before long, Tong Yao, Jing Liao, and Yan Zhenzhen came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Changxi~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Instrument Sage Palace had managed to repair the spatial rift and the mountain-protecting formation so quickly thanks to Hua Changxi's Great Sun Divine Flame; although the Great Elder had already provided compensation, Tong Yao still felt compelled to come in person to express his gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Tong Yao, Jing Liao, and Yan Zhenzhen approach, Hua Changxi's eyes flickered with light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her vision now, a fire dragon surged and soared within the slowly flowing blood of Tong Yao's body; a lush and leafy Bodhi tree stood firmly within Jing Liao's blood; and a five-colored spiritual turtle lay dormant within Yan Zhenzhen's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing numerous cultivators, although she had not seen many bloodline totems, her comparative judgment indicated that the clearer and more vibrant the bloodline totem within a cultivator's blood, the higher their degree of atavism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Fu and Zhou Shou initially had low degrees of atavism, but after soaking in the Atavism Medicinal Bath, their bloodline totems were now far clearer and more vibrant than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the degree of atavism, the greater the probability of inheriting the totem's divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bloodline totems of Tong Yao and the other two resembled vivid living creatures, indicating their degrees of atavism were quite high; they must have either consumed heavenly treasures that promoted atavism or employed other methods to advance their bloodline regression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the three drew near, Hua Changxi looked at Tong Yao and asked, \"Is the Instrument Sage Palace safe now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Yao nodded. \"Thanks to the assistance of fellow Daoists from all sides, this crisis at the Instrument Sage Palace has finally been resolved; all that remains is to comfort those who lost their homes during the incident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi glanced at the area shrouded by the spiritual energy barrier. \"I actually thought the Instrument Sage Palace would reveal itself because of this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yan Zhenzhen laughed. \"I thought the exact same thing; I believed that too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Yao sighed. \"The Five Great Sacred Lands can be considered the most blessed grotto-heavens on the Central Continent; without sufficient spiritual energy support, they cannot reveal themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zhenzhen added, \"Jing Liao told me earlier that this would require several outbreaks of spiritual energy tides in the Four Spirit Realms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this unfamiliar news, Hua Changxi hurriedly asked, \"What is a spiritual energy tide?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zhenzhen did not answer, instead looking toward Jing Liao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Liao smiled. \"I am not entirely clear on the conditions required for a spiritual energy tide to erupt; I only know that when one does, it brings about the celestial phenomenon of the sun and moon shining together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi committed Jing Liao's words to memory, not for any other reason than to avoid appearing ignorant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tong Yao, how did you get injured?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi's attention had previously been fixed on the three individuals' bloodlines, and only now did she notice the fine cracks covering the right arm of the nascent soul within Tong Yao's dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Yao looked at Hua Changxi in surprise; he was indeed injured, and not by some simple physical wound, but by a severe injury affecting his nascent soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only him, but the nascent souls of many elders from the Instrument Sage Palace had also been damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Instrument Sage Palace's Heaven-Forging Hammer Technique possessed terrifying power, yet if forcibly unleashed when one's strength was insufficient, the rebound force would inflict severe injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rebound force not only devastated the physical body but also damaged the nascent soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While repairing the spatial rift, he and the elders of the Instrument Sage Palace had swung their hammers until their arms cracked again and again; some disciples with insufficient cultivation had nearly suffered the collapse of their physical bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Physical injuries were relatively easy to resolve, but injuries to the nascent soul were difficult to treat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could you tell I was injured?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi repeated the words she had previously spoken to Duke Zhu: \"I am a physician; observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking are the most basic abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Yao tested her. \"Then can you tell where exactly I am injured?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi looked at him. \"...The nascent soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Yao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. \"Can you heal injuries to the nascent soul?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi replied, \"Not yet; I still do not know how to refine fourth-grade pills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disappointment immediately surfaced on Tong Yao's face. \"To be honest with you, several elders and I were all injured this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Liao asked, \"Were all injuries to the nascent soul?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zhenzhen also showed urgency on her face. \"Injuries to the nascent soul are no small matter; they must be resolved quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Yao nodded. \"The Great Elder is already seeking a solution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zhenzhen's eyes darted as she looked at Hua Changxi, exaggerating, \"Changxi, you are the number one figure in the Pill Sage Hall; the responsibility resting on your shoulders is immense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi looked puzzled. \"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zhenzhen explained, \"Surely no one in the current Medical Bureau possesses medical skills superior to yours, meaning you represent the pinnacle of medical arts held by the Medical Bureau, and perhaps not just the Bureau; you might even represent the pinnacle of medical arts for the entire Four Spirit Realms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi kept a straight face. \"You are exaggerating; who knows how many ancient monsters are hidden throughout the Four Spirit Realms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zhenzhen countered, \"That may be true, but you are indeed the foremost physician openly known; you cannot deny that, can you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zhenzhen continued, \"Therefore, you must hasten to improve your medical skills and pill-refining techniques; otherwise, you will limit the development of medical arts across the entire realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi looked at her, the corners of her mouth twitching. \"Yan Zhenzhen, you are even better at elevating the stakes than Gu Xing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least when Gu Xing had persuaded her to take on heavy responsibilities, his focus had been merely on the Pill Sage Hall; Yan Zhenzhen, however, had directly dragged the entire realm into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, would the Four Spirit Realms stop turning without me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I return the same sentiment to you; hurry home and improve your formation skills, otherwise you will limit the development of formations across the entire Four Spirit Realms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Tong Yao and Jing Liao were watching the spectacle with expressions of agreement toward Yan Zhenzhen, Hua Changxi turned to them and spoke as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you just say it would take several spiritual tide eruptions to make the Sacred Lands reappear? Then hurry up and find a way. If the Sacred Lands do not emerge soon, you will become the sinners of the entire Central Continent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, not just the Central Continent. The Five Great Sacred Lands are responsible for suppressing the Demon Prison. If they fail to emerge promptly, allowing demonic qi to leak into the human world, then you will become the sinners of the entire Four Spirit Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zhenzhen: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Liao and Tong Yao: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the three of them dumbfounded, Hua Changxi snorted inwardly; as if she did not know how to speak in lofty terms herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why have you gone silent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Often, words are as light as a goose feather, while actions are as heavy as Mount Taishan. Stop standing here talking without feeling the strain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zhenzhen, Jing Liao, and Tong Yao exchanged bewildered glances. Yan Zhenzhen even guiltily rubbed her nose. Well, Changxi was indeed as sharp-tongued and difficult to deceive as the rumors claimed!\u003C\u002Fp>",1559,"2026-06-12T02:51:23.636Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","2f4f453ad096dde4a80fbf2ff91a8281849b764ddbfe9d04ab5b0864d12a9a23","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-329","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-327",558,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-cover.jpg"]
