Chapter 275: All Selfish Individuals
After Xia Zhen spoke up for her, Jiang Nianyi put away the Purple Star Firefly Grass and no longer asked Hua Changxi to help with its preparation.
She hadn’t expected Hua Changxi to recognize the Purple Star Firefly Grass and even bring up the matter of outer realm cultivators. This matter shouldn’t attract too much attention; she needed to quickly move past it.
Jiang Nianyi quickly glanced at another young male cultivator from the Guardian Family’s side and gave him a look.
Feng Zirui saw this, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but he quickly took out a First Rank Spiritual Medicine from his storage ring. “Hall Master Hua, could you please guide me on how to prepare this spiritual medicine?”
This method of shifting attention was too obvious. Hua Changxi looked at Jiang Nianyi and Feng Zirui, then surveyed the expressions of everyone present.
She found that most people’s expressions were very calm.
Seeing this, Hua Changxi became thoughtful.
Everyone present came from influential families in the Capital City. They might know more about outer realm cultivators than she did.
She had pointed out that the Jiang Family was suspected of being outer realm cultivators, and their reaction was so indifferent. It seemed they didn’t care much about this matter.
Since that was the case, she didn’t need to dwell on it any longer. After all, she had already alerted everyone. Whether they took it to heart or not was beyond her control.
Did the others present care if the Jiang Family were outer realm cultivators?
They cared and they didn’t.
They cared because outer realm cultivators were, after all, from the outside. Through them, they could learn more about cultivation and understand more about the outside world.
They didn’t care because outer realm cultivators were a minority. In the eyes of most of the noble children present, they couldn’t cause much of a stir. At most, they could ride the wave of the Four Spirit Realm’s revival to get some resources.
Even the Guardian Family thought this way.
Hua Changxi no longer paid attention to Jiang Nianyi and her gaze fell on the spiritual medicine Feng Zirui had taken out.
The spiritual medicine Feng Zirui had taken out was also a rare First Rank Spiritual Medicine. After inquiring about his understanding of spiritual medicine, Hua Changxi began to guide him on how to prepare it.
Gu Jin Fan felt a bit helpless as the attention in the hall was diverted.
He had thought that Hua Changxi pointing out the Jiang Family’s suspected status as outer realm cultivators would draw everyone’s attention, but unexpectedly, everyone’s reaction was so indifferent.
In her past life, it was the same. The native cultivators of the Four Spirit Realm had underestimated the ambition of outer realm cultivators from the very beginning and didn’t take them seriously.
Gu Jin Fan looked at Hua Changxi, who was intently guiding Feng Zirui in preparing spiritual medicine, feeling a sense of disappointment.
Hua Changxi’s earlier confrontation with Jiang Nianyi was definitely not without reason. Since she already knew the Jiang Family were outer realm cultivators, she should have done something.
Even expelling Jiang Nianyi from the Medical Affairs Department would have been a good thing.
But she did nothing!
Hua Changxi quickly finished guiding Feng Zirui. “Is there anyone else who needs guidance?” As her gaze swept around, it met Gu Jin Fan’s disappointed eyes.
This person is sick!
Hua Changxi felt a chill from his gaze and quickly averted her eyes. Just then, someone else took out spiritual medicine to ask for guidance.
It was Chu Junhao.
Chu Junhao took out five spiritual medicines at once to ask for advice. He had no airs of a Prince, smiling as if warmed by the spring breeze, and his attitude was very approachable.
One doesn’t hit a smiling face. Chu Junhao, like this, was actually not unlikable.
Hua Changxi looked at Chu Junhao, said nothing, and then looked at the five spiritual medicines.
As expected of the Royal Family, their foundation is indeed profound.
Jiang Nianyi had taken out an outer realm spiritual medicine, while Chu Junhao had taken out two First Rank spiritual medicines that grew in the Nine Netherworlds and three rare First Rank spiritual medicines that grew in extreme environments.
“I can only teach you how to prepare these three spiritual medicines. As for these two… preparing Soul Returning Grass and Soul Devouring Grass requires the use of Soul Power. I can tell you the preparation methods, but for the specific operation, I suggest you find a Spiritual Platform Realm cultivator who can project their Spiritual Sense externally.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Junhao’s eyes flickered, and the expressions of others present also shifted.
Just as Xia Ziyang had said before, Hua Changxi wanted to test their strength through the content they asked about. They could also use rare spiritual medicines to test Hua Changxi’s strength.
She recognized spiritual medicines that grew in the outer starry sky, and she also recognized spiritual medicines that grew in the Nine Netherworlds.
The level of inheritance in the Medicine Dao and Pill Dao that Hua Changxi had obtained was even higher than they had imagined.
Wen Lanzhou thought of his Master, who was currently striving for the Spiritual Platform Realm and urgently needed Soul Plants for assistance. He couldn’t help but ask, “Hall Master Hua, the Purple First Rank Spiritual Medicine Compendium does not mention First Rank Soul Plants. What is the reason for this?”
Hua Changxi didn’t want to answer, but upon realizing the questioner was a fellow disciple of her Shi Niang, she paused and explained, “Soul Plants and Spiritual Plants are not classified together.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes flickered again.
Xia Ziyang suddenly exclaimed, “Hall Master Hua selflessly shares the Purple First Rank Spiritual Medicine Compendium and the Purple First Rank Spiritual Medicine Preparation Compendium. She is truly a person of noble character, and we all admire her.”
Hearing this, many people present showed strange expressions.
Xia Ziyang continued.
“Currently, many cultivators are stuck at the Nascent Soul Realm and cannot break through to the Spiritual Platform Realm. The main reason is that Alchemists do not understand Soul Plants and cannot refine the corresponding Mirror Breaking Pills.”
Having said this, Xia Ziyang suddenly stood up and bowed ninety degrees to Hua Changxi.
“Everything Hall Master Hua has done is to promote the development of Medical Skills and the Pill Dao. If it can help Nascent Soul Realm cultivators break through, it will not only accelerate the revival of the Four Spirit Realm but also enhance the overall strength of the cultivators in the Four Spirit Realm.”
Uh…
Everyone understood Xia Ziyang’s meaning and realized why he had suddenly praised Hua Changxi so highly.
They wanted the Soul Plant inheritance that Hua Changxi possessed!
Not to mention, everyone present was tempted.
Although they all possessed one or two inheritances of Medical Skills and the Pill Dao, the quality of their inheritances was low. They didn’t even have a complete record of Spiritual Plants, let alone Soul Plants.
The Royal Family, the Guardian Families, and some noble families had been making arrangements in the Nine Netherworlds for quite some time, but they had obtained very few resources from the Nine Netherworlds.
The reason was simple: they didn’t understand the Soul Plants of the Nine Netherworlds well. Even if they encountered high-grade Soul Plants, they would miss the opportunity because they didn’t recognize them.
Very few cultivators advance smoothly without bottlenecks when breaking through realms. Most cultivators need Mirror Breaking Pills to assist them.
And for Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to break through to the Spiritual Platform Realm, they need Mirror Breaking Pills refined from Soul Plants. But if they don’t even recognize Soul Plants, how can they refine pills?
The forces behind everyone present were not weak, and they had cultivated a group of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. If they could refine Mirror Breaking Pills to break through to the Spiritual Platform Realm, their strength would undoubtedly reach a new level.
Everyone looked at Hua Changxi, awaiting her reaction.
Hua Changxi glanced indifferently at Xia Ziyang, then shifted her gaze to Xia Zhen. “Senior Xia, the disciples your Xia Family cultivates have poor eyesight.”
“Noble character?”
“I really don’t know how he saw that. Does noble character have anything to do with me?”
Saying this, Hua Changxi looked at Xia Ziyang again. “Your ability to judge people is too poor. Open your eyes and see clearly. I am the same as you all; I am a selfish person.”
“Promoting the development of Medical Skills and the Pill Dao? Enhancing and strengthening the Four Spirit Realm’s power?”
Hua Changxi looked at Xia Zhen. “Does the Guardian Family care?” She then looked at Gu Xing and the others. “Do you all care?”
“If you all don’t care about it, why do you think I would care?”
After saying this, she stood up.
“Today’s lecture ends here!”
Watching Hua Changxi’s retreating back, Huo Yunxiao clicked his tongue twice. “She’s a ruthless one. When she’s ruthless, she even scolds herself.”
