"I won't ask for your medicinal herbs either. How about this?"
Just as Prince Fei Xuan was feeling stifled, the young man before him spoke up once more. "Just like Emperor Tianxue, I'll treat you once for free!"
Even though the Spirit Beast Grass was worth two spirit stones, and Zhang Xuan was determined to obtain it, he couldn't let the other party suffer too much.
With his hands behind his back, the young man walked around Prince Fei Xuan and said, "When I was treating you, I noticed that your zhenqi is stagnant, causing your breathing to be irregular. Even though your body looks fine, you're actually a little weak! If I'm not mistaken, recently, have you found it difficult to wake up in the morning and fall asleep at night? "
"I..."
Prince Fei Xuan was still contemplating whether he should snatch the Spirit Beast Grass back when he heard those words. His body trembled and his face paled. "You... How did you know?"
He had indeed been suffering from such a condition recently.
His zhenqi was stagnant, causing his breathing to be irregular, causing him to be unable to rest well, causing him to feel restless.
If not for that, he would have long used the spirit stones to reach Half-Zongshi. At the very least, he wouldn't have kept it and allowed the young man before him to win it...
However, he had never told anyone about this before. Even Envoy Ran Mu didn't know about it, so how could he possibly know?
Could he really have seen through his illness?
"I'm a physician, so I've already checked your condition when I was treating you. Naturally, I would know!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Guild leader... I beseech you to treat me!"
Prince Fei Xuan's face paled, and he hurriedly clasped his fist. The arrogance he had previously vanished.
This illness caused him to be unable to focus, resulting in his recent stagnation in his cultivation. If it could be treated, even though the Spirit Beast Grass was valuable, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to give it away.
"Un, it's actually very simple. You possess decent talent, but you're still a distance away from reaching Tongxuan realm pinnacle at such a young age. If I'm not wrong, you must have used a special cultivation method to raise your cultivation, right? To tell you the truth, it's this method that left you with a trauma! "
Zhang Xuan.
Prince Fei Xuan's body trembled.
The other party was right.
His talent could only be considered to be above average, not particularly brilliant.
There was no familial ties in the royal family, and if one's cultivation was lacking, it was easy for one to meet with all kinds of troubles. If one wished to lead a better life, one's cultivation speed. In order to raise his strength as quickly as possible, he had once used a special secret method, which was to consume special medicinal herbs to stimulate his acupoints and stimulate his potential.
Although the speed of improvement was very fast, it also left behind hidden dangers.
Could it be that … the recent problems with his body were because of this?
"That's right. I'll give you a prescription, and as long as you consume it, you should be able to resolve your affliction within a month. By then, it won't be impossible for you to reach Half-Zongshi!"
With a smile, Zhang Xuan walked over to a nearby table and took out a brush and a piece of paper. He wrote down a prescription and handed it over.
"Thank you, Guild Leader Liu!"
Taking the prescription, Prince Fei Xuan's face reddened.
He had been tormented by this illness to the point where he was lacking in stamina. He was also a little absent-minded and anxious. It was precisely because of this that he was unable to restrain himself from provoking the young man before him. He did not possess the composure that a prince should possess.
If he could be cured and reach Half-Zongshi, the prescription would be extremely valuable.
Not to mention a single spirit stone or a stalk of Spirit Beast Grass, even if there were more things, he would be willing to give it up!
That was because … Kunqian Kingdom had yet to appoint a crown prince. If he could reach Half-Zongshi in advance, there was a good chance that the position would be his.
Zhang Xuan waved his hands and turned to Mo Tianxue, "Your Majesty, please bring the patient over. I still have some matters to attend to after the treatment is done!"
Mo Tianxue was also in a state of shock at the moment. Upon hearing those words, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Guild Leader Liu, this patient's condition is rather unique. I'll have to trouble you to bring him over …"
"You want me to bring him over? Sure, lead the way then! "
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"The two of you, please rest at the posthouse …"
Mo Tianxue clasped his fist toward Prince Fei Xuan and Envoy Ran Mu.
"We'll be taking our leave!"
The duo knew that the other party didn't wish for too many people to know about this matter. Thus, they tactfully turned around and left. Following which, a eunuch walked up and led them out.
"Guild Leader Liu, this way please!"
After the duo left, Mo Tianxue led the way.
Zhang Xuan followed closely behind. However, barely after taking a few steps, a faint fragrance drifted into his nostrils. Following which, a telepathic message sounded in his ears.
"Zhang Xuan, Zhang Shi! You sure have fooled everyone … "
"Cough cough!" Zhang Xuan was taken aback. "Princess Mo Yu, you must have gotten the wrong person. I am Liu Cheng, there is no such person as Zhang Shi!"
"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. I had something to tell you, but since you don't want to say it, so be it. I can't be bothered to waste my breath!"
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to admit to it, Mo Yu harrumphed.
What she wanted to talk about was the duel between Zhao Ya and Mu Xueqing. Since this fellow was unwilling to admit to it, she couldn't be bothered to talk about it.
In any case, they are both your students. You can fight however you want.
Seeing the lady turn around and leave, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
It seemed like it was best for him not to reveal too much of himself before acquaintances. Otherwise, it would be easy for others to see through him.
He had spent quite some time with Mo Yu, and he had the Viridescent Eagle as well. It would be difficult for the other party not to recognize him.
"Princess Mo Yu, this is a trial at the Mingshi Tang Academy. I hope that you won't spread the news!"
Knowing that the other party had already confirmed the matter, he could only send a telepathic message over.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything even if you want me to!" Seeing that Zhang Xuan had admitted to it, Mo Yu smiled. "Since you've said so, I won't hide it from you. Come look for me tomorrow afternoon, and I'll bring you to watch a good show!"
"Tomorrow afternoon? What kind of show? "
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
"You'll know when you get there!"
Mo Yu smiled.
Judging from the confused look on Zhang Xuan's face, it was clear that he didn't know that Zhao Ya and Mu Xueqing were dueling. She would bring him to watch the duel tomorrow. It would definitely be a fun show.
To be honest, she really wanted to see what kind of expression he would have when he saw his two students fighting for their teacher's reputation …
This fellow had always been infuriating her, and she really wanted to see his face when he was humiliated.
Of course, the prerequisite was that she couldn't allow this fellow to return to the academy. Otherwise, if someone were to accidentally leak the news and learn of it in advance, it wouldn't be fun anymore …
Scheming in her mind, Mo Yu's eyes darted around.
"This is the place!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to continue asking about the mysterious matter, Mo Tianxue's voice sounded.
Lifting his head, he saw that he had unknowingly arrived at a vast courtyard.
The courtyard didn't seem deep, but for some reason, he couldn't see the end of it. It was as if something had blocked his vision, preventing him from seeing what was inside.
"Could this be … a formation?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Perhaps, only a formation would have the ability to prevent one from seeing what was inside despite standing on the outside of the courtyard.
"The one whom Guild Leader Liu is treating isn't a human, but our kingdom's … guardian beast!" Seemingly seeing through Zhang Xuan's doubts, Mo Tianxue explained.
"Guardian beast?"
"Un. Tianwu Kingdom doesn't have any formidable old ancestor, and it's only by relying on this guardian beast that we're able to stabilize our territory and prevent the other kingdoms from coveting our territories."
Mo Tianxue explained. "However, as we grow older, our guardian beast's strength has deteriorated, and its stamina has started to deteriorate as well! It was only recently that it fell seriously ill, and I'm afraid that it won't be able to hold on for much longer. Thus … we wish to trouble Guild Leader Liu to take a look and see if it's possible to treat it. If it's really impossible to treat it, we hope that you can find a way to prolong its life for Mo Yu to grow up! "
Zhang Xuan nodded.
If a kingdom wanted to remain strong and not be invaded by other kingdoms, there had to be a powerful expert protecting it.
Take Tianxuan Kingdom's Royal Ancestor Shen Hong for example. Without his presence, the other kingdoms could have invaded and divided their territories.
As for the Mingshi Tang, it rarely interfered in politics. Unless it had a good relationship with the person in charge, it would usually remain neutral.
After all, even if the kingdom were to change hands, no one would dare to lay their hands on the most formidable occupation on the continent.
In other words, regardless of how the kingdom was destroyed, the Mingshi Tang wouldn't be affected at all.
"This formation …"
Knowing that the person he was about to treat wasn't a human, Zhang Xuan looked at the formation in bewilderment.
Since this was the residence of the guardian beast, why was there a need to set up a formation here?
"The guardian beast is old and severely ill. Recently, it has been going on a rampage, injuring many people. Left with no choice, I invited the experts of the Formation Master Guild to set up this formation to trap it. Given its strength, if it were to wreak havoc in the royal palace, no one would be able to suppress it! "
Mo Tianxue smiled bitterly.
Only then did Zhang Xuan come to a realization.
Since its lifespan was nearing its end and it was severely ill, regardless of whether it was a human or a savage beast, it wouldn't allow itself to be killed so easily. Thus, it would try its best to find a way to extend its lifespan.
Even if it were to wreak havoc, it would be a disaster for Tianwu Kingdom. Thus, Mo Tianxue intentionally set up a formation to seal it, fearing that it would cause unnecessary trouble.
"Guild Leader Liu, rest assured. I've already sent someone to invite the grandmaster of the Formation Master Guild to bring us in. Otherwise, while the formation is in operation, it would be extremely dangerous. If one were to lose their bearings, it would be easy for them to get lost … "
Mo Tianxue said.
In order to prevent the guardian beast from escaping, the formation was constantly in operation. Even as the emperor, Mo Tianxue didn't know how to enter. Thus, they could only wait for the grandmaster of the Formation Master Guild to arrive before they could enter.
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
He knew nothing about formations. Even though the Mingshi Tang Academy had many books on it, he had never flipped through them. Thus, his understanding of formations was limited to its name.
"Right, since the formation is in operation, will the Library of Heaven's Path be able to see through it?"
After standing on the spot for a moment, a thought suddenly popped up in Zhang Xuan's mind.
When a fighter executed a battle technique, the Library of Heaven's Path could see through the flaws of the fighter and the battle technique.
When an apothecary forged a pill, the Library of Heaven's Path could see through the flaws in the forging technique and whether the pill would succeed.
When a formation master set up a formation, the Library of Heaven's Path could also see through the flaws in the formation.
In other words, as long as the formation was in motion, the Library of Heaven's Path would be able to see through its flaws.
Since the formation was in operation, would the Library of Heaven's Path be able to see through its flaws?
"Flaws!"
Zhang Xuan hurriedly turned his gaze to the Library of Heaven's Path.
Weng!
The Library of Heaven's Path jolted and a book appeared.
"It's indeed possible …"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up. He hurriedly flipped open the book to take a look.
