Since the Peak Master is not concerned about Qihuang Hall's other functions, perhaps we can obtain good news from other hall masters instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxuan held little hope regarding this: \"During this period, hasn't Hall Master Meng, along with cultivators from the Xia and Wu families, been busy at Qihuang Hall Number Twelve?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apart from the initial reaction from the Qihuang Token, there has been no movement since; if we rely on other hall masters to explore Qihuang Hall's functions, who knows how many years it will take to get clear results.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Henian said: \"Although Hall Master Meng's progress is somewhat slow, the fact that the Qihuang Token reacted at least indicates their direction of exploration is correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of Hall Master Meng's gains, isn't Shen Qianfan, with imperial support, also beginning to verify whether Qihuang Hall Number Eleven specializes in content related to the dantian?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From my observations, other hall masters are also stirring with anticipation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regardless, the current situation is quite favorable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Qihuang Hall masters have all taken action, using their own methods to actively explore the secrets of Qihuang Hall; this is undoubtedly good for the Sacred Land.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I always feel we cannot... rely on the Peak Master for everything; that would not be beneficial for the development of the Sacred Land.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Ye Lingxuan reflected and agreed, so she said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two continued walking down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After her spiritual sense and spiritual energy had recovered, Hua Changxi went to Qihuang Hall Number Ten again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, instead of waiting for Gu Jinfan to bring the injured to her, she went directly to where Gu Jinfan was housing the patients to personally select those she would treat next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sweep of her Eye of Truth, she immediately selected those cultivators whose spiritual roots were damaged either by absorbing impure spiritual energy or by demon qi invasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is going on with these Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers? How did they absorb so much demon qi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi looked at Gu Jinfan, who had hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jinfan said in a low voice: \"These people are garrison troops stationed in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains; in recent years, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains have been very unstable, with constant large and small battles between the garrison and the demon races.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi frowned: \"Are the demon races very active?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jinfan nodded: \"The demon races have always wanted to encroach upon human territory; without the Demon-Suppressing Army and the Xuanyuan Army holding the line, many places would have been seized by the demon races.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Hua Changxi's mood grew somewhat grave; asking no further questions, she called out to the people she had previously selected: \"Follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bringing the injured to Qihuang Hall Number Ten, Hua Changxi entered the treatment room directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Creation Hand (Repair): 11\u002F]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Creation Hand (Repair): 100\u002F]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the last cultivator with impure spiritual energy was cured, Hua Changxi found that employing the Spiritual Root Dredging Technique, the Spiritual Root Debridement Technique, and the Spiritual Energy Purification Technique had become extremely effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since clearing impure energy from the spiritual roots had become simple, could she proceed to the next step—clearing impure energy from the dantian?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi sent a message to Yu Fu, asking him to inquire with the Lingguang Hall: she now had a method to clear the ghost qi from the Zhu Que soldiers' dantians, and asked if they were willing to accept treatment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Fu soon returned: \"Master, the Lingguang Hall is willing to undergo treatment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi hummed in acknowledgment: \"You and the other three, including Jia Lu, make preparations; while I go to treat the Zhu Que soldiers, you four will enter the Wutong Forest to cultivate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wutong Forest could stimulate bloodline retrogression, greatly helping Yu Fu and the other four to improve their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Fu's face lit up with joy, and he hurried off to notify Jia Lu and the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That very night, Hua Changxi took Yu Fu and the other four to the Lingguang Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not deliberately conceal this matter, nor did they publicly announce it; it was not until several days later, when spies embedded within the Zhu Que Army sent back reports, that people from the Dan Sheng Hall learned Hua Changxi had gone to treat the Zhu Que soldiers, using this as a condition to arrange for Yu Fu and the other four to cultivate in the Wutong Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the news, Shen Qianfan looked at the silent Chu Tianxun and the grim-faced Princess Lingyuan, feeling both satisfied and helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was the owner of the Qihuang Token, he could not make the decisions himself and could only obey the imperial family's arrangements and manipulation; regarding this, he felt helpless and powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jinfan was able to reach a cooperation with Hua Changxi because of Gu Jinfan's initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it came to the imperial family, they insisted on waiting for Hua Changxi to visit personally, hoping to seize the opportunity to demand more benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Hua Changxi had simply given up on seeking verification within Qihuang Hall Number Eleven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already confirmed that Qihuang Hall Number Ten focused on content related to spiritual roots; over at Qihuang Hall Number Twelve, after Meng Qingyao performed a series of treatments on cultivators with damaged golden cores, the Qihuang Token reacted, indicating that the focus of Qihuang Hall Number Twelve was researching cultivators' golden cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given this, the direction of focus for Qihuang Hall Number Eleven was most likely related to the dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that remaining batch of untreated Zhu Que soldiers in the Lingguang Hall happened to be cases where ghost qi had invaded the dantian, making them the most suitable subjects for unlocking the research potential of Qihuang Hall Number Eleven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Qihuang Hall at Number Ten, Tang Yufeng smiled as he looked at Gu Jinfan: \"You are the clever one; the imperial clan must be deeply regretting this by now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've realized that Hua Changxi is someone who yields to softness but resists hardness; if your attitude is soft enough, she won't go too far, but if you are forceful, she will certainly be even more unyielding than you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jinfan rolled her eyes: \"You are overthinking it; Hua Changxi simply cannot be bothered to haggle.\" The Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall has very precious time.\u003C\u002Fp>",1501,"2026-06-12T02:51:24.126Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","917bc1baa33776318097715cc188c8156034d850e126a674d902a937e88be809","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-448","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-446",558,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-cover.jpg"]
