"It's not about the price. It's just that my teacher doesn't sell these medicinal herbs. I hope you can understand!" Sun Yuan waved his hand.
Wei Changfeng gritted his teeth.
As long as the other party was willing to sell it, even if he had to go bankrupt, he would still buy it. But... if the other party wasn't willing to sell it, he couldn't possibly snatch it from him, right?
Putting aside the fact that he might not necessarily be a match for Zhang Xuan, just the fact that they were in the Master Teacher Academy was enough to dissuade him from harboring any thoughts.
"I'm trying to save my daughter. She's in urgent need of this soul-warming sacred medicine. I hope that Dean You can help me …"
Taking a deep breath, Wei Changfeng kneeled onto the ground.
"Sigh!"
Seeing his actions, Zhang Xuan sighed.
For his daughter, he had already knelt down twice in a row.
Despite being Saint realm experts, they were willing to give up all of their pride and dignity in order to save a life. This … was what parents were like!
The pitiful hearts of parents!
For the sake of their children, they could do anything and give up anything. This kind of love was pure and selfless, great and profound.
"I already said that I'm not selling. Even if you kneel here until you die, I won't change my mind. Just leave!"
Vice School Head You waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Dean You …"
With a flushed face, Wei Changfeng clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails dug into his flesh.
Both of them were Saint realm experts, so they were bound to meet each other. Who would have thought that even after kneeling and begging, the other party would remain unmoved?
Seeing that the other party wasn't going to give him any face, Zhang Xuan shook his head. Just as he was about to step forward to persuade the other party, another knock sounded at the door.
Dong dong dong dong!
Sun Yuan glanced at him doubtfully before walking toward the door. Not too long later, a middle-aged man walked in behind him.
"Dean You, my teacher needs a Saint-level Origin Hardening Grass to refine pills!"
The middle-aged man cupped his fists.
"Essence Hardening Grass?"
Vice School Head You nodded. "Sun Yuan, go and find Teacher Zhuo!"
"Yes!" Nodding, Sun Yuan walked into the herb garden, and not too long later, he returned with a light green plant.
"Many thanks!" The middle-aged man nodded as he flicked his wrist and took out several high-tier spirit stones. "This is the money for the medicinal herbs!"
Not too many, not too few, there were exactly ten of them.
Dean You kept the spirit stones while the middle-aged man took the herbs and left.
A transaction only took a few minutes.
"Dean You, didn't you say that you're not selling? Why would Zhuo shi come here and sell it directly? "
Seeing how the other party had managed to buy it so easily, Wei Changfeng clenched his fists so tightly that veins popped out from his forehead.
Zhang Xuan also frowned.
If it was due to the other party's principle of not selling anything, even he wouldn't have said anything about it. But... this Zhuo shi was willing to sell it to Wei Changfeng, and yet, he refused to sell it to him no matter what...
Differential treatment was a little too much!
"Zhuo shi's teacher is the head of the Apothecary School, School Head Lu Feng. Since he is intending to forge grade-6 pills, it's only natural for him to sell them to you. But you... I don't think we have such a close relationship, yet you insist on selling them to me!"
School Head You harrumphed.
"I..." Wei Changfeng gritted his teeth.
Indeed, this was the first time he had met the other party, so there was no friendship between them. If the other party sold to him, it was a favor. If the other party didn't sell to him, it was only fair. Indeed, he didn't have the right to ask for more.
"You can't say that. The greatest effect of medicine is to save lives. A doctor's heart was like that of a parent's. It was impossible to delay treatment and let a patient die because of friendship! Pavilion Master Wei's daughter is on the verge of death, and she is waiting for the Ten-leafed Flower to prolong her life. I beseech Dean You to grant her wish! "
Unable to watch on any longer, Zhang Xuan stepped forward and clasped his fist.
"Who are you to interrupt our conversation? Who are you? "
Vice School Head You frowned.
As a 6-star master teacher and the vice head of the Physician School, he had never been lectured by anyone before, let alone a twenty-year-old youngster.
"I am Zhang Xuan, a freshman who just arrived in the academy this year!" Zhang Xuan replied.
"And here I was wondering who you were. So, you are that Zhang Xuan?"
Vice School Head You was stunned for a moment before sneering coldly. "I have heard of you. School Head Mo, School Head Zhao, and the others think highly of you, but before me, you are nothing more than a junior. You aren't qualified to speak!
"As a freshman, instead of focusing on his studies, he dares to flaunt his talents and cause a huge ruckus. This is a disgrace to the reputation of master teachers. If you were my student, I would have expelled you long ago! "
At this point, he glanced at Zhang Xuan with a hint of disdain in his eyes. Waving his hand, he said, "Alright, you should leave before my mood turns completely sour. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting nasty."
"Impolite?"
"That's right! A freshman should behave like a freshman and abide by the rules of a freshman. You are ignorant of the bigger picture, disrespectful of your elders, and disrespectful of etiquette... If you continue to spout nonsense here, I don't mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of your teacher! "
With his hands behind his back, Vice School Head You flung his sleeves.
"Teach me a lesson on behalf of my teacher? Putting aside the fact that you aren't qualified to do so, even if you were... it's not your place to do so! "
Hearing the hostility in the other party's tone, Zhang Xuan shook his head and stepped forward. "Whether or not you are insulting the reputation of master teachers is not up to you. Mingshi Tang Academy and the academy to decide! Besides, even though this is your residence, it is still public property of the academy. Do you think you have the right to chase me away? I remember that... "
With a light chuckle, Zhang Xuan looked at Vice School Head You impassively and asked, "You... aren't the school head yet?"
Since others respected him, he respected them.
To insult the reputation of master teachers and expel him from the academy... No matter how good his temper was, he couldn't help but feel a little indignant.
Master teachers valued their reputation above all else.
This was precisely the reason why he didn't hesitate even though he knew that treating Wei Ruyan would exhaust his soul and damage his Primordial Spirit.
As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he swaggered around and said that he would be expelled from the sect. This was a blatant insult that had already crossed his bottom line.
"Audacious! Do you know who you are talking to? "
Not expecting a freshman to refute him, Vice School Head You's face darkened.
"Of course I know who I am talking to. 6-star Master Teacher You Xu, the vice head of the Physician School! Since I know who I am talking to, do you know who you are talking to? "
Zhang Xuan's back was ramrod straight, and his entire being was reminiscent of a spear. Carrying a sharp aura, Zhang Xuan exuded an oppressive air of arrogance.
"I am an esteemed guest of Pavilion Master Mo, School Head Mi, School Head Zhao, and School Head Wei. I hold three Elder Tokens in my hands, and I am a 6-star blacksmith and 6-star terpsichore! To insult and threaten me so brazenly... I don't think that I am the one who is being impudent but you! "
The dignity of a master teacher couldn't be sullied.
Not to mention, he was a Celestial Master Teacher!
"You..."
Vice School Head You narrowed his eyes.
He had heard of Zhang Xuan's affairs. As soon as the other party arrived in the academy, he had caused a huge uproar. Putting aside the freshmen and seniors, even the teachers were talking about him furiously.
Vice School Head You didn't like people who disobeyed the rules, and he wanted to teach the other party a lesson. Yet, who could have thought that the other party would actually refute him?
The other party was right. Since the other party held the Elder Tokens of the three school heads, it was equivalent to the presence of the three school heads. If he were to chase the other party away, he would be disrespecting them.
Vice School Head You might be a 6-star high-tier master teacher as well, but he was still lacking compared to the other school heads.
"The reason I brought my subordinates here is to purchase a saint herb. If you have any conditions, feel free to state them. Yet, as a 6-star master teacher, you actually dared to insult me so brazenly. If I were to report this matter to the academy, I wonder if the academy would investigate this matter?"
Ignoring the other party's rage, Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly.
"You... Very well!"
Not expecting that his words would be used against him in a moment of anger, Vice School Head You Xu's face turned livid.
Master teachers were very particular about their standing. As a 6-star master teacher, it was one thing for Vice School Head You Xu to refuse to sell it. Yet, to insult a 6-star blacksmith like that, it was indeed a violation of the dignity of a master teacher.
If he were to report this matter to the academy, he might not be punished severely, but he would definitely be given a demerit. If news of this were to spread, it would be even more embarrassing for him.
He had long heard that the other party was an extremely bizarre person, but he didn't think that his words would be so sharp as well.
Knowing that he would be at a disadvantage if he were to continue bickering with the other party, Vice School Head You Xu decided not to pursue the matter any further. "The Ten-leafed Flower is something that I have painstakingly nurtured. If you really want it, I am willing to sell it!"
Seeing the other party's sudden change in tone, Zhang Xuan and Wei Changfeng glanced at one another doubtfully.
"However, the price might be slightly higher!"
Vice School Head You said.
"Please speak!" Wei Changfeng clasped his fist.
Even though he had no idea why the other party would suddenly change his tone, it was better to be able to sell it than to argue with one another here.
"I need a stalk of Cloudmist Flower. If you can bring me a stalk within two days, I can give the Ten-leafed Flower to you!"
Vice School Head You said.
"Cloudmist Flower?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
As a 4-star physician, he was well-versed in medicinal herbs, but he had never heard of such a herb before.
Just as he was about to ask what it was, Wei Changfeng's face suddenly paled, and his body trembled.
"You know of this herb?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"The Cloudmist Flower is a plant unique to Hongyuan Mountain Range's Cloudmist Ridge. It isn't a medicinal herb... When it is roasted and boiled, it will produce a thick mist reminiscent of clouds. It is an extremely beautiful and valuable tea leaf!"
Wei Changfeng said.
"Tea leaf? You want to exchange a stalk of tea leaf for the Ten-leafed Flower? "
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
The Ten-leafed Flower was a Saint-tier medicinal herb, and it was worth at least ten high-tier spirit stones. To exchange a stalk of tea leaf for it... Wasn't that a little too cheap?
"Un!"
Wei Changfeng nodded. He wanted to say something, but eventually, he held himself back. Instead, he turned to Vice School Head You and said, "Alright, I'll agree to it!"
"That's good. I'll be waiting for your good news then!"
Vice School Head You chuckled lightly as he waved his hands.
"Don't worry! I only hope that you can keep your promise and hand the Ten-leafed Flower to me! "
Taking in a deep breath, Wei Changfeng clenched his fists tightly. Then, he beckoned Zhang Xuan and said, "Young master, let's go!"
Seeing that they were done with their discussion, Zhang Xuan didn't say anything, and the two of them left the residence.
The moment they left, Sun Yuan couldn't help but turn to the elder before him and ask, "Teacher, the Cloudmist Ridge is filled with saint beasts. Even School Head Mo, who is skilled in beast taming, would have a hard time returning from it... Isn't it too dangerous for you to send Pavilion Master Wei to pluck the Cloudmist Flower?"
"Dangerous? Of course, I know how dangerous it is. However, it's not like you haven't heard of what Wei Changfeng has done... It would be best if such a scourge were to die! As for that Zhang Xuan, he doesn't know his place and doesn't know his place. It would be best for him to go along with him. Even if he doesn't go, he should at least learn that a 6-star master teacher isn't someone to be offended! "
Vice School Head You sneered coldly.
