As soon as Zhang Xuan walked out of the residence, Song Chao and Elder Hu walked in, and upon hearing that Zhang Xuan had left, their faces were filled with regret.
After waiting for a few hours, he still didn't see him. He could only make an appointment to visit another day.
While the duo was waiting, Zhang Xuan arrived at Mingshi Tang's book collection vault.
As the center of the alliance, Myriad Kingdom City was a thriving economy. On top of that, it was also a hub for the exchange of martial arts. All kinds of secret manuals could be found here.
Entering the library, Zhang Xuan immediately saw rows upon rows of books, stretching as far as the eye could see.
In terms of quantity, even Honghai City was far from being a match for it.
"There are so many books here. Even if I were to run, it would take me at least a few days to collect all of them..."
Zhang Xuan pondered.
Even if he were to run, it would take him several days to finish reading all of the books. On top of that, he had to follow Pavilion Master Kang to the Yin-Yang Lake tomorrow.
"Forget it, I'll look through the cultivation technique manuals first!"
Knowing that it was unrealistic for him to browse through all of them, Zhang Xuan walked around the library and found the section for cultivation technique and battle technique manuals.
As a 4-star master teacher, he had the authority to browse through all of the books here. Soon, he found the section for Transcendent Mortal 3-dan cultivation technique manuals.
Rows upon rows, there were at least a thousand of them.
"Flaws!"
Muttering, Zhang Xuan swiped his finger across them and collected them into the Library of Heaven's Path.
"Compile!"
Not too long later, the Transcendent Mortal 3-dan Heaven's Path Divine Art appeared before him.
Knowing that it would take him a long time to cultivate without sufficient spirit stones, Zhang Xuan continued browsing through the books. If there were any Transcendent Mortal 4-dan cultivation technique manuals, he would collect them as well.
Taking a look around, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
There were Transcendent Mortal 4-dan cultivation technique manuals here, but there were only a hundred or so of them. He was still a long way off from being able to compile a Heaven's Path Divine Art.
The strongest expert in the League of Nations was only at Transcendent Mortal 4-dan, and cultivation technique manuals of this level were usually in the hands of powerful experts. Only Mingshi Tang had a hundred of them. If it were anywhere else, it would be difficult to find so many of them.
"Let me see if there are any books regarding souls..."
Zhang Xuan didn't feel discouraged even though he couldn't find it. Instead, he started to search for the Secret Book of Souls.
He had inherited Mo Hunsheng's heritage, so he possessed the Soul Oracle Soul Art. However, due to the many flaws in it, he was only able to reach Transcendent Mortal 2-dan.
Since there were all kinds of books here, Zhang Xuan decided to see if he could find any books regarding souls and compile them together. Perhaps, he might be able to forge a higher tier Heaven's Path Soul Art.
An increase in soul force was equivalent to one's own strength.
Walking along the book collection vault, Zhang Xuan scanned his surroundings. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly came to a halt.
"《Methods to Strengthen the Soul》, 《Consonant Spirit realm Details》, 《Clarifying Turbidity realm How to Cultivate the Soul》... These are all notes written by master teachers!"
He casually brushed past it.
The heritage of the soul oracles had gone extinct, so it was impossible for him to find any soul cultivation techniques. However, in order to push for a breakthrough to the Consonant Spirit realm, there were quite a few experts who had left behind notes regarding soul tempering techniques.
Even though they didn't have much to do with the soul, they did touch upon the secrets of the soul, so they could be used to supplement the soul cultivation techniques of the soul oracles.
While Zhang Xuan was browsing through the books, it took him ten to twelve hours before he finally managed to gather several tens of thousands of books regarding the cultivation of the soul.
At this moment, he was feeling extremely fatigued and drowsy.
"Compile!"
After a moment of recuperation, Zhang Xuan fused the knowledge in the books together with the heritage of the soul oracles.
"Hmm? I have Transcendent Mortal 3-dan and 4-dan cultivation technique manuals... "
Taking a look at the compiled books, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in agitation.
He hadn't harbored much hope in fusing these books together, but who could have thought that it would be so effective? He had managed to supplement the Transcendent Mortal 3-dan and 4-dan cultivation technique manuals.
In other words, if he had sufficient middle-tier spirit stones, he would be able to cultivate his soul cultivation to Transcendent Mortal 4-dan, surpassing his current cultivation realm!
"Not bad..."
Zhang Xuan's lips curled up.
He was still a little frustrated that he hadn't managed to gather the Transcendent Mortal 4-dan cultivation technique manuals, but it turned out that he had managed to gather the Transcendent Mortal 4-dan cultivation technique manuals.
"To think that I would struggle for an entire night..."
In the end, an entire night had passed just like that.
Walking out of the book collection vault, Zhang Xuan saw the sun rising from the east.
"Zhang Shi, you're out. The pavilion master is waiting for you in the backyard..."
An apprentice walked up to Zhang Xuan.
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head. Walking to the backyard, he saw that Pavilion Master Kang and Ruohuan gongzi had been waiting for him for quite some time now.
"Prepare to set off!"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, Pavilion Master Kang waved his hands, and a massive aerial spirit beast slowly descended.
It was a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle aerial spirit beast. Most likely, it was Mingshi Tang's or Pavilion Master Kang's mount.
"Un, give me a moment. I would like to bring a student over..." Zhang Xuan asked, "A student?"
Pavilion Master Kang frowned. "The Origin Flame Glacier Plain doesn't belong to the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance. It's an independent power, and I had to pay a heavy price in order to obtain two slots..."
If it was that easy to bring someone over to the Origin Flame Glacier Plain, he would have surely brought Fu Xiaochen and the others along as well. There was no need for him to waste so much time selecting them first.
It was precisely because of this restriction that it was so troublesome.
"Only two slots? Not even one more? "Zhang Xuan frowned.
"That won't do. Even the two slots have to be tested. If the Origin Flame Glacier Plain was that easy to negotiate with, our Mingshi Tang wouldn't be so far behind in every tournament!"
Pavilion Master Kang smiled bitterly.
"Then... How about this? I'll give my slot to my student and have her enter the Yin-Yang Lake. I won't be going!"
Zhang Xuan.
As long as he had enough mid-tier spirit stones, he would be able to raise his cultivation. He didn't really care much about the Yin Yang Pond. Since there were only two slots, he might as well let Zhao Ya cultivate there. Maybe she would be able to break through the shackles of her constitution and increase her strength.
"How can we do that? You're the greatest hope of Myriad Kingdom Alliance in this Master Teacher Tournament, how can we give up on you? "
Hearing the other party's decision, Pavilion Master Kang hurriedly shook his head.
You must be joking!
I'm still waiting for you to break the record. If you don't enter the Yin-Yang Lake, won't I be going to waste all my efforts?
"I have to bring my student along!" Zhang Xuan nodded. "How about this? If the other party insists on making things difficult for you, I can negotiate with them."
"This..."
Pavilion Master Kang shook his head. "You're thinking too lightly of the people of the Origin Flame Glacier Plain. If it was that easy to negotiate with them, things wouldn't be so complicated! Actually, you can't blame them for that. There's a limit to the number of people who can enter the Yin-Yang Lake each time it opens. Even they can't accommodate their own people, needless to say, outsiders. "
Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.
Having read quite a few books, he knew that there was a limit to the number of people who could enter the Yin-Yang Lake. If there were too many people cultivating in the Yin-Yang Lake, it would be easy for the lake to be drained.
Thus, the reason why the Yin-Yang Lake had such a limit was for long-term development.
"Forget it, you should bring her along for now. If it really doesn't work out, I'll negotiate with them!"
Seeing the determined attitude of the young man before him, Pavilion Master Kang rubbed his glabella and said.
"Un, let's play it by ear. Perhaps, we might be able to find a slot!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Along the way, he had seen many things, and he had turned the impossible into a possibility. Even if the other party said that the people of the Origin Flame Glacier Plain were difficult to deal with, as long as they were human, he would still be able to find a flaw in them.
"Un!"
Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan had an apprentice call Zhao Ya over. Then, the four of them got onto the back of a spirit beast and flew out of Myriad Kingdom City.
When he returned to the residence yesterday, he instructed the Demon Cinque Beast to take care of the others. Given its strength and his identity as a 4-star master teacher, no one should dare to cause trouble for him.
Not to mention, there was Zhao Feiwu, the princess of the alliance, to look after them.
Thus, he wasn't too worried about the safety of Zheng Yang and the others.
As for the Soulrouse Grass, it couldn't be placed in a storage ring, so he didn't bring it along. Instead, he left it to Wang Ying and Sun Qiang to take care of it.
Their departure this time was a secret. Even Mingshi Tang didn't know much about it. Otherwise, if the news were to leak and the other powers were to interfere, it would be troublesome.
Of course, the results of the League of Nations had always been poor. Those who were qualified to enter the top ten were all focused on their opponents. How could they possibly have the time to bother with a power that was ranked at the bottom?
...
The four of them sat in the room on the back of the spirit beast. Looking at Zhao Ya, the bizarre expression on Pavilion Master Kang's face grew deeper and deeper.
"Zhang Shi, the physical constitution of your student... probably isn't simple!"
After observing for a moment, Pavilion Master Kang couldn't help but ask.
As a 4-star pinnacle master teacher, his eye of discernment was extraordinary. Even though Zhang Xuan had told Zhao Ya to conceal her Pure Yin Body, he was still able to see through it.
"Pavilion master, you have a sharp eye of discernment. Zhao Ya possesses the Pure Yin Body. That's why I wanted her to cultivate at the Yin-Yang Lake!"
Zhang Xuan didn't deny it.
"As expected..."
Pavilion Master Kang's breathing hastened.
As the head of Mingshi Tang, he knew how fearsome the unique constitution was. A student with the Pure Yin Body, and from the looks of it, it seemed like she had already awakened a portion of it.
It was no wonder why Zhang Shi insisted on bringing her to the Yin-Yang Lake, even going to the extent of wasting his own opportunity. It was indeed worth it to have such a talented student.
"The Pure Yin Body is one of the unique constitutions that one possesses. Once awakened, one's body will become flawless, and one's cultivation will soar by leaps and bounds..."
As Pavilion Master Kang spoke about the uniqueness of the Pure Yin Body, his eyes lit up. After a while, he turned to Ruohuan gongzi and said, "Alright, there's no need to waste your time. Ruohuan, give your slot to her!"
"What?"
Ruohuan gongzi's eyes widened in shock.
You all can continue chatting... What does this have to do with me?
It wasn't easy for me to get a slot... Yesterday, when I heard that they were going to the Yin-Yang Lake, I prepared everything. Yet, because he had to bring his student along, he didn't allow me to go?
"Teacher..."
Ruohuan gongzi turned to look at Pavilion Master Kang anxiously.
"Alright, this matter has been decided. Master will not treat you unfairly and will give you a certain amount of compensation!"
Pavilion Master Kang made up his mind.
Zhang Shi had to raise his cultivation as soon as possible. After all, only with sufficient strength could he stand out in the Master Teacher Tournament.
If he didn't possess sufficient strength, he would surely be at a disadvantage in the tournament.
The Pure Yin Body of his student was even more important.
Thus, he could only give up on his student.
"..." Ruohuan gongzi burst into tears.
