Chapter 131: Lifesaver
Seeing that it was getting dark, Hua Changxi did not return to the Medical Department, but stayed in Lingguang Hall to practice.
After she started practicing, she soon discovered that her practice speed had increased again. Now, she could increase her spiritual energy by 200 million points after practicing for one hour.
[Realm: Infant Realm 2.9750 million/10 billion; Divine Consciousness: 11+]
In May, it took her one hour of practice to increase her spiritual energy points by 1.1 million. Now, only a month has passed, and her practice speed has increased by one million points.
When she woke up from her coma, her attention was focused on her spiritual awareness and she didn't notice that her cultivation had increased so much.
Now, one night has passed, and after six hours of practice, his cultivation has increased by 12 million points.
Is the increase in cultivation speed due to her opening of the Lingguang Palace?
Hua Changxi was undoubtedly happy about the increased speed of her cultivation, but looking at the empty Lingguang Palace and thinking about recruiting a 100,000-strong Suzaku Army, she couldn't help but feel a headache again.
Next, after the life-and-death crisis she encountered in the Ghost Market, she realized once again that she really needed to quickly improve her alchemy skills. She was now a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, and first-grade elixirs were of no use to her.
If she doesn't improve her alchemy level, she won't be able to produce the corresponding elixir if she gets injured or her spiritual energy is exhausted in the future.
Recruiting the Suzaku Army takes time, refining the elixir takes time, and practicing takes time. There is really not enough time!
Hua Changxi stood on the roof of Lingguang Palace, facing the morning light, looking down at the earth. A sense of heroism continued to grow in her heart. She realized that she liked standing in high places.
"Hey~"
She still had to go back to the Medical Department to give lectures, so Hua Changxi rode a cloud back to the city. After flying several miles out of Lingguang Palace, she saw more soldiers than yesterday.
No, if yesterday's were just some patrol soldiers who gathered temporarily, then what we saw today could be said to be soldiers of the army.
"Is the imperial court preparing to attack Lingguang Palace?"
Hua Changxi had not expected that the imperial court would actually send out troops.
Seeing that there were many people watching the excitement on the official road, Hua Changxi quietly flew down and landed, blending in with the villagers.
"From now on, these intersections will not be accessible."
"why?"
"See that fairy palace? The officials would rather seal it up than let us common people get contaminated by the fairy spirit."
"The Fairy Palace has appeared for a few days. If I had known earlier, I should have gone there to pay my respects earlier."
"Why are you worshipping? The Immortal Palace was blocked by soldiers as soon as it appeared in the world. We can't get close to it."
Listening to the villagers' discussions and seeing the army camping on the roadside, Hua Changxi realized that the imperial court actually wanted to seal off all the roads leading to Lingguang Palace to prevent anyone from approaching.
Is this an attempt to make Lingguang Palace an isolated island?
Hua Changxi snorted in his heart. It was still possible before the spiritual energy revived, but now that the spiritual energy has revived, more and more cultivators can fly into the sky and hide underground. Even if all the soldiers in the army are cultivators, there is no way they can stop everyone.
At this moment, a few rays of light happened to pass across the sky. Hua Changxi looked closely and found that they were several monks flying on swords. One of them turned out to be Gu Jinfan. She didn't want to be seen, so she left quickly.
Not long after Hua Changxi left, Gu Jinfan and several cultivators from Duke Xin's Mansion landed on the official road where the army was stationed.
Looking at the tall and majestic Lingguang Palace in the distance, Gu Jinfan felt very uneasy.
In the previous life, Lingguang Palace appeared several years later and was opened by Liu Yiyu, the eldest senior brother of Taisu Palace. However, Liu Yiyu is still trapped in the Kunlun Secret Realm.
who is it?
Who opened the Lingguang Hall in advance?
Lingguang Palace appeared ahead of schedule, chaos broke out again at the Genmen Pass in Jiuyou, and the Demon-Suppressing Army captured the Genmen Bridge. Everything changed, and the trajectory of the previous life changed again.
In the previous life, there had never been a major chaos in Genmen Pass, and Genmen Pass had always been controlled by monsters. Later, the monsters passed through Genmen Pass and launched a large-scale attack on Fu Sheng Pavilion, one of the four major formations that suppressed the Demon Prison. If Hua Shiniang, Yan Xiaoyang, and Chu Junyi had not fought desperately to stop them, Fu Sheng Pavilion would have almost disappeared from the Central Continent.
Now, the Demon-Suppressing Army has occupied the Genmen Bridge. Given the way the Demon-Suppressing Army acts, they will definitely take over the territories of other monsters in Genmen Pass step by step.
In this way, the crisis of Fu Sheng Pavilion in the previous life would be gone.
There are four holy places in the Central Continent that suppress the Demon Prison. Each holy place has two treasures. One is the Demon-Slaying Sword that suppresses the Demon Prison, and the other is the holy artifact.
The sacred artifact of the Fusheng Pavilion is a talisman pen. Unfortunately, the talisman pen was lost, and the people of the Fusheng Pavilion did not find the talisman pen until the monks from the outside world invaded the Four Spirit Realms on a large scale.
In this life, the crisis of Fu Sheng Pavilion will most likely not occur. I hope the talisman pen in the holy land will not be lost again.
At this time, the cultivator from the Xin Guo Mansion walked up to Gu Jinfan and whispered to her, "I found out that the day Lingguang Palace appeared in the world was the day when the chaos occurred in Genmen Pass."
"A man in a black robe rushed into Lingguang Palace and drove away Prince Fu and his entourage, and then Lingguang Palace appeared."
"The black-robed man has been quiet for the past few days. Just yesterday, he drove the soldiers stationed outside Lingguang Palace several miles away and then left."
"The man in black robes should not be here now. Should we take this opportunity to go in and take a look?"
After hearing this, Gu Jinfan's expression was shocked, and then his eyes flickered.
No need to guess, the black-robed person who opened the Lingguang Palace was the female cultivator who could summon the Vermillion Bird Flame to severely damage the Nether Dragon.
She already had some guesses in her mind about the Vermillion Bird Flame, the Fire Lotus, and all the things she had found out about Hua Changxi.
"Is it her?"
"Could it be her?"
When he thought that it was a person who died early in the previous life who changed the trajectory of many things in the previous life, Gu Jinfan felt a little complicated, but there was also a sense of satisfaction in the complexity.
In her opinion, if she had not appeared on the underground power transmission platform in Lingguang Hall, Hua Changxi would definitely have died early at the hands of the father of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, just like in his previous life.
After all, it was she who drove the change in the direction of the four spiritual realms in this life.
"Let's go back to the Medical Department."
"Are you going back just like that? Why don't you go take a look at the palace?"
"No, I need to go back to the Medical Department to confirm some things."
Gu Jinfan summoned his flying sword and left without looking back.
Watching her leave, the monk from Duke Xin's Mansion sighed, "We just came back from Genmen Pass, and Miss Qi didn't even bother to go back to the mansion to rest."
Hua Changxi thought about it all the way back to the Medical Department. She felt that she should change her schedule.
In the past, she wanted to improve her cultivation quickly, so she was eager to increase her cultivation speed.
Now, she has reached the Nascent Soul stage and her cultivation speed has reached 200 million points per hour, which is not slow. She feels that she should make up for what she had missed before.
The first thing is to improve the level of alchemy!
Also, her Buddhist beads were lost at Niutou Mountain in Ghost Market, and the wooden sign was no longer in her hands. She didn't know if she could improve her cultivation speed by giving lectures at Qihuang Hall. Therefore, she wanted to stop teaching at Qihuang Hall and concentrate on refining the elixir.
Although recruiting the Suzaku Army is not an urgent matter, she still needs to pay more attention to suitable candidates on a daily basis. She needs to be prepared for a protracted war.
While Hua Changxi was thinking about these things, she arrived at the Medical Department. After returning to the Servants' Hall, she thought that since there had been no classes for seven days, the servants' enthusiasm for classes should not be so high. But when she arrived at the Qihuang Hall, she found that many people were already waiting with books in their hands.
Seeing this, Hua Changxi sighed. Her energy was too limited and she really couldn't cope with the enthusiasm of so many people to study.
"Flower in charge."
Zhou Qiuyu walked over and greeted Hua Changxi with a smile.
Hua Changxi saw her and slapped his head fiercely: "I have been too busy recently and forgot about you and my fifth sister. How is my fifth sister's health?"
Zhou Qiuyu smiled and said, "Madam Hua's health has recovered, and the young master is also in good health."
Hua Changxi nodded: "The He family didn't make things difficult for my fifth sister, did they?"
Zhou Qiuyu shook her head: "No, in the past month, Mr. He has visited Aunt Hua and the child almost every day, and the Marquis's wife and the Crown Prince's wife also often send gifts to Aunt Hua."
Hua Changxi was relieved to hear that Hua Wuniang was doing well: "You have worked hard during this period. Go home and rest for two days. After you have rested, come back to help me sort out the Complete Book of Plants and the Dictionary of Medicinal Materials. I will not give lectures often in the future. Let those who want to learn medicine buy the books directly."
Zhou Qiuyu was shocked after hearing this. She could be said to be the biggest beneficiary of Hua Changxi's lectures and naturally hoped to attend more lectures. When she learned that she would no longer teach in the future, she felt very disappointed.
Hua Changxi looked at her and said, "I have other things to do and I really can't take care of the classes. However, I will find time to teach you and Wang Yunchu how to make pills."
"Of course, I will teach you how to make pills, and you will also have to work for me. I have ten medicine shops. After you learn how to make pills, you will go to work in the medicine shops."
"Talk to Wang Yunchu and the others about this and see if they are willing."
Zhou Qiuyu said quickly: "I'm sure everyone is willing. Ever since we started learning medicine and practicing with Manager Hua, we have all considered ourselves your people. If you have any orders, we will naturally obey them."
Hua Changxi smiled and said, "Since you trust me so much, I will definitely not let you gain nothing."
Seeing that there were more and more servants outside the Qihuang Clinic, Hua Changxi didn't say anything more to Zhou Qiuyu and walked directly into Qihuang Clinic No. 6. When the servants saw him, they followed him in.
"Everyone, I have something to announce."
"I won't be teaching every day in the future, but I will occasionally guide everyone in alchemy at the No. 6 Qihuang Hall."
"Today is my last unified class for you all. I will demonstrate the steps of alchemy to you in full."
When the servants heard that Hua Changxi would no longer teach in the future, they were disappointed. However, Hua Changxi had been teaching them for free all along, so no matter how unwilling they were, they had no right or reason to ask her to continue.
"Okay, don't be sad. I will ask Zhou Qiuyu to sort out all the courses I taught in class before. You can buy the books and study according to your own situation."
"I will demonstrate the steps of alchemy a few more times today. Even if you don't understand something, you'd better write it down and take it home to study it slowly."
"Today, in addition to refining ordinary pills, I will also show you the process of refining spiritual pills. Everyone please watch carefully."
Just after Hua Changxi started class, Gu Jinfan also returned to the Medical Department.
Although she was eager to confirm whether Hua Changxi was the one who seriously injured the Nether Dragon and opened the Lingguang Palace, she still held back and called the people she had placed in the Apprentice Hall first.
"I have met Lady Seven."
Lu Qingling was a little nervous. This was the first time she was summoned after she joined Gu Jinfan.
Gu Jinfan looked at Lu Qingling: "I asked you to keep an eye on Hua Changxi. Has she done anything unusual during this period?"
Lu Qingling: "Madam Qi, Hua Changxi has not come to the Medical Department these days."
Gu Jinfan's expression brightened: "Since when did she not come?"
Lu Qingling: "From the seventh day of June until yesterday, the fifteenth day of June, Hua Changxi did not show up in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall."
Gu Jinfan stood up suddenly: "Are you sure?"
Lu Qingling nodded: "Since I received the order from Lady Qi, I have been going to the errand hall to look for my sister every day. My sister loves to listen to Hua Changxi's lectures. I can guarantee that Hua Changxi has not been in the errand hall these days."
Gu Jinfan took a deep breath. If Hua Changxi was really not in the Mentoring Hall these days, then she could be almost 100% sure that the person who opened the Lingguang Hall was her.
"Go down and keep staring at Hua Changxi."
"By the way, since your sister once lived in the same room with Hua Changxi, you have to urge her to get closer to Hua Changxi. I want to know everything about Hua Changxi."
Lu Qingling's expression changed. Although she didn't want her sister Lu Qingluo to be involved, to avenge their mother's death, they could only rely on Lady Qi: "Yes."
After Lu Qingling left, Gu Jinfan immediately went straight to the errand hall.
Since Hua Changxi is the master of Lingguang Palace, she can arrange many things.
The Vermillion Bird Divine Art is the most powerful fire-related martial art in the Four Spirit Realms. She can arrange for the cultivators with fire spiritual roots in the Gu family and the cultivators with fire spiritual roots who have defected to Duke Xin to practice the Vermillion Bird Divine Art.
In time, she will form an extremely powerful Suzaku Army.
Suzaku Army.
Gu Jinfan became extremely excited at the thought that she could establish a Suzaku Army. She couldn't wait to meet Hua Changxi immediately, so she summoned her flying sword and rode it to the menial service hall.
"Hua Changxi."
When Gu Jinfan rushed into the No. 6 Qihuang Hall, Hua Changxi was demonstrating the process of refining elixirs to the servants. Gu Jinfan's sudden appearance almost made Hua Changxi explode the furnace.
Hua Changxi extinguished the fire of the elixir, and then said angrily: "Madam Gu Qi, is there something wrong with your eyes? Can't you see that I am refining the elixir?"
Gu Jinfan knew she was rash, but she had no intention of apologizing. She looked around at the errand boys who were teaching in the hall and said, "Hua Changxi, ask them to leave. I have something to tell you."
Hua Changxi was so angry that he laughed: "Gu Jinfan, don't you even know how to respect others? I'm in class, please leave."
Gu Jinfan didn't expect Hua Changxi to have this attitude. In her opinion, she was Hua Changxi's savior. Even if Hua Changxi didn't feel grateful to her, she still had to show her basic gratitude: "Hua Changxi, I really have something important to tell you."
Hua Changxi's face turned completely cold: "Don't you understand what people say? Who do you think you are? If you have something to tell me, do I have to listen?"
Gu Jinfan was also angry: "Hua Changxi, I never thought that you would be such an ungrateful person."
Hua Changxi was confused. Yes, it was Gu Jinfan who untied the rope on her hands on the Suzaku transmission platform, but if someone said that she was her savior, she would not admit it.
She was able to survive the hands of the demon because of herself.
Hua Changxi didn't want to waste time talking to her: "Please go out."
Gu Jinfan's face turned cold and he sneered, "I just came back from Nanxiang County and saw that the imperial army had blocked the Lingguang Palace. I know who the master of the Lingguang Palace is. Do you think I should tell the imperial court about this?"
Hua Changxi stood up suddenly, feeling the threat in Gu Jinfan's words, murderous intent emerged in his heart. The next moment, the back of his hand suddenly hurt. He lowered his head and saw a black fish pattern emerging.
