Chapter 134
After moving the spirit ore, Hua Hua Changxi collected another batch of second-tier and third-tier spirit plants, spirit herbs, and spirit fruits in Mount Mount Wuzhi and placed them into the Shennong Cauldron. Originally, she had also wanted to collect fourth-tier spirit herbs, but unfortunately, fourth-tier spirit herbs in Mount Mount Wuzhi were pitifully scarce.
"Fourth-tier spirit herbs grow way too slowly."
The Mountain Spirit replied: "The higher the tier of a spirit herb, the longer its natural growth time. The spiritual energy recovery of the Four Spirits Realm has only just begun, so naturally, there won't be many high-tier spirit herbs."
Hua Hua Changxi wasn't truly bothered; for her alchemist rank to upgrade to fourth-grade, she still needed to refine over twenty thousand more cauldrons of pills, which would take her quite a long time.
By the time she was actually ready to refine fourth-grade pills, perhaps the fourth-tier spirit herbs would have grown as well.
After collecting the herbs, Hua Hua Changxi went to check on the spirit grain and spirit rice managed by An Ze and An Ran. The fields near the Mount Mount Wuzhi area had rich spiritual energy, and a batch of spirit rice and grain had already ripened.
Hua Hua Changxi took out spirit stones, bought a batch of spirit rice and grain, and then told An Ze and An Ran to take them directly to the shop for sale once the harvest was in.
Upon hearing this, An Ze hurriedly said: "Fairy, many people have come to pre-order the batch of spirit rice and grain we are growing. If we sell it to them, we won't even need to sell it at the shop."
Hua Hua Changxi frowned: "Ordinary people can also consume spirit rice and grain; eating it can strengthen the body and improve health. You cannot sell it all to them."
An Ze hesitated: "Those people... are all powerful local figures in Qingzhou. If we don't sell to them, I'm afraid they will cause trouble."
Hua Hua Changxi fell silent. Suddenly, she thought of someone: "I saved the Prince of Dong'an in Mount Mount Wuzhi before. Qingzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Prince of Dong'an; you should go find him for help."
An Ze's expression brightened. The highest-ranking official he had ever seen in his life was the County Magistrate. No wonder the village elders always said that if you follow the right person, even the chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven. A commoner like him who made a living by farming could now actually go to see a Prince.
After discussing the details of selling the spirit grain and rice with An Ze and An Ran, Hua Hua Changxi intended to leave. As she was leaving, she suddenly paused and looked at An Ze and An Ran.
"You are both Fire Spirit Root cultivators. Although the cultivation techniques I gave you before are not bad, they are not top-tier. I now have a top-tier Fire-type cultivation technique here."
"Practicing this technique will increase your cultivation speed, but it requires you to disperse your current cultivation and start over."
"Furthermore, because this technique comes from a great figure, once you practice it, you must uphold the will of this great figure: to guard the peace of the four directions and protect the well-being of the common people."
"This is the technique I practice. You can consider it."
An Ze and An Ran were at a loss upon hearing this.
An Ran was bolder and more willing to express her thoughts: "Fairy, my brother and I don't know much about cultivation matters, and we aren't sure how to choose, but we trust you, Fairy. If you think it's good for us to change our cultivation technique, then we will change."
Hearing this, Hua Hua Changxi felt the trust the siblings had in her, but this trust was somewhat heavy, mixed with a responsibility she was unwilling to bear.
"An Ran, I am very happy that you trust me so much, but I must clarify in advance: when you make a decision, it must be based on yourselves. What I think is good might not be suitable for you."
"How about this: you come with me to the capital. When the time comes, you decide for yourselves whether to change your cultivation technique. I am only giving you a suggestion."
"You are the ones making the choice, and you are the ones who will bear the consequences. You must remember this clearly."
After hearing this, An Ran and An Ze looked at each other and nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your guidance, Fairy. We will remember it."
Fairy Fire Lotus did not make the decision for them directly. Although they felt a little uneasy, following such a person made them feel more at ease.
Subsequently, Hua Hua Changxi condensed a cloud and took An Ran and An Ze straight to the Lingguang Hall in Nanxiang County.
On the way, An Ze thought of something and hurriedly said: "Fairy, more and more people have been coming to Mount Mount Wuzhi recently, and some are even secretly inquiring about your news."
Hua Hua Changxi was not surprised that outsiders were inquiring about her, nor was she particularly worried.
Everyone who had seen her had taken an Inner Demon Oath, and even the Mountain Spirit and the Welcoming Pine did not know her identity in the capital.
"Let them be. You just need to instruct your subordinates to maintain order in Mount Mount Wuzhi and manage the shop well. The rest is to focus on cultivation."
"If you really encounter trouble, don't be afraid. Notify me as soon as possible, and I will come to handle it."
Hearing this, the siblings An Ze and An Ran quickly looked at each other, their eyes filled with relief—relief that they had met Fairy Fire Lotus.
After entering the Infant Transformation Realm, Hua Hua Changxi's control over spiritual energy became increasingly free. The Somersault Cloud was related to escaping and transportation, so she had studied it with determination and had now practiced it to a state of perfection. In less than half an hour, the Lingguang Hall was within the three's line of sight.
Hua Hua Changxi glanced indifferently at the army blocking the intersection and, taking the siblings An Ze and An Ran, flew like a meteor to the outside of the Transmission Hall of Lingguang Hall.
Looking at the palace in front of them that looked like a celestial palace, An Ran and An Ze were both full of shock.
"Follow me."
Hua Hua Changxi brought An Ran and An Ze to the underground transmission plaza and stood before the Zhu Que Transmission Stele: "The cultivation technique I mentioned to you is called the 'Zhu Que Divine Art'."
As she spoke, she looked at the siblings who were still in shock.
"Do you know the name of this realm we are in?"
The siblings shook their heads in unison.
Hua Hua Changxi: "Our realm is called the Four Spirits Realm. You should at least know what the Four Spirits are, right?"
An Ze nodded: "Zhu Que, Xuan Wu, Qing Long, and Bai Hu are the Four Spirits."
Before they knew that there were truly cultivators who could fly and burrow into the earth, the Four Spirits were all worshipped by the common people as gods.
An Ran looked at Hua Hua Changxi with burning eyes: "Fairy, I want to practice the 'Zhu Que Divine Art'."
An Ze glanced at An Ran and followed up: "Me too."
Hua Hua Changxi: "Have you seen the content on the stele clearly?"
An Ze and An Ran nodded in unison: "We have seen it clearly."
Hua Hua Changxi asked again: "Are you sure you've thought it through? You could actually take some time to consider it."
An Ran: "Fairy, there is no need to consider. Being able to practice the 'Zhu Que Divine Art' is absolutely the good fortune of three lifetimes for my brother and me. If our father and mother knew that my brother and I could one day become the Zhu Que Army guarding the peace of a region, they would be proud of us."
Although An Ze did not speak, his expression already revealed that he thought the same.
Seeing this, Hua Hua Changxi said no more: "Then take your oath."
"I, before the Zhu Que spirit, solemnly swear... if I break this oath, may the spirits and gods punish me together. Zhu Que's holy might, witness my original intention."
Hua Hua Changxi watched the siblings take their oath and watched their solemn expressions; a feeling of solemnity and holiness welled up in her heart. At the same time, a warm current passed over the back of her right hand.
Hua Hua Changxi looked down at the back of her hand, but there was nothing there, and that warm current disappeared very quickly.
Hua Hua Changxi was somewhat puzzled. At this time, An Ran and An Ze had finished their oaths.
'Boom~'
The stone door opened, revealing the transmission platform inside.
Seeing this, Hua Hua Changxi said to An Ran and An Ze: "Go in. Place your hands on that red stone, and you will be able to receive the technique."
"After receiving the technique, first disperse your original cultivation and change to practicing the 'Zhu Que Divine Art'. Once you re-enter the Qi Refining Realm, I will come to take you back to Mount Mount Wuzhi."
Subsequently, Hua Hua Changxi watched An Ran and An Ze walk onto the transmission platform, watched them receive the technique, and watched the two disperse their cultivation and throw themselves into practice again.
During this period, she stayed with them in the transmission plaza. Since she no longer had to attend classes at the Medical Department, she simply stayed here to refine pills while observing the situation of the two.
In the blink of an eye, the time reached the first day of the seventh lunar month.
An Ran and An Ze, who had cultivation experience, dispersed their cultivation and practiced in the underground plaza rich in fire spiritual energy for ten days, and their cultivation reached the early stage of Qi Refining.
"Fairy, practicing the 'Zhu Que Divine Art', the cultivation speed is really several times faster than before."
An Ran and An Ze were both extremely shocked by the cultivation speed of the 'Zhu Que Divine Art'.
Hua Hua Changxi smiled: "I told you, this is the top-tier Fire-type cultivation technique in the Four Spirits Realm."
During these ten days, she had been refining pills and had also improved the quality of the second-grade pills she refined to the supreme grade.
