Chapter 214: Gains and Losses

Chapter 214: Gains and Losses

First-grade incense is as thick as a fist. Unlike third-grade incense that burns out quickly, first-grade incense can continue burning for a long time. Now that the incense is burned out, the air is still filled with the rich fragrance of the elixir.

Bathed in the fragrance of the elixir, most people have not yet recovered from their shock. They did not expect that Hua Changxi could really light first-grade incense.

Not everyone was surprised that Hua Changxi lit the first-grade incense. Gu Xing wasn't, nor was Gu Jinfan. Even Meng Qingyao had an expression that said "she knew it".

As early as when Hua Changxi pushed open the door of Dan Sheng Temple and took away the ten wooden plaques of Qihuang Hall, Gu Xing knew that this girl had a special meaning to Dan Sheng Temple. He had long expected that she would be able to light first-class incense.

Gu Jinfan's expression was a little complicated. She was not surprised that Hua Changxi could light the first-class incense. After knowing that Hua Changxi was behind those things that were very different from the development trajectory of her previous life, she knew that this person was a variable.

However, when she saw Hua Changxi lighting the first-class incense, who had survived an early death because of her rebirth, she found it difficult to let go of the fact that she, after being reborn, was even worse than a person who had died early in her previous life.

On the side of the Hudao family, Meng Qingyao's expression was particularly solemn. She came to the Medical Bureau with the family's mission and expectations, and came to take over the Dan Sheng Temple. But at this moment, looking at Hua Changxi who lit the first-class incense, she had a strong premonition that this person might really be her biggest opponent.

Because the first-class incense was lit, everyone looked at Hua Changxi with a serious look instead of the previous indifference.

Before this, for the people from the Medical Bureau, even if Hua Changxi could crack the secret of Qihuang Hall, even if she could refine a top-grade pill, no one really took her seriously because she had no power or influence.

Everyone present knew that no matter how strong the Mavericks were, their influence was limited.

But now, Hua Changxi, who has obtained the high-quality secret realm of the sacred tree, is completely different from before, and his importance has instantly increased by several levels.

For the people from the Guardian Family, before this, Hua Changxi was just one of the eighteen hall masters, and even if he got a wooden token, he would not pose any threat to them.

But Hua Changxi, who obtained the high-quality secret realm of the sacred tree, was equivalent to gaining a high degree of recognition from the sacred tree. This alone might affect their plans for the Dan Sheng Temple.

Amid the various looks in the crowd, Hua Changxi retreated with a stern face. At the moment, she was not as happy as she had imagined. Instead, she felt a little heavy.

As soon as the Shenmu leaf entered her dantian, she received all the information about the Shenmu secret realm.

There are a total of nine grades of the Divine Tree Secret Realm in the Dan Sheng Temple, and the one she obtained is the eighth-grade Divine Tree Secret Realm.

In the first-grade divine tree secret realm, all the spiritual medicines and plants needed by the cultivators in the Qi training realm grow; in the second-grade secret realm, the spiritual medicines and plants needed by the cultivators in the Qi training and Qi sea realms grow; in the third-grade secret realm, the spiritual medicines and plants needed by the cultivators in the Qi training, Qi sea, and Dan formation realms grow.
By analogy, the secret realm of the eighth-grade sacred tree grows the spiritual medicines and plants needed for the eight realms of Qi training, Qi sea, Dan formation, infant transformation, Lingtai, concentration, out-of-body experience, and Hedao.

Obtaining an eighth-grade sacred tree secret realm that had never been destroyed was equivalent to Hua Changxi waiting for a huge medicinal material resource library. She should be happy, but an eighth-grade secret realm was not so easy to obtain.

The key to the secret realm is the sacred tree leaf. From the moment she took the sacred tree leaf, she was connected to the sacred tree.

When she successfully opened the No. 1 Qihuang Clinic, she had no sense of connection with the Dan Sheng Temple, but at this moment, because she took over the Eighth-Rank Divine Tree Secret Realm, she really became a member of the Dan Sheng Temple.

If the Dan Temple encounters any crisis in the future, she must be the first to show up to save the situation.

Thinking of the demons encountered in the center of the array in the Saint Palace, and thinking of Baili Changfeng who sacrificed himself to petrify in order to block the crack in the array, Hua Changxi felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her shoulders. She was happy to obtain the eighth-grade divine tree secret realm; but becoming a member of the Dan Saint Temple made her feel trapped.

At this moment, Hua Changxi had never so clearly understood what "gains and losses" meant. Everything has a price!

Because Hua Changxi didn't seem to be very interested, everyone expressed that they were a little confused. Even Gu Xing looked at her many times with a strange expression.

“Although Hua Changxi lit the first-grade elixir incense, judging from her appearance, the grade of the secret realm should not be too high.”

Mu Qingying, Yuan Tianchou and Shen Qianfan, who had obtained the sacred tree leaves, looked at each other silently after hearing the discussions of the people around them.

After receiving the Shenmu Leaf, they understood the situation of the Shenmu Secret Realm.

The three levels of elixir incense correspond to three levels of secret realms. By lighting the third level incense, you can obtain one of the first, second, or third level secret realms; by lighting the second level incense, you can obtain one of the fourth, fifth, or sixth level secret realms; by lighting the first level incense, you can obtain one of the seventh, eighth, or ninth level secret realms.

Hua Changxi lit the first-grade incense, and at least he would get a seventh-grade secret realm, a seventh-grade sacred tree secret realm. The spiritual medicine resources inside could supply cultivators who could cultivate to the out-of-body realm.

Hua Changxi was not unhappy about such abundant resources. He was probably so happy that he wanted to fly in his heart, but he couldn't show it in front of others.

"Friend Hua, what level of secret realm have you obtained?"

This was asked by Xia Zhen. As an old-school cultivator, Xia Zhen knew very well that it was taboo to inquire about other people's opportunities, but he really couldn't help it. He couldn't understand why Hua Changxi could light the first-class incense. Could it be that she was the one who lit the alchemy fire on the first street of the Alchemy Temple?
Hua Changxi looked at Xia Zhen and asked with a smile: "Senior Xia, I heard that the guardians are looking for people with predestined relationships everywhere. May I ask, besides the Medical Department, have you placed people in other holy sites?"

Hearing this question, Xia Zhen's face suddenly darkened: "Friend Hua, what the protector did is not something you should ask."

Hua Changxi also put away the smile on his face and looked directly at Xia Zhen: "Senior Xia, you are not the master of the holy land. It is not your place to ask me how many secret realms I have obtained."

Xia Zhen really didn't expect that he would be contradicted by a junior several times in one day. This was the first time he met someone who didn't give him face. He smiled wryly and said, "Young friend Hua seems to be very hostile to me?"

Hua Changxi also smiled with a fake smile: "Senior Xia, you and I didn't know each other before today, why would I be hostile to you? Didn't you stir up this hostility? Why are you asking me back?"

Xia Zhen stopped talking, looked at Hua Changxi deeply, and was the first to look away.

Before coming to the Medical Bureau, based on the information collected by his subordinates, the impression Hua Changxi gave him was: disobedient to elders, arrogant and unruly, not close to her family, and not having many friends. Even though she had some talent in alchemy, she was an unpleasant and unsociable girl.

This kind of person is similar to those warriors in the past who liked to fight alone. They don't know how to cooperate, and don't know how to develop their own power. They can't make any big waves and are not in his eyes at all.

But after meeting and talking in person, Xia Zhen discovered that his judgment of Hua Changxi was too one-sided. This was a person who was not bound by worldly rules. The sharpness she displayed made him, a cultivator in the Lingtai realm, feel deeply fearful.

This fear came out of nowhere, making Xia Zhen feel a little absurd and ridiculous. At this moment, he just smiled and shook his head to shake off the idea.

It was not until a short time later that Xia Zhen realized that this fear came from Hua Changxi's destructive nature that disregarded rules.
