Chapter 278: Cultivation Stalled

On the evening of finishing class at No. 2 Qihuang Hall, Hua Changxi teleported to Lingguang Palace, and after starting cultivation, she closely monitored her cultivation speed.

[Realm: Transformation Infant 8.5 billion/1 billion; Divine Sense: (100,100) ten thousand]

After one night, Hua Changxi looked at her cultivation data.

The cultivation speed had increased, although the increase was very small, it had indeed increased.

Before this, cultivating for one hour could increase her cultivation base by 5 million points; now, cultivating for one hour could increase it by about 5.05 million points.

That is to say, even without the Qihuang Token on her, teaching at Qihuang Hall could still increase her cultivation.

After confirming this, Hua Changxi returned to Danyuan Peak, and then went directly to No. 3 Qihuang Hall to find Huo Yunxiao: "Huo Yunxiao, for the next month, I will be teaching at No. 3 Qihuang Hall every day."

Huo Yunxiao did not make any difficulties and directly agreed: "Sure."

Hua Changxi looked at him and added: "Every class, I will bring one hundred apprentices from Danyuan Peak to listen."

Huo Yunxiao nodded again: "No problem." As he spoke, he looked around the hall, "If you bring a hundred people, and if some others come, I'm afraid there won't be enough seats."

"Like this, to allow more people to attend the lecture, I will remove all the tables and chairs from the room and replace them with meditation cushions."

Hua Changxi looked at Huo Yunxiao suspiciously: "Why are you so agreeable this time?"

Huo Yunxiao said with a chuckle: "It's all because you showed your power at No. 2 Hall yesterday, even Director Gu got a mouthful of sarcasm from you. If I made things difficult for you, wouldn't you come for me?"

After hearing this, Hua Changxi thought for a moment and understood: "It seems you have taken my words to heart. That's good!"

Huo Yunxiao thought to himself, how could they dare not take it to heart?

Although the Qihuang Halls currently seem to serve no purpose, everyone is well aware of the important position of Qihuang Hall in the Dan Holy Hall.

Why are all sides fighting so fiercely?

Isn't it all to secure a place in the Holy Land after the Dan Holy Hall reappears?

Since they know the importance of Qihuang Hall, it is necessary to secure the position of Hall Master.

Hua Changxi's outburst at No. 2 Hall served as a reminder to all Hall Masters that they were merely temporarily occupying the position of Qihuang Hall Master.

In order to secure their positions, all Hall Masters know that they must actively and proactively do more to promote the dissemination of medical arts and alchemy.

Regarding the exploration of Qihuang Halls, the Hall Masters know very little, at least not as much as Hua Changxi.

Now, the Hall Masters have reached a consensus: since Hua Changxi wants to teach, let her teach, and perhaps they can learn something from the rules she sets for her classes.

"Alright then, I won't disturb you."

After receiving Huo Yunxiao's reply, Hua Changxi returned to Danyuan Peak.

On the first floor of the Danyuan Secret Realm, the spirit herbs in the southeastern area had basically all been harvested, and now only the processing and storage of these herbs remained.

The medicinal fields had been vacated, so they needed to start cultivating the fields.

After the fields were managed, they would need to plant spirit herbs.

Hua Changxi wanted that before Tong Yao finished refining the display spiritual tool, the spirit herbs in the southeastern area of the first floor of the secret realm would have completed the process of harvesting → processing → planting.

When the secret realm recruits new apprentices in the future, this process can be replicated in other areas. In this way, the development and management of the Danyuan Secret Realm can gradually get on track.

Hua Changxi called Zhou Shou from the Task Hall and told him that starting from the first day of July, she would bring a hundred apprentices to No. 3 Hall every day to teach, for a period of one month.

Having experience in arranging apprentices to study spirit herb processing at the Lecturer Hall, Zhou Shou quickly said: "Hall Master, rest assured, I can arrange the list by tomorrow. I guarantee that it will not delay spirit herb processing and will ensure that every apprentice can take turns attending classes at No. 3 Hall."

Hua Changxi gave a few more instructions, then dismissed Zhou Shou. After that, she entered the third floor of the secret realm.

[Third-grade Alchemist (Supreme Pill): Refined 1,550 furnace loads 1,550/]

Hua Changxi looked at her alchemy data. Now, she had processed a large batch of third-grade spirit herbs and could start refining third-grade pills to improve her alchemy rank.

While Hua Changxi was focusing on alchemy in the secret realm, all sides of the Medicine Department received news that Hua Changxi would be teaching at No. 3 Hall.

Lingjing Pavilion.

Meng Qingyao stood respectfully in front of Xia Zhen: "Sixteenth Elder, according to recent investigations, among the eighteen Qihuang Halls, each hall has a specific teaching content."

"Hua Changxi specifically stated that she wants to teach at Halls No. 1 to No. 9. It seems she has already figured out the medical arts and alchemy content to be taught in these nine halls."

"According to the previous situation where Director Gu and his disciples fought over Halls No. 1, No. 2, and No. 6, Hall No. 1 should be a place for teaching spirit herb identification; Hall No. 2 is a place for teaching spirit herb processing; Hall No. 6 is a place for teaching alchemy."

"As for what the other Qihuang Halls teach, it depends on what lessons Hua Changxi plans to take in those halls."

Meng Qingyao paused. "Sixteenth Elder, I cannot understand why Hua Changxi wants to attend classes in so many Qihuang Halls. Could she have that many Qihuang Tokens?"

Xia Zhen shook his head. "Unlikely. The Qihuang Halls are places for imparting the Dao and resolving doubts. Leaving aside whether Hua Changxi can master so much medical and alchemical knowledge, even the Holy Land would not allow one person to control several Qihuang Halls."

"I am more inclined to think that Hua Changxi's understanding of the Qihuang Halls is still in the exploratory stage. She wants to attend classes in Halls One through Nine, likely to investigate or confirm something."

After hearing this, Meng Qingyao still had doubts in her mind, but she felt that Xia Zhen's words made a lot of sense.

Xia Zhen was silent for a moment, then spoke again. "Although Hua Changxi's lessons are very basic, there is still something to gain from listening." He looked toward Xia Ziyang and the others in the Spirit Mirror Pavilion.

"All of you should go and listen. If any of you have physicians or alchemists you are training, bring them along as well. If Hua Changxi helps build their foundation, it will save you some trouble."

Xia Ziyang and the others all agreed.

The people in the Qihuang Pavilion had similar thoughts. Whether from the imperial family or the nobility, they all selected a batch of cultivators talented in medicine and alchemy, preparing to bring them to listen to Hua Changxi's lessons.

Time quickly arrived at the first day of the seventh month.

Qihuang Hall Number Three.

Hua Changxi arrived with a hundred apprentices and found that the hall was already packed with people.

Unlike the previous time at Hall Number Two, where all the listeners were children of noble and powerful families, this time there were many unfamiliar faces, as well as some physicians and alchemists from the Nine Streets.

After the apprentices found seats and sat down, Hua Changxi began. "Starting today, I will be teaching about the cultivation of first-grade spirit herbs." She nodded to the four apprentices sitting to her left and right, signaling them to take notes in class.

The cultivation of first-grade spirit herbs...

The expressions of others in the hall fluctuated slightly upon hearing Hua Changxi's words.

So Hall Number Three teaches the cultivation of spirit herbs!

July slipped away day by day amidst Hua Changxi's lessons.

Every day, different apprentices from the Danyuan Secret Realm came to Qihuang Hall Number Three to listen. As the apprentices' knowledge of cultivation grew, the medicinal fields in the southeast area of the first layer of the Danyuan Secret Realm were gradually planted with spirit herbs.

The master of Qihuang Hall Number Three was Wei Zhenjie, the head of the Heavenly Department. To relieve the suppression pressure on the Heavenly Department, Wei Zhenjie was eager for the other Holy Lands to recover quickly.

Therefore, when he learned that Hua Changxi would be teaching at Qihuang Hall Number Three, he directly ordered Huo Yunxiao to give her full support.

As a result, under Huo Yunxiao's promotion, many physicians and alchemists from the Nine Streets came to Qihuang Hall Number Three to attend the lessons on spirit herb cultivation.

During this period, Hua Changxi's cultivation speed also gradually increased. By the end of the month, her cultivation speed had reached a rate of six million points of cultivation per hour.

However, starting from the tenth day of the seventh month, Hua Changxi's cultivation stalled.

[Realm: Nascent Infant Realm 99.99 billion/1 billion; Divine Sense: (100100) ten thousand]

Looking at the stagnant cultivation data, Hua Changxi frowned deeply. She could feel that she had already cultivated to the limit of the Nascent Infant Realm, yet she could not break through.

Hua Changxi thought it was because her accumulation was insufficient, so she continued to cultivate as usual. Unfortunately, by the end of the seventh month, her realm still showed no change.
