Chapter 213, 8th-grade Divine Tree Secret Realm

Chapter 213, Eighth-Rank Divine Tree Secret Realm

Hua Changxi was not surprised that Gu Jinfan failed to light the elixir incense. Although Gu Jinfan was suspected to be a reborn person and knew the future development direction of the Alchemy Temple, she had not done anything specific to benefit the Alchemy Temple. It was normal that she did not receive the blessing of the sacred tree.

In front of the altar, Gu Jinfan wanted to worship the sacred tree once more, but just as he showed such an expression, Xia Zhen waved his hand impatiently to drive him away, and he could only retreat to his original position absent-mindedly.

Next are Shen Qianfan from Hall 11 and Zhu Qinghuan from Hall 12.

Shen Qianfan was very clear about his own worth, and without hesitation, he directly chose the third-grade incense. After worshiping the sacred tree, he successfully obtained a leaf of the sacred tree.

Although Zhu Qinghuan was a little hesitant when choosing the incense, she finally took the third-grade incense. She thought she would get a piece of the sacred tree leaf like the person before her, but a strange thing happened. She couldn't even light the third-grade incense.

"How is this going?"

Zhu Qinghuan stood in front of the altar, panicked and not knowing what to do. The others were also confused watching this scene.

Xia Zhen looked at Zhu Qinghuan inquiringly. He was a little confused. Logically speaking, being able to obtain the wooden plaque meant being recognized by the holy land. Those who were recognized by the holy land would at least receive some blessings from the sacred tree. This female cultivator would at least be able to obtain a secret realm of the lowest grade.

Gu Xing also frowned and looked at the bewildered Zhu Qinghuan. He couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment, so he could only wave his hand and let Zhu Qinghuan leave first.

Zhu Qinghuan retreated dejectedly to his original position, his face full of confusion and puzzlement.

Huo Yunxiao muttered to Hua Changxi: "Could it be that the wooden plaque was not obtained by Zhu Qinghuan, but was given to her by someone else?"

Hua Changxi felt that it shouldn't be the case. If that was the case, the old man would definitely know it, but looking at the old man's expression, he was obviously confused.

"Okay, stop thinking about it. It's your turn." Huo Yunxiao urged Hua Changxi.

Hua Changxi glanced at him and strode towards the altar.

Coming to the altar, Hua Changxi's eyes fell directly on the first-class incense and the second-class incense. She lit the Dan fire of the first street, unlocked nine Qihuang Halls, and opened Qihuang Hall No. 1, which was definitely a contribution to the Dan Sheng Temple.

But she was not sure how much this contribution was.

It should be okay to light second-grade incense, but since there are better first-grade incense, she will definitely want something better.

Want to take a gamble?
Hua Changxi quickly glanced at Xia Zhen. This man took out three grades of incense. It was definitely not for decoration. He probably thought that someone among the people he brought could light the first-grade incense.

She guessed that the person who could light the first-class incense should be Meng Qingyao.

Meng Qingyao lit the Dan fire of the second street, and Xia Zhen felt that she could light first-class incense. Hua Changxi felt that even if the second street was above the first street, she also opened the Qihuang Hall, and her contribution was comparable to Meng Qingyao.

Thinking of this, Hua Changxi reached out for the first-grade incense.

Seeing that someone else picked up the first-class incense without knowing how high the sky is, Xia Zhen was speechless. He shook his head and looked at Gu Xing. Sure enough, he saw that his face was tense. He comforted him, "Young man, you always have to fall down before you know how much you are worth."

Hearing this, Gu Xing was stunned, looked at Xia Zhen, and said nothing.

Hua Changxi also looked at Xia Zhen. She was very dissatisfied with the contempt in his tone, but thinking that so many people were watching, she didn't bother with him. But she endured it, and she felt a little bit of a gamble in her heart, so she spoke up.

"Senior, it is my freedom to choose which incense to choose. Even if I get nothing in the end, I will accept it."

"As a member of the Guardian family and an elder, it would be fine if you didn't encourage the younger generation, but why do you discourage them?"

"Young people are young because they dare to think, work hard and take risks. Of course, this is the passion that older people lack. It's understandable that you don't understand it."

It was the first time that Xia Zhen was contradicted and refuted in public by a junior, and he was unable to react for a moment.

Others were also in shock.

The people from the Medical Department all had sneers on their faces. The Xia family had brought the young descendants of several major hidden families to compete with them for the Qihuang Hall. Because of their status as protectors, they were directly superior to them, and even Prince Shou had to choose to retreat.

Prince Shou and others felt very aggrieved about this, but now when they saw Hua Changxi stand up and slap Xia Zhen in the face, they felt secretly happy.

Prince Shou whispered to Chu Junhao, "I like Hua Changxi's temper. Of course, the premise is that she has to be on our side." If Hua Changxi's violent temper was directed at himself, the scene would be somewhat ugly.

Chu Junhao smiled and replied, "Hua Changxi has a bad temper, but she is usually angry at things, not people. She didn't mean to go against you, Uncle."

Prince Shou could tell that his nephew was speaking for Hua Changxi and shook his head in disapproval: "She is the kind of person who lacks reverence. Such a person is not easy to subdue."

Chu Junhao smiled and said, "Then I won't subdue him." King Shou glanced at Chu Junhao and said nothing more. The scene where Hua Changxi refuted Xia Zhen just now made him realize that if Hua Changxi used it well, it would be a good sword. So he was too lazy to care about what his nephew wanted to do.

On the other hand, the cultivators from the Guardian Family were angry and annoyed at Hua Changxi's disrespect towards Xia Zhen.

"This Hua Changxi is really undereducated. Which noble family would be interested in a young lady like her?"

"Let alone the rich and powerful, even if she is from an ordinary family, her personality is extremely unpleasant."

Meng Qingyao listened to the whispers of the people around her, a little dazed. Looking at Hua Changxi who firmly defended herself even in the face of Xia Zhen, the ancestor's instructions to her suddenly rang in her mind.

"A strong person doesn't need to be liked by others."

"Qingyao, you must remember that you are now a cultivator. You no longer need to abide by the secular requirements for women. You must fight for everything you want as a man should, as it should be. "

Meng Yuchuan was originally joining others in complaining about Hua Changxi, but when he noticed that his sister looked strange, he immediately asked with concern, "Qingyao, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Qingyao looked at her brother, then looked at her brother Dongfang who was looking at her with concern, and murmured, "I have a feeling that Hua Changxi may be my biggest rival."

Meng Yuchuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Not really. A person who is just trying to attract attention is not qualified to be compared with my sister."

Dongfang Hao followed up, "Hua Changxi contradicted Senior Xia. She seemed bold, but in fact she was stupid. She turned people who had no conflict of interest into enemies. She won't go far. She is indeed not worth worrying about."

After hearing this, Meng Qingyao's thoughts were a little confused. On the one hand, she admired Hua Changxi for having the courage to defend herself in front of Senior Xia. On the other hand, she felt that Dongfang Hao was right and it was indeed unwise to offend someone who was more powerful than herself.

The cultivators from both sides were whispering about Hua Changxi's actions. Gu Xing looked at Hua Changxi who didn't care and felt helpless.

This girl is too casual and doesn't know how to control herself. She can't be a good person in power if she shows her emotions so easily. She really needs to fall into some traps before she knows that she needs to restrain herself when dealing with others.

Xia Zhen also recovered from the shock of being refuted in public. Just when he was about to save his face, Hua Changxi was already standing in front of the Shenmu Ding and kowtowing.

"Sacred tree, I, Hua Changxi, bow my head in worship. Now that spiritual energy has revived, the path to immortality is treacherous. There are countless obstacles on my path to cultivation, and medicinal materials are scarce and hard to find. I hope the sacred tree will have mercy on me and grant me a high-quality secret realm to help me reach the peak of alchemy."

After three kneelings and nine kowtows, Hua Changxi stood up and respectfully inserted the first-grade incense in his hand into the sacred wooden tripod.

The incense was put into the cauldron, accompanied by a slight "crackling" sound, and in an instant, tiny sparks of fire spread from the top of the incense.

Then, wisps of green smoke quietly escaped from the edge of the flame. The curling green smoke rose up, carrying a strong elixir fragrance, and the fragrance quickly spread across the square.

Hua Changxi was closest to the cigarette, and the moment she smelled the fragrance, she entered a mysterious state. She clearly felt that her vision quickly lost focus, but soon, a towering tree appeared in her sight.

Outside the giant tree, a straight wisp of smoke continued to rise, passing over layer after layer of branches and leaves.

'Up and up!'

The levels of the branches and leaves of the giant tree were too obvious. In an instant, Hua Changxi thought of the grade of the secret realm. He suddenly understood in his heart that the higher the green smoke rose, the higher the grade of the secret realm would be.

Unfortunately, when the green smoke passed the seventh layer of branches and leaves, it became difficult to sustain and seemed to be dissipating.

Hua Changxi didn't know what the highest grade of the Shenmu Secret Realm was, and she couldn't control how long the elixir fragrance could burn. Just when she was ready to reach the seventeenth grade secret realm, the Shennong Ding vibrated in her mind.

In an instant, the red smoke that was about to dissipate suddenly jumped up again, quickly passed the eighth layer of branches and leaves, and headed straight for the ninth layer of branches and leaves.

Unfortunately, an accident happened again. When the Danyan reached the ninth layer of branches and leaves, it was still thick, but it could not pass through the ninth layer of branches and leaves.

"Come on, go up~"

Hua Changxi was shouting wildly in his heart, and was so immersed in it that his face turned red.

"Dang~"

In his mind, the Shennong Ding vibrated again, and this time, it directly shook the cigarette away.

Hua Changxi opened her eyes with regret. She felt that if Yanqie exerted more strength, she would be able to break through the ninth layer of branches and leaves, but she didn't expect that it was destroyed by the Shennong Ding.

Before she had time to feel upset, she was met with a pair of stunned eyes.

When Hua Changxi saw Xia Zhen staring at the sacred tree leaf in front of her, she took the sacred tree leaf without hesitation. As soon as the sacred tree leaf came into her hand, it quickly sank into her body and floated in her dantian.
