Chapter 115: Perspective

After Hua Changxi finished her class, she hurried back to her courtyard and then threw herself into cultivation, starting to consolidate her cultivation.

However, after cultivating for a while, she stopped.

She was now cultivating, and she could increase her cultivation by more than a million spiritual energy points in an hour. She absorbed too much spiritual energy. Every time she cultivated, the spiritual energy around her would surge toward her side.

In the past, no one paid attention to the Menial Hall, and she could cultivate openly, but now she didn't dare to cultivate like this.

Seeing Mu Qingying and the He sisters in the classroom today, she knew that the Department Head and the He family were all watching her.

And there was Gu Jinfan. She obtained the cultivation technique in the Zhu Que Transmission Stone, and this person would likely be watching her in the dark.

She was now surrounded by these people. If she still cultivated like before, it wouldn't be long before she attracted others' attention.

It was not easy to increase her cultivation speed, but now she couldn't cultivate openly. Hua Changxi was very depressed: "If only I knew how to set up a teleportation array."

With a teleportation array, she could instantly teleport to Mount Wuzhi to cultivate, and then teleport back, without worrying about others knowing she had left.

But the teleportation array was a high-level array, and "Four Arts Introduction" didn't mention it at all.

Although her somersault cloud speed was already very fast, and it only took half an hour to go to Mount Wuzhi, going back and forth like this every day, not to mention that she would be tired, it would be hard to avoid being discovered by people watching her in the dark if she did it too many times.

"Bang bang bang~"

Knocking sounds rang out outside the courtyard. Hua Changxi opened the courtyard gate and found it was Yu Gui.

Yu Gui: "Sister Changxi, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Hua Changxi shook her head: "What is the matter with you coming to find me?"

Yu Gui lowered his voice: "Do you still remember Eunuch Xuan of the Eastern Depot?"

Hua Changxi nodded: "Was he poisoned again?"

Yu Gui choked: "Eunuch Xuan was not poisoned, but his subordinates were injured, and he wants to invite you to treat them. My godfather asked me to come and ask if you have time to go to the Eastern Depot?"

Hua Changxi's eyes turned: "Go to the Eastern Depot?"

There were many places in the inner city of the capital that ordinary people could not approach, especially places near the Imperial City.

The location of the Eastern Depot was adjacent to the Imperial City. Hua Changxi was naturally willing to be able to explore places she hadn't been to before in an upright manner.

"Eunuch Xuan has taken care of my business quite a bit. Since he opened his mouth, how could I not go?"

Seeing that she was willing to go to the Eastern Depot, Yu Gui immediately took her to see Eunuch Yu, and then Eunuch Yu took Hua Changxi to the Eastern Depot.

The Eastern Depot was not only adjacent to the Imperial City but also occupied a whole alley, and its power was no less than that of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Arriving at the Eastern Depot, Eunuch Yu warned Hua Changxi: "Master, many things handled by the Eastern Depot involve the royal family. After entering, we should not speak if we can, so as not to commit taboos."

Hua Changxi could see that the people in the Eastern Depot acted very cautiously. She followed Eunuch Yu silently all the way to the courtyard where Eunuch Xuan worked

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw the courtyard full of wounded.

Looking at the wounds of the injured, it was very clear they had suffered attacks from spiritual power.

However, were these people's wounds not a bit too uniform?

Hua Changxi checked the injuries of a few people nearby and discovered that the degree of their injuries was almost the same.

This is...

Hua Changxi's eyes flickered; these people must have been severely injured by some kind of object or array capable of launching group attacks.

What had the Eastern Depot people been doing?

Hua Changxi looked around at the wounded in the courtyard; the number reached as high as sixty or seventy. Although most were martial artists, there were also quite a few cultivators—about twenty.

These cultivators were certainly not the entirety of the Eastern Depot. If one Eastern Depot had so many cultivators, one wondered exactly how many cultivators the imperial family had cultivated in secret.

At this moment, Eunuch Xuan came out of the room. Seeing Eunuch Yu and Hua Changxi arrive, he hurried forward.

He was also injured, but his injuries were not that severe, and he could still move, unlike those lying in the courtyard, many of whom had fallen into a coma, while a small portion, though awake, were breathing more than they were exhaling.

Hua Changxi looked at Eunuch Xuan, then looked at the others lying in the courtyard, her eyes flickering.

With so many wounded who had difficulty moving, how had the Eastern Depot people brought them back?

"Manager Hua, please take a look quickly—can you treat these people?"

"I will only know if I can treat them after I have examined their injuries."

"Then hurry and examine them."

Hua Changxi then walked toward the most severely injured martial artist.

Seeing her save the martial artist first, Eunuch Xuan hurriedly stopped her: "Save the cultivators first."

Hua Changxi looked at him: "Cultivators have spiritual Qi to support them and can hold on for a while longer, but martial artists are mortals; if they are severely injured by spiritual power, they won't be able to hold on for long."

After hearing this, Eunuch Xuan was silent for a moment, but still insisted: "Save the cultivators first."

Cultivating a cultivator was much harder than cultivating a martial artist.

A cultivator first needed spiritual veins, then had to be given cultivation techniques and cultivation resources, and also needed time to grow.

As for martial artists, the Great Jin martial arts scene was prosperous, and there was no shortage of martial artists; as long as one spent a little silver, there were plenty of martial artists willing to sell their lives.

Hua Changxi frowned. After thinking, she wrote a prescription to slow down the rampaging spiritual Qi and had Eunuch Xuan boil the medicine for the injured martial artists to take; this could at least help them hold on for a while longer.

Being from the Eastern Depot, Eunuch Xuan gritted his teeth when he saw the prescription required over ten kinds of high-quality medicinal herbs, but he still had people go to the storehouse to get the medicine and boil it.

The cultivators were generally not in a coma, and Hua Changxi began to inquire about their situation.

【Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique (Entry-level): Diagnosis 4/10】

Data jumped out before her eyes; Hua Changxi's eyes flickered, and she continued to diagnose earnestly.

【Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique (Entry-level): Diagnosis 5/10】

┊

【Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique (Entry-level): Diagnosis 10/10】

When the number of diagnosed cultivators reached ten, Hua Changxi felt a warm current flowing toward her eyes.

Hua Changxi immediately closed her eyes, feeling the warm current washing over her eyeballs again and again.

Seeing Hua Changxi suddenly stop the diagnosis and treatment, Eunuch Xuan frowned and looked at Eunuch Yu.

Eunuch Yu shook his head, pulled Eunuch Xuan to the side, and explained: "Treating cultivators is very mentally draining. She has diagnosed seven in a row; it is time for her to rest."

Eunuch Xuan rubbed his throbbing forehead and said in an anxious tone: "It wouldn't matter if one or two of these cultivators died, but if too many die, I will be held accountable."

Eunuch Yu lowered his voice: "What exactly did you go to do? How are so many people injured?"

Eunuch Xuan glanced at him: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Seeing Eunuch Yu's embarrassed expression, he added, "I am doing this for your own good; knowing too much about some things is not a good thing."

At this moment, Hua Changxi opened her eyes again. The moment she opened them, five-colored spiritual light flashed across her pupils.

When she looked at the wounded again, she possessed the ability of X-ray vision; her eyes were like scanners, able to scan the inside and outside of the wounded's bodies thoroughly.

Hua Changxi's heart shook. At this moment, she could not only see the amount of spiritual Qi in the wounded's spiritual veins and judge their cultivation level through the concentration of spiritual Qi, but she could also clearly see a small sword condensed from spiritual Qi inside their spiritual veins, rampaging and destroying their spiritual veins.

Wherever the small sword passed, not only were the spiritual veins damaged, but the overflowing spiritual power was also rampaging and attacking their flesh.

Hua Changxi went back to look at the six people she had diagnosed earlier; they were all the same.

Afterward, she continued to diagnose the remaining cultivators, and without exception, she saw the wandering small swords in their spiritual veins.

Hua Changxi tried to use spiritual power to force the small sword out, but unfortunately, she failed.

Seeing this, she could not help but become solemn.

She had corresponding spiritual pills to treat damaged spiritual veins in cultivators, but how was she to eliminate the small swords in their spiritual veins?

"What is it?"

Eunuch Xuan noticed the change in Hua Changxi's expression and immediately asked.

Hua Changxi's eyes scanned Eunuch Xuan, and through the concentration of spiritual Qi in his spiritual veins, she judged that he was a Qi Sea Realm cultivator.

"There is a sword Qi rampaging inside these people's bodies, which is destroying their bodies. They can take Recovery Pills to repair the injuries to their bodies."

"However, if the sword Qi is not removed, they will not be able to fully recover. Moreover, over time, it will damage their cultivation aptitude."

Eunuch Xuan was first shocked by Hua Changxi's gaze—when she looked over, he actually had the feeling of being seen through—and then he was surprised that she could actually diagnose that they had been injured by a sword.

"Can you not eliminate the sword Qi?"

Hua Changxi thought for a moment and said: "There is one method that can be tried, which is acupuncture. However, ordinary silver needles certainly won't work. They are cultivators, and that sword Qi is transformed from spiritual Qi, so it requires the use of corresponding needle-tool magical artifacts."

Seeing Eunuch Xuan's brows knit into a knot, Hua Changxi asked: "Eunuch, do you have any cultivators under your command who can refine tools? Needle tools that can carry spiritual Qi should not be difficult to refine."

"If there were corresponding needle tools, I should be able to dissolve the sword Qi in their bodies."

Eunuch Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said quickly: "You suppress their injuries first; I will be back soon." After saying this, he was about to leave.

Hua Changxi hurriedly called him back: "Eunuch, suppressing their injuries requires taking Pulse-Solidifying Pills."

Eunuch Xuan's expression paused: "Pulse-Solidifying Pills?"

He had heard of Pulse-Solidifying Pills, but he did not have this kind of spiritual pill in his possession at all.

Eunuch Xuan looked at Hua Changxi: "The Eastern Depot does not have Pulse-Solidifying Pills. Can you... refine them?"

Hua Changxi smiled: "If it were someone else, I certainly wouldn't be able to, but since you have asked, Eunuch, I can refine them. However, Pulse-Solidifying Pills are very difficult to refine."

Eunuch Xuan saw it; Hua Changxi was asking for benefits. He glanced at Eunuch Yu, who was playing the quail on the side, and said: "If the Eastern Depot can be of help in the future, just speak up."

Hua Changxi smiled: "Eunuch, you joke. The Eastern Depot handles major affairs; as a commoner, how would I dare to trouble you? However, I do have a small matter I would like to ask you about, Eunuch."

Eunuch Yu glanced at Hua Changxi quickly; he really admired her for actually daring to negotiate terms with the Eastern Depot.

Eunuch Xuan stared at Hua Changxi for a while and smiled: "What do you want to ask?"

Hua Changxi: "Eunuch, you understand teleportation arrays, right?"

Eunuch Xuan's expression changed, and the gaze he looked at Hua Changxi with held a bit more coldness.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi pointed to the martial artists lying on the ground in the courtyard: "With so many people suffering severe injuries, it would not be easy to bring them back by human power. They must have been teleported back, if I am not mistaken?"

"Eunuch, I don't have any other meaning; I just feel that traveling back and forth between the Medical Department and home is too tiring and troublesome, and I want to set up a teleportation array to reduce the burden."

Eunuch Xuan looked at Hua Changxi deeply: "I cannot make the decision regarding the teleportation array; I must ask the Superintendent for instructions."

Bringing out the Eastern Depot Superintendent was meant to scare Hua Changxi away, but who knew that Hua Changxi was not scared at all.

Hua Changxi: "Then I will wait for your news, Eunuch. For now, I will go to treat those injured martial artists."

Eunuch Yu looked at Hua Changxi, having a new understanding of her boldness once again.

Eunuch Xuan was silent for a while, but in the end, he didn't say anything and turned to leave.

After he left, Eunuch Yu had the heart to say something, but seeing Hua Changxi unaffected as she diagnosed and treated the injured martial artists, the words in his mouth eventually turned into a long sigh.

In the most imposing courtyard of the Eastern Depot, after Eastern Depot Superintendent Zhang Fang heard Eunuch Xuan's report: "Hua Changxi..." Knowing all parties in the palace very well, he immediately asked, "What is her relationship with Hua Changxin, the personal disciple of the Taisu Palace Sect Leader?"

Eunuch Xuan replied: "They are twin sisters."

Zhang Fang smiled: "No wonder she has such confidence. Give her a copy of the teleportation array diagram we have; consider it building a good relationship."

Eunuch Xuan did not expect Zhang Fang to agree so easily, but soon, he understood.

Taisu Palace certainly had teleportation array diagrams too; even if they didn't give it to Hua Changxi this time, she would be able to obtain one when Hua Changxin returned to the capital.

It was better to give it now, and it could also make her treat the Eastern Depot's cultivators.

Moreover, teleportation arrays were not easy to set up; even if they gave Hua Changxi the teleportation array diagram, she might not necessarily be able to set it up.

Zhang Fang usually dealt with big shots coming in and out of the palace and didn't care much about Hua Changxi, but the fact that she could refine spiritual pills made him keep her in mind.

Seeing Zhang Fang start to handle other matters, Eunuch Xuan quietly withdrew. He then went to the tool-refining room, found the Eastern Depot's tool-refining cultivator, and had him refine a set of acupuncture needle tools, only then returning to the courtyard where the wounded were.

Hua Changxi looked at the teleportation array diagram handed over by Eunuch Xuan; to be honest, she was also a bit surprised. When she brought it up, she had actually prepared to be rejected. She didn't expect the Eastern Depot people to be so easy to talk to and actually give it to her.

Since someone had given her the teleportation array diagram, she took out two bottles of Pulse-Solidifying Pills and handed them to Eunuch Xuan, asking him to have the injured cultivators take them.

Eunuch Xuan did not expect Hua Changxi to have refined Pulse-Solidifying Pills ready. His eyes moved: "The needle tools will take two days to refine. During this period, will they be alright?"

Hua Changxi: "The cultivators should be fine, but I am not sure about these martial artists. I just checked their physical condition; I will write a new prescription to see if they can hold on."

Martial artists had mortal bodies; the small swords transformed from spiritual Qi had no spiritual veins to contain them, so they rampaged inside their bodies, and many had their internal organs injured.

After leaving the Eastern Depot, Hua Changxi returned to the Medical Department and couldn't wait to study the teleportation array diagram.

After looking at it, she discovered that she seemed unable to set it up.

The teleportation array required the use of some special array stones, which should be findable at Mount Wuzhi, but runes had to be carved on the array stones, which stumped her.

She didn't know how to draw runes, let alone draw them on stones.

However, Hua Changxi finally thought of a way. She first went to Mount Wuzhi, found all the Profound Iron Stones needed for the teleportation array, and cut the stones according to the teleportation array diagram. On the day Eunuch Xuan notified her that the needle-tool magical artifacts were refined, she brought the Profound Iron Stones to the Eastern Depot.
