Chapter 204: Giving Up
Looking at the top-grade elixir in front of him, although Prince Shou looked calm, he collected the elixir very quickly.

Top-grade elixirs are something that only a few people, even those alchemists trained by the royal family at great expense of resources, can make. Even if they can, it is impossible for them to produce so many at once, even if it is only a first-grade elixir.

As Prince Shou took away the elixir, the fragrance of the elixir in the meeting hall slowly dissipated. Everyone smelled the remaining fragrance and looked at Hua Changxi with a little more solemnity.

Before, many people present were somewhat dismissive of those who got the wooden plaques, thinking that they were able to get the wooden plaques just by chance and that luck played a big part in it.

This was even more true for Prince Shou, who took over the Medical Department. In his heart, he did not take the nine people who received the wooden plaques seriously.

If the elders in the royal family who studied divination had not repeatedly reminded him that whoever favored the wooden plaque would be able to more easily decipher the secret of Qihuang Hall, he would even want to snatch the wooden plaques from Hua Changxi and Shen Qianfan. After all, they had no one behind them, so they didn't have to worry about anything.

But now, Hua Changxi produced hundreds of top-grade first-grade pills at once, which fully demonstrated that he really had extraordinary skills in alchemy, and directly broke the arrogant judgment of King Shou and others.

Hua Changxi is like this, what about the others? Do they also have unknown abilities?
The owners of the Qihuang Clinic looked at Hua Changxi at this moment and no longer had the indifference that was full of scrutiny that they had had before.

They took over the Qihuang Clinic not only to shoulder the expectations of their respective families, but also to pursue their own passion for and pursuit of medical skills and alchemy. They admired those who were truly capable.

Mu Qingying and Director Gu looked at each other for a few seconds, and both the master and the disciple seemed to have some regrets.

In the meeting hall, everyone had different expressions and remained silent until Chu Junhao, who was rejected by Hua Changxi in public, broke the silence.

"Uncle, I have long told you that Master Hua is a master of alchemy. Do you believe it now?"

Although Prince Shou didn't say anything, his expression no longer showed the anger he had just shown.

"Master Hua's medical skills and alchemy skills are far superior to mine. He doesn't need my help at all. I was presumptuous just now." Chu Junhao looked at Hua Changxi with a smile, but his smile was a little unnatural and everyone could see his embarrassment.

Hua Changxi also saw it, no matter what Chu Junhao's purpose was, his words and actions were ultimately to help her, so she could only stand up and say, "The Seventh Prince is a noble person, I feel ashamed to accept this, but I appreciate your kindness."

When Chu Junhao heard the answer, he smiled and sat back in his seat.

He was very puzzled about Hua Changxi's behavior. Hua Changxi undoubtedly did not want to hand over the top-grade elixir. Since she could borrow the elixir from Mu Qingying and others, why was she unwilling to accept his help?
Aren’t we all owed favors?
Not only Chu Junhao didn't understand, most of the people present also didn't understand. Some people even thought that it was unwise for Hua Changxi to reject a prince in public.

Tang Yufeng looked at Hua Changxi who sat down again and whispered softly, "This man is so arrogant!" He only wants to make friends on an equal footing and will never allow himself to be in a low position.

If Chu Junhao helped in public, Hua Changxi would owe him a favor in public. People who owe favors to others will lose the confidence to stand up straight.

It is best not to owe favors if you can avoid it. Especially when it comes to favors that are forced upon you, you should run as far away from them as possible.

Hua Changxi was able to decisively reject the Seventh Prince, so he is indeed a smart man.

Gu Jinfan heard Tang Yufeng's whisper, but felt a little worried. According to her secret investigation, Hua Changxi was indeed lucky, but she was too reckless and acted too rashly.

Rejecting a prince in public shows a complete lack of understanding of the ways of the world.

Amid the people's different thoughts, Prince Shou spoke up: "I really didn't expect that Pavilion Master Hua's alchemy skills are so superb. The other pavilion masters should learn from her and serve the Medical Bureau more. Only by working together can we make the Medical Bureau better and better."

The owners of Qihuang Clinic nodded in agreement.

Director Gu waited for Prince Shou to talk about his vision for the Medical Department before he began to preside over the meeting: "The reason we gathered everyone together this time is to give a class at the Qihuang Hall after the new year."

"After the spiritual energy revived, there were more and more cultivators, and the demand for elixirs was growing, but alchemists were extremely scarce."

"As the gathering place of Dajin's top doctors and pharmacists, the Medical Department leads the development of medical skills and has always been responsible for cultivating outstanding medical talents."

"Nowadays, alchemists are scarce, and the Medical Department has an obligation to help. After the beginning of the new year, all hall owners must teach alchemy techniques to the staff of the Medical Department in their respective Qihuang Halls."

At this point, Director Gu paused and looked at the museum owners: "Now, you can all express your opinions."

The news of the lectures in Qihuang Hall had long been widely circulated. The well-informed hall owners knew what they should and should not know. Even if there were those who disagreed, they would not make trouble in the meeting hall and had no intention of speaking out.

Hua Changxi looked at the silence of the crowd. She originally wanted to get more information from them, so she could only ask herself: "Director, how many days of classes do you have in a month? What if I go out for training or retreat and don't have time for classes?"

After hearing her question, everyone realized how out of touch Hua Changxi was with the news.

Director Gu: "Each hall has one open class per month, arranged according to their hall numbers. Master Hua, you are in charge of the 13th Qihuang Hall. The 13th of each month is the time for your hall to teach." "You cannot be absent from the open class. This represents the image of your respective Qihuang Halls. If the hall master has something to do, you can arrange for your subordinates to take your place."

Hua Changxi asked quickly: "What if there are no subordinates available?"

Director Gu looked at her and said, "You don't have any subordinates to use, Director Hua, you should think about whether it is your own problem." After a pause, he kindly reminded her, "You are the director now, and you should solve problems yourself instead of asking others."

Hua Changxi sneered: "The eight medicine boys in the No. 13 Qihuang Clinic were all arranged by you. Now you say it's my fault?"

Director Gu: "As for the medicine boy, the Medical Department arranged it on its own because you did not request it."

Hua Changxi was speechless. Just as he was about to retort, Director Gu said first: "The eight medicine boys in your hall are all very talented. As long as you teach them patiently, they will definitely become your right-hand men in the future."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi laughed out of anger: "Director, do you think I'm a fool?" He passed his skills to his spy.

"Pfft~"

Some people couldn't help laughing out loud.

Everyone turned to look at the person who was laughing.

The person who laughed was Huo Yunxiao, the owner of Qihuang Hall No. 3. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he suppressed his laughter and looked at Hua Changxi: "Master Hua, you are very open and magnanimous. I have never met someone as outspoken as you. You really don't hide anything. I am very happy to meet you. I like to laugh when I am happy. Please don't be surprised."

After hearing this answer, many people rolled their eyes. If they were not concerned about the Tianbu behind him, they would have wanted to ridicule him.

Director Gu, who was stared at by Hua Changxi, coughed twice uncomfortably and continued, "In addition to the open classes, each hall must accept ten alchemy apprentices. At the end of each year, the Medical Department will conduct an assessment. Each hall must train at least five alchemists within a year."

"This is a mandatory regulation of the Medical Bureau, and every library must implement it."

Then he looked at Hua Changxi and said, "Master Hua, do you have any other questions?"

Hua Changxi was not opposed to attending classes, and was even willing to do so, but the regulations of the Medical Bureau restricted her in every way: "Director, I have a big problem. Not only will I not get any benefits from taking over the No. 13 Qihuang Clinic, but I will also have to spend time and energy on it. I really want to ask you, what should I do as the head of the Qihuang Clinic?"

Director Gu: “.”

Other hall owners who were thinking about the secrets of the Dan Sheng Temple: "."

Hua Changxi stood up and said, "You guys play by yourselves." Then he was about to leave.

Seeing this, Director Gu was dumbfounded, and the others were also stunned.

"and many more."

Seeing that Hua Changxi was really going to give up, Director Gu quickly stopped her and said, "Master Hua, you are too impatient. We are still discussing this. If you have any opinions, please say them and we can discuss it later."

Hua Changxi stopped and said: "I am not satisfied with any of your arrangements. I can teach, but I have to decide the time myself; I can teach alchemy apprentices, but I have to choose the people myself."

Hearing this, Prince Shou was not happy: "You decide everything. How about you take charge of the Medical Department?"

Hua Changxi was already unhappy because he had handed in a top-grade pill, so he said directly, "Forget it if you don't want to do it."

Prince Shou had never seen anyone who looked down upon him, so his face darkened immediately: "You can leave, but leave the wooden sign behind."

Hua Changxi laughed angrily: "That won't work. I got the wooden plaque by my own strength. No one can take it away. Not only the wooden plaque, but also the Qihuang Pavilion."

After these words were spoken, everyone once again experienced Hua Changxi's arrogance and arrogance.

She just rejected the Seventh Prince in public and is now disobeying Prince Shou. Does she still want to work in the Medical Department?
Prince Shou could no longer suppress his anger. Hua Changxi had a bad temper before, but he had endured it for the sake of the secret of Qihuangguan. But now Hua Changxi was challenging his power in public, which was intolerable. But just as Prince Shou was about to say something, a paper crane suddenly flew in and landed in his hands.

"The people from the Hudao family will come to the Medical Department immediately."

When Prince Shou opened the paper crane, he saw this line of words. His expression suddenly changed and he stood up suddenly.
