We are a Beast Hall, not a spirit stone mine. How many spirit stones can we possibly have?
One or two carts? It would be good enough if they could take out a few dozen …
As for pills and medicinal herbs, even if the Beast Hall does have them, they are meant for savage beasts. Where can I get so much for you?
She had thought that the other party would be a selfless and magnanimous person, but who could have thought that he would be exposed right away …
"Beast Tamer Zhang, you must be joking. It's not that we don't want to give it to you, but we don't have that many things on hand …"
Hall Master Xie Jiuchen said with a reddened face.
"It's fine if you don't. Then I need something that you can't refuse!" Zhang Xuan looked over.
"Please speak!"
"I want more than a thousand Half-Step Supreme-Being and Supreme-Being level cultivation techniques. There's no limit to the level, the more the better!" Zhang Xuan said.
Asking for sky-high prices and asking for cheap prices.
His main goal wasn't spirit stones or medicinal herbs, but this.
With sufficient cultivation techniques, he would be able to create a Heaven's Path Paragon cultivation technique and find a way to achieve a breakthrough.
No matter what, if he wanted to exact vengeance for Lu Chong, strength was of the utmost importance.
"Thousands of Half-Step Supreme-Being and Supreme-Being level cultivation techniques?"
Xie Jiuchen blinked.
What did he want this for?
It's not like I can cook and eat them if I have too many cultivation manuals … Besides, there's no requirement on the level of cultivation manuals.
After a moment of contemplation, Xie Jiuchen replied, "That's simple. I can make the necessary preparations, but I'll need at least three days!"
Zhizun realm cultivation technique manuals were extremely valuable in Tianwu Kingdom, but here, most of the clans would have a few of them in stock. While it might sound troublesome to gather a thousand of them, given the connections and influence of the Beast Hall, it shouldn't be too difficult to find one.
"Alright!"
Hearing that the other party was able to gather all of the information, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Since he had already obtained the spirit beast blood essence and the cultivation technique manual, the other items weren't important anymore.
"I'll help you heal your wounds now!"
He turned to look at the Nightmare Beast.
This fellow had failed in its breakthrough to Transcendent Mortal realm, causing it to suffer from a chronic illness. Since Zhang Xuan had agreed to treat it, it was about time for him to fulfill his promise.
"Roar!"
The Nightmare Beast knew that it wouldn't be able to follow Zhang Xuan anymore once its injuries were healed. Thus, it roared in reluctance.
The person in front of him was a powerhouse who could speak the voice of the True Dragon. If he followed behind him, it was inevitable that he would become a carp leaping over the dragon gate in the future.
If he were to remain in the Beast Hall, this opportunity would be wasted.
However, as a contracted beast, he dared not refute the words of his master.
"In order to solve your problem, we need to know what's wrong with your body first!"
Paying no heed to its resentment, Zhang Xuan turned to it and said, "How about this? Knock yourself out first!"
"Roar???"
The Nightmare Beast widened its eyes in shock.
Xie Jiuchen and Wei Yuqing were also speechless.
It seemed like that fellow hadn't given up on knocking the Nightmare Beast out...
"What are you shouting for? Hurry up!"
Zhang Xuan bellowed with a frown.
He had to make the best use of his time to cultivate, so he had no time to waste with this guy.
"Roar ~"
The Nightmare Beast glared at Zhang Xuan resentfully. After a moment of hesitation, it gritted its teeth and swung its thick claws toward Zhang Xuan's head.
Patter!
His vision darkened, and he fainted on the spot.
If Xie Jiuchen and the others wanted to knock it out, they would have to spend a lot of effort. But if it did it by itself, it would be much easier.
"What are you doing?"
"What's going on?"
Previously, when the Nightmare Beast charged out, the other beast tamers had already retreated far away. As such, they didn't hear the conversation between the few of them. Thus, upon seeing the massive fellow knocking it out, bewildered expressions appeared on their faces.
"Beast Tamer Zhang is going to treat this massive fellow!"
Hall Master Feng and Elder Zhu nodded with a smile.
"Treat?" Luo Tang and Fang Jin were perplexed.
Why would one need to knock out a savage beast to treat a patient?
"This is Beast Tamer Zhang's unique treatment method, the Knockout Treatment Method!" Hall Master Feng concluded.
"Knockout Treatment Method? Beast Pummeling Taming Method... What the heck is that? "
The duo couldn't take it anymore.
They had seen weird people before, but they had never seen such a bizarre person before.
Ever since they became apprentice beast tamers, they had kept a strict rule in mind. If they wanted to tame a savage beast, they had to maintain a good relationship with it.
Yet, this fellow had the Beast Pummeling Taming Method and the Knockout Treatment Method...
He even had to pummel the savage beast. If it had been anyone else, they would have long been scratched to death. Yet, not only was this fellow alive and well, he even made a savage beast submit to him...
Just the thought of it left them stifled.
Amidst everyone's perplexed and frustrated gazes, Zhang Xuan had already touched the Nightmare Beast and compiled a book on it. Thus, he understood the root of the fellow's problem.
"It's indeed an injury caused by a failed attempt at breaking through to become a spirit beast. Not only are its meridians damaged, its internal organs are also damaged as well. It requires a lot of medicine to heal its injuries... I'll write down all of this information now. Make the necessary preparations so that the Beast Hall can treat it. This should help to improve its goodwill as well!"
Zhang Xuan said.
This fellow was severely injured. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been captured by the Beast Hall and brought here.
On top of that, its old injuries hadn't healed yet, and it had forcefully exerted its strength previously.
Even though Zhang Xuan could still prescribe medicine without the help of the Library of Heaven's Path, he could only treat the symptoms and not the root of the problem.
At this moment, knowing the root cause of its injuries made things much easier. However, it would take at least half a year for it to recover completely and allow it to attempt a breakthrough to Transcendent Mortal.
Of course, if he were to use his Heaven's Path zhenqi, the treatment would be swift.
However, his cultivation was still too low compared to the other party's. Putting aside the fact that his Heaven's Path zhenqi wasn't very effective, if he were to use it, it would incur the other party's suspicion.
Thus, he might as well leave the matter to the Beast Hall and let them deal with it. At the same time, he could spend more time with the other party and forge a good relationship with them.
"Yes!" Hall Master Xie Jiuchen nodded.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan took out a brush and a piece of paper and wrote down a prescription. The most important medicinal ingredient was the bottle of Seven-colored Honey that Wei Youdao had given him.
He was only providing the prescription. As for how the other party would use it and negotiate with him, that was none of his business.
"Find me a silent chamber!"
After settling the matter here, Zhang Xuan instructed.
Hall Master Xie didn't dare to hesitate. It didn't take long for him to prepare a spacious villa.
This Beast Tamer Zhang had successfully challenged the Ten Beasts Cage. Even if he were to request for a residence, no one would dare to say anything about it.
Not to mention, the other party had even gifted the tamed Nightmare Beast to the Beast Hall. This was a huge favor.
"Right, Hall Master Xie, may I trouble you with another matter?"
After settling Zhao Ya and the others into the villa, Zhang Xuan turned to Hall Master Xie once more.
"Beast Tamer Zhang, feel free to speak your mind!"
Hall Master Xie smiled.
Even though the other party before him wasn't old, in his heart, the other party was already on equal footing with him, perhaps even surpassing him.
Putting everything aside, just the fact that the other party was able to tame the Nightmare Beast so easily and speak the Voice of True Dragons was already something that he couldn't compare to.
"Hall Master Xie, may I trouble you to send someone to escort this friend of mine to the Wind Gazing Valley of the Dusk Mountain Range?"
Calling Sun Qiang over, Zhang Xuan casually pointed.
"Dusk Mountain Range … Wind Gazing Valley? He's heading to … the Poison Temple? "Hall Master Xie Jiuchen narrowed his eyes.
Even though the Poison Temple branch of Xuanyuan Kingdom was a well-hidden secret, and there were many who didn't know its exact location, as the hall master of the Beast Hall, he had heard of it before.
It was located in the Wind Gazing Valley!
That was a taboo location for cultivators. Why would Beast Tamer Zhang allow a subordinate like him to head there?
"You know about the Poison Temple as well? Indeed, I would like him to make a trip there!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
"But … the Poison Temple is extremely dangerous …" Hall Master Xie Jiuchen couldn't help but say.
The Poison Temple had a notorious reputation, and many of its members were involved in murder cases. It would be dangerous for them to head there recklessly.
Not to mention, this subordinate was only at Tongxuan realm, a weak Tongxuan realm cultivator.
"Oh, I have a friend in the Poison Temple, so there won't be any danger if I send him there. I'm only asking you to send someone to protect him so as to avoid unnecessary trouble, "Zhang Xuan explained.
Back then, when Gu Mu left, he gave Zhang Xuan a token, and if he needed any help, he could use it to look for him.
Now that he was at odds with the Xuanyuan royal family, and he wanted to kill the crown prince of the Xuanyuan royal family, he had to make use of this relationship.
However, Zhang Xuan had to make use of this time to raise his cultivation, so he didn't have the time to send someone over. After contemplating for a moment, he decided that Sun Qiang was the most suitable candidate.
That fellow was a shrewd person, and he would definitely be more capable than Zhao Ya and the others.
"Alright! I'll make the preparations now! "
Hearing that Zhang Xuan had a friend in the Poison Temple, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen hesitated for a moment before eventually nodding his head.
After leaving, Zhang Xuan turned to Sun Qiang.
"Butler Sun, I know that you are loyal to my teacher, so there's something that I need you to do."
"Young master, please instruct me!" Sun Qiang hurriedly clasped his fist.
He had to obey the orders of the only direct disciple of the old master.
"Take this token and head to the Wind Gazing Valley Poison Temple to look for a poison master named Gu Mu. Have him look for me in Xuanyuan Royal City!"
Zhang Xuan took out the token.
"Alright!" Sun Qiang looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully. "Is this Gu Mu young master's friend? How should I address him? "
Zhang Xuan hadn't told anyone about his experience in the Poison Temple, so he wasn't too sure about it.
"Oh, this Gu Mu is my … teacher's grand disciple, which means that he is my junior nephew!" Zhang Xuan said.
Initially, he wanted to say that Gu Mu was his grand disciple. However, if that fellow were to realize that this senior granduncle of his wasn't even twenty yet, he would definitely be doubtful. Thus, he decided to push the identity of this expert to his teacher.
In any case, this' teacher 'was already used to being mysterious, so he didn't mind being mysterious one more time.
"Old master's grand disciple?" Sun Qiang's eyes lit up.
He didn't expect that the old master would have a grand disciple from the Poison Temple. This was incredible.
"Even if I can't be of the same generation as the old master, I should at least be of the same generation as the young master! Since he is the old master's grand disciple and the young master's junior nephew, that means that he is my junior as well … "
Sun Qiang thought for a moment, "As his elder, isn't it easy to call him over for help? Besides, I'm an elder. If I go to his place, he should treat me well and serve me good wine and meat! "
The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He felt that the young master had given him a good job.
"Un, the Poison Temple isn't a safe place. You must be careful!"
Seeing the other party's delighted expression, Zhang Xuan reminded him.
"Young master, rest assured!" Sun Qiang nodded.
"How about this, I'll give you a surge of zhenqi. If someone were to poison you, you should be able to deal with it."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan flicked his finger, and the Heaven's Path zhenqi entered the other party's dantian through his meridians.
