"Freshly forged pills?"
Mo Yu was taken aback. With quivering lips, she asked, "Can it be that... is the forging a success?"
Due to the explosion of the cauldron, everyone thought that it was a failure. However, Zhang Xuan carried in his hands round pills which exuded a powerful yang attribute aura. What else could those pills be other than the Searing Sun Pill?
"A success?"
"How is that possible?"
With Mo Yu’s exclamation, everyone turned their attention to the pills in Zhang Xuan’s hands and upon seeing the pills in his hands, turned dumbfounded one by one.
What is going on?
To think that... pills were actually ford!
Zhu Jinhuang and Zhou Xuan’s body stiffened, and they felt as though they had been slapped in their faces.
They had just criticized the other party for attempting sothing beyond his ans, and in the next mont, he whipped out these pills...
Even the cauldron had been blown into smithereens, where could this stuff have co from?
If not for the fact that the pills had a lustrous appearance and were emanating heat, which scread that they were freshly out of the cauldron, the crowd would have suspected if he had prepared these pills beforehand to play out this act.
"Didn’t the cauldron explode? Your pills..."
Trembling, Zhu Jinhuang asked.
The others in the room also swiftly turned their heads over. Unable to believe the sight before them, they experienced fainting spells.
"Who says that it is impossible for pills to be successfully forged in the case of a cauldron explosion?" Zhang Xuan lifted his eyebrows.
"Is it possible for pills to be ford even with a cauldron explosion?"
Everyone felt faint.
It was common knowledge that a cauldron explosion was a sign of the failure of a pill forging process. Yet, this fellow broke all preconceptions. Despite the broken cauldron, the pill remained completely intact. What in the world happened?
"What is going on?"
Hall Master Feng couldn’t help but ask.
As the hall master of the Beast Hall, he had co across by all sorts of bizarre happenings. Even so, he had never heard of such a thing.
"The cauldron rely acts as an interdiary for pill forging. The main factors that result in the formation of the pill are the flas and the dicinal herbs!"
Seeing that everyone’s eyes were widened in disbelief, Zhang Xuan explained.
"Earlier, because Mo Yu xiaojie placed in a dicinal herb at the wrong timing, the dicinal properties within the cauldron clashed, resulting in the violent reaction. Even so, at the very last mont, right before the mont of the explosion, the rise in heat forced the pills to form successfully."
If the other party had followed his instructions strictly, she would surely have been able to successfully forge the Searing Sun Pill without any mishap. However, Mo Yu’s attention wandered at a crucial mont, resulting in a mistake.
Even so, as long as Mo Yu continued forging the pill, the book in the Library of Heaven’s Path would continue to refresh itself. Thus, he chose not to give up, and instead, continued instructing to her, trying to avoid all mistakes in the process. Even though the cauldron eventually exploded, the pills were ford at the very last mont.
"The pills ford at the mont of explosion?"
"This..."
Everyone stared at one another in a frenzy.
The situation sounded even more incredulous after hearing the explanation.
How did you know that the pills had ford given that it was in the cauldron then?
Furthermore, to form them at the mont of explosion... How much mastery does one need to possess over dicinal herbs in order to do this?
Just when everyone thought he was only skilled in beast taming, he stood out and showcased his dical knowledge; just when everyone thought that possessing so dical knowledge should be the real limit of his abilities, he ran forward and declared that he was an apothecary...
Fine, we’ll accept that you are an apothecary. After all, while it’s rare, it’s not impossible for one to be skilled in multiple occupations. Yet... You don’t know how to forge pills.
Fine, we’ll take that as well.
However... Despite being unable to forge pills yourself, you are able to guide a 1-star apothecary to successfully forge a grade-2 pill. Furthermore, for the pill to be ford at the mont of the explosion... This is inconceivable!
People often said that geniuses are eccentric. However... Aren’t you being too eccentric!
Each and every single ti, you exceed all of our expectations and accomplish the unthinkable!
"Even though the cauldron exploded, because the pills were within the cauldron, they managed to survive the primary impact. However, if I didn’t swiftly rush forward to guard them, the shock wave from the explosion would still reduce the pills to powder. Thus, I rushed forward to grab the pills at the mont of the explosion. It is fortunate that I managed to make it in ti!"
Zhang Xuan explained. Then, he turned to Mo Yu, and with an earnest look, he said, "The reason why I charged forward was really to save the pills. Because you were apothecary, when the pills form, they would definitely fly in your direction. Thus, standing before you was the ideal location to catch it. Please do not misunderstand, I really didn’t an to save you..."
"You..."
Seeing the other party explaining the situation to her earnestly, Mo Yu’s face twitched. Rage surged through her trembling body, and she nearly exploded.
When she saw the other party charging forward to protect without care for his personal safety, she was incredibly moved. Yet, now with Zhang Xuan’s words, the goodwill she held for him vanished without a single trace.
Damn it!
Can’t you say anything good?
To have won the favor of a beautiful lady by mistake, even if it wasn’t one’s original intention to do so, one would usually accept it politely. Yet, Zhang Xuan was in a rush to deny the fact, as though it would blemish his reputation...
No matter what, she is a top beauty, and, not to ntion, is the princess of a Tier 1 Kingdom.
To be in such a rush to deny the matter... What do you an by that?
Are you saying that I am not worthy of you? Or do you find my looks repulsive?
Mo Yu gritted her teeth angrily. If she didn’t know that she wasn’t a match for him, she would have long stepped forward in an attempt to give him a good bashing.
Taking a few deep breaths, she forcefully suppressed the anger within her heart. Then with tightly clenched jaws, she said, "I’m the princess of Tianwu Kingdom, and I won’t owe anyone a favor. No matter what, you saved . So, feel free to speak of anything you want!"
"That’s to say... I’ll receive a reward for saving you?" Zhang Xuan was stunned.
"That’s right!" Mo Yu spat out.
"So that’s the case!"
Putting on a serious expression, he said grandly, "Actually, it was because I noticed your precarious situation that I rushed forward despite the personal risks. As for the pill... That was of secondary concern! Saving you was my greatest priority. Look, I’ve even sustained injuries on your behalf. Honestly, I won’t mind if you pay ten million or so. Otherwise, so pills for the wounds would do..."
"..." Mo Yu.
"..." Hall Master Feng and the others.
They’ve seen shaless people, but they’ve never seen such a shaless one.
Mo Yu was so infuriated that she nearly breathed her last.
After so much commotion, despite being a princess of a powerful country, the verdict was that her value was beneath that of gold and silver to the other party...
"What should we do now that the pill has been forged? Do we feed it directly to the Howling Firmant Beast?"
Hall Master Feng’s mouth twitched. Seeing that Mo Yu was on the verge of tears, he quickly interjected and changed the topic to avoid the awkward situation.
He was afraid that if he allowed things to progress like that, this princess of a Tier 1 Kingdom would die from anger.
"Oh, dissolve it in water and force it down the Howling Firmant Beast using zhenqi."
Zhang Xuan passed forward a Searing Sun Pill over. Then, he kept the remaining two into his storage ring.
"Alright!"
Upon hearing Zhang Xuan’s instructions, Hall Master Feng dissolved the pill in water anxiously and fed it to the unconscious Howling Firmant Beast.
Gugugu!
As the dicinal fluid entered the body of the Howling Firmant Beast, a sound reminiscent to the roar of lightning reverberated. Its body began to emanate a wave of heat, just like a pot of oil that has been set on fire.
Pi li pa la!
Soon, the noise of the cracking of bones sounded. The massive physique of the Howling Firmant Beast grew and expanded once more, and it beca just like an insurmountable mountain.
Hu!
The massive savage beast opened its eyes abruptly and released a long howl. The clouds parted imdiately, and its voice shook the entire valley.
Feeling its intimidating presence, all savage beasts fell silent imdiately and trembled in fear.
"Is this... Half-Zhizun?"
"He leapt straight from Zongshi realm to Half-Zhizun?"
Hall Master Feng’s lips quivered in agitation. On the other hand, Beast Tar Lu and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.
They knew that the Steelfang Howling Firmant Beast would grow significantly stronger after undergoing the Bloodline Evolution, but they didn’t think that it would be able to surpass Zongshi realm imdiately to reach Half-Zhizun!
Zhizun realm was the highest realm of a fighter. The strength of a Zhizun realm expert was several folds greater than that of a Zongshi realm cultivator, and every single Zhizun expert stood at the very top of the pyramid.
As a Half-Zhizun, the Howling Firmant Beast had yet to take the final step into the realm. Even so, it wasn’t far from it.
Even in Tier 1 Tianwu Kingdom, an expert of this level was considered as a national trump card!
With such a powerful savage beast in Xuanluo Mountain Range, the standing of the entire branch would rise exponentially.
"His words are right..."
Grandmaster Qing Yang’s complexion paled, and he staggered a few steps back.
While the other party’s words sounded logical, he had remained a little doubtful. However, upon witnessing the situation, the answer couldn’t be any more clear to him.
The other party’s conjecture was completely true. The Steelfang Howling Firmant Beast had fallen into a coma due to the clash of differing attributes within its body. If they were to have really treated it using the thod he had proposed, instead of making a breakthrough to Half-Zhizun, this powerful savage beast would have been dead by now.
As a 2-star physician, he had treated countless people. He didn’t expect that he would make such a grievous mistake because of a savage beast. In an instant, he looked as though he had aged a decade, and the imposing aura from when he first arrived faded into thin air.
"For a fellow who hasn’t reached twenty to be able to see through the root of the illness of the Howling Firmant Beast with a glance and guide a 1-star apothecary to forge a grade-2 pinnacle pill..."
Grandmaster Qing Yang’s lips trembled uncontrollably as he turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
The more he looked at him, the more he found the situation unbelievable.
Putting him aside, even the famous Liu shi of Beiwu Kingdom wasn’t capable of such a feat.
As long as such a person doesn’t die, he would definitely beco so well known in ti, his na resounding throughout the world.
"Young lad, what’s your na?"
Unable to hold himself back, he walked forward and asked.
"My na?" Zhang Xuan glanced at him. "I am an incompetent nobody!"
"Incompetent nobody?"
Grandmaster Qing Yang froze.
Previously, when the other party touched the Howling Firmant Beast, he insulted him as an ’incompetent nobody’, and demanded for Hall Master Feng to chase him out... To think that the other party would return those words to him now.
The Beast Hall specially invited him to treat the Howling Firmant Beast, but not only did he fail to do so, he nearly killed it. On the other hand, not only did the youngster who he called an incompetent nobody cure the beast of its illness, he even helped it break through and achieve Half-Zhizun...
At this mont, all Grandmaster Qing Yang could feel was a burning sensation on his face. Unable to remain here for a second longer, he said, "Hall Master Feng, Beast Tar Lu, and Beast Tar Wang, I’ll be taking my leave!"
After saying so, not even getting onto the savage beast he arrived on, he left the Beast Hall.
This ti, he had truly made a fool of himself. He felt too embarrassed to remain any further.
"This..."
Seeing how Zhang Xuan sent a grandmaster physician leaving in sha, everyone’s mouth twitched.
This fellow may seem to be casual and light-hearted, but when soone steps on his toes, he becos fearso monster.
They wouldn’t doubt it if soone said that he had killed a person with his words before!
"Beast Tar Liu, go and send off Grandmaster Qing Yang!"
Hall Master Feng didn’t expect Zhang Xuan to reply in such a manner. Smiling bitterly, he shook his head and made arrangents for the grandmaster physician.
In any case, Zhang Xuan was still young and, not to ntion, he was capable. It was natural for him to retaliate when soone insulted him.
"Yes!" The elder rushed out imdiately.
Even though Grandmaster Qing Yang had misdiagnosed the Howling Firmant Beast, it didn’t an that he was incompetent. On top of that, he specialized in treating humans rather than savage beasts. Furthermore, which physician could ensure that every single one of their diagnosis was accurate?
Even a 9-star physician would be unable to achieve that.
There are many different kind of bizarre illnesses in the world. No one would dare to claim that they’ve seen all of the illness there is in the world and that they can treat all kinds of sickness.
Huala!
Soon after Beast Tar Lu left, the aura of the Howling Firmant Beast finally hit a ceiling and stopped rising. Turning around its gigantic head, its gaze fell on Zhang Xuan. Then with a roar, it walked to him, lowered its head, and rubbed it against him.
"Is this... Voluntary Submission?"
Even though the Steelfang Howling Firmant Beast was raised by the Beast Hall, it had never submitted to anyone.
Yet, at this instant, it actually took the initiative to submit to Zhang Xuan. The eyeballs of all beast tars on the scene popped out imdiately, and they were just a slight push away from fainting.
This was especially so for Hall Master Feng. His entire body trembled, and he was on the verge of tears.
He was just thinking that the Beast Hall could rise to greater heights with a Half-Zhizun savage beast backing it, yet this savage beast chose to submit to soone else. The mont it leaves with its owner... Without a backing, how could the Beast Hall rise?
"You wish to submit to ?"
Zhang Xuan was stunned for a mont before he realized the intentions of the Howling Firmant Beast.
Most likely, this fellow found out that it was Zhang Xuan who saved it after waking up and decided to acknowledge Zhang Xuan as its master out of gratitude.
"Alright!"
It just happened that Zhang Xuan was unsatisfied with the Viridescent Eagle’s speed. Since the Howling Firmant Beast had reached Half-Zhizun, its speed should be sufficient to et his expectations.
With a tap of his finger, a droplet of blood flew into the mouth of the Howling Firmant Beast.
The other party’s intention to submit to him could be felt imdiately.
It was exactly as Zhang Xuan had guessed. The Howling Firmant Beast found out that soone nearly castrated it, and that it was Zhang Xuan who saved its life and helped it achieve a breakthrough, that’s why it chose to submit to him.
After choosing a master, it could communicate with its master if anything happens. At the very least, it wouldn’t be put into such danger in the future.
"Un!"
Upon realizing these, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction.
On this trip to the Beast Hall, he had tad three savage beasts and even beca a 1-star beast tar. This was a huge gain for Zhang Xuan.
"Ah, right! Hall Master Feng, how does the 2-star beast tar examination go? I asked you this question previously, but you’ve only answered half of it and..."
Suddenly recalling a matter, Zhang Xuan could not help but ask.
Previously, after he inquired how the 2-star beast tar examination worked, Grandmaster Qing Yang happened to arrive. Due to the urgent matter at hand, Hall Master Feng rushed off imdiately, and the session ended abruptly. Since the issue had been settled, the Hall Master was free and Zhang Xian could clarify his doubts and decide whether he should take the 2-star examination.
Even though he already possessed this Steelfang Howling Firmant Beast, it would be a waste to allow this opportunity to take the 2-star beast tar examination slip him by. Besides, there might co a ti when he would need to borrow Zongshi realm Beast Mounts from other Beast Halls.
"For the 2-star beast tar examination..."
Hall Master Feng shook his head, "There’s no need for you to take it!"
"There’s no need for to take the examination?"
"Yes, that’s because... you’ve already passed the examination! You’re already a 2-star beast tar!"
Hall Master Feng flashed a bitter smile.
