Chapter 209: Ignite the Second Street Dan Fire
"Wait!"

Prince Shou interrupted the conversation between Xia Zhen and Gu Xing. Before today, he knew nothing about the Divine Wood Cauldron and Danxiang. Now the selection of the director of Qihuang Hall would be determined based on the 'Divine Wood Blessing', which he knew nothing about. He would not allow such a thing to happen that was out of the control of the royal family.

Gu Xing looked at Prince Shou. He was well aware of the royal family's ambition to control the holy land. He also knew that the Hudao family had their own plans and goals. He did not want to create any complications and just wanted to start worshiping the sacred tree as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, please be patient."

"I know that everyone present here is looking forward to the reappearance of the Dan Sheng Temple in the world."

"In ancient times, the eighteen Qihuang Hall masters of the Dan Sheng Temple had to go through strict tests and be voted on by everyone in the Holy Land. Now that the Dan Sheng Temple is silent, we cannot select the hall master as solemnly as in ancient times. However, Qihuang Hall is responsible for teaching the way of alchemy after all, and not everyone can be the hall master. I think everyone has no objection to this, right?"

Gu Xing looked at the people from the Medical Department, and then at the people from the Hudao family. Everyone remained silent, which was considered as tacit agreement to his question.

"I think everyone present here should have heard about the important task that Dan Sheng Temple undertakes, right?"

Hearing Gu Xing's question, most people's faces fluctuated.

As one of the four major formation centers of the Demon Prison, Dan Sheng Temple shoulders the heavy responsibility of maintaining the stability of the formation center. In other words, when the demons come to attack, they must stand up without hesitation.

The martial arts of the Jin Dynasty flourished, but along with the martial arts, there were also a variety of ferocious beasts. For hundreds of years, the people of the Jin Dynasty were deeply harmed by ferocious beasts, and even the children of the rich and powerful present had many family members killed by ferocious beasts.

The monsters are more dangerous than fierce beasts. They can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. Because of their strong physique, their strength far exceeds that of cultivators in the same realm. In addition, the monsters have a very strong reproductive ability.

The imperial court was already exhausted from fighting off the vicious beasts, and if it were to face the demon clan, it would only be more dangerous.

Gu Xing did not miss the shrinking look in some people's eyes and continued, "Qihuang Hall is an important place in the Alchemy Temple and shoulders important responsibilities. Therefore, the owner of Qihuang Hall must not only make achievements in the way of alchemy, but also have a firm heart to defend the holy land. Otherwise, even if he becomes the owner, he will not be able to bear the responsibility of the owner."

Prince Shou couldn't help but speak up: "How do we judge whether someone can take on the responsibility of the head of the hall? It can't be that Senior Xia says whoever can take on the responsibility can do it, right?"

Seeing that he was disrespectful to Xia Zhen in his words, the cultivators from the Guardian Family all showed anger.

Xia Zhen glanced at Shou Wang and didn't argue with him: "The guardian has conditions for selecting people. Everything he does is for the better development of the Four Spirit Realm. It's not like what you did before, relying on power competition to get the position of the owner, intending to snatch resources."

Seeing that King Shou seemed to be about to refute, Gu Xing did not give him a chance to speak and said first: "The selection of the current museum owner is not determined by power, nor by the guardian family, but by the sacred tree of the holy land. It is the most fair and just."

Gu Xing looked at Prince Shou and the nine hall owners who had gained their positions by relying on power and influence. "Before, I did not ask about the allocation of the hall owner of Qihuang Hall because I knew that everything you did was just in vain. The so-called hall owner is just guarding an empty courtyard, which is useless."

Upon hearing this, Prince Shou and the nine powerful winners' hall owners' faces turned ugly. The Qihuang Hall that they had racked their brains to seize was actually a meaningless joke in Gu Xing's eyes.

Gu Xing continued, "But now, the people of the Guardian Family have brought the Divine Wood Cauldron and the Elixir Incense. If you light the Elixir Incense, you will receive the blessing of the Divine Wood."

Hua Changxi couldn't help but ask, "Gu Gu, what exactly is the blessing of the sacred tree?"

Gu Xing glanced at her and said, "Those who are blessed by the sacred tree can obtain the sacred tree secret realm. With the resources in the secret realm, the owner of the Qihuang Hall can be considered to have a certain authority as the owner. Otherwise, what you are fighting for is just an empty yard."

Secret Realm!!!

After hearing what Gu Xing said, the people from the Medical Department could no longer remain calm.

The blessing of the sacred tree can actually lead to a secret realm!

You know, even for the royal family, it would cost a very high price to obtain a secret realm, and the secret realm is extremely rare and hard to find.

But now, as long as you light incense and worship the sacred tree, you can get the secret realm. Even King Shou was shocked by the generosity of the holy land.

Eighteen sticks of elixir incense represent eighteen secret realms!
The cultivators from the Guardian Family looked very calm, and it was obvious that they had known about the secret realm of the sacred tree for a long time.

Prince Shou asked anxiously, "What kind of secret realm is it?"

Gu Xing glanced at the eighteen incense sticks of varying thicknesses and said, "What level of Divine Tree Secret Realm you can obtain depends on your respective abilities."

Shou Wang's heart was burning with anger, but after seeing the cultivators brought by the Xia family, he calmed down and frowned, saying, "Senior Gu, the sacred wood tripod and the elixir incense are kept by the Guardian Family, so they must know how to light the elixir incense."

Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by a middle-aged cultivator: "If the Xia family knew how to light the incense, why didn't they just bring the Xia family over to take over the Qihuang Hall? Why would they bother searching everywhere for someone with a talent for alchemy? You are a prince, but you don't think before you speak."

It was the first time that Prince Shou was slapped in the face like this, and he was so angry that his face turned blue.

Seeing Gu Xing's dissatisfaction, Xia Zhen was willing to give a little more face to the heir who guarded the holy land. He said to the middle-aged monk, "Xia Xun, don't be rude. Apologize to the prince quickly." Xia Xun was very reluctant and clasped his fists perfunctorily: "Please forgive me, your Majesty. I speak quickly. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."

Seeing Xia Xun apologize, Xia Zhen didn't care whether King Shou accepted it or not, and looked at Gu Xing: "The ten juniors I brought this time are all outstanding in the way of alchemy."

Gu Xing nodded and said, "The nine museum owners who received the wooden plaques will light incense and worship the sacred tree first. After that, the remaining nine museum owners and the ten people brought by Daoist Fellow Xia will take turns to worship the sacred tree."

Prince Shou wanted to object, but before he could say anything, he met Gu Xing's cold eyes. In an instant, it seemed as if an invisible hand had pinched his heart. If he dared to make a sound, that hand would crush his heart.

Xia Zhen glanced at the sweaty Shou Wang with disdain in his heart. Although he wanted to let the people he brought with him worship the sacred tree first, he saw the tough attitude revealed by Gu Xing and did not want to make enemies with this gatekeeper of the holy land: "Okay, let's do as Fellow Daoist Gu says."

Gu Xing stood up and said, "Follow me to the square to worship the sacred tree."

Xia Zhen put away the sacred wood cauldron and the elixir incense, and quickly followed Gu Xing. The cultivators from the Guardian Family followed closely behind him.

At the Medical Department, Prince Shou, with a gloomy face, did not move. No one else dared to leave. Hua Changxi wanted to slip away, but was held tightly by Huo Yunxiao.

Huo Yunxiao looked at Hua Changxi speechlessly: "My Master Hua, please be more careful."

Hua Changxi rolled his eyes in response: "Is it because I am not caring enough, or is it because you are too strong?" He glanced at Prince Shou and said, "If he doesn't leave, then no one should leave. Why? If everyone leaves, what can he do to us?"

Huo Yunxiao was really stunned by the question.

Hua Changxi knew that Huo Yunxiao had good intentions in holding her back: "Now that the spiritual energy has revived, you still respect the royal family in everything. Your thoughts are very rigid. Forget it, let's not talk about this."

Huo Yunxiao felt that Hua Changxi despised him, but he had once again experienced her arrogance. She even looked down on the royal family. Her courage was limitless.

At this time, Director Gu had also calmed Prince Shou down, and they escorted Prince Shou out of the meeting hall. Only then did the others dare to follow.

"Hey, why are you all stuck here? Aren't you going to the square?"

The people from the Medical Department came out a step later and found that the people from the Guardian Family were blocking the pilgrimage intersection.

The nearest road to the square is the Pilgrimage Road. Hua Changxi didn't want to take the Pilgrimage Road, so he planned to leave the crowd after leaving the council hall and go to the square from the Ninth Street Alley. However, he saw that the people from the Guardian Family were blocking the intersection, so he couldn't help but move over to see what they were doing.

As he approached the intersection, Hua Changxi saw that the Pilgrimage Road was empty except for a woman in green standing solemnly at the intersection of Second Street with her hands clasped together and her fingers forming a seal, as if she was planning something.

It’s her, Meng Qingyao, the female cultivator with the fire and wood spirit body!

"What is she doing?"

"practice?"

People in the Medical Department were talking about it.

Someone suddenly spoke up: "She is going to light the fire on Second Street."

Hua Changxi looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person speaking was Gu Jinfan.

The cultivators from the Guardian Family also looked at Gu Jinfan, and a young male cultivator chuckled and said, "Finally, there is someone with extraordinary insight."

When the monks from the Medical Department heard this, they were so angry that they wanted to fight back. Unfortunately, the monks from the Guardian Family had already turned back and continued to look at the intersection of the Second Street of Pilgrimage Road.

“It smells so good~”

"It's the fragrance of elixir. Such a strong fragrance of elixir."

On the pilgrimage, green light was continuously emanating from Meng Qingyao's fingertips as she formed seals. The light split into two and quickly gathered into the two lanterns hanging high on the left and right sides of the intersection.

Seeing how serious she was, Hua Changxi tried hard to recall the scene when she lit the first Dan Fire. She felt that compared with Meng Qingyao, she was a little careless in lighting the Dan Fire.

About a quarter of an hour later, green light appeared in the lantern.

"It's lit. Qingyao has lit the Dan Fire on the second street."
