Chapter 1526: News of Sun Qiang

Creak, creak!

As the meridians slowly entered her body, Zhao Ya's entire temperament underwent earth-shaking changes, becoming purer, detached from the mortal world, untouched by any trace of worldly affairs.

This method of re-forging meridians is truly extraordinary...

The method for re-forging meridians that Teacher Yang gave also inflicts pain, but it takes who knows how long to recover one's vitality. His method, though equally damaging to the body, can change a person's temperament, showing it is many times more sophisticated.

However, the speed of re-forging meridians is relatively slow; it might take about a day...

The vines entering her body and then rearranging the meridian network is a slow process, estimated to take at least a day!

Moreover, it cannot be interrupted midway.

Too slow!

He couldn't help but sigh.

Since he started cultivating, whether training or breaking through, it rarely took more than an hour. Re-forging meridians would take a whole day, leaving Zhang Xuan utterly helpless.

However, she was his personal disciple; even if it took a long time, he could only proceed slowly and dared not be reckless.

Slow? Hearing his sigh, Teacher Yang on the side couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "When I helped someone re-forge a single meridian, it took a full three years. You're re-forging the entire body in just one day, and you call that slow?"

It seemed his senior brother didn't know the difficulty of re-forging meridians... With his strength, even one meridian took three years. One day and he's still not satisfied?

Three years?

Zhang Xuan was speechless.

If it really took three years to re-forge a single meridian, he would definitely not do it and would find another way to help Zhao Ya restore her strength.

Soon, most of the day had passed.

Maintaining intense concentration, Zhang Xuan was also exhausted.

However, as Zhao Ya's meridians recovered more and more, not only did her aura increase, but her entire temperament and appearance underwent earth-shaking changes. If before she was a bud yet to bloom, now she was in full blossom.

It seems that once her meridians are fully restored, her Pure Yin constitution will be activated without any hindrance!

Seeing his student's transformation, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Earlier, he had been thinking about how to activate her constitution after the meridians recovered. Judging by the current situation, after the Cave Void Vine replaced the meridians, even if it didn't fully activate the constitution, it was not far from completion.

With this step taken, even without the Ice Field Palace's cauldron technique, it should be easily accomplished later.

Miraculous...

Standing behind, watching all this, Teacher Yang's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

With his insight and experience, he could naturally see that Zhang Xuan's method of re-forging meridians was many times more sophisticated than his own. Witnessing it firsthand, many aspects were beyond his understanding, requiring careful thought and even reference to materials to grasp.

A novice at re-forging meridians could achieve this... Truly worthy of being a Heaven-recognized master teacher, possessing abilities beyond ordinary imagination.

Hmm?

Just as he was marveling, a jade token appeared in his palm. He glanced down and frowned.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing the change in his expression, Zhang Xuan continued what he was doing with his hands, but his eyes turned to look over.

Reconstructing the meridians only required that the process not be interrupted; talking and such did not affect it.

“It’s… Senior Brother’s steward!” Yang Shi hurriedly looked over.

“Steward? You mean Sun Qiang? What happened to him?”

Zhang Xuan frowned.

He had left the Saint Son Hall in a hurry back then and hadn’t had time to attend to him. However, as long as that fellow didn’t court death by leaving, he should be perfectly safe—no one would cause him trouble.

“Knowing he was an impostor… I had someone bring him to the headquarters of the Master Teacher Hall. But who would have thought… after learning the truth, he was so devastated that he went awry in his cultivation and could die at any moment…”

Yang Shi paused for a moment, then relayed the contents of the jade token.

“That’s impossible!”

Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes. “The method he cultivates was personally taught by me, and on top of that, he’s somewhat lazy. How could he go awry, and even end up on the verge of death?”

Sun Qiang’s cultivation technique had been personally imparted by him. Even if it wasn’t at the Heavenly Dao level, it had still reached a simplified level with very few errors. As long as he cultivated earnestly, there was absolutely no risk of qi deviation… How could problems arise just because of disappointment?

“It might be that someone in the Master Teacher Hall, wanting to probe the mysteries of Senior Brother’s technique from him, gave guidance that didn’t quite match, thus causing the error…”

His face reddening, Yang Shi said.

He knew those people in the Master Teacher Hall well; they meant no harm, but were driven by curiosity and astonishment.

A butler and servant of very ordinary talent, able to improve so quickly—it would be strange not to be curious about his cultivation method!

On top of that, Sun Qiang's worldview had completely collapsed. Surrounded by nine-star masters and questioned in detail, even if he didn't leak the technique, it was only natural for him to cultivate according to their methods.

As a result, conflicts with his previous cultivation could easily lead to situations like qi deviation.

"Hmm, that must be it..."

Hearing his analysis, Zhang Xuan nodded, his face ashen. Wanting to go rescue someone, he saw that Zhao Ya's side wasn't finished yet and had to stop. "Junior Brother, I can't leave here. I might have to trouble you to bring Sun Qiang over. He has followed me since the Tianxuan Empire, and I don't want him to suffer any harm!"

The other party was Master Yang. As long as he stepped in, Sun Qiang would certainly be safe. Moreover, at the headquarters of the Master Teacher Pavilion, his presence was better than Zhang Xuan's own, and besides, he really couldn't leave now.

"That's simple. I was the one who had him brought to the headquarters, so naturally I'll take responsibility..."

Master Yang nodded with a smile, then frowned. "But your meridians reconstruction cannot be disturbed. If I leave like this, what if danger arises..."

Reconstructing meridians was extremely complicated and could not be interrupted. With him present, he could protect the process. Once he left, if something went wrong, he wouldn't make it back in time to help.

"I'm fine here. Apart from you, no one should know about my disguised identity. If you notify the Blacksmith Guild, no one should dare to cause trouble. So there's no danger... But Sun Qiang's matter can't be delayed!"

Zhang Xuan said.

Although the Empire Alliance had a Master Teacher Pavilion, with his disguise ability, it would be a long time before they could uncover him. Besides, Master Yang had only revealed his identity as a nine-star blacksmith, not his master teacher identity, so it wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Moreover, Zhao Ya's meridians had already been mostly restored. In at most two or three hours, it would be completely finished. And since he didn't want her to see the modified meridians, having an excuse to make her leave was for the best.

"Alright, I'll completely seal this place... Going to the headquarters, I can use the Icefield Palace's teleportation array, so it won't take too long..."

After thinking it over, knowing that the other party was right and that Sun Qiang's matter couldn't be delayed, Master Yang nodded. He grabbed the air with his hand, completely sealing the surroundings, then breathed a sigh of relief, stamped his foot, and flew off toward the Icefield Palace.
