They all want the 'Spirit Root Illustrated Guide' we compiled, and they also want to enter the hall to watch how you, Master, heal people's spirit roots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the looks of Vice Hall Master Gu, it seems he has already reached some sort of cooperation with some of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi was silent for a moment: \"I have already handed over the management of the Tenth Qihuang Hall to Gu Jin Fan. In the future, you don't need to keep an eye on this matter. You, Jia Lu, and the others should focus more on Danyuan Peak and Danding Peak. Remember, never forget to improve your strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the world of cultivators, strength is what ultimately speaks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had to manage Danyuan Peak and Danding Peak, Yu Fu indeed felt somewhat stretched thin, and he really couldn't be bothered with the management of the Tenth Qihuang Hall anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Master, Jia Lu and I know what to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi: \"Go tell Gu Jin Fan to bring the recruited cultivators over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yu Fu left, Hua Changxi was about to enter the treatment room when she saw Hua Sanlang and Zhu Qinghuan walking over together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiu Niang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi's gaze swept back and forth over Hua Sanlang and Zhu Qinghuan, who were standing shoulder to shoulder, before finally settling on Hua Sanlang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiu Niang, all these years, Father and Mother, and all of us, have been very worried about you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Hua Changxi raised an eyebrow. Having not seen him for ten years, her third brother had become much more steady; he no longer immediately scolded her for not coming home the moment they met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Sanlang looked at Hua Changxi, his lips moving as if he found it hard to speak, or maybe he felt awkward: \"Have you been... alright all these years? There are so many rumors about you out there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi smiled: \"I'm doing quite well.\" She glanced at Zhu Qinghuan and continued, \"Cultivation and seclusion for cultivators can easily pass several years in a flash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've long planned to go home and visit, but I've been a bit busy lately. Once I have some free time, I'll go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Sanlang immediately grinned: \"Good, then Qinghuan and I will accompany you back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the intimacy in her third brother's tone, Hua Changxi's gaze fell once more on Zhu Qinghuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhu Qinghuan first called out \"Peak Master,\" then lowered her head with some embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Hua Sanlang saw this, he took the initiative to grab Zhu Qinghuan's hand and said with a smile to Hua Changxi: \"Jiu Niang, I've already brought Qinghuan home to meet Grandfather, Grandmother, and Father and Mother.\" He spoke while smiling fondly at Zhu Qinghuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My family, like me, are very fond of her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi understood Hua Sanlang's implication and let out a surprised \"Ah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, as a younger sister, she should be happy that her brother had found his other half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But toward this Zhu Qinghuan, who had obtained the Qihuang Token but not the 'secret realm' bestowed by the Divine Wood, and then gave the Qihuang Token to Meng Qingyao, she felt more wariness and caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially because her surname was Zhu! The same as the Empress Dowager!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forcing the corners of her mouth upward, Hua Changxi looked at Zhu Qinghuan and asked in a deliberately casual, relaxed tone: \"Your surname is Zhu; may I ask if your family is related to the Duke of Chengen's mansion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhu Qinghuan could answer, Hua Sanlang spoke up first: \"Jiu Niang, Qinghuan's family, like ours, are ordinary people with no relation to the Duke of Chengen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father and Mother said that our family has no prejudice based on social status.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi let out an \"Oh\" and then asked, \"Why did you give the Qihuang Token to Meng Qingyao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Zhu Qinghuan answered on her own, and she met Hua Changxi's gaze directly: \"Because the Xia family provides the most abundant cultivation resources for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi nodded and asked no further questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Sanlang was somewhat displeased with the two questions Hua Changxi had just asked; he wanted to say something, but Zhu Qinghuan held him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing this, Hua Changxi's eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her third brother sure listens to Zhu Qinghuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Yu Fu and Gu Jinfan led ten members of the Demon-Suppression Army into the No.10 Qihuang Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the Demon-Suppression Army, Hua Changxi immediately guessed that these should be the cultivators with damaged spiritual roots that Gu Jinfan had 'recruited'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no interest in how Gu Jinfan would manage the No.10 Qihuang Hall; instead, she looked at Hua Sanlang and Zhu Qinghuan. She realized that the two had come to her at this time, most likely aiming to learn about spiritual root treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come along.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These recruited cultivators with damaged spiritual roots would receive free treatment, at the cost that their treatment process would be observed by the disciples of Danyuan Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Hua Sanlang's face lit up with joy. He quickly pulled Zhu Qinghuan along and followed behind Hua Changxi into the treatment room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jinfan's heart was in his throat as he had the Demon-Suppression Army come for spiritual root treatment; he was uncertain of Hua Changxi's attitude toward it. Only after seeing that she said nothing did he finally feel relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you scared?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yufeng was greatly astonished to see Gu Jinfan let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jinfan gave him an annoyed glare: \"I am, after all, just a vice hall master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yufeng laughed out loud, then clicked his tongue twice: \"Hua Changxi really keeps her word; when she says she'll delegate power, she truly does.\" He looked at Gu Jinfan, \"I now trust your decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the treatment room, Hua Changxi carefully arranged the life artifacts, with Jia Lu, Ye Lingxuan, and Jiang Henian still serving as her assistants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, there were more onlookers—besides the disciples of Danyuan Peak, there were also people from Nine-Street Hall, Qihuang Pavilion, and Spirit Realm Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi swept her Truth-Seeing Eyes over the ten Demon-Suppression Army soldiers with damaged spiritual roots and immediately knew their specific injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi started with the Demon-Suppression Army soldier who had the least severe spiritual root damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the exclamations of the onlookers, she manifested the soldier's spiritual root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Demon-Suppression Army soldier's spiritual root is severely blocked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It should be due to having consumed a large quantity of low-grade pills, causing an accumulation of pill toxins; and during cultivation, the spiritual energy absorbed was not pure enough, resulting in so many 'spiritual impurities' congealing in the spiritual root.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The presence of spiritual impurities hinders the circulation of spiritual energy, affecting both cultivation speed and the smooth execution of techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For a blocked spiritual root, a 'Dredging Technique' must be applied to dissolve the spiritual impurities and restore unimpeded flow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi pointed at the manifested spiritual root and carefully explained the problems present in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Creation Hands (Repair): 2\u002F]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Demon-Suppression Army soldier's spiritual root was heavily damaged by external force, causing it to crack.
