Chapter 164: Hands-off Manager

Chapter 164: Hands-off Manager

Everyone has their own opportunities. Hua Changxi didn't want to find out how Xu Ling got the elixir, but she thought of the white-robed monk who used the sound of wooden fish to lure Ah Niu, and asked: "Uncle Xu, are you still in touch with Master Kong Hai who Ling Ling saved before?"

Pharmacist Xu shook his head: "After Master Kong Hai left, he never showed up again. Lingling was sad for a while because of this."

Hua Changxi: "How is Lingling now?"

Pharmacist Xu smiled and nodded: "Lingling is fine. She usually helps me run the medicine shop. Now she can handle everything in the medicine shop."

Pharmacist Xu then changed the topic to the Qihuang Clinic. "Nine Lady, I will be working under you from now on. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Hua Changxi wanted to ask about Xu Ling's return to her ancestral home, but seeing that Pharmacist Xu was changing the subject, she could see that he didn't want to talk about Xu Ling, so she didn't ask any more questions: "Uncle Xu, with your qualifications, why did you choose to be a medicine boy?"

Pharmacist Xu smiled bitterly, "Qualifications? Previous qualifications are no longer valid." He lowered his voice and said, "The higher-ups have already issued a statement. Without spiritual roots, no matter how great a doctor or pharmacist you were before, you can no longer stay in the Medical Department."

"From now on, the Medical Department will only accept people with spiritual roots, even if they are menial servants. I am lucky to have spiritual roots, otherwise, you would not see me in the Medical Department."

Pharmacist Xu looked at Hua Changxi and said, "Nine Lady, I know very little about how to refine elixirs, how to treat monks, and about spiritual plants and medicines. You have to teach me more."

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "It's not teaching at all, we are just learning together."

Pharmacist Xu laughed and said, "You are too modest. Everyone in the Medical Department knows that those who can obtain the wooden plaque are either geniuses in alchemy or medical skills. You all have extraordinary qualities that ordinary people cannot reach."

"Now, everyone in Ninth Street wants to work as a medicine boy at Qihuang Hall. I put in a lot of effort to transfer to Qihuang Hall No. 13, and I used all my connections."

Hua Changxi laughed after hearing this and said, "What genius? There is nothing extraordinary about him. It's just rumors. Don't believe it."

Pharmacist Xu thought Hua Changxi was being modest, and said with a smile: "Nine Lady, we are so familiar with each other, you don't have to be too careful in front of me, otherwise, you will be very tired."

Hua Changxi smiled and didn't respond. Instead, he said something else: "Uncle Xu, I won't be polite with you. In the future, you need to help me take care of the No. 13 Qihuang Clinic, especially the other seven medicine boys."

Pharmacist Xu was very happy to see that she trusted him so much: "Don't worry, I will."

Afterwards, after chatting for a few more minutes, Hua Changxi let Pharmacist Xu leave.

Hua Changxi looked at the eight medicine boys assigned to the No. 13 Qihuang Clinic, his eyes flickering.

"Zhou Bin, Wan Feng."

These two were the only ones she didn't recognize.

After mastering the art of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation, Hua Changxi could use her eyes to see through other people's spiritual roots. At this moment, the conditions of the eight medicine boys' spiritual roots were clearly visible to her.

Hua Shuran and Xu Pharmacist both have single wood spiritual roots, Hua Wanyue, Zhu Yu, Zhou Bin, and Wan Feng all have fire wood spiritual roots, He Sirong has gold wood spiritual roots, and He Siqi has gold fire spiritual roots.

It has to be said that these eight people have very good talents in cultivation, but when she thought about the various forces standing behind these people, she lost all desire to train them.

Even if it was Pharmacist Xu, she still had doubts in her heart. After the incident where Ah Niu was seduced by the demon clan's guardian monk, she was still a little worried about Xu Ling.

Hua Changxi did not stay in the Qihuang Hall for long. There were eight medicine boys watching her. Even if she could set up a concealment array or an isolation array to refine the elixir, she was unwilling to do so.

Seeing Hua Changxi leaving, Hua Shuran couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Changxi, what should we do?"

Hua Changxi looked at her, then at the other seven people, and said with a smile: "Most of the Qihuang clinics were idle before, and didn't need anyone to take care of them. Each Qihuang clinic is equipped with eight medicine boys. I really don't know how to arrange you. You can find something to do by yourselves." After saying that, he left directly, with an attitude that didn't care what they said.

Upon seeing this, Hua Shuran and the other eight people looked at each other for a while, then each of them occupied a room and went about their own business.

Hua Changxi had just come out of the No. 13 Qihuang Clinic when he saw Lin Sheng waiting outside.

"master."

Lin Sheng's attitude was very respectful. Ever since he was rejected when he proposed to practice the second level of the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" - the flesh refining chapter, he knew that Hua Changxi would not use him anymore.

He knew very well that his only role now was to serve as a mouthpiece between his godfather and Hua Changxi.

"Godfather is going to take a group of people from the East Factory to the Ghost Market to buy supplies in a few days. He asked me to ask you, do you want to go with them?"

Hua Changxi pondered. Originally, she planned to refine a fourth-grade elixir before going to the ghost market. However, refining a third-grade elixir was much more difficult than refining first- and second-grade elixirs. She could not refine a fourth-grade elixir in a short period of time.

Now she has encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation, and her realm points have not been able to break through 1 billion points. She really should go out and gain some experience.

"Which day exactly?"

Seeing that Hua Changxi actually agreed, Lin Sheng was delighted: "On the first day of November."

Hua Changxi: "Okay, I understand."

After separating from Lin Sheng, Hua Changxi left the capital and rode a cloud directly to Lingguang Palace.

When they arrived at Lingguang Palace, Hua Changxi's expression began to fluctuate.

On the red stone square between the palace complex and the archway, there were many figures covered in flames. These people were monks from all over, and they all wanted to obtain the cultivation methods of Lingguang Palace.

When Hua Changxi summoned the "Suzaku Army Roster", she found that there were already more than 700 people on the roster, which surprised her.

Although the intersection leading to Lingguang Palace was still controlled by imperial soldiers, so many people still broke through the blockade and came to Lingguang Palace.

From this we can see that human subjective initiative is immeasurable!
Hua Changxi released his spiritual sense and scanned the training area. Seeing that the monks in the training room were concentrating on their cultivation, he retracted his spiritual sense.

She had no plans for these people, and didn't know how to arrange them. For the time being, she could only let them develop on their own.

Hua Changxi entered the main hall, took out the alchemy furnace, and began to refine the third-grade elixir.

Although she had erased the tricks that Eunuch Lin had played on the Ghost Market token, she still had to be extra careful when going to the Ghost Market with the people from the East Factory, and she must prepare enough elixirs.

In the next few days, Hua Changxi has been refining pills in the main hall.

During this period, in the No. 13 Qihuang Clinic, Hua Shuran and others were a little annoyed that Hua Changxi had not appeared since he showed up once.

They came to be medicine boys, firstly to explore the secrets of Qihuangguan, and secondly to learn something.

But now Hua Changxi never comes to the Qihuang Clinic. Everything in the clinic is managed by Pharmacist Xu, but she acts as a hands-off boss, with an attitude of not caring about anything. This makes the people who have struggled to enter the No. 13 Qihuang Clinic very depressed.
