By the time the Xuanxuan Faction was established, it was already daybreak.
The Xuanxuan Faction was only a faction for freshmen, so there was no need for them to pay any membership fees or Academic Credits. However, it had a strict organizational structure, and as long as it worked, it would be able to bring in more profits for the faction.
Of course, these were all still in the midst of discussion.
Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to worry about it, so he tossed Ruohuan gongzi, Luo Xuan, and the others back to the Elite Sector.
Before Zhang Xuan could even rest, he heard a knock on his door. One of the seniors in charge of managing the Elite Sector was standing in front of the door.
"Zhang Shi, someone said that he was looking for you, so I brought him over!"
Zhang Xuan turned around and saw a plump man walking up to him. "Young Master!"
Seeing that it was Sun Qiang, Zhang Xuan greeted him politely before leading him into the residence. "I'll be troubling you then!"
"What happened?"
He had arranged for Sun Qiang and the others to stay in the residence a few days ago. For them to suddenly come looking for him, could something have happened?
"It's Pavilion Master Wei Changfeng. He came to look for you after dealing with the affairs in the Spirit Emporium," Sun Qiang said.
"Look for me? Didn't I tell him to listen to your arrangements? Did he refuse to listen to me? "Zhang Xuan frowned.
After wreaking havoc in the Spirit Emporium, he had subdued Wei Changfeng, and he had told him to follow Sun Qiang's arrangements after dealing with the affairs in the Spirit Emporium.
"No, it's him … who insisted on meeting you, so I had no choice but to come over!" Sun Qiang said.
It wasn't easy for the young master to enter the Master Teacher Academy, and it took him quite a bit of effort to find him.
"He insisted on meeting me?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"Indeed. I asked him what it was, but he refused to tell me! He said that he would only speak after seeing you, so there was nothing I could do about it, "Sun Qiang said with a bitter smile.
"This … Alright then, let's go and take a look!"
Since a Saint realm expert like Wei Changfeng made such a request, there must be a reason behind it. Thus, Zhang Xuan said no more and headed out of the academy together with Sun Qiang.
It didn't take long for them to return to the courtyard where Sun Qiang and the others were staying.
"Young master!"
Upon seeing him arrive, Wei Changfeng immediately came forward to welcome him.
It had only been a few days since they last met, but the boss of the Spirit Emporium seemed to have aged several years in the blink of an eye.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
The other party was a Saint realm expert with a lifespan of a thousand years. As long as he didn't do anything that would harm his life, it was impossible for him to age so quickly!
On the surface, he looked a few years older, but he had probably consumed at least a few decades of his lifespan.
Thump!
Without any hesitation, Wei Changfeng kneeled onto the floor and pleaded, "Young Master, please save my daughter. She … is on the verge of death!"
"Hmm?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Through the Library of Heaven's Path, he had deduced that the reason why Wei Changfeng was collecting artifacts was to save his kin. Logically speaking, given how many artifacts he had collected, he should have been able to hold on even if he was severely ill. Why would he be on the verge of death in just a few short days?
Artifacts were lifeless, but their spirits could survive. As long as nothing too serious happened to them, they should be able to hold on for several years or even decades.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Xuan wasn't in a hurry to make a move.
"I don't know either. She was initially fine, but two days ago, her vitality suddenly deteriorated, and the spirit of the artifacts became useless. I beseech Young Master to save her!" Wei Changfeng said with reddened eyes.
For so many years, he was willing to do anything in order to ensure his daughter's survival. If he really couldn't hold on any longer, he probably wouldn't want to live anymore.
This young master was able to see through his condition with a single glance, and he had displayed many miraculous means as well. Perhaps … he might really be able to save his daughter.
This was the only hope he had.
"Bring me to her!"
Zhang Xuan knew that words were useless. He had to see it with his own eyes to be sure.
"I have already brought her over. She's in my room …" Wei Changfeng hurriedly pointed.
Fearing that the young master wouldn't be able to make it in time, he had brought his daughter over to live with him.
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded before walking in.
The residence that Sun Qiang had found only had eight rooms, and none of them were spacious. Pushing open the door, Zhang Xuan realized that it was around a dozen square meters in size, and it was a little dark.
By the side of the room was a wooden bed, and lying on it was a fourteen to fifteen-year-old girl. Her body was thin, and her face was pale. Her hair was slightly yellow, and her eyes were tightly shut. She was unconscious.
"She's seriously ill!"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
The girl before him seemed to be gasping for air. Under the Eye of Insight, he could see that her vitality was fading, and all of her meridians were devoid of life. It seemed like she would fall into a coma at any moment.
It was no wonder why Wei Changfeng was so anxious. The girl before him was indeed on the verge of death. If he didn't treat her soon, it was hard to say whether she would be able to last till nightfall.
"Previously, she was still conscious enough to speak, and if she couldn't take it anymore, she would consume the spirit of an artifact to sustain herself for a period of time. However … since two days ago, the spirit has become useless. She has been unconscious for a very long time …"
Wei Changfeng was anxious as he explained the symptoms to Zhang Xuan.
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded. He took a closer look at the other party's condition before shaking his head helplessly.
His comprehension of the Way of Medicine had stagnated at around 4-star. Even with the Eye of Insight, he wasn't able to pinpoint the exact cause of the other party's illness unless he continued reading.
However, he didn't have enough time.
Thus, he could only rely on the Library of Heaven's Path.
Zhang Xuan reached out and placed his palm on the other party's wrist.
The young lady's skin turned cold, as if a block of ice.
Focusing his mind, Zhang Xuan willed in his mind.
Weng!
A book materialized.
Cultivators were unconscious and had no subjective consciousness. Just like treasures, as long as one touched them, a corresponding book would be produced.
Zhang Xuan quickly flipped it open.
"Wei Ruyan, from Qingyuan City, Innate Poison Body …"
The contents of the book were imprinted into his mind.
"Innate Poison Body? That lass actually possesses an innate constitution? "Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Innate constitutions were extremely rare, and he had only met Zhao Ya and Yuan Tao along the way. He didn't think that the unconscious young lady would possess one as well.
The Innate Poison Body is suitable for cultivating as a poison master. However, in her current state … it's hard to say whether she'll be able to survive or not!
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Innate constitutions were indeed formidable, but before they were awakened, they were no different from ordinary humans. They were subject to illness and death.
It was clear that the young lady hadn't awakened her constitution yet, so it didn't make much of a difference whether she was alive or not.
Back when he was at the Poison Temple in the Red Lotus Ridge, he had seen records of such constitutions in books. However, none of them were detailed, such that even he didn't know how to awaken it or what kind of effects it would bring.
Paying no heed to the other party's constitution, Zhang Xuan continued reading.
"… Her foundation was damaged by a Saint realm expert when she was still in her mother's womb. As a result, her soul and body were damaged. Flaws: … "
"Soul and Blood Deficiency?" Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
Soul and Blood Deficiency, as the name suggested, meant that one's spirit, soul, and blood (physical body) were significantly different from those of ordinary humans. Usually, it was due to a lack of energy when one was still in their mother's womb. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for such a person to survive. In fact, they might not even be able to give birth.
Yet, not only did the young lady before him manage to give birth, she even managed to live to this age … How did she manage to do it?
"Given Ruyan's condition, it would have been difficult for her to even give birth. It was my wife who drained her entire body of energy to preserve her life, allowing her to give birth. However … she didn't survive either!"
As if reading Zhang Xuan's thoughts, Wei Changfeng seemed to have recalled something, and with a sorrowful look on his face, he said, "Ruyan is her life and hope. Even if I have to die, I can't allow anything to happen to her!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
He could empathize with Wei Changfeng's state of mind.
For the sake of his daughter's survival, his wife had drained her entire body of blood and even died as a result. As a father, if he couldn't even protect his daughter, how could he face his deceased kin in the future?
Thus, over the years, no matter what price he had to pay, he didn't hesitate at all.
"Young master, can Ruyan … still be saved?"
After saying those words, Wei Changfeng turned to look at Zhang Xuan worriedly.
"Her vitality is almost completely depleted. It'll be difficult to save her!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
After reading through Wei Ruyan's books, Zhang Xuan also felt that the situation was a little troublesome.
This was no longer just a problem of the Soul and Blood Deficiency. In the past few years, she had eaten too many nourishing foods, and her body was unable to withstand the nourishment.
Coupled with the weakening of his soul, it could be said that he had reached the point where he was at the end of his rope.
It was no wonder why even 6-star pinnacle physicians were unable to save her, and she could only rely on the spirit of artifacts to prolong her life. Even Zhang Xuan was at his wit's end when he found out the root of the problem.
"Young master, I beseech you to make a move. As long as Ruyan can be saved, I'm willing to do anything for you!"
Wei Changfeng hurriedly said upon hearing that the young master had yet to turn him down completely.
"Since you've pledged your loyalty to me, I naturally won't refuse if I can do it. However, not only is her body weak right now, her soul is also too weak. If I want to save her, I must first wake her up. In order to wake her up, her body needs to be stronger …"
Zhang Xuan rubbed his brows.
The reason why the other party had fallen unconscious was because his body could no longer support the circulation of his soul. At this moment, his body was like a broken sack, and his soul was like water, unable to contain it at all.
But … without a soul, one would not be clear-headed, and there was no way to heal one's physical body.
This was because replenishing one's Qi and blood required the cooperation of one's willpower. If one's willpower could not hold on, it would be useless.
To replenish one's physical body, one needed a clear soul, and a clear soul needed the support of one's physical body … Wei Ruyan was caught in a dilemma.
Even he felt a headache coming on.
"Then what should we do?"
From Wei Changfeng's perspective …
Even though he had never taken the physician examination, his standard was on par with most 5-star and 6-star physicians. Young Master didn't need to say anything to know about his daughter's situation.
Could it be that even the young master couldn't do anything about it?
Was he really going to see his daughter die before his very eyes?
"Don't worry, I can think of a way to keep her alive … However, I don't think she'll be able to hold on for too long. The best way is to find a medicinal herb that can nourish one's soul. As long as I can find a way to nourish her soul and wake her up, the rest should be much easier! "
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment.
