Chapter 343: A Solution for Congenital Fetal Toxin

Hall Master Jiang followed Liu Ling into the main hall.

"Greetings, Teacher!" He clasped his hands and bowed, but before he could continue, his teacher's voice rang out: "Does our Master Teacher Hall have any materials or introductions about the 'Heavenly Human, Master Kong'?"

"Heavenly Human, Master Kong?"

Hall Master Jiang was taken aback: "Master Kong's matters are recorded in the Two-Star Library, but not in much detail..."

"Take me there!" Hearing the confirmation, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.

Although congenital fetal toxin had little effect on him now, its limitation on lifespan was still quite troubling.

It would naturally be best to resolve it in advance.

"Yes!" Hall Master Jiang nodded.

Although the Two-Star Library of the Master Teacher Hall only allowed Two-Star master teachers to enter, his teacher's strength was certainly far beyond Two-Star and could enter freely to observe.

Following behind Jiang Shu, he headed toward the Master Teacher Hall.

The distance between the residence and the Master Teacher Hall was not far, and it didn't take long to reach the Two-Star Library.

Letting Hall Master Jiang not follow, Zhang Xuan walked in alone.

There were many books in the library. Since he had nothing much to do at the moment, he sped through them.

In half a day, he had absorbed all the books in the Two-Star Library into his mind.

"Master Kong!"

With a thought, two books appeared before him.

He casually flipped them open.

"Heavenly Human, Master Kong, innate soul power entering sagehood..."

The books detailed some of Master Kong's deeds.

After carefully studying Master Kong's deeds before the age of thirty twice, he indeed noticed something amiss.

This Master Kong was not only highly talented but also extremely diligent in cultivation. To enhance his strength, he took risks, diving into deep seas, entering wild plains, and descending into underground caverns three times... Before even reaching thirty, he had attained the realm of Nine-Star Master Teacher!

However, after reaching this realm, his cultivation seemed to slow down. The rest involved teaching the world, establishing the Master Teacher Hall, and regulating the entire continent... Although his deeds remained glorious, they were clearly different from his earlier struggles.

"Could it be... that reaching Nine-Star Master Teacher is the key to resolving congenital fetal toxin?"

His heart skipped a beat.

Unlike other professions, master teachers had extremely strict requirements for cultivation. For example, to assess for Two-Star, if one was not a Zongshi, the Beast Hall or Calligraphy and Painting Guild could issue badges, but in the Master Teacher Hall, one wouldn't even qualify for the assessment.

Therefore, reaching the Nine-Star level not only required a high soul force scale but also likely demanded one's personal cultivation to reach a shocking realm.

If it really required reaching such a realm to resolve congenital fetal toxin, that would be too much of a pitfall!

"Let me test it!"

A blank book appeared in his palm. Taking out a brush, Zhang Xuan casually wrote a sentence: "Reaching Nine-Star Master Teacher can resolve the fetal toxin."

He touched it with his finger.

Hum!

A book appeared. He quickly opened it, and his eyebrows jumped.

There was no error in the book in his mind, meaning... this sentence was correct!

"Only by reaching Nine-Star Master Teacher can I resolve congenital fetal toxin, meaning... I need to reach Nine-Star Master Teacher before the age of thirty?"

His body swayed, and Zhang Xuan felt like crying.

Damn it, is this too much of a trap?

Others had all kinds of awesome innate constitutions, like Zhao Ya and Yuan Tao... Once activated, they were majestic, and their strength skyrocketed like a rocket.

He got a congenital fetal toxin that would kill him upon activation, and it forced him to reach Nine-Star Master Teacher before thirty?

Is this for real?

A Nine-Star Master Teacher was the strongest being whose mere footstep could shake the entire continent.

Which one of them hadn't lived for who knows how many years? Reaching it before thirty...

Although he had the Library of Heaven's Path, making cultivation very simple, where could he find so much spiritual energy? More importantly... where could he find so many secret manuals to form a Heavenly Path cultivation technique?

Frustrated, he moved his mind and wrote another sentence.

"Besides reaching Nine-Star Master Teacher, there are other ways to resolve congenital fetal toxin."

He touched it again with his finger.

Hum!

A new book appeared, still without error.

"There are other ways..."

Seeing no error, Zhang Xuan became excited again.

However, after a moment of excitement, his face turned bitter again.

What use was knowing there were other methods? Without giving specific methods and directions, it was as good as unsolvable.

It was like knowing that turning into a bird would allow you to fly, but unfortunately... you couldn't transform, so all previous assumptions were nonsense.

"Forget it. Since there are other ways, I'll definitely find them. If all else fails, I'll test them one by one!"

After being frustrated for a while, he came to terms with it.

With the Library of Heaven's Path, although it couldn't give the correct solution, it could judge correctness. If necessary, he could test prescriptions one by one and eventually find the right one.

Anyway, he still had time before thirty, so there was no need to rush too much.

After spending most of the day, it was dark again outside. Stretching, Zhang Xuan walked out.

Leaving the Master Teacher Hall, he returned to the academy. After helping Lu Chong temper his poison body once more, he entered the small classroom and took out the spirit stone.

Inside the crystal-clear stone, spiritual energy writhed. As soon as he took it out of the jade box, it gave a warm and comfortable feeling.

"Cultivate!"

Since he had the Heavenly Path technique and the spirit stone, he didn't hesitate.

Everything else was false; strength was real.

With sufficient strength, even if he didn't pretend to be 'Yang Xuan,' everyone would respect him and not dare to defy him.

Placing the jade stone in his palm, he pressed his hands together and began to cultivate according to the Zongshi realm Heavenly Path technique's operation method.

Gurgle, gurgle!

Spiritual energy surged into his meridians like a tide, transforming into the purest true qi and slowly converging into his dantian.

And his cultivation level rose steadily under the infusion of spiritual energy.

Zongshi initial stage!

Zongshi middle stage!

After half an hour, his cultivation reached Zongshi middle stage, only a step away from Zongshi late stage.

Crack!

Just as he wanted to push through in one go and directly break through to Zongshi late stage, the spirit stone in his palm made a crisp sound and shattered into powder.

The spiritual energy in the spirit stone was exhausted.

"So useless?" Looking at the stone that had turned into fragments with no spiritual energy left, Zhang Xuan scratched his head.

He had thought that with this spirit stone, he could help him break through to Zongshi peak, but now it seemed... he had overthought it.

Although the spirit stone had a lot of spiritual energy, it had its limits. For other Zongshi cultivators, it might indeed allow them to reach Zongshi peak, but he was different.

Heavenly Path true qi was extremely pure, requiring higher quality absorbed spiritual energy. Any slight impurity rendered it useless. Thus, at least half of the spiritual energy in a spirit stone was wasted, and helping him reach Zongshi middle stage was already quite good!

"One spirit stone is not enough. Isn't that King asking me to treat an illness? If necessary, I can get two more..."

Having experienced the speed of breakthrough with a spirit stone, Zhang Xuan's mind became active.

Since this King could take out one as a gift, he might have several more. If he could get a few more, he could easily reach Zongshi peak!

With such strength, even without a master teacher identity, he could definitely walk sideways in the Tianwu Kingdom.

Having made up his mind, at dawn, he casually tossed the poison to Lu Chong, told him how to use it and to find a way to temper his poison body himself. Zhang Xuan then left the classroom and headed toward the palace.

...

Tianwu Royal Palace.

"Your Majesty Tianxue, our Prince Feixuan has traveled a long way specifically to propose marriage to Princess Moyu. Once Tianwu and our Kunkun Kingdom become allied, supporting each other, other kingdoms will surely not dare to have other intentions!"

In the great hall, an old man clasped his hands and addressed Mo Tianxue on the throne.

Ranmu Envoy of the Kunkun Kingdom.

A Zongshi peak powerhouse.

Beside him was a young man, about twenty-four or twenty-five, handsome and imposing, who had actually reached the Tongxuan realm peak!

The young man stared straight at Princess Moyu nearby, not hiding his admiration.

However, Moyu frowned slightly, seemingly not only uninterested in this prince but also somewhat disgusted.

"Envoy Ranmu, don't be anxious. Moyu is my most beloved child. Her marriage can be discussed later; no rush, no rush!" Mo Tianxue neither refused nor agreed.

"Your Majesty Tianxue has said this several times already. I have accompanied the prince this time to finalize this matter!"

Envoy Ranmu smiled: "I heard that your country's guardian beast has run into some trouble and has been trapped by a formation. Is that true?"

Mo Tianxue's face darkened: "Envoy, why do you say that?"

"Heh!" Envoy Ranmu looked over: "Since our Kunkun Kingdom knows about this, other kingdoms must know by now too! If Your Majesty agrees to our alliance, I will offer a [Beast Spirit Herb]! This herb, I believe, no beast can refuse."

"Beast Spirit Herb?"

Mo Tianxue frowned.

Beasts, like martial artists, had those with Tongxuan realm strength, Zongshi realm strength, and even Zunshi realm strength.

Beyond Zunshi, their life level would change, and they would no longer be called beasts but spirit beasts.

The Beast Spirit Herb was a medicinal herb that grew in places where spiritual energy converged. Spirit beasts loved it and flocked to it.

The value of this Beast Spirit Herb was probably not inferior to that of a spirit stone!

Of course, rarity and preciousness alone wouldn't shock Mo Tianxue. The main thing was that this herb had a great soothing effect on beasts' injuries and illnesses. If taken regularly, even Zunshi realm beasts had a chance to break through to spirit beasts.

The reason Tianwu Kingdom could stand as a first-class kingdom was mainly because it had a half-step Zunshi realm guardian beast.

However, this beast was currently not in good condition. He had befriended Zhang Xuan and invited him to help treat the illness precisely for this reason.

If he had a Beast Spirit Herb, even if it couldn't cure the guardian beast's illness, it could at least alleviate it.

But Moyu was the one he intended to train as the future ruler. How could a single Beast Spirit Herb be enough? Just as he was about to speak, he saw Moyu step forward.

"Father, since someone is proposing to me, may I say something?"

"Speak freely!" Mo Tianxue nodded.

"I am actually quite simple. I don't have much objection to proposals, but..."

Looking at Prince Feixuan nearby, Moyu's expression was indifferent: "You know I am a beast tamer. My beast pet has a bad temper. Once it finds someone approaching, it gets angry. If Prince Feixuan can defeat my beast pet, agreeing to the alliance is not a big deal."

"Defeat your beast pet? Are you serious?" Prince Feixuan's eyes lit up.

"Of course!"

With a light smile, Moyu waved her hand, and a huge cyan eagle flew over and landed before them.
