Chapter 243

Whenever Hua Hua Changxi gave a lecture, she would pay attention to the reactions of the listeners at all times. Seeing many cultivators burying their heads in writing, she immediately said: "Everyone, listen carefully."

"I have specifically sent people to be responsible for recording the spiritual herbs discussed today. If you need them, you can go to the No. 13 Qihuang Pavilion for free rubbings after the lecture ends."

"Not only the first-grade spiritual plants discussed today, but in the future, I will also compile a 'Compendium of Spiritual Plants,' which will also be published at that time."

Once these words were spoken, the vast majority of the listeners in the plaza were excited beyond measure.

At the current stage, most inheritances are controlled by dignitaries, and ordinary cultivators who want to cultivate or learn a craft of immortality can only choose to join a certain force.

It can be said that many people fall into a passive position as soon as they step onto the path of cultivation.

Pavilion Master Hua had previously compiled a "Compendium of Ordinary Plants" and published it without reservation. Now, not only does every major pharmacy and medicine hall have a copy, but even some martial artists who don't understand medicine will buy a copy to treasure at home.

In the past, the pills, medicinal soups, and medicinal baths required by martial artists for training could only be purchased from pharmacies and medicine halls. After having the "Compendium of Ordinary Plants," because the medicinal properties of the ordinary plants recorded inside were too detailed, some simple medicinal soups for martial arts training could be prepared by the martial artists themselves after practicing for a long time.

Now that Pavilion Master Hua is going to compile a "Compendium of Spiritual Plants," this is a good thing for all cultivators.

As long as one learns to identify spiritual herbs, even if one cannot become an alchemist, one can collect them to exchange for other cultivation resources when encountering spiritual herbs in the future.

Compared to the excited ordinary cultivators, the expressions of the dignitaries were varied.

Gu Xing showed gratification; among the eighteen secret realm masters, only Hua Hua Changxi is truly standing from the perspective of the Pill Saint Hall to promote medical skills and pill Dao.

Department Head Gu looked impressed; he also held several pill refining inheritances in his hands, which he had always treasured like precious items, and would not easily show them to outsiders except for a few direct disciples.

He truly could not bring himself to take out the inheritances in his hands so easily.

Prince Shou's brows were knotted; this Hua Hua Changxi is really good at causing trouble. If other people who obtained inheritances were like her, sharing the inheritances for free, resulting in the cultivators below having techniques to learn and skills to make a living, then what advantage would the royal family have in the future to absorb cultivators for their own use?

The cultivators from the Dao-protecting families were very silent.

For no other reason than that the Dao-protectors exist precisely to ensure that the Dao lineage of the Four Spirit Realms is not broken; they are the people who should be the most selfless in publishing various inheritances and promoting the development of cultivation.

It is just that due to limited resources, Dao-protecting families generally only select people with outstanding talent for cultivation and have no time to take care of ordinary people.

Hua Hua Changxi's 'generous' behavior and such care for ordinary people is undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Dao-protecting families.

On the other side, Gu Gu Jinfan's expression was also quite complex; she felt more and more that Hua Hua Changxi was even more of a variable than she herself was.

The opening of the public Divine Tree secret realm and the publication of the Compendium of Spiritual Plants will directly promote the revival of the Pill Saint Hall, and the influence will be far-reaching.

Compared to Hua Hua Changxi, she really hadn't done anything to promote the development of the Four Spirit Realms.

"Everyone, be quiet, let's continue the lecture."

As soon as Hua Hua Changxi's words fell, the originally restless plaza became quiet in an instant.

If many people came to the plaza before just to learn more about pharmacology and pill Dao, they didn't have much of an impression of Hua Hua Changxi as a person.

But at this moment, because Hua Hua Changxi allowed people to make free rubbings of the spiritual herb records, the vast majority of people had more respect for her in their hearts.

Before, everyone only had a desire for learning in their eyes; now, Hua Hua Changxi as a person had also 'entered' the eyes of the crowd.

Another spiritual herb was moved by Hua Hua Changxi to the space above the stone cauldron.

Hua Hua Changxi sat with her back to the stone cauldron and did not notice that when the spiritual herb was suspended above the stone cauldron, a faint ripple appeared in the air.

Because Gu Xing sat in the front and his own destiny was tied to the Pill Saint Hall, he was the first to discover the abnormal movement of the stone cauldron, which made his heart shake suddenly.

For the rest of the time, Gu Xing had no time to listen to the lecture; he stared at the stone cauldron without blinking, and feeling the ripples appearing above the stone cauldron, he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

Following the Qihuang Pavilion, another important place of the Pill Saint Hall showed signs of revival!

Hua Hua Changxi's explanation of spiritual herb identification started from the most basic and common ones.

Those who had inheritances in pill refining or medicine were already familiar with these, so when listening to Hua Hua Changxi's lecture, they felt that what she was saying was very boring and didn't want to waste time sitting there like this.

For a time, there were many whispers and small conversations in the plaza.

Among them, the disciples of the Dao-protecting families who felt they had been slapped in the face by Hua Hua Changxi were the worst, chatting heatedly with Meng Meng Yuchuan, who felt that Hua Hua Changxi had stolen the limelight from his sister.

At first, these people were careful to control their volume, but gradually, their voices grew louder and louder, seriously affecting the people around them who were listening.

Given the status of Meng Meng Yuchuan and the others, the people around them dared to be angry but dared not speak.

Just when everyone thought they would have to endure the lecture like this, an irresistible spiritual force swept over and threw Meng Meng Yuchuan and his group, who were talking, directly out of the plaza.

Not only Meng Meng Yuchuan and the others, but also other people who were talking.

There were aristocratic family disciples like Tang Tang Yufeng, and people from the Heaven Department like Huo Huo Yunxiao...

Those thrown out of the plaza who reacted quickly stabilized their bodies and landed safely, at least not losing face in front of others.

Those who couldn't react in time fell directly to the ground, looking disheveled.

Uh...

The plaza fell into a dead silence.

Those who were thrown out were too stunned to recover, and those still sitting in the plaza were also in shock.

Outside the plaza, Huo Huo Yunxiao, who had almost fallen flat on his face in front of others, was now a bit disheveled in the wind, his heart shocked beyond measure. He was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, yet he had been thrown out by Hua Hua Changxi without any power to resist.

Meng Meng Yuchuan and the others were even more shocked than Huo Huo Yunxiao. The lowest cultivation among them was a Golden Core cultivator, and there was even Dongfang Xu, who was in the early stage of Nascent Soul; they had just been... packed up and thrown out!

Most of the people sitting in the plaza: Pavilion Master Hua is really fierce; she throws away aristocratic disciples just like that. However, it was a good throw!

The other dignitaries sitting there, at this moment, had uniformly serious and solemn expressions: Hua Hua Changxi's strength is much higher than they imagined!

"Between people, if you respect me by a foot, I will return it by ten feet."

"If you don't want to listen to the lecture, you don't have to come; if you come, you should respect each other."

"Coming to me for a lecture, you don't have to understand medicine or pill Dao, but at the very least, you must be a person, and you must understand the most basic etiquette."

"Those who were thrown out by me today are not allowed to come to my lectures from now on."

Hua Hua Changxi's resonant and uncompromising voice rang out in the plaza.

Gu Xing heard it and was full of helplessness: Very good, she is very good at attracting hatred!

Department Head Gu: The methods are too extreme. Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't take Hua Hua Changxi as a disciple back then. This guy's combat power is too fierce; being her master, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Gu Gu Jinfan: Is Hua Hua Changxi really a variable? With her temperament, can she really go far?

Meng Meng Qingyao: Being so arrogant, isn't she afraid of provoking public anger?

The shock in Dongfang Hao's heart was the greatest; he actually saw a kind of kingly aura that looked down on the world from Hua Hua Changxi's overbearing words and actions.

Having thrown out the people who were talking, Hua Hua Changxi continued to lecture in an orderly manner.

"Spiritual herbs are the foundation of pill refining, and identifying spiritual herbs is the first step in pill refining."

"If your understanding of spiritual herbs is insufficient, the subsequent processing, decomposition, and even drug fusion will all be improper."

"I know some people think they have a thorough understanding of spiritual herbs, but unfortunately, what I see is that the Medical Department, as the highest medical guidance office in Great Jin, currently processes nearly 90% of spiritual herbs improperly."

"In the first street of Nine Streets, with the assistance of pill fire, logically speaking, the quality of pills refined by a first-grade alchemist should not be too low, but what about the facts? The vast majority of alchemists can only refine low-grade pills."

"The most fundamental reason why the quality of pills cannot be raised is that the spiritual herbs are not processed properly!"

"Every step of pill refining is crucial; there is no step that can be treated carelessly. If the understanding of the medicinal properties of spiritual herbs is insufficient, the subsequent processing process will naturally have errors."

Listening to Hua Hua Changxi's words, many people, including Mu Mu Qingying, showed expressions of sudden realization.

"I know some people have abundant cultivation resources and, regardless of the quality of the spiritual herbs themselves, use some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to assist in pill refining to improve the quality of the pills."

"What I want to say is that this method is just a minor path."

"Pill refining is by no means just about technology; the professional ethics of an alchemist are also crucial."

"Even if some people have abundant resources, it is impossible to guarantee forever that every kind of pill refined can find corresponding heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Ultimately, one must return to the foundation of pill refining to solve the problem."

When Hua Hua Changxi said this, she glanced at Meng Meng Qingyao.

The top-grade spiritual pills that Meng Meng Qingyao refined when she gave a lecture before were because she used ten-thousand-year spiritual milk.

Meng Meng Qingyao was shocked to the soul by the look; she had long been accustomed to using all kinds of good things to refine pills and had never thought about this problem before.

Now that it was pointed out by Hua Hua Changxi, she was both shocked and embarrassed.

Is she, this pill refining genius, actually piled up by heavenly materials and earthly treasures?!

Excluding those with distracted minds, the subsequent lecture was unprecedentedly quiet in the plaza, and it seemed that only Hua Hua Changxi's voice remained between heaven and earth.

Hua Hua Changxi lectured with focus, and the people in the plaza listened with focus.

As one spiritual herb after another flew over the stone cauldron, an invisible Dao rhyme rippled out from the stone cauldron, stirring up ripples in the air.

For a time, Hua Hua Changxi, who was lecturing, and the crowd, who were listening, seemed to have entered a mysterious state.

When Meng Meng Yuchuan and the others, who had been thrown out of the plaza, called Xia Zhen over, they saw that everyone in the plaza had an infatuated and immersed expression.

Xia Zhen's heart shook, and he quickly looked towards Hua Hua Changxi. At this look, his pupils shook.

Hua Hua Changxi sat in the middle, and the crowd spread out in order with her as the center; she lectured without distraction, and the listeners also listened without distraction. This picture was like a scene of preaching.

Dao?

Hua Hua Changxi only talked about some first-grade spiritual herbs; how could it be called Dao?

Xia Zhen originally came to seek justice for Meng Meng Yuchuan and the others, but at this moment, he did nothing and just listened quietly to Hua Hua Changxi's lecture.

It was not until the last spiritual herb was finished that everyone recovered from the mystery.

"Today's lecture is over."

As soon as Hua Hua Changxi's voice fell, a white-haired old man stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Pavilion Master Hua, for the lecture."

His words seemed to pull a switch, and the people in the plaza stood up one after another, saying in unison: "Thank you, Pavilion Master Hua, for the lecture."

The sound wave swept over the plaza and interacted with the ripples induced by the stone cauldron.

The next moment, spiritual light lit up under the stone cauldron.

The spiritual light appeared suddenly and quickly outlined a square array; before Hua Hua Changxi could see the array clearly, the ground began to shake, accompanied by a roaring sound.
