Chapter 414: Blessings of the Dao

Wei Zhenjie left.

It seems he was driven away by Hua Changxi in anger!

Regarding this, all parties were somewhat baffled.

"What does Minister Wei mean exactly? Does he think Hua Changxi is the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall or not?"

The onlookers discussed cautiously.

In the Spiritual Vision Pavilion, Xia Ji's eyes flickered: "Wei Zhenjie came this time not to clarify Hua Changxi's identity, but rather to deliberately confuse everyone's perception of Hua Changxi's identity."

Xia Zhen frowned, caring about the same thing as others, wanting a definite answer: "So is Hua Changxi the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall or not?"

Xia Ji glanced at him: "Wei Zhenjie's move was very successful. See, even your heart is disturbed, let alone others."

He was sure that those who had firmly believed Hua Changxi was the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall were now wavering.

That Hua Changxi was also shrewder than he had imagined.

If she had not admitted to being the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall, outsiders might have doubted and strengthened their own guesses; but now that she openly admitted it, outsiders instead leaned toward disbelief.

Such is the human heart...

Xia Zhen was so frustrated that he fell silent.

On the square, Hua Changxi did not withdraw her gaze until Wei Zhenjie's figure completely disappeared.

"Yun You, logistics steward of Lingguang Hall, greets Peak Master Hua."

Wei Zhenjie left, but Yun You did not go.

Hua Changxi seemed to have only now noticed someone like Yun You. She looked at Yun You, sizing her up curiously and seriously: "Something?"

Yun You stared at Hua Changxi without blinking, not missing any expression on her face.

Hearing her slightly distant tone, she sighed inwardly, feeling frustrated at her own ability to discern.

She truly could not tell at all whether Hua Changxi was the Hall Master or not.

"Peak Master Hua, the Vermillion Army first fought a big battle with the Phoenix Clan, then suffered a sneak attack from ghost cultivators. Many were severely injured, and even after taking healing pills, their injuries haven't improved."

"I came this time not only to purchase pills, but also to invite several physicians to Lingguang Hall to treat the injured Vermillion Army."

"I heard you are highly skilled in medicine. Would you be willing to go to Lingguang Hall to see the Vermillion Army?"

Hua Changxi seemed very interested: "Go to Lingguang Hall for consultations?" She paused, looked around at the onlookers on the square, and smiled as she agreed straightforwardly.

"I'll go. Discuss the specifics with Wan Feng."

Wan Feng, who had been taken hostage by Princess Lingyuan, immediately pushed away the cultivator restraining him, quickly walked to Hua Changxi's side, and nodded at Yun You.

"You two discuss it."

Hua Changxi said this to Wan Feng and Yun You, then walked straight to Yu Fu and the other two, smiling: "Good performance today. You didn't embarrass Danyuan Peak." After speaking, she cast a cold glance at Princess Lingyuan.

Princess Lingyuan's expression stiffened under her gaze, completely losing her previous arrogance.

Seeing her reaction, a look of contempt flashed in Hua Changxi's eyes.

Another bully who fears the strong!

Hua Changxi lost all interest in Princess Lingyuan and turned to glance in the direction of Qihuang Pavilion and Spiritual Vision Pavilion.

Hmm?

Seeing the white-robed female cultivator beside Chu Tianxun in Qihuang Pavilion, surprise flashed in Hua Changxi's eyes.

The white-robed female cultivator turned out to be someone without a heart?

Seeing Xia Ji beside Xia Zhen, Hua Changxi's gaze flickered as well.

This was the first cultivator she had seen who had condensed a primordial spirit!

"Return to the peak."

Hua Changxi calmly withdrew her gaze and walked straight toward Danyuan Peak.

Yu Fu and the other two immediately followed.

Next came Ye Lingxuan and Jiang Henian's group.

At the Lingjing Pavilion, Xia Ji's expression was even grimmer than before. Even though Hua Changxi's group was completely out of sight, he still didn't look away.

Seeing this, Meng Qingyao asked in confusion, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Ji: "Your master has been seen through by Hua Changxi."

"Huh?"

"Ah?"

Meng Qingyao and Xia Zhen both looked at Xia Ji in surprise, neither fully understanding the specific meaning of his words.

Xia Ji looked at the two: "The primordial spirit technique I cultivate is rather special. Whenever someone 'sees' my primordial spirit, I can sense it. Hua Changxi... just now saw my primordial spirit."

Xia Zhen was stunned for a moment: "Then Hua Changxi's strength..."

Xia Ji narrowed his eyes: "Hua Changxi is definitely not just a Nascent Infant cultivator." He then turned to Xia Zhen. "Stop the investigation into Hua Changxi."

Hearing this, Xia Zhen exclaimed in surprise: "Why?"

Even Meng Qingyao looked at Xia Ji with confusion.

Xia Ji: "Whether or not Hua Changxi is the Lord of the Lingguang Hall no longer matters."

Seeing that Xia Zhen and Meng Qingyao both looked puzzled, Xia Ji smiled: "Regardless of whether Hua Changxi is the Lord of the Lingguang Hall or not, no one dares to underestimate her. Even if she isn't the Lord of the Lingguang Hall, she is still someone worth befriending."

Xia Ji looked at the two: "In fact, the Xia family doesn't need to be hostile toward Hua Changxi. Especially you, Qingyao—your alchemy talent surpasses many by a wide margin, and you usually can't even find someone to exchange insights with. Hua Changxi might be a good candidate."

Xia Zhen moved his lips as if to say something, but in the end, he swallowed his words.

Meng Qingyao, on the other hand, fell into thoughtful silence.

Qihuang Hall.

"Well? Does Hua Changxi have the Eight-Petal Divine Lamp?"

Princess Lingyuan rushed in and anxiously asked Zhu Xin.

Zhu Xin shook her head.

Princess Lingyuan exclaimed in surprise: "No?!" She paused. "If the Eight-Petal Divine Lamp isn't on Hua Changxi, then she's not the Lord of the Lingguang Hall!"

Having said that, Princess Lingyuan immediately flared up: "Since Hua Changxi isn't the Lord of the Lingguang Hall, why is she acting so arrogant in front of this princess?" She could never forget the contemptuous look Hua Changxi had given her.

Chu Tianxun glanced at the furious Princess Lingyuan and warned, "Don't provoke Hua Changxi."

Princess Lingyuan refused to accept this. She couldn't afford to provoke the Lord of the Lingguang Hall, who commanded the one hundred thousand Vermilion Bird troops, but as a royal princess, how could she not dare to provoke a Hua Changxi of humble origins?

Shen Qianfan tugged at Princess Lingyuan and shook his head at her.

Princess Lingyuan was still satisfied with Shen Qianfan. After all, over the years, he had firmly held the position of Qihuang Hall's master, which had brought her considerable benefits and given her more influence among her brothers and sisters.

Zhu Xin ignored Princess Lingyuan's little temper and looked at Chu Tianxun: "Should we continue investigating Hua Changxi?"

Chu Tianxun was silent for a long time before sighing: "No need." As he spoke, he looked at Shen Qianfan.

"When the people from Lingguang Hall come to seek physicians, arrange for a few of our men to go along to Lingguang Hall."

Since Hua Changxi didn't have the Eight-Petal Divine Lamp on her, they could only start with Lingguang Hall.

Once Hua Changxi left, the cultivators who had gathered in the square gradually dispersed.

As for whether Hua Changxi was the Lord of the Lingguang Hall, everyone could only form their own opinions.

Hua Changxi and her group returned to Danyuan Peak.

Hua Changxi smiled and said a few encouraging words to Ye Lingxuan and Jiang Henian's group, then took Yu Fu and the other two back to the bamboo hut on the mountaintop.

Outside the bamboo hut, Jia Lu was already waiting.

"Master, you're back."

Seeing Hua Changxi, Jia Lu immediately trotted over to greet her.

His supernatural power was the Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine, which was weak in combat, so he hadn't gone to the battle today.

Hua Changxi smiled at the four: "You've worked hard all these years."

Along the way, every part of Danyuan Peak appeared full of vitality, and the disciples were also spirited.

Afterward, Yu Fu and the other three reported to Hua Changxi the major events in the Medical Department and Danyuan Peak over the past ten years, and how they had dealt with them.

After listening, Hua Changxi was quite satisfied with Yu Fu and the other three's work capability. "With you managing Danyuan Peak, I am at ease. However..."

"Your strength is still somewhat weak. You've only cultivated to the Fourth Stage of Body Refinement. With divine abilities, you can barely handle Nascent Soul cultivators, but once you encounter a Spiritual Platform cultivator, you won't have much combat power."

Yu Fu said, "Master, we don't know what's going on either. We just can't break through the fourth layer of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art."

Zhao Xi took over: "A while ago, a heavenly anomaly appeared over Nanxiang County. At that time, all of us felt our bottlenecks loosen. Unfortunately, the anomaly disappeared too quickly."

As soon as he said this, the other three nodded simultaneously, expressions of regret on their faces.

Hua Changxi immediately perked up. "The anomaly you mentioned is..."

Yu Fu and the other three immediately spoke in turn, describing the appearance of the Law Mirror and the scene of the Fleshly Body Dao manifesting within it.

"It wasn't just us. All the Body Refinement cultivators in the Medical Department felt the shackles of the physical body loosening."

After hearing this, Hua Changxi's heart trembled.

She certainly knew that the 'heavenly anomaly' Yu Fu and the others mentioned was something she had caused. What shocked her was—she had cultivated the Fleshly Body Dao, and it could actually benefit all Body Refinement cultivators.

Was this the blessing of the Great Dao?

What a pity...

Hua Changxi felt a bit regretful. If opening the Fleshly Body Dao could truly help all Body Refinement cultivators, then this would be great merit. Based on past experience, her cultivation speed would definitely skyrocket.

Unfortunately, her current cultivation level was stagnating, and she couldn't know how much her cultivation speed had actually increased.
