The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 22, Rumors
When Hua Changxi finished helping in the warehouse and returned to the sixth bureau, it was already the beginning of the Hai hour (21:00). At this time, everyone in his dormitory had returned.

Everyone was still chatting and hadn't gone to bed yet. As soon as Hua Changxi came back, the room was like it had been paused, and it became quiet in an instant. After a while, they resumed chatting.

During this time, no one greeted Hua Changxi.

Hua Changxi naturally felt a little uncomfortable with such obvious isolation, but she didn't care too much. She came to the Menial Services Hall to practice and inherit medical skills, not to make friends.

Hua Changxi didn't stay in the room for long. He picked up his basin and left the dormitory, then went straight to the cafeteria with the Yuanling grass he had just obtained.

As soon as she left, Wang Yunchu's voice became louder.

"What do you think she did this afternoon?"

"I heard that she was having a hot affair with the male janitor in the warehouse."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't believe you're so capable at such a young age."

Lu Qingluo felt that Wang Yunchu's words were a bit too much, and immediately said: "Yunchu, don't say that about Changxi."

Wang Yunchu became even more excited: "Did I say anything nonsense? Didn't you see she was holding a bundle in her hand? Guess who gave it to her?"

As he said this, he smiled.

"The people in the warehouse are not easy to deal with. Why should they give her things?"

"Also, she gets up so late every day, but the herbs she brings back are always easy to clean and process. Can you say there is nothing wrong?"

Lu Qingluo stopped talking. Everyone in the same dormitory had experience of going to get medicinal herbs late in the evening, and they all knew what kind of herbs they would get.

"Okay, don't worry about Hua Changxi. Go wash up and go to bed. You'll be busy tomorrow."

Someone came out to smooth things over, and Wang Yunchu stopped talking.

On the other side, Hua Changxi entered the dining hall and found Grandma Sun who was guarding the kitchen: "Grandma Sun, I want to borrow the stove, is that okay?"

Mrs. Sun was a little unhappy to be disturbed so late at night, but she knew that Manager Qin liked the young lady in front of him very much, and other people in the kitchen also praised her, so she did not refuse immediately.

"What do you want to borrow the stove for?"

Hua Changxi took out the withered Yuanling grass in the basin and said, "I'll make the medicine."

Granny Sun frowned: "These herbs are all dead, can they still be used?"

Hua Changxi shook his head: "I don't know. I can't afford fresh herbs, so I can only use this dried herb. I am very strong and my body is very exhausted. I have to drink medicine frequently, otherwise I will feel dizzy and have tinnitus."

Granny Sun: "Is that so? Then where did you get these dried herbs?"

Hua Changxi: "These were discarded due to improper storage in the warehouse. I helped the warehouse staff move some medicinal herbs today, and this is their reward to me."

After hearing this, Granny Sun immediately started to curse: "Those people in the warehouse are becoming more and more heartless. You helped them, but they actually gave you discarded herbs to get rid of."

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "Thank you, Granny Sun, for caring about me. But it's okay. I know the people in the warehouse also have their own difficulties. I am already very grateful that they can give me these dried herbs."

Grandma Sun looked at Hua Changxi and finally took her into the kitchen.

"Everything in the kitchen has a fixed number. You are not allowed to move it."

Hua Changxi quickly expressed her opinion: "Grandma Sun, don't worry, I won't move."

"Grandma Sun, I'm so sorry to bother you so late at night. Go and have some rest. I'll be back when I'm done."

Granny Sun: "It's okay, I'll stay with you. I can't sleep anyway."

Hua Changxi knew that Grandma Sun was worried about her and was concerned that she would use things in the kitchen, so she didn't say anything and started to process the Yuanling grass.

Yuanling grass is the main ingredient of Yuanling Pill. She can’t make pills, but she can make medicinal powder.

Step one, soak.

The second step is to burn fire and dry it.

In this step, Hua Changxi used the fire control technique to roast the Yuan Ling grass little by little until it was crispy, but he didn't let it really burn. The third step was to grind it into powder.

While processing this step, another line of words jumped out in Hua Changxi's sight: [Meridian Mapping Encyclopedia (Beginner): Disintegration of Medicinal Materials 1/10]
After grinding all ten Yuanling grasses into powder, Hua Changxi's mind was filled with meridian maps of ordinary plants and beasts. At the same time, he also learned another new technique - the disintegration technique.

The art of dissection is more advanced than the technique of butchering an ox, and it is not only capable of dissecting an animal, but also of turning the dissected medicinal materials and animal tissues into powder.

Although Hua Changxi baked the Yuanling grass until it was crispy and breakable, because there was no pestle and mortar in the kitchen, she could only crush the herb with her hands. Therefore, the powder of the first ten Yuanling grasses was not uniform and not fine enough.

After learning the disintegration technique, Hua Changxi controlled his spiritual power, and the medicinal herbs in his hand instantly turned into powder.

An hour later, under the shocked gaze of Grandma Sun, Hua Changxi left the dining hall carrying a pound of Yuanling medicine powder.

"It seems that Chang Xi really didn't lie to Manager Qin. She really knows medical skills."

As an old lady in the servants' hall, Granny Sun also has some experience.

The errand hall and the apprentice hall were separated by a square. Granny Sun had also seen apprentices in the apprentice hall making medicine, but those apprentices' skills and proficiency were not as good as Chang Xi's.

When he returned to the dormitory and saw that everyone was asleep, Hua Changxi climbed onto the bed quietly, eager to test the effects of Yuanling Powder.

The first time Hua Changxi took the spiritual plant, he didn't dare to take too much. He scooped 10 grams of the medicine powder and poured it into his mouth.

The medicinal powder melted in the mouth and turned into a warm current. The warm current was like a flood, rushing down and quickly sweeping over the whole body.

The warm current came too strongly and Hua Changxi clearly felt his body suddenly swell and ache, as if it was about to burst.

After a moment of panic, Hua Changxi quickly lay prone on the bed and began to practice the bird breathing method.

One lap, two laps
After the warm current traveled through the body ten times, the bloating and pain began to subside.

At this time, Hua Changxi's heart finally settled down and he began to immerse himself in cultivation.

When he woke up the next day, there was still no one in the room. Hua Changxi took a look at the data and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up.

[Realm: Qi Training Realm 133/1000]
After refining and absorbing 10 grams of Yuanling Powder, the spiritual power points increased by 20 points at one time.

She was quite satisfied with the result, which was equivalent to her normal four days of practice!

Hua Changxi calculated that 1 kilogram of Yuanling medicine powder could help her increase 1000 spiritual power points.

After she raises her spiritual power points to 1000, can she enter the next realm?

"I've made a fortune helping Yu Hui this time!"

Hua Changxi carefully put away the Yuanling Powder, then went to the cafeteria to have breakfast with a smile on his face.

As soon as he entered the dining hall, he was warmly received by Manager Qin and others.

"Changxi, I often feel unwell. Can you help me see if I am sick?"

Granny Sun told Manager Qin and others about Hua Changxi borrowing the kitchen to make medicine last night. When everyone learned that she could actually make medicine and was no worse than the people in the apprentice hall, they became more confident in her medical skills.

Hua Changxi smiled and examined everyone, and after prescribing a few prescriptions, the breakfast she received was even more sumptuous. Eggs and salted eggs, which she had never seen in the cafeteria, appeared in front of her.

Hua Changxi liked this kind of situation where everyone was happy, and he smiled and swallowed everyone's kindness.

But this happiness didn't last long and disappeared when I reached the front yard.

"It was her. This person got mixed up with the people in the warehouse. She stayed in the warehouse for most of the day yesterday and came back after dark. I don't know what she did in there?"

"I heard that she gets up late every day, but the herbs she brings back from the warehouse are easier to clean and process than those we get earlier."

"The male servants in the warehouse are all willing to work hard for a profit. They won't take care of a young lady for no reason."

Then, the person who was speaking began to wink and smile meaningfully.

Hua Changxi looked at the instructions of the crowd and listened to their meaningful discussions. His brows were twisted into knots. He glanced at Wang Yunchu and others who were also whispering, and then he played the sixth game without saying a word.
