Chapter 701: Old White starts speaking

Old White burped loudly, his eyes rolled back to show the white in its eyes, and his legs buckled beneath it. He was sprawled on the grass, its tongue licking the side of its mouth and its body twitched.

Feng Jiu was shocked when she saw this and said: "Old White? How are you feeling Old White? That's not possible! I've tested the medicinal pill for poison, and it's fine. And even if a beast were to ingest the pill, it shouldn't be poisoned!"

She was worried upon seeing Old White's reaction to the pill. She was about to retrieve an antidote from the spatial space when Old White who seemed intoxicated licked her face. She was about to tell it off when what she heard stopped her in her tracks.

"Mistress is pretty, so pretty. Mistress is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I love Mistress the most. I have even peeked at Mistress taking a bath before, she has such a great body. Mistress...."

As she listened to Old White's intoxicated rambling, Feng Jiu's mouth twitched and lines creased across her forehead. No one had told her that the truth medicinal pill she refined could make beasts who weren't spirit beasts speak the truth in human language.

What's more, it peeked at her taking a bath? Old White was asking for a beating!

Even the cloud devouring beast was stunned. Only spirit beasts could speak the human language. Those below spirit beasts had to have a contract with their Mistress so that they could communicate with their Mistress with their thoughts aligned. Although they didn't know what type of beast Old White was, and his strength was indeed quite strong, but he had never been able to speak in human language. Why, how did a medicinal pill give him the ability to speak in human language?

And to peek at Mistress taking a bath? He has some guts! And even dared to say Mistress' body was great? If that horrible man found out, he would surely break the horse's head.

The big black bear was sat at the side all this time with no reaction. Even though the sacred beast had spirit intent, his intelligence was limited and he could not understand what was so surprising that Old White could speak in human language...

In the time of one incense being burnt, Old White chattered away and revealed all the bad things he had done in the past. Finally, Old White licked his lips and stopped talking and stared at the angry face of his Mistress stood in front of him. It sprawled onto the ground and closed its mouth, but its tail was still swaying about excitedly.

"Old White, you've finished speaking? You have nothing else to say?" Feng Jiu pinched its ear and stared at it with a sinister smile.

"Hey, it hurts, it hurts! Mistress, be gentle." Old White took a deep breath and looked up.

Feng Jiu was shocked when she realised that Old White could still speak in human language even after the effects of the medicinal pill had passed. Her grip on its ear loosened: "You can still speak in human language?"

Oh god, is that the truth medicinal pill? Had something gone wrong?

Old White revealed his big horse teeth as he grinned widely in excitement and said: "Mistress, are you not happy that I can speak? I am so happy. Old White can finally speak in human language. I have been looking forward to this for such a long time. Following you Mistress, is definitely the best thing I have ever done. Mistress, do you have any other medicinal pills? Give me another one. I might even change into a human."

"Change your stupid head!"

She knocked its head hard, blinked and then turned to cloud devouring beast and said: "Keep watch on it and don't let it go around causing trouble."

She had to go and investigate where she went wrong refining the truth medicinal pill. As she headed back into the cave, the voice behind her stopped her in her tracks and she nearly planted her foot into the ground.

Old White whistled and said obsessively: "The back view of Mistress is also beautiful

Chapter 702: Medicinal Pill Tester

Feng Jiu turned her head and said fiercely: "Shut your horse mouth! Don't you dare speak in human language in front of anyone, otherwise, I will make it so that you will never utter another sound again!"

There would be all sorts of problems if anyone knew that a beast that was not a sacred beast but could speak in human language.

When Old White heard this, he closed his mouth and kept quiet immediately, sprawled on the grass obediently. Its Mistress was true to her word, he didn't dare push the boundaries.

All this while, Cloud Devouring Beast and Little Black just stared at Old White with their eyes wide open. Once Feng Jiu had entered the cave dwelling, Old White raised its chin proudly and glanced over at them.

"What? Are you shocked by your this great Horse? I've told you from the beginning that I'm not just any beast. So, you've seen with your own eyes now? Hmph, even though I'm not a sacred beast but I can still speak in human language, nothing like you."

The Cloud Devouring Beast's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean? Hasn't Mistress already told you? If you speak human language in front of anyone, she will make sure you never utter another sound again. You are not a sacred beast, but yet you can speak in human language. It's best not to let this news spread or it will cause problems. So keep your horse mouth shut."

Old White hadn't retaliated. This was because, even though he was a bit lecherous, but his spirit knowledge was deep enough for him to understand the severity of this matter.

Back in the cave dwelling, Feng Jiu looked down at the remaining two pills in her hand. There was no complication from the water to adding the medicinal herbs, so how could it make the beast speak in human language? Even though she was uncertain, but one thing she knew for sure was that the pill did indeed compel one to speak the truth. Once Old White ate the pill, he spilled the beans on everything he had ever done.

"I must have gone wrong in one of the steps, but where?" She closed her eyes and recalled the whole process of refining the pill and the medical properties of each medicinal herb. Then suddenly, a memory sparked through her mind.

"I added too much of the speech augmentation spirit herb!"

Hence, she opened the pill furnace and proceeded to start refining a new batch of pills. This time she would use the same recipe but she adjusted the proportions of the medicinal herbs. After about two hours, a new batch of truth medicinal pills was ready.

Like before, there were three pills in the furnace. However, only two pills were successful, the third pill was poisonous.

Upon comparison with the two pills left from the previous batch, they looked identical. However, the fragrance from the new pills were milder than the old pills.

"It should be right this time." Even though she said those words, in her heart, she was only sixty to seventy percent confident. After some thought, she walked out of the cave dwelling and gave the three beasts sprawled on the ground some instructions. She then sat on her flying feather and left.

After their Mistress had left, Old White's mouth twitched and spoke: "Do you think we should follow Mistress?"

Cloud Devouring stared at Old White: "Why do we need to follow her?"

"To protect Mistress of course!" Old White said as a matter of factly.

When Cloud Devouring saw that Old White had stood up and swayed it's bottom, it swallowed and said: "Didn't you hear Mistress tell us not to go anywhere. I'm not following you."

"Are you coming, Little Black?" Old White looked at the bear questioningly.

The big black bear scratched its head as it looked from Old White to Cloud Devouring. Finally, it shook its head, not daring to follow.

Upon seeing this, Old White slumped back down on the ground.

At this time, Feng Jiu had located Bai Ruofei's residence. When she arrived at her residence, she saw two people sat outside in the courtyard drinking tea. A smile flashed across her face.

Chapter 703: Feng Jiu that gigolo

"Feng, Feng Jiu, why have you come?" Bai Ruofei stood up immediately when she saw Feng Jiu, her expression nervous and tense.

"I've come to look for Ye Jing." Her lips curled up as she looked at Ye Jing: "I need you."

Ye Jing stood up and took her leave with Bai Ruofei, then walked with Feng Jiu to a quiet area to speak: "Aren't we going to take her back to the teacher's department?"

"No need for that, I have an even better method to deal with her." She smiled and gestured with her finger for her to come closer.

Ye Jing leaned in closer and as Feng Jiu whispered in her ear, she nodded and replied: "Okay, I understand. I will go now." She turned and left.

Not long after, Feng Jiu went back into Bai Ruofei's courtyard and hit her pressure point so she became unconscious. She then carried her out of the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard of the Spirit Division, Bai Ruofei who was still unconscious was tied up, and her feet dangled about a foot above the ground. Her wrists bled as they carried the full weight of her swaying body.

"Isn't that Bai Ruofei, she's always with Ye Jing. Why is she dangling up there?"

"It is Bai Ruofei. Why is she unconscious?"

"Who hung her up there? Who has she offended?"

More and more students from the Spirit Division gathered round her. Though they all pointed at her as they discussed the situation, no one stepped forward to untie her.

Nearby, Feng Jiu smiled when saw the students that had gathered around Bai Ruofei. She picked up a small stone and aimed it at Bai Ruofei's pressure point. When Bai Ruofei regained consciousness, she shrieked, and involuntarily swallowed the truth medicinal pill that Feng Jiu had placed in her mouth before she had a chance to respond properly.

"Sssss!"

After she regained full consciousness, aware of the pain in her wrists, Bai Ruofei sucked in a breath of air. When she tried to untie herself, she realised that she was dangling in midair. The rope was tied in a dead knot and she was unable to release herself. She didn't know what was happening and pleaded with the surrounding students to help her.

"Who tied me up here? Please help untie me and release me."

"Aren't you always with Senior Sister Ye Jing? Why have you been tied up here? Who have you offended?" A student asked loudly as he walked forward to untie her. However, what he heard next stopped him in his tracks, and he stared at the girl dangling in midair with disgust.

"Ye Jing, yes, yes, yes, we are like sisters. We... who is good friends with her? That bitch is always acting like she is above everyone else......"

After she spoke, Bai Ruofei was shocked and her face paled. She didn't know why, but it was like she had a whole lot to say and she couldn't control herself. Even though she tried to shut her mouth, she couldn't stop talking.

"Why does Senior Brother Ouyang even like that bitch Ye Jing? She doesn't deserve Senior Brother Ouyang's affections. When I look at her everyday, I just want to tear at her beautiful face, but I just don't have the opportunity. Haha, she is a dummy to follow me into the Myriad Beast Mountain Range. I had purposely led the sacred beast to attack her. I didn't expect her to be so lucky to escape death and be saved by Feng Jiu that gigolo. Ah, since I couldn't kill her, then I have to ruin her reputation. Hasn't she been very close to that gigolo recently? So I ....."

Chapter 704: Expelled From The Academy

Everyone was shocked as they listened to Bai Ruofei's revelations, about how she tried to kill Ye Jing and how she tried to frame Ye Jing. The Spirit Academy students took in a deep breath and in their heads, they only thought of one phrase: The most poisonous heart is that of a woman!

Ye Jing treated her like a sister, and yet she ruined her reputation and tried to harm her because of her jealousy. This woman's heart was black like coal.

Nearby, Feng Jiu touched her chin as she thought to herself: Gigolo? She looked like a gigolo? Nonsense! She was obviously a very attractive looking young man.

She squinted as she looked at Ye Jing and the teachers nearby. It looked as if she didn't need to go and explain the situation further. Therefore, she turned around and left, and on the way she would check the kitchen to see what there was to eat.....

After the effects of the drug had worn off, a pale-faced Bai Ruofei stared at everyone below as they pointed at her and scolded her. When she saw the angry expressions of the teachers, she knew that it was over for her.

A rush of anger and anguish swept through her as she was unable to bear the what was coming next, and she fainted

"That's awful! How could the academy produce such a student?" The ill-tempered Old Lu shouted and instructed the few students around him: "Untie her and take her to the teacher's department to await her punishment."

"Ye Jing? Ye Jing?"

When the teachers had thought of speaking to Ye Jing, the girl had already disappeared and was nowhere to be found. They didn't know what else to do and told the students to take Bai Ruofei back to the teacher's department.

In the main peak.

"She spoke the truth of her own accord?" The deputy head teacher Lu asked in astonishment as he reported the events to him: "No one questioned her and she told the truth?"

"Yes, that's it. By the time we arrived, the student was already tied up and hung from the stone pillar of the Spirit Division gate. She nervous and panicky as everytime she tried to close her mouth stop talking, she was unable to and continued speaking uncontrollably. She has already been taken back to the teachers' department to await her punishment from you deputy headmaster."

"Expel her from the academy and put her name on the blacklist, she will never be allowed to be readmitted." the deputy headmaster waved his hand to gesture teacher Lu to take his leave.

Teacher Lu acknowledged this and left. Before he stepped out of the room, he looked at the man dressed in white. It was rumoured that he was the student of Sky Ranked Master Mo Chen.

"Why would she speak the truth of her own accord? No one would do this. Unless someone it was controlled by someone?" The deputy headmaster whispered as he caressed his beard.

Mo Chen lifted his teacup and looked at the tea leaf that was floating on the surface of the tea, his eyes lit up and he said: "Truth medicinal pill."

"What?" Deputy headmaster looked at him.

"There was a type of medicinal pill called the truth medicinal pill. Once ingested, it would make the person reveal everything. However, the recipe for this medicinal pill has been lost."

"Truth medicinal pill?"

Deputy headmaster was shocked and asked in surprise: "Why would our academy have such a pill? And besides, you just said that the recipe for this medicinal pill has been lost."

Soon after he spoke, his expression changed, like he had thought of something: "Would this.... be Feng Jiu's doing? But he has only just entered the Alchemy Division, he shouldn't be able to refine such a pill?"

"The truth medicinal pill is a second rank pill." He narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "It's definitely not a pill that a novice student can ....

Chapter 705: Big Brother, you've reached the Martial Ancestor level already?

When he heard that, the Deputy Headmaster stroked his beard with his eyes narrowed. "If that's the case, then it's fine."

He broke into a smile. "Our Nebula's Alchemy Division has almost been forgotten, especially in the exchange competition with other sixth-grade academies. We don't even have students who can take part in that event. If he is really proficient in the way of alchemy, even if he can't reach foundation building in the future, his achievements in the Alchemy Division will not be looked down upon."

The next morning, when Feng Jiu was still asleep, Guan Xilin's voice rang out from outside the cave.

"Feng Jiu? Feng Jiu?"

He was dressed in the Mystical Division's dark blue outfit. His posture was erect and sturdy, glowing with health and vigour. His gaze was penetrating. There was a powerful aura emanating from his body.

Also, in less than three months, he had crashed his way through the nine-storied Mystical pagoda. His strength had increased by leaps and bounds. Now, he was a cultivator at the Martial Ancestor rank. Only a few could match such strength among the Mystical Division students.

Guan Xilin's fame spread all over the Mystical Division in less than a day since he came out of the pagoda. It was due to the fact that he became the top student at his division only a few months after entering the academy.

After calling her a few times, there was still no response. He assumed that she was in a deep slumber. Guan Xilin smiled then sat down under the tree. While looking at the big black bear guarding the edge of the cave dwelling, he spoke with an amused look. "Are you the divine beast that Feng Jiu brought back from the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range? I didn't expect her to keep such a hulking oaf."

"Roar!"

Feeling his disrespect, Little Black roared angrily. But, he didn't attack the man. It simply crouched guarding the place while giving Guan Xilin a stare.

"Don't roar. You can't scare me. I'm your Mistress' Big Brother. Do you understand?" Guan Xilin spoke with a smile. He glanced at the beast casually. He caught sight of Old White emerging from the bushes in the distance.

"Hey! Guan Guan, you're here!"

As soon as Old White saw Guan Xilin, it let out an excited greeting. It wagged its tail and walked over, proud and arrogant. "Guan Guan, I, Old White, can talk. Are you scared? Hahahahaha! "

Hearing Old White's started speaking in human speech, he could only shout "Hey". He felt that his forehead was streaked with several black lines hearing the horse calling him Guan Guan. His expression was queer. Seeing the beast approaching, he looked it up and down. "Old White, you are still the same. You are not a divine beast. How can you speak?"

"Why can't I talk? I, Old White, am not an ordinary horse. Plus, my mistress is also incredible. It's just a matter of time before I start talking. "

It's hard to hide the pride in its voice. If these words came out of a man's mouth, it would not be surprising. But, against all expectations, these words came out of a horse's mouth accompanied with eyes filled with pride. Those who saw this sight would have the corners of their mouths twitch. It's just so unfathomable.

"Big Brother? When did you come out from the Mystical Pagoda?"

Feng Jiu's voice was thick with sleepiness. Guan Xilin looked up and saw that she came out with a yawn. Her eyes were still half-open, she looked like she was half-asleep. He answered with a smile. "I came out last night. I heard about your recent circumstance in the academy and came to see you this morning. You are so conspicuous. You are hiding in this nearly deserted Alchemy Division, yet you still managed to create so much ruckus."

"I'm not to blame. They came after me."

She spoke lazily. She came to him and sat down. Then, her eyes were opened wide, staring at him. After a while, she said in surprise, "Big Brother, you've reached the Martial Ancestor level already?"

Chapter 706: The Mystical Pagoda

Guan Xilin nodded with a smile on his face. "Mm, that's correct. I've advanced to the Martial Ancestor in the Mystical Pagoda. In fact, when I've been honing my cultivation outside with the mercenary group for several months, not only my speed, my martial arts and reaction also improved steadily. But, I'm just short of an opportunity to advance. This time, crashing through the pagoda's barrier acted as a catalyst to help me break into this rank so quickly."

"So, what on earth is the Mystical Pagoda? How does it look like inside? Are there many people? " She asked curiously. It's said that this pagoda was a great place for Mystical division students to improve their own strength. She had been in the academy for so long, but she hadn't caught its sight yet.

"There were not many people in it. All the students were at the Great Martial Master rank. There are nine levels inside the pagoda. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to breakthrough. Some of the students were trapped at the third or the fourth level, and they couldn't re-enter. In addition to martial arts, speed and Mystical energy can improve very quickly. The most mysterious is the ninth level. The Mystical Pagoda's ninth-level turned into a fantasy world that matches each person who got in. I encountered a land of fantasy when I went in. It took me half a month to get out of the mirage. "

"That ferocious?" She stroked her chin while her eyes shifted slightly.

"Mm. I think you can try going to the Mystical Pagoda when you have time." He then told her some things he met during his training outside. Finally, he asked, "Haven't you reached the Foundation Building yet? I remembered that you have been at an impasse for a long time at the Great Spirit Master level."

"Not yet. I wanted to take a task to go out yesterday, but I ran into that little white flower again and I got delayed. This academy doesn't let people go out at will. I haven't eaten anything. I've been having some cravings recently."

Guan Xilin smiled. "Not in this academy. I heard that you have been to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range? You can also go there to practice. If there are wild boars or other animals, you can catch them and roast them. "

"I've been there. After all, it's only a sixth-grade country. The highest-level animal was the Saint-level beast. I've seen all including divine beasts in hot pepper soup. It's not difficult at all for me and I got bored there." She waved a hand and saw Old White that had been wandering around twisted its butt and flung its tail, running towards the distance excitedly.

"Hey, pretty Ye Jing, you're getting more and more beautiful...."

Feng Jiu and Guan Xilin pulled the corners of their lips simultaneously. The latter looked at Old White and then at Feng Jiu. "What's the matter with Old White? How can it speak? " Such a lecherous horse could drool at the beauty even without opening its mouth. What's so good about it being able to speak?

He could even imagine that when Little Jiu rode on it, would the beast whistle and flirt with the women on the street?

Feng Jiu looked at Ye Jing who was frozen in place and told her helplessly: "It ate my newly refined truth pill yesterday and it became like this. It told Old White not to open its mouth in front of people so as not to frighten them. But, it seems that it forgot every time it saw a beauty."

As she said this, she elbowed Guan Xilin with an expectant smile. "Big Brother, let me tell you. Ye Jing is pretty good. She is the first beauty in the Spirit Division. She has a good character and is well accomplished. I think she is very pleasant. I wanted to introduce her to you last time. By the way, she is very kind-hearted. She even knows that I am a woman dressed as a man."

Upon hearing this, Guan Xilin smiled. "The person that you find pleasing to your eyes is definitely a pretty good one."

Chapter 707: Three Humans and Three Beasts

"Well, it's not bad, but I still think..."

Before she had finished speaking, Ye Jing walked over towards her with a look of shock on her face, her head tilted to one side staring at Old White like he was a playboy.

"Feng Jiu, what's up with Old White?" When she got to Feng Jiu, she noticed there was a man next to her. She looked down and smiled.

"Ye Jing, you're here. Just in time. Come, sit down." Feng Jiu reached out and pulled her down to the grass and introduced the two of them with a smile: "Ye Jing, this is my older brother Guan Xilin. Elder brother, this is my friend Ye Jing, the beauty of the academy."

Guan Xilin nodded in acknowledgment and smiled: "Very pleased to meet you."

Ye Jing was a little startled, and as she stared at the young man stood in front of her, her heart skipped a beat and her face flushed red. She had to calm her nerves before she could speak: "Feng Jiu speaks about you all the time, it's a surprise meeting you today."

"Surprise?"

"Yes, you aren't what I expected." She looked down as she replied and chuckled in nervousness.

She was surprised because she had thought that Feng Jiu's brother would be a mild mannered gentleman, and not a strong manly man. Even though it was the first time she had met him, but she felt an indescribable curiosity towards him.

Feng Jiu looked at the two of them with a smile on her face and stood up: "Well, I've only just got out of bed and not washed myself! Carry on chatting and I will catch up with you later." She took Old White with so the both of them wouldn't be disturbed.

"Hey, Feng Jiu....."

When Ye Jing saw her leave, she couldn't help but feel nervous again. She remembered the last time Feng Jiu mentioned she would introduce her to her brother, and she hadn't known what she would say to him. Now she was alone with him, she was overwhelmed by the situation.

Guan Xilin was surprised when he saw her nervousness. He touched his chin as he asked with uncertainty: "I shaved before I came out, do I still look scary?"

"Huh? No, no." She looked up startled, and looked away in panic as she met his smile.

Although Guan Xilin found it surprising, but he did not let it bother him. He asked: "Are you a citizen from Green Gallop Country? Or are you from another country?"

As they talked, Ye Jing gradually regained her usual calm and demure composure. She observed that Guan Xilin was very knowledgeable. She listened to him talk about him leading a group of army practising drills, and the conversation between them flowed freely.

As Feng Jiu observed them from her cave dwelling, she couldn't help but smile. She knew it, they were a perfect match.

Since they were chatting, she would come back out after she had changed. She yawned as she entered her bedroom to rest....

It was nearly noon when the two of them realised that Feng Jiu had been gone for a long time. Guan Xilin smiled as he stood up and said to Ye Jing: "Ye Jing, you wait here while I go to get Feng Jiu, and then we will go to the mountain to eat grilled fish together."

"Okay." She nodded and watched as he walked towards the cave dwelling.

In about the time of half an incense, a freshly dressed Feng Jiu walked out with Guan Xilin. She was bursting with excitement at the thought of catching fish, her face showed no sign of sleepiness.

"Why have I never thought of catching fish to eat? We will have a feast today!" She said excitedly and called Old White, Little Black and the Cloud Devouring to follow them. The humans and three beasts walked towards back path of Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.

Chapter 708: Ouyang Xiu's Challenge

It was evening, the three people who had spent nearly the whole day out together split up at the crossroads and went their separate ways.

Feng Jiu led her three beasts towards the direction of her cave dwelling. However, as she walked on, she saw a Sky Rank student dressed in the Spirit Division robes stood in the road ahead of her. It didn't seem like he was going to let her and her beasts pass through. Her eyebrows furrowed as this realisation hit her.

"Excuse me, please may I pass?"

The man turned around to face her, two pairs of eyes stared back at each other, a dark glint in both their eyes.

As Feng Jiu sat on Old White, she weighed up the person stood in front of her. The academy robes could not conceal the superiority of this person's strength. Even if he was a student, he must be one of the Ten Proud Children of Heaven, and most definitely one of the top three students.

Not only was he good looking, but he also had extraordinary strength and was obviously from an upper class family, he was no doubt one of the Ten Proud Children of Heaven.

In the Nebula Academy, out of the Ten Proud Children of Heaven, other than Nie Teng, there was probably only Ouyang Xiu who had this kind of demeanor and appearance.

Ouyang Xiu is the second Foundation Formation Stage student in the Six Star Academy, and is in the middle stage level of the stage. Because Nie Teng's level is higher, he was only able to be the second of the Ten Proud Children of Heaven.

In other words, the eternal second.

While Feng Jiu was weighing up Ouyang Xiu, he was also weighing up the young man on the white horse.

Under the plain academy uniform was a hidden beauty. The young man's striking face always attracted attention wherever he went. However, what caught his attention was the young man's mysterious energy penetrating from him.

He was just a young boy obviously not older than sixteen years of age, dressed in inconspicuous green robes, but there was magnificence that was inconcealable. As he sat on his white horse, he had a carefree attitude, like a cheeky child.

However, when the young man raised his head, there was a fierceness in his eyes that made his heart tremble with just one glare!

Was this Feng Jiu really only from a ninth grade country?

With his striking and dazzling appearance, how could he come from an ordinary background?

"Feng Jiu?" There was a fierceness in his low voice.

"Ouyang Xiu?" Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows.

Ouyang Xiu's eyes narrowed: "I've heard a lot about you."

"And the same of you." Feng Jiu's lips curled up in a smile.

Ouyang Xiu stared intensely at the young man on the white horse and said: "I will wait for you three days later at Wind Cloud Terrace." Once he had finished speaking, he turned and walked away before Feng Jiu had a chance to say anything.

In his view, for someone like Feng Jiu, once he was offered a challenge, he would definitely show up.

However, he didn't understand Feng Jiu, and did not know what kind of a person she was. She would not have taken his words seriously.

She looked at the figure disappearing ahead of her and smiled, then patted Old White's head and said to Little Black: "Come on, let's go!"

One human and three beasts walked towards the cave dwelling.

Ouyang Xiu had only just issued his challenge to Feng Jiu, but all the students in the Spirit Division had already heard the news and knew that Ouyang Xiu would be waiting for Feng Jiu at Wind Cloud Terrace in three days time......

Chapter 709: Teacher Lu In A Coma

Early the next morning.

"Little Jiu, Little Jiu?"

Once Guan Xilin had heard the news, he hurried over and bumped into Ye Jing on the way.

Old White sauntered over slowly to Ye Jing's side and said to the both of them: "Master went to sleep very late last night, she won't wake up until at least noon today. She also soundproofed her bedroom, so she won't hear you no matter how loud you shout."

"We heard that Ouyang Xiu has issued a challenge against Feng Jiu. Where did you meet him yesterday?" Guan Xilin asked, his brow twisted in worry.

"On the way back. Mistress said that if you both are to turn up, to tell you to go home and not to worry. She has no intention of accepting the challenge." Old White took a deep breath, sniffing at the fragrance coming from Ye Jing.

Ah, a woman's fragrance.

"Ouyang Xiu is a Foundation Formation Cultivator and his cultivation skills is top notch amongst his peers. There are many students in the academy, but only Nie Teng is powerful enough to suppress him. If Feng Jiu were to fight with him, I'm afraid...." Ye Jing was worried and felt uneasy.

Guan Xilin however, was not worried that Feng Jiu was no match against Ouyang Xiu because he knew her strengths. Least to say students of the academy, even the teachers were not a match against her. He just felt that if she was continually being challenged by other students, it would hinder her cultivation.

If anyone could come to challenge her, then where would she find the time for cultivation and doing anything for herself?

"You should go back, Mistress is fine here, don't worry." As Old White spoke, he took another deep breath and looked intoxicated.

Seeing this, Ye Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "Old White, can you be less lecherous?" Was she that fragrant?

"I can't, I love beautiful women, especially women who are also beautiful on the inside. Beautiful Ye Jing, I have wanted to tell you for the longest time, you are really fragrant! Full of a woman's scent. Oh no, my legs are going weak."

Old White's face looked intoxicated as he sprawled onto the ground it's legs buckling under him. The cheap look on its face and lecherous look in its eyes, and very human personality made it hard for one to hate him.

Guan Xilin looked at Old White speechless: "Old White, where did you learn to be this lecherous? Feng Jiu isn't like that! Is it your previous owner?"

"My previous owner was a simpleton, but he was a nice man, otherwise he wouldn't have given me to my Little Jiu Jiu." He said in such a smooth glib manner as he said Little Jiu. Its eyes lit up suddenly: "Ah, I will call Mistress Little Jiu Jiu in the future, Little Jiu Jiu, it sounds really nice."

Seeing this, the two people shook their heads and had nothing to say but smile at each other.

At this moment in this, it was chaos in the Spirit Division. Teacher Lu was giving a lecture and whilst screaming at one of the students, he fainted.

By the time the frantic students had brought Teacher Lu to the teacher's lounge, his whole body had already gone stiff and was completely unconscious. The teachers and students from the Medical Division rushed over once they received the news.

The headmaster and deputy headmaster had also rushed over to the teacher's lounge upon hearing the news and looked around at all the people in the room. The deputy headmaster asked: "What happened? Why did Teacher Lu faint out of the blue?"

Chapter 710:  Powerless

When Teacher Lu saw the two came, he promptly made a salute. "Here's what happened. Some Spirit division students sent Teacher Lu 1over. According to them, a student didn't do well while learning to use his spirit power during class. Additionally, he was learning absent-mindedly. Finally, Teacher Lu scolded him severely. At that time, Teacher Lu collapsed due to a fit of immense anger after only scolding him a few."

He continued, "I asked the doctor and the pharmacist to give him a checkup. They said his condition was caused by liver disease but it was found out too late. His blood and vital blood rushed up and hurt his brain when he was in a violent temper. It should have been easy to regulate the internal organs, but now the complications have appeared simultaneously and it is not easy to treat."

"It's that serious?"

The headmaster frowned, looking at Teacher Lu who was lying on the bed without even moving. Noticing the stiffness of his body, he asked, "How come his body doesn't seem normal?"

"The pharmacist couldn't find the cause, but the doctor said that the brain injury resulted in physical paralysis. However, our academy's doctor indeed said that there was no way to cure it, and now he didn't know what to do." Teacher Lu's face was filled with concern. Inside, he worried endlessly.

Although Teacher Lu was bad-tempered, he was very serious about teaching. Otherwise, he would not be listed as a teacher at the Nebula academy. He had been teaching for more than ten years at the academy. Now they saw him lying in bed both motionless and unconscious. This made them feel bad.

As soon as the headmaster and the deputy headmaster heard this story, their expressions were grave. However, they were not at all familiar with medicine and could not help. Even though they had some life-saving medicinal pills in their stash, those medicinal pills were only for curing internal injuries. They had never encountered liver function problems that could impact the brain before.

"That's it! Old Guan, please invite Young Master Mo Chen to take a look. He is proficient in medicinal pills. Maybe you can see if there are any pills that can be taken by Teacher Lu. " The headmaster turned toward the deputy headmaster.

"Yes, I'll go right away." The deputy left the office in a hurry and headed to Mo Chen's courtyard.

Several pharmacists and two doctors encircled the teaching office's bed and discussed Teacher Lu's illness. Some people said that they might have to go out and invite some doctors with better medical expertise to give treatments. Some other people said that they had to go to countries above the fifth-grade. Each one of them gave his opinions. Only until they saw the deputy headmaster bringing a man in white to the teaching office that they turned quiet.

Young Master Mo Chen had heard about these teachers and doctors' reputations. His master was a mysterious old man and he was the only disciple. It was said that he was proficient in the way of the immortal elixirs. He could even refine the sixth-rank medicinal pills. He was a rare genius in this field.

Everyone got out of the way and let the deputy headmaster and Mo Chen came inside. Mo Chen took Teacher Lu's pulse and examined his body. However, after a few breaths, he stood up to look at the headmaster and the deputy headmaster and shook his head.

"He is not injured, but ill. Medicinal pills can cure the injury. We have to find the root cause before prescribing the right medicine. I'm powerless in this situation."

"This, even you also have no way?" The deputy headmaster's heart sank.

Mo Chen glanced at the crowd and nodded his head lightly, "Mm, his condition is very serious. If he doesn't find a cure within six hours, he may stay in a coma or even die."

Chapter 711: Have you heard of the Ghost Doctor?

His words made all the people's hearts heavy. When they saw the aura of death enveloping Teacher Lu, the atmosphere inside the teaching office became very solemn. All of them were silent and speechless. They did not know what to say.

Although Teacher Lu was not dead yet, he was not far away from perishing. All the immortal cultivators present could see the aura of death. His spiritual power was weakening just like a flame drenched in the rain, it gradually becoming smaller and smaller...

There were many immortal cultivators in this world as well as alchemists and pharmacists, but there were only a few doctors. In the eyes of immortal cultivators, doctors' status was far lower than that of the alchemists and pharmacist since most doctors could only cure mortals. Those immortal cultivators' body rarely had any problems.

Because of this, there were even fewer doctors who were trusted and revered for their expertise in the field of medicine. After all, there were very few real experts in the arts of healing. At least, it's impossible for them to appear in the sixth-grade countries.

"I wonder if you've heard of the Ghost Doctor?"

A doctor suddenly spoke, looking at the crowd. "If you can find Ghost Doctor, I think Teacher Lu should be saved. But Ghost Doctor's whereabouts are mysterious. It's very difficult to find him. Plus, we only got six hours. Consider it too late, then."

After uttering these words, he sighed, shook his head and walked out. It's the same as if he didn't say anything. How could he find Ghost Doctor in six hours?

In his view, perhaps Teacher Lu had no way to be cured. If it's a wound injury, there were some life-saving medicinal pills and elixirs for immortal cultivators like them. But, this disease...it's indeed deadly.

"Even though the distinguished name of Ghost Doctor is known to everybody in Green Gallop Country, only a few people have seen him. However, he has a good relationship with the Black Market. He has appeared in Green Gallop Country before. Maybe the Black Market people know where he is now." The headmaster pondered and gave the deputy headmaster an order. "Old Guan, go and ask the Black Market for help with my warrant."

"This... will this work? The Black Market is so powerful that we have to pay them respects. I'm afraid that they will not disclose it even if they know."

"Whether it's possible or not, we still have to make the trip. Go! The Black Market Chief and I have some friendships. If he knows the whereabouts of Ghost Doctor, he should be able to help. " The headmaster handed out his order and motioned with his hand, indicating the deputy headmaster to make haste.

"Alright, then. I'm going." Old Guan took the headmaster's identity token and hurried to the black market.

"Mo Chen, is there any way to extend his life? Perhaps not even a day, several hours are okay, too."

Looking at Teacher Lu lying on the bed, the headmaster sighed. "I recruited Old Lu myself. He's been teaching in Nebula for more than ten years. He's always been a rigorous and earnest tutor. I really don't want him to be like this..."

"I can use my spirit force to seal his body's vitality, stop all the blood vessels and meridians, and let him fall into a state of suspended animation. But I can only maintain this condition for four hours. After four hours, he will still have six hours left." Mo Chen said indifferently, glancing at Teacher Lu on the bed. To him, he was just a stranger. If not for the headmaster's repeated requests, he would never open his mouth.

"Four hours?" The headmaster was stunned for a moment. Without any hesitation, he asserted, "Four hours is also time. Life or death, it all depends on his luck."

Chapter 712: Go, bring Feng Jiu here

Without saying anything, Mo Chen walked forwards and came to the bedside. He lifted his palms and one could see the energy that came out of them. Quick as lightning, he sealed off major pressure points on Teacher Lu's body. At this point, Teacher Lu's body was devoid of any movement and he stopped breathing.

Before anyone could open their mouths to ask him a question, Mo Chen had lifted his arm and turned around to walk out of the room. As he walked out, he only said one sentence in a cool voice.

"At this point in time, don't be messing about with him."

As everyone watched him disappear, they all turned to look at the headmaster. The headmaster's eyes lit up with excitement as he observed at Teacher Lu up and down. Spiritual energy had sealed the major pressure points of his body. Other than requiring to know the precise position of the pressure points, one also have to possess strong spiritual energy. Just a couple of hours of maintaining Teacher Lu in a vegetative state would have used up a major amount of Mo Chen's spiritual energy.

The headmaster sighed as he stared at the comatose Teacher Lu on the bed: "Cultivators have never feared getting injured. What's horrifying is to be sick but not even know it. He has taken so gravely ill so suddenly with no warning, and this illness could claim his life at any moment!"

The headmaster spoke those words out of lament. However, it shook the hearts of the bystanders like thunderstruck. Suddenly, they remembered something that had happened two days earlier....

As he thought back to what happened two days ago, then thought about what had just happened, Teacher Lu wiped the sweat off his forehead, his expression a look of disbelief.

"Teacher Lu, what's the matter?" The headmaster noticed that he didn't seem himself and asked in concern.

Teacher Lu swallowed his saliva and answered: "Head, headmaster, I suddenly remembered something important that had happened."

"What is it?"

"Well, two, two days ago I had summoned Feng Jiu and Ye Jing to the teacher's office to discuss Bai Ruofei smearing Ye Jing's name. That day, Teacher Lu was screaming at the two of them and then, and then...."

"And then what happened next?" The headmaster asked in a calm voice.

"Oh, I remember now, Feng Jiu told him off and said he was sick." Another teacher replied.

Another person shook his head and said: "No, no, he didn't tell him off, his tone was more like a friendly reminder."

"Yes, we didn't pay attention at that time, nor remember it. It was just when the headmaster said those things that I recalled what Feng Jiu had said to Teacher Lu. She said : Teacher Lu, you are sick and need treatment." Teacher Lu swallowed his saliva as he paused, then continued speaking: "Because the atmosphere was so tense at that time, we thought that he had said that in a fit of anger. But I have just remembered now, Feng Jiu had said that he will collapse in less than three days."

When he heard this, the headmasters heart sank and his eyes narrowed: "What you mean to say is that three days ago, he could already tell that Teacher Lu was ill?"

"Yes, that's what I think too. I also wonder, since he is studying alchemy, maybe he is also versed in medicine?" Teacher Lu looked at the headmaster questioningly, but he didn't think it was at all possible.

Feng Jiu was the only student in the Alchemy Division, and also a Sky Rank Student in the Academy. If he was also well versed in medicine, then this boy was really too good to be true!

"Where is Feng Jiu right now?" The headmaster asked.

"If he is not at the Spirit Division, then he would be at the Alchemy Division." Teacher Lu replied.

The headmaster waved his hand as he instructed: "Go, send someone to bring him here."

Chapter 713: Enchantment

"Yes, I will send someone to bring him here immediately." Teacher Lu replied and went outside to instruct two Spirit Division students to to to the Alchemy Division to bring Feng Jiu back.

Once the news of Teacher Lu being taken ill and was in a comatose state, tethering between life and death, students and teachers from the Spirit Division, Mystical Division had come over to see if they could be of any help. Even the Pharmacy Division mountain peak's Medical teachers had rushed over.

In the nearby closed off Alchemy Division, separated by a few mountains, above the mountain peak where Feng Jiu's cave dwelling was situated, she was inside fast asleep, oblivious to what was going on outside.

Guan Xilin and Ye Jing were sat outside the cave dwelling chatting as they waited for Feng Jiu to wake up from her slumber. Because there were enchantments around the cave dwelling, they were unable to enter, nor could they be heard. Therefore, they could only sit outside and wait.

Because the both of them had came over early in the morning, they hadn't heard the news that spread to the Spirit Division and Mystical Division about Teacher Lu fighting for his life.

When they saw two students from the Spirit Division arriving on flying cranes, they were startled and went over immediately to find out what had happened.

"Senior Sister Ye Jing"

The two men called out as their eyes fell on the man dressed in Mystical Division robes. One of the men then walked to the entrance of cave dwelling and shouted: "Feng Jiu, Feng Jiu come out quick! Teacher Lu is looking for you!"

When they heard this, Ye Jing and Guan Xilin looked at each other in shock. Ye Jing asked: "What's happened now? Why are you looking for Feng Jiu again?"

"Feng Jiu, Feng Jiu come out quick! Teacher Lu is looking for you!"

The student shouted loudly, his voice infused with spiritual energy. However, because Feng Jiu had put up a soundproof enchantment around the cave dwelling, no matter how loudly anyone shouted, the person asleep on the inside heard nothing.

When the two students saw that there was no movement inside the cave dwelling, they turned around and asked Ye Jing: "Senior Sister Ye Jing, Teacher Lu would like Feng Jiu to go to his quarters immediately. Is he inside? Or has he gone out? Why is there no answer at all?"

"He is inside the cave dwelling. However, he has put up a soundproof enchantment. He won't be able to hear anything from the outside. According to his beasts, he went to bed very late last night, so it would be at least noon before he wakes up."

"Noon?" The expressions of the two students changed: "That's not good, this can't wait!"

"What can't wait?" Guan Xilin asked, eyebrows raised as he looked at the two students.

"Teacher Lu can't wait! Teacher Lu is nearly dead! Teacher Lu said that only Feng Jiu can save him and asked us to bring him there immediately."

Although the two students had said it, but they didn't really believe that Feng Jiu could save Teacher Lu. After all, he was only a new student, so how could he save him when Alchemists and Medical doctors couldn't do anything? Teacher Lu must have decided that it was better than doing nothing at all and worth a shot at trying.

They were outside the teacher's quarters when the headmaster and Teacher Lu were speaking. They had overheard them talking and wanted Feng Jiu to go over because she had said two days ago that Teacher Lu was sick and needed treatment. They didn't know why they had been asked to bring Feng Jiu back. Who knew that when they arrived, that she had put up a soundproof enchantment and was fast asleep inside her cave dwelling. How ridiculous!

"Teacher Lu's life is in danger? How did this happen?" Ye Jing's expression changed when she heard the news.

Chapter 714: President Gong, Your Help Is Needed

"He collapsed during a lecture, in the midst of screaming and a student. Teachers from the Mountain Peak Pharmacy and Medical Division have been to see him, and even Master Mo Chen. They have all said there is no saving him."

A student spoke hurriedly: " Teacher Lu have asked us to go look for Feng Jiu immediately. But he has put up a soundproof enchantment, so what shall we do?"

"Feng Jiu has no medical knowledge, so it's useless asking for her help anyway. Haven't the headmaster and deputy headmaster had any suggestions? With their connections, they should be able to find a highly skilled doctor in Green Gallop Country. Why bother to look for Feng Jiu at all?"

Ye Jing frowned in worry as she thought about Teacher Lu fighting for his life and said to Guan Xilin: "Teacher Lu is my teacher after all and has imparted much knowledge to me. I better go back to see him." She turned and left hurriedly before Guan Xilin could respond.

Guan Xilin watched Ye Jing leave and turned to the two anxious looking students and said: " Even the teachers from the Mountain Peak Pharmacy and Medical Division are unable to save Teacher Lu, why come to look for Feng Jiu?" Little Jiu's Ghost Doctor shouldn't be known to anyone at the academy.

"The other day Feng Jiu said that Teacher Lu would collapse within three days. Who knew that it would actually happen? So that's why Teacher Lu asked us to bring him back." One of the students replied, and seeing that there was no point waiting here, he turned and went back to report the situation.

Teaching Office.

"What? You didn't even see him? You couldn't enter the cave?" Teacher Lu glared and continued scolding: " Well if you couldn't enter the cave, could you not have shouted? What good is it having a mouth if you don't use it?"

The two students replied quickly: " We shouted, but that guy put up a soundproof enchantment when he sleeps. No matter how loud we shouted, no sound penetrated the cave dwelling!"

When he heard this, Teacher Lu was stunned, even the other teachers who had come out opened their eyes in surprise: "What's up with Feng Jiu? Why would he put up a soundproof enchantment when he sleeps? Why, why is his habit so different from other people?"

"I've heard him mention that he has a really bad temper if he hasn't gotten enough sleep when he wakes up in the morning. He would have gone to bed really late last night and didn't want to be disturbed this morning, that's probably why he put up the soundproof enchantment. He probably didn't expect Teacher Lu to fall ill."

Ye Jing informed everyone as she walked over. She had just been to visit Teacher Lu and the headmaster said that he would be stable for the next few hours. But after that, no one would be able to save him, and the inevitable would happen....

"I will go and have a look." Teacher Lu decided that he would make a trip himself to check it out. He asked the two students to lead the way and they hurried off towards Feng Jiu's cave dwelling.

At the same time, the deputy headmaster had arrived at the Black Market. The moment he stepped through the doors, his atmosphere was in upheaval. He handed in the headmaster's token and was invited inside. Not too long afterwards, the President of the Black Market came to greet him.

"Deputy headmaster, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" With a wave of his hand, he commanded his servants to serve them tea.

Once Old Guan calmed his atmosphere, he spoke: "President Gong, please forgive my unexpected visit. There is something I need your help with."

"Oh? You need my help? Hahaha! You really know how to crack a joke Deputy Headmaster Guan. Why would the powerful Nebula Academy need my help?" President Gong chuckled deeply and took a sip of his tea.

"No, it's really a matter of life and death that I have come to seek help about. Under the command of Headmaster Feng, I have come to seek the whereabouts of the Ghost Doctor. Hopefully President Gong can provide the information."

Chapter 715: Feng Jiu The Bastard!

Upon hearing this, President Gong's stopped drinking his tea, a look of surprise flashed through his eyes. He looked at Deputy Headmaster Guan and asked: " Deputy Headmaster Guan, why are you looking for the Ghost Doctor?"

"I'll be frank with you President Gong. There is a teacher in the academy who has taken ill suddenly and is currently on the brink of death. None of the medical experts in the academy are able to treat him. We heard that the Ghost Doctor is able to bring people back from the dead. Headmaster has no choice but to ask me to locate the whereabouts of the Ghost Doctor. If he is in Nebula CIty, then maybe he would be able to save the life of the teacher."

"Ah, the Black Market does indeed have a special relationship with the Ghost Doctor. However, he has instructed us to not ever disclose his whereabouts to anyone. I'm sorry, but I won't be able to help you." He shook his head and continued: "Besides he can't save someone so far away. You are better off looking for another doctor!"

"President Gong, this is someone's life we're talking about, please help!" Deputy Headmaster stood up and bowed.

President Gong sighed and replied: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't help you. I am the President of the Black Market and so I have a responsibility to it. His position in the Black Market is so prestigious that even I don't dare offend him."

"You don't know the Ghost Doctor, he saves people out through preference. So what if you find him? You're just wasting your time. Besides, our superiors have instructed that his whereabouts is to be kept a secret."

"President Gong...."

President had started to walk out of the room when he stopped and turned back to look at Deputy Headmaster Guan. He looked thoughtful as he said: " To save him, why look further afield and not closeby?"

Deputy Headmaster Guan was startled when he heard those words and thought about what President Guan had said. He muttered to himself: "To save him, why look further afield and not closeby? Closeby.... What did he mean by that? Closeby..... closeby..... Close"

A thought flashed across his mind and he exclaimed: "Could it be that he is in our academy?" That would make sense.

However, many people have already tried to save him. Was it possible there someone else whose ability hadn't been tested?

Although he was not sure, he hadn't dared cause any delay and rushed back to the academy.

President Gong watched as he walked out of the Black Market gate and smiled. A voice next to him asked: "President, why did you reveal the whereabouts of the Ghost Doctor to him?" An old gentleman appeared next to him.

"I only gave him a riddle. It's up to him to guess the answer to it." He smiled and continued: "I just find it interesting that he doesn't know that the Ghost Doctor is one of the students in the academy. It's funny that he has come to the Black Market looking for him."

At the same time, Teacher Lu was outside Feng Jiu's cave dwelling. He was attacking the enchantment with spiritual energy but to no avail. He was embarrassed at his failure and gritted his teeth as he shouted: " Feng Jiu The bastard! Not only has he put up a soundproof enchantment, but he has also strengthened the enchantment on the outside! Is he keeping out a thief or an assassin?!!"

Chapter 716: Does He Have Medical Knowledge?

The cave dwellings in the Alchemy Division were well protected by enchantments, but they weren't this strong! Even him, a Golden Core stage teacher was unable to open it. That really annoyed him!

In addition to the two students who led the way here, a few more students from the Spirit Division had come along as well. They looked on in shock when they saw that Teacher Lu was unable to break open the enchantment.

Feng Jiu had the ability to strengthen the cave dwelling enchantment to this degree? Even the Golden Core stage Teacher Lu was unable to break it open? Their mouths twitched as they also wanted to ask: Is he keeping out a thief or an assassin?

In actual fact, Feng Jiu only strengthened the enchantment because she was afraid that there would be too much noise from her refining pills. As for the soundproof enchantment, she had just wanted a good night's sleep. Who knew there would be so many people looking for her early in the morning?

"Bang bang bang!"

The impact sound of Teacher Lu attempting to penetrate the enchantment sounded from time to time. Seeing that Teacher Lu was drenched in sweat, one of the students approached tentatively.

"Teacher, Teacher Lu?"

Unable to break through the enchantment, and the thought of Teacher Lu's life slipping away, he couldn't help but explode in anger when he saw the student approach. He shouted: " What?"

The student hunched in fear and replied: "Teacher Lu, shall we ask the Headmaster to come over?"

Teacher Lu's face was red as he looked back unwillingly at the cave and replied: " I will go!" He rushed back to the teacher's office without delay.

Guan Xilin who was sat by the tree nearby with Little Black and Old white stared after the figure of the departing teacher, deep in thought.

Teacher Lu had arrived back at the teacher's office and found the Headmaster: "Headmaster, that bastard not only put up a soundproof enchantment to sleep, but he also strengthened the enchantment outside the cave dwelling. I, I can't break through the enchantments."

The Headmaster was in shock: "He strengthened the enchantments? And even you can't break through them?"

He was shocked to the core of his heart. How could a student have such a great ability?

Teacher Lu was a Golden Core cultivator, and he couldn't even break through a student's enchantment, this...

"I will go and take a look. You take charge here." The Headmaster instructed and set off to Feng Jiu's cave dwelling with the students leading the way.

When he arrived at the cave dwelling, his eyes swept across the students from the Spirit Division and the Mystical Division and landed on the nearby tree where the big black bear and queer horse were. These were Feng Jiu's beasts?

As he stared at the queer horse, the horse suddenly opend its mouth and smiled at him, flashing its big horse teeth.

His gaze then landed on the student dressed in Mystical Division robes and he walked over towards him.

"You must be Guan Xilin, Feng Jiu's older brother." The Headmaster spoke with confidence and smiled at him.

Guan Xilin looked at the Headmaster and stood up to bow politely: "Pleased to meet you Headmaster."

"Since you are Feng Jiu's elder brother, you must know, does he have medical knowledge?" The Headmaster looked at him questioningly.

Guan Xilin looked at the Headmaster in silence.

Chapter 717: Surprise, It's Him!

On a hilltop not too faraway, Mo Chen was making his way to Feng Jiu's cave dwelling. He had already left, but when he heard the news about the strengthened enchantment and soundproof enchantment, he had to come and take a look for himself.

He was surprised to see that the Headmaster had also came over.

His gaze moved across to the student in Mystical Division robes. Was this the young boy's sworn elder brother Guan Xilin?

As he heard the Headmaster's question, he listened on quietly. Since he was the boy's sworn brother, he would know whether he had medical knowledge. If he said he didn't, then there was no need to break through the enchantments.

However, even if he had medical knowledge, Teacher Lu's condition was dire, he was just a young boy, what could he possibly do to help?

Under the tree, the Headmaster waited patiently for Guan Xilin's reply.

Guan Xilin looked at him. After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Instead of asking whether he has medical knowledge, I think Headmaster should be asking..... Will he save him? Or will he not save him?"

Upon hearing this, the Headmaster's heart skipped a beat as he pondered on the meaning of what he had just said.

He understood.

Instead of asking whether Feng Jiu had any medical knowledge, he should ask whether Feng Jiu would save Teacher Lu. If he were to save Teacher Lu, it meant that he had medical knowledge. If he didn't want to save him, he need only say he didn't know any medical knowledge.

Right from the start, they had only focused on the fact that Feng Jiu predicted that Teacher Lu would fall ill. They had sent students to bring him back, and then Teacher Lu went to try to break through the enchantments. Now he had come over personally....

They had all took for granted that they need only give Feng Jiu a command and he would obey...

He finally understood that even if they broke through the enchantments and woke Feng Jiu up, he might not necessarily save Teacher Lu.

He looked deeply at Guan Xilin and took a bow: "Thank you."

He thanked him for his insight.

Guan Xilin looked at the Headmaster and bowed slightly: "You're welcome."

All the bystanders were shocked to see that the Headmaster had bowed to the student. This was just too unreal.

From the nearby hill, Mo Chen looked on at the two people in conversation. He stared at the cave dwelling but didn't leave and then stared quietly at the Headmaster.

At this time, the Deputy Headmaster had arrived back at the teacher's office and got the updates from Teacher Lu. Thoughts flashed through his head and he was in shock as he remembered the rumours about the Ghost Doctor.

Ghost Doctor, dressed in red, a handsome young boy....

Then he thought about the Black Market President's words: "To save him, why look further afield and not closeby....

The Deputy Headmaster felt his head go bang as realisation hit him.

"It's him! It's him! It's actually him!"

He was so excited he could barely contain himself. After he shouted in excitement, he ran off towards the direction of Feng Jiu's cave dwelling.

Chapter 718: What Happened?

All the students were looking at the Headmaster and wondered why he hadn't broken through the enchantments and called for Feng Jiu. Just then, a surprised shout from nearby was heard.

"Headmaster! Headmaster, I know now! It's him, it's him!"

The Deputy Headmaster's body moved quick as a flash and he was stood in front of the Headmaster in no time at all. He was about to continue speaking when he saw that the Headmaster put up a soundproof enchantment.

"What do you mean by it's him? Didn't I send you to the Black Market to locate the whereabouts of the Ghost Doctor? Have you got any news?" The Headmaster questioned. No one else, other than Guan Xilin who stood next to him, could hear their conversation because of the soundproof enchantment he had put up.

When Guan Xilin heard this, he looked from the Headmaster to the Deputy Headmaster, and his eyes narrowed.

"It's him, it's Feng Jiu! He is the Ghost Doctor!"

The Deputy Headmaster said excitedly as he grabbed the Headmaster's sleeve: "Haven't I told you before, he's complicated. Not only his spiritual energy is superb, but his alchemy skills are also outstanding. But most importantly, he is the Ghost Doctor! The Ghost Doctor is a pharmacist! I heard that his alchemy standard has reached the sacred level. Right now, this talented boy is a student in our academy. How did this blessing fall happen to us at Nebula Academy?"

As he continued speaking, it was obvious that he was so excited he had become slightly incoherent. There was only one thought in his head, Feng Jiu, that young boy in red clothes that he had talent spotted was actually the famous Ghost Doctor!

The Headmaster was shocked when he heard this news, and he looked at Guan Xilin. When he saw how calm he was, he knew that the news was true.

He hadn't needed to ask or confirm it with anyone, he only needed to look at Guan Xiliin's reaction.

He was Feng Jiu's elder brother, so naturally he would know everything there was to know about him. Besides, after his earlier reminder, he didn't need to ask anymore questions and he knew that Feng Jiu was definitely the Ghost Doctor!

However, he hadn't expected the person he was seeking was actually within the academy. Nor had he expected that the student who always had a mischievous smile on his face, and gave people the impression that he was lazy and mediocre, was actually the famous Ghost Doctor!

No one knew how shocked he was at this point in time, nor how much this impacted his mood.

He finally understood Guan Xilin's earlier reminder. If he was just a regular student, then he wouldn't have cared. But if he was the Ghost Doctor... then the consequences wouldn't be trivial!

When the excited Deputy Headmaster saw the Headmaster's shocked expression, he shouted: "Headmaster? Headmaster? Did you hear what I said?"

The Headmaster recovered from his shock and looked at the Deputy Headmaster in the eye: "Old Guan, you're not young anymore, you need to think about the consequences of your actions. How do you think it looked to the teachers and students when you came running over screaming and shouting like an excited child?"

"I wasn't excited...."

"You can be excited to an extent, you need to watch your actions." The Headmaster said in a calm voice.

The Deputy Headmaster calmed down as he listened to the deep calm voice of the Headmaster. He was too excited earlier to notice anything amiss, but now that he had calmed down, he realised something was wrong.

He took one look at Guan Xiling and asked: "Headmaster, didn't you come to look for Feng Jiu? Why are you standing here?"

Chapter 719: Almost

After he heard his question, the Headmaster took a deep breath, his gaze moved over to the cave entrance and he said slowly: "I am waiting here."

"Waiting?"

The Deputy Headmaster replied in shock: "We can wait, however, I don't think Teacher Lu can wait! How about this, I will go and call for him. This is a matter of life and death, not just any matter. We can't wait."

He turned and was about to step out when the Headmaster shouted: " I said we are waiting, so we will wait! Whether he survives or not, it's up to Teacher Lu now."

"But......"

The Deputy Headmaster turned back and looked at the determined face of the Headmaster, and the expressionless face of Guan Xilin, but he couldn't understand why they had to wait.

Seeing this, the Headmaster said: "Old Guan, who did you say he was?"

"The Ghost Doctor! Feng Jiu is the Ghost Doctor!"

His eyes lit up as he replied and he seemed to have thought of something as his expression changed from excitement to calmness. At this moment, he finally understood what the Headmaster meant.

Yes, Feng Jiu is the Ghost Doctor, and the Ghost Doctor doesn't do as he was told, even if he was a student of the academy. From what he heard, the Ghost Doctor was eccentric and followed his heart in everything he did. If he didn't want to save him, then he wouldn't no matter what they did.

If they wanted his help to save Teacher Lu, then they couldn't treat him like a regular student. They had to treat him with respect, otherwise, anything else they did would be counterproductive.

Another thing to consider was that since he had entered their academy as a student, that meant that he hadn't wanted his status as the Ghost Doctor to be revealed. If they revealed his identity, then.....

When he thought about his excited screams and shouts earlier, he broke out in cold sweat.

He had experienced Feng Jiu's eccentric moods first hand, it was tricky to deal with.....

After he had calmed down, he looked at the Headmaster, then at the quiet Guan Xilin and smiled at him as he spoke: "Xilin! Is Feng Jiu sleeping inside?"

Guan Xilin glanced at him and nodded: "Yes."

"Oh, I see! How long does he usually sleep for?" Teacher Lu only had a few hours left, and if Feng Jiu slept for much longer, he was afraid.....

"I can't say for sure." He shook his head and said nothing else.

"Then let's wait!" He sighed and stood next to the Headmaster, his eyes on the entrance of the cave dwelling.

When the students and teachers saw the Deputy Headmaster stood there waiting as well, they were dumbfounded. Weren't they here to call for Feng Jiu? Why hadn't the Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster break through the enchantments and call for him?

What happened?

Ye Jing had also arrived. When she saw the situation, she found it strange.

After an hour, the Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster continued to wait patiently. Then two hours had passed, and no one moved. Everyone was confused and started to discuss the situation between themselves.

At this point, they only had two more hours left. Even though the Deputy Headmaster felt anxious, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that Feng Jiu would wake up soon.

Guan Xilin who had been silent the whole time and decided it was almost time. He looked at the Headmaster and finally spoke: "Deputy Headmaster, there is something I need your help with."

Chapter 720: How He Woke Up

At this point, the Deputy Headmaster was too worried to take much notice and replied half-heartedly: "What is it? Tell me."

"Can I borrow your Deputy Headmaster's token?" Guan Xilin looked at him and asked.

The Deputy Headmaster was shocked as he looked back at him. He then looked at the Headmaster and when he saw him nod his head, he took his token out and passed it to him. At the same time, he asked: "What do you need it for?"

Guan Xilin took the token without saying anything. He smiled at them and took his leave with Ye Jing after he bowed to them.

"What does he think he is doing?" THe Deputy Headmaster frowned as watched as the two people walked off.

"Just watch and you will find out."

The Headmaster returned his gaze to the cave dwelling entrance and his heart sank a little as he thought, Feng Jiu really could sleep.

After about half an hour, Guan Xilin and Ye Jing returned with something in their hands. They were followed by a few more students from the Spirit Division who were helping to carry things.

With everyone looking on with uncertainty, Guan Xilin ordered the students to place everything in front of the entrance of the cave dwelling's enchantment. There was a stove with a pot of spirit chicken ginseng soup being warmed up.

When the lids of everything else were opened up, the onlookers eyes widened in shock when they saw steamed meat buns, roast spirit chicken, more soup, and even a big leg of roast spirit pork being grilled on the fire rack. They looked on with drool dripping out of their mouths.

"What is he doing? Is he hungry? How did he manage to get all the food from the kitchen? This food is only given to the teachers, how did he manage to bring it here?"

"That's right. And given the current situation, is it appropriate to be having a feast here?"

The students continued their discussion, and some of the teachers looked on in anger. However, the Headmaster and the Deputy Headmaster hadn't said anything, so they couldn't say anything either. They saw the Deputy Headmaster give Guan Xilin his token. He wouldn't have been able to bring all this food over otherwise.

Mo Chen who was stood nearby watched on as he saw Guan Xilin had brought the feast to the cave dwelling entrance and couldn't help but smile.

So that was it.

The Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster looked on in silence as Guan Xilin used a fan to blow the delicious aromas into the cave dwelling. Their eyes lit up as they realised what he was doing.

So that was it! He was using the delicious aromas to wake Feng Jiu up. Could this really work?

They couldn't help but have doubts.

However, their doubts were replaced by surprise in the next moment.

Feng Jiu was woken up by the delicious aromas, her stomach groaning in hunger as she rolled around in bed lazily. She smiled as the smell of meat woke her up.

"Smells delicious..."

She thought she was dreaming, because it was not possible to have such delicious aromas of food in her cave dwelling or anywhere nearby.

So she turned over again, facing the outside and drifted off to sleep smelling the delicious aromas of meat.

However, the aromas of the food got stronger to the point she could name the dishes of the foods. Her stomach had started groaning in hunger again.

She opened her eyes and took a deep breath. She paused for a moment, then jumped out of bed. Her hair messy as she slipped on her robe quickly before she rushed outside.

"Who? Who is using delicious foods to entice me?"
