Chapter 216: Five Great Guardian Families

Before Wei Zhenjie worshipped the sacred tree, Director Gu, who was his confidant, quickly told him in detail what he had learned from his two apprentices, namely, which three grades of elixir incense corresponded to which grades of secret realms.

After Wei Zhenjie knew about this, he quickly glanced at Hua Changxi.

If you light first-grade incense, you will obtain at least a seventh-grade secret realm.

The seventh-grade secret realm supplies the spiritual medicines and plants needed before reaching the out-of-body state. Hua Changxi has now obtained a renewable treasure trove of medicinal materials!

Not to mention, after knowing that lighting the first-grade incense would lead to a secret realm of the seventh grade or above, Wei Zhenjie's heart also began to stir.

He is in charge of the Heaven Department and has so many people under him. The resources consumed every day are calculated in huge quantities. For him, there is never too much resources for cultivation.

Wei Zhenjie walked to the altar, his eyes wandering between the first-grade incense and the second-grade incense.

The Demon-Suppressing Army has now almost completely taken over the Nine Netherworlds Kunmen Pass. Kunmen Pass has many resources for cultivating spiritual consciousness and soul power, which means that he is not short of resources for the Lingtai Realm, Ningshen Realm, and Chuqiao Realm. What he needs are the cultivation resources for the Hedao Realm and above.

Although he still has a long way to go before he can reach the Hedao realm, he can prepare the resources for cultivation in advance.

Moreover, from what he had learned, cultivation resources at the Hedao realm and above were extremely rare and hard to find. The high-quality sacred tree secret realm of the Dan Sheng Temple was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all cultivators who wanted to find their own path.

Even though the chance of lighting first-class incense is slim, he still wants to give it a try.

So Wei Zhenjie chose the first-class incense.

When Gu Xing saw this, he sighed in his heart but also understood. Unlike Director Gu, little Weizi had good talent and character. He really had the opportunity to cultivate his own path. Now that he had discovered a secret realm that could provide resources for cultivation in the Hedao realm, he would definitely not give up.

Xia Zhen did not show any contempt this time. This was his recognition of the Minister of the Heavenly Department. In his opinion, others who chose the first-class incense were ignorant of themselves, but the Minister of the Heavenly Department chose it because he was fighting for his own opportunity.

Unfortunately, Wei Zhenjie failed and was unable to light the first-class incense.

Although Wei Zhenjie was somewhat disappointed with the result, he could still accept it. He smiled indifferently and stepped back.

"It's all on you."

Zhang Tianshi nodded towards Wei Zhenjie without saying any words of comfort. He walked straight to the altar. He was very decisive and chose a stick of second-grade incense without hesitation.

As soon as the elixir was inserted into the sacred tree, wisps of green smoke began to rise.

The third-grade incense burned too quickly and there was no chance to see it carefully before it burned out. Zhang Tianshi was the first person to light the second-grade incense. The burning time of the second-grade incense was neither long nor short, which was enough for Hua Changxi to carefully see the process of the smoke condensing into green leaves.

"one two three four……"

Before the elixir incense burned out, Hua Changxi saw four obvious flashes of green light in the green smoke.

Combining the eight veins on the sacred tree leaf that she had obtained, Hua Changxi guessed that Zhang Tianshi had obtained a sacred tree leaf with four veins.

The eight lines on the sacred tree leaf represent the eighth-grade secret realm, and the four lines represent the fourth-grade secret realm.

"Fourth-grade secret realm?"

Hua Changxi frowned slightly. It was obvious that Zhang Tianshi had made no contribution to the Dan Sheng Temple, but he was able to light second-class incense. Why?
Apart from gaining recognition from the holy land and making contributions to the holy land, does it also have something to do with the realm of the worshiper?

"Okay, the nine people who received the wooden plaques have already worshipped the sacred tree. Now it's the turn of the others to worship."

Xia Zhen looked at Gu Xing and said, "The remaining nine Qihuang Hall masters and the ten young people I brought with me will take turns to come forward and pay homage."

Just as Gu Xing was about to nod, Prince Shou spoke first: "Senior Xia, you have ten people, and we only have nine. I need to add one more person."

Hearing this, Xia Zhen's face darkened: "Shou Prince, worshiping the sacred tree is not a child's play, and not everyone can worship the sacred tree. The nine of you who were elected by relying on power were not qualified to worship the sacred tree."

"Let them worship now. I have already taken a step back for the sake of Fellow Daoist Gu."

Gu Xing also looked at Prince Shou with a gloomy face: "Prince, you have to understand that we are now worshipping the sacred tree in the holy land. The sacred tree belongs to the Dan Sheng Temple, not the Medical Bureau."

Seeing that Xia Zhen and Gu Xing were both angry, Prince Shou could only suppress his anger and compromised, "Okay, no more people, but the owners of the halls must start the worship first."

"Why?"

The monks from the Guardian Family immediately refused to do this. It would have been fine for them to wait for the nine hall masters who had received the wooden plaques, but why should they now wait for the other hall masters who had risen to the top through power?

Xia Zhen gave them a calming look and looked at Prince Shou: "Okay, you guys will start first."

When the people from the Medical Department saw that he agreed so readily, they did not feel happy as if their goal had been achieved. Instead, they felt a little heavy.

Hua Changxi looked at the remaining nine pavilion masters, then looked at the ten young cultivators who all had wood spirit bodies brought by Xia Zhen, and his eyes flashed.

Does it mean that whether or not one can receive the blessing of the sacred tree depends on one’s qualifications?
The nine museum owners came forward to pay their respects in the order of their museum numbers.

The first person to pay homage was Yan Qianying, the third son of the Dong'an Palace.

Yan Qianying didn't even look at the first-grade incense. She hesitated for a while between the second-grade and third-grade incense, and then chose the second-grade incense.

"Ok?"

The second-class incense is lit!
Not to mention the surprise on the faces of others, even Yan Qianying herself was a little surprised. "One, two, three, four, five!"

Hua Changxi was surprised and confused when he saw that the leaf of the sacred tree in front of Yan Qianying had five lines.

Could it be that the blessing of the sacred tree is related to other factors?

Xia Zhen looked at Yan Qianying who took the Shenmu Leaf, frowned at first, then asked with a smile: "Yan Xiaoyang is yours?"

Yan Qianying was a little surprised that Xia Zhen mentioned Yan Xiaoyang, but she quickly replied: "Xiaoyang is my younger brother, Senior Xia knows Xiaoyang?"

Hearing this, Xia Zhen showed a look of realization and said with a smile, "We have met once." He said nothing more and signaled the cultivators on their side to come forward and pay their respects.

The first person from the Hudao family to come forward to pay tribute was Xia Ziyang.

When Xia Ziyang was bowing, Hua Changxi quietly asked Huo Yunxiao beside him: "Is Yan Xiaoyang very powerful?"

Huo Yunxiao shook his head and laughed, "You really are like the legendary recluse who lives in seclusion, knowing nothing and knowing no one." As he spoke, he nudged Wen Lanzhou and said, "You are more familiar with Yan Xiaoyang, go and talk to her."

Wen Lanzhou saw Hua Changxi's gaze turned to him, so he could only say: "Yan Xiaoyang is the sixth disciple of the head of Taisu Palace, and is a senior brother of Junior Sister Chang Xin. The head's direct disciples must all be geniuses."

After hearing this answer, Hua Changxi suddenly realized that her family's Shi Niang's background seemed to be very powerful, and everyone she knew was so influential: "So Yan Xiaoyang is Shi Niang's senior brother." After a pause, he continued to ask, "Okay, Senior Xia wouldn't ask about Yan Xiaoyang for no reason. Is there anything special about him?"

Wen Lanzhou really thought about it seriously: "Junior Brother Xiaoyang is indeed a very special person."

Hua Changxi: "Why is it special?"

Wen Lanzhou: "He is a very nice person. I have never seen him get angry with anyone."

Hua Changxi uttered an "ah" and was somewhat speechless: "What's so special about this?"

Huo Yunxiao also nodded in agreement: "Yeah, that's not special at all, he's just a good guy at best."

Wen Lanzhou shook his head: "You haven't seen Junior Brother Xiaoyang. He is gentle from the inside out. He is not the kind of good guy you think he is."

Hua Changxi didn't think that being nice was special. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Xia Ziyang lighting up a second-grade incense stick and could only look away from the cigarette.

"one two three four."

The sacred tree leaf that Xia Ziyang obtained had four lines on it, which meant that he had obtained a fourth-grade secret realm.

Next it was the turn of the Medical Department. Master Jiexian from Xiangguo Temple also chose second-grade incense, but unfortunately, the incense did not burn.

After that, it was Bai Zhixin from the Hudao family who lit the second-grade elixir incense and finally obtained the fourth-grade secret realm.

Then it was the turn of the Medical Department. This time, Tang Yufeng, who came from the first family in the capital, came forward to worship the sacred tree. Tang Yufeng was relatively conservative and directly chose the third-grade incense.

Unfortunately, the third-grade incense was not burned either.

It was Wu Lingyue from the Hudao family's turn again. He successfully lit the second-grade incense and obtained the fourth-grade secret realm.

Next came Lin Ruohong, a disciple of Sanqing Palace from the Medical Department. Lin Ruohong did not take any risks and chose the third-grade incense. Unfortunately, the third-grade incense did not burn either.

Then it was Zhu Jinglan's turn from the Hudao family. Like Xia Ziyang, Bai Zhixin, and Wu Lingyue before him, he chose the second-grade incense without hesitation, lit it, and obtained the fourth-grade secret realm.

By this time, all six second-grade incense sticks had been lit.

That is to say, the remaining twelve people can only choose first-grade and third-grade incense.

There are two sticks of first-class incense left, and six sticks of third-class incense left.

Hua Changxi looked at Huo Yunxiao and Wen Lanzhou: "Xia Ziyang, Bai Zhixin, Wu Lingyue, Zhu Jinglan, these four people seem to know that they can light second-class incense. Do you know their origins?"

Huo Yunxiao's face was not very good: "Their surname is their origin." Seeing Hua Changxi's puzzled expression, knowing that she didn't understand these, he could only explain, "Do you know which families are the guardian families?"

Hua Changxi shook his head.

Huo Yunxiao: "The Xia family of the Central Continent, the Long family of the Eastern Continent, which is also the Azure Dragon Continent, the Zhu family of the Southern Continent, which is also the Suzaku Continent, the Bai family of the Western Continent, which is also the White Tiger Continent, and the Wu family of the Northern Continent, which is also the Black Tortoise Continent."

After hearing this, Hua Changxi vaguely understood why Xia Ziyang and the other four were able to light the second-grade incense.

The protector had made contributions to the Four Spirit Realms. In addition, Xia Ziyang and the other four were wood spirit bodies, which met the criteria for talent selection at the Dan Sheng Temple, so they were blessed by the sacred tree.

Hua Changxi looked at Yan Qianying, then at the angry-looking siblings Long Chenyi and Long Jin. She guessed that if Yan Qianying hadn't lit the second-grade incense, his second-grade incense would have belonged to the Long family.

After that, except Meng Qingyao, no one chose the first-grade incense anymore, and the rest of them stared at the last six third-grade incense sticks.

I thought the competition for the six sticks of third-grade incense would be fierce, but who would have thought that after a round, there would still be some left.

On the Medical Department side, Yue Heng from Xiping Palace, Feng Che from Beizhen Palace, and Wei Xiao from Nanding Palace lit three lamp boxes, while on the Hudao Family side, only Long Chenyi lit the third-grade incense, while the others all failed.

At the end of the third-grade incense, there were still two sticks left.
