"They ran away on their own? What do you mean by that? "
Lu Feng and the other four vice school heads were stunned.
Other than keeping a portion of the pills for their own use, 6-star apothecaries would usually sell the rest of the pills they forged. Usually, these pills would be placed in the Pill Chamber, and there would be a specialized teacher there to sell them at a fixed price.
This middle-aged man was the one in charge of this matter.
It could be said that all of the 6-star apothecaries in the Apothecary School were betting their entire fortune on the Pill Chamber. Yet, you are telling us that the pills ran away on their own …
You must be joking!
"They really ran away on their own …" The middle-aged man's lips trembled in panic, but he didn't know how to explain himself.
As a teacher of the Apothecary School, he possessed the strength of a 6-star master teacher. For a person of his caliber to be unable to speak properly, it could be seen how shocking the matter was.
"What happened?"
Lu Feng's face darkened, and he bellowed, "Tell us everything in detail!"
"It's like this. I was in the Pill Chamber earlier, checking on the pills. In the end … the pills suddenly flew up and rushed out of the room. T-then, they disappeared just like that …"
The middle-aged man explained.
"The pills flew away on their own?" The five vice school heads were dumbfounded.
Grade-6 pills were similar to Spirit artifacts. Even though they possessed their own spirit, if they didn't acknowledge an owner, how could they possibly run around on their own?
And to make a pill acknowledge an owner was even more difficult than a weapon. Even the apothecaries who forged the pills would find it difficult to do so, needless to say, an outsider!
More importantly … to make so many pills acknowledge an owner at the same time … that was impossible!
"Did anyone enter the Pill Chamber before the pills flew away?"
Lu Feng asked anxiously.
"There was a young man in his twenties who came in, saying that he wanted to take a look around. He touched every single one of the pills … but he didn't buy a single one of them. He didn't stay for too long before leaving!"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before replying.
There weren't too many people who could afford grade-6 pills, and there was only one such person who came in this morning.
"A young man in his twenties? Is this what he looks like? "
Lu Feng tapped his finger, and his zhenqi immediately materialized the image of a person in the air. It was Zhang Xuan.
Upon reaching Saint realm, one's zhenqi was capable of many unimaginable feats. Materializing one's image was one of them.
"That's him!" The middle-aged man hurriedly nodded.
"As expected …"
Hearing those words, Lu Feng nearly went insane.
All along, he had been worried that Zhang Xuan would turn the Apothecary School into the same wretched state as the Physician School, so he had taken all kinds of precautions to prevent the destruction of the Apothecary School. Yet... not a single building had been destroyed!
Instead, it was … their lair that had been raided!
In order to concoct these level 6 pills, the entire Alchemist Guild had spent an unimaginable amount of money and resources. It could be said that before the pills were sold, several of their Deans were all heavily in debt.
But now, with just a touch of his finger, he was able to claim all of the pills and take them away with him.
This was equivalent to bankrupting all of the 6-star apothecaries in the Apothecary Guild!
Even if the Apothecary School collapsed, as long as one had the money, they could still rebuild it. Furthermore, the Master Teacher Academy and the Apothecary Guild would bear some of the cost as well. However, with the disappearance of the Apothecary School, not only would their school heads be impoverished, they wouldn't even have the means to teach their students anymore …
Lu Feng clutched his chest.
My heart, my lungs, my liver …
"Let's go and take a look!"
The few of them hurriedly rushed to the Pill Chamber, but when they saw the empty room, their faces paled.
The pills had flown away on their own accord, and there was no concrete evidence. Even if they were to look for Zhang Xuan, as long as that fellow refused to admit to it, there was nothing they could do!
"Just now … where did the young man who came to touch the pill go? Do you know? "
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Lu Feng turned to the middle-aged man and asked.
"He … seems to have gone to the Apothecary Classroom!"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before nodding.
"Apothecary Classroom?" Lu Feng's body trembled once more. "It's over!"
Ignoring everything else, he rushed out of the Pill Chamber. The other vice school heads also hurriedly followed behind him, as if they had seen a ghost.
The Apothecary Classroom was where the apothecaries conducted their lessons. All of the students who studied apothecary were gathered there.
If that fellow were to conduct a lecture as if he were at the entrance of the book collection vault … the heck, there would probably be no one left in the entire Apothecary School who could do that!
Even though that fellow had destroyed the buildings of the Blacksmith School and Physician School, it had raised the reputation of the two schools, and more people would choose to study those two occupations.
But if the same thing were to happen at the entrance of the book collection vault … everyone would withdraw from their classes, and all of the teachers would lose their students … the Apothecary School would cease to exist in name only!
In an academy, the students were of utmost importance. Could a teacher who lost his students still be considered a teacher?
The heck!
Not only did that fellow take away all of the grade-6 pills, he even wanted all of the students to leave …
That was as good as severing the very foundation of the Apothecary School!
Lu Feng clutched his chest once more.
My heart, my lungs, my liver, my bladder …
The vice school heads rushed forward like a hurricane, and they arrived at the Apothecary Classroom within ten breaths. With just a single look, they nearly burst into tears.
He saw that the alchemy classroom, which had been bustling with people before, was now completely deserted. There were only a few people, big and small, and there was almost no one.
It was as if someone had emptied the classroom of tens of thousands of students. There wasn't even a single soul in sight.
"Wu laoshi, where are the students? Where are the students who stayed here? "
After searching around, Lu Feng finally found a teacher, and he couldn't help but step forward.
Wu laoshi, Wu Tian, a 6-star apothecary and an elder of the Apothecary School.
"School head, you came at the right time. I was just about to bid you farewell …"
Ignoring Lu Feng's question, Wu laoshi began packing his luggage.
"Bid you farewell?" Lu Feng's body stiffened. "Could it be … because of that Zhang Xuan?"
"That's right!"
Wu Tian nodded with a smile. "After listening to Zhang Shi's lecture, I was enlightened, and I have acknowledged him as my teacher. From today onward, I will no longer be an elder of the Apothecary School. Instead, I will be an ordinary member of the Xuanxuan Faction! I hope to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible! "
"Acknowledge … him as your teacher?"
Lu Feng's lips twitched, and he nearly spurted a mouthful of blood.
The fact that Wu Tian was able to conduct a lecture for tens of thousands of students at the same time was more than enough to show his standing in the Apothecary School. Yet, such a figure … actually acknowledged Zhang Xuan as his teacher?
You must be freaking kidding me, right?
Not only so, you are going to become an ordinary member of the Xuanxuan Faction … Faction your head!
The Xuanxuan Faction is just a student faction in the academy. What is an elder like you doing here?
"Alright, I won't be speaking anymore. Farewell …"
While speaking, Wu Tian finished packing his luggage and turned around to leave.
"Elder Wu, don't be in such a hurry … You've acknowledged Zhang Xuan as your teacher, but what about the other teachers? Our Alchemy Master Classroom has a total of more than three hundred and forty teachers. Where are they? "
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was about to leave, Lu Feng hurriedly called out.
Even though you are an elder and an important figure in the academy, as long as the other teachers are still around, it wouldn't be a big deal for one or two of them to leave. Yet... why is this place so empty? Not only are there no students around, there isn't even a single teacher around?
"Ah, those teachers have acknowledged me even earlier than I did. Every single one of them are extremely crafty, so they have already rushed over to the Xuanxuan Faction to listen in on their lessons. Let's not chat with them anymore. Otherwise, I will fall behind if I were to delay the lessons …"
Waving his hand, Wu Tian glared at Zhang Xuan viciously as he walked further and further away. Soon, his silhouette disappeared from sight.
"You've all taken him as your teacher?"
Lu Feng's body swayed weakly as he fell to the ground, losing all of his composure and poise.
F * ck!
Putting aside his pills and students, he even took in his teacher as his disciple...
If you had known earlier, you would have just destroyed our Apothecary School. Now that all the students and teachers are gone, what is the point of keeping the school around?
Lu Feng and the four vice school heads were on the verge of tears.
"School Head Lu, if not for you interfering in You Xu's matter, I think that... the most that would happen to our Apothecary School would be the collapse of our school. But now... what should we do?"
Vice School Head Zhou couldn't help but ask.
"This..."
Lu Feng burst into tears.
If it had been before, he would have surely pummeled the other party if the school were to collapse. But at this moment, he would surely be overjoyed!
The reason why the Apothecary School was known as the number one school in the Master Teacher Academy was due to its large number of students and teachers. It was also due to this that he was able to become the head of the Ten Great Master Teachers, the acting principal of the school.
But now, there were only a few principals left in the school, and they were probably even inferior to the Terpsichore School!
What the heck was this?
His heart, lungs, liver, bladder... Even the opening of his bladder was throbbing with pain...
"Let's go and take a look. I don't believe that a student like him can win the loyalty of the three hundred teachers and sixty thousand students of our Apothecary School!"
Feeling stifled, Lu Feng gritted his teeth and stood up once more.
No matter what, he was a 6-star high-tier master teacher, a figure who could achieve a breakthrough at any moment. How could he possibly respect a mere twenty-year-old young man? Dream on!
"Alright!"
Seeing that Lu Feng was insistent, Vice School Head Zhou didn't say anything else. He and the others quickly followed behind Lu Feng and chased after Wu laoshi.
After walking for roughly twenty minutes, they finally arrived at the Freshmen District, which was also the headquarters of the Xuanxuan Faction.
Looking from afar, there was a sea of people, and it was hard to tell how many of them there were.
At the entrance, three Grade 4 students were guarding the entrance. One of them was wielding a spear while the other was wielding a saber.
They were Ying Qin, Bai Mian, and the others, who had lost the bet back then.
Behind the door was a plump man. He was sitting on a stool with a bamboo basket in his hand. His thick and plump legs were swinging back and forth. When he saw the arrival of the group, he immediately stepped forward to welcome them. "Hey, isn't this Academy Head Lu? Sure, you can enter to listen to my lecture, but you have to pay a high-tier spirit stone each! It's fair and just, fair and square. "
"What did you say?"
Lu Feng's cheeks trembled, and he nearly exploded on the spot.
"School Head Lu, since we are all elders of the Master Teacher Academy, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Let me address you as Senior! Senior Lu, my teacher is currently imparting the essence of pill forging to you, so if you wish to enter, you have to pay a fee. This is the rule, as well as a sign of respect to the occupation of a teacher. Sun Qiang's Uncle Sun is just abiding by the rules. As juniors, we shouldn't make things difficult for my uncle! "
Hearing the argument, Zheng Yang stepped forward and clasped his fist.
"Senior? Sun Qiang's … Uncle Sun? To call you a junior … "
Lu Feng's vision darkened.
The heck … When did I become a junior to this ignorant plump man who only knows how to collect money?
