The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 474, Envy

Well-borns cannot absorb too much qi and blood, which is due to the limitations of their mortal bodies.

The limitations of the physical body are due to the inherent constraints of the human body.

The human body has nine layers of shackles that restrict its potential.

Normally, breaking free from shackles requires years of physical training, but this is clearly not feasible for Jing Sheng at this moment.

If there is no way to cultivate oneself internally, one can only rely on external forces.

The Xuanhuang Fruit is the only spiritual fruit that can break the shackles of the physical body.

"Who? Who do you think is requesting an audience?"

"Hua Changxi".

Hua Changxi's request for an audience surprised the five generals of Xuanyuan.

Qin Feng clicked his tongue and said, "Hua Changxi is very good at playing this game of truth and falsehood, reality and illusion."

Now that she's wandering around aimlessly, who can be sure that she's the Lingguang Palace Master who's been punished by heaven?

Qin Feng stood up: "I'll go greet her."

Outside the Xuanyuan Mansion, Hua Changxi patiently waited for the reply from the five Xuanyuan generals while gazing at the bustling courtyard in the distance.

During her visit, she noticed that many courtyards in the second ring area near the Xuanyuan Mansion had already begun to be occupied.

She also saw the residence of the 'Dan Sheng Temple', where people were going in and out.

"Ninth Sister".

Just as Hua Changxi was engrossed in watching, a patrol team of Xuanyuan Army passed by, and Hua Minghe was among them.

Hua Changxi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Hua Minghe jogging away from the group.

"Father."

When Hua Minghe arrived, he looked Hua Changxi over with concern. Seeing that she was in good spirits and showed no signs of injury, he was clearly relieved.

He knew it; how could his daughter possibly be the Lord of Lingguang Palace, who commanded the Vermilion Bird Army?

Hua Minghe assumed that Hua Changxi had come to visit her family, and while taking out his Yi Nian Tong, he said, "Your mother has been thinking about you these past few days. I didn't expect you to come back today. She's on duty today, so I'll send her a message now to tell her you're back and ask her to take leave."

Hua Changxi quickly pressed down on Hua Minghe's hand: "Father, I came here this time to find the five generals."

Hua Minghe was taken aback: "Looking for five generals?" He paused, then a look of worry appeared on his face. "Ninth Sister, tell Father, is something wrong?"

Hua Changxi explained with a smile, "Someone is injured and needs a spiritual fruit to heal them. This spiritual fruit is only available in the Xuanyuan Mansion."

Hua Minghe's expression improved after hearing this, but he quickly hesitated again and lowered his voice: "The five generals seem quite approachable, but they are very principled. Don't have too high expectations."

Hua Changxi smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to say something, the barrier opened, and Qin Feng strode out.

"General Qin."

Hua Minghe quickly greeted him.

Qin Feng nodded and smiled, "This general is here to escort Peak Master Hua into the manor. You can go about your business."

Upon hearing this, Hua Minghe knew he couldn't talk to his daughter anymore. He glanced at Hua Changxi reluctantly, then turned to leave.

"Father, I'll come back to see you and Mother whenever I have time."

"Eh."

Hua Minghe returned to the patrol team, turning back every few steps. Watching General Qin Feng warmly welcome his daughter into the Xuanyuan Mansion, he felt both gratified and proud, yet also a little sad.

“Brother Minghe, your daughter is really well-received. Every time she comes to the Xuanyuan Mansion, General Qin personally greets her at the gate.”

After returning to the team, the captain smiled and patted Hua Minghe on the shoulder, while the others looked at Hua Minghe with envy.

Hua Minghe simply smiled and didn't reply.

Seeing his condition, the others didn't say anything more and continued their patrol.

Hua Changxi met the other four generals of Xuanyuan in Chengqian Hall. After a few pleasantries, Lu Zhenting went straight to the point and asked, "Peak Master Hua, is there anything you need for this visit?"

Hua Changxi was also very direct: "I've come to ask the five generals for help. I need one Grade 1 Xuanhuang Fruit and one Grade 2 Xuanhuang Fruit."

Seeing the five generals remain silent, Hua Changxi continued, "Whatever terms you require, please tell me. As long as I can afford it, I am willing to pay."

The five generals looked at Hua Changxi, and then began to discuss the matter telepathically.

Upon seeing this, Hua Changxi picked up the spiritual tea on the table and began to drink it.

As soon as he finished his cup of spiritual tea, Lu Zhenting spoke up: "We can give you the Xuanhuang Fruit. As for the exchange conditions, we don't want anything. We just ask that Peak Master Hua do three things for the Xuanyuan Mansion in the future."

"One Grade One Xuanhuang Fruit helps with one thing; one Grade Two Xuanhuang Fruit helps with two things."

"If Peak Master Hua needs Xuanhuang Fruit of other grades in the future, we can discuss it as appropriate."

Hua Changxi: "."

Seeing that she remained silent, Lu Zhenting added, "Of course, the Xuanyuan Manor will never allow Peak Master Hua to do anything against morality, nor will it allow you to do anything beyond your capabilities."

Hua Changxi pondered for a moment before agreeing, "Okay." Seeing her agree, Lu Zhenting was also straightforward, and directly asked Qin Feng to pick one Grade 1 Xuanhuang Fruit and one Grade 2 Xuanhuang Fruit to give to Hua Changxi.

After obtaining the Xuanhuang Fruit, Hua Changxi prepared to leave: "I won't disturb the five generals any longer."

In the end, it was Qin Feng who escorted Hua Changxi out of the Xuanyuan Mansion. When he returned to the Chengqian Palace, he said directly, "When I came into contact with Hua Changxi before, I couldn't detect her aura at all, but this time, her aura was released."

"She was injured, and quite badly."

Lu Zhenting and the other three nodded. This time, through the aura revealed by Hua Changxi, they had learned quite a bit.

"Hua Changxi really hasn't broken through to the Spirit Platform Realm yet!"

"Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. If she really didn't have the talent for cultivation, she wouldn't have been able to get to this point. Why can't she open her spiritual platform?"

"I think it's mainly a matter of mindset."

“State of mind? But considering the commotion Hua Changxi has caused, I think her state of mind should be higher than many people’s.”

“Cultivation depends on three things: talent, resources, and mindset. Hua Changxi has no shortage of talent and resources, so if it's not a problem with her mindset, then what is it?”

Lu Zhenting, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "It might be due to the cultivation technique."

Qin Feng immediately denied it: "Impossible. If Hua Changxi is the Palace Master of Lingguang Palace, then the cultivation technique she practices must be the Vermilion Bird Divine Technique. Before, there were dozens of Vermilion Bird soldiers in Lingguang Palace who broke through to the Spirit Platform Realm at the same time."

"It can't be that Hua Changxi's talent and aptitude are inferior to those of ordinary Vermilion Bird soldiers, can it?"

As he spoke, he continued, "If Hua Changxi is not the Palace Master of Lingguang Palace, then it makes sense that she is inferior to the Vermilion Bird Army; but if she is, then it doesn't make sense."

Lu Zhenting nodded: "That's right. However, it seems that the 'Biography of the Four Spirits' mentions that the higher one's talent, the higher the requirements for cultivating the Four Spirits Divine Technique."

"I remember one of them was something like, 'You must have great love.'"

Qin Feng was taken aback: "Great love?! That's a pretty vague standard."

The other four generals all looked on in agreement.

The five generals didn't know much about this research, so the topic was dropped.

Qin Feng clicked his tongue again and said, "Hua Changxi is quite willing to use two Xuanhuang Fruits to save people."

Lu Zhenting: "In the Dan Sheng Hall, the place with the strongest cohesion is Dan Yuan Peak."

"What does it rely on? It's nothing more than the willingness to give up something."

After leaving Xuanyuan Mansion, Hua Changxi went straight back to Ghost Fire Well.

Beside the wellhead of the Ghost Fire Well, Jing Sheng lay with his eyes closed, his breath faint. Hua Changxi looked at him, then flipped her right hand, and a Grade One Xuanhuang Fruit appeared out of thin air.

Then, spiritual energy surged from his fingertips like a tide, instantly enveloping the rare fruit. The fruit pulp rapidly melted in the spiritual fire, transforming into a rich, golden liquid that shimmered with dazzling golden light.

The next moment, she gently raised her hand, causing the pure medicinal liquid to transform into a stream of light, silently seeping into Jing Sheng's body, and guiding him to absorb it slowly.

Seeing this scene, Gongshu Xingyan, who was not far away, almost popped his eyes out.

Xuanhuang Fruit!

Hua Changxi actually found such a treasure to save people!

First, the Ghost Fire Token protected her life, and now the Xuanhuang Fruit breaks the shackles of her physical body. She is truly sparing no effort to save Jing Sheng!

Amidst the amazement, a strong, almost bitter envy grew wildly in Gongshu Xingyan's heart like weeds.

He envied Jing Sheng, but felt even more sorry for himself.

In a daze, his thoughts were pulled back to that dark and hopeless period—the hundred years he was trapped in the Ghost Realm.

A century of solitude, a century of struggle.

If during this time, there was someone like Hua Changxi who was willing to do everything in his power to save him, wouldn't he have been able to escape his predicament sooner instead of suffering in purgatory for a hundred years?

Unfortunately, life is unpredictable, and he never met such a person.

Gongshu Xingyan stared blankly at Hua Changxi's retreating figure, his eyes somewhat unfocused and confused.

It wasn't until Hua Changxi raised his hand again, took out another second-grade Xuanhuang Fruit and began to refine it, that the familiar golden light shone again, forcibly pulling him back from the quagmire of his chaotic thoughts.

However, before the shock could subside, an even more outrageous scene unfolded.

Third rank, fourth rank, fifth rank...

One after another, Xuanhuang Fruits of higher grade and more potent medicinal properties appeared in Hua Changxi's hands as if they were ordinary fruits given away for free.

Refining, injecting, absorbing.

Golden streams of light repeatedly entered Jing Sheng's body, as if watering a seedling that was like a bottomless pit.

Gongshu Xingyan's expression shifted from shock to blankness, and finally to complete numbness.

His heart was pounding, but his reason was crumbling.

Amidst the scattering golden light of the Xuanhuang Fruit, he was at a loss for words, his heart filled only with absurdity and shock.

After the initial shock, he suddenly understood and came to comprehend Song Weimin—doing things for Hua Changxi didn't seem so impossible after all. (End of Chapter)
