The young man before him was still at the Zongshi realm, and there was not much of a breakthrough in his cultivation. Furthermore, there was not the slightest ripple of Soul Energy emanating from his body. It was as if everything he had seen in his mind was fake.
"That's not right …"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had once entered the other party's mind, and not only was it vast and boundless, the other party's soul was also as massive as a mountain. Strictly speaking, the other party's soul could only be stronger than his. He had thought that the other party would be on par with him in terms of soul cultivation after awakening, but why … was there no change at all?
"Is it because he didn't draw his soul out of his body?" A thought popped up in his mind.
It was very difficult to tell the strength of one's soul power when one was awake. Only when one's soul left the body could one take a peek.
"Allow me to impart a soul cultivation method to you. From now on, you should focus on cultivating your soul instead of zhenqi!"
Zhang Xuan guessed in his heart.
Zhang Xuan tapped the other party's glabella with his finger.
Buzz!
The simplified Heaven's Path Soul Art appeared in Lu Chong's mind.
Lu Chong's Zongshi realm cultivation didn't stem from his zhenqi but his Heaven's Path Physical Body, which was enhanced by the poison, complemented with his soul energy. As such, his cultivation was much smoother than that of a zhenqi cultivator.
"Thank you, Teacher!"
After browsing through the cultivation technique in his head, Lu Chong turned to look at his teacher in gratitude.
Although he was in a deep sleep, his soul was trapped in his sea of consciousness. His ears could hear and his skin could still feel.
In other words, ever since he fainted, his teacher knew everything that he had done for him.
Despite being a Zhizun realm cultivator, he was able to stand against a Transcendent Mortal expert in Xuanyuan Kingdom; to purchase the Soulless Metal Humanoid and risk his life to enter the soul oracle tomb; to cultivate the Soulrouse Grass, he split his soul and entered Zhang Xuan's consciousness...
His kindness was as great as the heavens, and he would never be able to repay it in this lifetime.
Not only so, he even gave such a valuable cultivation technique to Zhang Xuan without any reservations …
Teacher, don't worry. I will definitely cultivate properly and not let you down!
Clenching his fists tightly, Lu Chong's gaze turned resolute.
In the past, he was a reckless and flamboyant person. But after the upheaval in his family, he became taciturn. Even if he was grateful now, he wouldn't say it out loud. He would only work harder to prove himself.
After going through the cultivation technique in his head twice and memorizing it, Lu Chong exhaled deeply and sat cross-legged on the floor.
Zhang Xuan didn't leave either. He sat on the side and guarded them.
It was very dangerous for the soul to leave the body for the first time. A little carelessness and the soul would be blown away by the wind in the room. Back then, when Zhang Xuan first left his body, he was in the sealed underground tomb. On top of that, he was cultivating the complete version of the Soul Guiding Formula, so it didn't affect him much. However, Lu Chong had to be careful.
With a thought, Zhang Xuan drew his Primordial Spirit out of his body and began cultivating while observing the surroundings.
After an unknown period of time, Lu Chong's eyes glowed brightly, and an identical silhouette struggled to emerge from his body.
Drawing out his soul!
"Hmm? You're still too weak … "
Zhang Xuan frowned again.
The soul that had emerged from Lu Chong's body wasn't as powerful as Zhang Xuan had imagined. It was as weak as a cultivator who had just drawn his soul out of his body. It was so weak that even a gust of wind could dissipate it.
What was going on?
His sea of consciousness and soul were both so powerful, so why was his soul power so weak after drawing his soul out of his body?
"Teacher!"
Lu Chong's soul had left his body, and the world he saw was vastly different from what he saw with his eyes.
"Your soul is still too weak, so make sure to avoid emotions. Absorb the spiritual energy in this spirit stone and cultivate quickly!"
Zhang Xuan casually tossed a middle-tier spirit stone to Lu Chong, and the simplified version of the Heaven's Path Soul Art entered the other party's mind.
It was difficult for a soul that had just left the body to withstand external pressure. Not just the wind, even the emotions of joy and sorrow would cause one's Primordial Spirit to waver. At such a moment, it was best for one to cultivate as little as possible.
However, with Zhang Xuan by his side, the cultivation technique, and sufficient middle-tier spirit stones, Lu Chong's cultivation conditions were much better than before.
"Yes!"
Stabilizing his emotions, Lu Chong's soul sat before the spirit stone, absorbed the spiritual energy within, and began cultivating.
"His cultivation speed isn't too fast either. Is there something wrong with him?" Zhang Xuan scratched his head.
Lu Chong's cultivation speed wasn't too fast either. It could be said that the world he saw in his mind was completely different from what he saw in his mind.
Initially, Zhang Xuan had guessed that Lu Chong possessed the Acquired Soul Constitution. As long as Lu Chong cultivated, with the powerful soul in his mind, Lu Chong would surely be able to advance by leaps and bounds.
But now, Lu Chong's cultivation seemed to be progressing at a steady pace.
Could it be that... Zhang Xuan didn't possess the Acquired Soul Constitution?
But if that wasn't the case, why would his mind be so vast, and why would his soul and body be so huge?
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan saw that Lu Chong's cultivation had already stabilized, so there was no need for him to continue guarding the other party. Thus, he walked out of the room and looked for Mo Hunsheng to voice his doubts.
Even though this 6-star soul oracle had imparted him the means and cultivation method of the soul oracle, in terms of understanding of the occupation, Zhang Xuan was still far from matching up to the other party.
After all, the other party was a 6-star soul oracle, and he had lived for tens of thousands of years. Regardless of which, it would surely shock the world if word were to spread.
"This... I'm not too sure either. How about this, after Young Master is done cultivating, I'll head over to take a look!"
Mo Hunsheng couldn't figure out what was going on, so he eventually shook his head.
No matter how many rumors he heard, it was still better to see it for himself.
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded. Deciding not to dwell on this matter, he returned to his residence.
It didn't feel like a long time had passed while he was helping Lu Chong cultivate, but in truth, an entire night had passed. Today was the day of the Master Teacher Tournament, so it was about time for him to make some preparations.
Even though middle-tier spirit stones were no longer able to interest him, participating in the tournament was a good opportunity for him to raise his reputation. He mustn't miss it.
Otherwise, it would be much more difficult for him to become a higher ranked master teacher in the future.
"From today onward, you'll be my clone, and I'll be your main body!"
As soon as Zhang Xuan stepped into the room, he saw his clone cultivating.
The clone nodded.
"I'm going to participate in the Master Teacher Tournament, so you can't be here. Otherwise, if someone were to be discovered cleaning the room, it would be hard to explain..."
Zhao Feiwu was the one who found their living quarters, and there were people from the Alliance Head Residence from the League of Nations in charge of cleaning the place. It was one thing for him to be here, but if he were to be absent, wouldn't the cleaners be frightened to death if they saw a Zhang Xuan in the room?
As for disguising as Yang Xuan... Even if his clone could disguise himself as Yang Xuan, without the Library of Heaven's Path, he would be exposed before a high-tier master teacher.
The clone also thought of this problem and said, "I'll enter the storage ring!"
"You can enter?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before a bitter smile appeared on his face.
A storage ring was a vacuum. Any lifeform that entered it would be reduced to jerky. Putting aside a Transcendent Mortal expert, even a Saint would be unable to withstand it!
However, his clone was different. His body was forged using the Nine Hearts Lotus, so he didn't need to breathe. He was impervious to fire, water, and sabers. As such, entering the storage ring wasn't a problem at all.
Zhang Xuan was used to not being able to store any lifeforms in his storage ring, so he quickly came to a realization.
"Keep!"
Knowing that his clone could enter the storage ring, there was nothing for him to worry about. Thus, he stretched out his hand and activated his consciousness.
Hu!
His clone disappeared from sight and entered the storage ring.
As long as he carried it with him, he would be able to avoid a lot of trouble. As for what he would do if Yang shi wasn't in the courtyard... You must be joking! It would be a miracle if a master teacher of his caliber were to be seen so easily.
Walking out of the room and into the lounge, Zhang Xuan saw Pavilion Master Kang, Ruohuan gongzi, and the others waiting for him.
At this moment, Ruohuan gongzi had already reinforced his Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle cultivation. His eyes were glowing brilliantly, and it felt as though he was brimming with vitality.
It seemed like not only had his cultivation risen, his understanding of master teachers had improved tremendously as well.
"The Master Teacher Tournament will be held in the square outside the Alliance Head Residence. Zhang Shi, let's head over!"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, Pavilion Master Kang chuckled.
"Alright!" Zhang Xuan nodded. Just as he was about to follow behind Pavilion Master Kang, a figure suddenly appeared before him.
"Eldest Senior Brother, let me go with you!"
"Senior … Senior Brother?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. Turning around, he realized that Garden Owner Xue was standing in the room as well.
At this moment, Garden Owner Xue's aura was stable. Her soul and physical body were perfectly fused together. She had already reached Transcendent Mortal 5-dan, Consonant Spirit realm!
It was due to the damage to her soul that she had been stuck at Clarifying Turbidity realm pinnacle for many years.
Half a month ago, 'Yang shi' imparted her the solution to her problem, and her years of accumulation allowed her to achieve a breakthrough. Thus, just like the Demon Cinque Beast, she successfully became a Consonant Spirit realm expert.
On top of that, her aura had already reached Consonant Spirit realm primary stage pinnacle, and she would reach intermediate stage at any moment now.
Initially, Zhang Xuan was perplexed, but after some thought, he came to a realization.
In order to treat her soul, she had been absorbing the spirit of the herb garden every single day, and over the years, she had accumulated a massive amount of spirit energy. If Zhang Xuan's guess was right, her cultivation would surely soar within a short period of time, and it wouldn't be impossible for her to reach Consonant Spirit realm pinnacle.
"Indeed. I'm Yang shi's direct disciple, and you're Yang shi's direct disciple... Naturally, I'm of a higher rank than you, so how should I address you?" Garden Owner Xue clasped her fist.
"Ah, that's true!" Only then did Zhang Xuan come to a realization.
That day, when the situation was dire, he knew that it was impossible for him to 'scare' the other party. If necessary, he would have to intimidate her. Thus, he accepted Xue Yiyao as his student and imparted her the solution to her soul.
This way, he would be able to earn her gratitude.
Just as he had expected, a golden book formed in the Library of Heaven's Path, and that was how he managed to smash Sect Leader Bai into a meat patty.
Taking her in... was just an expedient measure, and he had no choice but to forget about it. He didn't expect her to take it seriously.
But then again, she was' Yang shi's' direct disciple, and he was Yang shi's direct disciple. Naturally, a direct disciple would be his senior...
"There won't be any danger in the Master Teacher Tournament, so there's no need for you to worry. Just stay here and guard the area!"
Knowing that the other party was saying this out of goodwill, Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
The Master Teacher Tournament was an event organized by Mingshi Tang, and anyone who dared to cause trouble would be equivalent to going against Mingshi Tang. As such, there shouldn't be any issues with their safety.
"This..." Garden Owner Xue hesitated.
"There's nothing to worry about!"
Waving his hands, Zhang Xuan ignored the other party and followed behind Pavilion Master Kang and the others.
Master Teacher Tournament, I, Zhang Xuan... am coming!
