Chapter 207: Immortal Tree Ganmu

Hua Changxi was completely indifferent to the people from the Guardian family coming to snatch the control of the Medicine Department from the imperial family. However, now that she knew the Guardian family was aiming at the Huang-Yellow Pavilion, she couldn't ignore it.

The wooden tablet was the key to unlocking the Huang-Yellow Pavilion. She had ten of the eighteen wooden tablets, and the other eight had their own owners. She was very curious about how the people from the Guardian family would snatch the Huang-Yellow Pavilion.

Prince Shou saw that the white-haired old man wanted to get involved in the Huang-Yellow Pavilion. Not daring to tear his face with the people from the Guardian family, he could only say to Chu Junhao, who was standing behind him: "Junhao, you take the pavilion masters forward to pay respects to Senior Xia."

Hearing the order, Chu Junhao stood out and bowed to the white-haired old man: "Chu Junhao, master of the fourteenth Huang-Yellow Pavilion, pays respects to Senior Xia." Then, he clasped his fists to the people on the right side, "Greetings, fellow daoists."

Like the group of cultivators brought by the Xia family, he didn't report his family background either.

The white-haired old man looked at Chu Junhao with a smile and nodded.

Next, the pavilion masters stood up one by one in the order of the Huang-Yellow Pavilion to pay respects.

"Mu Qingying, master of the first pavilion, pays respects to Senior Xia, greetings to fellow daoists."

"Xie An, master of the second pavilion..."

"Huo Yunxiao, master of the third pavilion..."

?

"Hua Changxi, master of the thirteenth pavilion..."

Hua Changxi followed behind the other pavilion masters, reported her name in the same way, and then stood behind Huo Yunxiao again.

"Duan Yuyan, master of the fifteenth pavilion..."

?

"Wei Xiao, master of the eighteenth pavilion..."

For these eighteen Huang-Yellow Pavilion masters, the white-haired old man and the cultivators he brought were extremely serious in their scrutiny, without any slight.

The capital was a place where power gathered. Those who could stand out in the vortex of power would definitely not be incompetent people.

Although they had obtained detailed information about the eighteen pavilion masters before coming to the Medicine Department, information was dead, and people were alive. A few pages of information could not fully summarize a person, and some information was inaccurate and incomplete.

Xia Zhen, the white-haired old man, was the sixteenth elder of the Xia family of the Guardian family in the Central Continent. He had long opened his spiritual platform and was a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator who could freely release his divine sense for investigation. It could be said that everyone in the meeting hall could not escape his investigation, unless that person wore a magic treasure that isolated divine sense investigation.

The magic treasure needed to resist the divine sense investigation of a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator and the investigation of the Nine Nether Ghost Messengers were completely different. The grade of the magic treasure needed to be at least fifth grade or higher to resist the divine sense investigation of a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator.

On the Medicine Department side, only Prince Shou could take out a magic treasure of such a grade. Even Department Head Gu didn't have one, let alone others.

Xia Zhen's divine sense swept over, and he saw through everyone's bottom line. However, there were accidents in everything. What surprised him was that he could not detect the depth of Hua Changxi, the master of the thirteenth Huang-Yellow Pavilion.

When his divine sense swept over, the girl even glared at him with dissatisfaction. Although she quickly withdrew her gaze, she was still captured by him.

Interesting, this girl could actually discover his divine sense investigation. Was it innate sensitivity, or had she already cultivated divine sense?

Xia Zhen recalled the information of the eighteen pavilion masters. If he remembered correctly, Hua Changxi was one of the two who had no status or backing. Whether it was a magic treasure above the fifth grade or a cultivation technique for divine sense, they were not easy to obtain. Without family support, how did she obtain them?

Initially, Xia Zhen ranked the importance of the eighteen pavilion masters according to the forces behind them. But now, Hua Changxi's ranking had risen sharply to the top few.

People who could grow up without family support were the most not to be underestimated. Such people had many opportunities and talents that noble children envied.

This girl even dared to glare at him, and her courage was not small!

Xia Zhen withdrew his attention to Hua Changxi and smiled at Prince Shou: "The Medicine Department is full of talents, which shows that the medical path in the Central Continent is prosperous. I am very gratified." As he said this, he looked at the pavilion masters again, "By the way, which pavilion masters obtained the wooden tablet?"

As soon as this was said, the nine pavilion masters who obtained the pavilion master position by relying on their status and background had unnatural expressions, and Prince Shou's brows knotted.

Hearing Xia Zhen ask about the wooden tablet, Department Head Gu's tense mood suddenly relaxed. Yes, how could he forget that even if the people from the Guardian family wanted to snatch the Huang-Yellow Pavilion, those who had the wooden tablet were not afraid of being snatched. If they wanted to snatch, they would snatch from the imperial family and the nobles.

Thinking of this, Department Head Gu smiled at Xia Zhen: "Senior Xia, the junior is incompetent and luckily obtained a wooden tablet." As he said this, he pointed to Mu Qingying and Yuan Tianchou standing behind him, "These two disciples of mine also each obtained a wooden tablet."

Seeing that the master and his two disciples had all obtained wooden tablets, Xia Zhen smiled: "Department Head Gu has managed the Medicine Department for these years and has worked hard." As he said this, he looked at the other pavilion masters, "Which other pavilion masters obtained the wooden tablet?"

Wen Lanzhou, master of the fourth pavilion, bowed to Xia Zhen: "Senior Xia, the junior's master, Zhang Tianshi, luckily obtained one."

Gu Jinfan, master of the tenth pavilion, followed suit: "Senior Xia, the junior luckily obtained one."

Then it was Shen Qianfan, master of the eleventh pavilion: "Senior Xia, the junior luckily obtained one."

Then it was Zhu Qinghuan, master of the twelfth pavilion: "Senior Xia, the junior luckily obtained one."

Huo Yunxiao, master of the third pavilion, stood up because he was sitting: "Senior Xia, the junior's master, the Minister of the Tian Department, luckily obtained one."

After he finished speaking, Hua Changxi, like the others, reported: "Senior Xia, I also obtained a wooden tablet."

Xia Zhen looked at Hua Changxi. From the fact that she dared to whisper in public from the beginning, he could see that this person was somewhat arrogant. Such people liked to highlight their specialness and difference in speech and action. Therefore, for Hua Changxi saying she also obtained a wooden tablet instead of obtaining a wooden tablet, he directly took it as her highlighting herself and didn't think deeply at all.

Others were the same and didn't take it seriously.

Xia Zhen saw that no one stood up, looked at Prince Shou and Department Head Gu, and confirmed again: "Only nine people obtained the wooden tablet?"

Prince Shou and Department Head Gu nodded.

Xia Zhen frowned: "Eighteen Huang-Yellow Pavilions, eighteen wooden tablets. Who obtained the remaining nine wooden tablets? Haven't you found out?"

Department Head Gu shook his head: "The junior's strength is limited, and I really can't find out. Now that the senior has come, perhaps there will be discoveries."

Xia Zhen didn't take this. It was true that the Xia family was a Guardian family and knew many things that others didn't know, but they knew little about the internal affairs of the five great holy lands. If they knew everything, they would have arranged for family members to come and take over the holy land.

Seeing Xia Zhen silent, Prince Shou smiled and opened his mouth: "Senior Xia, today is New Year's Eve in the world. The palace has prepared a New Year's Eve banquet. I wonder if Senior and other fellow daoists would like to attend?"

Xia Zhen shook his head: "The New Year's Eve banquet is fine. Coming to the Medicine Department today, I am here with a mission from the Guardian family."

After saying this, Xia Zhen stood up and tidied his clothes.

Seeing him like this, everyone was somewhat confused, but those who were sitting followed and stood up, even Prince Shou was the same.

Xia Zhen tidied his clothes and hat, then raised his hands and spread them upward. The next moment, a bronze tripod the size of a basketball appeared in his hand.

Carefully placing the bronze tripod on the table, Xia Zhen took out eighteen green incense sticks, one meter long, three fists wide, six two fingers wide, and nine small fingers wide.

Prince Shou looked at the bronze tripod and the green incense: "Senior Xia, this is?"

Xia Zhen pointed to the bronze tripod: "This is the alchemy tripod used to worship the sacred tree in the Dan Saint Hall." As he said this, he pointed to the green incense, "This is the alchemy incense guarded by the Xia family for generations."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised.

"Worship the sacred tree?"

"Alchemy incense?"

Everyone didn't know what Xia Zhen was going to do with these two things, and their faces were full of confusion. Hua Changxi asked directly: "Senior Xia, are you going to take us to worship the sacred tree? What is the sacred tree of the Dan Saint Hall?"

Xia Zhen looked at her and then at the others: "The sacred tree guarded by the Dan Saint Hall is the Immortal Tree Ganmu." ===== CHAPTER 208 =====
