"What is going on?"
Mo Hongyi was on the verge of going insane.
Liu laoshi, Master Teacher Zhang Xuan... Aren't they the same person?
Their students got into a fight? What is going on?
"You sure are serious..."
Seeing that Mo Hongyi was oblivious to the matter, the teacher couldn't help but impart some knowledge to him. "Master Teacher Zhang Xuan's students, one of them seems to be called Zhao Ya. For some reason, she got into an argument with Liu laoshi's student, Mu Xueqing. They have already fought once, and today, they fought a second time..."
Soon, he told Mo Hongyi everything that he knew.
After understanding the situation, a bizarre expression appeared on Mo Hongyi's face. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to.
To think that a disguised student would get into a fight with his own student, not to mention, it was so vicious that it seemed as though they would fight to the death... At this moment, Zhang Xuan was probably on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"What does the principal mean by inviting me over?"
Mo Hongyi couldn't help but ask.
"The principal's intentions are simple. He wants to introduce Zhang Shi and Liu laoshi to each other so that they can bury the grudges between them. Since you are familiar with Liu laoshi, he wants you to be the one to persuade him! "the teacher said.
"Me? Persuade him? Persuade Liu laoshi and Miss Zhang... to sit down and have a meal together? "Mo Hongyi was even more bewildered.
You can't be joking, right?
The two of them are the same person. If Zhang Shi appears, Liu laoshi won't appear. How can they sit together?
"Since that's the case, tell the principal that I'll look for Liu laoshi to discuss this matter. Don't interfere in this matter..." Suppressing his laughter, Mo Hongyi said.
Aren't you a genius who knows how to do everything?
Let's see how you're going to deal with this matter...
After chatting for a while longer, Mo Hongyi walked toward Zhang Xuan's classroom.
...
"Yuan Tao, where are you going? Why didn't you call me along? "
Just as he walked out of the room, he heard a hushed voice. Turning around, he saw Zheng Yang standing not too far away with a smile on his face.
"I..." Yuan Tao hesitated.
"Alright, I know that you want to find trouble with Liu laoshi. Let's go together!"
Zheng Yang said.
"I'm afraid that teacher will blame me if he finds out …" Yuan Tao said.
If he did it alone, even if Zhang Shi found out in the future, he would at most be beaten up. He was thick-skinned, so he wasn't afraid. It would be terrible if he harmed Zheng Yang.
"It's fine. We're good brothers, good brothers. How can I let you take the blame alone?"
Knowing what Zhang Xuan was thinking, Zheng Yang chuckled. "However, to be honest, I'm afraid that the two of us won't be able to make it!"
"What do you mean?"
"Simple. If you want to drug Liu laoshi, you have to infiltrate his classroom, right? You still have to find the vessel he wants to drink from before you can put the drug in. Your defense is invincible, but your speed is too slow! I'm good at spear arts, but my movement skills aren't that good either … "
Zheng Yang smiled. "Unless …"
"Wang Ying?" Yuan Tao understood what he meant.
"Indeed, we should call her along. With her movement technique, we should be able to poison Liu laoshi's teapot without anyone noticing!" Zheng Yang said.
"Alright …"
After pondering for a moment, Yuan Tao felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Xuan's words, so he nodded.
Wang Ying's side was easy to convince. Even though this lady was a little weak and didn't have a strong will, as long as one grasped her intentions, it would be easy to bewitch her.
And this intention was to vent Zhang Shi's anger!
This Liu laoshi was shamelessly biased. Wang Ying didn't say much, but she was furious as well. Thus, upon hearing that she was going to poison Liu laoshi's teapot, she hesitated for a moment before agreeing to it.
After the discussion, the three of them left the residence under the cover of the night and headed back to Tianwu Academy.
The night was quiet, and there weren't many students walking around the academy. After asking around, they found Liu laoshi's classroom.
"There doesn't seem to be anyone here!"
Pushing open the door, they didn't see anyone and their eyes lit up.
They thought that there would be students or Liu laoshi around, but to their surprise, the classroom was empty.
Zhang Xuan and Mu Xueqing had gone to the Apothecary Guild, and the other students had left after finishing their cultivation.
Lu Chong, who had been cultivating here, had already dragged his exhausted body back to his residence.
At this moment, there wasn't a single person in the classroom.
Pushing open the door, they searched for a moment and found the teapot and teacup used by teachers.
"This is it. Put the medicine in!"
The trio nodded. Yuan Tao took out a jade bottle and poured all of the medicinal powder into the teapot.
Not expecting things to go so smoothly, they were just about to leave excitedly when 'jiya!', the door to the classroom was pushed open.
The trio was shocked. It was too late for them to escape now, so they hurriedly turned around.
"Is Liu laoshi in?"
A voice sounded.
"Reporting to teacher, Liu laoshi isn't in..." Knowing that it wasn't Liu Cheng, the trio heaved a sigh of relief. Zheng Yang lowered his head and turned around.
"He isn't in? When he returns, tell him that Sun Cheng laoshi is here for a visit! "the person outside said.
"Yes..."
Zheng Yang hurriedly nodded his head.
"Un!" The person turned around and left. However, after walking a short distance, he suddenly froze. Why did that young man look so familiar? Where have I seen him before?
"Forget it..." After pondering for a long time, he was unable to recall where he had seen him before. Thus, he decided to leave immediately.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that they weren't under suspicion, Zheng Yang and the others didn't dare to linger around. They hurriedly left the room and dashed back to the residence.
...
Hu!
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan stretched his back lazily.
After an entire afternoon, he finally collected all of the books in the Apothecary Guild into the Library of Heaven's Path.
He had expended too much energy, and he was exhausted.
"Pure Yin Body!"
With a jolt of his consciousness, dozens of books appeared before his eyes.
He casually flipped through them.
After browsing through them for a moment, his eyes lit up.
There were indeed records regarding the Pure Yin Body in the books.
"Grade-4 Frigid Yin Pill, extremely effective in awakening the Pure Yin Body..."
"Frigid Yin Pill?"
After browsing through all of the books regarding the Pure Yin Body, he only found two books that had records regarding the awakening of the Pure Yin Body, and both of them mentioned the Frigid Yin Pill.
"Frigid Yin Pill, a grade-4 pill made from extremely cold and yin attribute medicinal herbs. It is incomparably valuable..."
After giving it a try using the Library of Heaven's Path, Zhang Xuan confirmed that the pill was indeed effective in awakening the Pure Yin Body. Thus, he began to worry once more.
Tianwu Kingdom didn't have any grade-4 apothecaries, so naturally, he didn't have any grade-4 pills. Thus, he could only purchase them from the headquarters. Perhaps, just like the previous time in Tianxuan Kingdom, he would have to spend several days on it.
Three days later, Zhao Ya and Mu Xueqing would have a duel. He wouldn't be able to make it in time.
Furthermore, more importantly... a grade-3 pill nearly bankrupted him. Grade-4 pills were bound to be even more expensive. He probably wouldn't be able to afford it.
"If I have the pill formula, I can guide others to forge it..."
Zhang Xuan thought.
Even though he didn't know how to forge pills, he could guide others. However, the prerequisite was that he had the pill formula. Otherwise, with the countless medicinal herbs in the world, he would die of exhaustion just by searching for them...
"Frigid Yin Pill formula!"
Zhang Xuan searched through all of the books in the Library of Heaven's Path. Soon, his face turned awful.
There were so many books in the Tianwu Kingdom Apothecary Guild, but there wasn't a single pill formula for this pill.
After a moment of doubt, he came to a realization.
This was a grade-4 pill. The best apothecary in the guild was only a grade-3 apothecary. How could they have it?
"Without the pill formula, I won't be able to forge pills... What should I do?"
Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella.
He couldn't possibly help Mu Xueqing raise her cultivation but not help Zhao Ya, right?
That way, it wouldn't be a competition between the two of them, but a crushing defeat.
"Let's get out of here first!"
Pushing open the door, Zhang Xuan walked out of the Compendium Pavilion. At this moment, the sky was already dark.
"Liu laoshi!"
Apothecary Mu walked up to him.
The other party was working so hard to raise his daughter's cultivation that he forgot about his meals and sleep. He was extremely grateful to the other party.
"Apothecary Mu, is there anyone in our guild who has a grade-4 pill formula?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
There weren't any grade-4 pill formulas in the Compendium Pavilion. Perhaps, these apothecaries might have a secret stash.
"A grade-4 pill formula?" Apothecary Mu shook his head. "Our guild doesn't have a grade-4 pill formula. However, if you want it, you can apply for it from the headquarters!"
"Apply for it from the headquarters?"
Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly. "Won't the journey take half a month?"
He knew that the headquarters would definitely have a grade-4 pill formula. However, even Xuanyuan Kingdom, which was the closest kingdom to the Compendium Pavilion, would take at least half a month. Even if he applied for it now, it would take half a month for the pill formula to arrive.
"Half a month? There's no need for that! A pill is a physical object, so it has to be delivered personally. It will take at least half a month... The pill formula can appear on the Wall of Pill Formulae directly! "Apothecary Mu smiled.
"Wall of Pill Formulae?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"Indeed. The Wall of Dilemma of the Physician Guild is similar to that of the headquarters. Apothecaries who have reached a certain rank can pay a certain price to request for the headquarters to bestow a pill formula that doesn't exceed their rank or knowledge! "
Apothecary Mu explained.
"Oh!"
Zhang Xuan had already found the relevant records in the Compendium Pavilion.
Just as he said, the Wall of Pill Formulae was similar to the Wall of Dilemma of the Physician Guild. As long as one paid a certain price, one could request for the headquarters to pass a pill formula or knowledge over.
However, one had to be at least a 3-star apothecary in order to use the Wall of Pill Formulae.
Even a 2-star pinnacle apothecary like Apothecary Mu wasn't qualified to use it.
"Could it be that I have to take the 3-star apothecary examination?"
Zhang Xuan hesitated.
He wasn't worried about taking the apothecary examination, but everyone knew that Zhang Shi was skilled in pill forging. If he were to take the examination at this moment, he could easily expose himself and arouse suspicion.
"How many 3-star apothecaries are there in our guild?"
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Initially, there was only one guild leader in our guild. However, Apothecary Hong Yun achieved a breakthrough some time ago and reached the same rank as well. The others are at the same rank as me, 2-star pinnacle. Thus... only the two of them are qualified to apply for the Wall of Pill Formulae. "
At this point, Apothecary Mu turned to look at Zhang Xuan doubtfully. "Does Liu laoshi need a grade-4 pill formula? But... even if you know the pill formula, it's useless if you don't know how to forge it! "
"Apothecary Hong Yun? Where is he? Bring me to him! "
Upon hearing Apothecary Hong Yun's name, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
This fellow was the fellow from the Zhang family who gave him the Unravel Yin Pill back then. Zhang Xuan had met him during the master teacher examination.
Just that, he didn't expect the other party to have reached the level of a 3-star apothecary.
Since he was qualified to apply for the Wall of Pill Formulae, Zhang Xuan could ask him for help. This way, he wouldn't have to take the 3-star apothecary examination, and it would save him unnecessary trouble as well.
