The Soulcalming Grass could calm one's soul and calm one's mind.
The Sentiment Drowning Flower could calm one's mind, and even one's emotions would fade away.
These two medicinal herbs were extremely rare, such that even the League of Nations couldn't find more than a handful of them. To obtain one of them, and it was a living, five-hundred-year-old one at that...
"This... I'm not too sure either. However, when we arrive at the Alliance Head Residence, you can ask my father about it. Even if he doesn't know, he should be able to help you look into it!" Zhao Feiwu said.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
The lady before him was only a gravely ill princess. No matter how well-read she was, it was impossible for her to know much about these rare medicinal herbs. On the other hand, her father, Alliance Head Zhao, was different.
With the entire Alliance Head in his grasp, it would be a walk in the park for him to look for a single medicinal herb.
Understanding this, Zhang Xuan didn't ask any further. Instead, he stood quietly before the window to reinforce his cultivation.
In the past five days, even though his cultivation hadn't reached Transcendent Mortal 2-dan yet, the zhenqi in his body had grown denser and purer.
With the experience of using the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps, Zhang Xuan knew that not only must one's zhenqi be pure, it must be dense as well. Thus, he had been accumulating his zhenqi nonstop for the past few days. At this moment, the zhenqi in his dantian was churning furiously. In terms of zhenqi quantity, it had increased by at least a tenth!
If he were to use the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps, he would be able to maintain an additional two to three breaths to avoid falling from the sky.
Knowing that they had arrived at Myriad Kingdom City, the group continued flying on their spirit beasts, and soon, a majestic building came into sight.
As the core of the League of Nations, the Alliance Head Residence carried an imposing aura. Even before arriving, one could already feel a powerful pressure pressing down on them.
"Even my spirit beast isn't able to fly into the Alliance Head Residence directly. Let's alight here!"
Zhao Feiwu instructed with a smile. The spirit beast beneath her flapped its wings, and soon, they landed on the vast square in front of the Alliance Head Residence.
Leaping down from the back of the spirit beast, Zhang Xuan scanned the surroundings, and he couldn't help but be impressed.
As expected of the core of the League of Nations, not only was the building tall, it was also filled with spiritual energy. Without even taking a look, one could tell that it was filled with all kinds of formations.
If anyone dared to come and cause trouble, the formation alone would be enough to wipe out the entire army without the need for the soldiers to act.
It was no wonder why Zhao Feiwu didn't dare to drive her savage beast in. If she were to do so, she would probably be trapped in the formation before she could even get far.
Looking up, in front of the palace, there were groups of soldiers patrolling. These people were all wearing greenish-gray armor, holding long spears in their hands, and their auras were magnificent.
"Grandmaster Mighty One?"
Taking a look, Zhang Xuan was astonished. These ordinary guards were actually Zongshi realm experts!
In a place like Tianxuan Kingdom, there wasn't a single Zongshi. Even in the Tier 2 Kingdom that Liu Shi came from, there was only a single Zongshi. Yet, in Tianxuan Kingdom, he was only a guard. The disparity between them left one speechless.
After all, the Myriad Kingdom City was a place with a 4-star master teacher. Just by listening to the lecture of such an expert, one would be able to gain a deeper understanding of cultivation, and it would be much easier for one to break through their bottlenecks.
Even if one couldn't listen to the lectures of such experts, the lectures of 3-star and 2-star master teachers were more than sufficient for one to achieve a breakthrough. On top of that, the Myriad Kingdom City was the center of trade, and it was rich in resources and spiritual energy.
Initially, Zhao Ya and the others thought that Zhizun realm experts could be considered as formidable figures in their own right. However, upon seeing that these soldiers were no weaker than them, they couldn't help but feel helpless.
As expected of the capital of the League of Nations, it was indeed fearsome!
"Subordinate pays respect to Princess Feiwu and Lord Jin!"
Just as they were deep in thought, a group of soldiers walked up to them, and a golden-armored general stepped forward to welcome them. Zhao Feiwu's mount was a Transcendent Mortal 3-dan spirit beast, and everyone in the Alliance Head Residence recognized it. Upon seeing it, they immediately knew that the princess had returned.
The aura of the general was indistinct, and he seemed to possess incredible control over his surroundings. Without even taking a look, it was clear that he had already surpassed Zhizun realm, reaching Transcendent Mortal realm.
"Prepare a clean courtyard with abundant spiritual energy for my friends to stay in. Don't neglect them!" Zhao Feiwu waved her hands with an indifferent expression on her face.
It was hard to tell what was going on with her normally, but at this moment, the aura of a princess was on full display.
"Yes!" The general hurriedly nodded, not daring to be negligent.
"Un!" Zhao Feiwu turned around and said, "Zhang Shi, I'll bring you to meet my father!"
"Alright!"
Nodding his head, Zhang Xuan instructed Zhao Ya and the others to follow behind the general before heading to the palace with Zhao Feiwu.
The palace wasn't extravagant, and there weren't too many guards within. On the contrary, it was exceptionally quiet, reminiscent of a tranquil park.
If not for the fact that Zhao Feiwu had brought him here personally and the guards outside, he would have thought that he had come to the wrong place.
"My father doesn't like escorts, so he didn't leave any guards here. Besides, knowing that this is the Alliance Head Residence, I believe that no one will dare to cause trouble here!"
Noticing the doubt in Zhang Xuan's eyes, Zhao Feiwu chuckled.
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
Ever since his reincarnation, he had been to several royal palaces, and all of them were heavily guarded. Yet, this place was so heavily guarded. It seemed like Zhao Feiwu's father had absolute confidence in his own strength.
While chatting casually, the two of them walked through a long corridor before arriving at a large hall.
After having someone announce their arrival, Zhang Xuan walked in.
Upon entering the hall, Zhang Xuan immediately saw a dignified middle-aged man seated at the very center. The aura he emanated was on par with that of the Demon Cinque Beast. Clearly, he had reached Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle.
Hall Master Sai and Hall Master Han whom Zhang Xuan had met previously paled in comparison.
Even though they were both at Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle, there was still a huge gap in their strength.
Take the Demon Cinque Beast for example. Even with the formation set up by Hall Master Han and the others, they were still unable to deal with it.
"Father!" Zhao Feiwu stepped forward.
"Un, you're back!" The middle-aged man nodded his head. Then, his eyes fell on Zhang Xuan, and his eyes lit up.
Due to his superior cultivation and his long tenure in the Physician Guild, he had a disposition that made even the guild leader of the Physician Guild tremble in fear when speaking to him. Yet, this fellow who didn't seem to be in his twenties spoke calmly without the slightest hint of fear.
Just based on this, it was clear that he wasn't an ordinary person.
"You must be Zhang shi, right?" Alliance Head Zhao asked with a smile.
"I am Zhang Xuan, paying respect to the alliance head!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Un!" Seeing the other party's attitude, Alliance Head Zhao was even more satisfied. "I've heard of your deeds. You became a 2-star master teacher before reaching twenty, challenged Tianwu Kingdom's Wall of Dilemma, solved all of the questions, took the appraiser examination, saved Hall Master Han... You even cured my daughter's illness. You are indeed a young hero!"
"Alliance head, you're flattering me!" Hearing the other party's detailed explanation, Zhang Xuan was perplexed at first, but soon, he came to a realization.
Even though his daughter had Jin Conghai protecting her, it was impossible for him not to be concerned about her. It wasn't surprising for him to find out about these matters through some casual inquiries.
Besides, as his subordinate, Jin Conghai would surely report to him as well.
"I have been in charge of the alliance for many years, and I have seen many geniuses. However, it is rare to see someone as capable as Zhang Shi!" Alliance Head Zhao praised.
Just as Zhang Xuan had guessed, Jin Conghai had indeed reported many things to him. Even though there wasn't the matter of the soul oracle tomb, the acknowledgement of Celestial Master Teacher, and so on, his previous experiences were sufficient to shock the alliance head.
To be a 5-star appraiser, quasi 4-star physician, 3-star painter, and 2-star master teacher before reaching twenty...
His many titles and capabilities were more than enough to leave anyone in awe of him.
As the person who wielded the most authority in the alliance, he had seen innumerable outstanding geniuses. However, compared to the young man before him, all of them were as insignificant as fireflies.
After chatting for a moment, Alliance Head Zhao asked, "I believe that Zhang Shi is here to participate in the Master Teacher Tournament as well!"
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Back then, he had promised Su shi and Ling shi that he would participate in the tournament.
More importantly, the prize for the Master Teacher Tournament was extremely generous.
"The Master Teacher Tournament is a gathering of countless geniuses from the twenty-seven branches of Mingshi Tang. It is indeed difficult for one to obtain a good placing. Even if Zhang Shi possesses outstanding talent, it won't be easy for him!"
Speaking of the Master Teacher Tournament, Alliance Head Zhao shook his head with a bitter smile.
He knew that the young man before him possessed unparalleled talent, but it wouldn't be easy for him to obtain a good placing in the Master Teacher Tournament.
If it were that easy, the League of Nations' Mingshi Tang wouldn't have been ranked at the bottom for so many years.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now!"
There were still two months to the Master Teacher Tournament. Knowing that it was still too early to talk about such matters, Alliance Head Zhao shook his head. Turning to Zhang Shi, he said, "May I know how I should express my gratitude to Zhang Shi for saving my daughter? As long as it is within my means, I will surely do my best to fulfill your request! "
"Alliance head, you're being too polite. However... I do have a request to ask of you!"
Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Xuan clasped his fist and said.
Even though the other party was the head of the alliance, he had seen many things in his life. It was impossible for him to feel nervous.
Alliance Head Zhao looked at Zhang Xuan.
"It's like this. I require a unique medicinal herb, and I'm not sure where I can find it in our alliance. I hope that you can help me look into it!"
Zhang Xuan quickly explained the Soulcalming Grass and Sentiment Drowning Flower to Alliance Head Zhao.
"Soulcalming Grass? I've never heard of it before, but... I do know of a Sentiment Drowning Flower that is more than five hundred years old, and it's still alive! "Alliance Head Zhao hesitated for a moment before saying.
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Soulcalming Grass and Sentiment Drowning Flower were the foundation of the Soulrouse Grass. Just a single stalk would suffice.
"However... Even if you know where it is, it won't be easy for you to purchase it..." Alliance Head Zhao shook his head.
"Oh?"
"Calm down, Zhang Shi. You'll understand once I finish my words! The places where the League of Nations has the most medicinal herbs are the herb kings, followed by the Apothecary Guild and Physician Guild. As a master teacher, you should know this even without me saying it. "
Alliance Head Zhao said.
Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
The herb kings were, in fact, medicinal herb merchants. In terms of medicinal herbs, they were definitely the ones who had the most. After them were the Apothecary Guild and Physician Guild.
These two places had a huge demand for medicinal herbs, so they would usually stock up on medicinal herbs.
