Chapter 237: Driving Force of the Times (VI)
The candidate for the leader of Lingjing Pavilion is decided by drawing lots, and every secret realm master has the opportunity to take the position. Except for Long Chenyi, everyone else is very satisfied with this.
The first leader of Lingjing Pavilion was Meng Qingyao, who drew lot number one.
"Qingyao, from now on, you are the Pavilion Master of Lingjing Pavilion. As the first Pavilion Master, you must play a leading role."
Xia Zhen looked at Meng Qingyao with a smile and motioned her to sit in the main seat.
Under the gaze of everyone, Meng Qingyao calmed herself down, walked forward calmly, and looked at the masters of the secret realms.
"Everyone, Qingyao is lucky enough to be the first Pavilion Master. If I do anything inappropriate in the future, please correct me and be tolerant."
"Now that the holy land has fallen silent, we have received the recognition and blessing of the sacred tree, so we should work together and strive for the early revival of the holy land."
All the secret realm masters were very respectful and expressed their support.
Zhang Tianshi looked at Xia Zhen and knew that Meng Qingyao and the Xia family were on the same side, so he smiled and asked, "Pavilion Master, we all hope that the holy land will reappear soon, but we still don't know how to do it. Do you have any specific ideas?"
The ruins of the five holy places are all in the capital. In order to obtain the inheritance of the holy places and become the master of the holy places, the royal family and the powerful have all used their own magical powers.
Unfortunately, after hundreds of years of exploration, not to mention re-discovering the holy land, even the heritage of the holy land has not been touched at all.
As the guardian families, Xia, Bai, Wu, Zhu and Long, perhaps they have the method to recreate the holy land?
Meng Qingyao shook her head. The guardian families didn't know how to recreate the holy land. If they knew, the five guardian families would have shown up long ago and taken control of the five holy lands.
"From ancient times to now, the past is too long. If we want to reappear the holy land, we need to explore it together."
"However, the Alchemy Temple is responsible for spreading medical skills and alchemy. I think as long as we work hard in this direction, we will definitely be able to make the temple reappear in the future."
"Just like Qihuang Hall, Qihuang Hall is definitely a place for teaching. The first priority for us secret realm masters is to teach more in Qihuang Hall."
Xia Zhen took over the conversation and said, "Yes, Prince Shou has already decided that starting from the 16th day of the first lunar month, all 18 Qihuang Halls will begin taking turns to teach.
Among the eighteen Qiyan Clinics, only Wei Zhenjie, the Minister of Tianbu, Gu Qiming, the Director of Medical Department, and Gu Jinfan of Xin Guogong Mansion did not obtain the secret realm, while the others were all secret realm masters.
The masters of the secret realms had no objection to teaching in the Qihuang Hall.
After all, they have obtained the secret realm of the sacred tree, so they must do something practical for the holy land.
Xia Zhen looked at Meng Qingyao: "Qingyao, please continue."
Meng Qingyao: "In addition to teaching at the Qihuang Hall, I suggest that each of us take out a portion of the spiritual medicine in our respective secret realms every year to train alchemists."
The output of the secret realm involves the vital interests of the secret realm masters, and everyone immediately started discussing it.
Gu Xing remained silent throughout the whole process. He knew that this proposal would definitely pass.
The appearance of the Hudao family's members in the Medical Department actually harmed the interests of the royal family.
Although everyone knows that the Medical Department is the site of the Dan Sheng Temple, it is still a court department and is still under the control of the royal family.
In order to appease the royal family, the Hudao family must give up part of the profits from the secret realm.
Meng Qingyao's proposal should have been discussed by Xia Zhen and others long ago.
As for Mu Qingying and others.
The Shenmu Secret Realm is like a hot commodity, and all parties are eyeing it.
Mu Qingying and others are more deeply involved with the royal family and the dignitaries in Beijing. If they really don't give any benefits to them, they will definitely be collectively targeted.
Even if these people are unwilling in their hearts, no one will be the first to jump out and oppose it at this time.
It was just as Gu Xing thought. After a discussion, no one stood up to oppose Meng Qingyao's proposal.
However, everyone has their own ideas about how much the secret realm output should be.
Everyone present knew that the current Medical Department was almost entirely staffed by people appointed by the royal family and the powerful. It was hard to say whether the output of the secret realm was being used to train people from the Holy Land or people from various dignitaries.
No one is willing to use his own things to boost the reputation of others, especially when one of them may be his enemy.
"The secret realms we obtained are all different. It's not fair for everyone to get the same output, right?"
"Yes, if you ask me, it is best to determine the amount of spiritual medicine to be taken out according to the grade of the secret realm."
There were many different opinions, and finally Gu Xing stepped forward to make the final decision, requiring each secret realm master to contribute one-tenth of their annual output.
These outputs are uniformly submitted to Lingjing Pavilion, and the Pavilion Master is responsible for distribution.
At this point, the first meeting of the Spiritual Realm Pavilion was over. At this meeting, Meng Qingyao was confirmed as the first Pavilion Master, and it was confirmed that the Secret Realm Masters would teach medical skills and alchemy in the Qihuang Pavilion, and it was determined that each Secret Realm would take out one-tenth of its output every year to train alchemists in the Medical Department.
As soon as the meeting was over, Prince Shou knew everything.
"Heh, it turns out that the people of the Guardian Family also resort to such tactics as isolation and exclusion!"
Prince Shou had a sarcastic smile on his face.
Chu Junhao sighed: "On New Year's Eve, Hua Changxi was indeed a little too disrespectful to Xia Zhen."
Prince Shou smiled: "So, she deserves to be excluded." Then, he stopped smiling and said, "I heard that Huo Yunxiao went to her to discuss cooperation, but she refused?"
Chu Junhao looked helpless: "Yes."
Prince Shou snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Hua Changxi doesn't think that she can manage a high-quality secret realm by herself, right?"
Chu Junhao didn't say anything.
Prince Shou looked at his nephew and said, "I know you want to befriend Hua Changxi, but don't be too hasty. Remember, you are the emperor's son, a prince. Don't humiliate yourself."
Chu Junhao: "Junhao listens to the emperor's uncle's teachings."
Prince Shou added: "It takes people to manage the secret realm, but Hua Changxi has no one at all. I think she doesn't understand the situation."
"Since ancient times, people who offer themselves to others have always been looked down upon. Let her hop around for a while."
"Wait until the other secret realms are on track, and see if Hua Changxi is anxious."
"At that time, she was no longer the one making the demands."
Chu Junhao was not very optimistic about this. Judging from Hua Changxi's personality, he didn't seem like someone who would ask for help from others.
However, when people are really forced into a desperate situation, bowing their heads is the only solution, and even the most arrogant people can only smooth out their edges.
Prince Shou stopped talking about Hua Changxi and said gloomily, "Each secret realm only produces one-tenth of the output. The Xia family really doesn't give face to the royal family."
Hearing this, Chu Junhao hesitated and said, "Uncle, one secret realm has one-tenth of the output, so eighteen secret realms have eighteen times the output."
Quite a lot.
Prince Shou snorted coldly, "What do you know? All that output is for the royal family? Don't we have to share it with other nobles?"
Thinking of the increasingly complicated situation, Chu Junhao's expression became solemn.
At the same time, other forces were also talking about Lingjing Pavilion.
Director Gu could not attend the meeting because he did not obtain the Divine Tree Secret Realm and was not a member of the Lingjing Pavilion. He could only understand all the contents of the meeting with the help of Mu Qingying and Yuan Tianchou.
Director Gu didn't react to other things. The only thing that surprised him was that Gu Xing didn't speak for Hua Changxi!
Hua Changxi is one of only two people who have lit first-class incense. How could Senior Gu not give him any support?
In the old courtyard in the square, someone also asked Gu Xing this question.
"Uncle Gu, why don't you speak up for Chang Xi? Aren't you optimistic about her?"
Gu Xing looked at the old woman who was speaking. If Hua Changxi were here, he would definitely recognize that the old woman was actually Mrs. Sun, who used to be in charge of the kitchen in the servants' hall.
"My dear, Hua Changxi is too self-willed."
"If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object. For a person like her, words cannot change her. Only by letting her stumble in something will she reflect on her behavior."
"The most important thing is that I think that girl lacks responsibility. She wants to gain the benefits of the Holy Land while staying out of it."
"There is no such good thing in the world."
"The Xia family is very ambitious. They are leading the world and aiming for the position of the master of the holy land. Today, Xia Zhen deliberately omitted Hua Changxi to tell everyone, openly and secretly, that the Guardian Family has the final say on matters concerning the Dan Sheng Temple."
"The rumors about the public secret realm have confirmed the Xia family's ambitions. Hua Changxi is the one they want to target."
"Just wait and see. The Guardian Family will continue to target that girl in the future."
After hearing this, Granny Sun couldn't help but asked anxiously, "Uncle Gu, since you know everything, are you really going to let those people suppress Chang Xi?"
Gu Xing: "That girl is too wishful. Someone has to break her naive thinking."
The Hudao Family is the best candidate. Coincidentally, they also nominated Meng Qingyao, whose talent and opportunities are no less than Hua Changxi.
Faced with the shackles of family affection, Hua Changxi was able to leave decisively, but how would she deal with the oppression of the outside world?
