The Undead Divine Tree is a primordial being born at the very dawn of the universe's creation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To surpass an inheritance bestowed by the Divine Tree, does that not imply Hua Changxi obtained a medical lineage from the beginning of creation itself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that even possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While the Four Spirit Realm indeed separated from the primordial earth of the creation era, any inheritance from the beginning of creation would only be held in the hands of the Four Spirit Emperors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, the inheritances of the Four Emperors are stored solely within the four great Four Spirit Cities: Zhu Que, Qing Long, Bai Hu, and Xuan Wu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, let alone reaching the Four Spirit Cities, the passages between the Central Continent and the Four Directional Continents have not even been opened yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking to this point, Wen Shouren's expression grew even more serious: \"The Dragon Clan are the overlords of the seas; with the Dragon Clan causing trouble, who knows when the Central Continent will be able to exchange goods and interact freely with the Four Directional Continents.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Mingyi, being more optimistic, offered comfort: \"The full resurgence of spiritual energy has only occurred for ten or twenty years; let us not be too anxious, as worldly changes follow their own laws.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two were discussing in low voices, they heard a disciple cry out in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peak Master Hua's spiritual root treatment requires first manifesting the spiritual root, but none of us know how to manifest a spiritual root.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we cannot manifest spiritual roots, then the treatment methods she taught today regarding spiritual roots are also impossible for us to learn or perform.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, what should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think Peak Master Hua will teach everyone the method to manifest spiritual roots?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the expressions of everyone present changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deputy Hall Master Gu, perhaps you could ask Peak Master Hua on behalf of everyone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the call, Gu Jinfan glanced sideways at the speaking cultivator: \"One should be more grateful and less presumptuous.\" With that, she signaled for the crowd to disperse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Qihuang Hall No. 10 was left with just the disciples of Danyuan Peak and the Gu family cultivators did Gu Jinfan approach Ye Lingxuan and Jiang Henian; after exchanging a few pleasantries, she got straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The question raised by that cultivator just now is indeed a difficult one; may I boldly ask, will Peak Master Hua teach you how to manifest spiritual roots?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxuan looked at Gu Jinfan; considering she was the Deputy Hall Master of Qihuang Hall No. 10 and that the Peak Master seemed to have fully delegated authority, she hesitated slightly before answering: \"I do not know, but there are other methods to resolve the matter of manifesting spiritual roots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jinfan showed surprise: \"How can it be resolved?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxuan explained: \"Earlier, while Peak Master was treating the Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers' spiritual roots, another stone wall manifested, depicting scenes of using magical treasures to assist in manifesting spiritual roots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, when she saw the content displayed on the stone wall, she too was immensely surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For no other reason than that many things recorded on the stone wall were absent from the Dan Saint Hall's Library Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Henian's attention had previously been entirely focused on the medical techniques Hua Changxi performed, so he had not noticed the situation with the stone wall; he was also very surprised: \"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxuan nodded affirmatively and began to describe the patterns on the stone wall in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The murals record the preparations required before beginning spiritual root treatment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, prepare a Vitality Hanging Gourd (a bronze medicine pot that automatically mixes vitality water, with mist sprayed from its spout capable of stabilizing the physical body).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second, prepare a Manifestation Mirror (under the illumination of the Manifestation Mirror, a medical cultivator can see through the flesh to perceive the spiritual roots, dantian, and consciousness sea within the body).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third, activate the Spring-Return Banner (the banner surface is embroidered with a hundred herbs; when waved, it releases healing spiritual energy to accelerate post-operative recovery).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fourth, arrange a Spirit-Gathering Formation (laid beneath the operating table to gather heavenly and earthly spiritual energy to replenish the medical cultivator's consumption).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifth, arrange an Isolation Formation (surrounding the operating room on all sides to prevent interference from external forces or objects).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Ye Lingxuan's explanation, both Gu Jinfan and Jiang Henian eagerly wished to see that stone wall immediately, but unfortunately, with Hua Changxi absent and without the Qihuang Token, the carvings on the wall could not be revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the pre-operative preparation process mentioned on the stone wall was not as intuitive as Hua Changxi's method of directly manifesting the injured party's spiritual root, it still provided medical cultivators with a method to visually inspect spiritual roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jinfan looked at Ye Lingxuan and Jiang Henian: \"What do you two think? Besides the carvings on the stone wall, could Qihuang Hall possibly harbor other undiscovered functions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Detecting the probing tone in Gu Jinfan's voice, Ye Lingxuan and Jiang Henian merely looked at her without speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jinfan smiled and continued on her own: \"Do not laugh at me, but I always feel that Qihuang Hall's significance to the Dan Saint Hall must extend beyond merely leaving behind some murals; although these murals are precious, they are insufficient to demonstrate Qihuang Hall's true status and importance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peak Master Hua is wholly devoted to medical arts and the Dao of Alchemy and may not have considered other aspects; since you two enjoy Peak Master Hua's deep trust, perhaps you could remind her that Qihuang Hall likely possesses other undiscovered functions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though I have some selfish motives, this is also for the good of the Dan Saint Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Gu Jinfan bid farewell to Ye and Jiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her walk away, Ye Lingxuan frowned and said: \"Although I do not know what scheme Gu Jinfan is plotting, her words reminded me of a miscellaneous notebook I once read in the Forbidden Land's Library Pavilion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That notebook was written by a miscellaneous labor disciple, and it mentioned Qihuang Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He wrote that he wished to enter Qihuang Hall to study the Dao of Alchemy and medical arts; if he could enter, even for just one month of study, once his labor contract ended and he left the Sacred Land, he could become an ordinary medical cultivator in some small market towns.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Henian asked in surprise: \"Study within Qihuang Hall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxuan nodded: \"Judging by that miscellaneous labor disciple's tone, Qihuang Hall does indeed seem to be a place for study.\" She then looked at Jiang Henian, \"Do you think I should mention this matter to the Peak Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Henian replied: \"...I think it is worth a try; perhaps, thanks to our reminder, we might truly discover other functions of Qihuang Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1583,"2026-06-12T02:51:24.126Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","3c702fd0967e5e29b7b0ac20222d64ac04af007d7fef5ce14fa74a9269f28426","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-447","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-445",558,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-cover.jpg"]
