As an Upper Nine Paths occupation, blacksmiths had a strict requirement on their cultivation. For Wu Yangzi to be so famous, at the very least, his true cultivation was at Saint 1-dan pinnacle. On top of that, as a blacksmith, he had access to all kinds of treasures...
Putting everything aside, even if Elder Mi, School Head Lu, and the others were here together, it would still be difficult for them to kill Wu Yangzi!
It was already inconceivable that a bunch of Saint 1-dan puppets had captured Wu Yangzi and imprisoned him in the underground chamber, and he was still alive even before his death. But judging from Hu Yaoyao's tone, it seemed like she knew something.
Wu Yangzi's capture wasn't as simple as it seemed.
Zhang Xuan turned to Hu Yaoyao and asked, "What's going on?"
"This matter involves too many people, and I don't have any concrete evidence yet, so I can't say anything for the time being. The only reason why I revealed my identity is to ask if you are looking for the treasure. If that's the case, I might be able to help you! "
Hu Yaoyao shook her head.
"Since you are a descendant of Elder Wu Yangzi, there's no need for us to hide anything from you. The reason we are looking for the old residence is indeed for the treasure left behind by Elder Wu Yangzi!"
Since Hu Yaoyao had admitted to his identity, Zhang Xuan nodded. "However, the information he gave us is extremely vague. He only said that he left something behind in his old residence, but as for what it is and where it is, we aren't too sure either!"
Even though Zhang Xuan had admitted to it, he didn't reveal the secret art that Wu Yangzi had left behind.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Hu Yaoyao, but the implications were too great, so it would be best for him to proceed with caution.
"I should know a thing or two about what he left behind, but... I have been to this place many times, and I haven't found any traces of the treasure!"
Hu Yaoyao said doubtfully.
As a descendant of Wu Yangzi, her ancestors had passed down news of the treasure, just that... only her ancestor knew the exact location of the treasure. Even she had been to the old residence many times, but she hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary, needless to say, find anything.
"There's no need to rush. Since this is my residence, we will have plenty of time to look for it!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands, deciding not to pursue the matter any further.
Wu Yangzi had once said that there was an artifact that could allow one to reach Sainthood at the Three Stars of the Earth Dragon in the old residence. As long as he could find it and place three formation flags on it, the artifact would appear on its own.
Even until now, Zhang Xuan wasn't too sure what the Three Stars of the Earth Dragon was.
However, since he had found the place, as long as he searched carefully, he would be able to succeed. At most, it would take some time.
"I'm afraid … the so-called treasure is not as simple as concealing one's fetus and breaking through to sainthood!"
Understanding all of this, Zhang Xuan knew that Wu Yangzi's treasures couldn't possibly be as simple as concealing a fetus and achieving a breakthrough to Sainthood. If it was really that easy, Hu Yaoyao's words wouldn't have happened.
After which, Zhang Xuan asked Hu Yaoyao a few more things regarding the Zhang Clan Manor. Due to the long history of the manor, and the fact that it had changed owners several dozen times, even the younger generation would have no way of knowing what had happened two thousand years ago.
It was easy to understand.
If Hu Yaoyao had known about all of this, she would have long since taken the treasure.
"Alright, find a place to rest first. We'll talk after I treat Wei Ruyan."
After chatting for a while, Sun Qiang and the Great Violetwing Beast brought Wei Ruyan over. Zhang Xuan didn't say anything else and went up to them.
After nourishing Wei Ruyan's soul, her condition had improved significantly. However, she was still in a coma.
After placing her at a location where spiritual energy was concentrated, Zhang Xuan began treating her.
He drew his soul out from his body and used a secret art to transfer Wei Ruyan's soul into the Ten-leafed Flower. Only after everything was ready did he heave a sigh of relief.
The Ten-leafed Flower required at least three days to nourish one's soul, so he wasn't in a rush.
After taking out the Earth Vein Spirit Essence to nourish Wei Ruyan's body, Zhang Xuan frowned.
The Earth Vein Spirit Essence can only maintain her physical body. In order to recover her vitality, I'll need the Grand Intermittence Pill!
The Grand Intermittence Pill was a grade-7 pill. With his current cultivation, it was impossible for him to forge it.
Furthermore, he didn't have the pill formula or the medicinal herbs required to forge the Grand Intermittence Pill.
It seems like I'll have to pay a visit to the Apothecary School … Zhang Xuan exhaled deeply.
At this point, he would have to make a trip to the Apothecary Guild to raise his apothecary skills to 6-star, apply for the pill formula for the Grand Intermittence Pill from the headquarters, and find a 6-star apothecary to forge it for him …
Since it's still early, I should make a trip to the Apothecary School!
By the time Zhang Xuan returned from the Cloudmist Ridge, the sun had just risen. Challenging the Physician Guild to a Life-and-Death Duel with You Xu might sound complicated, but in truth, it only took an hour or so.
Eventually, he arrived at this residence, settled his lodgings, and treated Wei Ruyan. After all that, it was only noon at the moment. There was still some time before the night that Lozosy had agreed to meet him at.
As the saying goes, revenge is always carried out. Since Zhang Xuan had already said that he would head to the Apothecary School, since he had nothing better to do, wouldn't it make it seem like he wasn't being loyal?
Going back on his word?
…
In a spacious room in the Apothecary School, Lu Feng sat with a livid expression.
Below him, four elders were seated around a table, and their faces were livid as well.
Waving his hands grandly, Lu Feng said, "I called all of you over to discuss how we can save Vice School Head You!"
"School Head You, Vice School Head You only has himself to blame for falling into such a state. Master teachers are supposed to be trustworthy, and yet, he went back on his word and caused the death of a Saint. If we were to hand him over to the Tribunal of Teachers, he would surely be sentenced to death!"
An elder shook his head. "Besides, it was a Life-and-Death Physician Duel, and he lost fair and square. Even if we wish to save him, we have no excuse to do so. I think … we should just forget about it!"
If Zhang Xuan were here, he would surely recognize the other party to be Vice School Head Zhou, Zhou Qing.
Back then, during the public lecture, it was this person who had personally set up the venue for Lozosy.
"Forget about it? You must be joking! If not for the saint herbs that Vice School Head You planted, do you think that you would be able to forge a grade-6 pinnacle pill? How could your pill forging skills have improved by so much? "an elder interjected.
"Indeed. Our Apothecary School is indebted to Vice School Head You, so we can't allow him to be taken away just like that. Furthermore, he is just a student!"
Yet another elder said.
"This matter has to be dealt with strictly. Otherwise, what will become of the Master Teacher Academy?" the final elder said.
Just like the other academies, the Apothecary School also had four vice school heads.
"I know that we are indebted to Xu, but … this matter is his fault. The other party is only acting according to the rules, and even the Physician School hasn't said anything about it. If we were to cause trouble for him, I fear that others might say that we are narrow-minded!"
Vice School Head Zhou frowned.
"Narrow-Minded? Humph, that fellow has no respect for his seniors, publicly disrespecting our school head. If we don't teach him a lesson, won't others think that our Apothecary School is a pushover? "
The first elder said.
"School Head Lu was the one who interfered …" Vice School Head Zhou frowned, but before he could finish his words, School Head Lu suddenly waved his hands.
"Enough! I called you here to discuss how we should deal with this matter, not to quarrel! "
Lu Feng said indignantly.
As the stand-in principal of the Master Teacher Academy, not only was he being looked down upon by a twenty-year-old fellow, he was even humiliated by him. Just the thought of it left him fuming.
"That Zhang Xuan caused a huge uproar as soon as he arrived in the academy. No matter how talented he is or how great his potential is, our Master Teacher Academy will not tolerate such an unruly existence!"
Seeing the crowd fall silent, School Head Lu waved his hands.
"Besides, he has already publicly acknowledged that he isn't a student of the Physician School. I have already ordered my men to clean up his residence in the Elite Sector, and from today onward, he is to be evicted!"
"This …"
Vice School Head Zhou said anxiously, "School Head Lu, no matter what, Zhang Xuan is highly regarded by School Head Mo, School Head Zhao, and the others. If we do this … won't they be displeased?"
Even if the other party wasn't a student of the Master Teacher Academy, given that he was highly regarded by School Head Mo and the others, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to stay in the Elite Sector.
"Displeased? I am only acting according to the rules of the academy, what can they possibly be displeased about? " Lu Feng sneered coldly. "Every inch of land in the vicinity of the academy is worth its weight in gold. Let's chase him out first and find a way to teach him a lesson!"
With a livid face, Vice School Head Zhou was just about to continue persuading Lu Feng when a knock sounded on the door.
"School Head Lu, Grade-2 student Huang Xing requests an audience!"
"Come in!"
Hearing that it was Huang Xing, the person in charge of the Elite Sector, Lu Feng nodded.
"Huang Xing pays respect to the school heads!"
As soon as he walked in, he saw that all five school heads of the Apothecary School were present. Shocked, he hurriedly clasped his fist.
"How is the matter I entrusted you with?"
Lu Feng asked.
"Reporting to School Head Lu … I have already cleared out Zhang Shi's belongings and reclaimed the residence …" Huang Xing's lips twitched as he hurriedly replied.
"Well done!" Nodding in satisfaction, Lu Feng stroked his beard.
For a freshman to dare to challenge him, it was still a little lacking.
Even though he couldn't make a move on the other party directly due to his identity as a master teacher, given the prestige he had built up over the years in the Master Teacher Academy and Hongyuan City, it wasn't too difficult for him to make a nobody like him lose his life.
"How is he doing now? Is he looking around for a place to stay? Tell the trading firm that no one is allowed to rent or sell his residence, or else I will make a move on him personally! "
Lu Feng waved his hands.
"This …" Huang Xing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Reporting to School Head Lu, he … didn't look for a place to stay!"
"Didn't look for a place to stay? Is he planning to stay in the Elite Sector? "Lu Feng frowned.
"That's not it … It's just that as soon as I moved Zhang shi's belongings out, King Huai gifted him a massive manor that covers an area of three hundred mu, and it's lavishly decorated, comparable to the royal palace … After that, he moved in!
Huang Xing's face flushed in embarrassment.
"King Huai … gifted him a manor?" Lu Feng widened his eyes in shock.
It was just a moment ago that he said that the other party had no place to stay, and the other party gifted him a huge manor. Was that for real?
"That's right!" Huang Xing nodded.
Even though he didn't want to say it out loud, it was the truth … Not only was School Head Lu's action of accepting King Huai's residence useless, he had even offended the other party.
With a livid face, Lu Feng was just about to ask Zhang Xuan what was going on when a young man suddenly rushed in.
"School Head Lu … Bad news!"
It was one of his students.
"What's wrong?" Seeing how flustered the other party was, Lu Feng frowned.
"It's … Zhang Xuan! He is here! He came to the Apothecary School!"
The young man shouted anxiously.
