all of them together, the total value was probably over ten million. Only a master teacher would be so daring as to carry them on him and throw them over.
Placing the pills on his palm, Zhang Xuan infused his pure Heaven's Path zhenqi into them, compressing the dozen pills into a single massive pill.
In order to help an immature savage beast break through its limits, there was no other method other than Bloodline Evolution. Zhang Xuan wasn't too sure what kind of medicine could do it, but he knew that … his Heaven's Path zhenqi was capable of it!
The other party was only at Zongshi realm pinnacle, and he wasn't too far away from reaching Zongshi realm either. Thus, the effects of the Heaven's Path zhenqi should be significant.
However, the Heaven's Path zhenqi was too powerful, and the other party was a master teacher with exceptional discernment. If he were to attempt to help the other party achieve a breakthrough, he might notice something amiss and ruin his disguise.
Furthermore, infusing the Heaven's Path zhenqi into the Crimson Tiger's meridians would require the other party to not retaliate. After all, he couldn't possibly knock the Crimson Tiger unconscious.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it!
Infusing zhenqi into the pills would cause the pills to melt and the zhenqi would flow into the body automatically. Through the circulation of the blood, the zhenqi would purify the bloodline and achieve the same effect as the Bloodline Evolution of the savage beast.
However, doing so would be a huge waste of pills. The higher the tier of the pill, the more zhenqi it could store. Just by doing so, he would be wasting tens of millions of gold coins worth of pills.
Of course, this didn't matter to Zhang Xuan. In any case, he was just being generous.
Using tens of millions of gold coins to tame a Zongshi realm pinnacle savage beast … This fellow was definitely making a huge profit.
"Alright, I have already forged your pills. As long as you feed this to the Crimson Tiger, it will be able to achieve a breakthrough immediately. As for how to make it submit to you, it will depend on your means!"
With a flick of his finger, the pill flew toward the middle-aged man.
He wasn't as skilled as the other party, so he could only resort to such a clumsy method.
"Yes!" Catching the pill, the middle-aged man was perplexed. He couldn't quite believe what he had just heard.
These recovery pills were bought from the Apothecary Guild, and there was nothing special about them. After placing them in the hands of this elder for a moment, he only managed to fuse a dozen of them into a single pill. Just like that … the Crimson Tiger would be able to achieve a breakthrough?
Why did it seem so unreliable?
"Feed it to it now!" Zhang Xuan didn't bother explaining.
"Yes!" Even though the middle-aged man was doubtful, he knew that the other party was a 3-star master teacher and a Zhizun realm expert. It was impossible for the other party to lie to him. Thus, nodding his head, the middle-aged man kept the pill and dashed in the direction that the Crimson Tiger had fled in.
Zhang Xuan didn't follow him. Instead, he waited patiently on the back of the Howling Firmament Beast.
Around two hours later, a loud rumble echoed. Riding on the back of the Crimson Tiger, the middle-aged man arrived before Zhang Xuan.
Without any hesitation, the middle-aged man leaped off the tiger's back and kneeled to the floor, "Student Jiang Shu pays respect to teacher!"
