Chapter 221: Lingjing Pavilion
Hua Changxi left without looking back, leaving behind a group of embarrassed people.
Because of her interference, not only did Xia Zhen's plan fall through, but he also lost face in public. If it weren't for his years of cultivation, he almost couldn't help but take action to teach Hua Changxi a lesson.
Gu Xing also had a headache because of Hua Changxi's self-willed behavior. Looking at the cold-eyed Xia Zhen, he sighed in his heart: "Fellow Daoist Xia, the Hua girl has such a temper. Even when she sees me on weekdays, she never has a good attitude."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhen put away his coldness and smiled: "Prodigies, after all, all have some temper. As guardians of the Sacred Ground, you and I naturally have to be more accommodating." As he spoke, he looked at the other secret realm masters.
"Little Friend Hua has a proud personality and her own ideas, and is unwilling to discuss with everyone. What about you all?"
Gu Xing frowned when he saw Xia Zhen define Hua Changxi like this, but he also felt that Hua Changxi's personality was indeed too self-centered.
People always have to experience things before they know how to restrain their sharpness.
That girl should learn how to be a person.
Seeing that Gu Xing did not speak for Hua Changxi, everyone else felt it had nothing to do with them, and Xia Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Also, people like Hua Changxi who don't follow the rules are trouble and threats to the power-holding aristocratic families, and no one would really be willing to get close to her.
Dongfang Hao looked at the silent Mu Qingying and the others and said with a smile: "Managing and operating a secret realm is not an easy task. We have just arrived at the Medicine Department and don't understand anything, so we have to rely on you all for guidance. Fellow Daoists, please don't be stingy with your advice."
Humble words and a sincere posture instantly broke the stagnant atmosphere.
Department Head Gu saw the juniors on the side of the Guardian Families stand up and also gave his disciple Yuan Tianchou a look.
Yuan Tianchou received his master's signal and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Dongfang is too polite. In the future, we will all work for the Sacred Ground together, so we should naturally help each other and promote each other."
With Dongfang Hao and Yuan Tianchou taking the lead, others, under the signaling of Xia Zhen and Department Head Gu, joined the conversation one after another, all joining in the pleasantries.
For a time, the two sides that were originally hostile were all chatting and laughing, and they could no longer be seen as belonging to two camps.
Even Prince Shou put away his dissatisfaction and communicated friendly with Xia Zhen and the middle-aged cultivators he brought.
While chatting and laughing, Xia Zhen looked at Dongfang Hao with satisfaction. This was the excellent prodigy cultivated by a family with good family style, and this was the correct posture for cooperation and communication. Where was it like Hua Changxi, who was just a rat dropping in a pot of soup causing destruction.
"Since everyone will gather together to communicate and discuss in the future, why don't we establish a department specifically for handling secret realm affairs."
"How about calling it Lingjing Pavilion?"
"Lingjing Pavilion, this name is good, let's call it Lingjing Pavilion."
Under Dongfang Hao's intentional guidance and the intentional cooperation of others, the Medicine Department added a Lingjing Pavilion, located in the first medicine hall on the left of the Ninth Street near the Pilgrimage Road.
Gu Xing did not oppose it either. The Sacred Ground had not yet reappeared, and it was indeed necessary to have an office to coordinate and harmonize the development direction of the Sacred Ground.
After the Lingjing Pavilion was determined, Gu Xing did not stay any longer and returned to the old courtyard of the square.
Once he left, Prince Shou invited Xia Zhen and the others to attend the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace.
Xia Zhen did not refuse. They would stay in the capital for a long time in the future, and if they wanted to gain a foothold in the capital, they couldn't avoid dealing with the Imperial Family.
At the same time, it was just right to take advantage of the palace banquet to announce their arrival to the power-holding aristocratic families in the capital.
Prince Shou also called others. Six of the people Xia Zhen brought had obtained Divine Tree secret realms, which meant that six people had to give up their hall master positions. These people still needed to be well appeased.
A group of people headed toward the palace in a mighty manner.
Wei Zhenjie and Zhang Tianshi walked side by side, followed by Huo Yunxiao and Wen Lanzhou.
Wei Zhenjie: "Eighteen secret realms, and the people brought by the Xia family only obtained six. This is something I didn't expect." As he spoke, he smiled.
"Those three public secret realms, if it weren't for Hua Changxi's interference, I estimate that with Fellow Daoist Gu's personality, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to stand up and fight for them."
Zhang Tianshi nodded, thinking of the relationship between Hua Changxi and Hua Changxin: "Hua Changxi has offended Senior Xia to death today. She is afraid she will be squeezed out of the Lingjing Pavilion."
Wei Zhenjie laughed: "I think that girl probably doesn't care about entering that Lingjing Pavilion."
Zhang Tianshi: "Being too alone is not good either. For a place like the Pill Saint Hall, just knowing alchemy is not enough."
Wei Zhenjie agreed with this very much: "I hope she can go a little further." After speaking, he changed the subject, "Six people have to give up their hall master positions. Many people will have a bad year this year."
Zhang Tianshi smiled: "Without secret realms, without resource supply, just guarding an empty hall, it doesn't matter if these hall masters don't serve."
Wei Zhenjie: "That's true."
Behind the two, Huo Yunxiao and Wen Lanzhou were also talking.
Huo Yunxiao: "Hua Changxi left too early, otherwise, she could have attended the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace."
Wen Lanzhou looked disapproving: "It's better if she doesn't attend. Otherwise, with her personality, I'm really afraid she would contradict the imperial clan in public." Thinking of that scene was exciting.
Huo Yunxiao thought about that scene and also shuddered: "You are right, Hua Changxi is indeed not suitable for attending the palace banquet."
At the same time, Hua Changxi, who left the square, did not return directly to the Hua family, but first returned to the No. 13 Qihuang Hall.
She wanted to enter the secret realm to explore first!
"Hall Master!"
The matter of the Divine Tree secret realm had now spread throughout the Medicine Department. Seeing Hua Changxi return, the eight medicine boys, including Pharmacist Xu, looked at her with increasing enthusiasm.
Previously, following Hua Changxi was mainly to find out the secrets of the Qihuang Hall and learn some alchemy techniques along the way.
But now, Hua Changxi, who had the Divine Tree secret realm, held real cultivation resources in her hands. If she leaked a little to them, their cultivation path would be much easier.
Previously, following the hands-off manager Hua Changxi, the eight of them were somewhat unhappy, but now, even if they were left on the bench, they would not want to leave Hua Changxi.
Hua Changxi nodded to Pharmacist Xu and the others and went straight into the east room alchemy room, which only she could enter.
After entering the alchemy room and setting up restrictions, Hua Changxi closed her eyes, her consciousness entered her dantian, looking at the eight-veined Divine Tree leaf floating in her dantian, thinking "enter" in her mind. In an instant, her body disappeared from the alchemy room.
The next moment, she appeared in a boundless field of spiritual medicine with rich wood spiritual energy and bursts of medicinal fragrance.
"Hiss~"
Hua Changxi gasped. The land was vast, and everything she could see was all kinds of first-grade spiritual medicine. Even though she was rich in Mount Wuzhi, she was shocked by the countless first-grade spiritual medicines in front of her.
The spiritual medicine field was flat, giving Hua Changxi the illusion of having arrived at a grassland.
"How big is this secret realm?"
As soon as this thought arose, a green pyramid-shaped three-dimensional image appeared in Hua Changxi's mind.
Her secret realm was not single-layered, but had eight layers.
The bottom layer, which was the layer she was standing on now, had 100 million mu of medicine fields, as well as countless fruit mountains, all planted with first-grade spiritual medicine, spiritual fruit, and spiritual plants.
Because the first-grade spiritual medicine, spiritual plants, and spiritual fruits were not very old, and no one managed them, they basically rotted on the ground when they matured, and because the roots were still there, or the seeds sprouted, they grew again, repeating the cycle.
The spiritual medicine field Hua Changxi was in at this moment had both vigorously growing spiritual medicine and spiritual plants, as well as rotting and spoiled spiritual medicine and spiritual plants.
Looking at the spoiled spiritual medicine, Hua Changxi felt a bit heartbroken. She set up the somersault cloud to explore the first layer at the fastest speed, then drove the cloud up and headed straight for the second layer.
The second layer had 50 million mu of medicine fields, all planted with second-grade spiritual medicine, spiritual plants, and spiritual fruits. The growth situation of the medicinal materials was about the same as the first layer.
The third layer had 10 million mu of spiritual medicine fields, all planted with third-grade spiritual medicine, spiritual plants, and spiritual fruits. Because third-grade medicinal materials were older, the situation of rotting and spoiling was reduced somewhat.
The fourth layer had 5 million mu of spiritual medicine fields, all planted with fourth-grade spiritual medicine, spiritual plants, and spiritual fruits. The situation of medicinal materials rotting was reduced even more.
The fifth layer had 1 million mu of spiritual medicine fields. As soon as she went up, Hua Changxi sensed the pure soul power in the air. Everything she could see was soul plants and soul fruits that increased spiritual sense and soul power, and she could hardly see any rotting or spoiled ones.
On the fifth layer of the secret realm, Hua Changxi found that her movements were restricted. She could not hover, there was a suppression force in the air, and as she walked toward the center, she felt her head swell and dizzy.
Each layer of the secret realm corresponded to the corresponding realm. The fifth layer corresponded to the Spirit Platform stage. She was still a Spirit Infant stage cultivator and could not bear the suppression force above, so she quickly went down to the fourth layer. ===== CHAPTER 222 =====
