A Celestial Master Teacher was acknowledged by the heavens. Once a Celestial Master Teacher drove his Soul Depth, he would be infused with the might of the heavens, forcing others to submit to him.
Throughout history, only Kong Shi had managed to achieve such a feat. Even his direct disciples, known as the Seventy-two Sages, had failed to achieve such a feat. Yet, this man before him was actually a Celestial Master Teacher …
Mu shi felt his body turning cold. He was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
A Celestial Master Teacher was an existence acknowledged by even the heavens, and yet, he actually doubted him …
If he could, he would have slapped himself twice!
"Hu!"
Amidst his shock, the figure before him flung his hands, and the fearsome aura vanished, reverting back to his calm and unfathomable state.
At the same time, he turned around.
He was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. His eyebrows were sharp, and his pitch-black eyes were gleaming with wisdom. Innumerable patterns seemed to be flowing within them.
"Eye of Insight …"
Mu shi shuddered.
While it was said that one could comprehend the Eye of Insight upon reaching 6-star master teacher, only the most talented geniuses were able to do so. It was rare even among the Sage Clans.
Putting everything aside, even Mu shi himself had failed back then.
If he could comprehend the Eye of Insight, he wouldn't have been deceived by others and ended up in his current state.
Not a single one of the Ten Great Master Teachers of the Miryu Empire possessed the ability to do so.
It was no wonder why the other party was able to see through his flaws with a single glance and deduce that he might be expelled from the Mu Clan …
Only the Eye of Insight was capable of such a feat!
At this moment, the doubt in Mu shi's heart vanished, and he felt nothing but admiration for the man before him.
"I have been too rash. Elder, I hope that you can enlighten me so that I can walk out of my trance …"
Astonished, Mu shi didn't dare to put on airs anymore. He immediately bowed deeply, not daring to utter a single word.
"Un."
The middle-aged man nodded. "This is the etiquette that only a junior should have. However, you need not worry, I won't hold it against a junior, so don't resist!"
After saying those words, he raised his finger lightly.
Mu shi felt his body jolting. Following which, he felt a cultivation technique being imprinted into his mind, making it hard for him to forget.
"Soul Impartation?"
Mu shi's face paled.
As a Seven Star master teacher, Zhang Xuan's soul was extremely powerful, and he was capable of performing Soul Impartation as well. However, given how far the distance was, the other party was actually able to imprint the Soul Impartation Art into his mind. Putting aside him, even a Seven Star high-tier or 8-star low-tier master teacher would find it hard to accomplish such a feat!
Terrifying!
If Zhang Xuan had harbored some doubts toward the other party previously, with the other party being a Celestial Master Teacher, the Eye of Insight, and the Soul Impartation Art, all of his doubts had vanished without a trace.
"The Huaihai and Longzhen acupoints are the acupoints for the human body to gather water elemental spiritual energy. If you were still in the Mu Clan, it would be fine if you avoided these two acupoints. However, the metal elemental energy is suppressing your body and the wood elemental energy is withdrawing. You can use these two acupoints to absorb spiritual energy. Water and Wood can restore your strength and completely suppress the chaotic Qi in your body! "
After imparting the knowledge, the elder placed his hands behind his back and said calmly.
At this moment, Mu shi had also finished looking through the cultivation technique that the other party had imparted to him. Even though it was only the basics of cultivation, it pointed straight to the path of cultivation, opening a new door for him.
As long as he continued cultivating diligently, he would be able to suppress the metal elemental energy in his body easily. Perhaps … even after being trapped for three hundred years, he might still be able to advance a step further!
To be able to see through the crux of his cultivation with a single glance and provide him with a solution … the person before him was simply too fearsome!
Bowing respectfully, Mu shi said, "I am deeply grateful for elder's guidance. I am indebted to elder for your guidance. May I know teacher's name?"
Even though the cultivation technique that the other party had imparted to him was simple, it happened to resolve the crux that had plagued him for many years. Considering that he was indebted to the other party for his guidance, it wasn't too much for him to address the other party as teacher.
Besides, if he could acknowledge such a formidable master teacher and receive his guidance, he might just be able to return to the Mu Clan one day.
"Teacher?"
The figure on the other side frowned.
It was as if the other party was displeased to be addressed in such a manner.
Recalling the difference in seniority, Mu shi shuddered and hurriedly said, "I was too rash. Elder is of the same generation as my old ancestor, so I should address you as grandteacher …"
"Ah?"
Hearing the other party change the way he addressed him, the elder was taken aback.
Naturally, the elder was none other than Zhang Xuan. He had disguised himself as Yang Xuan in order to intimidate the other party and resolve the crisis he was in. He had thought that by imparting a cultivation technique to the other party, the other party would become half a teacher to him. Yet, who could have thought that the other party would actually be fooled into acknowledging him as his teacher on the spot!
No matter what, he was a Seven Star master teacher. Even in a Conferred Kingdom, he could be considered as one of the top experts.
Naturally, he was surprised that such a figure would want to acknowledge the other party as his teacher. Thus, he hesitated for a moment, but who knew that this moment of hesitation would cause the other party to misunderstand and address him as grandteacher instead …
The heck!
Wasn't this change a little too fast?
However, since he had already addressed the other party as grandteacher, it would be embarrassing for him to ask the other party to address him as teacher. Thus, Zhang Xuan could only nod and say, "I am Yang Xuan!"
"Yang Xuan …" Mu shi hurriedly nodded as he committed the name of his grandteacher to memory. "May I know where I can find grandteacher if I have any problems in my cultivation?"
"It is fate that brought us together. I have imparted the cultivation technique to you, but fate has already ended. If it is fated, we will meet again. If it isn't fated, then let it scatter like the clouds in the sky. Will you still be able to find the same one tomorrow? "
Zhang Xuan waved his hands casually.
It was truly too tiring to disguise himself before such a master teacher. It was fortunate that it was nighttime at the moment, so it was hard to see through his disguise.
Thus, it was best for him not to meet the other party in the future …
"This …"
Hearing that the other party didn't want to get too entangled with him, Mu shi could only clasp his fist and bow in disappointment.
Lifting his head once more, he saw that the other party had already flown far into the distance, disappearing into the depths of the night.
"Yang Xuan, Yang shi …"
After committing the other party's name to memory, Mu shi exhaled deeply. Only then did he recall that he was here for the Byzantium Helios Beast. Thus, he searched the sky for a long time, but to no avail. Thus, he could only return to the academy helplessly.
…
"That was close!"
Only after escaping from Mu shi's sight did Zhang Xuan heave a sigh of relief.
Never in his dreams could he have imagined that Mu shi would be a descendant of a Sage Clan, not to mention, a Seven Star master teacher.
Given his strength, why would he work for the Spirit Emporium?
"It seems like he was really looking for someone, and he just happened to meet me …"
Zhang Xuan sighed deeply.
Just what kind of luck did he have?
How could he meet such a formidable expert just by leaving his residence? It was fortunate that he had reacted swiftly and managed to fool the other party. Otherwise, he would have died without even knowing how he died.
"Forget it, it seems like my luck isn't too good today. I should return and rest first. I'll think about it after I demolish the Spirit Emporium tomorrow!"
Initially, he was intending to vent his anger on the Byzantium Helios Beast outside the city, but it seemed like his luck wasn't too good.
Reverting back to his original appearance, Zhang Xuan returned to his residence. By then, the Great Violetwing Beast had already subdued the four black-robed men.
Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered with them. After cultivating for a while in his room, he saw that the sun had already risen, and the sky had already brightened.
Even though he hadn't slept for the entire night, he was brimming with energy.
Stretching his back lazily, he walked out of his room.
After breakfast, Zhang Xuan imparted some cultivation techniques to Zheng Yang and the others, and only by the time the sun was high up in the sky did he instruct the Great Violetwing Beast and the four black-robed men to wait in the sky while he and Sun Qiang headed for the Spirit Emporium.
The Spirit Emporium was the hub of treasure trading in Hongyuan City. Even before arriving at its entrance, Zhang Xuan could already see a huge crowd.
"There's a black market here, and one can sell stolen weapons at a lower price than normal. That's why it attracts quite a number of cultivators!"
Looking at the crowd, Sun Qiang explained.
The Spirit Emporium was different from the Mystical Treasure Hall of the Miryu Empire. The latter was a place where the owner of the Mystical Treasure Hall personally gathered the treasures of the other party.
Here, many of the items were obtained by killing people and robbing them. There were also some that were stolen. Because they came from shady sources, the sellers didn't dare to ask for too high a price. When they sold them, they were also sold at a lower price than normal goods.
As such, it attracted quite a number of cultivators.
After all, cultivation was a money-burning activity, and unaffiliated cultivators without any background would rather save whatever they could.
Walking up to the Spirit Emporium, Zhang Xuan saw that it was several dozen meters tall, and it looked majestic and imposing.
"It's actually a complete structure! Perhaps, it might even be a massive celestial designer!"
Taking a look, Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
The Spirit Emporium was extremely tall, but it was built naturally, as if it was a weapon. If he wasn't mistaken, there should be many mechanisms installed within, making the entire building a massive celestial designer.
As expected of the famous treasure trading center of Hongyuan City, it sure was a lavish place.
Putting everything aside, just the Spirit Emporium itself would fetch a hefty price. Without dozens of 5-star celestial designers working day and night, it would be nigh impossible to forge it successfully.
Walking up to the wall, Zhang Xuan touched the wall and complimented it before following the crowd into the depths of the Myriad Anthive Nest.
As expected of a treasure trading center of a major city, its grandeur was indeed extraordinary. As soon as Zhang Xuan walked in, he was immediately captivated by the sights around him.
The hall was filled with all kinds of valuable artifacts. Even though there was no price tag on them, given how many people were scrambling over them, it was unlikely that they would be too valuable.
"Young Master, look!"
While Zhang Xuan was looking at the artifacts, Sun Qiang's slightly nervous voice sounded. He pointed forward.
Following the other party's finger, Zhang Xuan saw a patrol team walking over.
There were six of them in total, and every single one of them possessed a cultivation of Transcendent Mortal 8-dan. The one at the very front was a Transcendent Mortal 9-dan Chrysalis realm expert.
"This patrol team is in charge of maintaining order in the Spirit Emporium. If anyone dares to cause trouble, they will be thrown out …"
Sun Qiang explained with a dry chuckle.
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
Considering how the Spirit Emporium dared to commit such a crime, it was bound to have a formidable background and means. Otherwise, it would have long been destroyed.
"Then …"
Seeing the young master nod, Sun Qiang was perplexed.
Aren't you here to cause trouble?
If even a patrol team possesses such strength, how in the world do you intend to cause trouble?
You will probably be thrown out before you can even say a word!
Knowing what the other party was thinking, Zhang Xuan chuckled. "Hehe, there's no need to fight just to cause trouble …"
Since the Spirit Emporium dared to lay its hands on Sun Qiang and the others, he had to teach them a lesson.
However, was there really a need to cause trouble just to cause trouble?
This was Hongyuan City, the capital of a Tier-1 Empire. On top of that, he was a master teacher and a cultured person. If the other party were to cause trouble here, he would be the one being unreasonable.
"You aren't going to fight? Then … "
Sun Qiang blinked his eyes in confusion.
"Just follow me!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly, not bothering to explain himself. Instead, he scanned the rows of artifacts around him with a glint in his eyes.
There were ores, spirit pills, armor, weapons, formations … In any case, there was basically anything that a cultivator could possibly need here.
The cultivators in the surroundings were all gathered together, looking around in hopes of buying what they wanted.
After walking for a while, Zhang Xuan suddenly stopped, and with a smile, he instructed, "Call an attendant over!"
"Yes!"
Sun Qiang had no idea what the young master was up to, but since the other party had given him the order, he didn't dare to hesitate. Thus, he walked over to the counter.
