Chapter 240: Pushing the Era (Part 9)
"Pavilion Master Hua, do you have to be so moralistic? I just saw you standing at the door and kindly invited you to sit down. How did that lead you to the conclusion that we are not the same kind of people?"
Huo Huo Yunxiao felt that Hua Hua Changxi was not only hard to get close to but also liked to be unreasonable.
Hua Hua Changxi saw that he was still entangled, so she didn't hold back, "Huo Huo Yunxiao, do you know that your so-called 'kindness' is very arrogant?"
"Being rejected by me, you are very angry. You feel that as the disciple of the Heaven Department Minister, you have lowered your status to intentionally associate with me, so I should be grateful and happily accept."
"If I am not willing, then I am unappreciative and not giving face."
"Your behavior is exactly the same as the Meng family's actions just now."
"You people feel from the bottom of your hearts that you are a cut above me, and as a subordinate, I should unconditionally cooperate with you."
Huo Huo Yunxiao opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but didn't know what to say.
Hua Hua Changxi looked at him, "If you treat people with sincerity, you should know that others also have their own principles and ideas, and there is a possibility of refusing you. When rejected, you should politely retreat, but what are you doing?"
"Doesn't this count as imposing your will on others?"
Huo Huo Yunxiao was silent, looked at Hua Hua Changxi, and returned to the pavilion with an uncomfortable expression.
Seeing Huo Huo Yunxiao return without success and being lectured by Hua Hua Changxi, the expressions of others in the pavilion were a bit strange.
The people who came today gathered representatives of all forces in the capital.
Representatives of the Imperial family, representatives of the nobles, representatives of the families, representatives of the imperial court officials, as well as sect forces like the Zhang Tianshi Mansion, Xiangguo Temple, and Sanqing Palace all had people here.
The reason they attached so much importance to it was that the eighteen pavilion masters of the Qihuang Pavilion could be regarded as the first batch of seed players for the revival of the Pill Sacred Hall to a certain extent.
Hua Hua Changxi...
All parties had long since investigated the situation of this secret realm master who didn't give Xia Zhen face in public.
"It's indeed as investigated... acting as one pleases!"
Many representatives shook their heads in their hearts. In the eyes of these people, even if there was dissatisfaction, it shouldn't be said in public, cutting off the possibility of future cooperation.
Rulers should not wear their emotions on their sleeves.
Prince Shou was also whispering to Chu Chu Junhao beside him, "Little Seven, that Hua Hua Changxi is really hard to deal with."
Chu Chu Junhao smiled, "Imperial Uncle, I don't think so. What Hua Hua Changxi wants is just to be treated with sincerity and to associate on an equal footing."
Prince Shou sneered, as if he had heard some joke, and shook his head with a 'tsk tsk'.
Chu Chu Junhao didn't say anything, just looked at Hua Hua Changxi at the courtyard gate, with different emotions flickering in his eyes.
Just when everyone was commenting on Hua Hua Changxi, Mu Mu Qingying appeared in green clothes.
As soon as she came out, everyone looked over.
Mu Mu Qingying was a bit nervous. This lecture was completely different from the lectures in the Qihuang Pavilion before.
Before, whether the lecture was good or bad didn't need to be too concerned; but now, she represented the Pill Sacred Hall to a certain extent. As a pavilion master of the Pill Sacred Hall's Qihuang Pavilion, whether her lecture was good or bad would be judged by the world.
Especially since the people who came to listen to the lecture before were just people inside the Medical Department, while today, many of the people who came to listen were powerful and influential people in the capital.
These people were knowledgeable and had long known about the spiritual energy recovery, and they knew more about cultivation than she did.
Moreover, the influence of these people's dissemination was huge and could guide the direction of many things.
Thinking of this, Mu Mu Qingying felt immense pressure. After taking a few deep breaths to calm her mood, she began to teach.
She couldn't lose face for her master. For this lecture, she had brought out her best skills and would not give anyone any chance to look down on her.
Mu Mu Qingying taught the process of refining second-grade Golden Condensation Pills and demonstrated it herself.
The Golden Condensation Pill was the most difficult to refine among second-grade pills and was a necessary breakthrough pill for most Qi Sea cultivators to break through bottlenecks and step into the Golden Core stage.
When Hua Hua Changxi saw the medicinal materials Mu Mu Qingying used to refine the Golden Condensation Pill, and that several of them were not processed properly, she knew that she would definitely not be able to refine top-grade Golden Condensation Pills.
However, Mu Mu Qingying's alchemy techniques and processes were still very smooth, and her explanations were relatively easy to understand, which still made many people present nod repeatedly.
Under everyone's attention, although Mu Mu Qingying was nervous, she successfully refined the Golden Condensation Pill in one go.
Second-grade top-grade Golden Condensation Pill!
Smelling the rich pill fragrance in the air and looking at the golden Golden Condensation Pill floating above the pill furnace, everyone cast approving glances at Mu Mu Qingying.
"Sure enough, a strict teacher produces a talented student. Department Head Gu, congratulations. Alchemist Mu will definitely be a great alchemist ranked in the Four Spirit Realm in the future."
Other pavilion masters also stepped forward to exchange alchemy insights with Mu Mu Qingying.
Hua Hua Changxi looked at Mu Mu Qingying, who was surrounded by people, didn't step forward, and turned to leave the First Qihuang Pavilion.
Seeing her leave directly, Pharmacist Xu hesitated and stepped forward, "Pavilion Master, shouldn't you go over and greet Pavilion Master Mu?"
Hua Hua Changxi shook her head, "No need."
Pharmacist Xu listened and looked helpless.
What no need? It was very necessary. This was the most basic social etiquette!
On the way back to the 13th Qihuang Pavilion, passing through the square's old courtyard, Hua Hua Changxi thought of the crowded scene in the First Qihuang Pavilion just now, and decided that when it was her turn to teach, she would give the lecture on this square.
People listening to the lecture couldn't just stand there. Thinking of the large number of cushions spread out in the First Qihuang Pavilion after it was unsealed, Hua Hua Changxi immediately sent a message to Jing Le, asking if he had any extra cushions.
Jing Le replied quickly, "How many do you want?"
Hua Hua Changxi estimated the number of people who came to the First Qihuang Pavilion today, "Ten thousand."
This reply was not so timely. It wasn't until Hua Hua Changxi returned to the 13th Qihuang Pavilion with Pharmacist Xu and the others that Jing Le replied, "Okay."
Hua Hua Changxi asked, "When can I go to pick them up?"
Jing Le replied, "Anytime."
After receiving the reply, Hua Hua Changxi told Pharmacist Xu and the others "I'm going out for a while" and left.
Seeing her leave, Pharmacist Xu and the others were all a bit uneasy, fearing that she would disappear like before, not showing up for several months.
Fortunately, this time Hua Hua Changxi returned quickly.
However, after returning, she plunged into the east room and didn't come out again.
Hua Hua Changxi went into the secret realm to collect first-grade spirit herbs. She had already thought about what she would talk about in her lecture.
She would talk about spirit plants!
There was a wide variety of first-grade spirit plants in the secret realm. When she gave the lecture, taking out the corresponding spirit plants could help those listening to the lecture remember them better.
For the next ten days or so, Hua Hua Changxi would go to listen to other pavilion masters' lectures.
The current Qihuang Pavilion pavilion masters were indeed people with some talent and attainments in alchemy and medicine. Even Department Head Gu Gu Qiming and Heaven Department Minister Wei Wei Zhenjie personally gave a lecture.
The two didn't personally demonstrate the alchemy process, but talked about their insights and experiences in alchemy, which had a certain inspiration and guidance for beginners in alchemy.
Other pavilion masters taught how to refine pills.
Everyone's alchemy process was actually much the same, and the reason for the different quality of the final pills was only because everyone's mastery of each step of alchemy was different.
I don't know if they were hiding their clumsiness, but all the pavilion masters talked about how to refine second-grade pills.
Hua Hua Changxi didn't believe that all the pavilion masters couldn't refine third-grade pills, and felt that many pavilion masters were hiding their strength.
After more than ten days of listening to lectures, the most talked-about person was Meng Meng Qingyao.
There was no other reason, just because she refined a batch of top-grade second-grade pills during her lecture.
When a top-grade pill is refined, pill luster will overflow; this luster contains Dao rhyme, and those who were close to Meng Meng Qingyao while listening to the lecture all absorbed some of this Dao rhyme.
Because of this, Meng Meng Qingyao's reputation rose unprecedentedly.
In the current Medical Department, no matter where you go, you can hear people talking about Meng Meng Qingyao.
The twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month was the day Hua Hua Changxi taught.
On the twenty-seventh, after listening to Wu Wu Lingyue's lecture, Hua Hua Changxi asked Pharmacist Xu and the others to post notices outside the 13th Qihuang Pavilion and outside the main gate of the Medical Department, telling everyone that she would give a lecture on the square tomorrow.
"This Hua Hua Changxi, why is she so fond of grandstanding!"
In the 7th Qihuang Pavilion, Meng Meng Yuchuan kept complaining about Hua Hua Changxi to Meng Meng Qingyao and the Dongfang brothers.
"All the pavilion masters are teaching in the Qihuang Pavilion, but she loves to show off and runs to the square to teach."
"What does she want to do, highlight that she is very special?"
Dongfang Hao thought of every time he went to listen to other Qihuang Pavilions' lectures, he would see Hua Hua Changxi standing in the crowded crowd: "... Maybe, she just thinks the square is big enough to accommodate everyone who comes to listen." ===== CHAPTER 241 =====
