Chapter 314: Man-Made Disaster Begins

In the No. 6 Pavilion, a wisp of flame floated in the palms of one hundred cultivators. Under the control of these people, the flames flickered, sometimes large, sometimes small, sometimes bright, sometimes dark.

Hua Changxi shuttled among these people, occasionally pointing out some tips for controlling the 'Fire Control Art' to some people.

During this period, many cultivators had obvious joy on their faces.

For no other reason, they discovered that after Hua Changxi's guidance, they were more precise in their control of spiritual energy, not just in the Fire Control Art.

After understanding the fire control ability of the cultivators present, Hua Changxi took out some first-grade spiritual medicine: "Next, I will explain the complete alchemy process to everyone."

"The first step is to clarify what kind of pills to refine and prepare the corresponding spiritual medicine according to the alchemy formula."

"The second step is to clean and process the spiritual medicine after collecting it. Note that the quality of spiritual medicine processing is related to the quality of the pills refined later."

"The third step is to decompose and purify the components of the spiritual medicine to be used, and decompose and grind the required spiritual medicine into powder."

"The fourth step is to fuse medicinal materials and decompose impurities."

"Starting from the third and fourth steps, the requirements for alchemists increase significantly. Not only do alchemists need to be familiar with spiritual medicine, but they also need to master the differences in the medicinal properties of various parts of the spiritual medicine."

"Besides that, you also need to have super-high control over spiritual power. Otherwise, incomplete decomposition, incomplete grinding, incomplete fusion, and incomplete removal of impurities will all affect the quality of the pills."

"Next is the fifth step, which is the most critical and important step of alchemy: condensing medicinal materials into pills. Whether the pills can be formed determines whether this furnace of pills is refined successfully."

"The last step is to seal the medicinal properties and spiritual energy of the pills."

Hua Changxi looked at everyone: "The steps of alchemy are not complicated, but it is not easy to refine high-quality pills. If you want to go far on the path of alchemy, you need to build a good foundation for each item."

"Now, I will demonstrate the refining process of first-grade Spirit-Returning Pills for everyone."

The alchemy furnace Hua Changxi used for teaching was just an ordinary alchemy furnace. In order to let everyone see the alchemy steps clearly, she deliberately slowed down her movements.

The spiritual fire was lit, and one by one, spiritual medicines flew into the alchemy furnace, decomposing, grinding, fusing...

Everyone watched intently, even the second-grade alchemists and third-grade alchemists present.

Every step of Hua Changxi's alchemy was quite concise, exuding a Dao rhyme of returning to simplicity.

Soon, a rich pill fragrance diffused in the No. 6 Pavilion.

Condensing pills into shape!

The alchemy furnace lid opened, and ten first-grade Spirit-Returning Pills emitting green light appeared in everyone's sight.

It was a top-grade pill!

Although they had long known that Hua Changxi's alchemy technology would not be bad, and guessed that she could refine top-grade pills, seeing her refine almost perfect top-grade pills so easily with their own eyes still greatly shocked the people present.

Department Head Gu's eyes flickered, and a guess jumped into his mind: Was the alchemy fire on the first street of the Nine Streets lit by Hua Changxi?

Not only did he think so, but many people present also had such a guess.

Hua Changxi summoned the ten first-grade top-grade Spirit-Returning Pills to her side. The round pills had a conspicuous green pattern on them: "This is a first-grade pill, so there is only one pill pattern."

After finishing, she waved her hand, and the ten Spirit-Returning Pills started to circle in the No. 6 Pavilion.

The people listening to the lecture immediately suppressed the many thoughts in their hearts and seriously looked at the first-grade top-grade pills in front of them.

"If you want to know the quality of the pills you refine, you only need to look at one point, which is whether the pill pattern is complete."

"The pill pattern of low-grade pills has the greatest defects, and the brightness of the pill pattern is the dimmest."

"Low-grade pills also have the most impurities. Taking too many low-grade pills will not only leave pill toxins in the body but also damage spiritual roots."

"The pill pattern of top-grade pills is complete and surrounded by pill luster. Taking top-grade pills has almost no side effects."

The first-grade top-grade Spirit-Returning Pills refined by Hua Changxi had brilliant pill patterns and completely surrounded the entire pill in a circle.

"Alright, I have demonstrated the complete steps of alchemy and the actual operation process of refining. Now, take out your alchemy furnaces and refine a furnace of first-grade pills for me to see."

Hearing this, everyone took out the alchemy furnaces and spiritual medicines they had prepared and started refining alchemy one after another.

Most of the people present were already alchemists. Except for a few whose alchemy level was not bad, other people had obvious deficiencies.

Hua Changxi quietly watched everyone refining alchemy. At this moment, she just wanted to understand everyone's alchemy level, so she didn't come forward to correct them.

When she saw Dongfang Xu and Dongfang Hao, her eyes flickered.

Honestly, seeing these two in the No. 6 Pavilion, she was still somewhat surprised. After all, these two followed the Xia family to the Medicine Administration Department and should be on the side of the guardian family.

The people who came to listen to the lecture today, besides the Dan Yuan Peak apprentices, were all people from the faction of the noble families in the capital. The appearance of these two seemed particularly abrupt.

However, the alchemy level of these two was quite good.

After most people had refined a furnace of pills, Hua Changxi saw it was getting late and said directly: "Let's stop here for today. Class dismissed."

Watching Hua Changxi's receding back, Dongfang Xu said to Dongfang Hao while packing up the alchemy furnace: "Hua Changxi's class is worth listening to; it's quite rewarding."

Dongfang Hao showed agreement: "In terms of alchemy, I'm afraid Qingyao is not as good as her."

Dongfang Xu tilted his head: "Qingyao's talent is very good, but compared to Hua Changxi, I always feel something is missing."

Dongfang Hao was silent for a moment and said: "Qingyao is a vine clinging to the two mountains of the Xia family and the Meng family. Hua Changxi is a lone tree rooted in the earth."

Hearing this, Dongfang Xu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother, your description is very appropriate."

Dongfang Hao sighed in his heart. With Hua Changxi around, it would be difficult for the guardian family to send Qingyao to the position of Sacred Land Master.

In the following days, Hua Changxi went to the No. 6 Pavilion during the day to teach alchemy techniques and returned to Dan Yuan Peak at night to cultivate the 'Twelve Soul-Controlling Styles'.

Time slipped away day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was mid-November.

On the 16th of November, Hua Changxi was pointing out the technique of sealing the medicinal properties and spiritual power of pills to Mu Qingying when suddenly, a earth-shattering loud noise erupted, as if something had exploded, startling everyone's expressions to change greatly.

"What happened?"

"Look quickly, what is that?"

In the direction south of the capital, black cracks like spider webs appeared in the sky, and countless scorching, crimson fire spiritual energy gushed out.

The sky over there looked like an eggshell that had been cracked.

Seeing this scene, everyone's pupils shook.

"That is... a space crack!"

Hua Changxi's expression also changed greatly. Through the space crack, she saw the fire-red Fusang wood.

Something happened to the Instrument Saint Palace!

Thinking of Hua Liulang in the Instrument Saint Palace, Hua Changxi didn't say a word, condensed spiritual clouds, and flew into the air in a flash, quickly flying in the direction of the Instrument Saint Palace.

Around the refining workshop where the Instrument Saint Palace ruins were located, space cracks were constantly spreading and growing. The surrounding commoners were either sucked into the cracks, seriously injured by the cracks, or burned by the gushing fire spiritual energy.

The casualties were so heavy that it was like being in purgatory.

When Hua Changxi rushed over, she was startled by this bloody scene.

She wanted to save people, but because the range affected by the space cracks was too large, she didn't know where to start.

"Space tearing, the Instrument Saint Palace requests all fellow Daoists to join hands to suppress the space!"

An urgent voice filled with prayer sounded in the air. Immediately after, several figures flew out, releasing spiritual energy, anxiously wanting to stop the spread of the space cracks.

As soon as the voice fell, countless cultivators from all directions flew out and started to join hands to suppress the space cracks.

Hua Changxi also joined in, but soon, she realized that this wouldn't work. The spiritual energy of cultivators is limited, and they couldn't last long.

Just then, Tong Yao suddenly rushed over, grabbing Hua Changxi with a face full of anxiety: "Changxi, only you can help the Instrument Saint Palace now."

Hua Changxi's expression paused: "What help can I give?"

Tong Yao pulled her: "You come with me first; we'll talk while we walk."

Seeing this, Hua Changxi withdrew her spiritual energy and let Tong Yao pull her to fly toward the ground.

"Someone used Dao soldiers to blow up the Instrument Saint Palace's mountain-protecting formation, leading to large-scale tearing of space. If the space cracks are allowed to continue to spread, it will cause space collapse."

"At that time, not only will the Instrument Saint Palace ruins be severely damaged, but even the Fusang Divine Wood will be severely damaged."

Tong Yao explained quickly what happened: "Using spiritual energy to suppress can only slow down the spread of space cracks. Once the suppression force disappears, the space will still collapse."

Hua Changxi didn't expect that the current situation was actually caused by man-made disaster: "How do you want me to help?"

At this time, the two were already standing on the ground. Tong Yao looked at Hua Changxi solemnly, a look of difficulty on his face, as if it was hard to speak.

Hua Changxi listened to the screams one after another around her, her mood stirred and very irritable: "Just say it; whether I can help or not, I will consider it myself."

Tong Yao didn't delay anymore: "I heard Xia Yang and Xia Xue mention that you have entered the space where the Fusang Divine Wood is located."

Hua Changxi nodded.

Tong Yao: "The Great Sun Divine Flame is the supreme treasure of the Instrument Saint Palace. Combined with the Instrument Saint Palace's Heaven-Refining Hammer technique, it can repair space cracks."

Hua Changxi understood his meaning: "You want me to enter the space crack and sacrifice the Great Sun Divine Flame?"

Tong Yao nodded: "I know this is very dangerous, but the Instrument Saint Palace really has no other way."

Hua Changxi pondered. Entering the space crack was undoubtedly dangerous, but she had mastered the 'Crack' character law, so she wasn't afraid of this aspect.

What she worried about was not being able to withstand the power of the Great Sun Divine Flame.

Looking at the cultivators in the high sky struggling to suppress the spread of space cracks, Hua Changxi gritted her teeth. Just treat it as using the Great Sun Divine Flame for body refinement: "Good, I agree to you." ===== CHAPTER 315 =====
