Chapter 321

The middle-aged general demanded that Hua Changxi go to the Demon-Suppressing Army camp for treatment, and his tone was quite forceful, instantly provoking Hua Changxi's oppositional psychology.

Hua Changxi smiled indifferently: "General, I see you are not young, and you are a Nascent Soul cultivator; how can you not even know the most basic way to conduct yourself?"

Seeing the middle-aged general's angry expression, Hua Changxi continued: "You were the one who came to me seeking medical help, which means you are the one asking for my help. At the very least, you should give me the respect I am due."

"I am not a soldier under your command; you have no right to order me."

The middle-aged general frowned. Thinking of his mission, he endured the public reprimand from this little girl who was even younger than his own daughter: "My attitude just now was wrong; I ask Peak Master Hua to accompany me."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi laughed out loud, looking at the middle-aged general: "Are you so used to giving orders that you think everyone should listen to you?"

The middle-aged general was furious at being asked this and suddenly raised his voice: "Peak Master Hua, I have already apologized; why must you keep harping on it?"

This commotion directly caused the people around to look over one after another.

Hua Changxi's face turned completely cold. She still respected the Demon-Suppressing Army, but at this moment, she couldn't be bothered to give the middle-aged general any face.

"I am a physician, you are a patient. If you seek medical help from me, you must follow my rules."

"Listen well: I do not make house calls. If you want treatment, come to the stall."

The middle-aged general was both angry and shocked. Not to mention that he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, even just the name of the Demon-Suppressing Army usually ensured that few people would refuse to give face: "You..."

Hua Changxi couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him and walked straight to the diagnostic table where she had been treating patients and sat down.

Actually, it wasn't that she couldn't make a trip to the Demon-Suppressing Army camp; the key was that she had to be willing.

If the middle-aged general had asked for her opinion in advance, considering the severity of the patients' injuries, making a trip wouldn't have been impossible.

But the middle-aged general's attitude made her feel too uncomfortable.

He calls, and she has to trot over?

She's not a lapdog!

Watching Hua Changxi sit down and start treating other patients, the middle-aged general let out a heavy cold snort, then turned and left in a huff.

Hua Changxi glanced indifferently at his departing back and began to focus on treating the Golden Core cultivators waiting in line.

At this time, she discovered that although the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique had just reached the fourth layer and she could only "see" the surface condition of the Nascent Soul cultivators' Nascent Souls, she could see the Golden Cores of the Golden Core cultivators clearly, inside and out.

Because of the improvement in her "eyesight," in the subsequent treatments, she discovered a significant problem.

That was, among the Golden Core cultivators who came for medical help, some had their Golden Cores covered with a layer of faint black flames.

A cultivator's Golden Core radiates spiritual light.

Before the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique reached the fourth layer, although she could see the situation inside the dantian clearly, the Golden Core floated above the Qi Sea. Coupled with the fact that the patients had all inhaled demonic energy, and the Qi Sea was filled with demonic energy, she could only see the position of the Golden Core.

For the Golden Core wrapped in spiritual light, she was unable to penetrate the light to conduct an in-depth investigation.

Under the cover of the spiritual light, Hua Changxi hadn't noticed the black flames on the Golden Core before, but at this moment, those black flames were fully revealed in her eyes.

Hua Changxi was all too familiar with black flames.

No other reason; she had them in her own body, and they had even penetrated into her Nascent Soul and taken root on her heart.

If one or two Golden Core cultivators had black flames in their bodies, it might be a coincidence, but if dozens or hundreds of them did, then there was definitely a problem.

The reason she had ignited black flames was because she had been ambushed by the Asura Gate; so what was the reason for these Golden Core cultivators?

Hua Changxi secretly observed those Golden Core cultivators whose Golden Cores were covered with black flames and chose one with the most serious injuries to test.

"I have helped you suppress the demonic energy in your body. However, there is a problem with your Golden Core. If you don't find a way to solve it, I'm afraid you won't be able to break the core and form the Nascent Soul in the future."

Hearing this, the Golden Core cultivator receiving treatment suddenly changed color: "Peak Master Hua, what problem does my Golden Core have?"

Hua Changxi looked at him: "Your Golden Core is covered with a layer of very uncomfortable aura. In my perception, it looks like a layer of flames. Besides that, there are several cracks on your Golden Core."

After hearing this, the patient showed a look of horror, and then he entered a state of meditation to introspect his own dantian.

Although a cultivator can introspect their own dantian and perceive their Golden Core with extreme precision, they cannot see through their own Golden Core like Hua Changxi.

The patient could "see" the black flames on his Golden Core, but because the cracks on the Golden Core were too small and had no obvious abnormalities, he hadn't discovered them.

A moment later, the patient opened his eyes: "Peak Master Hua, there are no cracks on my Golden Core?"

Hua Changxi looked at him, grabbed his wrist, channeled spiritual energy through his spiritual root, injected it into his dantian, and then continued to pour it into the Golden Core, penetrating into the Golden Core along the cracks.

As the external spiritual energy invaded the Golden Core, the patient immediately sensed the abnormality and looked at Hua Changxi with trepidation and urgency: "Peak Master Hua, can the problem with my Golden Core be treated?"

Hua Changxi: "I must first know exactly what problem your Golden Core has."

"I can understand the appearance of cracks on the Golden Core; it should be that you suffered some kind of heavy blow. However, I don't quite understand the layer of flames covering your Golden Core."

Hua Changxi looked at him: "When the change happened earlier, you must have been very close to the center of the explosion, right?"

The patient nodded.

Hua Changxi: "Do you know what the flames on your Golden Core are?"

The patient hesitated for a moment, then suddenly transmitted his voice to Hua Changxi: "Peak Master Hua, that layer of flames should be... Yin Flames."

He paused.

"When the Tool Workshop suddenly exploded, I was nearby and saw with my own eyes someone holding a black jade lotus petal from a divine lamp, performing a spell."

"I was too close. After the explosion occurred, that person was also blown away, and the Yin Flames on the black jade lotus petal scattered everywhere. I was too unlucky and happened to be hit by a wisp."

Hearing the patient's voice transmission, Hua Changxi's eyes flickered constantly. Were the people who blew up the Tool Saint Palace's protective mountain array from the Asura Gate?

"Peak Master Hua, can I still be saved?"

Hua Changxi came back to her senses and looked at the patient: "I cannot solve that layer of Yin Flames. As for the cracks on the Golden Core, they are not easy to repair and require some relatively precious spiritual herbs."

"I will write you a prescription; you should follow it to collect the spiritual herbs."

The patient took the prescription and, after confirming repeatedly that as long as the spiritual herbs were collected and the corresponding pills were refined, the cracks on the Golden Core could be repaired, he thanked her and turned to leave.

"Next."

Hua Changxi drank a sip of spiritual tea, preparing to treat the next patient, but found no one coming forward. Looking up, she saw the cultivators waiting in line making way.

Then, the middle-aged general who had appeared earlier appeared in her line of sight, accompanying a Nascent Soul peak cultivator with a youthful face and crane-like hair.

The moment she saw the crane-haired, youthful-faced cultivator, Hua Changxi's eyes narrowed, and her expression became serious and solemn.

No other reason; on that person's Nascent Soul heart, there was also a cluster of flames burning.

However, that cluster of flames was not pure black, but black and white intertwined.

The black flames and white flames were distinct from each other, yet entangled with each other.

Hua Changxi suddenly remembered Steward Leng from the Miscellaneous Hall and Jing Liao; they had both told her that black flames were also called Yin Flames, and white flames were also known as Yang Flames. The black and white flames were the Yin and Yang flames.

This was the first time she had seen a cultivator ignite both black and white flames simultaneously.
