However, while imprisoned in the Ghost Prison, the Ghost King once asked me to refine a seventh-grade artifact; although I ultimately failed to complete it due to a lack of materials, the semi-finished product I produced was above sixth-grade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi listened with a face full of suspicion: \"You, a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, can refine seventh-grade artifacts? Are you trying to fool me into thinking I don't understand artifact refining?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan snorted: \"Do you know what a refining genius is?\" acting as if Hua Changxi was ignorant of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi looked at him and fell into thought, silently calculating in her heart, then said: \"I will help you remove the ghost nails from your nascent soul, and adding to that the grace of saving you from the Ghost Realm, you refine military equipment for the Zhu Que Army for one hundred years, and we will be even.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan felt somewhat exhausted hearing this: \"Hall Master Hua, to save that boy, you gave a Ghost Fire Token and Xuanhuang Fruits; why have you become so stingy when it comes to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi looked at him expressionlessly: \"Setting aside the fact that I could escape heavenly punishment and leave the Ghost Realm entirely thanks to Jing Sheng; just consider that Jing Sheng, by his own strength, guarded the Ghost Fire Well, preventing ghost qi and ghost fire from spilling into the human world; based solely on this merit of sacrificing himself to protect the world, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, how can you compare yourself to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but ultimately found he had nothing to say, so he could only keep his head down in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him like this, Hua Changxi did not urge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, matters here at the Ghost Fire Well were considered settled for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This batch of Zhu Que Army soldiers under Fang Zhuyue guarded the Ghost Fire Well, cultivating the 'Crimson Nether Flame Prison' while healing their injuries; Jing Sheng's injuries had also stabilized and were in the process of repair, so she no longer needed to watch over him; that group of rogue cultivators had been handed over to Song Weimin to manage...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi's gaze fell upon Gongshu Xingyan once more: \"I am taking Song Weimin to take over Nanxiang County; afterwards, I will be in closed-door cultivation to heal my injuries for a period, so you stay here and think it over properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope that the next time I come over, you will have made up your mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Hua Changxi about to leave and subsequently enter closed-door cultivation to heal, Gongshu Xingyan immediately became anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not some ignorant youth; having suffered heavenly punishment, his injuries were certainly severe, and heaven knows how long Hua Changxi would need to remain in closed-door cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree to your terms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't it just refining military equipment for the Zhu Que Army for one hundred years? He would do it; now that he was back in the human world at least, even if the situation worsened, it couldn't be as bad as when he was trapped in the Ghost Prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him agree, Hua Changxi immediately broke into a smile: \"Don't wear such a stern face; rest assured, I am someone who never treats my own people poorly; as long as you refine artifacts well for the Zhu Que Army, I will not shortchange you on cultivation resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Hua Changxi gave some instructions to Fang Zhuyue, telling him to guard the Ghost Fire Well well, and then she took Gongshu Xingyan out of the Nine-Layered Prison Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they emerged, Hua Changxi quickly took out the Fortune Doll Mask and put it on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the corners of Gongshu Xingyan's mouth twitched violently: \"This is...\" What kind of mask is that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi pointed to the batch of rogue cultivators outside the tower: \"They have all taken the Wangchen Pill and have forgotten about seeing me; now I cannot let them see my face again, as I do not wish to leak my identity information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan found it hard to watch: \"You are, after all, the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall; do you not possess a single decent mask artifact?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi: \"...I enjoy wearing this kind of mask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan glanced sideways again at the ceremonial robe Hua Changxi was wearing, his face full of disdain; seeing Song Weimin not far away who already had over three hundred subordinates under his command, he felt it necessary to build a good relationship with Hua Changxi, so he suddenly flipped his right hand, producing a set of white ceremonial robes and a white mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the ceremonial robes and mask handed over, Hua Changxi was very surprised, yet her hand shot out quickly: \"The Ghost Clan didn't confiscate your storage artifact?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan snorted; the Ghost Clan had wanted to confiscate it, but how could they know he had already refined his right thumb into a storage treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not answer, but Hua Changxi did not mind, her attention fully focused on the ceremonial robes and mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ceremonial robes and mask were clearly a set; as soon as she touched them, she felt they were extraordinary, at least far better than the fourth-grade ceremonial robes Tong Yao had given her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the color was white, which she did not particularly like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if knowing her thoughts, Gongshu Xingyan spoke: \"This set of ceremonial robes and mask, I have named 'Follows the Heart'; as the name implies, the color, patterns, and style of the robes and mask change according to one's will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi widened her eyes, her face full of suspicion: \"Isn't that exaggerating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Xingyan snorted: \"Try it and you'll know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Hua Changxi hesitated no longer; with a gentle wave of her fair hand and her sleeves fluttering, the ceremonial robes automatically draped over her body like flowing water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind stirred slightly, conjuring an image of a blooming red lotus in her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the originally plain ceremonial robes turned crimson, and upon the skirt, layers of lotus patterns spontaneously formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As spiritual power circulated, Hua Changxi, wearing the robes, seemed like a red lotus blooming in the wind, delicate and dripping with beauty, while a faint fragrance of lotus flowers lingered in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of surprise flashed through Hua Changxi's eyes, and then her thoughts shifted again, bringing to mind the Zhu Que spiritual shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the ceremonial robes instantly became radiant and colorful, interweaving crimson and gold, as a lifelike pattern of Zhu Que slowly emerged, its wings spread as if ready to fly, its divine charm natural and heavenly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1599,"2026-06-12T02:51:24.126Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","759c2ab60306a7109c9d903f397c8d11403cbd5006e394a1f28d31597efe145e","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-476","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-474",558,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-cover.jpg"]
