A few minutes later, Elder Hu and the others recovered from their injuries. Every single one of them looked refreshed, as though they had never been injured before.
"Thank you, Zhang Shi..." The crowd expressed their gratitude.
Even though they had already paid the other party and they didn't owe each other anything, this kind of medical skill was simply too astounding. It was simply unbelievable.
"Since the Demon Cinque Beast has already been tamed by Zhang Shi, it's a waste of time for us to remain here. Farewell!"
Hall Master Han clasped his fist.
His main motive for coming here was to tame the Demon Cinque Beast. Since that fellow had already been tamed by Zhang Shi, there was no reason for him to remain here any longer.
Even though he failed to tame the beast, he had already recovered from his trauma. Even without the Demon Cinque Beast, he was confident that he could defeat Luo Ming and obtain the right to enter the headquarters.
It could be said that he had achieved his goal, and this trip wasn't in vain.
"Farewell!" Zhang Xuan, Master Sai, and the others clasped their fists.
"Zhang Shi, given how talented you are, you should be participating in the Master Teacher Tournament two months later, right? At that time, I'll definitely head over personally to support you! "Hall Master Han chuckled before turning around to leave.
With such a genius, not to mention, a master teacher, it was hard for him not to guess what was going on.
No matter what, he owed the other party a favor. If there was a chance, he had to repay the other party. Besides, such a formidable beast tamer, physician, master teacher, and appraiser... was worth befriending.
After Hall Master Han and the others left, silence fell once more.
"Zhang Shi, should we enter now, or should we rest and recuperate?"
Luo Zhu looked at Zhang Xuan in admiration.
The last time he came here, he had to sneak in, fearing that the Demon Cinque Beast would notice him. Yet, the person before him had actually tamed this infamous fellow. If it was in the past, he wouldn't have dared to imagine such a feat.
Since the Demon Cinque Beast was no longer interfering, they had more time. They could enter whenever they wanted.
"Don't worry, we'll enter after I resolve the problem with the Demon Cinque Beast."
Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Its problem? It isn't injured? "Everyone was bewildered.
This massive fellow possessed ferocious strength and invincible defense. Even when fighting against Hall Master Han and the others, it didn't suffer the slightest setback. Solve the problem?
Resolve what?
"Even though the Soul Devouring Ants don't have much of an effect on normal living beings and humans, they are extremely powerful beings of the cold attribute. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to devour souls. The Demon Cinque Beast has been here for at least a month or two. Even if it doesn't come into contact with it, it should still be affected by it. "
With his hands behind his back, Zhang Xuan said calmly, "Furthermore, the intense battle earlier has caused the yin energy to seep into my heart and lungs. If I don't expel it as soon as possible, it will be difficult for me to advance my cultivation once more!"
"There's such a thing?"
"If that's the case, shouldn't we stay away from these Soul Devouring Ants?"
Hearing that even a powerful lifeform like the Demon Cinque Beast would be affected, everyone was taken aback. Warily, they turned their gazes forward.
At this moment, the Soul Devouring Ants had already eaten all the roasted Deerhorde Beasts and burrowed back into the ground in satisfaction. There was not a single trace left on the ground.
If he hadn't experienced it for himself, he would have found it hard to believe that this strange lifeform that had disappeared for tens of thousands of years not only existed, but was also so strange.
To be able to devour even a formation … That was simply too terrifying.
"It'll be fine as long as it doesn't drink the lake water!"
Zhang Xuan said, "The Soul Devouring Ants are always able to sense the presence of the soul oracle tomb beneath the lake water. Even though the lake water looks clean, there are many corpses of those fellows. One of the main reasons why the Demon Cinque Beast is affected by the yin energy is because it has to drink the lake water."
Everyone came to a realization.
Since those fellows were attracted by the aura of the soul oracle tomb, it was only a matter of time before they noticed the presence of the tomb. Naturally, they would investigate it as well. As time went by, the water became unsuitable for consumption.
"Then … How do we resolve this situation?" Luo Zhu couldn't help but ask.
Even the Demon Cinque Beast was affected by the yin energy. If it was really affected by the yin energy, how could it be resolved?
The others also turned their gazes over. They wanted to know the answer so that they could take precautions.
"Simple, go over there and eat the grass!" Zhang Xuan pointed.
"Eat the grass?" Everyone was taken aback. Glancing at the Demon Cinque Beast, who was still feasting on the grass, they fell into a daze.
Previously, when Zhang Shi instructed the Demon Cinque Beast to eat the grass, they thought that he was intentionally punishing it. However, from the looks of it now, he had another motive.
It was no wonder why this fellow didn't retaliate at all. Instead, it was eating happily.
"If I'm not mistaken, that should be Greenrain Grass. There are plenty of this grass in the forest, and it doesn't possess any attribute. Why would eating it be able to dispel the yin energy in one's body?"
Master Sai was perplexed.
As an appraiser, he possessed vast knowledge. While others might not be able to recognize this grass, he knew it very well.
Greenrain Grass grew in the forest near water sources. It was lush and green, and it didn't possess any attribute or effect. Even apothecaries didn't consider it as a medicinal herb. Why would this grass be able to dispel the yin energy of the Soul Devouring Ants?
Besides, the Soul Devouring Ants didn't exist in the past. Wasn't it too much of a coincidence that this grass grew here?
"This grass doesn't possess any attribute, but it also depends on the environment it grows in. If it grows over there, it won't be of any use!" Zhang Xuan pointed.
Following his finger, they saw that there were plenty of Greenrain Grass by the side of the lake as well.
Everyone blinked their eyes in bewilderment.
The two were only several dozen meters apart, so why wouldn't the grass over there work? Looking at the environment, there wasn't any difference!
Seeing the bewilderment in everyone's eyes, Zhang Xuan shook his head with a smile. "This is where the Demon Cinque Beast goes to relieve itself … To put it simply, this is its toilet."
"Toilet?" Everyone blinked their eyes.
"The Demon Cinque Beast possesses the Dragon Bloodline, and it possesses immense yang attribute. Naturally, the feces it excretes are filled with yang attribute as well. As such, the Greenrain Grass that grows from it naturally possesses this attribute as well."
After explaining, Zhang Xuan turned to the crowd and said, "If you're worried, you can cut a few stalks and carry them with you. If you feel that something is amiss, eat some of them …"
"It's fine …"
"Thank you for your goodwill, Zhang Shi. Since you said that it's fine, I think we should just forget about it!"
Everyone waved their hands in agreement.
It was just a moment ago that they were agitated, but upon recalling that this grass grew from the Demon Cinque Beast's toilet, they lost all interest in it.
Knowing what they were thinking, Zhang Xuan didn't say anything. Instead, he walked up to the Demon Cinque Beast.
At this moment, this massive fellow had already eaten a large patch of Greenrain Grass. The yang attribute energy within its body was burning, and the yin attribute energy within its body was being tempered.
Walking up to it, Zhang Xuan took out a silver needle, pinpointed a spot, and casually pricked it a few times.
Hong long!
With a resounding boom, everyone could feel the energy within the Demon Cinque Beast surging, and its strength was rising rapidly.
"Is it going to achieve a breakthrough?"
Master Sai and Jin Conghai glanced at one another in shock.
At Transcendent Mortal 5-dan Consonant Spirit realm, one's soul would be in harmony with nature, and one's strength would be greatly enhanced.
If the first four dans of Transcendent Mortal, Longevity, Origin Energy, Yin-Yang, and Turbidity, were to temper one's zhenqi and increase one's control over nature, then from this realm onwards, one's soul would be nourished, thus increasing one's strength significantly.
This was precisely the reason why no matter how formidable a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle master teacher was, he was only a 4-star master teacher. Thus, he was unable to produce a [Long Distance Tutelage Jade Token] and reach half 5-star.
Only when one's cultivation reached Consonant Spirit realm would one be able to sever a sliver of their soul and seal it within, allowing them to conduct a lecture anytime and anywhere.
It could be said that the difference between Transcendent Mortal 4-dan and 5-dan was a massive watershed in one's soul.
Countless people were stuck at this step, unable to achieve a breakthrough.
As such, despite the long history of the League of Nations, there were innumerable outstanding geniuses. However, there weren't many who were able to take this step.
Compared to humans, spirit beasts had weaker souls, thus making it harder for them to achieve a breakthrough.
This fellow was already at Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle, and now that its aura was accumulating, it was growing stronger. Could it really break through the bottleneck that everyone was looking forward to and reach 5-dan?
The duo couldn't help but turn their gazes over.
"It won't be able to achieve a breakthrough for the time being!"
Seeing the anxiety in the duo's eyes, Zhang Xuan said calmly, "Everything in the world is fair. Everything is decided by the heavens. The Demon Cinque Beast's physical body is too powerful, so it will be difficult for it to achieve a breakthrough in its soul. Similarly, those with a powerful soul usually won't be able to achieve a breakthrough in their physical body. "
"However … after resolving the yin energy in its body and fusing its yang attribute as one, I also cleared some of its meridians. Thus, its cultivation will surely soar. Even though it won't be able to achieve a breakthrough to Consonant Spirit realm, it should still be able to reach Half-Consonant Spirit!"
After contemplating for a moment, Zhang Xuan said.
"Half-Consonant Spirit?"
"That's still a fearsome feat! If I recall correctly, the old ancestor of the League of Nations was at this realm as well … "
Hearing those words, the duo leaped in shock.
Half-Consonant Spirit was the same as Half-Zongshi and Half-Zhizun. Even though there was no limit to reaching Consonant Spirit realm, it was still unable to break through the final bottleneck.
An expert of this level not only possessed a powerful physical body, but a powerful soul as well. Even a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle expert wouldn't be a match for it.
If the Demon Cinque Beast was already insanely powerful due to its Dragon Bloodline and innate talent, it would be even more fearsome now.
If it were to go on a rampage, even the old ancestor of the League of Nations might not be a match for it.
Incredible!
Hong long long!
Before the duo's astonished gazes, the Demon Cinque Beast's strength finally came to a halt. Just as Zhang Shi had guessed, it hadn't reached Consonant Spirit realm, but Half-Consonant Spirit realm.
With such strength, it was more than sufficient to roam the entire League of Nations fearlessly.
"Roar!"
Knowing that it was due to its master, the Demon Cinque Beast rushed forward excitedly with a respectful look on its face.
In the past, it was afraid that the other party might possess the Pureblooded Dragon Bloodline due to his ability to speak the Dragon Language. But at this moment, it was completely convinced.
If not for the other party, it wouldn't have been able to reach this realm without at least a hundred years of effort.
"Indeed, we're heading to the lake. You'll stand guard outside. If any human or spirit beast dares to trespass, kill them on sight!"
Seeing its attitude, Zhang Xuan knew that this fellow had already pledged its loyalty to him. Thus, he nodded in satisfaction.
The situation below was unknown. Not only must they be careful, they also had to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
Previously, they didn't dare to guarantee their safety. However, with this massive fellow guarding the lake, there was no need for them to be afraid of anyone.
"Roar!" The Demon Cinque Beast nodded.
"Alright, let's set off!"
After assigning the necessary instructions, Zhang Xuan scanned the surroundings before leaping into the lake with Luo Zhu.
Zhao Ya and the others followed closely behind.
After a long journey … the soul oracle tomb was finally right before their eyes.
