Chapter 446: Place of Cultivation

After Hua Changxi explained the damage to the spiritual roots of the ten Demon-Suppressing Soldiers on the spot, she performed corresponding treatments based on the legacy content within the "Creation Hand (Repair)."

The entire process was silent, yet filled with a majestic rhythm of life.

Everyone present watched without blinking.

"Regarding damage to spiritual roots, the core of a physician's treatment focuses mainly on restoring the activity of the spiritual roots, clearing blocked channels, and recovering the connection between the spiritual roots and the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth."

Among the ten Demon-Suppressing Soldiers, only the one whose spiritual root had been eroded away and required the Spiritual Root Continuation Technique needed to remain at Qihuang Pavilion No. 10 to continue receiving treatment. The spiritual root injuries of the others were repaired on the spot; they only needed to return and recuperate for a period of time to fully recover.

As the last Demon-Suppressing Soldier received spiritual root repair, Hua Changxi put away the "Creation Hand" divine ability.

Performing spiritual root repairs on ten people in succession consumed a large amount of Hua Changxi's energy and spiritual power: "Alright, the observation and study end here." As she spoke, she rubbed her throbbing temples and walked out of the treatment room.

The crowd watched her leave, and only after she exited Qihuang Pavilion No. 10 did they erupt into intense discussion.

"To directly manifest a person's spiritual roots..."

Wen Shouren looked at Liu Mingyi beside him: "Have you ever seen such a method in the Forbidden Land's Library Pavilion?"

Liu Mingyi shook his head. He had memorized every medical legacy preserved in the Pill Saint Hall's forbidden land, and there was no record of manifesting a person's spiritual roots: "What Hua Changxi displayed should be a divine ability."

Wen Shouren stroked his chin: "Such a profound method, not even recorded by the Pill Saint Hall—where did Hua Changxi learn it from?"

Liu Mingyi: "The Great Elders have long speculated that Hua Changxi likely inherited a medical and alchemy legacy that transcends the Holy Land's own."

Wen Shouren was truly puzzled: "In the entire Four Spirits Realm, as far as medicine and alchemy are concerned, who could surpass the Pill Saint Hall?" He paused, "Could it be that Hua Changxi inherited a legacy from outside the realm?"

Liu Mingyi: "That possibility is not non-existent."

Wen Shouren shook his head, feeling that this possibility was too slim: "The Pill Saint Hall's legacy was bestowed by the Undying Divine Tree. The Undying Divine Tree is a primordial creature born at the beginning of the universe's creation."

"To surpass a legacy bestowed by the Divine Tree—doesn't that mean the legacy Hua Changxi obtained is a medical legacy from the beginning of creation?"

"Is this possible?"

"The Four Spirits Realm is indeed a realm separated from the primordial land of the creation era. Even if there were a legacy from the beginning of creation, it would only be held by the Four Spirits Emperors."

"And the legacy of the Four Emperors would only be stored in the four great Four Spirits Cities: Zhu Que, Qing Long, Bai Hu, and Xuan Wu."

"Right now, let alone going to the Four Spirits Cities, the channels between the Central Continent and the Four Directions Continent haven't even been opened yet."

Speaking of this, Wen Shouren's expression became more serious: "The Dragon Clan is the hegemon of the seas. With the Dragon Clan causing trouble, who knows how long it will be before the Central Continent and the Four Directions Continent can exchange goods and interact."

Liu Mingyi was more positive and comforted him: "The full recovery of spiritual Qi has only been going on for ten or twenty years. Let's not be too anxious; the changes in worldly affairs have their own patterns."

The two were discussing in low voices when they heard a disciple exclaim.

"The spiritual root treatment initiated by Peak Master Hua requires manifesting the spiritual roots first, but none of us know how to manifest spiritual roots."

"If we don't know how to manifest spiritual roots, then we can't learn or perform the spiritual root treatment methods she taught today."

"That's right, what should we do?"

"Do you think Peak Master Hua will teach everyone how to manifest spiritual roots?"

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed.

"Vice Pavilion Master Gu, why don't you go and ask Peak Master Hua for everyone?"

Gu Jinfan heard the call and glanced sideways at the cultivator who spoke: "In life, one should be more grateful and less pushy." After saying this, she signaled that everyone could disperse.

When only the disciples of Pill Origin Peak and the Gu family cultivators remained in Qihuang Pavilion No. 10, Gu Jinfan walked toward Ye Lingxuan and Jiang Henian. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she got to the point.

"The question raised by that cultivator just now is indeed a difficult one. May I ask, will Peak Master Hua teach you how to manifest spiritual roots?"

Ye Lingxuan looked at Gu Jinfan. Thinking that she was the Vice Pavilion Master of Qihuang Pavilion No. 10 and that the Peak Master had a completely hands-off attitude, she hesitated for a moment before saying: "I don't know, but there are other ways to solve the matter of manifesting spiritual roots."

Gu Jinfan looked surprised: "How to solve it?"

Ye Lingxuan: "Earlier, when the Peak Master was treating the spiritual roots of the Demon-Suppressing Soldiers, another stone wall manifested, depicting the scene of using magic treasures to help people manifest spiritual roots."

To be honest, when she saw the content presented on the stone wall, she was also incredibly surprised.

For no other reason than that many things recorded on the stone wall were not in the Pill Saint Hall's Library Pavilion.

Jiang Henian's attention had been entirely on the medical methods Hua Changxi displayed, and he hadn't noticed the situation on the stone wall at all, so he was also very surprised: "Really?"

Ye Lingxuan nodded affirmatively and began to describe the patterns on the stone wall in detail.

"The mural records the preparations before the spiritual root treatment begins."

"First, prepare the Life-Sustaining Gourd (a bronze medicine gourd that can automatically dispense life-force water; the mist sprayed from the spout can stabilize the physical body)."

"Second, prepare the Manifestation Mirror (under the illumination of the Manifestation Mirror, a medical cultivator can penetrate the physical body and see the spiritual roots, dantian, and sea of consciousness within)."

"Third, activate the Spring-Returning Banner (the banner surface is embroidered with a hundred herbs; when shaken, it releases healing spiritual Qi to accelerate post-operative recovery)."

"Fourth, set up a Spirit-Gathering Array (placed under the operating table to gather heaven and earth spiritual Qi to replenish the medical cultivator's consumption)."

"Fifth, set up an Isolation Array (placed around the operating room to prevent interference from external forces or objects)."

Listening to Ye Lingxuan's explanation, Gu Jinfan and Jiang Henian both wanted to see that stone wall immediately. Unfortunately, Hua Changxi was not there, and without the Qihuang Order, it was impossible to reveal the carvings on the stone wall.

Although the pre-operative preparation process mentioned on the stone wall was not as intuitive as Hua Changxi directly manifesting the patient's spiritual roots, it could be considered a way for medical cultivators to observe spiritual roots with the naked eye.

Gu Jinfan looked at Ye Lingxuan and Jiang Henian: "Do you two think that besides the carvings on the stone wall, Qihuang Pavilion might have other undiscovered functions?"

Hearing the probing tone in Gu Jinfan's voice, Ye Lingxuan and Jiang Henian just looked at her without speaking.

Gu Jinfan smiled and said to herself: "I'm not afraid of you two laughing at me, but I always feel that Qihuang Pavilion is definitely more than just leaving behind some murals for the Pill Saint Hall. Although these murals are very precious, they are not enough to show the status and importance of Qihuang Pavilion."

"Peak Master Hua is entirely focused on medicine and alchemy and may not have thought in other directions. You two have the deep trust of Peak Master Hua, so you can remind her that Qihuang Pavilion should have other undiscovered functions."

"Although I have some selfish motives, it is also for the good of the Pill Saint Hall."

After saying this, Gu Jinfan bid farewell to Ye and Jiang.

Watching her walk away, Ye Lingxuan frowned and said: "Although I don't know what Gu Jinfan is planning, her words reminded me of a miscellaneous note I saw in the Forbidden Land's Library Pavilion."

"That note was written by a handyman disciple, and it mentioned Qihuang Pavilion."

"He said he wanted to enter Qihuang Pavilion to study alchemy and medicine. As long as he could enter, even if he only studied for a month, after his handyman contract ended and he left the Holy Land, he could become an ordinary medical cultivator in some small market."

Jiang Henian was surprised after hearing this: "Studying in Qihuang Pavilion?"

Ye Lingxuan nodded: "Judging by the tone of that handyman disciple, Qihuang Pavilion does seem to be a place for study." As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Henian, "Do you think I should tell the Peak Master about this?"

Jiang Henian: "... I think it's worth a try. Perhaps, because of our reminder, we might really discover other functions of Qihuang Pavilion." ===== CHAPTER 447 =====
