Everyone was dumbfounded. Lu Zhan was so shocked that he almost passed out on the spot.
He didn't recognize the other party, but he was just talking to the other party a moment ago. Why did he... suddenly lose his guard and run off to the herb garden to touch it?
If you don't know anything about herbology, you can ask. Even if you don't ask, don't you know what's going on when you see so many people not moving?
It was one thing to touch the Earth Vein Spirit Vine. After all, the Earth Vein Spirit Vine was massive. Putting aside touching it, even slashing it twice with a saber wouldn't kill it. However... those spirit herbs were not to be touched!
Just as Zhang Xuan was anxiously thinking about how he could explain the situation, the young man suddenly turned around, clapped his hands, and looked at him calmly.
"Oh, I would like to see if I can treat this Earth Vein Spirit Vine!"
"Treatment?" Lu Zhan vomited blood.
Even a 4-star master teacher would have to be wary of your esteemed standing, but... after chatting for so long, you realized that you know nothing about herbology at all. If you can really treat a herbologist just by touching it, how can herbologist clans continue to exist in the world?
If you want to touch me, then touch me. If you're curious, then say that you're curious. Why do you have to say that you're treating me?
Can't you see that so many people are helpless?
"How arrogant!"
"Who are you? Spouting nonsense here? If it could be treated so easily, Elder Liu, Elder Lu, and the others would have given suggestions long ago. Would there be a need for a brat like you to spout nonsense? "
"Where did this guy come from? Medicine Master Chen, is he your man? "
"I don't know him …"
Sure enough, after hearing his words, everyone started to discuss and snort coldly.
There were so many herbalists, yet none of them were able to see the illness. What could a guy who was not even twenty years old be able to see?
What shameless boasting!
Garden Owner Xue was also taken aback. Frowning, she looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully, "Did you notice something?"
"I did notice something, but... there are still some matters that require Garden Owner Xue's cooperation!"
The young man said.
"Cooperate? As long as it's within my means, I'll definitely do it! "Garden Owner Xue nodded.
Even though he shared the same thoughts as the others, not harboring much hope for the young man before him, he still wanted to give it a try.
"Alright then …"
The young man was a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly. "Can you … show me a few punches?"
"Boxing?"
Garden Owner Xue was stunned.
The others were also stunned.
He thought that there would be some kind of request, but to think that Garden Owner Xue would be the one doing the punching!
Aren't you here to see the Earth Vein Spirit Vine? What's the point of punching?
Why does it sound like a monkey show … Give me two punches and I'll throw you a peach …
"How dare you! How dare you make fun of the yard master? "
"Courting death!"
Hualala!
The young scions of herbalism clans surrounded him.
Garden Owner Xue was a famous figure in the entire Myriad Kingdom City, as well as the owner of the number one herb garden. To ask her to punch him twice as if it was a joke... Are you trying to provoke me?
"Everyone, please calm down. There must be some misunderstanding …"
Lu Zhan couldn't help but step forward.
There was a high chance that this Brother Zhang was a 4-star master teacher. Putting aside these people, even Zhang Xuan's grandfather didn't dare to offend him.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be? What does treating the Earth Vein Spirit Vine have to do with Garden Owner Xue's boxing? "a young man harrumphed.
"This …" Lu Zhan was perplexed as well. He turned to the young man before him and asked, "Zhang Shi, what's going on?"
"Oh, I've already seen through the symptoms of the Earth Vein Spirit Vine, and I would like to verify it. Garden Owner Xue, you just need to execute two punches for me to take a look!" the young man said.
Naturally, this person was Zhang Xuan.
After examining it with his Eye of Insight, he came to the same conclusion as everyone else — the Earth Vein Spirit Vine wasn't sick.
Left with no choice, he touched it, and through the Library of Heaven's Path, he noticed that something was amiss.
Following which, he touched a few more medicinal herbs, and he realized that they were suffering from the same symptoms as well.
A thought surfaced in his mind, which was why he made such a request.
"Zhang Shi?"
Hearing the way he addressed them, everyone frowned.
"Yes, Brother Zhang is a master teacher. He must have his reasons for doing so …" Lu Zhan hurriedly said.
"Master teacher?" Taken aback, everyone turned to look at him.
Since he was a master teacher, he shouldn't be spouting nonsense in consideration of his identity!
Furthermore, it was common for master teachers to observe others executing battle techniques. Just that … they couldn't understand what this had to do with the illness of the Earth Vein Spirit Vine.
"Alright!" Knowing that the other party was a master teacher, even though Garden Owner Xue was curious about the other party's motive, she still nodded her head.
Driving her zhenqi, she threw a punch forward.
Pipa!
A deafening sonic boom echoed in the air, reminiscent of rumbling thunder. Everyone in the surroundings felt a strong gust of wind blowing against them, and they nearly fell to the ground.
Even though it was just an ordinary punch, it harnessed the power of nature, compressing the air to create a sonic boom. Even Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle experts were incapable of such a feat.
It was no wonder why Alliance Head Zhao was so fearful of her. The strength of this Garden Owner Xue was indeed fearsome!
"Is this alright?"
After executing the punch, Garden Owner Xue retracted her fist and looked at Zhang Xuan calmly.
"Un!" After confirming something, he shook his head and looked at Zhang Xuan once more with an indescribable look of sympathy on his face. "I have already figured out the root of the problem with your Earth Vein Spirit Vine. But before that, I would like to ask you a question … "
Garden Owner Xue and the others turned their gazes over.
They had studied the Earth Vein Spirit Vine for so long, but none of them knew that the master teacher before them could confirm it with just a single look …
Are you for real?
Everyone pricked up their ears, fearing that they would miss out on something. Following which, the young man sighed, "Are you … a pig?"
Pu!
Garden Owner Xue staggered, and she nearly exploded.
"What did you say?"
Boom!
Her aura felt as though it was on fire, ready to burst forth at any moment.
She was a famous expert of Myriad Kingdom City, the garden owner of the Western Herb Garden. Even if you are a master teacher, it's unacceptable for you to insult her!
"He said that Garden Owner Xue is a pig?"
"Isn't it said that master teachers are very reliable and it's impossible for them to spout nonsense?"
"I don't know either …"
…
The crowd by the side also widened their eyes in shock, and they nearly went insane.
To scold Garden Owner Xue as a pig, this fellow was truly audacious. He could be said to be lawless to the extreme.
Lu Zhan also nearly bit his tongue.
He was still able to salvage the situation when he said that you are a master teacher. But to insult you right in front of your face, how could he salvage the situation?
If only he knew that you were so fearless, he wouldn't have met you.
Now that he had incurred Garden Owner Xue's wrath, who knew if she would blame it on the Lu Clan in the future …
Following behind the crowd, Song Chao, who was intending to exchange the middle-tier spirit stones for the middle-tier spirit stones, froze.
As a 4-star master teacher, he possessed a sharp eye of discernment. Even though Garden Owner Xue had only displayed a single move, he could tell that she possessed incredible fighting prowess. Putting aside him, even the elders of the sect wouldn't be a match for her!
To call such an expert a pig …
This Zhang Shi sure was gutsy.
Everyone had different expressions on their faces, but all of them felt that the fellow before them was insane.
"There's no need to panic, let me finish my words!"
Seeing that Garden Owner Xue was on the verge of making a move, Zhang Xuan wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he waved his hands calmly and pointed to the empty space not too far away from the Earth Vein Spirit Vine. "If I'm not wrong, you often cultivate here, right?"
"That's right!"
Garden Owner Xue nodded. However, her rage hadn't subsided yet. If not for the other party being a master teacher, she would have long slapped him to death.
Due to the innumerable spirit herbs in the herb field, it was easier for one to achieve a breakthrough by cultivating here.
"You mean that the Earth Vein Spirit Vine's condition has something to do with my cultivation?"
Frowning, Garden Owner Xue harrumphed.
"Something more than that! There's a huge connection between the two! " Zhang Xuan shook his head. "Let me tell you the cause of the illness. In truth, this Earth Vein Spirit Vine isn't sick, it isn't infested by insects, and it isn't dead either. Instead … it has lost its spirit and soul!"
"Spirit and soul?"
Everyone stood rooted to the ground.
"All living beings possess spirit. Just like Spirit weapons, Spirit medicinal herbs possess their own spirit. As the treasure of the herb field, if the Earth Vein Spirit Vine didn't possess such a unique characteristic, how could it have been possible to distribute the items required by each and every medicinal herb to it? "
Zhang Xuan.
Everyone nodded.
Upon reaching Spirit tier, not only would weapons possess spirit, plants and medicinal herbs would possess it as well.
This was the origin of the so-called spirit herbs.
It was precisely due to this spirit that it would reject cultivators whose zhenqi was incompatible with it, resulting in its death. This was also the reason why it could grow by listening to singing and dancing...
"Without its spirit, the Earth Vein Spirit Vine would lose its most important thing. Naturally, it would carry an aura of death, and it would die at any moment."
"It's true that a spirit herb would die swiftly, just like a human losing their soul. But … what does this have to do with Garden Owner Xue's cultivation?"
Everyone was perplexed.
Instead of answering the question, Zhang Xuan turned to Garden Owner Xue and said, "If I'm not wrong, Garden Owner Xue has been stuck at Transcendent Mortal 4-dan Clarifying Turbidity realm for at least seventy to eighty years!"
"Eighty-seven years!" Garden Owner Xue nodded.
"It would be a lie if she didn't achieve a breakthrough after being stuck at the same level for eighty-seven years! However, Transcendent Mortal 5-dan Consonant Spirit realm is the first hurdle of the Transcendent Mortal 9-dan. It requires one's soul to fuse perfectly with nature to achieve a breakthrough! The reason why Garden Owner Xue hasn't succeeded all this while isn't due to her lack of talent, but that her soul … has been damaged! "
Zhang Xuan.
"Y-you … How did you know?" Taken aback, Garden Owner Xue's body stiffened.
It was just a moment ago that she was furious, intending to kill this fellow. However, upon hearing those words, the zhenqi she had accumulated dissipated, and an indescribable shock overwhelmed her.
It was true that her soul had been damaged before. Otherwise, given her talent, she would have long achieved a breakthrough instead of being stuck at the same level for eighty-seven years!
Just that … this matter was a secret of hers, and she had never told anyone about it. How did the person before her see through it?
"Don't bother about how I know! You know that your soul is damaged and that you are unable to achieve a breakthrough, but you didn't give up like others. Instead, you tried to use other means to mend your wounds!
"I don't know where I got the news, but I heard that the spirit of spirit herbs could be replenished. Thus, I created this herb garden to nurture medicinal herbs. I didn't intend to sell them but to absorb the spirit within them to replenish my soul!
"Even though it was a good idea, it was a pity that I went in the wrong direction from the start! If the spirit of a plant could be used to replenish a human's … wouldn't everyone be able to reach Consonant Spirit realm? "
Zhang Xuan looked at Garden Owner Xue quietly with disappointment in his eyes. "As a grandmaster herbologist, despite spending so much time with spirit herbs, you still failed to see through this …"
"If it isn't a pig … then what is it?"
