Because Hua Changxi would help Du Ruo pull medicinal materials to the second office every day, Du Ruo turned a blind eye to the fact that Hua Changxi got up late and ignored it.

Thus, Hua Changxi's days in the menial service hall became regular.

He got up at Si time in the morning, then went to the warehouse to find Yu Hui to get dozens of medicinal herbs and took them back to the Sixth Bureau for cleaning; in the afternoon, after cleaning his own 500 herbs, he first went to the Second Office to report, and then helped Du Ruola with the herbs; he went to bed on time at Xu time, and then began to practice.

Time flies, ten days have passed.

[Realm: Qi Training Realm 108/1000]
[Commentary on the Hundred Herbs (Perfect): Tasting Hundred Herbs 1101/10000]
[Immortality (Perfect): Cleansing Medicinal Materials 6022/10000]
Over the course of ten days, all data have been steadily improving.

During this period, when the number of herbs tasted exceeded 1000, a voice sounded in Hua Changxi's mind again: The chapter on magical plants in "Commentary on the Classic of Herbs" has begun.

The chapter on divine plants is more advanced than the chapter on spiritual plants. It records all kinds of plants, monsters, and spiritual treasures that can enhance, weaken, consume, consolidate, and repair the primordial spirit.

At the same time, the types of divine plants are much fewer than those of spiritual plants. There are at least tens of thousands of things recorded in the spiritual plant chapter, while there are only a few thousand things recorded in the divine plant chapter.

"I haven't even seen a single spiritual plant yet, and a divine plant has appeared again."

Hua Changxi was amazed at the profoundness of the cultivation path. At the same time, his desire to quickly improve his realm became stronger and stronger.

As long as her realm is high enough, she will definitely be able to completely open the door to cultivation.

When entering the workplace for the first time, newcomers will always be bullied.

Among the people in the same dormitory, there are friendly people like Lu Qingluo, but there are also people who can't stand Hua Changxi going to bed early and getting up late, and are hostile to her.

"What a dead pig! She can still sleep so soundly even though we are talking so loudly!"

The person who spoke was a young lady named Wang Yunchu.

Among the female servants in the servant hall, the ratio of married women to unmarried girls is about 50-50.

Generally speaking, in each dormitory, older and more experienced women have more say. But in the dormitory for ten people where Hua Changxi lives, because there are seven young ladies and only three women, the two sides form their own groups, and the young ladies outnumber the women.

Among the young ladies, Wang Yunchu has a stronger personality and is more willing to stand up when something happens, so she becomes the first person to make decisions.

Hua Changxi was indifferent to everyone in the dormitory except Lu Qingluo. Two days ago, when Wang Yunchu saw Hua Changxi helping Lu Qingluo wash medicinal herbs again, he asked her to help him wash some. Unexpectedly, Hua Changxi flatly refused.

This refusal would offend Wang Yunchu.

"Why is the room so messy?"

After a busy day, Wang Yunchu was hungry and tired. When he returned to the room, he saw Hua Changxi sleeping soundly. Wang Yunchu, who was already dissatisfied with Hua Changxi, became even more dissatisfied. Seeing that the room was not cleaned and everyone's clothes were piled everywhere, he immediately found a reason to explode.

"Hua Changxi, get up!"

Seeing Wang Yunchu calling out to Hua Changxi, Lu Qingluo quickly tried to reconcile them, "Sister Yunchu, Changxi is still young."

Wang Yunchu interrupted her: "What do you mean by small? Everyone in the errand hall is a errand boy. She is small, but we didn't ask her to be a errand boy."

As he said that, he walked to Hua Changxi's bed, stretched out his hand, and directly pulled open Hua Changxi's quilt. Seeing that she was not awake yet, he began to shake Hua Changxi's body with his hands.

Hua Changxi was immersed in the satisfaction of being wrapped in the warm current when breathing in and out, when suddenly, he felt his body shaking, and the warm current flowing in his body began to become unstable.

"Hua Changxi, get up, don't play dead. I'm telling you, this is not your home, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Yunchu saw Hua Changxi's eyes suddenly open, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, shooting towards him like a sharp sword.

Before Wang Yunchu could recover from Hua Changxi's cold and sharp eyes, the next moment, Wang Yunchu found that the world began to spin, and then, he felt severe pain in his arms and body.

"Ah~"

On the earthen kang, Hua Changxi stood in a bow stance. Wang Yunchu was almost thrown onto the kang by her arm. At this moment, her right hand was twisted behind her back and her lower back was pressed tightly by her knee.

At this moment, Hua Changxi had an indifferent expression and the coldness in her eyes did not look like a girl in her teens at all, which made people in the room feel uneasy.

"Why do you disturb my sleep?" Hua Changxi's voice was cold as he pushed Wang Yunchu's twisted arm towards his head, while increasing the strength in his hands.

"Ah~"

Worried that her screams would attract the attention of people in the next room, Hua Changxi grabbed the pillowcase and stuffed it into her mouth as soon as Wang Yunchu screamed.

"Woooooo~"

With his arms twisted and his body pressed down, Wang Yunchu was in so much pain that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Hua Changxi looked at Wang Yunchu expressionlessly, then glanced at the other people in the room: "Still yelling?"

Wang Yunchu cried "woooo" and shook his head rapidly.

Hua Changxi loosened his grip and pulled the pillowcase out of Wang Yunchu's mouth: "Tell me, why did you disturb my sleep?"

Wang Yunchu did not answer, but shouted: "Hua Changxi, let me go!"

Seeing her like this, Hua Changxi sneered and increased the strength in his hands again.

"Ah, I'll tell you."

Wang Yunchu gave in, and when Hua Changxi relaxed his strength, he said unconfidently: "You didn't clean the room, I came to remind you to clean it."

Hua Changxi's eyes turned cold again, and he snorted, "If I remember correctly, I just cleaned the house the day before yesterday. There were ten people in the house, and each person cleaned for a day. How come it's my turn now?"

Wang Yunchu: "You go back to your room so early every day. The rest of us are almost busy until dark. Since you come back first, can't you share more of the cleaning work?"

"Besides, you're still a newcomer."

"Go ask other dormitories, which room has a new person? Aren't they responsible for all the cleaning tasks for the first two months?"

Hua Changxi sneered: "Who are you to me? Why should I share with you the things that you should have done?"

"Also, the other newcomers are responsible for all the cleaning because they count on the help of the elderly. Have you ever helped me with anything?"

"You want to gain something without paying anything. You shouldn't be doing chores here. You should go home and be the ancestors."

Hua Changxi pushed Wang Yunchu away.

As soon as Wang Yunchu was free, he immediately climbed off the kang and quickly moved away from Hua Changxi.

Hua Changxi sat on the kang and looked at the people in the room: "I don't like bullying others, and I don't like being bullied even more. If anyone bullies me, I will pay them back tenfold."

"It's not easy for everyone to work in the errand hall. I know you're working hard, but your hardship is not caused by me. Don't vent your accumulated anger on me."

"I have a bad temper, so don't try to bully me just because I'm young."

"Remember, don't bother me again, especially don't disturb my sleep."

Her physical condition has improved a lot due to her practice, but she still feels tired after working. She is not a saint, and she has no obligation or desire to help others for free.

In order to integrate into the group, she doesn't mind doing more things, but the prerequisite is that she is willing to do so. She is quite disgusted by Wang Yunchu's idea that she should do more as a matter of course because she is capable.

After that, Hua Changxi didn't say anything else. He threw aside the pillowcase that had been used to block Wang Yunchu's mouth with disgust, lay down on the bed again, closed his eyes and started practicing again.

When the other people in the room saw Hua Changxi's rage, he just continued to sleep as if nothing had happened, and there was a strange look on their faces.

"Hurry up and pack up and go to bed."

The people in the room patted Wang Yunchu on the shoulder to comfort him, and the voices in the room were deliberately lowered.

Wang Yunchu looked at Hua Changxi's sleeping face, with anger and fear in his eyes.
