Chapter 1393 Sun Qiang's Fury (Part 1)

"The headquarters of the Master Teacher Hall, second only to the Hall Master, one of the strongest in the world?"

His body trembling, Sun Qiang was so excited he nearly jumped up.

Earlier, he thought the old master was at most an eight-star master teacher, and with such strength, he'd better keep a low profile in the Holy Son Hall, not be too ostentatious—after all, masters of that level were a dime a dozen, everywhere...

He never dreamed it would be so formidable!

Supreme Elder of the Master Teacher Hall headquarters, nine-star master teacher, one of the strongest in the world... any one of these titles was overwhelmingly powerful!

Uttering them would shake the entire world!

He was just a seller of second-hand houses and a housing agent from the Tianxuan Kingdom, yet he had gained the appreciation and affirmation of such a person... A deep sense of pride welled up in his heart.

"A nine-star master teacher has exceptional vision. If he took a liking to me, perhaps I also have hidden talents..."

His eyes flickering, Sun Qiang was excited.

He had always thought of himself as mediocre, nothing compared to others. Now that he knew the old master was such a formidable expert, he realized that he might be one in ten thousand—a genius.

Otherwise, how could a dignified nine-star master teacher be so good to him and entrust him with the important task of taking care of his personal disciple?

"To be favored by such a person is Zhang Shi's fortune, but to have a student like Zhang Shi, Master Yang must also be extremely pleased..."

As if sensing his pride, Zhang Jiuxiao sighed.

Others thought Zhang Xuan had cultivated eight lifetimes of blessings to become Yang Xuan's disciple, but he knew that as a Heaven-recognized master teacher, once made public, all master teachers on the continent would be willing to take him as a disciple.

After his sigh, he suddenly recalled the other's question and looked over in confusion: "As Master Yang's steward, you don't know his true identity?"

It was understandable that he didn't know, but the other party had met Master Yang—how could he not know either?

"The old master is low-key by nature and unwilling to show off, so I was unaware..." Sun Qiang said.

"I see. This is what a true master teacher is like..."

Zhang Jiuxiao sighed sincerely.

A true master teacher is not burdened by fame. Clearly, Master Yang was such a person.

"This place has been fully restored, so I won't stay any longer. Farewell..."

After chatting a bit more, Zhang Jiuxiao turned and left.

Watching him go, Sun Qiang's eyes flickered with light as he thought about their conversation, and he clenched his plump fists again.

"The young master previously asked me to inquire about top-grade spirit stones, but I was hesitant and didn't inquire properly. Now that I know the old master's identity, what is there to fear?"

With a laugh, his plump body rose from the stool. He flicked his sleeves and strode out.

As the steward of the world's number one, whose master was a nine-star master teacher, on par with the Holy Son Hall's Hall Master, asking about some matters was nothing.

Before long, he arrived at the Message Hall.

Here, not only could one consolidate the mind, temper character, and facilitate tribulation crossing for cultivators, but it was also a place for transmitting and exchanging various information. Almost all student missions of the Holy Son Hall were issued from here.

After searching around, he came to a spacious hall and entered.

In a corner of the room sat a young man in his twenties, dressed in a black robe, looking somewhat languid.

"Please show your identity token!"

Seeing him approach, the young man extended his hand.

Flipping his wrist, Sun Qiang handed over the token Zhang Xuan had obtained for him.

"A steward of a new student?"

Glancing at it, the young man sneered and casually tossed the token back. Lifting his eyelids, he said, "Speak, what information do you want? Your young master just became a Holy Son Hall student—does he want to participate in a trial?"

Many newly arrived young students would come to him to buy trial information, looking for something simple and easy to complete.

"Our young master isn't participating in any trial..."

Sun Qiang shook his head. "I want to ask where in the Holy Son Hall one can exchange for top-grade spirit stones, or corresponding spirit liquids and pills."

"Top-grade spirit stones?"

The young man frowned, then waved his hand. "I don't have such information here. You can leave."

"You don't?"

Sun Qiang was puzzled. "I've inquired all over the Message Hall, and everyone said only you here can find them. How could you not have them?"

The reason he came directly here was that he had inquired beforehand.

Almost no one else knew much about top-grade spirit stones; only this person could find them and exchange them.

"I said no means no. Show the guest out..."

Waving his hand, the young man looked impatient. Just as he was about to order a servant to throw this fellow out, an old man approached.

"I need a top-grade spirit stone to consolidate my strength. Please help me exchange for one..."

Flipping his wrist, the old man took out a pile of rare ores and sacred beast fur and claws, handing them over.

Sun Qiang could tell at a glance that these were valuable items.

Some powerful sacred beast fur and claws, when used to make weapons and armor, were even stronger than those crafted by blacksmiths, extremely precious.

"Elder, please wait..."

Seemingly recognizing the old man as an elder of the Holy Son Hall, the young man quickly turned and went back. After a while, he returned with a jade box.

Opening it gently, spiritual energy surged forth. A spirit stone radiated intense light, its aura stirring.

"Thank you..."

Seeing it was indeed a top-grade spirit stone, the old man sighed in relief, flipped his wrist to put away the jade box, and turned to leave.

Watching him go, Sun Qiang's face showed displeasure. "Didn't you say you had no information about top-grade spirit stones? How come you exchanged one as soon as he brought out items?"

"That was Elder Qian of the Holy Son Hall, an eight-star master teacher. You're just a steward of a new student—what business do you have meddling? Get lost!"

The young man waved his hand impatiently.

"What do you mean?"

Sun Qiang's gaze turned cold. "Although I'm a steward of a new student, I'm not without money. A top-grade spirit stone, though precious, can still be bought if I want to..."

"Bought?"

The young man sneered. "Do you have the qualifications to buy? Top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare across the continent; each one used is one less. A steward of a new student wanting to buy one... how ridiculous!"

Top-grade spirit stones, due to their scarcity, required status for transactions. Without sufficient status, one couldn't buy them even if they wanted to.

Thus, even in the Holy Son Hall, no one had seen them in circulation.

"No qualifications? You mean I'm not qualified to buy?"

His face darkening, Sun Qiang narrowed his eyes.

"That's right! Get lost now, and don't bother me here. Otherwise, do you believe I'll have someone throw you out?"

Waving his hand in utter impatience, the young man barked.

"Throw me out?"

Flicking his sleeves, Sun Qiang's eyes narrowed, his demeanor carrying an inviolable aura. He bellowed, "How dare you! Do you know who I am?"
