Chapter 240: Driving Force of the Times
Chapter 240, The Pusher of the Times (IX)
"Master Hua, are you making such a fuss? I just saw you standing at the door and kindly invited you to sit down. How can you conclude that we are not of the same kind?"
Huo Yunxiao felt that Hua Changxi was not only difficult to get close to, but also liked to make trouble.
Seeing that he was still pestering her, Hua Changxi didn't hesitate: "Huo Yunxiao, do you know that your so-called 'kindness' is arrogant?"
"You were very angry when I rejected you. You think that since you are the disciple of the Minister of Heaven and you are willing to make friends with me, I should be grateful and happily accept your request."
"If I don't want to, it would be ungrateful and disrespectful."
"Your behavior is exactly the same as what the Meng family did just now."
"You guys all think you are superior to me. As a lower-ranking person, I should cooperate with you unconditionally."
Huo Yunxiao opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but didn't know what to say.
Hua Changxi looked at him and said, "If you treat others with sincerity, you should know that others also have their own principles and ideas, and they may reject you. If you are rejected, you should retreat politely. But what are you doing?"
"Isn't this considered imposing your will on others?"
Huo Yunxiao was silent. He looked at Hua Changxi and returned to the museum with an uncomfortable look on his face.
Seeing Huo Yunxiao return empty-handed and being scolded by Hua Changxi, the expressions of the other people in the museum were a little strange.
The people who came today gathered forces from all sides of the capital.
Representatives of the royal family, representatives of nobles, representatives of aristocratic families, representatives of officials sent by the court, as well as representatives from sects such as the Tianshi Mansion, Xiangguo Temple, and Sanqing Palace all came.
The reason why it is so important is that the eighteen owners of Qihuang Hall can, to a certain extent, be regarded as the first batch of seed players for the Restoration of Dan Temple.
Flower Changxi.
This master of the secret realm who did not give Xia Zhen face in public, her situation had already been clearly understood by all parties.
"It is indeed as the investigation shows, he does what he wants!"
Many representatives shook their heads in their hearts. In their opinion, even if they were dissatisfied, they should not speak out in public and cut off the possibility of future cooperation.
Those in power should not show their emotions.
Prince Shou also whispered to Chu Junhao beside him: "Xiao Qi, Hua Changxi is very difficult to deal with."
Chu Junhao smiled and said, "Uncle, I don't think so. What Hua Changxi wants is just to treat each other with sincerity and equality."
Prince Shou sneered: "Treat each other with sincerity?" He shook his head as if he had heard a joke.
When Chu Junhao saw this, he didn't say anything. He just looked at Hua Changxi at the gate of the courtyard, with a different emotion flashing in his eyes.
Just when everyone was commenting on Hua Changxi, Mu Qingying appeared in a blue dress.
As soon as she came out, everyone looked over.
Mu Qingying was a little nervous. The significance of this lecture was completely different from her previous lectures at the Qihuang Hall.
In the past, she didn’t need to worry too much about whether the class was good or not; but now, she represents Dan Sheng Temple to a certain extent. As the owner of Dan Sheng Temple’s Qihuang Hall, the quality of her classes is to be judged by the world.
In particular, in the past, only people who came to listen to the lectures were from the Medical Department, but today, many of the people who came to listen to the lectures were powerful people in the capital.
These people were very knowledgeable. They had known about the revival of spiritual energy very early on, and they knew more about cultivation than she did.
Moreover, these people have a huge influence on communication and can guide the direction of many things.
Thinking about this, Mu Qingying felt a lot of pressure. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before starting to teach.
She couldn't bring shame to her master, so she used all her skills for this class and would never give anyone the chance to underestimate her.
Mu Qingying taught the process of refining the second-grade golden elixir and demonstrated it personally.
The Jindan is the most difficult to refine among the second-grade pills. It is the breakthrough pill necessary for most Qi Hai cultivators to break through the bottleneck and enter the Jindan realm.
When Hua Changxi saw that several of the herbs Mu Qingying used to refine the Ningjin Pill were not prepared properly, he knew that she would definitely not be able to refine the top-grade Ningjin Pill.
However, Mu Qingying's alchemy techniques and processes were still very smooth, and her explanations were relatively easy to understand, which made many people present nod their heads.
Under the attention of everyone, although Mu Qingying was nervous, she still successfully refined the Golden Pill in one go.
The second-grade high-grade golden elixir!
Smelling the rich elixir fragrance in the air and looking at the golden elixir floating above the elixir furnace, everyone cast approving glances at Mu Qingying.
"It is true that a strict teacher produces an excellent student. Director Gu, congratulations. Master Mu will surely be a great alchemist ranked among the top in the Four Spirit Realms in the future."
Other hall owners also came forward to exchange their experience in alchemy with Mu Qingying. Hua Changxi looked at Mu Qingying who was surrounded by people, but did not come forward and turned around to leave the No. 1 Qihuang Hall.
Pharmacist Xu saw her leave immediately, hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward and said, "Master, shouldn't you go over and say hello to Master Mu?"
Hua Changxi shook his head: "No need."
After hearing this, Pharmacist Xu looked helpless.
How can it be useless? But it is very necessary. This is the most basic etiquette in socializing!
On the way back to the No. 13 Qihuang Hall, passing by the old courtyard in the square, Hua Changxi thought of the congested scene at the No. 1 Qihuang Hall just now, and decided to give her lecture in this square on the day she gave her lecture.
People in class cannot just stand there, and thinking of the large number of futons laid out in the No. 1 Qihuang Clinic which had been unsealed, Hua Changxi immediately sent a message to Jing Le, asking him if he had any extra futons.
Jingle quickly replied: "How much do you want?"
Hua Changxi estimated the number of people who came to Qihuang Hall No. 1 today: "About 10,000."
This time the reply was not so timely. It was not until Hua Changxi brought Pharmacist Xu and others back to the No. 13 Qihuang Hall that Jingle replied: "OK."
Hua Changxi: "When can I go get it?"
Jing: "Any time."
After receiving the reply, Hua Changxi, Pharmacist Xu and others said, "I'm going out for a while," and left.
Seeing her leave, Pharmacist Xu and others were a little nervous, fearing that she would disappear as she did before and would not reappear for several months.
Fortunately, Hua Changxi came back quickly this time.
However, after coming back, he went straight into the east room and refused to come out.
Hua Changxi entered the secret realm to collect first-grade elixirs. She had already thought about what she was going to teach.
She talked about spiritual plants!
There are many kinds of first-grade spiritual plants in the secret realm. When she gives lectures, she takes out the corresponding spiritual plants to help the audience remember better.
In the next ten days or so, Hua Changxi would go to listen to classes taught by other museum owners.
The current owners of the Qihuang Clinic are indeed people with some talent and attainments in the art of Dandao medicine. Even Director Gu Qiming and Minister of Tianbu Wei Zhenjie have personally taught a class.
The two did not personally demonstrate the alchemy process, but talked about their experiences in alchemy, which can provide some inspiration and guidance for those who are new to alchemy.
The classes given by other museum owners all focus on how to make elixirs.
In fact, everyone's alchemy process is similar, which leads to different qualities of the final pills, simply because everyone has different levels of control over each step of alchemy.
I don’t know if they were hiding their abilities, but all the hall owners taught how to refine second-grade pills.
Hua Changxi didn't believe that all hall owners were unable to refine third-grade pills, and felt that many hall owners were hiding their strength.
After more than ten days of attending classes, the one that people talked about the most was Meng Qingyao.
There was no other reason, it was just because she had refined a furnace of top-grade second-grade pills while teaching.
When the top-grade elixir is refined, elixir will overflow, and the elixir contains the rhyme of Tao. Those who were close to Meng Qingyao during the class were all touched by some of the rhyme of Tao.
Because of this, Meng Qingyao's reputation reached an unprecedented high.
Nowadays, no matter where you go in the Medical Department, you can hear people talking about Meng Qingyao.
The 28th day of the first lunar month is the day when Hua Changxi teaches.
On the 27th, after Hua Changxi finished listening to Wu Lingyue's class, she asked Pharmacist Xu and others to post notices outside the No. 13 Qihuang Hall and outside the gate of the Medical Bureau, telling everyone that she would give a lecture in the square tomorrow.
"Why is Hua Changxi so fond of grandstanding?"
In the No. 7 Qihuang Clinic, Meng Yuchuan kept complaining about Hua Changxi to Meng Qingyao and the Dongfang brothers.
"All the museum owners give lectures in the Qihuang Museum, but she likes to show off and goes to the square to give lectures."
"What does she want to do, to highlight that she is special?"
Dongfang Hao thought about how he would see Hua Changxi standing in the crowd every time he went to other Qihuang Halls to attend classes: "Maybe she just thought the square was big enough to accommodate all the people who came to attend the class."
