instead, they all wore expressions of deep contemplation, especially the other seven who held Qihuang Tokens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jinfan, hailing from the Duke of Xin's residence, always planned three steps ahead; long ago, rumors had even circulated claiming she possessed the ability of precognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to her precognitive abilities, the strength of the Duke of Xin's residence had become second to none among the nobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, her voluntary gift of the Qihuang Token to Hua Changxi was certainly worth pondering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that she had foreseen something and was making advance arrangements?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Secret Realm Masters could not openly discuss this matter, they soon parted ways and returned to their respective homes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back to the Qihuang Halls, Mu Qingying, Yuan Tianchou, Wen Lanzhou, and Huo Yunxiao walked together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four interacted frequently in daily life, and with their sect elders also maintaining close ties, their private relationships were quite good, leading them naturally into discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Tianchou asked, \"Why do you think Gu Jinfan would cede Qihuang Hall No. 10 to Hua Changxi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yunxiao smiled and replied, \"You are asking the wrong question; you should ask why Hua Changxi has her sights set on Qihuang Hall No. 10.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the four immediately exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Qingying was the first to break the silence: \"The alchemical arts and medical techniques specialized in by Halls No. 1 through No. 9 were all discovered by Hua Changxi; do you think it's possible she has discovered the teachings contained within Qihuang Hall No. 10?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Lanzhou strongly agreed with this speculation: \"Nine times out of ten, that must be the reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile appeared on Mu Qingying's face: \"If that is the case, it would undoubtedly be a great boon for Dan Sheng Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, Halls No. 1 through No. 9 arranged for instructors to give lectures every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, all nine Hall Masters were highly enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, they had discovered that disciples attending classes within the Qihuang Halls became more focused and engaged, finding it easier to comprehend medical arts and alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, giving lectures benefited the Hall Masters themselves—it could accelerate their cultivation speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This boost in cultivation speed was difficult to detect initially; the four of them had only noticed it during a casual conversation by chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so many years, the Hall Masters of Qihuang Halls No. 1 through No. 9 should have all gained a profound understanding of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stroking his chin, Huo Yunxiao said, \"Whether Hua Changxi has unlocked the teaching content of Qihuang Hall No. 10 will soon become clear; during this period, let us all pay closer attention to the activities at Qihuang Hall No. 10.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danyuan Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Yu Fu and the other three returned, they immediately went to the bamboo hut at the peak to report the contents of the Lingjing Pavilion meeting to Hua Changxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bound by the laws of the Sacred Land, even though each Secret Realm Master harbored private motives, everyone unanimously adhered to the overarching principle of 'Sacred Land First' and constructed a complete administrative system based on the 'Ancient Dan Sheng Hall Operational Framework.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most fiercely contested point among the Secret Realm Masters was who would specifically oversee the various administrative departments of the Sacred Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, since the Danyuan Secret Realm and the Danding Secret Realm hold the highest ranks, Jia Lu and I fought for supreme management authority over the 'Production Sector'; with us taking the lead and other Secret Realm Masters assisting, we have full authority to coordinate all affairs of the Lingjing Pavilion, Qihuang Pavilion, and Nine Streets Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding management authority over the 'Law Enforcement Sector,' excluding the Hall Master, the establishment of the Elder Hall (for adjudication), the Law Enforcement Hall (responsible for investigation and case acceptance), and the deployment of the Sacred Guard (responsible for arrests) are all being spearheaded by Pavilion Master Meng, with assistance from the Secret Realm Masters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The construction of the Mission Hall, Merit Hall, and Logistics Department within the 'Internal Affairs Sector'; the establishment of the Alchemy Academy and Medical Academy within the 'Academy Sector'; as well as foreign affairs and the founding of the Honglu Hall, have all been assigned to specific Secret Realm Masters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this meeting, every Secret Realm Master was allocated a department to lead, and everyone was reasonably satisfied with the outcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to the report from Yu Fu and the other three, Hua Changxi nodded to indicate she understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed that Secret Realm Masters who gained resources and status relying on the Divine Tree would not act recklessly; even with private motives, they would manage Dan Sheng Hall properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The discussion regarding the meeting thus concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Yu Fu and the other three, Hua Changxi asked about other matters: \"Do you still maintain contact with people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, all four of them smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Fu said, \"Thanks to Master's blessing, allowing us four to manage Danyuan Peak has directly elevated our status from the foot of the mountain to its summit; now, even if we did not wish to associate with our former contacts, those people would actively seek us out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Lu added with a smile, \"Indeed, those nobles who could once end our lives with a single word now go out of their way to curry favor with us; all of this is thanks to Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xi noted, \"The Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot no longer exist; all their former personnel have been incorporated into the Chu Family Army, newly established by the imperial court.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Hua Changxi asked directly, \"Can you get in touch with Pang Shaoyu of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Yu Fu and the other three nodded in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Fu asked, \"When does Master wish to meet Pang Shaoyu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi replied, \"Preferably today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Yu Fu immediately said, \"Master, please wait; I will contact him now, and we should receive a reply very soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Hua Changxi's approval, Yu Fu took out his Thought-Communication device and went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than a quarter of an hour later, Yu Fu returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I have contacted Pang Shaoyu; before the Embroidered Uniform Guard was merged into the Chu Family Army, he had already left the guard and is now merely a rogue cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi instructed, \"Ask him whether his uncle Chang Wei's spiritual roots have been healed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Fu immediately edited and sent the message, soon receiving a reply: \"No; Pang Shaoyu says his uncle has not cultivated for many years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi ordered, \"Tell them there is now an opportunity to repair his uncle's spiritual roots; ask if they are willing to come to Dan Sheng Hall to try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Add one more point: since the technique is not yet mature, we cannot guarantee the treatment's effectiveness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they are willing, we will cover all the costs of the treatment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Fu swiftly sent out the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Shaoyu's side responded just as quickly, replying directly with the two characters 'Willing,' and adding that they could come to the Dan Sheng Hall today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Hua Changxi instructed Yu Fu, \"Send someone to wait at the entrance of Dan Sheng Hall; once they arrive, bring them directly to Qihuang Hall Number Ten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them, including Yu Fu, naturally knew about Hua Changxi taking over Qihuang Hall Number Ten; if they had not understood the reason before, they now had some clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi pondered for a moment, then had Yu Fu summon Ye Lingxuan, Jiang Henian, and others who clearly surpassed other disciples in medical arts and the Dao of pills, telling them to wait at Qihuang Hall Number Ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for herself, she entered the storeroom of the Danyuan Secret Realm to select some prepared spiritual medicines capable of stabilizing the physical body and nourishing and repairing damaged spiritual roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The activities on Danyuan Peak had always been a focal point of attention for all factions within Dan Sheng Hall; the moment Yu Fu and the others made a move, everyone immediately took notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ye Lingxuan and the others were notified to go to Qihuang Hall Number Ten, they were also extremely surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when Wen Shouren sent them messages asking, 'What is happening?', they were completely baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not until Yu Fu personally led Chang Wei and Pang Shaoyu into Qihuang Hall Number Ten, and they learned that Chang Wei's spiritual roots were damaged due to injuries, rendering him unable to cultivate, that they began to guess the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outsiders also guessed a little and all wanted to enter Hall Number Ten to see exactly what Hua Changxi intended to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, shortly after Chang Wei and Pang Shaoyu arrived, Hua Changxi also entered Hall Number Ten, after which the main gate of Qihuang Hall Number Ten was closed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1672,"2026-06-12T02:51:24.126Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","29d3a07c61c8181f67bee903aec7937d0c62d0128d8e6eef9c469d37808d577f","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-440","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-438",558,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-cover.jpg"]
