"How is it?"
Apothecary Hong Yun couldn't help but ask.
"It's a success..."
Mu Yangfeng looked exhausted, but his eyes were burning with passion. He looked at Guild Leader Liu with admiration.
Only after forging pills with the other party did he realize how deep the other party's understanding of pill forging was.
It wasn't something that could be done with just a simple understanding of medicinal properties.
Even though he followed the steps strictly, there were still a few moments of danger along the way.
It wasn't that he made a mistake, but that his cultivation was simply too weak. His cultivation was still passable in Tianwu Kingdom, but when it came to forging a grade-4 pill, it was insufficient.
Forging pills, maintaining the flame, and controlling the temperature of the cauldron required zhenqi.
There were a few times when he nearly died due to the depletion of his zhenqi. If not for the numerous pills he had forged over the past few years to replenish his zhenqi, he would have already died of exhaustion.
Every time he ran out of zhenqi and faced a crisis, Guild Leader Liu would guide him. The means he used were inconceivable, but the effects were the greatest. Even though he was on the verge of losing control, he was always able to reverse the situation and create a miracle.
It was as if he could see through the situation within the cauldron and know how to prevent it from exploding.
It was truly a wonder how he could possess such profound knowledge and pill forging skills at such a young age!
Just as Apothecary Hong Yun had guessed, Mu Yangfeng had indeed learned a lot from this round of pill forging. Regardless of whether it was in terms of knowledge or mental fortitude, he had grown tremendously. Even without Guild Leader Liu's guidance, it was only a matter of time before he could forge a grade-3 primary or even intermediate pill!
"He succeeded?"
Seeing the look of admiration in Apothecary Mu's eyes, Hong Yun and Jiang Chen turned to look at Guild Leader Liu, and they were stunned.
They didn't expect the other party to create a miracle, a result that was hard to accept even after witnessing it with their own eyes!
...
After the Frigid Yin Pill was successfully forged, there wasn't much left for them to do. After resting for a moment to recover their stamina, Zhang Xuan began to help Mu Xueqing activate the remaining medicinal energy in her body.
Apothecary Mu had already prepared the medicinal solution beforehand, and the latter had also been adjusted to its peak condition. Using the silver needles, he infused his Heaven's Path zhenqi into the other party's body.
Under the pure zhenqi, the accumulated medicinal energy in Mu Xueqing's body began to burn furiously, as though gasoline being ignited. A powerful energy flowed through her meridians and flowed through her entire body.
Pilipala!
His body crackled like a firecracker, and many of his acupoints burst open.
After observing Mu Yangfeng for a moment, Zhang Xuan confirmed that he would not be in any danger with the medicinal liquid protecting him. Thus, he bade farewell to Mu Yangfeng and left the Guild.
After finding a secluded spot, he transformed back into Yang Xuan and headed back to the mansion.
When they returned to the mansion, it was already very late. Fortunately, Zhao Ya and the others were still awake. They passed the refined Cold Yin Pill to her and told her to take it as soon as possible.
After which, he took out the sword that Beast Tamer Wang had given him back at the Beast Hall.
This sword was of a much higher grade than the one he had broken. It was a good match for Zhao Ya.
After dealing with all this, Zhang Xuan lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
To be honest, he had underestimated the difficulty of refining the Frigid Yin Pill. If it weren't for the Library of Heaven's Path's real-time updates, which allowed him to know where the flaws in the refining process were, the furnace would have already exploded.
Even so, his mental state was highly strained, and he had exhausted too much of his energy, resulting in his pale complexion and weak body.
It seemed that he had better not do such things that exceeded his level in the future. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.
...
By the time he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
Having rested enough, Zhang Xuan felt invigorated once more.
He asked about Zhao Ya, but she seemed to be still in seclusion. Thus, after informing Sun Qiang about it, he left the mansion and headed for Tianwu Academy.
He hadn't seen Lu Chong for two days, and he wondered if he had been cultivating. Since he was free, he decided to pay him a visit.
"Teacher, you're here..."
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the classroom, Meng Tao rushed forward to welcome him.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
Meng Tao had always been a composed person, and he wouldn't wait outside for no reason.
"Teacher, Sun laoshi came looking for you early in the morning. He has been waiting for more than two hours!" Meng Tao hurriedly said.
"Sun Cheng?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Wasn't it Mo Hongyi? Why was he looking for him at this time?
Pushing open the door, he saw Mo Hongyi sitting quietly on a stool by the side of the classroom, sipping on a cup of tea.
"You're finally here. You've made me wait for so long..."
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan enter the room, Mo Hongyi smiled bitterly.
This fellow was truly infuriating. In order to pass the 2-star master teacher examination, he spent almost every single day in the classroom, not daring to step out at all. Every day, he would attend at least eight to ten hours of lessons so as to build trust with his students.
Yet, this fellow slacked off for less than an hour a day. Yet... his students were so loyal to him that they were in complete awe of him!
For the sake of his reputation, they even went as far as to fight with 'Zhang Shi's' students...
Truly, comparisons were odious!
It was impossible for him to not be impressed.
"Let's talk inside!"
There were many students outside, and it wasn't convenient for them to talk too much. Thus, Zhang Xuan gestured and walked into the small room with Mo Hongyi.
"I have two matters to discuss with you!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mo Hongyi spoke up. "Firstly, Principal Zhang has instructed me to act as a mediator and arrange a time for you to meet with Zhang shi. He wants you to have a meal together so that you won't get into a conflict due to the conflict between your students!"
"Meet with Zhang Shi?" Zhang Xuan blinked his eyes. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I definitely can't agree to it..."
Arrange a meeting with him? Have a meal together?
How am I supposed to eat together?
If I were to agree to it, I would definitely be exposed.
"Who asked you to be so high-profile..." Seeing the fellow who had broken so many of his records finally being put in a spot, Mo Hongyi chuckled.
You can just pretend to be an ordinary teacher, but you suddenly became the guild leader of the Physician Guild. Furthermore, your students even insisted on fighting with 'Zhang Shi's' students...
With such a high profile, it would be difficult for you not to attract the attention of others!
Now that he was in such a difficult situation, he was asking for it.
Let's not talk about this anymore. I know that you definitely won't agree to it. However, judging from the principal's attitude, my persuasion won't work. He will definitely come personally! At that time, it won't be convenient for you to reject it! "
Mo Hongyi shook his head. Not wanting to dwell on this matter, he said, "Let's talk about the second matter. After the past few days, I feel that the Trust Level of my students has reached 40. They would like to return to the Mingshi Tang School and pass the examination as soon as possible!"
"I can see that your students trust you as well, so they should have already exceeded 40. Why don't we do it together? Once we pass the examination, outsiders will know that Liu laoshi is Zhang Shi. This way, we can get rid of this identity and avoid any awkwardness. At the same time, your students won't kill one another! "
"Un..."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
Back then, the condition that the Mingshi Tang School gave them was for them to obtain 40 Trust Level and above within ten days.
This time limit was just a predetermined period. If they were to achieve it before the deadline, they would be able to return to the Mingshi Tang School and pass the final examination.
However, if they were to fail the examination, their students would know of their identities and they wouldn't be able to continue with their disguise. That would be equivalent to failing the 2-star master teacher examination.
After the past few days of guidance, putting aside Mu Xueqing and Lu Chong, even Meng Tao and the others had become obedient to him. Even if their Trust Level hadn't reached 40 yet, it wasn't too far away. It was sufficient for them to pass the examination.
Seeing that the other party had agreed, Mo Hongyi chuckled. "It's settled then. We'll head to the Mingshi Tang School together tomorrow morning!"
"Alright!" Zhang Xuan replied.
The matter wasn't too complicated. After the discussion, Mo Hongyi turned around and left. It was time to make a final gamble.
Returning to the classroom, Zhang Xuan guided Meng Tao and the others on their cultivation before asking, "Where's Lu Chong? Why didn't he come to class today? "
"He should be cultivating. I'll bring him over right now..."
Meng Tao replied before walking out of the classroom.
Lu Chong was a student of the academy, so naturally, he lived in the student dormitory.
Knowing that it would take some time to bring the other party over, Zhang Xuan wasn't in a hurry. Sitting down, he had the others cultivate according to his guidance. Then, he poured a cup of water and picked it up.
Just as he was about to drink the water, his lips came into contact with the cup, and he suddenly frowned.
"Dry Earth Powder?"
Even though he hadn't taken the poison master examination before, after reading all the books in the Poison Temple, he already possessed the capability of a 2-star pinnacle poison master.
Even before coming into contact with the tea, he could already tell that there was lethal poison in it.
Dry Earth Powder was a grade-2 pinnacle poison, and it was effective even against Zongshi realm pinnacle experts. Even though it wasn't lethal, it could cause one to lose all of their stamina for a short period of time, causing them to vomit and suffer from diarrhea.
Who would put poison in his teacup?
And what was the culprit up to?
Frowning, Zhang Xuan was just about to ask who had touched his tea set when Meng Tao, who had just left, rushed in with a bizarre and flustered expression.
"Liu laoshi, bad news!"
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Lu Chong? "
Seeing the other party's expression, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
He told him to look for Lu Chong, and yet, he had such an expression on his face. Could it be that the other party didn't cultivate according to his instructions, resulting in a problem?
If something were to happen to his student during his disguise, causing his student's cultivation to go berserk or even die...
Putting aside the fact that he wouldn't be able to take the 2-star apothecary examination, he would probably never be able to become a master teacher in this lifetime.
If it was in the past, with the help of the Library of Heaven's Path, it wouldn't matter much to him whether he took the master teacher examination or not.
But now, if he couldn't become a Nine Stars master teacher before thirty, the Innate Fetal Poison would act up. It was impossible for him not to take the master teacher examination!
Even if there was another solution, he had to find it first...
If he couldn't find it, it would be useless! Thus, the most reliable solution at the moment was still this.
To others, this goal was simply too difficult, so much so that it could be considered impossible. However, to Zhang Xuan, as long as he cultivated diligently and found the corresponding cultivation technique manual, there was a high chance that he would succeed.
"That shouldn't be the case. My Heaven's Path zhenqi is protecting his heart, and he has survived the most difficult trial. How could something happen to him?"
Before leaving, he had taken a look at Lu Chong's condition. With a surge of his zhenqi in Lu Chong's body, Lu Chong was able to survive the most difficult trial. How could something happen to him?
"It's not Lu Chong!" Meng Tao shook his head. Then, a bizarre expression surfaced on his face. "It's Sun Cheng laoshi. He, he..."
"What happened to him?" Zhang Xuan asked.
Meng Tao replied awkwardly, "H-he fell into a cesspool..."
