Chapter 219, The Big Picture

Xia Zhen did not object to Hua Changxi's suggestion on how to deal with the remaining three incense sticks.
We must leave a glimmer of hope in everything and not block all intersections. This is the code of conduct that the protectors have always adhered to.

However, he was in a complicated mood at the moment. He did not expect that such a young Hua Changxi had already realized this.

Xia Zhen looked at Meng Qingyao and others he brought with him. He would definitely not admit that they were worse than Hua Changxi. However, Hua Changxi was the only one who dared to stand up and express his opinion on how to deal with Dan Xiang.

Is it that Meng Qingyao and others don’t have such foresight?

not necessarily.

They are just used to staying in the position of obeying orders and don't consider whether the future of the holy land has anything to do with ordinary monks.

However, Hua Changxi's position is far above theirs. He has opened the three secret realms corresponding to the remaining three incense sticks to all cultivators. This is a view of the overall situation.

What kind of person considers the overall situation?

Those in power!
The fear that had been suppressed in Xia Zhen's heart surged out again, and became stronger and stronger.

Not only Xia Zhen had complicated feelings, but Gu Xing also had complicated feelings at this moment. He really didn't expect that Hua Changxi would ask him to fight for the remaining three incense sticks for ordinary cultivators.

From the perspective of the long-term development of the holy land, it would undoubtedly be most beneficial to the holy land to open the three secret realms corresponding to the remaining three incense sticks to all monks who are interested in alchemy and medical skills.

He thought Hua Changxi wanted to occupy more secret realms, but her original intention was to consider the holy land the most.

Gu Xing looked at Hua Changxi with some self-blame in his eyes, and at the same time realized that his understanding of this girl was still too underestimated and one-sided.

Wei Zhenjie looked at Hua Changxi with a little more seriousness in his eyes.

Where is the Dan Temple?
It is a holy place for the medical skills of alchemy in the Four Spiritual Realms, a place of pilgrimage that all doctors and alchemists yearn for, and it shoulders the important responsibility of spreading medical skills and alchemy.

He also didn't expect that among so many people present, the one who really considered the fact that the Dan Sheng Temple was open to all cultivators from the four spiritual realms was actually this young lady.

Now, he somewhat understood why she was the first person to discover the secret of Qihuangguan.

This is a person who truly wants to spread the medical skills of Dandao!

Gu Xing is truly concerned about the development of the holy land. As a protector, although Xia Zhen has selfish desires, he also hopes that the holy land will be better. Therefore, neither of them objects to Hua Changxi's proposal.

I thought Prince Shou would not agree, but unexpectedly, he did not object.

In Prince Shou's opinion, the capital is the royal family's base camp, and the secret realm is open to everyone, so the royal family will definitely be able to get the upper hand.

Since he couldn't get the remaining three incense sticks, he might as well leave it as it is.

Seeing that Gu Xing and Shou Wang both agreed to Hua Changxi's proposal, Xia Zhen noticed the crowd outside the square and quickly looked at Meng Qingyao: "Qingyao, you and Hua Xiaoyou are both the ones who lit the first-class incense. What do you think of the remaining three incense sticks?"

Meng Qingyao was a little stunned by the sudden question, but she quickly regained her composure.

After she was diagnosed with a fire and wood spirit at the age of eight, she became a disciple of the Xia family's great elder. She knew the principles of the guardian's behavior and instantly understood what Uncle Xia Zhen wanted her to say.

"Uncle Xia, Qingyao also thinks that the secret realm corresponding to the remaining three incense sticks should be opened to all cultivators. The Alchemy Temple is a holy place for all those who like medicine and alchemy, and we should leave a glimmer of opportunity for them."

Xia Zhen nodded in satisfaction and looked at Gu Xing: "I also think that Qingyao and Hua Xiaoyou's proposal is very fair. What do you think, Gu Daoyou?"

When Gu Xing saw that Xia Zhen asked Meng Qingyao to share Hua Changxi's proposal, he frowned, but quickly relaxed.

Hua Changxi is obviously not interested in power. Maybe it would be good to let her be polished by power.

Gu Xing did not correct Xia Zhen: "I also think this is a good idea."

Xia Zhen smiled and looked at Prince Shou: "What do you think, Prince Shou?"

Prince Shou snorted, looking angry: "The two seniors have already discussed it, why bother asking me?"

Xia Zhen ignored him and said directly: "Since the prince agrees, then let's follow Qingyao and Hua Xiaoyou's proposal. The secret realm corresponding to the remaining three incense sticks will be open to all cultivators." Wei Zhenjie took over with a smile and asked the key question: "Senior Xia, I wonder how to light the remaining three incense sticks? Who should be in charge of the secret realm bestowed by the sacred tree afterwards?"

Xia Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Qingyao and Hua Xiaoyou can light first-class incense, so they can also light third-class incense. Each of them will light a stick of three incense sticks. As for the first-class incense..."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Xing interrupted him: "Since Hua Yatou proposed it, let her do it."

Xia Zhen really wanted Meng Qingyao to use this to expand her reputation, but under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he couldn't find a good reason to refute Gu Xing, so he could only say with embarrassment: "It's not that I look down on you, little friend Hua, but there are requirements for lighting first-class incense."

"Qingyao has lit the Dan Fire of the Second Street of the Ninth Street. I think she has a better chance of lighting the remaining first-class incense. Let Qingyao try first."

Hua Changxi didn't want to passively follow other people's arrangements. Before this, she had already figured it out. Unlocking the Qihuang Hall and lighting up the wooden sign could increase the speed of cultivation; lighting up the Jiujie Dan Lantern could also increase the speed of cultivation.

If she lights the alchemy lamp now and receives the blessing of the sacred tree, perhaps she can increase her cultivation speed. She will not give up this benefit.

In particular, Hua Changxi was very dissatisfied with Xia Zhen's contemptuous words, so she spoke herself: "I'll know if it can be lit or not by trying it." After that, she stepped forward and picked up the first-grade incense, and without waiting for Xia Zhen to stop her, she directly inserted it into the Shenmu Ding.

Sparks suddenly rose, green smoke curled up, and the rich fragrance of elixir floated over the Medical Bureau again.

Hua Changxi looked at the green smoke. This time she didn't have the mysterious feeling she had when she lit the first-class incense before. She was a little disappointed. She could only smile and shrug at Xia Zhen: "First-class incense is not as difficult as Senior Xia said."

Xia Zhen felt very aggrieved after hearing this, but now was not the time to pursue him, the first-class incense had been lit, and the leaves of the sacred tree were already condensing, the most urgent task was to arrange someone to be in charge of the secret realm.

"This secret realm is made of..."

Hua Changxi interrupted Xia Zhen: "This secret realm, as well as the secret realms corresponding to the remaining two third-level incense sticks, should be handed over to Senior Gu to manage."

Seeing Xia Zhen frowning and wanting to refute, Hua Changxi spoke first: "Senior Xia, only Senior Gu is the one who is wholeheartedly concerned about the Dan Sheng Temple. Only by letting him take charge of the public secret realm can we convince everyone."

This statement was immediately supported by King Shou: "This king also thinks that it is better to let Senior Gu take charge of the three secret realms. If the secret realms are handed over to other people, this king will be the first to disagree."

Wei Zhenjie also agreed: "It is indeed fair for Senior Gu to be in charge of the public secret realm."

Zhang Tianshi also nodded, and the people from the Medical Department expressed their agreement one after another.

The cultivators from the Guardian Family looked a little unhappy.

As the protector of the Central Continent, Xia Zhen definitely wants the Xia family to take charge of the public secret realm. It can be seen that everyone supports Gu Xing, and his face couldn't help but look a little ugly. He was even more unhappy with Hua Changxi who made the proposal.

Dongfang Hao suddenly spoke up: "We have no objection to Senior Gu being in charge of the public secret realms, but Senior Gu may not be able to handle three secret realms by himself. How about asking Senior Xia to assist?"

Seeing that his people finally knew to stand up and fight for their interests, Xia Zhen's expression gradually improved. He ignored the others and just smiled at Gu Xing: "What do you think, Brother Gu?"

Gu Xing glanced at Hua Changxi, who had proposed to let him take over the three secret realms and then turned to look at Dan Yanqie, and felt helpless.

Although he is just a gatekeeper, he is one with the holy land. Only when the holy land is good can he be good.

Now that various forces are pouring in, there will definitely be constant disputes in the future. In this case, he also needs some bargaining chips to restrain all parties and cultivate confidants.

Gu Xing naturally agreed to take over the three secret realms: "Okay, I will take over the three public secret realms, and Brother Xia will assist me."

Seeing that he was so rude and didn't even try to be humble, Xia Zhen felt uncomfortable again, but since things had come to this point, he couldn't say anything else.

"one two three four five six seven!"

When Hua Changxi saw that this time the first-class incense only condensed into a seven-striped divine tree leaf, the complacency he had just felt for surpassing Meng Qingyao disappeared.

The reason she was able to obtain the eighth-grade secret realm was not because of herself, but because of the Shennong Ding.

This opportunity, which was not obtained by herself but by external factors, made her feel a little unsure.

But soon, Hua Changxi cheered up again. The Shennong Ding was also one of her opportunities. She didn't need to doubt herself because of it. However, she couldn't be complacent in the future.

"Senior Gu, come and receive the sacred tree leaves."
