Chapter 308: Popularizing Body Refining Technique
“What?”
Inside the Spiritual Realm Pavilion, Xia Zhen’s expression was excited. “What did you say people from Dan Yuan Peak posted at the entrance of the Medical Affairs Department?”
Xia Ziyang’s face showed disbelief. “They posted the first three chapters of a body refining cultivation method called the Qi Huang Body Refining Technique, specifically the Skin Refining Technique, Muscle Refining Technique, and Bone Refining Technique, along with corresponding medicinal bath formulas for skin quenching, muscle quenching, and bone quenching.”
He had never seen any sect, faction, or noble family casually release cultivation methods for free.
“That’s right, Dan Yuan Peak also released news that they will be selling spiritual medicines and herbs for skin quenching, muscle quenching, and bone quenching for purchase by cultivators who need them at Dan Yuan Peak.”
After hearing this, Meng Yuchuan was speechless towards Hua Changxi. “What exactly does Hua Changxi want to do? Hasn’t the commotion at the Star Gazing Tower last night given her enough attention?”
Xia Zhen ignored Meng Yuchuan’s complaint and frowned at Meng Qingyao. “Qi Huang Body Refining Technique…”
Meng Qingyao understood Xia Zhen’s implied meaning. “Hua Changxi’s understanding of Qihuang Hall is deeper than we imagined. This Qi Huang Body Refining Technique was definitely obtained from Qihuang Hall.”
Xia Zhen was silent for a moment before saying, “Let’s go and see the entrance of the Medical Affairs Department.”
As soon as the group exited the Spiritual Realm Pavilion, they saw the Qihuang Pavilion opposite. Prince Shou led the way, followed by Shen Qianfan, also leading a group of people out in haste.
It seemed they were also going to the entrance of the Medical Affairs Department to check the situation.
Xia Zhen composed himself and smiled, greeting Prince Shou. “Prince Shou, shall we go together?”
Immediately, the two groups walked towards the entrance of the Medical Affairs Department.
On the way, Xia Ziyang looked at Shen Qianfan. “The Qi Huang Body Refining Technique clearly has something to do with Qihuang Hall. Pavilion Master Shen, did Hua Changxi inform you beforehand before releasing the body refining cultivation method of Qihuang Hall?”
Shen Qianfan glanced at Xia Ziyang, knowing that this person was trying to sow discord, and remained silent.
Seeing this, Meng Yuchuan immediately chimed in. “Heh, with Hua Changxi’s personality of not putting anyone in her eyes, it would be a miracle if she informed anyone in advance.”
“Since the establishment of the Spiritual Realm Pavilion, she has never set foot in it. The only time she approached the Spiritual Realm Pavilion, she only sent an apprentice.”
Meng Yuchuan then looked at Shen Qianfan. “I imagine Hua Changxi looks down on Qihuang Pavilion in the same way.”
Shen Qianfan smiled. “Actually, I can understand Hua Changxi quite well.”
Xia Ziyang and Meng Yuchuan were both stunned.
Shen Qianfan continued, “In terms of contribution to the Dan Sheng Hall, the position of Pavilion Master should have been Hua Changxi’s. Yet, I became the Pavilion Master. She is unhappy with me, and I can truly understand that.”
After speaking, Shen Qianfan saw the expressions of both Xia and Meng change, and he felt instantly better.
Whether it was Qihuang Pavilion or Spiritual Realm Pavilion, the reason he and Meng Qingyao could hold the position of Pavilion Master was not due to their own superior abilities, but merely the result of power plays.
It was only natural that those with true strength and ability were not convinced by them, wasn’t it?
He was truly sick of this kind of opportunistic power struggle. He just wanted to diligently study medical skills and the Pill Dao, why was it so difficult?
The thought of having to deal with Prince Shou at the Medical Affairs Department, and then a princess waiting for him at home, made him want to die.
Even though he had become a cultivator and his medical skills and alchemy were constantly improving, why did his life feel more stifling than before?
He truly envied Hua Changxi, who dared to confront everyone!
Shen Qianfan’s conversation with Xia Ziyang and Meng Yuchuan was also overheard by Prince Shou, Xia Zhen, and Meng Qingyao, who were walking ahead. The expressions of the three were somewhat stirred.
Seeing Meng Qingyao’s troubled expression, Xia Zhen transmitted his voice. “Even in the most chaotic era, people need a certain order. Hua Changxi is a disruptor of order, and this is not a sustainable path.”
Meng Qingyao was not persuaded this time and retorted, “However, only by breaking the old order can a new one be rebuilt.”
Xia Zhen shook his head. “Those who walk on the cutting edge are nine times out of ten destined to fade into obscurity. Whether it’s doing things or cultivating, stillness is better than action.”
“Qingyao, your original intention is the most important. Do not lose sight of your own goals due to external temptations and pressures.”
“Hua Changxi’s path will not be very long, and even if she can go far, it will be fraught with thorns.”
Soon, the two groups arrived at the entrance of the Medical Affairs Department.
At this moment, the entrance was already packed to the brim.
Prince Shou’s expression was grim. Previously, the Royal Family had used their influence to pressure the Hua clan into handing over the Qi Huang Body Refining Technique they controlled. Now that everyone could cultivate it, the Royal Family’s advantage in this regard was weakened.
After reviewing the cultivation method, Xia Zhen instructed Xia Ziyang. “Copy this cultivation method and send it back to the clan. Let those in the clan without spiritual roots also begin cultivating.”
If everyone can cultivate body refining techniques, not cultivating will mean falling behind.
Number Ten Qihuang Hall.
Gu Jin Fan also held a freshly copied first three chapters of the Qi Huang Body Refining Technique, his expression complex.
Although limited by the acquisition of spiritual medicines for body tempering, it would not allow all ordinary people without spiritual roots to begin body refining. However, the free release of body refining cultivation methods could maximally provide an opportunity for mortals who wished to refine their bodies.
In this life, the number of cultivators among the human race has increased. I wonder if they can turn the tide in the upcoming human-demon wars and the invasion of outer realm cultivators.
Heavenly Department.
Huo Yunxiao handed the copied first three chapters of the Qi Huang Body Refining Technique to Wei Zhenjie and also informed him that Hua Changxi had publicly released the body refining cultivation method and quenching formulas at the entrance of the Medical Affairs Department.
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhenjie said, “Hua Changxi is truly… always exceeding expectations.” He then ordered Hua Da Lang to be summoned.
It was Hua Da Lang’s first time meeting Wei Zhenjie, and his expression was a mix of excitement and trepidation. “Your subordinate pays his respects to the Minister.”
Wei Zhenjie smiled and motioned for him to sit. After inquiring about his situation in the Demon Suppressing Army for a while, he steered the conversation towards the Qi Huang Body Refining Technique.
Hua Da Lang replied, “Minister, my Ninth Sister only gave the family’s Qihuang Hall body refining technique up to the third chapter.” This meant that Hua Changxi truly had no further cultivation method.
Wei Zhenjie smiled. “It seems not everyone in your family cultivates the Qi Huang Body Refining Technique.”
Hearing Wei Zhenjie’s question, Hua Da Lang understood that he had thoroughly investigated the Hua family’s situation beforehand and did not conceal anything. “Yes, my few younger siblings and I cultivate a different body refining cultivation method.”
“Minister, please forgive me, but your subordinate cannot hand over this body refining cultivation method because we all took a Heart Demon Oath when we cultivated it.”
Huo Yunxiao exclaimed in surprise, “Hua Changxi gave you the cultivation method and also made you take a Heart Demon Oath?”
This made Hua Da Lang a bit embarrassed, but he still nodded.
Wei Zhenjie smiled. “The cultivation method each person cultivates is confidential. This Minister understands. Can you tell me the name of that body refining cultivation method? Perhaps the Heavenly Department also has it in its collection.”
It was just a name, so Hua Da Lang did not hide it. “Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhenjie’s pupils trembled, and he thought to himself, Hua Changxi’s fortune is truly too good, no wonder she is so arrogant.
The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, he had seen related records of it in the library of the Central Sacred Land. It could be said to be the preferred cultivation method for body refining.
It is said that this cultivation method was jointly created by the twelve ancient demon gods and is the treasure of the demon race.
Most importantly, the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is not only suitable for demons to cultivate but also for humans.
Where did Hua Changxi obtain it?
Wei Zhenjie looked at Hua Da Lang with a smile. “Dual cultivation of Law and Body, no wonder your strength ranks among the top Centurions. Continue to work hard in the future; the Demon Suppressing Army needs generals like you.”
Hua Da Lang understood the intention of cultivation in Wei Zhenjie’s words and was extremely excited. “Your subordinate will certainly not fail his mission.”
Wei Zhenjie continued, “From today onwards, the entire Demon Suppressing Army will begin cultivating the Qi Huang Body Refining Technique. You will go to Dan Yuan Peak at the Medical Affairs Department to purchase the required spiritual medicines and herbs for body tempering.”
Hua Da Lang was stunned for a moment and did not immediately agree.
Wei Zhenjie asked, “What, is there a problem?”
Hua Da Lang replied, “No, no problem.”
Huo Yunxiao smiled. “When you get to the Medical Affairs Department, you can come to Number Three Qihuang Hall to find me first. I’ll go with you then; I’m quite familiar with Dan Yuan Peak.”
The Minister’s direct disciple actively offered friendship, so Hua Da Lang naturally would not refuse. “Then I will have to trouble Hall Master Huo in the future.”
Wei Zhenjie immediately wrote a purchase order. “The Heavenly Department will pre-order thirty thousand sets of Body Tempering Medicine Packs, ten thousand sets each for skin quenching, muscle quenching, and bone quenching.”
Huo Yunxiao took the order and pulled Hua Da Lang away. “Your sister released the Qi Huang Body Refining Technique. It won’t be long before people start scrambling for the body tempering medicine packs. We need to finalize our order quickly.”
When the two arrived at Dan Yuan Peak, they discovered that some people had arrived even earlier than them.
Noble families, led by the Tang Family and Gu Family, were all pre-ordering Body Tempering Medicine Packs.
Not only noble families but also many people from smaller factions had arrived. The Personnel Department staff were almost overwhelmed.
Hua Da Lang was greatly surprised. “Why are so many people seeking to purchase spiritual medicine?”
Huo Yunxiao replied, “This is just the beginning. When the body refining technique becomes widespread, the peak of purchasing body tempering spiritual medicine will arrive. At that time, there might even be a situation where medicine is hard to find.”
“Now you understand why Master and the people in front of us wanted to pre-order the body tempering medicine packs so early, right?”
Saying this, Huo Yunxiao suddenly smiled and looked at Hua Da Lang. “If your sister had stockpiled medicinal herbs in advance, she might have been able to make a fortune from this opportunity.”
Hua Da Lang replied, “…Ninth Sister doesn’t have that kind of foresight.”
Huo Yunxiao looked at Hua Da Lang and began to understand why the Hua siblings were not close. Hua Da Lang, as the elder brother, did not understand Hua Changxi as well as an outsider like himself.
“Hua Changxi doesn’t lack foresight; she simply lacks personal desire. Her purpose in releasing the body refining technique was not for profit.”
