Chapter 210, 3rd Grade Incense

Chapter 210, Third-class Incense
Alchemy fire can help alchemists to clarify their thoughts and improve their alchemy techniques. It is the best spiritual fire to assist alchemists in achieving a comprehensive understanding and breaking through shackles.

After the first street's alchemy fire was ignited, the Medical Department quickly trained a group of first-grade alchemists. Now that the second street's alchemy fire has been ignited, it means that the Medical Department will soon be able to produce a group of second-grade alchemists.

Because of this, even Prince Shou, who was hostile and dissatisfied with the cultivators of the Guardian Family, looked much better, not to mention the other people in the Medical Department.

No matter what, most people who enter the Medical Department still hope to improve their alchemy skills, even if there are various political schemes behind them.

Director Gu noticed that everyone watching in Ninth Street was looking at Meng Qingyao with admiration. Even the pavilion owners around him were not as averse to the group of cultivators brought by the Guardian Family as before. He sighed in his heart that the Xia family's arrangement was truly brilliant.

Huh?
Director Gu suddenly realized that unlike the other people who looked at Meng Qingyao with amazement, admiration or scrutiny, the expressions of Gu Jinfan and Hua Changxi were somewhat intriguing, which made him a little confused.

At this time, Gu Jinfan looked at Meng Qingyao with a complicated expression. In his previous life, the alchemy fires on the first five streets of the Medical Bureau were all ignited by Meng Qingyao. With the help of the alchemy fire, many more alchemists below the fifth rank appeared in the Four Spiritual Realms. Unfortunately, before she could ignite the alchemy fire on the sixth street, the Alchemy Temple was completely controlled by external cultivators headed by the Jiang family.

In this life, the first street of Dan Fire was ignited in advance.
Thinking of the first-grade top-grade pill that Hua Changxi handed over to the King of Shou, Gu Jinfan's eyes immediately fell on Hua Changxi. Was it her? Was it her who ignited the first street pill fire?
Hua Changxi was comparing the methods she and Meng Qingyao used to light the Dan fire. It was obvious that Meng Qingyao would gain fame by lighting the lamp openly like this, while she was being chased as an invader. Feeling that she had lost, she felt that someone was watching her. She immediately looked up and found that Gu Jinfan was looking at her with an inquiring look. He glared at her unhappily.

Gu Jinfan, who was kicked, decisively looked away.

Forget it, never mind. It doesn’t matter whether it was the first Dan fire ignited by Hua Changxi or not. What’s important is that the guardian families showed up ahead of time. In this life, people from the five major guardian families in the east, west, south, north and center have come to the Medical Bureau. The Dan Sheng Temple can’t be controlled by outside cultivators like in the previous life.

After the second street's alchemy fire was lit, Xia Zhen showed a gratified smile on his face. He looked at Gu Xing beside him and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Gu, Qingyao is a fire and wood spirit body. She was born to achieve alchemy."

Upon hearing that Meng Qingyao was a fire and wood spirit, Gu Xing's eyes lit up and he looked at Meng Qingyao eagerly and excitedly.

Seeing Gu Xing's reaction, Xia Zhen smiled and continued: "Qingyao is already able to refine the fourth-grade pill. It is only a matter of time before the third street's pill fire is ignited."

After hearing this, Gu Xing became even more excited and looked at Xia Zhen: "Thank you for sending so many alchemy talents to the Alchemy Temple."

Xia Zhen smiled and said, "As it should be, everything is for the Holy Land and the Four Spiritual Realms."

The two walked side by side in front, and the others followed quickly.

Meng Yuchuan and brothers Dongfang Hao and Dongfang Xu walked quickly to Meng Qingyao.

Meng Yuchuan was very proud of his sister: "Qingyao, well done, I've said it before, as long as you take action, you will be the best alchemist."

Although Meng Qingyao had a smile on her face, she didn't look very happy: "Brother, don't say that. What number one alchemist? Someone had lit the alchemy fire on First Street before me." As she said that, she turned around and looked at the two lanterns at the intersection of First Street.

"I wonder who lit the Dan Fire on First Street?"

After hearing this, Meng Yuchuan and the Dongfang brothers couldn't help but look at Danhuo on the first street.

Dongfang Xu smiled and said, “No matter who ignited it, since that person did not show up to ignite the second street’s pill fire, it means that he is still unable to refine the second-grade top-grade pill, and he can never be better than Sister Qingyao.”

Meng Qingyao smiled and shook her head: "That's not necessarily true, maybe he doesn't want to be in the spotlight." After a pause, "I really want to meet that person."

Dongfang Hao: "We have come to the Medical Department. As long as that person is in the Medical Department, we will definitely see him."

Meng Yuchuan nodded: "Okay, don't worry about this for now. We are about to worship the sacred tree. Have you decided what kind of incense you want to light?"

Meng Qingyao: "Senior Xia said that as long as I light the pill fire, I will take the first-class incense." Dongfang Hao: "I will try the second-class incense first. If I can't even light the second-class incense, Ah Xu will take the third-class incense."

Dongfang Xu was a little worried: "The nine hall owners who got the wooden plaques will use up nine incense sticks. The ten of us will have to compete with the other nine hall owners for the remaining nine incense sticks. What if it's not our turn and all the incense sticks are lit?"

Hearing this, Meng Yuchuan also showed a worried look and looked up at Gu Xing's back: "Senior Gu is more inclined to the people on the side of the Medical Bureau." If it was Senior Xia who made the arrangements, they would definitely be the first to worship the sacred tree.

Dongfang Hao shook his head and said, "It's not easy to get the blessing of the sacred tree. Don't worry too much. Besides, who says that those who get the wooden plaque will definitely get the blessing of the sacred tree?"

Meng Qingyao looked surprised: "To be able to obtain the wooden plaque, it must have been recognized by the holy land. How could the sacred tree not bless you?"

Dongfang Hao smiled and said, "You forgot that people are greedy. The three grades of incense correspond to three grades of secret realms. The people here and the people in the Medical Department must want higher-grade secret realms."

"Those who have obtained the wooden plaque are protected by the holy land and can only light third-class incense at most. If they want to light second-class and first-class incense, they must make other contributions to the holy land. This is why Senior Xia asked Qingyao to light the second street of Dan fire before worshiping the sacred tree."

"Those nine people who got the wooden plaques, do you think, under the influence of greed, they would only choose the third-grade incense?"

After a pause, Dongfang Hao said with certainty: "All of us can definitely take turns to worship the sacred tree."

After listening to his analysis, Dongfang Xu and Meng Yuchuan nodded in agreement, and their faces were less worried.

Hua Changxi did not walk the pilgrimage route with everyone else, but walked through the nine streets and alleys. Because she had to take a long detour, she could not help but quicken her pace. When she arrived at the square, she ran into a group led by Gu Xing and Xia Zhen.

Gu Xing looked at Hua Changxi, then looked back at the pilgrimage road behind him, as if thinking about something, but said nothing.

Xia Zhen at the side smiled and said, "Why don't you join us on the pilgrimage?"

Hua Changxi smiled and replied: "The pilgrimage road, as the name suggests, is a pilgrimage. I know I don't have the wisdom of a saint, so I won't set foot on this road."

After hearing this, Xia Zhen laughed out loud: "My friend, you are overthinking. There are only a few people in the world who can become saints, but that doesn't stop us from having a heart to become saints."

Without waiting for Hua Changxi to respond, Gu Xing spoke first: "I'm afraid she doesn't even have the heart to become a saint." He glanced at Hua Changxi and walked towards the stone tripod in the square with his crutch.

Hua Changxi didn't expect Gu Xing to talk about her in public, with dissatisfaction in his tone. She was speechless. She didn't think she had offended this old man.

Because of Gu Xing's sudden words, Xia Zhen looked at Hua Changxi deeply. The cultivators from the guardian family who had not paid much attention to her before also looked at her again; even the people from the Medical Bureau looked at her with a little more inquiry.

Hua Changxi looked at everyone's reactions and rolled his eyes.

This old man always causes her trouble!
Gu Xing led everyone to the stone tripod, and then, with a wave of the walking stick in his hand, an altar engraved with green runes appeared.

Seeing the altar, Xia Zhen straightened his clothes again, then respectfully took out the sacred wood tripod and eighteen incense sticks.

Gu Xing looked at the nine hall owners who had received wooden plaques. He wanted to say nothing and let them choose the elixir by themselves, but his eyes swept over Hua Changxi. He thought about how this girl didn't care about Qihuang Hall after becoming the hall owner. After thinking for a while, he said, "Elixir is divided into three levels, and each level corresponds to a secret realm of the corresponding grade."

"The Shenmu Secret Realm is different from the secret realms you discovered in the outside world. There is no such thing as extinction in the Shenmu Secret Realm."
