"You're not selling it?" Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Xuan's face turned livid.
If not for this fellow, Wei Changfeng wouldn't have died!
After saying so much, the other party still refused to sell it?
As expected, when master teachers were shameless, they were even more fearsome than the saint beasts of the Cloudmist Ridge!
"That's right!" Vice School Head You waved his hands. "I don't have the habit of selling it before it reaches maturity. You can leave now!"
Knowing that Wei Ruyan's life would be in grave danger if he couldn't obtain the Ten-leafed Flower, Zhang Xuan suppressed his rage and asked, "You mean to say that you won't sell it until the Ten-leafed Flower reaches maturity?"
"That's right!" Vice School Head You nodded. "How can I sell it before it reaches maturity? You should understand the logic behind this, so I'm not trying to make things difficult for you! "
"That's true. Since you're not selling it before it reaches maturity, I'll let it mature right now!"
Glaring at the other party coldly, Zhang Xuan walked up to the Ten-leafed Flower, and with a tap of his finger, he injected a few droplets of Earth Vein Spirit Essence into it. After which, he infused his Heaven's Path zhenqi into it as well.
Even though the nourishment of the Earth Vein Spirit Essence was sufficient to hasten the maturity of the Ten-leafed Flower, it would still take at least a day. However, with the nourishment of the Heaven's Path zhenqi, the process would be much faster.
As expected, the growth of the Ten-leafed Flower was visible to the naked eye. Ten minutes later, the ten flower buds had fully bloomed, and an astonishing fragrance emanated from them.
"This..."
Sun Yuan widened his eyes in shock.
The Ten-leafed Flower was a saint herb. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least ten years to mature. Yet, the other party only took ten minutes... How in the world did he do it?
"It's already matured. Vice School Head You, can you sell it now?"
Zhang Xuan stood up.
Vice School Head You's face turned livid.
He said that he would trade the Cloudmist Flower for it, and the other party did. He said that it wasn't alive, and the other party made it alive. He said that the medicinal herb wasn't mature yet, and the other party hastened its maturity... This fellow wasn't here to buy the medicinal herb, but to slap his face!
"Why? Vice School Head You don't intend to sell the Ten-leafed Flower now that it has matured? "Seeing the other party's expression, Zhang Xuan asked.
"Hmph! I was the one who raised this Ten-leafed Flower. Are you intending to snatch it away from me? "Vice School Head You frowned.
"Of course I wouldn't dare to snatch a vice principal's position!" Zhang Xuan shook his head. His eyes flashed like lightning as he looked over once more. "I'll ask you one last time. Are you sure you won't sell it to me?"
Vice School Head You harrumphed. "That's right! Even if my Ten-leafed Flower is rotting in the ground, I won't sell it to a disrespectful person like you!"
"Very good!"
Without another word, Zhang Xuan turned and left, quickly disappearing from the courtyard.
"Gone?"
He thought that the other party would do something outrageous, but who would have thought that the other party would leave just like that? Sun Yuan was stunned. A moment later, he couldn't help but turn to Principal Zhang and ask, "Teacher, it's just a Ten-leafed Flower. Since he wants to buy it, why don't you just sell it to him? There's no need to make such a huge fuss …"
"How dare you! Why? Do you want to teach our teacher a lesson now that your wings have hardened? "Vice School Head You raised his eyebrows.
"This student wouldn't dare!" Sun Yuan clasped his fist and said, "I have only heard that this fellow is extremely sinister. I fear that... if I were to offend him, it might bring me trouble!"
"What a joke! I, You Xu, am a Saint realm expert, the vice head of the Physician School. What kind of storms have I not seen before? Do you think that I would be afraid of a mere student? "Vice School Head You sneered coldly.
"Just that..." Sun Yuan said worriedly.
There had to be a reason why that fellow was so highly regarded by Mo Gaoyuan, School Head Mo, School Head Zhao, and School Head Ran Xue. If he were to offend his teacher, would he offend the other school heads or even the head of the Mingshi Tang Academy?
"There are no buts. How about this... Follow him and take a look. If that lad dares to speak ill of me before School Head Mo and the others, arrest him immediately and punish him for slandering a high-ranked master teacher!"
Vice School Head You harrumphed coldly.
"This..." Sun Yuan hesitated.
"What are you waiting for? It's a grave offense for a low-ranked master teacher to speak ill of a high-ranked master teacher! That fellow's rank is beneath mine. If he dares to speak ill of me before others, he will be courting death! "Vice School Head You waved his hands.
"Yes!" Hearing his teacher's words, Sun Yuan nodded helplessly and left the courtyard.
It was against the rules for a low-ranked master teacher to speak ill of a high-ranked master teacher without any evidence. That Zhang Xuan was only a 4-star master teacher whereas his teacher was a 6-star pinnacle master teacher. With a difference of two cultivation realms, it was only right for him to be arrested on the spot.
After leaving the courtyard, Sun Yuan scanned the surroundings and happened to see Zhang Shi walking out of the courtyard. Since the latter hadn't gone far, he discreetly followed him.
Even though he didn't approve of his teacher's actions, he still obeyed his teacher's orders.
Will he look for School Head Mo or School Head Zhao first?
Sun Yuan thought as he followed the other party from afar.
He had heard quite a bit about Zhang Xuan. School Head Mo, School Head Zhao, and School Head Wei all treated him as an esteemed guest. If the other party were to cause trouble, he would surely look for one of them first.
However, even though the three of them were of esteemed standing, they didn't belong to the same academy as them. At most, they would only be the mediator, so it was unlikely that they would do anything to his teacher.
"I think that it's more likely for him to look for School Head Zhao. After all, the Blacksmith School is ranked second in the Blacksmith School.
Sun Yuan muttered. Just as he was trying to figure out who the other party would complain to, the young man suddenly turned around and headed straight for the Tower of Physicians.
Hmm? Why is he heading to the Tower of Physicians?
Sun Yuan blinked.
Shouldn't that young man be complaining to the other school heads and causing trouble for his teacher? Why would he head to the Tower of Physicians instead?
Let's head over to take a look!
Sun Yuan hurriedly followed behind.
The Tower of Physicians was filled with people, and Zhang Xuan had vanished without a trace the moment he entered the crowd. Sun Yuan searched for him for a long time, but to no avail. Eventually, he couldn't help but head to the front desk.
A young lady was standing behind the counter, and upon seeing him, she hurriedly clasped her fist and greeted, "Sun laoshi …"
She was the young lady who had brought Zhang Xuan to the Master Teacher Residence that day.
"Un. Did you meet that freshman named Zhang Xuan?" Sun Yuan asked.
"Zhang Xuan?" The young lady was taken aback.
"He's the one you brought to meet Vice School Head You the other day!" Sun Yuan frowned.
"He … He's Zhang Xuan?" The young lady covered her mouth as her eyes widened in excitement, as if she had just met her idol.
Honestly speaking, over the past few days, there were few in the academy who hadn't heard of the name 'Zhang Xuan'.
"Cough cough! Did you meet him? "Seeing the stars in the young lady's eyes, Sun Yuan was rendered speechless. He couldn't help but wave his hands.
What the heck is this?
You're a senior, so do you have to worship a junior?
Even if you do, there's no need to make it so obvious!
"I saw him. He just received a form from me and said that he wants to challenge the Wall of Dilemma to earn some Academic Credits!" The young lady nodded.
"Challenge the Wall of Dilemma to earn some Academic Credits?" Sun Yuan was taken aback for a moment before shaking his head.
The Wall of Dilemma was also known as the Wall of Difficult Illnesses, and there was one in every Physician Guild.
Usually, they would place difficult illnesses on the wall so as to encourage future generations to solve them. But in reality, those who were able to do so … could be counted on one's fingers.
This was similar to the Passageway of Records in the Blacksmith School. Every year, there would be countless people who would challenge it, but how many of them would succeed?
"Indeed!" The young lady nodded.
"I thought that he would look for School Head Zhao, but who would have thought that he would challenge the Wall of Dilemma instead? What in the world is that fellow up to?"
Sun Yuan was perplexed. Just as he was wondering what that fellow was up to, a loud rumble suddenly sounded. It was as if an earthquake had struck, and even his feet were trembling.
"What's going on?"
The Physician School had always been a sturdy structure. Unless something unexpected happened, it wouldn't tremble.
"Let's go and take a look. The Wall of Dilemma has collapsed …"
"The Wall of Dilemma? That's the connection to the Physician School headquarters! How could it collapse? "
"I heard that a person just entered the Wall of Dilemma, and in less than ten minutes, he solved all of the illnesses on the wall. Due to the speed of his operation, the Wall of Dilemma couldn't withstand the pressure and collapsed …"
"Couldn't withstand the pressure?"
"Indeed. The Wall of Dilemma relies on high-tier spirit stones to process the answers and information. To solve several hundred questions within ten minutes, the speed at which the Wall of Dilemma operates is unimaginable... It would be a wonder if the Wall of Dilemma could withstand the pressure..."
…
Just as Sun Yuan was perplexed, he suddenly heard a series of discussions. Following which, he saw countless people rushing toward the Wall of Dilemma.
"The Wall of Dilemma couldn't withstand the pressure and collapsed?"
Sun Yuan widened his eyes in shock.
Are you for real?
He had tried to solve the illnesses on the Wall of Dilemma before, and they were extremely difficult. Putting aside him, even his teacher would find it difficult to solve them. How could someone possibly solve all of them within ten minutes?
"Could it be … Zhang Xuan?"
Suddenly recalling the words of the young lady, Sun Yuan turned his gaze over, only to see the latter widening her eyes in shock.
"Did anyone else challenge the Wall of Dilemma today?" Sun Yuan asked anxiously.
"No, he's the only one …" The young lady shuddered.
"It's really him?"
Sun Yuan's heart turned cold. Unable to hold himself back any longer, he urged, "Let's go and take a look!"
The duo hurriedly rushed over to the Wall of Dilemma, only to see that the tall passageway had already been reduced to rubble, and smoke was rising from it.
A middle-aged man walked out from the rubble, looking indescribably unkempt.
"Hu shi, what happened?" Sun Yuan hurriedly walked up to the middle-aged man.
This Hu shi was his junior, and he was in charge of looking after the Wall of Dilemma.
"It's that Zhang Xuan. He came here to challenge the Wall of Dilemma and solved all of the illnesses on it … but due to the huge amount of Academic Credits he had accumulated, the passageway collapsed!"
Hu shi's lips quivered as he hurriedly explained.
"Accumulated too many Academic Credits?" Sun Yuan was taken aback.
"That's right. It's not like you don't know about the Wall of Dilemma. In order to encourage students to challenge the Wall of Dilemma, the faster they solve the problems, the more Academic Credits they will be awarded. If one solves a problem within two hours, one will be awarded one Academic Credits. If one solves two problems, one will be awarded three Academic Credits. If one solves three, one will be awarded six Academic Credits.
Hu shi explained.
Sun Yuan nodded.
There was indeed such a rule in the Wall of Dilemma.
The faster one solved the problems, the more Academic Credits one would be awarded. This was also to increase the speed at which a student could treat a patient so that they could save a patient within a short period of time.
"That Zhang Xuan solved more than five hundred illnesses within five minutes … Due to the huge amount of Academic Credits he had, the total amount of Academic Credits in the academy wasn't enough. On top of that, the mechanism was operating too quickly, so it ended up like this …"
Hu shi explained.
"Insufficient Academic Credits?"
Sun Yuan's body swayed, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
"You are saying that … he earned more than a hundred thousand Academic Credits?"
(Third Update! The climax has just begun. If you offend Zhang Xuan, you will be so frightened that you start doubting your own life.

Taking care of a pregnant lady, working, and attending to her confinement period … He had been so busy that he was in a complete mess! As a part-time author, he had never stopped updating his 2.41 million words … This was the answer that Laoya had given to himself and the readers. Thank you for your hard work and perseverance. The story of the Library of Heaven's Path is a long one, and I hope that I can continue walking it with you. Thank you!)
