"May I help you two?"
Upon seeing the duo, the receptionist at the front desk asked with a smile.
The receptionist was a lady in her thirties. She was dressed in a tight-fitting white physician robe, and her features were rather delicate.
She was also a 5-star low-tier master teacher. Most likely, she was a Grade-2 student, just like Luo Qiqi.
"We would like to meet You, Vice School Head Xu!"
Zhang Xuan went straight to the point.
"Vice school head?"
The lady was taken aback. She turned to Zhang Xuan doubtfully and asked, "Do you have an appointment with him?"
"I don't." Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"My apologies, but Vice School Head Xu is currently busy, so he can't bring you there without an appointment!" The lady shook her head.
As a 6-star high-tier master teacher, even the nobles and officials would have to make an appointment in advance to meet the vice school head of the Master Teacher Academy. How could a mere student meet him so easily?
Judging from the other party's appearance, she seemed to be in her twenties. Most likely, she was only a Grade-1 student. Such an insignificant figure wasn't even qualified to meet a manager, let alone a vice school head.
"Then … how can I get an appointment with him?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"I don't know about that!"
Seeing that the other party was still unwilling to let her off even after she had made things clear, the lady waved her hands in displeasure.
Zhang Xuan scratched his head in confusion.
He had thought that he would be able to meet Vice School Head You, ask him about the medicinal herbs, and negotiate a price to purchase them. Who could have thought that he wouldn't even be able to meet the other party?
But thinking about it, it did make sense. If Vice School Head You was able to meet anyone, he wouldn't be able to cultivate or treat illnesses. Just meeting people would make him extremely busy.
"Right, I have something that I would like to trouble you to pass to Vice School Head You. Perhaps, he might be able to meet me after seeing this!"
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan said.
"My apologies, but I still have some matters to attend to. I'm not a messenger, so I can't help you with this matter. If you really wish to meet Vice School Head You, I'll have to ask you to come back when you are qualified to speak with him …"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was still intending to pass her something, the lady shook her head in displeasure. However, before she could do so, the other party flicked his wrist, and a token appeared in his hand.
On the front of the token, there was an image of a majestic building. It was the Master Teacher Academy...
"Elder Token?" The young lady's heart skipped a beat as she swallowed the words that she was about to say.
As a Year 2 student, she was naturally able to recognize that this was the token that represented one's status as an elder of the academy. How could a freshman possess such an item?
While he was still in shock, the young man flicked his wrist and took out two identical tokens.
"I have three tokens here. Take a look at which one you have a good relationship with the vice principal, and I'll have to trouble you to give it to him!"
Zhang Xuan casually threw the token on the table.
"This …"
Startled, the woman hurriedly flipped one of the pages open, only to see two words written on the back — Mo Zhu.
"Mo Zhu? Dean Mo of the Beast Compound? "
With trembling lips, he opened the second token, and his eyes darkened.
He also wrote a name — Zhao Bingxu.
Dean Zhao of the Crafting School!
"He possesses both School Head Mo and School Head Zhao's tokens at the same time?" With a trembling hand, the young lady flipped the third token over, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Wei Ranxue, the head of the Terpsichore School!
The Ten Great Master Teachers were all proud and lofty figures. Even as a Year 2 student, she had only met them a few times. At most, she would catch a glimpse of them from afar during the academy's anniversary celebrations or the tournament.
Yet, the young man before her had taken out the personal tokens of three of them at once …
The young lady was on the verge of tears.
She thought that he was just a freshman, but to think that he would have such a powerful background.
Since you are so formidable, why don't you just look for Vice School Head You directly? Why do you have to waste your breath on me?
Just as her face paled in fright, the young man opposite her asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Are these tokens useless? Then why are those fellows still bragging? What kind of people are they? I'll ask them about it later, and if it doesn't work, I'll call them over … "
"Cough cough!" The young lady nearly died of fright.
Calling the three school heads bragging … and calling them over …
Who in the world is this young man?
It's laughable how I acted so arrogantly just a moment ago …
Her body swayed weakly, and her face paled. "There's no need for that … This token is useful!"
Fearing that the other party would be annoyed by her words, she hurriedly passed the token back to him and walked out from the reception. "Please follow me!"
Regardless of whether the other party was speaking the truth or not, the fact that he was able to take out three Elder Tokens at once showed that his identity was not something that she could fathom.
"That's a lot!"
Seeing that the Elder Tokens were indeed useful, Zhang Xuan nodded and followed behind the young lady with Wei Changfeng.
Not too long later, they walked out of the Tower of Physicians and arrived at a spacious residence.
"This is Vice School Head You's residence!" the young lady pointed.
Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over.
As expected of the residence of a vice school head, it was much more spacious than the residence of Hu Yaoyao. There was a formation shrouding the entire residence, preventing him from seeing through it. However, he could still feel the dense and pure spiritual energy that lingered in the air, leaving him with a heavy feeling.
Dong dong dong!
Stepping forward, the young lady knocked on the door.
Jiya!
A middle-aged man walked in.
"Sun laoshi, these two are here to meet Vice School Head You!"
The young lady said.
"Meet Vice School Head You?"
The middle-aged man frowned. He glanced at Zhang Xuan, but he didn't recognize the other party. Following which, his gaze fell on Wei Changfeng, and his eyes lit up. "So it's the head of the Spirit Emporium, Pavilion Master Wei. I'll report this to my teacher right now!"
Wei Changfeng was a Saint realm expert, one of the top figures in Hongyuan City. Many people had met him before.
Wei Changfeng nodded.
Sun laoshi turned around and walked into the residence. The young lady beside him was so shocked that she nearly fell to the ground.
That fellow had been following behind the young man without saying a single word, so she thought that he was just a useless servant. Never in her dreams did she expect him to be the head of the Spirit Emporium!
A Saint realm expert as a servant … Who in the world was this young man?
In an instant, her face paled.
Sun laoshi walked into the residence and hurriedly bowed. "This way, please!"
"Un!"
Paying no heed to the shocked young lady, Zhang Xuan walked into the residence.
As soon as he stepped into the residence, a medicinal fragrance immediately assailed his nostrils. The concentrated spiritual energy in the air felt like a whirlwind, producing a whimpering sound.
"Confluence of Spiritual Energy?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
This sound wasn't formed by spiritual energy but by the confluence of many treasures.
Lifting his gaze, Zhang Xuan saw a small herb garden in the center of the residence. The place where the Confluence of Spiritual Energy was located was right in the middle of it. There were all kinds of plants planted in the garden, and just looking at them would leave one feeling refreshed.
"Broken Yin Grass, Smiley Flower, Seven-heart Lily … There are actually so many Saint-tier medicinal herbs here?"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
Even though the herb garden wasn't big, with only a few hundred medicinal herbs, they were all of high tier. In fact, there were even quite a few Saint-tier medicinal herbs.
"Un? Ten-leafed Flower? "
Zhang Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up as he walked forward.
Ten-leafed Flower, a Saint-tier medicinal herb.
When it matured, ten flowers of different colors would bloom on its ten leaves, and they corresponded to one's three souls and seven spirits. If Wei Ruyan were to use this to nourish her soul, she would definitely be able to wake up within three days.
"Young master, will that Ten-leafed Flower work?"
While Zhang Xuan was examining the medicinal herb, Wei Changfeng suddenly sent a telepathic message to him. Clearly, the boss of the Spirit Emporium had also noticed the medicinal herb.
In order to save his daughter, he had developed a deep understanding of medicinal herbs.
"Un. This Ten-leafed Flower will be able to save your daughter. However, once the flower blooms, its effects will be enhanced significantly." Zhang Xuan nodded.
This Ten-leafed Flower was only in the form of a leaf, and there was still some time before it bloomed.
However, Wei Ruyan wouldn't be able to wait that long. Even if its effects couldn't be maximized, it should still be able to save her life.
Hearing the young master's confirmation, Wei Changfeng heaved a sigh of relief.
"Teacher, Boss Wei is here!"
Right after the two of them finished speaking, Sun laoshi's voice sounded. Following which, they saw an elder bending over to fertilize the plants nearby.
He seemed to be in his sixties or seventies, and his beard was white.
Before him was a crimson flower. The patterns on its surface were clear, and it carried a bewitching aura. The elder gently dug into the ground and poured in a basin of crimson liquid before slowly filling the soil back up.
"Demonic Blood Flower?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
He recognized this flower. Even though it was a Saint-tier medicinal herb, there were very few people who cultivated it.
It wasn't because the flower was ominous, but because it was simply too difficult to nurture.
That was because … this flower could only survive if it was nourished with fresh blood!
One had to kill at least ten spirit beasts in order to nurture a single flower.
"It seems like Vice School Head You isn't young anymore …"
Even though it was difficult to nurture, its effects were incredible. Once it matured, consuming it would increase one's vitality and extend one's lifespan.
This was probably the reason why Vice School Head You was nurturing it.
Otherwise, why would a master teacher go through so much trouble to nurture it?
"Un!"
Waving his hands, the elder didn't turn around. Instead, he slowly flattened the soil before washing his hands in the basin before turning around to look at Wei Changfeng.
"I have long heard of Boss Wei's reputation, but this is my first time meeting you."
Vice School Head You smiled.
"I have also long heard that Vice School Head You is skilled in nurturing medicinal herbs. It is indeed an eye-opener for me!" Wei Changfeng clasped his fist.
"I can't say that I'm skilled in nurturing medicinal herbs, it's just a hobby of mine. May I know the reason behind Pavilion Master Wei's sudden visit? "
Vice School Head You asked.
They were all Saint realm experts. Even though they had never met before, they had at least heard of the other party's name. There was no need for him to beat around the bush.
They had never crossed paths before, so it was hard for him to believe that the other party was here for no reason at all.
"Vice School Head You is indeed a straightforward person. I am indeed here to ask of you …"
Wei Changfeng bowed deeply. "I … would like to purchase the Ten-leafed Flower from Vice School Head You!"
"Ten-leafed Flower?"
Glancing at the medicinal herb in the courtyard, Vice School Head You shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I'm not selling this medicinal herb!"
Wei Changfeng panicked. "I'm requesting this medicinal herb to save someone. I hope that Vice School Head You can grant my request …"
"I've already said that I'm not selling it. Sun Yuan, send the guests out!"
Vice School Head You waved his hands.
"Yes!"
Sun laoshi, Sun Yuan, stepped forward and bowed. "This way, please!"
"This …"
Wei Changfeng hurriedly spoke up. "I know that it is abrupt of me to request this medicinal herb, but I'm really here to save someone. Vice School Head You, feel free to state any price. As long as it's within my means, I'll surely do it!"
