She then took out another batch of Zhurong Stones and arranged them around Jingsheng to ensure enough blood and qi power, and only then did she walk toward Gongshu Xingyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you decided?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan had by now lost the mentality of 'taking advantage of being a master artifact refiner to demand a higher price.' Looking at Hua Changxi, his expression was very serious: \"What do you mean by 'decide'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi 'looked' at the Nascent Soul in Gongshu Xingyan's dantian, which was nailed full of eighty-one black nails, and said very clearly: \"I have a way to remove the ghost nails on your Nascent Soul. What price are you prepared to pay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan looked astonished: \"You can tell that my Nascent Soul's spiritual breath has been sealed by ghost nails?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi said calmly: \"I am a physician.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan gazed deeply at Hua Changxi, realizing that this person was even more formidable than he had imagined: \"I can refine artifacts for the Vermilion Bird Army, but after all, I am a master artifact refiner...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi interrupted him: \"What grade of artifact can you refine at most?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan lifted his chin: \"Before I was captured by the ghost race, the highest artifact I refined was sixth-grade. However, when I was imprisoned in the ghost prison, the Ghost King once asked me to refine a seventh-grade artifact. Although in the end it failed due to lack of materials, the semi-finished product was still above sixth-grade in level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi listened with a skeptical expression: \"You, a Nascent Soul Transformation stage cultivator, can refine a seventh-grade artifact? Are you trying to fool me into thinking I don't understand artifact refining?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan snorted: \"Do you know what an artifact refining genius is?\" with an expression as if Hua Changxi was being overly surprised by something common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi looked at him thoughtfully, calculated silently in her mind, and then said: \"I'll help you remove the ghost nails on your Nascent Soul, plus the favor of saving you from the ghost domain—you will refine weapons for the Vermilion Bird Army for a hundred years, and then we'll be even.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan felt somewhat exasperated: \"Hall Master Hua, to save that kid, you gave away the Ghostfire Token and the Xuanhuang Fruit. Why are you so stingy when it comes to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi looked at him expressionlessly: \"Not to mention that my ability to escape divine punishment and leave the ghost domain entirely relied on Jingsheng; just the fact that Jingsheng single-handedly guarded the Ghostfire Well, preventing ghostly qi and fire from spreading to the human world—just this merit of sacrificing himself to protect the world is beyond what ordinary people can achieve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, how can you be compared to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan opened his mouth to retort, but in the end found nothing to say and could only bow his head in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him like this, Hua Changxi did not urge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, matters regarding the Ghostfire Well had come to a close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhuyue and his group of the Vermilion Bird Army were guarding the Ghostfire Well, cultivating the 'Crimson Abyss Flame Prison' while healing their injuries; Jingsheng's injuries had stabilized and were recovering, so she no longer needed to watch over him; those loose cultivators had also been handed over to Song Weimin to manage...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi's gaze fell on Gongshu Xingyan again: \"I'm going to take Song Weimin to take over Nanxiang County. After that, I will go into seclusion to heal my injuries. You think it over carefully here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope that by the next time I come, you will have made up your mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Hua Changxi was about to leave and would then go into seclusion to heal, Gongshu Xingyan became anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not some ignorant young man; having suffered divine punishment, her injuries were definitely severe—who knew how long Hua Changxi would be in seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree to your terms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just refining weapons for the Vermilion Bird Army for a hundred years—he would do it. At least he was back in the human world now; no matter how bad things got, they couldn't be worse than when he was trapped in the ghost prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him agree, Hua Changxi's face instantly broke into a smile: \"Don't look so glum. Don't worry, I'm the kind of person who doesn't mistreat my own people. If you refine artifacts well for the Vermilion Bird Army, I won't shortchange you on cultivation resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Hua Changxi gave some instructions to Fang Zhuyue, telling him to guard the Ghostfire Well well, and then she led Gongshu Xingyan out of the Nine-Story Prison Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they came out, Hua Changxi quickly took out a Fuwa mask and put it on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan saw this and his mouth twitched violently: \"What kind of mask is that...?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi pointed at the group of loose cultivators outside the tower: \"They have all taken the Forget Dust Pill and have already forgotten that they saw me. Now I can't let them see my face again. I don't want to reveal my identity information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan found it hard to look at: \"You're the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall after all. Don't you have a decent mask artifact?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi: \"...I am willing to wear such a mask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan glanced sideways at the dharma robe on Hua Changxi, also with a look of disdain. Seeing Song Weimin not far away, who already had over three hundred subordinates in hand, he felt it necessary to improve relations with Hua Changxi. With a flick of his right hand, he produced a set of white dharma robe and a white mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi looked at the dharma robe and mask handed over. Although surprised, her hand moved quickly: \"The Ghost Tribe didn't confiscate your storage magical artifact?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan snorted. The Ghost Tribe did want to take it, but how could they know he had long ago refined his right thumb into a storage magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't answer, and Hua Changxi didn't mind, her attention completely on the dharma robe and mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dharma robe and mask were clearly a set. As soon as she held them, she felt they were extraordinary, at least much better than the fourth-grade dharma robe Tong Yao had given her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the color was white, which she didn't really like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if reading her mind, Gongshu Xingyan said, \"This set of dharma robe and mask, I call 'Follow Heart.' As the name suggests, the color, pattern, and style of the robe and mask change as your heart wishes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi widened her eyes, looking skeptical: \"Isn't that an exaggeration?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan snorted: \"Just try it and you'll know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Hua Changxi hesitated no more. With a light wave of her fair hand, amidst the fluttering of her sleeves, the dharma robe automatically covered her body like flowing water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight mental intent, a blooming red lotus appeared in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the originally plain dharma robe turned a vivid crimson, and on its skirt, layer upon layer of lotus patterns emerged from nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As spiritual power flowed, Hua Changxi in the dharma robe seemed like a red lotus blooming in the wind, dazzlingly beautiful, and there was a faint hint of lotus fragrance in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of surprise passed through Hua Changxi's eyes. Then she shifted her intent, thinking of the vermilion bird spirit shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the dharma robe became radiant with flowing light, interweaving red and gold. A lifelike vermilion bird pattern slowly emerged, its wings spread as if about to take flight, with divine charm as if by nature.\u003C\u002Fp>",1515,"2026-05-29T04:11:04.856Z","2026-06-01T04:29:08.487Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","514c668a46156f966902b5d7b9d8dea37632a21a92809cf9385612f0804f64da","the-first-iron-rice-bowl-of-great-jin-chapter-476","the-first-iron-rice-bowl-of-great-jin-chapter-474",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-first-iron-rice-bowl-of-great-jin-cover.jpg"]
