"The color changed?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback. He hurriedly walked toward the Ten-leafed Flower.
The Ten-leafed Flower was a saint realm medicinal herb. When it matured, it would bloom into ten flowers, each of which had a different color, corresponding to one's soul and seven mortal forms.
Wei Ruyan's feeble soul had been nourished by this very thing.
He had promised Wei Changfeng that he would take care of his daughter. What was going on?
It didn't take long for him to arrive at the center of the courtyard. Following which, he saw that the beautiful flowers in the center of the formation had turned pitch-black, as if someone had poured ink on them.
"What happened?"
His face darkened.
The Ten-leafed Flower had ten different colors, and each of them had the ability to nurture souls. Now that they had all turned black, it was clear that something had happened.
Wei Changfeng had already passed away. As the young master, if he couldn't save the other party's daughter after making a promise to the other party, how could he still have the face to call himself a master teacher?
"Before Young Master left, you told me to take care of this flower, so I've been watering it with some Earth Vein Spirit Essence every day, and it has been growing well over the past few days. In fact, when Young Master returned this morning, I noticed that there was nothing wrong with it. However, two hours ago … it suddenly turned black. I checked on it carefully, but no one has touched the formation at all.
Sun Qiang looked anxious.
"It suddenly turned black?"
Zhang Xuan frowned. He undid the surrounding formation and took a closer look. Indeed, no one had been here.
If no one came, it would be impossible for them to cause damage. He trusted Sun Qiang very much. What was going on?
Zhang Xuan walked up to the Ten-leafed Flower and activated his Eye of Insight.
Previously, under the nourishment of his Earth Vein Spirit Essence and Heaven's Path zhenqi, the Ten-leafed Flower had matured swiftly, and it was brimming with vitality. However, at this very moment, not only had the flower turned black, its leaves had also withered a little, as if suffering from some kind of illness, and it would die at any moment.
Especially the exposed roots, which were already showing signs of festering.
"How could this be?"
With the nourishment of the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid and the Spirit Gathering Formation gathering Spiritual Qi, this Saint herb should be growing better and better. How could it have festered to such a state?
Stretching his finger forward, Zhang Xuan muttered 'flaws' in his mind, and a book materialized before him. He hurriedly flipped it open.
With a single look, his complexion immediately darkened. "He's actually poisoned!"
According to the flaws in the Library of Heaven, the Ten-leafed Flower was in such a state.
"Due to Wei Ruyan's Poison Soul Constitution, even her soul carries lethal poison. While the Ten-leafed Flower is able to nourish one's soul, if one's soul were to come into contact with it for too long, it would eventually be poisoned as well. If not for the Earth Vein Spirit and the nourishment of the spiritual energy, she would have long ago, she would have died. by.
Zhang Xuan thought about the reason behind the situation, and a deep frown appeared on his forehead.
Wei Ruyan's Innate Poison Body was simply too formidable. It was able to suppress even the Innate Fetal Poison in his soul!
"Spirit spirit, I Flower Zhang Zhang" "Zhang" was "he", "God" by "Zhang" by. "Spirit," was "Flower was" Spirit "by Soul Leafed" was "by. was. had it."
"Zhang" Flower was. "Leafed" Zhang ". was. was. were" by Zhang "was" Zhang "was" was "T" by by Feng "." is. ".."
The moment the Ten-leafed Flower died, Wei Ruyan's soul would dissipate into nothingness.
It was fortunate that Sun Qiang had noticed it in time. Otherwise, not only would he have failed to save her, his soul might have even dissipated.
"Let's see how my soul is nourished first!"
Not daring to hesitate, Zhang Xuan drew his soul out of his body and began examining the soul within the Ten-leafed Flower.
A moment later, his face turned livid.
The Ten-leafed Flower could nourish any other soul for ten days, and it would definitely be able to nourish a feeble soul back to full consciousness. However, Wei Ruyan's Innate Soul Constitution was simply too powerful. Not only did she manage to poison the Ten-leafed Flower to death, she was also unable to nourish her at all!
In other words, even though Wei Ruyan's soul was stronger than ten days ago, it was still extremely feeble. She was still a long way from regaining consciousness.
"Based on her current condition, I'll need at least several hundred thousand Ten-leafed Flowers to wake her up!"
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly.
Based on Wei Ruyan's current condition, it would take at least several hundred thousand Ten-leafed Flowers to wake her up.
A single Ten-leafed Flower had already caused such a huge uproar that it even tore down the Physician School. Several hundred thousand … How could it be done?
It could be said that it was impossible to save Wei Ruyan with the Ten-leafed Flower!
"Unless … I use a higher tier saint herb!"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
Even though the Ten-leafed Flower was a saint herb, it had only just reached Saint realm. Going by human standards, it was no different from a Saint 1-dan cultivator. Naturally, its resistance to poison and endurance were lacking.
If Zhang Xuan had used a higher tier saint herb, perhaps the effects would have been much greater, and he wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble.
Just that … a single Ten-leafed Flower was already so difficult to find, let alone other living medicinal herbs!
"I should return her soul back to her body first …"
Knowing that it was futile for the time being, Zhang Xuan instructed Sun Qiang to carry Wei Ruyan's body over before drawing her soul out of the Ten-leafed Flower.
After leaving the Ten-leafed Flower, Zhang Xuan's soul was as feeble as before. Her eyes were tightly shut, and as expected, she showed no signs of waking up.
"I should continue forging the Grand Intermittence Pill and nourish my physical body. Once my physical body is stronger, my soul might be strengthened as well … After that, I should find a way to find a higher tier saint herb!"
Seeing that the young lady was still unconscious, Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella.
To be able to render countless 6-star physicians helpless and force Wei Changfeng to expend all of his energy … Wei Ruyan's condition wasn't as simple as he had thought.
He had thought that he would be able to wake her up by finding a living saint herb to nourish her soul, but from the looks of it, it seemed like he had been too naive.
Putting everything aside, just her innate poisonous soul was already something that countless saint herbs would find hard to resist.
Zhang Xuan sent his soul out to nourish the other party for a while longer, and when he felt that her vitality had recovered slightly, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Even though the Ten-leafed Flower wasn't able to wake her up, it had successfully resolved her current predicament. As long as he forged the Grand Intermittence Pill, her physical body would regain its vitality. Even if she remained unconscious for the time being, she should be able to hold on until he found a higher tier saint herb.
"Young Master, Apothecary Lu and the others are already waiting for you in the main hall!"
After instructing Sun Qiang to send someone to take care of Wei Ruyan, Zhang Xuan walked into the main hall.
"Zhang Shi!"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, Apothecary Lu and the others hurriedly stood up.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony. I believe you all should understand the reason why I have gathered you here. I hope to borrow your help to forge the grade-7 Grand Intermittence Pill!"
Taking a seat, Zhang Xuan got straight to the point.
Even though everyone had already guessed that he would do so, hearing him admit it personally still made them fall silent.
They were all 6-star pinnacle apothecaries, so forging a grade-6 pill wasn't a problem for them. However, to forge a grade-7 pill … Not to mention, they had never worked together before. This was simply too difficult.
"Zhang Shi, it's not that we want to turn you down, but our capabilities are limited. I fear that … we might not be able to accomplish this task!"
Apothecary Lu shook his head.
They couldn't deny that Zhang Shi was an accomplished apothecary, but … it was impossible for him to forge a grade-7 pill, not to mention, one that was ranked near the top!
Seeing the lack of confidence in them, Zhang Xuan said, "There's no need to worry, and there's no need to feel pressured. As long as you follow my instructions step by step, there shouldn't be too much of a problem!"
It was no wonder. As 6-star apothecaries, they had only come into contact with grade-6 pills at most.
For a Grand Intermittence Pill to be ranked near the top of the grade-7 pill, it was already beyond their imagination.
"We still don't dare to …" Apothecary Lu shook his head.
"Indeed. We're already so old, and we've tried many times but to no avail. On top of that, we've never worked together before. I fear that it'll be difficult for us to succeed!"
The other apothecaries shook their heads as well.
Seeing that they didn't have the slightest bit of confidence, Zhang Xuan frowned.
Not only did pill forging require skill, spirit, energy, and spirit were essential as well. This was especially so for the Grand Intermittence Pill. Not a single one of them was lacking. Not to mention, the Grand Intermittence Pill harnessed immense vitality. If every apothecary had such an attitude, even if the steps were correct, it was impossible for them to succeed!
This was no longer a problem of pill forging but one's spirit and conviction.
It was just like back then when he was taking the 1-star apothecary examination, Apothecary Chen Xiao had forged a pill that harnessed the aura of death due to his physical condition. Not only was it ineffective upon consumption, it would even cause one's cultivation to go berserk.
A grade-7 pill was already at the level of a Saint pill. In fact, it was even capable of developing its own consciousness. If an apothecary's spirit was lacking … how could he possibly succeed?
He only had a single set of medicinal herbs. If he were to fail, there would be no second chances. In other words, he couldn't afford to fail this time around!
"Since none of you are confident, then … I'll have to offend you all then!"
Seeing the attitude of the crowd, Zhang Xuan knew that it would be difficult for him to regain his confidence within a short period of time. However, he didn't have the luxury of time to waste. Flicking his wrist, a pile of medicinal herbs fell to the ground. They were the medicinal herbs that the elders of the Apothecary School had prepared for him previously.
After which, he took in a deep breath and said, "There's no need for anything else. Let's start the pill forging now. These are the medicinal herbs. Apothecary Lu, purify the medicinal essence of the Alfalfa Honeysuckle Flower. Apothecary Qiu, roast the Truebeard Flower with a slow flame. Apothecary Liu …"
Zhang Xuan spoke swiftly, carrying a unique charm to it. Everyone had their own tasks to do.
The apothecaries were just about to turn down Zhang Xuan's orders when they suddenly felt their heads spinning. Following the other party's instructions, they began to refine the medicinal herbs.
"Impartation of Heaven's Will?"
Looking at the disobedient hands and movements, everyone narrowed their eyes in astonishment.
No matter how foolish they were, it was clear that the young man before them had used Impartation of Heaven's Will on them!
They were all 6-star pinnacle master teachers, and their cultivation and Soul Depth were among the top few in the Master Teacher Academy. Yet, they had actually succumbed to the Impartation of Heaven's Will!
"His Soul Depth … has probably exceeded 21!"
Everyone was astonished.
To be able to command everyone and make the Impartation of Heaven's Will work, the young man's Soul Depth was far above theirs. Most likely, it had already reached … the level of a Seven Star master teacher!
For a twenty-year-old freshman to have a Soul Depth of 21 … Even the Sage Clans didn't have such a talented genius!
Perhaps these people, who had never worked together before, could really work together and create a miracle!
