Chapter 280: Anomalies in Nanxiang County

After parting ways with Tong Yao, Jing Le, and Yan Zhenzhen, Hua Changxi returned directly to Danyuan Peak.

The matter of insufficient tempering could not be solved in a short time. Before getting the display spiritual artifacts, she could only focus on the present for the time being.

With her cultivation stagnant, Hua Changxi paused her cultivation and used her evening time for body refining and improving her alchemy grade.

In terms of body refining, she had already refined to the fourth chapter of the "Nine Turns Profound Art," the Tendon Refining Chapter.

Coincidentally, all the spiritual herbs for the medicinal baths for the Tendon Refining Chapter could be found on the fourth level of the Danyuan Secret Realm.

After soaking in the agonizing medicinal bath, a powerful force suddenly surged in her body. To absorb and refine this force, Hua Changxi had to quickly teleport back to Lingguang Hall, summon the Fuguang Sword, and start practicing sword techniques.

Ever since she subdued the Great Sun Divine Flame in Tang Gu, her connection with the Fuguang Sword had become even closer, and practicing the Fuguang Sword Art had become much smoother.

Body refining, besides soaking in medicinal baths, also required constant polishing of the body.

Only under extremely harsh external pressure could the body's potential be best stimulated and released.

Hua Changxi discovered that practicing the Fuguang Sword was very suitable for polishing the body.

Every time she practiced the Fuguang Sword Art, it would mobilize the Great Sun Divine Flame within the sword. The might of the Divine Flame was naturally an unbearable weight for a Nascent Soul cultivator.

As the sword art operated, the might of the Great Sun Divine Flame coursed through her whole body, which could serve as a very good body refining effect.

In this way, while Hua Changxi was practicing sword techniques, her physical body was also gradually becoming stronger.

In the seventh month, for a whole month, Hua Changxi taught the planting of first-grade spiritual herbs at the No. 3 Qihuang Hall every day. After entering the eighth month, this course ended.

"Hall Master Hua, I wonder when you will be teaching at the No. 4 Hall?"

"Also, what courses will you be teaching at the No. 4 Hall? So we can prepare in advance."

Everyone who had attended the lectures at the No. 3 Qihuang Hall in the seventh month had gained a lot, especially ordinary cultivators who had not received any inheritance.

Many people expressed that after listening to the lectures, if they were provided with spiritual fields and medicinal fields, they would be able to start planting spiritual plants and spiritual herbs.

Just like the current Danyuan Peak, the originally barren open spaces had now been reclaimed by apprentices who had listened to the "Complete Guide to First-Grade Spiritual Herb Planting" and planted with spiritual plants and spiritual herbs.

For the apprentices of Danyuan Peak, they could not only freely choose their cave dwellings but also reclaim five acres of spiritual fields, with all output belonging to themselves. The entire Medical Department, including people from Shenhe Peak, Qingyao Peak, and Xuanhuang Peak, were very envious.

But envy was envy. To let people from the Medical Department defy the orders of the royal family or the powerful figures behind them and choose to join Danyuan Peak, most people still didn't dare.

Mainly, it was the inertia of fearing the powerful.

Even though spiritual energy had now recovered and these people had become cultivators and gained powerful combat strength, their thinking was still trapped in the past, still following the old set of behavioral guidelines.

"When I teach again, I will inform everyone in advance."

Hua Changxi only gave a vague answer. Her teaching was mainly based on the needs of developing the Danyuan Secret Realm and Danyuan Peak.

Currently, the southeast area of the first level of the Danyuan Secret Realm had completed the process of harvesting -> processing -> planting of spiritual herbs. Only after the other three areas were developed would she think about the next step.

After stopping the lectures, during the day, Hua Changxi focused on alchemy on the third level of the secret realm, and at night, she did body refining and sword practice.

At the same time, Shenhe Peak, Qingyao Peak, and Xuanhuang Peak were now also in full swing, vigorously reclaiming spiritual fields and medicinal fields.

Watching the four barren mountain peaks gradually becoming lush and green, Xia Zhen's expression was filled with emotion. The timing Hua Changxi chose to teach the "Complete Guide to First-Grade Spiritual Herb Planting" was too good.

No, perhaps she didn't deliberately choose the timing, but was just following the general trend.

But this situation was what worried him the most. Hua Changxi had inadvertently promoted the development of the holy land. How could Qingyao catch up with her?

Time slipped away, and soon it was the twelfth day of the eighth month.

Tong Yao sent a message to Hua Changxi, Jing Le, and Yan Zhenzhen, informing the three that the one hundred display spiritual artifacts had all been refined.

At noon that day, the four met at the restaurant they often frequented and each received 25 display spiritual artifacts.

After Hua Changxi confirmed that the recruitment announcement on the display spiritual artifacts was correct, she smiled at the three: "I hope that after deploying this batch of display spiritual artifacts, we can recruit more excellent disciples."

Regarding this, the three were also full of anticipation.

Hua Changxi: "It was agreed before, southeast, northwest, four directions, we each pick one to deploy."

Immediately, the four each chose a direction. Hua Changxi deployed to the south, Tong Yao to the west, Jing Le to the north, and Yan Zhenzhen to the east.

Tong Yao looked at Hua Changxi: "The four major holy lands are publicly recruiting apprentices in various places. Once the news spreads, it will definitely cause a huge uproar."

Yan Zhenzhen added: "Holy lands recruiting apprentices, to put it bluntly, is competing for talent with all parties. Local powerful figures will definitely not want to see this scene. Even here in the capital, there will be a reaction."

"So, when we deploy the display spiritual artifacts, we might encounter sniping."

Tong Yao continued: "The time we take to deploy the display spiritual artifacts should not be too long. Our plan is to deploy all the display spiritual artifacts within three days."

Jing Le also looked over: "For the deployment of the display spiritual artifacts, the three of us have all found holy land elders to help. Benefactor Hua, on your side......"

Hua Changxi hurriedly indicated: "Rest assured, there will be no problems on my side either."

She had long since practiced the Somersault Cloud to perfection. Although she couldn't reach 108,000 miles in one somersault, it wasn't far off.

Seeing her speak so confidently, the three couldn't help but look at her, and then they didn't say anything else.

At the time of parting, Hua Changxi reminded them again: "Remember, the display spiritual artifacts must be deployed outside the city gates with large crowds, otherwise, the effect of the spiritual artifacts won't be highlighted."

The three nodded: "Rest assured, we know."

That night, the four acted separately.

Hua Changxi went all the way south, keeping the cities where crowds gathered in her eyes. She didn't stop and, using one night, flew straight to the southernmost point adjacent to the sea.

Along the way, she had a rough understanding of the personnel distribution in the southern cities.

Without delay, Hua Changxi turned back immediately and began to deploy the display spiritual artifacts outside the large city gates she had focused on.

The display spiritual artifacts were made of black star meteorites. The recruitment announcement playing in turns in the spiritual artifacts was written by Jing Le using a Yin-Yang Rune Pen.

Black background with gold characters, very eye-catching.

Special arrays were inscribed on the display spiritual artifacts, taking root upon landing and erupting with dazzling light.

Although the light lasted for only one or two quarters of an hour, it was enough to attract the attention of surrounding cultivators.

Watching a large number of cultivators rushing toward the display spiritual artifacts, Hua Changxi didn't stop and flew to the next city.

Thus, one after another, it took her two nights and one day to deploy all twenty-five display spiritual artifacts.

During this period, there were also cultivators tracking her, but she was too fast and soon left these cultivators behind.

On the morning of the fourteenth of the eighth month, Hua Changxi deployed the last display spiritual artifact outside the county town of Nanxiang County, not far from Lingguang Hall.

Ever since Lingguang Hall appeared, Nanxiang County and its surroundings had undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only had the land area become larger, but the surrounding terrain was also quietly changing.

There were plants and trees that grew several meters in a day as if they had been injected with hormones, appearing in patches; there were stone mountains cracking open, flowing out magma like waterfalls; there were valleys steaming with fire, looking exactly like flames burning in the valley......

These anomalies appearing in Nanxiang County were all covered up by the imperial court and did not spread widely.

If it weren't for Hua Changxi deploying display spiritual artifacts to the south this time, she wouldn't have known that such rapid and huge changes were happening here.

Hua Changxi drove the spiritual cloud, moving slowly over Nanxiang County, looking seriously at the various anomalies in Nanxiang County.

At this moment, in her eyes, Nanxiang County was steaming with fire spiritual energy, as if...... it was undergoing some kind of transformation.

When she landed from the sky and her feet stepped on the territory of Nanxiang County, she immediately felt a powerful force surging from deep underground.

This force struck her chest directly, not only causing her heart to beat faster but also causing the blood in her whole body to boil.

As if it were...... celebrating for this territory of Nanxiang County?!

This strange feeling came suddenly and inexplicably. Although Hua Changxi didn't feel any danger, she still condensed the spiritual cloud and flew into the high sky.

After her mood calmed down and she lingered and patrolled in the sky for a while, Hua Changxi flew to Lingguang Hall.

Arriving at Lingguang Hall, Hua Changxi issued the first mission to the Zhu Que Army.
