"Drink?" Wu Zhen was taken aback. "Isn't the medicine supposed to be applied externally?"
Yesterday, when Bi shi's arm was pierced by a dagger, the medicine was effective when applied externally. Why did it have to be consumed by him instead?
"Depending on the severity of the injury, the medicine is divided into two categories. If one were to use it incorrectly, not only would it be ineffective, it might even worsen the injury!" Zhang Xuan explained casually.
In any case, there wasn't much 'medicinal wine' left in the gourd. Thus, he decided to fool the other party first. By the time he wanted to investigate the matter, the medicinal wine would already be gone.
"There's such a saying?" Wu Zhen was doubtful.
"It's not like you didn't see how effective it was when I used it yesterday... If it's ineffective, it must be the wrong method!"
Zhang Xuan's face wasn't red at all. "You said it yourself that you weren't the one who used it. It must be the person who used it. That's why it's ineffective!"
"Is that so?" Wu Zhen was still a little hesitant.
"Take a sip, take a sip!" Zhang Xuan smiled.
"Alright, if it doesn't work, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Harrumphing coldly, Wu Zhen raised the gourd and drank a mouthful.
As the wine flowed down his throat, he immediately felt a surge of warmth flowing through his abdomen and throughout his entire body. A moment later, all of the bruises and pain on his body disappeared without a trace.
"This..."
Wu Zhen widened his eyes in disbelief.
Only after experiencing it for himself did he realize how fearsome this Saint recovery medicine was.
He was beaten up badly yesterday, and he had used both externally and consumed the medicine, but it didn't seem to work at all. Today, he returned with reddened eyes. He thought that Zhang Shi's Saint medicine was a fake, but who could have thought that it would be so formidable?
To be able to make a full recovery in an instant and recover from all of his injuries … This was way too heaven-defying!
"Am I right?"
Seeing that Wu Zhen's injuries had recovered, Zhang Xuan nodded. "It must be the person who treated you using the wrong method. Why don't you ask her where her injuries are and see if she applied it externally or consumed it? I'll analyze it for you."
"Alright!" After a moment of hesitation, Wu Zhen nodded.
This matter concerned his reputation. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, he would be labeled as a swindler for nothing.
Picking up the wine gourd, he turned around and walked toward the Sixth Princess.
"Sixth Princess, you've misunderstood me. This bottle of medicinal wine is not useless, it's just that you used the wrong method!"
After receiving Zhang Shi's guidance, Wu Zhen was filled with confidence. His every action was filled with elegance.
"Using the wrong method?" The Sixth Princess frowned when she saw that this guy was so confident after chatting with Zhang Shi for a while.
"That's right. Just tell me where you're hurt. Don't worry, I just need to take a look and determine the root of the problem. Then, I'll know whether to apply it externally or take it orally. I guarantee that you'll recover immediately!"
Raising his head, Wu Zhen felt that he had once more won his trust.
"Where are you hurt? Take a look at it? "
The Sixth Princess' face was as red as blood.
You did it on purpose, didn't you?
My injuries were caused by Zhang Shi. After chatting with him for a long time, you came over to ask about it and even wanted to take a look at it …
In other words, you want to see my … butt?
"That's right. As long as I can determine the location and condition of your injury, I'll be able to determine whether you should apply it externally or take it orally. You must have used the wrong method yesterday, that's why it didn't work …"
Chuckling, Wu Zhen was just about to continue teasing the other party to let her know that he had been wrongly accused yesterday when he suddenly felt his vision darken. A slap flew straight toward his face.
Pah!
The resounding slap sent Wu Zhen spinning twice on the spot with a dumbfounded look on his face.
"If you want to take a look, I'll beat you to death today …"
With a livid face, the Sixth Princess sent a kick toward the fellow standing before her.
Peng!
Before Wu Zhen could react, he was already sent flying, crashing onto the ground.
"Sixth Princess, why did you hit me? What happened to me … "Wu Zhen cried.
Out of goodwill, he gave the medicinal wine that he couldn't bear to use to the princess before him. He thought that he would be able to please the other party, but he ended up being beaten up the previous day. It wasn't easy for him to figure out the reason behind it, and he tried it himself, only to be beaten up once more …
What in the world is going on?
I really did it out of goodwill, but why am I so unlucky?
"Luo Qiqi, hurry up and plead for me …"
Struggling to his feet, Wu Zhen saw that the Sixth Princess was still charging at him furiously, intending to continue beating him up. Frightened, he hurriedly pleaded for help.
"How dare you tease the Sixth Princess? Serves you right!" Luo Qiqi harrumphed.
She had heard the previous conversation as well. This fellow actually dared to look at the Sixth Princess' buttocks. Putting aside getting beaten up, even being beaten to death would be a light punishment.
"Wu Zhen, how dare you tease the Sixth Princess? You're courting death!"
By the side, Xing Yuan finally understood what the fellow before him had done. Roaring furiously, he rubbed his palms together, ready to make a move.
He was a loyal fan of the Sixth Princess … and she had always been by his side. Yet, this fellow actually dared to tease her. Aren't you looking down on me?
"…" Wu Zhen cried.
I … really just wanted to do something good …
"This …"
Watching as Wu Zhen walked over and was pummeled viciously, Zhang Xuan was completely bewildered.
As expected of a genius from the Master Teacher Academy. His mood was indeed unpredictable, and he couldn't be fathomed with common sense.
…
"Cough cough, since everyone is here, let's head to the Cleansing Lake!"
In the end, Emperor Ye Wentian couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the geniuses.
"Let's go!"
Knowing that it was getting late, the crowd hurriedly followed behind Zhang Xuan.
The Cleansing Lake wasn't located in the royal palace, not even in Huanyu Capital. Instead, it was located at the border between the Verdant Mountain and the Dragon-scaled River, and it was heavily guarded by the Huanyu royal family.
Stepping onto the aerial spirit beasts that they had prepared beforehand, they flew for several dozen minutes before a place where spiritual energy was concentrated appeared before their eyes.
The Verdant Mountain resembled a massive dragon, and the Dragon-scaled River resembled a galaxy embedded in the ground.
The dragon drank from the river, and the stars shone upon the world.
With a single glance, it was clear that this was a natural Spirit Gathering Formation. Furthermore, the dragon carried the ability to summon clouds and rain, allowing it to soar into the sky at any moment. As such, the spiritual energy here was much more gentle, and it was more beneficial to one's soul.
"Incredible!"
After observing for a moment, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
It was no wonder why it could become the capital of a Tier-2 Empire. This Cleansing Lake was indeed extraordinary.
It was much more powerful than the Spirit Gathering Formation he had constructed.
They slowly descended.
"The Cleansing Lake is right ahead. Before entering, I'll distribute the Spirit Cleansing Incense according to the quota and time we agreed upon!"
Ye Wentian explained.
Following which, a guard walked over with a total of thirty Spirit Cleansing Incense in his hands.
Unlike ordinary incense, this incense looked more like a metal that could float in the water and burn on its own to determine the amount of spiritual energy in the Lake Eyes.
Hongfeng Empire had obtained three Lake Eyes, so there were a total of nine Spirit Cleansing Incense. Zhang Xuan took three of them.
A Lake Eye could only last three days, so three was sufficient for him.
By the time they were done distributing the Spirit Cleansing Incense, it was already nearing noon.
"Zhang Shi, I have something to talk to you about!"
Seeing that the Cleansing Lake was about to open, Zhang Xuan was just about to follow Ye Qian and the others over when he heard a voice by his ear. Turning around, he saw Xing Yuan standing before him.
Wu Zhen was looking for him, and now this fellow was here as well. What was he up to?
But since the other party had something to say, it wouldn't be good for him to turn him down.
The duo walked to a corner where the crowd couldn't see.
The moment Zhang Xuan found his footing, Xing Yuan went straight to the point, "I know that you have a bet with the Sixth Princess!"
"That's right!" Zhang Xuan didn't deny it.
During the first bet, this fellow was right in front of him and saw with his own eyes that the Sixth Princess whom he liked had become his maidservant.
"Admit defeat! Don't let the Sixth Princess see through it! "
Xing Yuan looked at him.
"Admit defeat?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
He was wondering why the other party was looking for him, but to think that it was for him to admit defeat.
"That's right. As long as you admit defeat, you can name your conditions!"
Xing Yuan waved his hands grandly and harrumphed.
"Name your conditions?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
"That's right!"
Xing Yuan nodded.
"Alright then. The bet between the Sixth Princess and me is ten thousand middle-tier spirit stones. I believe you should know about this as well, and it's the same for this bet as well … How about this, if you can give me a high-tier spirit stone, I'll admit defeat!"
Zhang Xuan said calmly.
To him, he could control the rate at which he absorbed the spiritual energy in the Cleansing Lake. If he could earn a high-tier spirit stone from this bet, he would have made a huge profit.
Even though a single high-tier spirit stone was worth ten thousand middle-tier high-tier spirit stones, it was still impossible to buy one even if one wanted to.
"A high-tier spirit stone?"
Xing Yuan's lips twitched.
This was simply too valuable. Even his clan wouldn't be able to afford it easily.
"It's fine if you don't agree to it … In any case, the Sixth Princess will have to pay me ten thousand middle-tier spirit stones if she loses …"
Zhang Xuan.
Even though ten thousand middle-tier spirit stones couldn't compare to a high-tier spirit stone, at the very least, it was enough to ensure that he wouldn't lose.
"Alright, I agree!"
Gritting his teeth, Xing Yuan said, "As long as I complete the mission and return to the academy, I will be rewarded with a high-tier spirit stone. I can give it to you, but... you must keep this a secret for me. You mustn't speak of this matter!"
"Deal!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
At most, he would just have to waste three days of effort to earn a high-tier spirit stone. That was a huge profit.
Not to mention, this way, he wouldn't offend Xing Yuan, and it would appease the Sixth Princess.
Just as the duo finished their discussion, a loud explosion sounded. Following which, a surge of concentrated spiritual energy spread into the surroundings, as though a massive Spirit Gathering Formation had been activated.
"Look!"
Someone among the crowd shouted.
Hurriedly turning his gaze forward, he saw a pillar of concentrated spiritual energy soaring into the heavens. A refreshing aura gushed forth from it, and with just a breath of it, one would feel their soul trembling, as if they were on the verge of a breakthrough.
In an empty space not too far away, a massive lake gradually appeared. The spiritual energy within it was boiling, and it seemed as though massive dragons were roaring furiously. From the looks of it, it seemed as though they would burst forth at any moment.
Surrounding the lake were ten whirlpools of similar sizes. Each of them had a diameter of two meters, and they sat quietly in the surroundings, as though a crown of jewels.
"The Cleansing Lake … has opened!"
Upon seeing this sight, everyone clenched their fists tightly.
