Do you believe that Peak Master Hua from Dan Sheng Hall could be our Hall Master?\" The Battalion Commanders' gazes all converged on Hua Changxi, who was constantly moving back and forth among the medical tents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Guichen hesitated, shaking his head: \"I cannot be certain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yuheng looked at him: \"Then what is your impression of this Peak Master Hua?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Guichen thought for a moment before saying: \"How should I put it? She is an upright person, without any twists or turns; somewhat domineering, yet also very straightforward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Battalion Commander, Xie Hanjiang, interjected: \"I do not think she is the Hall Master; we should not believe the rumors circulating outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yuheng shook her head: \"Where there is smoke, there is fire; rumors do not arise from nowhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Hanjiang asked in puzzlement: \"I just cannot figure it out; why does the Hall Master not reveal her identity? With her strength, there is absolutely no need for concealment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Guichen's gaze sharpened as he cut off the conversation: \"Do not use your own thoughts and standpoint to speculate on matters concerning the Hall Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after guiding all the physicians of the Dansheng Hall did Hua Changxi gain some free time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Zhu Que Army soldiers sitting cross-legged beneath the Fire Lotus, expelling ghost qi, her brows remained tightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using spirit needles to seal ghost qi within the skin's surface layer has its limitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method can only help patients with mild ghost qi erosion; for those whose ghost qi has penetrated the dantian, golden core, or nascent soul, it is impossible to use spirit needles to extract and seal the ghost qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For no other reason than that, according to the acupuncture techniques she currently masters, spirit needles simply cannot 'penetrate' deep enough into the dantian to perform acupuncture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be known that although the dantian lies within the body, it belongs to a 'separate space'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from their physical bodies, cultivators possess two 'separate spaces': one is the dantian, and the other is the spiritual platform and sea of consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailments of the physical body are easy to resolve, but what of pathologies within the 'separate spaces'?
