Before he fainted, he was filled with resentment.
I looked for you out of goodwill, but I was poisoned by your student and knocked out with a single slap...
Who in the world did I offend?
"Liu laoshi..."
Zhao Wuxing and the others were perplexed.
Ignoring everyone's shock, Zhang Xuan took out his silver needles and drove his zhenqi into a few acupoints on the other party's body.
Zhang Xuan had read about the 'Dry Earthen Powder', so he knew the symptoms and treatment methods. Under normal circumstances, he would have to concoct an antidote, and that would be troublesome.
However, using his silver needles and Heaven's Path zhenqi, the process was extremely simple.
However, his zhenqi was extremely pure, so he couldn't allow others to know of it. Mo Hongyi was a genius, and his cultivation realm was on par with his. Rather than being unable to explain himself, he might as well knock him out first.
Soon, more than a dozen silver needles were inserted into the areas where the poison aura gathered the most. Under the circulation of Heaven's Path zhenqi, the poison was absorbed by the silver needles and gradually turned black. At the same time, Mo Hongyi's pale face gradually regained some color.
"Incredible..."
Zhao Wuxing and the others stared at one another in astonishment.
They had long heard that Liu laoshi had solved nineteen difficult illnesses consecutively and became the guild leader of the Physician Guild. Only after witnessing it with their own eyes did they realize how incredible his medical skills were.
With just a few needles, he was able to heal the weakened Sun laoshi. Compared to him, the medical teachers in the academy were nothing more than trash.
"You two, send Sun laoshi back. He should wake up in two hours!"
After ensuring that the poison in the other party's body had been neutralized, Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
A grade-2 pinnacle poison was extremely fearsome. Even if the poison was neutralized, it would take some time for the other party to recover.
Of course, if Zhang Xuan were to infuse more Heaven's Path zhenqi into the other party's body, he should be able to wake up soon. However, that would be troublesome as well.
"Yes!" Zhao Wuxing and Zhang Xuan supported Sun laoshi back to his classroom.
"Someone tried to poison me, and Mo Hongyi was unlucky enough to drink the poisoned water... Just that, who is it that wants to kill me?"
Rubbing his glabella, Zhang Xuan couldn't figure it out.
His current identity was' Liu Cheng ', and he hadn't offended anyone. Who would go through so much trouble to obtain such valuable poison just to poison him?
Could it be someone from the Physician Guild?
Was he dissatisfied with becoming the guild leader?
He shook his head.
Doctors are benevolent people who save the dying and heal the injured. As an official physician, even if he harbored evil intentions, he wouldn't resort to such despicable means.
Putting aside the fact that this Dried Earth Powder was not fatal, more importantly, even if it killed him, it would be easy for the headquarters to investigate. The gains did not make up for the losses.
Even after thinking for a long time, Zhang Xuan was still unable to figure out who it was that wanted to kill him. Rubbing his glabella, he decided not to dwell on it any longer.
"Let's head to Lu Chong's place to take a look!"
Meng Tao led the way, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the student dormitory.
Lu Chong didn't stay with the other students. Instead, he stayed in a small room by the side of the dormitory. This room was used to store mops and miscellaneous items.
The student dormitories in Tianwu Academy usually had four students living in a single dormitory. The reason why Zhang Xuan chose this dormitory was probably because he was worried that he might divulge secrets in his sleep.
Although the room was small and messy, he was the only one who could keep the secret in his heart.
"Lu Chong, Lu Chong, why aren't you attending class today? Teacher is here to see you! "
Meng Tao knocked on the door a few times.
Hearing that there was no reply, Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Did that fellow really succumb to the lethal poison and die?
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan kicked the door open and walked in.
The room was small and filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items. However, it was very clean. At the very corner of the room, there was a small bed that could only fit a single person.
"No one is here?"
The room was small. Zhang Xuan quickly scanned the area, but there was no one around. In other words... Lu Chong wasn't here.
"Teacher..."
Meng Tao's sharp eyes caught something, and he picked it up and handed it over.
It was a letter with the words' To Liu laoshi 'written on it.
From the looks of it, he knew that Zhang Xuan would be looking for him, so he had made preparations beforehand.
Zhang Xuan casually tore it open.
There was only a single line of words, and it was clear and concise.
"Liu laoshi, forgive me for being unfilial. I have to exact vengeance for my parents!"
"He... went to exact vengeance?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
If he knew that Lu Chong would be burning with vengeance, there wouldn't be a single day that he wouldn't want to exact vengeance. However, wasn't it a little too rushed for him to do so right after cultivating the Poison Body?
But thinking about it, Zhang Xuan came to a realization.
The vengeance for his parents was irreconcilable. After enduring for two whole years, given that his cultivation had improved significantly, it was impossible for him to hold himself back any longer.
"I wonder who his enemy is..."
Afraid that his teacher would be implicated, Lu Chong didn't mention who his enemy was. Even if Zhang Xuan wanted to find his enemy now, it would be difficult for him to do so!
"Keep a close eye on the situation for the next two days. If anyone is killed in Tianwu Royal City or there is any disturbance, report it to me immediately!"
Zhang Xuan instructed.
These students all had impressive backgrounds. It would be impossible for him to gather any news on them alone. However, if he were to pass down the order, he should be able to find something soon.
Since Lu Chong had feigned silence, his enemy was likely to be in the capital, and his standing wasn't low at all!
If something were to happen, it would surely cause a huge commotion. By then, he would be able to find his enemy easily.
"Reckless!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Initially, he was thinking of imparting a battle technique to Lu Chong after he finished cultivating the Poison Body. At the very least, it would increase the possibility of him exacting vengeance.
Who knew that Lu Chong would leave as soon as he was done cultivating the Poison Body, not even bothering to bid farewell to him. Despite his calm personality, he was actually so reckless.
Actually, Zhang Xuan also knew that the reason why Lu Chong didn't say anything before leaving was because he didn't want to implicate him.
If Zhang Xuan had known about it, he would have surely interfered. If Zhang Xuan were to meet with danger, there was a high chance that he would lend a helping hand.
In order to prevent his teacher from implicating him, Lu Chong wrote a letter before leaving. No one knew where he was headed to.
This fellow might seem young, but he had a lot of thoughts in his head.
"Let's return to the classroom first!"
Sighing, Zhang Xuan walked back to the classroom.
Even though he felt that this fellow was reckless, he was more touched than anything else.
"Teacher and student, what is a teacher? What is a life? "
While walking forward, a thought emerged in Zhang Xuan's mind.
Ever since his reincarnation, he had always accepted students for his own goals and imparted knowledge to them.
Even though he was sincere and the knowledge he imparted to them was meticulous, without the slightest bit of falsehood... But in truth, he had never fully embraced the concept of being a teacher.
It was just like some young parents. Even though they had given birth to their children and took great care of them, deep in their hearts, they didn't have the concept of being a parent.
In his previous life, Zhang Xuan was only a librarian in a high school. He wasn't a real teacher.
Even though he had accepted quite a few students in this life, firstly, he hadn't had much time, and secondly, he had too many matters to attend to.
Unknowingly, Lu Chong's actions had stirred his mind.
"Imparting knowledge makes one a 'teacher'? Obtaining knowledge makes one a 'student'? "
"That's not right. Being a teacher shouldn't be that simple, and giving birth shouldn't be that easy!"
The memories of his interactions with Zhao Ya, Mu Xueqing, Lu Chong, and the others flashed through his mind, and Zhang Xuan's mind gradually cleared up.
"This is a kind of tacit understanding, a kind of responsibility, a kind of reliance, a kind of..."
Boom!
After an unknown period of time, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up. It was as though a shackle had been broken, and he was suddenly enlightened.
Following which, a majestic energy descended from the heavens and seeped into his mind. His state of mind became clearer and more profound.
"Tell no one to disturb me. I'm going into seclusion!"
Sensing the change in his state of mind, Zhang Xuan couldn't hold himself back any longer. After instructing Meng Tao, he entered the small classroom and sat down.
...
Mingshi Tang.
"Father, I'm speaking the truth. That Liu Cheng laoshi really guided Apothecary Mu to forge a grade-4 pill..."
Jiang Chen turned to look at his father.
The sight he saw yesterday was simply too shocking. Even now, he still hadn't recovered from it.
He had browsed through many books in the morning, and only then did he realize how difficult it was to guide a 2-star apothecary to forge a grade-4 pill. It wasn't something that could be done just by being well-versed in medicinal herbs.
In other words, this Liu laoshi was definitely skilled in pill forging, and he might even be an incredible expert.
"Un, I believe him!" Pavilion Master Jiang nodded.
He knew that his senior was skilled in pill forging, but he still didn't expect him to do such a thing.
"Father, tell me, is there any relationship between this Liu laoshi and Uncle Zhang Shi?"
Seeing his father's unsurprised expression, Jiang Chen voiced out the doubts in his heart.
He had been suspicious ever since yesterday.
Zhang Shi was skilled in pill forging, but so was Liu laoshi! Zhang Shi had disappeared from the expedition, and now, Liu laoshi had appeared... For two incredible geniuses to not come into contact with one another... He couldn't help but wonder.
Seeing that his son was suspicious of him, Pavilion Master Jiang was just about to speak when he suddenly froze on the spot and his face warped.
"What?"
He wasn't the only one. Jiang Chen was taken aback as well.
"It's the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall!"
Pavilion Master Jiang's body shook, and he dashed out. Jiang Shu followed closely behind him.
The moment he left the courtyard, he realized that all of the master teachers in Mingshi Tang had been alarmed, and all of them were rushing toward the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall.
The Teacher Acknowledgement Hall was the place where one would be conferred a master teacher emblem after taking the master teacher examination.
Usually, those who passed the master teacher examination had to apply for an emblem here, pay respects to Kong Shi's statue, and receive the acknowledgement of Mingshi Tang. It was similar to how some clans paid respects to their ancestors.
As for the Question Symposium, it was to announce one's identity and have everyone acknowledge him. It was only after paying respects to him. Thus, Zhang Xuan had never been here before.
Hu hu hu hu!
Many master teachers rushed to the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall and lifted their heads to take a look.
The ancestral tablets left behind by the predecessors were shaking non-stop, as though an earthquake was occurring.
Putong! Putong! Putong!
The ancestral tablets fell one after another.
"The Trembling of the Myriad Tablets, this is... [Celestial Master Teacher]?" Pavilion Master Jiang's lips quivered.
"Not only so, pavilion master, look..."
A master teacher pointed forward.
Upon hearing those words, Pavilion Master Jiang and the others immediately turned their gazes over.
The towering statue of Kong Shi at the center of the room was also trembling slightly.
"This is... Kong Shi's disciple, the Student of the Sage?"
A shocked exclamation sounded.
