Chapter 288: Five Elements Gate

All parties were closely watching the reaction of the royal family. Unfortunately, it had been several days since the Embroidered Uniform Guard found Hua Changxi, and there was still no reaction from the royal family.

"Is this intended to be left unsettled?"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard is the private army of the royal family. Hua Changxi attacked the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which is undoubtedly publicly slapping the royal family in the face. The royal family doesn't even pursue this?

On the twenty-seventh of the eighth month, the Embroidered Uniform Guard came to the Medical Department again, notifying Hua Changxi to go to the North Town Fushi in three days to discuss the matter of cultivators entering the capital. Only then did all parties confirm that the royal family really didn't intend to pursue Hua Changxi.

Regarding this, many people felt very disappointed.

"What a pity!"

Xia Zhen was very regretful. Hua Changxi revealed strength even stronger than he imagined. He originally thought he could take advantage of her confrontation with the royal family to further explore what cards she had in her hand. He didn't expect the domineering royal family to choose to settle the matter.

Compared to the disappointment of all parties, Hua Changxi was relieved.

She certainly didn't want to confront the royal family head-on, even if she had the Zhu Que Army in her hand.

Just as she said, once some things start, the direction of the matter afterward, and how the matter will end, are not something anyone can decide.

Mobilizing the Zhu Que Army is not a good thing for her.

Managing a Danyuan Secret Realm already made her a bit too busy. Once the Zhu Que Army was mobilized, the aspects involved would only be more, and the affairs she needed to be responsible for would roll bigger and bigger like a snowball.

At that time, it would infinitely compress her cultivation time, which was definitely not what she wanted.

This time, teaching the Embroidered Uniform Guard a lesson was a bit impulsive, but Hua Changxi didn't regret it. People are bullied by others, and horses are ridden by others. She also had to show her claws appropriately.

It's just that exposing her strength still stimulated her sense of crisis, making her realize that the cards in her hand were still too few.

Before this, she felt that having four strongholds, Shennong Hall, Mount Wuzhi Mountain, Lingguang Hall, and Danyuan Peak, was already very good. But this time her opponent became the royal family, and comparing herself with the royal family, she instantly felt that her accumulation was really not enough to look at.

Moreover, besides Danyuan Peak and Shennong Hall, she participated in the management, Mount Wuzhi Mountain and Lingguang Hall were both free-range. If something really happened, the help provided would be very limited.

This hard confrontation with the royal family could be considered a reminder to Hua Changxi that she should properly let Mount Wuzhi Mountain and Lingguang Hall operate.

It just so happened that her cultivation was stagnant now, and part of her cultivation time was freed up.

Mount Wuzhi Mountain was still okay. With An Ze and An Ran watching, it was also possible to directly copy the management mode of Danyuan Peak.

But the management of Lingguang Hall made her a bit troubled.

Although the Zhu Que Army only had more than six thousand people now, this was an army after all. Where did she have the experience of managing an army?

Without experience, she could only take the path of borrowing.

The matter of the Zhu Que Army could not be asked to outsiders. This could be considered one of her cards. In this way, Hua Changxi could only borrow the management mode of the Demon-Suppressing Army and Demon-Suppressing Guards she could come into contact with.

The rank system of the Demon-Suppressing Guards' soldiers is: General -> Assistant Regional Commander -> Garrison Commander -> Ten Thousand Commander -> Thousand Commander -> Hundred Commander -> Ten Commander -> Soldier.

The promotion route is very simple and clear, at a glance.

Hua Changxi wanted to use it directly, but for the sake of insurance, she still went to the Lecture Hall and chatted with a lecturer who was a retired Demon-Suppressing soldier, asking about the management system of the Demon-Suppressing Army.

Upon learning that the Demon-Suppressing Army was also following the management mode of General -> Assistant Regional Commander -> Garrison Commander -> Ten Thousand Commander -> Thousand Commander -> Hundred Commander -> Ten Commander -> Soldier, she was truly surprised.

"It seems this management mode can be applied directly."

Having the planning experience of the Danyuan Secret Realm, Hua Changxi also planned the operation plan of Mount Wuzhi Mountain and Lingguang Hall with ease.

Hua Changxi planned to build a Five Elements Gate on Mount Wuzhi Mountain, which could better maintain the order of Mount Wuzhi Mountain.

The Five Elements Gate is divided into six departments: Personnel Department, Logistics Department, Mission Hall, Merit Hall, Lecture Hall, Law Enforcement Hall.

Disciple promotion route: Apprentice -> Outer Disciple -> Inner Disciple -> Personal Disciple

After setting this management mode, Hua Changxi teleported directly to Mount Wuzhi Mountain, called An Ran and An Ze to her front, and told the two about the plan to build the Five Elements Gate and the planning scheme of the Five Elements Gate.

Hearing Hua Changxi's words, An Ran and An Ze both showed surprise on their faces.

With the continuous recovery of spiritual energy, more and more people became cultivators. Due to the lack of tempering grounds, Mount Wuzhi Mountain became the first choice for cultivators to temper themselves.

More cultivators came, and fighting followed. If it weren't for Qingzhou being the jurisdiction of Prince Dong'an, and Prince Dong'an owing the Fairy a favor, helping them suppress some covetousness, Mount Wuzhi Mountain would definitely not be very peaceful.

Although they would also recruit some cultivators, because there was no formal external title, in the eyes of outsiders, they were like the martial arts gangs of the past.

Now it's fine. Establishing the Five Elements Gate will definitely attract more and more excellent cultivators to join them.

Mountain Spirit and Little Pine didn't know when they gathered around. Hearing that Hua Changxi was going to build the Five Elements Gate, Mountain Spirit jumped happily: "Fairy, you finally figured it out."

With a formal sect sitting in town, it will definitely be able to recruit more disciples. The more disciples, the more prosperous the incense, and Mount Wuzhi Mountain will naturally be better, and it will also be able to advance to the Mount Wuzhi Mountain God faster.

Seeing that Mountain Spirit was now five or six years old, Hua Changxi touched its round head and smiled: "You have grown up again."

Mountain Spirit leaned against Hua Changxi, acting very intimately, its eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile: "Fairy has become stronger, so I have become stronger too."

Hua Changxi looked at Mountain Spirit: "The Five Elements Gate has just been established, and everything is still being explored. I am often not here, so you have to help me keep an eye on it."

Mountain Spirit puffed out its chest: "Rest assured, I will."

Hua Changxi asked again: "By the way, how high is the realm of the strongest monster beast on Mount Wuzhi Mountain?"

Practicing the Blood Refining Chapter of the "Nine Turns Profound Art" requires monster beast blood. Before this, she hadn't paid much attention to monster beasts.

Mountain Spirit: "Golden Core stage."

Hua Changxi: "No Nascent Soul stage monster beast?"

Mountain Spirit: "Mount Wuzhi Mountain is your dojo, Fairy. Monster beasts dare not transform in the human territory. In the past two years, several peak Golden Core stage monster beasts have secretly left Mount Wuzhi Mountain."

She paused.

"Fairy, do you want to collect spiritual pets?" As she spoke, she became excited on her own.

"The Five Elements Gate must have several mountain-guarding monster beasts. The monster beasts that grew up on Mount Wuzhi Mountain must be more loyal. Fairy, I know several peak Golden Core stage monster beasts in the mountain, and their bloodlines are quite good. Do you want to collect them?"

Hearing this, Hua Changxi became interested. Peak Nascent Soul stage Hua Changxi's sensing of various places on Mount Wuzhi Mountain became more and more precise, but investigating various places required spiritual sense, and her spiritual sense was not strong, so the consumption of investigating everywhere was too large. She could only follow Mountain Spirit and go around Mount Wuzhi Mountain before finding the five monster beasts.

At the foot of the middle finger peak, a golden eagle, a five-colored deer, a green python, a fiery red queen bee, and a black ape were lying in front of Hua Changxi, trembling.

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, the spiritual vein attributes of these five monster beasts can be considered to have gathered the five elements attributes.

This was Hua Changxi's first time dealing with monster beasts, and she couldn't grasp the measure, so she looked at Mountain Spirit.

Seeing this, Mountain Spirit immediately said to the five monster beasts with a smile: "This is the Fire Lotus Fairy."

Hearing this, the bodies of the five monster beasts trembled.

Fire Lotus Fairy, the Mountain Master of Mount Wuzhi Mountain!

At this moment, the five monsters were extremely regretful.

They were greedy for the rich spiritual energy in Mount Wuzhi Mountain and believed that the cultivation speed of cultivators could not keep up with monster beasts. Even if the Mountain Master came back and discovered them, her cultivation was below them and she couldn't do anything to them, so they stayed with a fluke mentality.

If they had known that the Fire Lotus Fairy was so strong, and one look made them unable to move, they wouldn't have stayed on Mount Wuzhi Mountain even if they were beaten to death.

Mountain Spirit: "Fairy wants to establish the Five Elements Gate and needs several mountain-guarding monster beasts. Are you willing to recognize Fairy as your master?"

Hearing this, the five monster beasts breathed a sigh of relief together. It was good that they were not to be killed.

"We are willing."

Seeing that these five monster beasts were so straightforward and crisp, Hua Changxi was also surprised.

Mountain Spirit explained: "In the world of the monster race, the strong are respected, and the weak only have the share of submission."

After hearing this, Hua Changxi nodded, and then let the five monster beasts sign the spiritual pet contract.

After the contract was completed, Mountain Spirit smiled and congratulated them: "After becoming the mountain-guarding monster beasts of Mount Wuzhi Mountain, you can advance and transform in Mount Wuzhi Mountain in the future."

Knowing that they didn't have to die, the five monsters also relaxed a little. The next moment, seeing the master throw out five bottles of pills, as if they were for them, they stepped forward to take them.

Hua Changxi: "These are the third-grade Beast Origin Pills I practiced for fun. After taking them, they should be helpful to your cultivation."

The five monsters didn't understand human pills very well and tried to open the pill bottles. When the rich pill fragrance flew into their noses, the five monsters all showed ecstasy on their faces.

"Thank you, Master, for the pills."

Confirming that Hua Changxi would not enslave them without compensation, the bit of unwillingness in the hearts of the five monsters dissipated a lot.

Hua Changxi: "Help me guard Mount Wuzhi Mountain and the Five Elements Gate well. I won't treat you badly. At least, there won't be a shortage of pills for you."

She paused.

"Even helping you purify your bloodlines is not impossible."

Hearing this, the five monsters immediately expressed their loyalty excitedly.

The bloodline of monster beasts is related to the upper limit of their cultivation. The higher and purer the bloodline, the higher and further they can go.

The five monsters were huge and it was not easy to take them to the outer mountains. Hua Changxi chatted with the five monsters for a while longer and then left with Mountain Spirit and Little Pine.

For the next two days, Hua Changxi stayed on Mount Wuzhi Mountain, discussing the specific details of managing the Five Elements Gate with An Ran and An Ze.

On the thirtieth of the eighth month, the morning light was slightly exposed, and Hua Changxi teleported back to the Danyuan Secret Realm. ===== CHAPTER 289 =====

On the thirtieth of August, as the morning light faintly appeared, Hua Changxi teleported back to the Danyuan Secret Realm.
