Chapter 106, Bloodline Returns
Chapter 106, Bloodline Returns
After leaving Xu’s Pharmacy, Hua Changxi rode his somersault cloud directly to Wuzhi Mountain.
She now has the formula for elixirs that can stimulate the power of the blood totem, and wants to see if she can collect all the elixirs in the formula in Wuzhi Mountain.
"Fairy!"
"Owner!"
As soon as they arrived at the Thumb Peak, the mountain spirits and the Welcoming Pine sensed that Hua Changxi had returned and immediately came to greet him.
Hua Changxi smiled at the two little guys and asked, "How have you been doing recently?"
Shan Ling smiled and said, "We are fine." Then he began to boast, "Fairy, Xiao Song and I helped An Ze safely plant the spiritual rice. The spiritual rice will be ready for harvest in a little over a month."
Xiao Song also said: "Master, it was the mountain spirit and I who helped to set up the spirit gathering array and the spirit shield, and we also performed the spirit rain technique in the fields every few days."
Hua Changxi praised them generously: "You guys did a great job. Thank you for your hard work. I feel much more relaxed now that you guys are helping me keep an eye on things."
Shanling and Xiaosong both smiled, swayed their bodies and jumped and danced with joy.
Hua Changxi took Shan Ling and Xiao Song to the fields to pick spiritual rice, and happened to meet Anze and An Ran who were instructing the villagers to get rid of insects.
"Fairy, you are here!"
Seeing Hua Changxi, the brother and sister hurried forward.
Hua Changxi smiled at the two of them and said, "You are practicing very fast. You are already in the late stage of Qi training."
An Ran quickly smiled and replied: "We are cultivating so fast, firstly, the technique you gave us is good, secondly, we have the guidance of the mountain spirit and Xiao Song, and thirdly, the spiritual energy of Five Finger Mountain is too rich."
An Ze nodded: "Our training conditions are much better than those cultivators outside."
Speaking of cultivators, Hua Changxi asked, "Are there many cultivators entering and leaving Wuzhi Mountain during this period?"
Ever since she unlocked the Qihuang Hall and started teaching medicine in the Miscellaneous Hall, her daily practice speed has been increasing. It is impossible to tell whether the increase in speed comes from the incense from Wuzhi Mountain or from the preaching in the Miscellaneous Hall.
An Ran: "A lot. The number of monks has obviously increased a lot in the past two months."
Hua Changxi asked again: "Is anyone causing trouble?"
The Fire Lotus is only a deterrent to those who enter the Five Finger Mountain. Those who do not enter the Five Finger Mountain and stay outside the mountain will need the An Ze brothers and sisters to maintain stability.
This time when she came here, she found that houses were being renovated in many places outside Wuzhi Mountain.
An Ran replied: "There will be some, but my brother and I are both monks and can handle it."
An Ze followed up and said, "Fairy, there is something I need to report to you. As more and more people are coming to Wuzhi Mountain, I have discussed with several village chiefs in the surrounding area to build some inns."
"On the one hand, it can help the villagers increase their income, and on the other hand, it can provide a place for people who come to Wuzhi Mountain to rest."
Hua Changxi affirmed: "You are doing the right thing. I am not here to maintain stability outside Wuzhi Mountain. There are many places that I cannot take care of, and many things that I cannot think of. Thank you for keeping an eye on them."
As he spoke, he took out four communication talismans and gave them to Shan Ling, Xiao Song, An Ze and An Ran.
"If you have any questions in the future, you can contact me using the communication talisman."
The mountain spirit happily took the talisman and said, "Fairy, you can make talismans. There is a large area of talisman trees specially used for making talisman paper in the Wuzhi Peak of Wuzhi Mountain."
Hua Changxi shook his head: "I have too many things to do every day and I don't have time to learn how to make talismans."
In order to unlock the Qihuang Hall, she spent too much time on it, and even her alchemist level remained at the first grade, let alone learning other things.
Hua Changxi looked at An Ze An Ran and took out a handwritten copy of "Introduction to the Four Arts" and gave it to them: "This book is an introductory tutorial on alchemy, talisman making, weapon refining, and formation. You can take a look at it."
An Ran and An Ze happily took the "Introduction to the Four Arts" and said, "Thank you, Fairy. We will study hard."
Under the guidance of An Ran and An Ze, Hua Changxi looked at all the spiritual rice and also saw some other villagers during the period.
The Five Finger Mountain is rich in spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy that overflows can actually nourish the surrounding land. Many fields can be turned into spiritual fields after a little tidying up.
Hua Changxi thought for a moment, then said to An Ran and An Ze, "Do you still have the energy to teach the people around you how to pick and grow spiritual rice?"
Hearing this, An Ze and An Ran were both delighted: "We have the energy."
After becoming monks, their lives became much better, but other people in the village remained the same. When the brother and sister saw this, they wanted to help the villagers, but this was a selfish matter and they didn't dare to tell the fairy.
Hua Changxi: "If you have spare energy, you can teach the people around you how to pick and grow spiritual rice." After a pause, "The harvested spiritual rice can be put in the store and sold uniformly."
As he said this, he looked at An Ze An Ran and said, "Take some time to go into the city and see if there is a suitable shop. If there is one, just buy it. I want to open a grain shop specializing in selling spiritual rice and spiritual grains."
Hua Changxi directly gave An Ze and An Ran five thousand taels of silver notes and asked them to keep a good account.
"Teaching how to grow magical rice and grain, opening a shop, and maintaining stability outside the Five Fingers Mountain, all of these require manpower."
Hua Changxi looked at An Ze and An Ran: "Do you have anyone you particularly like who is suitable to follow us to do these things?"
An Ran nodded: "The villagers here are not afraid of hardship. They are all very grateful to the fairy and want to do things for her."
Hua Changxi thought for a moment, took out the spirit stone, handed it to Xiaosong, and said to An Ze calmly: "Go and call the villagers around who can do something and measure their spirit veins."
An Ze understood that Hua Changxi was going to recruit people again, and hurried back to the village to call for help.
Hua Changxi looked at Xiaosong and said, "Xiaosong, you will be in charge of watching the villagers measure their spiritual veins. Shanling and I will go into the mountains to collect herbs."
Xiao Song has become familiar with the people around him. Although he feels a little disappointed that he can't follow Hua Changxi, he is still very happy to help: "Master, don't worry, I will complete the task."
Hua Changxi rubbed her head, then took the mountain spirit into the Five Finger Mountain.
The medicinal bath formula to stimulate the power of the blood totem requires more than twenty kinds of spiritual medicines. Shan Ling is most familiar with the Five Finger Mountain. In order to save time in searching, she needs him to lead the way.
"I wonder if we can gather all the spiritual medicines for making a medicinal bath?"
"Fairy, don't worry. Wuzhi Mountain has another name, Wuxing Mountain. All things in the world come from the five elements, and Wuxing Mountain definitely has the most spiritual medicines."
Hua Changxi was delighted when he heard Shan Ling say this: "Really?"
The mountain spirit nodded affirmatively and led Hua Changxi around the mountain until dark. As expected, all the spiritual herbs needed for the medicinal bath recipe were collected.
Although there are rich varieties of spiritual medicines in the Five Elements Mountain, the quantities of these medicines vary. Some spiritual medicines are everywhere in the mountain, while some can only be found in very small quantities.
Hua Changxi had only collected about 500 doses of medicinal bath recipes. She had previously thought that since not many people were born with spiritual veins, others could still take the approach of stimulating the power of their blood.
Now it seems that this road is not easy to take.
Seeing that the spiritual medicines collected were not many, the mountain spirit comforted her: "Fairy, the spiritual energy recovery has just begun. There will be more and more spiritual medicines in the mountains in the future."
Hua Changxi smiled and said, "If you come across these spiritual herbs I collected today, please help me collect them."
Shan Ling nodded: "I will."
Afterwards, Hua Changxi took Shan Ling back to Muzhi Village.
The spiritual vein test had ended long ago. An Ze safely brought over a thousand villagers here, and in the end, fifty-five people were found to have spiritual veins.
Hua Changxi felt that this number was quite a lot.
The mountain spirit was somewhat dissatisfied: "Five Finger Mountain has a profound heritage, why are there so few people with spiritual veins?"
Hua Changxi smiled and said, "There are so many people around here, and there are still many people who haven't been tested yet." Shan Ling thought about it and said, "Fairy, why don't you leave the spirit stone here, and I'll go test other villagers."
Hua Changxi shook his head: "I don't need so many people to do things for me."
Shan Ling was puzzled: "Isn't it better to have more people under your command?"
Hua Changxi laughed: "What do I need so many subordinates for?"
Shan Ling said directly: "Fight for world domination."
Hua Changxi chuckled when he heard this: "I don't have such big ambitions. I just want to live my life well and enjoy it."
Shan Ling shook his head: "Fairy, in the struggle of the great power, no one can stay out of it."
Hua Changxi disagreed with this statement: "I want to become the most powerful person, who can force me?"
Shan Ling Baozi frowned and said, "Fairy, you are mistaken. It is impossible for someone who only cares about himself to become the most powerful person."
Hua Changxi was stunned: "What kind of crooked logic is this?"
Shan Ling's eyes widened: "This is the law of heaven."
Hua Changxi disagreed: "You are talking nonsense. You were born not long ago, how can you know the laws of the operation of the heaven?"
Shan Ling pouted when he saw that she didn't believe him, but he really couldn't produce any evidence to prove himself. He folded his arms and turned away from Hua Changxi.
Hua Changxi found it a little funny when he saw it. He didn't say anything more to him and looked at the fifty-five people standing behind An Ze Anran.
Afterwards, Hua Changxi asked these fifty-five people whether they were willing to work for her. If they were willing, she would teach them how to practice martial arts, but they had to swear an oath in their hearts not to betray her.
She would not interfere in their lives, but she would make sure that the tasks she assigned to them were completed well.
The surrounding villagers had no chance to come into contact with the path of cultivation, and had long been jealous of An Ran and An Ze who worked for the Fire Lotus Fairy. Now that the Fire Lotus Fairy was willing to accept them, naturally there was no one who was unwilling.
The cultivation method obtained from Taoist Jiang and the monk in white covered all attributes of spiritual veins. Hua Changxi gave the method to An Ze and An Ran, asking them to either enlarge it or copy it by hand, and then distribute it to the people who had their spiritual veins detected today.
There were Jinyiwei watching over the Shennong Herb Shop, so after giving instructions, Hua Changxi returned to the capital overnight.
When Xiao Song saw Hua Changxi was gone, the mountain spirit was still angry, so he went to comfort him: "The master is gone, she can't see your anger."
Shan Ling sighed and pointed to his head: "The fairy's thinking is wrong, it is not good for her cultivation. She only cares about herself, and she won't go far on the road of cultivation."
Xiaosong was puzzled: "Is it that serious?"
Shan Ling nodded heavily: "Yes."
Xiao Song was anxious: "Then let's remind the master more often."
Shan Ling frowned: "Some things need to be awakened by yourself. No matter how others remind you, it's useless if you don't take it seriously."
After returning from Wuzhi Mountain, Hua Changxi went directly to Feng'anfang Pharmacy and learned from Pu Cao that the Jinyiwei did not come to the pharmacy to cause trouble.
Except for the time Pang Shaoyu led people here in the morning, no one has come since then.
Hua Changxi had no idea what the Jinyiwei meant, so she could only ask Pu Cao and Aniu to be careful and inform her if anything happened.
She did not spend the night in the pharmacy, but returned to the No. 7 Qihuang Clinic.
Hua Changxi couldn't wait to try out the effect of the ancestral medicinal bath. As soon as he returned to the No. 7 Qihuang Hall, he set up an isolation array and began to boil the ancestral medicinal soup.
After the medicinal soup was ready, Hua Changxi soaked it himself.
As soon as the medicinal soup entered his body, Hua Changxi felt his blood boiling. After a while, he felt two forces in his body slowly reviving.
One is the burning force that annihilates everything, and the other is the flexible and strong defensive force.
"Whoo~"
Flames were burning on Hua Changxi's body, and colorful firebirds were circling in the flames.
After a while, the rich fragrance of lotus wafted through the yard again. In the blazing flames, lotus flowers bloomed, and Hua Changxi sat cross-legged in the lotus.
At this moment, Hua Changxi felt very uncomfortable and a look of pain appeared on her face. The two forces in her body were not compatible and were fiercely fighting for her body.
Not long after, the two forces began to merge, slowly intertwining together, and finally merged into one force, quickly converging at the center of Hua Changxi's eyebrows.
Hua Changxi felt her eyebrows starting to get hot and swollen, and her head felt like it was about to explode. Just when she was about to be unable to bear it, something broke out from between her eyebrows.
The flames disappeared, the lotus retreated, Hua Changxi leaned back in the bathtub and fell asleep.
Hua Changxi woke up only after it was bright the next day.
As soon as she woke up, she found that her whole body was in pain as if it had been reorganized, but in the pain, she could clearly feel the powerful force contained in her body.
Hua Changxi gritted his teeth, endured the pain, got out of the bathtub, and put on his clothes.
Thinking of the two forces that revived in his body while taking the medicinal bath, Hua Changxi flipped his right hand, and a fire lotus instantly condensed into shape.
This fire lotus is no longer the fire lotus of the past.
The fire lotus used to have only thirty-six petals, but now it has seventy-two petals. At the same time, a mini firebird is hovering in the center of the lotus.
The bloodline returns to the ancestral state and gains ancestral supernatural powers.
She obtained two magical powers last night. One was the Lotus Domain. The fire lotus could continue to grow larger as her strength increased. Anyone trapped in the area covered by the fire lotus would have no chance of escaping.
Another magical power is to destroy the soul, that is, to burn the soul. In the past, the fire lotus could only burn the flesh, but now, the fire bird in the fire lotus can burn the soul of the cultivator.
Hua Changxi was very happy to have obtained two more magical powers and his strength increased. He also saw that the sword pattern on the wooden sign number seven placed in the main hall became more "three-dimensional", and the smile on his face deepened.
But the smile didn't last long and froze.
Another pattern appeared on the stone wall.
This pattern depicts a blood sacrifice, where countless people and monsters have been drained of their blood, and their blood, which is rich in totemic power, has been purified and then drunk by people.
Anyone who drinks the blood will gain the power of returning to their ancestors.
Looking at the pattern, Hua Changxi frowned, and couldn't help but recall the time when she was kidnapped and bled by a demon, which was very similar to the painting on this pattern.
If such a thing could happen to her, what about others?
Have people also been subjected to blood sacrifices in other places in Dajin?
Hua Changxi's joy at gaining supernatural powers due to his ancestral bloodline was greatly reduced. He put away the wooden sign number seven and prepared to go to class.
Yesterday she gave lectures in Qihuang Halls No. 1, 2 and 3. Today, she will give lectures in Qihuang Halls No. 4, 5 and 6.
"Good morning, Manager Hua."
There are already many people waiting in Qihuang Clinic No. 4.
As soon as Hua Changxi arrived, everyone greeted him.
"Manager Hua, the flower ornament on your forehead is so beautifully drawn, it looks like a red lotus has grown out of your forehead."
When Hua Changxi heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She asked everyone to sit for a while and she went into the east wing and took out a mirror from her storage ring to look at herself.
In the mirror, there really was a lifelike red lotus between her eyebrows.
