"Eccentric Old Man? Where is he? Bring me over to take a look! "Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Since there was someone who had it, he could just buy it from them.
"This …"
With a bitter smile, Hu Yunsheng said, "If only it were that simple! The Eccentric Old Man has a terrible temper, and he's impervious to both force and persuasion. Money isn't a problem that can be solved. He never sells his treasures and medicinal herbs. Previously, the city lord was in urgent need of a medicinal herb, so he prepared a huge sum of spirit stones, enough to buy three of them. Yet … he was thrown out of the room before he could even enter … "
"Even the city lord was thrown out? Is that person very powerful? "Zhang Xuan frowned.
To be able to become the city lord of Jingyuan City, the other party's cultivation should have reached Saint 1-dan at the very least. For such an expert to be thrown out of the room … it was likely that the Eccentric Old Man's strength wasn't as simple as he thought.
"His cultivation is the same as mine, Saint 1-dan intermediate stage. However … he has a Saint 2-dan tamed beast …"
Hu Yunsheng said.
"He's a beast tamer?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
To be able to tame a Saint 2-dan tamed beast as a Saint 1-dan cultivator, the other party's beast tamer rank must have reached Seven Star.
Even the Master Teacher Academy didn't have such an expert, so how could a remote city in the empire have such a person?
"I don't know, but that tamed beast of his is extremely obedient. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be thrown out of the room. Even I don't dare to mess around …"
Hu Yunsheng said.
After chatting for a while longer, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.
Through Hu Yunsheng's words, he could tell that the Eccentric Old Man was indeed an eccentric person. He loved collecting all kinds of treasures, and he had cultivated many rare medicinal herbs as well.
Under normal circumstances, these treasures would usually be sold at a high price. Yet, strangely enough, the Eccentric Old Man never sold them. In fact, he couldn't even enter the room.
"Bring me to take a look!" No matter how eccentric the Eccentric Old Man was, he was definitely trying to lure the poison masters over and use them to find the Poison Temple.
After flying for ten days, Wei Ruyan still hadn't woken up. This meant that her poison was getting more and more severe, and if she wasn't treated soon, her life could very well be in danger. There was no way he could shirk this responsibility.
"Look for him?" Hu Yunsheng's face turned bitter. "I fear that not only will I be rejected, I might even be thrown out …"
The young man had just arrived at Jingyuan City, so he was unaware of how fearsome the Eccentric Old Old Old Man was. He had experienced it himself. Even the city lord was helpless before, let alone them.
He had paid the Eccentric Old man a few times in the past, but without any, he had been thrown out each time.
"It's fine." Zhang Xuan shook his head.
His current identity was that of a poison master, not a master teacher. As such, there was no need for him to abide by so many rules.
He Yforward. Up. "Man.
As, he would would would be. Looking at the other party's expression, Hu Yunsheng knew that he could not dissuade him. His life was in the other party's hands, so he could only nod helplessly.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the room, they saw Zhu Xiao walking up to them. Seeing that not only did his boss not kill the middle-aged man, but he was even following behind him like a subordinate, Zhu Xiao's face was filled with disbelief.
However, there was nothing Hu Yunsheng could do about it. With a reddened face, he instructed Zhu Xiao and the others to keep an eye on Inkcloud Quarter while he led the way.
If he wasn't poisoned, he could have hinted to his subordinates to gather more men to ambush Sun Qiang in the surroundings. However, as long as the poison wasn't cured, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Otherwise, he might die before he could even make a move.
Furthermore, it was very likely that his subordinates would be poisoned to death while the other party would be fine.
If poison masters could be killed that easily, the Poison Temple would have long ceased to exist.
The residence of the Eccentric Old Man wasn't too far away from Inkcloud Quarter. After walking for a while, a small residence came into sight.
The door to the residence was tightly shut, and there was a 'Closed Door' sign on it. There wasn't even a guard in sight, and it was hard to tell that a Saint realm expert was residing in the residence.
"Knock on the door!"
Zhang Xuan walked up and instructed.
"This … Are we going to knock on the door just like that? Don't we need to prepare a name scroll? "Hu Yunsheng was taken aback.
Normally, one would have to present a name scroll and state one's identity and purpose of visit … Knocking on the door without any preparation, was he really going to enter just like that?
The other party was an eccentric person, and he didn't have any manners at all.
"Just knock on the door!"
Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
Regardless of whether he was eccentric or not, as long as he was human, he would have desires and pursuits. With these, he was confident that he would be able to convince the other party to sell his medicine obediently.
"Alright then …" Seeing that the other party wasn't listening to his advice, Hu Yunsheng shook his head and walked up to the door to knock on it.
Dong dong dong dong!
His voice was exceptionally loud and clear in the quiet alley, reverberating in all directions.
Jiya!
The door to the Eccentric Old Man's residence didn't open, but the door to the residence opposite slowly opened. Following which, an elder and a servant walked out.
"There's no need to knock. The person inside won't come out to meet you!"
The elder glanced at the duo and said.
"Won't meet you?" Zhang Xuan frowned. "Are you a servant of the Eccentric Old Man?"
"Of course not. I am just an admirer of the elder …" The elder waved his hands.
"Continue knocking on the door then!"
Hearing that the other party had nothing to do with the Eccentric Old Man, Zhang Xuan turned around and gestured for Hu Yunsheng to continue.
"You …"
Seeing that the fellow before him was completely unmoved by his advice, the elder frowned.
The face of the servant darkened as well. He walked up and glared at Zhang Xuan intently. "How dare you speak to our master in such a manner? Do you know who he is?"
Zhang Xuan shot a glance at the other party, but he couldn't be bothered to respond to him.
Who cares who you are? Do you know who I am?
You will be scared to death if I tell you …
Dong dong dong!
He knocked on the door once more.
Not expecting to be ignored, the servant's complexion turned awful. He stepped forward and said, "Our master is the guild leader of the Physician Guild, Master Zhou Xuan!"
"Zhou Xuan?"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "I don't know him! Continue knocking! "
"Yes!"
Hu Yunsheng's lips twitched.
He hadn't interacted much with Zhou Xuan, so he only thought that the other party looked familiar. However, upon hearing the introduction, he finally remembered who the other party was.
The guild leader of the Physician Guild … Even the city lord would treat him with respect, not daring to show the slightest disrespect. Yet, this fellow actually ignored him … Just the thought of it left Hu Yunsheng frenzied.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. Thus, he could only feign ignorance and continue knocking on the door.
Seeing the other party's actions, both the servant and the elder, Zhou Xuan, felt frenzied.
The guild leader of the Jingyuan City Physician Guild was a person whose standing was on par with the city lord … As long as one was a human, who wouldn't suffer from injuries or illnesses at some point in time?
As such, even if the guild leaders of other guilds dared to offend him, no one would dare to provoke him.
Yet, this person directly ignored him, treating him as air ….
"Did you hear what I just said? Our master is a 6-star physician! "the servant spat through gritted teeth.
"Of course I did. The one I'm looking for is the Eccentric Old Man, not him!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
The other party was just a 6-star physician. Three months ago, a 6-star pinnacle vice school head had nearly been killed by him, let alone this fellow.
"You …"
The servant nearly fainted from anger.
6-star physicians were existences respected and respected no matter where they went. Yet, this fellow actually … didn't care about them at all?
Damn it!
Don't you know the benefits of befriending a doctor? Do you know the price you have to pay for offending a doctor?
Just as the servant was about to say something, Master Zhou Xuan suddenly raised his hand to stop him. Walking forward, he said, "Friend, I don't know who you are, so it's fine if you don't care about my identity. However, since Elder Eccentric Old Man is unwilling to meet anyone, it's useless even if you continue knocking on the door!"
As the guild leader of the Physician Guild, Master Zhou Xuan had seen many people in his life. Given how the other party was able to maintain his composure despite knowing his identity, it was clear that the other party was no ordinary person.
As such, unlike the servant, he didn't berate the other party loudly. Instead, he spoke in a consoling tone.
"Unwilling to meet anyone?"
"Indeed. Elder Eccentric Old Man has an eccentric temper. Even the city lord had to pass his name card several times before coming to visit. I advise you to prepare your name card first and find someone to pass it over for you. Otherwise, knocking on the door here will only incur the other party's disgust …"
Master Zhou Xuan continued.
He was speaking the truth.
The Eccentric Old Man's temper was simply too eccentric. Even he, who lived across the street, would not meet the other party even if he came knocking on the door every day. Given that a stranger like him would knock on the door without any preparation, wouldn't the other party refuse to meet him even more?
"Is that so?" Zhang Xuan frowned. Shaking his head helplessly, he said, "Since that's the case …"
Hearing those words, Zhou Xuan thought that the other party would back down and prepare his name card. However, upon hearing the other party's words, he nearly tripped and fell to the ground.
"… Hu Yunsheng, break down the door!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands casually, as if he had just done something as simple as that.
"Break down the door!" Hu Yunsheng's lips twitched, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
"Un!" Zhang Xuan glanced at Hu Yunsheng impassively. "Why don't I do it?"
Knowing that Hu Yunsheng would not dare to obey such a rebellious order, Zhang Xuan stepped forward and placed his palm on the door. Gathering his strength, he began channeling his zhenqi into the door.
Hong long!
The door was made of wood, so how could it possibly withstand his strength? In an instant, it shattered into pieces and flew into the courtyard.
A deafening sound echoed in the air, and a cloud of dust rose.
"This …"
Seeing that the other party wasn't joking at all, Zhou Xuan's body trembled, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
I told you not to disturb me … Yet, you broke down the door instead …
He was so angry that his vision darkened and his breathing quickened. He was almost out of breath.
Where in the world did this reckless fellow pop out from?
Initially, he didn't pay much heed to the Eccentric Old Man, thinking that the other party was just putting on airs. As the guild leader of the Physician Guild, he should welcome the other party personally. However, after witnessing the other party's treatment, he realized that the other party's medical skills were far superior to his. In other words … the Eccentric Old Man could very well be a 6-star pinnacle or even … a Seven Star physician!
This was precisely the reason why he had rented the house across the street and paid respects to the other party every single day, hoping that he would be able to win the other party's favor one day.
It was also for this reason that he ran out to dissuade the other party when he heard someone knocking on the door so as to leave a good impression on the other party.
But … he had already dissuaded the other party, and he had already said what he needed to say. Why was this fellow so useless? How could he allow someone to destroy the door with a single punch?
What was he to do now?
The Eccentric Old Man would surely fly into a rage!
"Isn't that settled? Let's go in!"
Paying no heed to the frenzied Zhou Xuan, Zhang Xuan waved his hands and walked in.
