Chapter 448: One Hundred Thousand Zhu Que Soldiers

Clearing mixed Qi from spiritual roots and clearing mixed Qi from the dantian were not on the same level of workload. Coupled with the large number of Zhu Que soldiers whose dantians were invaded by ghost Qi, Hua Changxi worked day and night for three full months before clearing all the ghost Qi from the bodies of the Zhu Que soldiers.

As for other damage caused by ghost Qi erosion, they could only take corresponding pills for repair and recuperation.

Now, only Yang Zhaoye's injury remained unresolved.

Hua Changxi "watched" the Nascent Soul in Yang Zhaoye's dantian bound by ghost Qi chains, her brows slightly furrowed.

She had tried to use the repair methods in the "Creation Hand" legacy to clear the ghost Qi chains, but unfortunately, they all failed.

Before this, she had always felt that the ghost Qi chains were a form of attack that would damage the Nascent Soul bit by bit.

But after Yang Zhaoye's Nascent Soul was manifested, she observed it carefully and found that the damage caused by the ghost Qi chains to his Nascent Soul was not significant; instead, it looked more like a form of "punishment."

Just like in real life, putting chains on someone is to restrict their freedom, and putting chains on a Nascent Soul is to restrict the Nascent Soul's cultivation.

Restricting cultivation is undoubtedly a punishment for a cultivator.

Ghost Qi chains...

Chains...

Punishment...

The figure of the boy Jingsheng with the underworld eyes from the righteous villa, as well as the boy's "chain" bloodline totem, suddenly appeared in Hua Changxi's mind.

Is there a connection between the ghost Qi chains and Jingsheng's chain totem?

Do these two exist in some kind of connection with the Ghost Fire Well?

Hua Changxi suppressed the thoughts in her heart and looked at Yang Zhaoye, who was clearly nervous and uneasy in front of her: "Your injury is a bit special, and I can't solve it for the time being."

"Before the ghost Qi chains are resolved, you should polish your physical body more."

Although he had been mentally prepared, Yang Zhaoye still couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard that his injury could not be cured.

Seeing Yun You looked at him with concern and patted his shoulder in comfort.

After Hua Changxi discussed with Seeing Yun You about arranging for the Pill Saint Hall disciples to enter the Wutong Forest for cultivation as soon as possible, she prepared to leave.

Yang Zhaoye didn't know what he was thinking, but when Hua Changxi left, he suddenly said: "The affairs of the Discipline Hall are now being handled by several vice managers."

After hearing this, Hua Changxi raised her eyebrows and then nodded in agreement: "That's best. You can recuperate with peace of mind."

After sending Hua Changxi away, Seeing Yun You looked at Yang Zhaoye: "Why did you report the administrative arrangements of Ling Guang Hall to Peak Master Hua?" Do you really think she is the Hall Master?

Yang Zhaoye rubbed his forehead without answering. To be honest, he himself was a bit confused; it seemed like he just had a hot head and blurted it out.

Without either of them noticing, Hua Changxi, who should have left Ling Guang Hall, appeared in the main hall of Ling Guang Hall.

The reason she returned here was because of the vibration of the "Zhu Que Soldier Roster."

Just when Hua Changxi was clearing ghost Qi for the Zhu Que soldiers, the number of Zhu Que soldiers on the "Zhu Que Soldier Roster" reached one hundred thousand!

Hua Changxi turned her palm, and the "Zhu Que Soldier Roster" appeared in her palm.

The "Zhu Que Soldier Roster" was vibrating and continuously emitting a blood-red, crystalline light.

The light shone on her body, causing all the blood in Hua Changxi's body to boil, as if a black hole had appeared in her body, crazily wanting to devour.

This feeling was not unfamiliar. When she obtained the Zhu Que essence blood given to her by Great Elder Huo Jinglei of the Artifact Saint Palace, she had the same hungry reaction.

The blood-red light condensed rapidly. Before long, a blood-red amber bead appeared above the "Zhu Que Soldier Roster." Inside the bead, a sleeping mini Zhu Que was sealed.

"It really is Zhu Que essence blood!"

Hua Changxi opened her mouth wide in surprise. She really didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected joy after recruiting one hundred thousand Zhu Que soldiers.

Obtaining a drop of Zhu Que essence blood was certainly gratifying, but Hua Changxi soon noticed the abnormality on the "Zhu Que Soldier Roster." She found that the names of a batch of Zhu Que soldiers were very dim.

Before this, she had always thought that this batch of people with dim names were the batch of Zhu Que soldiers who had been attacked by ghost Qi, but after her treatment, the brightness of those Zhu Que soldiers' names had obviously increased.

But the batch of names she saw at this moment were still dim.

And the number didn't match.

Hua Changxi's eyes flickered constantly, and she had a guess in her heart.

This batch of Zhu Que soldiers with dim names should be the ones who went missing earlier. They are not dead yet!

"Not dead..."

Hua Changxi's eyes sharpened. Those people were nine times out of ten still trapped in the Ghost Fire Well!!!

Thinking of the Ghost Fire Well, Hua Changxi looked at the Zhu Que essence blood in her hand. After pondering for a moment, she took out a communication device to notify the manager of the Transmission Hall to suspend the recruitment of new Zhu Que soldiers, and then directly used the Hall Master's authority to close the gate of the Transmission Hall.

Afterwards, after Hua Changxi left Ling Guang Hall, she did not return directly to the Pill Saint Hall, but went to the Wutong Forest first. As soon as she arrived at the Wutong Forest, Die Wu found her.

"Master, you are here!"

Hua Changxi looked at Die Wu and gave her a storage ring: "I have two tasks for you."

"First, from now on, every month, you must make a trip to Ling Guang Hall and Li Huo Cliff."

"You go to the logistics department of Ling Guang Hall first to collect the monthly salary and cultivation resources for the artifact-refining cultivators of Li Huo Cliff, and then send them to Li Huo Cliff to hand them over to the person in charge."

"Second, Wutong wood is the main material for refining Zhu Que spears. From now on, you must regularly send Wutong wood to Li Huo Cliff."

After hearing this, Die Wu said happily: "Die Wu guarantees to complete the task."

After explaining the tasks, Hua Changxi looked Die Wu up and down and smiled: "Your cultivation has improved again."

Die Wu was also very happy about this: "The Wutong Forest is a treasure land for the cultivation of fire-attribute creatures. Cultivating in here is several times faster than in the outside world, so strength naturally improves quickly."

Hua Changxi thought for a while and gave Die Wu a Zhu Que Order: "You are a demon race. When walking outside, if you encounter difficulties from human cultivators, take out the Zhu Que Order and tell them you are the guardian beast of the Wutong Forest."

When Die Wu heard this, her eyes lit up, and she jumped up happily.

The Phoenix clan had died so many demon race members and still couldn't seize the Wutong Forest, and she, having paid almost nothing (only needing to be loyal to the master), had become the guardian beast of the Wutong Forest. She was truly too lucky.

Hua Changxi shook her head with a smile as she watched her, her gaze sliding to Yu Fu and the other four who were cultivating on the outskirts of the Wutong Forest.

After three months of cultivation, the four not only improved their bloodline atavism, refined their bloodline divine abilities, but also entered the fifth level of blood-refining in body-refining. In the future, when they encounter Spirit Platform cultivators, they won't have to be afraid.

Hua Changxi took out the communication device, told the managers of Ling Guang Hall about Die Wu, and then left the Wutong Forest.

Afterwards, she went to the Zhu Rong Tomb, picked a batch of Zhu Rong stones, and then made a trip to Li Huo Cliff.

Hua Changxi met with several people in charge, gave them a batch of Zhu Rong stones for cultivation, and urged them to refine more military equipment.

After leaving Li Huo Cliff, Hua Changxi went to the Karma Fire Platform and the Nine Heavens Fire Spring to take a look.

Ling Guang Hall, Wutong Forest, Karma Fire Platform, Nine Heavens Fire Spring, Zhu Rong Tomb, Li Huo Cliff—the six major blessed lands, except for the Karma Fire Platform, the Zhu Que soldiers had already set foot in the other five blessed lands.

"Six blessed lands remain..."

Nirvana Pool, Sui Ren Valley, Red Flame Mountain, Fire Cloud Cave, Fire Rock Grotto, Ghost Fire Well!

Afterwards, Hua Changxi returned to the Pill Saint Hall to show her face, sent a message to Yu Fu and the other four, notifying them to return to sit in charge of Pill Origin Peak and Pill Peak, and then announced that she was going into seclusion to study methods for treating spiritual roots.

A moment later, Hua Changxi's figure appeared on the array stone cliff where the transmission stones were placed under the Transmission Hall of Ling Guang Hall.

Last time she absorbed the Zhu Que essence blood, the water in the hot spring dropped by a section. She knew that absorbing Zhu Que essence blood required sufficient fire spiritual Qi.

The magma fire sea under the transmission stone was no less rich in fire spiritual Qi than the one in Tang Gu.

Hua Changxi did not dawdle, swallowed the Zhu Que essence blood in one gulp, and then jumped into the magma fire sea. ===== CHAPTER 449 =====
