Chapter 414

Wei Zhenjie has left.

It seems he was angered into leaving by Hua Changxi!

Regarding this, all parties are somewhat baffled.

"What exactly does the Department Head mean? Does he think Hua Changxi is the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall, or not?"

The onlookers discuss cautiously.

In Lingjing Pavilion, Xia Ji's eyes flicker: "Wei Zhenjie coming here this time wasn't to ascertain Hua Changxi's identity; it looks more like he was deliberately confusing everyone's perception of her identity."

Xia Zhen knits his brows, concerned like the others, wanting a definitive answer: "Then is Hua Changxi the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall, or not?"

Xia Ji glances at him: "Wei Zhenjie's move was very successful. Look, your heart is in chaos, let alone the others."

He is certain that those who were originally convinced Hua Changxi was the Lingguang Hall Master are now wavering.

That Hua Changxi is also more shrewd than he imagined.

If she didn't admit to being the Lingguang Hall Master, outsiders might have questioned it, further solidifying their own guesses; but now that she openly admits it, outsiders are instead inclined not to believe it.

Such is the human heart...

Xia Zhen is too stifled to speak.

On the plaza, Hua Changxi only withdraws her gaze once Wei Zhenjie's figure has completely disappeared.

"Yun You, Logistics Manager of Lingguang Hall, pays respects to Peak Master Hua."

Wei Zhenjie has left, but Yun You has not.

Hua Changxi seems to have only just noticed Yun You, looking at her and examining her with curiosity and seriousness: "Something the matter?"

Yun You watches Hua Changxi without blinking, not missing any of her expressions.

Hearing her slightly distant tone, she sighs inwardly, feeling frustrated by her own ability to discern.

She truly cannot tell at all whether Hua Changxi is the Hall Master.

"Peak Master Hua, the Zhu Que Army first fought a great battle with the Phoenix clan, then suffered a sneak attack by ghost cultivators. Many people were severely injured, and their conditions did not improve after taking healing pills."

"I came here this time, besides purchasing pills, to invite several physicians to Lingguang Hall to treat the injured Zhu Que Army."

"I heard your medical skills are superb; would you be willing to go to Lingguang Hall to provide treatment for the Zhu Que Army?"

Hua Changxi seems very interested: "Go to Lingguang Hall for treatment?" She pauses, looks around at the onlookers on the plaza, and smiles, agreeing readily.

"I will go. You can discuss the specific details with Wan Feng."

Wan Feng, who was being held hostage by Princess Lingyuan, immediately pushes away the cultivator guarding him, walks quickly to Hua Changxi's side, and nods toward Yun You.

"You two talk."

Hua Changxi says this to Wan Feng and Yun You, then walks straight toward Yu Fu and the other two, smiling: "You performed well today; you didn't lose face for Danyuan Peak." After finishing, she glances indifferently at Princess Lingyuan.

Princess Lingyuan stiffens under the gaze, completely losing her previous arrogance.

Seeing this reaction, a look of contempt flashes in Hua Changxi's eyes.

Another one who bullies the weak and fears the strong!

Hua Changxi has no more interest in Princess Lingyuan and turns her head to look in the direction of Qihuang Pavilion and Lingjing Pavilion.

Hmm?

Seeing the white-robed female cultivator beside Chu Tianxun in Qihuang Pavilion, a look of surprise flashes in Hua Changxi's eyes.

The white-robed female cultivator is actually a heartless person?

Seeing Xia Ji beside Xia Zhen, Hua Changxi's gaze also flickers.

This is the first cultivator she has seen who has condensed a Primordial Spirit!

"Return to the peak."

Hua Changxi calmly withdraws her gaze and walks straight toward Danyuan Peak.

Yu Fu and the other two immediately follow.

Next are Ye Lingxuan, Jiang He, and their group.

In Lingjing Pavilion, Xia Ji's expression is more serious than before; even though Hua Changxi's group is completely out of sight, he does not withdraw his gaze.

Seeing this, Meng Qingyao asks, puzzled: "Master, what is wrong?"

Xia Ji: "Master was seen through by Hua Changxi."

"Hmm?"

"Ah?"

Meng Qingyao and Xia Zhen look at Xia Ji in surprise, neither understanding the specific meaning of his words.

Xia Ji looks at the two: "The Primordial Spirit technique I practice is quite special. As long as someone 'sees' my Primordial Spirit, I can sense it. Hua Changxi... just saw my Primordial Spirit."

Xia Zhen is stunned: "Then Hua Changxi's strength..."

Xia Ji narrows his eyes: "Hua Changxi is definitely not just a Nascent Soul cultivator." After finishing, he looks at Xia Zhen: "Stop the investigation into Hua Changxi."

Hearing this, Xia Zhen exclaims in surprise: "Why?"

Even Meng Qingyao looks at Xia Ji in confusion.

Xia Ji: "Whether Hua Changxi is the Lingguang Hall Master or not is no longer important."

Seeing Xia Zhen and Meng Qingyao both looking confused, Xia Ji smiles: "Regardless of whether Hua Changxi is the Lingguang Hall Master, no one dares to look down on her; even if she isn't, she is still an object worth befriending."

Xia Ji looks at the two: "Actually, the Xia family doesn't need to be hostile toward Hua Changxi. Especially you, Qingyao, your alchemy talent far exceeds many others. You usually can't even find someone to exchange insights with; Hua Changxi might be a candidate."

Xia Zhen moves his lips, wanting to say something, but finally swallows it back.

Meng Qingyao is lost in thought.

Qihuang Pavilion.

"How is it? Does Hua Changxi have the Eight-Petal Divine Lamp?"

As soon as Princess Lingyuan returns, she asks Zhu Xin urgently.

Zhu Xin shakes her head.

Princess Lingyuan exclaims in surprise: "She doesn't?!" She pauses, "If the Eight-Petal Divine Lamp is not on Hua Changxi, then she is not the Lingguang Hall Master!"

Speaking of this, Princess Lingyuan immediately gets angry: "Since Hua Changxi is not the Lingguang Hall Master, what is she acting so arrogant for in front of this Princess?" She cannot forget the contemptuous look Hua Changxi gave her.

Chu Tianxun glances at the furious Princess Lingyuan and gives a warning: "Do not provoke Hua Changxi."

Princess Lingyuan is unconvinced. She might not be able to provoke the Lingguang Hall Master who commands 100,000 Zhu Que troops, but can't she, a royal princess, provoke Hua Changxi, who comes from a humble background?

Shen Qianfan pulls Princess Lingyuan and shakes his head at her.

Princess Lingyuan is still satisfied with Shen Qianfan. In any case, Shen Qianfan has firmly held the position of Qihuang Pavilion Master for these years, which has brought her many benefits and given her more say among her brothers and sisters.

Zhu Xin ignores Princess Lingyuan's little mood and looks at Chu Tianxun: "Should we continue to investigate Hua Changxi?"

Chu Tianxun is silent for a long time, then sighs: "No need." As he speaks, he looks at Shen Qianfan.

"People from Lingguang Hall have come to request physicians. When the time comes, you arrange for some of our people to go to Lingguang Hall together."

Since Hua Changxi does not have the Eight-Petal Divine Lamp, they can only start from Lingguang Hall.

Once Hua Changxi leaves, the onlookers on the plaza also disperse one after another.

Nowadays, regarding whether Hua Changxi is the Lingguang Hall Master, people can only have their own opinions.

Hua Changxi's group returns to Danyuan Peak.

Hua Changxi smiles and encourages Ye Lingxuan, Jiang He, and their group with a few words, then takes Yu Fu and the other three back to the bamboo house on the peak.

Outside the bamboo house, Jia Lu has been waiting here for a long time.

"Master, you are back."

Seeing Hua Changxi, Jia Lu immediately trots up to greet her.

His divine ability is Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine; his combat power is weak, so he didn't participate in the battle today.

Hua Changxi looks at the four with a smile: "You have worked hard these years."

Along the way up, Danyuan Peak is full of vitality everywhere, and the disciples are also very spirited.

Afterward, Yu Fu and the four report to Hua Changxi the major events that have happened in the Medical Department and Danyuan Peak over the past ten years, and how they handled them.

After listening, Hua Changxi is very satisfied with the handling ability of Yu Fu and the four: "With you managing Danyuan Peak, I am very relieved, but..."

"Your strength is still a bit weak. You have only cultivated to the fourth stage of Body Refining. Combined with your divine abilities, it is barely enough to deal with Nascent Soul cultivators, but once you encounter Spirit Platform cultivators, you have no combat power."

Yu Fu says: "Master, we don't know what's going on; we just can't break through the fourth layer of the 'Nine Turns Profound Art'."

Zhao Xi takes over: "Some time ago, a celestial phenomenon appeared over Nanxiang County. At that time, we all felt our bottlenecks loosening, but unfortunately, the phenomenon disappeared too quickly."

As soon as this is said, the other three nod simultaneously, their faces showing regret.

Hua Changxi immediately perks up: "The phenomenon you mentioned is..."

Yu Fu and the four immediately speak one after another, describing the appearance of the Mirror of Laws and the scene of the Dao of the physical body manifesting in the mirror.

"It's not just us; all the body-refining cultivators in the Medical Department felt their physical shackles loosening."

After listening, Hua Changxi's heart is shaken.

Of course, she knows the 'celestial phenomenon' Yu Fu and the four mentioned was created by her. What shocks her is—she cultivated the Dao of the physical body, and it could actually benefit all body cultivators.

Is this a blessing of the Great Dao?

What a pity...

Hua Changxi feels some regret. If opening up the Dao of the physical body could really help all body-refining cultivators, that would be great merit. According to past experience, her cultivation speed would definitely skyrocket.

Unfortunately, her current cultivation is stagnant, and she cannot know how much her cultivation speed has increased.
