Chapter 237

Regarding the decision to choose the Spirit Realm Pavilion Master by drawing lots, and that every secret realm master has the opportunity to serve, except for Long Chenyi, everyone else was very satisfied.

The first pavilion master of the Spirit Realm Pavilion was Meng Qingyao, who drew the number one stick.

"Qingyao, from now on, you are the pavilion master of the Spirit Realm Pavilion. As the first pavilion master, you must set a good leading example."

Xia Zhen smiled and looked at Meng Qingyao, signaling her to sit in the main seat.

Under everyone's gaze, Meng Qingyao steadied her mind, stepped forward calmly, and looked at the secret realm masters.

"Everyone, Qingyao is lucky enough to serve as the first pavilion master. If there is anything done improperly in the future, I hope everyone will correct and tolerate it."

"Now that the sacred land is silent, since we have obtained the recognition and blessing of the Divine Wood, we should naturally work together to strive for the early reappearance of the sacred land."

The secret realm masters were very supportive and expressed their support one after another.

Zhang Tianshi looked at Xia Zhen, knowing that Meng Qingyao and the Xia family were on the same side, so he smiled and asked: "Pavilion Master, we naturally hope for the early reappearance of the sacred land, but we have always been at a loss as to how. Do you have any specific ideas?"

The ruins of the Five Great Sacred Lands are all in the capital. In order to obtain the legacy of the sacred land and become the master of the sacred land, the imperial family and the powerful and wealthy have all shown their own magical powers.

Unfortunately, after hundreds of years of investigation, let alone reappearing the sacred land, they haven't even touched a bit of the sacred land's legacy.

As guardian families, perhaps the Xia, Bai, Wu, Zhu, and Long families have a way to reappear the sacred land?

Meng Qingyao shook her head. The guardian families also don't know the way to reappear the sacred land. If they knew, the five great guardian families would have appeared long ago and controlled the five great sacred lands.

"From ancient times to the present, too much time has passed. To reappear the sacred land, we still need to explore together."

"However, the Pill Sacred Hall shoulders the responsibility of spreading medicine and the Dao of Pills. I think as long as we work in this direction, we will definitely be able to activate the sacred land to a certain extent."

"Just like the Qihuang Pavilion, the Qihuang Pavilion must be a place for teaching. The top priority for us secret realm masters is to teach more in the Qihuang Pavilion."

Xia Zhen took over the conversation: "That's right. Prince Shou's side has already decided that starting from the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, all eighteen Qihuang Pavilions will start taking turns to teach."

Of the eighteen Qihuang Pavilions, only Wei Zhenjie, Minister of the Heaven Department, Gu Qiming, Head of the Medicine Department, and Gu Jinfan of the Xin State Duke's Prefecture did not obtain secret realms; the others are all secret realm masters.

The secret realm masters did not oppose teaching in the Qihuang Pavilion.

After all, they obtained the Divine Wood Secret Realm and must definitely do some practical things for the sacred land.

Xia Zhen looked at Meng Qingyao: "Qingyao, you continue."

Meng Qingyao: "In addition to teaching in the Qihuang Pavilion, I suggest that we take out a portion of the spiritual medicine from our respective secret realms every year to cultivate alchemists."

The output of the secret realms involves the vital interests of the secret realm masters, so everyone immediately began to discuss it.

Seeing Gu Xing remained silent throughout. He knew that this proposal would definitely be passed.

The appearance of people from the guardian families in the Medicine Department actually damaged the interests of the imperial family.

Although everyone knows that the Medicine Department is the ruins of the Pill Sacred Hall, the Medicine Department is after all an imperial court department and is still under the control of the imperial family.

In order to appease the imperial family, the guardian families must definitely yield a portion of the secret realm's benefits.

Meng Qingyao's proposal should have been discussed by Xia Zhen and the others long ago.

As for Seeing Seeing Mu Qingying and the others...

The Divine Wood Secret Realm is like a sweet pastry that all parties are eyeing.

Seeing Seeing Mu Qingying and the others have deep ties with the imperial family and the powerful and wealthy in the capital. If they really don't take out any benefits, they will definitely be targeted.

Even if these people are unwilling in their hearts, no one will jump out to oppose it at this time and become a target.

It was indeed as Seeing Gu Xing thought; no one stood up to oppose Meng Qingyao's proposal.

However, everyone had their own ideas about exactly how much of the secret realm's output to take out.

Everyone present knew that the people currently in the Medicine Department were all people of the imperial family and the powerful and wealthy. Whether the output of the secret realm taken out would cultivate people of the sacred land or people of various powerful and wealthy families was really hard to say.

No one is willing to take their own things to strengthen others' momentum, especially when there might be their own opponents among them.

"The secret realms we obtained are all different. It wouldn't be fair for everyone to take out the same output, right?"

"That's right. If you ask me, it's best to determine the amount of spiritual medicine to take out based on the grade of the secret realm."

Everyone had different opinions, and finally, Seeing Gu Xing stood up and made the decision: each secret realm master takes out one-tenth of the output every year.

These outputs are turned in to the Spirit Realm Pavilion uniformly, and the pavilion master is responsible for the distribution.

With this, the first meeting of the Spirit Realm Pavilion ended.

This meeting confirmed Meng Qingyao as the first pavilion master, confirmed that secret realm masters should teach medicine and the Dao of Pills in the Qihuang Pavilion, and decided that every secret realm must take out one-tenth of its output every year to cultivate alchemists for the Medicine Department.

As soon as the meeting ended, Prince Shou's side knew everything.

"Heh, so people from guardian families also play this kind of isolation and exclusion!"

Prince Shou had a sarcastic smile on his face.

Chu Junhao sighed: "On New Year's Eve, Hua Changxi was indeed a bit too disrespectful to Xia Zhen."

Prince Shou smiled: "So, she deserves to be excluded." As he spoke, his smile vanished, "I heard that Huo Yunxiao went to talk to her about cooperation and was rejected by her?"

Chu Junhao nodded: "Yes."

Prince Shou snorted coldly and mocked: "Hua Changxi doesn't think that she can manage a high-grade secret realm by herself, does she?"

Chu Junhao said nothing.

Prince Shou looked at his nephew: "I know you want to be on good terms with Hua Changxi, but don't be too eager. Remember, you are the Emperor's son, a prince; don't disgrace your status."

Chu Junhao: "Junhao will listen to Imperial Uncle's teachings."

Prince Shou added: "Managing a secret realm requires people. Hua Changxi has no one at all. I think she still doesn't understand the situation."

"Since ancient times, those who offer themselves up are looked down upon. Let her jump around for a while first."

"Wait until the other secret realms are on the right track, and see if Hua Changxi is in a hurry."

"At that time, the one who will be setting the conditions won't be her."

Chu Junhao was not very optimistic about this. Judging by the personality Hua Changxi had shown, she didn't look like someone who would beg others.

However, if a person is really pushed to a dead end, bowing their head is the only solution. No matter how proud they are, they can only grind down their own edges.

Prince Shou didn't talk about Hua Changxi anymore, but said with a gloomy face: "Each secret realm only takes out one-tenth of the output. The Xia family really doesn't give the imperial family any face."

Hearing this, Chu Junhao hesitated and said: "Imperial Uncle, one-tenth of the output of one secret realm, eighteen secret realms is eighteen portions of output."

It's not a small amount...

Prince Shou snorted coldly: "What do you know? Is all that output for the imperial family? Don't we still have to share it with other nobles?"

Thinking of the increasingly complex situation, Chu Junhao's expression also became solemn.

At the same time, other forces were also discussing the Spirit Realm Pavilion.

Department Head Gu, through the reconstruction by Seeing Seeing Mu Qingying and Yuan Tianchou, knew all the contents of the meeting.

Regarding other things, Department Head Gu had no reaction. The only thing he found strange was that Seeing Gu Xing didn't speak up for Hua Changxi!

In the old courtyard of the square, someone also asked Seeing Gu Xing this question.

"Uncle Gu, why didn't you help Changxi speak? Didn't you think highly of her?"

Seeing Gu Xing looked at the old woman who spoke. If Hua Changxi were here, she would definitely recognize that the old woman was Sun Pozi, who used to guard the kitchen in the Menial Labor Hall.

"Little Sun, Hua Changxi is too willful."

"Jade must be carved to become a vessel. For someone like her, words cannot change her. Only by letting her stumble in matters will she reflect on her own behavior."

"Most importantly, she rejects power, wanting both the benefits of the sacred land and to stay out of it."

"Without suffering the bitterness of power, she won't know what power is."
