Chapter 222: The Hua Family Enters the Game

The secret realm Hua Changxi obtained had eight layers. Although she only explored the first five layers in a cursory manner, it still made her excited.

There was no other reason: the spiritual medicine, spiritual plants, and spiritual fruits in the secret realm were too abundant!

And this was just one secret realm!

Hua Changxi thought of the towering tree she saw. With so many branches and leaves, how many secret realms must there be?

"This is the foundation of the Sacred Ground!"

No wonder the Imperial Family and power-holding aristocratic families fought to the death to snatch the Qihuang Hall.

The status of the Qihuang Hall in the Pill Saint Hall was definitely not low. Occupying the position of hall master meant having a certain amount of power, and one of the manifestations of power was the control over the Sacred Ground's resources.

Just like this time paying respects to the Divine Tree, only the eighteen hall masters were qualified to participate.

"How can so much spiritual medicine be used up!"

Hua Changxi's excited mood had not yet calmed down, and she began to worry.

Too much spiritual medicine is also a trouble.

Especially the first and second layers, she had to harvest a batch quickly, otherwise, many spiritual medicines would rot and spoil, which would really be a waste of resources.

Although she hadn't had much contact with other cultivators, she could guess that the ruins and secret realms that appeared now were all occupied by power-holding aristocratic families, and the bottom-level cultivators certainly had no cultivation resources. If she let the medicine on the first and second layers rot, her conscience would be uneasy.

The first and second layers of the secret realm had 150 million mu of medicine fields. Relying on her alone, she certainly couldn't manage them, so she had to find others.

But as soon as she thought about managing people, she couldn't help but have a headache.

When there are many people, there will be a "Jianghu" (world of martial arts/cultivation), and where there is a Jianghu, there will be "killing." For Hua Changxi, this was trouble.

"Forget it, let's see how other secret realm masters do it first."

Hua Changxi was too lazy to worry and began to carefully patrol the fourth layer of the secret realm.

It was only after the comprehensive recovery of spiritual energy in Mount Wuzhi that various spiritual plants emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, which led to the spiritual plants and spiritual medicine not being very old.

She mainly refined third-grade top-quality spiritual pills, which required a large amount of third-grade spiritual medicine, spiritual plants, and spiritual fruits. Most third-grade spiritual medicines needed ten to a hundred years to grow. Even if many spiritual medicines, spiritual plants, and spiritual fruits matured quickly in the early stage of spiritual energy recovery, Mount Wuzhi was still somewhat unable to keep up with her demand for spiritual medicine.

For refining third-grade spiritual pills, she might not have a shortage of spiritual medicine, but for refining fourth-grade spiritual pills, it was definitely not enough, and it was even harder to collect for refining fifth-grade or higher.

For Hua Changxi, the Divine Tree secret realm came just in time.

After patrolling the fourth layer, she discovered a problem: the wood spiritual energy in the secret realm was very rich, but it was not suitable for her cultivation.

However, wood spiritual energy had the function of nourishing and repairing, so it was suitable for body refining here. In the future, alchemy could also be carried out in the secret realm.

Hua Changxi carefully patrolled the first four layers of the secret realm, and because she had to return to the Hua family for the New Year, she picked some second-grade spiritual essence fruits, jade skin fruits, and yang skin fruits that nourished the body.

She also prepared ten portions of medicinal materials for boiling body-refining medicinal soup for her parents, three older brothers, and grandparents.

Although she now managed an Eighth-Grade Secret Realm and possessed countless spiritual medicines, she did not have the idea of giving more resources to the Hua family.

The resources in the secret realm all belonged to the Pill Saint Hall. She was just a manager. Although she hadn't thought about how to manage the secret realm, the things inside would definitely be used to develop and expand the Sacred Ground.

Hua Changxi left the secret realm. Seeing that the sky was already dark, she prepared to return to the Hua family courtyard.

"Hall Master, Happy New Year!"

Hua Changxi came out of the alchemy room and found that all eight medicine boys, including Pharmacist Xu, were still there.

Although these eight people were not her people, they were the ones who had been responsible for guarding the No. 13 Qihuang Hall during this period. After thinking about it, she took out thirty second-grade spiritual fruits, three for each person.

She gave jade skin fruits to the women and yang skin fruits to the men.

Because Pharmacist Xu was the manager of the hall, he got seven spiritual fruits.

"Happy New Year, go home quickly."

After Hua Changxi left, Hua Shuran and the others looked at Pharmacist Xu with envy. They all had backing behind them and didn't lack a few spiritual fruits, but Pharmacist Xu was obviously more favored by Hua Changxi, which was what they cared about.

Pharmacist Xu carefully put away the spiritual fruits and left with a smile.

"Let's go too."

The New Year of the 24th year of Yongxing was destined to be restless.

The appearance of the Xia family of the Guardian Families at the Pill Saint Hall and the appearance of the Divine Tree secret realm of the Pill Saint Hall spread at lightning speed, causing the capital to be full of wind and clouds.

Hua Shuran and Hua Wanyue also passed the news that Hua Changxi had obtained a high-grade Divine Tree secret realm back home as soon as possible. The Hua Bin family once again became the focus of the Hua clan.

Cultivators, regardless of their talent, are most in need of cultivation resources. Whoever controls cultivation resources can command others.

Not only the Hua clan, but other forces in the capital also paid attention to the inconspicuous Hua family.

Hua family courtyard.

Hua Dalang and Hua Silang, who were cultivating in the Count's Mansion, had received the news that Hua Changxi had obtained the Divine Tree secret realm one after another.

They knew, and everyone else in the Hua family knew.

At this moment, everyone in the Hua family truly understood Hua Changxi's talent in medicine and alchemy.

Hua Dalang took a deep breath: "Only two people obtained high-grade Divine Tree secret realms. One is the female cultivator brought by the Guardian Families, and the other is our family's Jiuniang."

Old Master Hua heard this and was both happy and melancholy. What he was happy about was that his lineage had produced an extraordinary talent, and what he was melancholy about was that this person happened to be the one who was most disobedient to the family's discipline, and she was also a daughter.

If the person were replaced by any grandson in the family, Old Master Hua would have had to look up to the sky and laugh a few times.

Old Madam Hua was very happy. Even though this granddaughter Jiuniang was not close to her, looking at the eldest son's face, she would definitely not treat her and the old man badly.

The medicinal materials for the body-refining medicinal bath were the best proof.

She knew that since Jiuniang cut off the medicinal materials for others in the family, the second and fourth branches had been having a hard time. Don't look at her and the old man's age, but their current cultivation level was not worse than their sons and grandsons.

Old Madam Hua whispered to Old Master Hua several times: "Jiuniang has a stubborn temper and doesn't like preaching. After she comes back, you must manage your mouth well and don't make everyone uncomfortable again."

Old Master Hua felt a blockage in his heart and said angrily: "I, as a grandfather, have to look at my granddaughter's face."

Old Madam Hua rolled her eyes: "If you want to show off your power in front of your grandsons and granddaughters, you have to have the ability. If everyone in the family relied on you to live, you would naturally be able to do whatever you want, but the current situation is that we all have to rely on Jiuniang, so, you should tuck your tail when you should tuck your tail."

"Think about others in the clan. They want to, but they estimate they don't have the chance."

Old Master Hua sighed long and didn't say anything else.

The second uncle of the Hua family was very excited, looking at Hua Minghe and Yao Shi: "Big brother, sister-in-law, Jiuniang obtained a secret realm. She certainly can't manage it alone. She has obtained such a big benefit, no matter what, she has to pull the family members."

Before Hua Minghe and Yao Shi could express their stance, Old Madam Hua scolded the second uncle of the Hua family and said to others in the family: "After Jiuniang comes back later, no one is allowed to mention the secret realm."

Regarding this granddaughter Jiuniang, the old madam considered herself to still know her quite well.

This granddaughter had been disobedient since she was a child. Unlike the eldest son and his wife who doted on her blindly, she had fought with her many times.

This girl's personality was soft and hard to eat, and it was very difficult to handle. However, years of gaming made the old madam know one thing, and that was that she must never force that girl. If you are strong, she will be stronger.

The old man and Jiuniang's several fierce conflicts were because the old man wanted to use his status as an elder to pressure her. The girl wouldn't do it, and then they broke up directly.

The second uncle of the Hua family heard Old Madam Hua say this and was suddenly anxious. He still wanted to fight for it, but was pulled by the second aunt of the Hua family.

"Listen to mother."

The second aunt of the Hua family was the niece of Old Madam Hua's maiden family and was the one who knew the old madam best among the three daughters-in-law. She knew that the old madam would not ignore the second and fourth branches, so she said this, and she must have her intentions.

The fourth uncle and fourth aunt of the Hua family were as quiet as ever. However, because of the relationship between Hua Wuniang and her grandson, the Wu Yi Marquis Mansion sent many things to them, so the life of the fourth branch was better than that of the second branch.

When the sky was about to darken, Hua Changxi finally returned to the Hua family courtyard.

"Jiuniang is back!" ===== CHAPTER 223 =====
