The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 431, Rightfully So

Yuan Qi stood at the entrance of the Star Gazing Tower, watching Hua Changxi's figure disappear into the night sky on Central Street. Thinking of the two treasures she took from the Star Sea Pool, he couldn't help but sigh.

The Realm Tokens are extremely rare; there are only nine in the entire Four Spirit Realms, and only those with great fortune can obtain them.

The Vermilion Bird Bow is even more extraordinary; it is the companion magic weapon of the Vermilion Bird, one of the four spirits who created the Four Spirit Realms. After the four spirits passed away and merged with the realm, the Vermilion Bird Bow was passed down only in the hands of the 'Vermilion Bird Emperor'.

Hua Changxi has obtained all the legendary imperial weapons.
Can she protect her?
Or rather, can she control the Vermilion Bird Bow?

Although Yuan Qi had sensed Hua Changxi's extraordinary nature when the Star Gazing Tower appeared, the appearance of the Realm Token and the Vermilion Bird Bow this time refreshed his understanding of Hua Changxi once again.

What is Hua Changxi going to the Star Gazing Tower for?

Wei Zhenjie's voice suddenly rang in my mind.

Yuan Qi looked at Wei Zhenjie on the distant Dengtian Tower and thought of the time when he asked Wei Zhenjie to confirm the truth of the rumor that "Hua Changxi is the Lord of Lingguang Palace". Wei Zhenjie pretended to be deep and kept silent, but a cold snort immediately escaped from his nose.

Now, he doesn't need to ask this guy for confirmation anymore.

He already knew Hua Changxi's identity, and at the same time, he also knew firsthand information that others did not.

Yuan Qi raised his chin arrogantly, gave Wei Zhenjie a 'heavenly secret cannot be revealed' smile, then turned around, put his hands behind his back, and leisurely returned to the Star Gazing Tower.

Seeing his behavior, Wei Zhenjie shook his head with amusement, then looked again in the direction where Hua Changxi had disappeared, lost in thought.

Hua Changxi went to the Star Gazing Tower to collect a debt, and when he left, his brows were full of satisfaction. It seems that Yuan Qi has really paid a heavy price this time.

Did they obtain the artifact from the Star Sea Pool?
After leaving the Star Gazing Tower, Hua Changxi went straight back to the bamboo house on Danyuan Peak.

She was quite satisfied with her trip to the Star Gazing Tower.

Yuan Qi didn't pretend to be innocent after getting the benefit; he directly admitted to owing her a favor and even offered compensation.

While at the Star Gazing Tower, she couldn't properly refine the Boundary Token and the Vermilion Bird Bow. After returning to her own territory, Hua Changxi couldn't wait to carefully examine both the Boundary Token and the Vermilion Bird Bow. Only after confirming that there were no marks on them did she begin refining them.

Unfortunately, all the refining failed!
Only then did Hua Changxi truly realize just how high the quality of the two items she had obtained was.

It should be noted that her physical strength has now reached the level where she can open up the Great Dao of the Physical Body. Under such circumstances, the fact that she is unable to refine these two magical artifacts is truly beyond her expectations.

Although the Boundary Decree and the Vermilion Bird Bow could only be viewed and not used, Hua Changxi still felt that the trip to the Star Gazing Tower was worthwhile.

If she doesn't make a trip to the Star Gazing Tower, the Star Gazing Tower definitely won't think of offering her compensation.

On her own, she probably wouldn't even be able to find out anything about the Boundary Decree and the Vermilion Bird Bow, let alone possess them directly.

After putting away the Boundary Decree and the Vermilion Bird Bow, Hua Changxi took out the Shennong Cauldron and began refining the commonly used Grade 4 pills for the Lingguang Palace trip.

While Hua Changxi was immersed in alchemy, the Qihuang Pavilion, Lingjing Pavilion, and Dansheng Hall forbidden area were still discussing the matter of 'the Secret Realm Master taking charge of the Holy Land'.

Qihuang Pavilion.

Princess Ling Yuan looked at Chu Tianxun with a face full of resentment: "Grandpa Tianxun, are we just going to stand by and watch the masters of the secret realms take away the power from us and then wait for them to rise above us?"

Chu Tianxun looked at her: "Otherwise, what do you want?"

Princess Lingyuan was very dissatisfied: "Why should we give up our power? The predecessor of the Dansheng Palace was the Department of Medicine, which was an office under the jurisdiction of the royal family. Even if the Department of Medicine has now become the Dansheng Palace, it is still unfair to abandon us after we have served our purpose."

"The royal family also contributed to the development of the Dan Sheng Temple to this point. Even if they didn't make any great contributions, they certainly worked hard."

"And as for the Xia family, I just don't believe they're willing to relinquish power."

“The core of the Dan Sheng Temple is now composed of people promoted by the royal family or trained by the Xia family. As long as we don’t give in, the entire Holy Land will never be able to function.”

Chu Tianxun sighed: "If 'the master of the secret realm taking charge of the Pill Saint Hall' is just a suggestion from Hua Changxi, we have plenty of ways to make this suggestion fizzle out, but..."

“With Shenmu taking action and issuing the Holy Land Laws, it’s almost impossible for us to turn the tide.” Princess Lingyuan was still unwilling to give up: “Then we can’t just do nothing, can we? If we don’t fight back at all, won’t people think the royal family is easy to bully?”

Chu Junhao couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Princess Ling Yuan: "Royal sister, the promulgation of the Holy Land's decree means that it is now perfectly legitimate for the Secret Realm Master to take charge of the Holy Land."

“Unless we have the ability to overturn this law, we can only act in accordance with it. At this time, to try to do something underhanded would be going against the tide, and it would be pointless.”

Princess Lingyuan snorted, looking down on Chu Junhao: "We haven't even done anything yet, and you're already boosting others' morale and diminishing your own. Where's your backbone as a prince?"

Because of their different birth mothers, royal children mostly maintain a superficial sibling relationship, and in reality, they don't really treat each other as family. Chu Junhao didn't care about Princess Lingyuan's sarcasm and simply stated the facts calmly.

"Nowadays, the royal family does still have some influence and can certainly launch a counterattack."

"But what happens after that?"

"Whether they are noble families who follow the royal family or ordinary cultivators who come here to attach themselves, they all enter the Dan Sheng Hall hoping to seek a bright future."

"To make them disobey the Holy Land's laws now is almost tantamount to making them risk their future to vent their anger. They might obey out of respect for the royal family's authority, but in the long run, they will definitely harbor resentment."

Chu Junhao wasn't looking at Princess Ling Yuan, but at Chu Tianxun: "Doing this will only make the royal family's situation in the Dan Sheng Hall even more unfavorable."

Chu Tianxun actually agreed more with Princess Ling Yuan, but he also knew that Chu Junhao was right.

Hua Changxi so ruthlessly kicked the royal family out of the highest management of the Dan Sheng Temple and did nothing at all. It's really frustrating!

The atmosphere at Lingjing Pavilion was much more relaxed.

Xia Ji smiled at Meng Qingyao: "It's a good thing for you, the Pavilion Master of the Spirit Realm Pavilion who oversees all the Secret Realm Masters, to take charge of the Holy Land."

Meng Qingyao hesitated: "But Master, my contributions to the Dan Sheng Hall are not as great as Hua Changxi's; in alchemy and medicine, I may not be able to beat her either. The position of Lingjing Pavilion Master should belong to Hua Changxi."

Xia Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. Just be a good leader of the Spirit Realm Pavilion."

"Hua Changxi doesn't even personally manage Dan Yuan Peak and Dan Yuan Secret Realm, so she'll only be less attentive to Lingjing Pavilion."

Hearing this, Meng Qingyao wasn't too happy; instead, she felt a little uneasy.

She always felt a deep sense of frustration when facing Hua Changxi.

Xia Ji noticed Meng Qingyao's unease, but didn't offer much advice. He simply said, "Qingyao, when you take charge of the Spirit Realm Pavilion in the future, you must prioritize the Pill Saint Hall. As for the interests of your sect and family, your elder brothers can fight for them."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qingyao's eyes lit up, and she quickly agreed: "Yes."

After hearing this, Xia Zhen glanced at her several times. Only after Xia Ji dismissed Meng Qingyao did he speak: "I didn't expect that Qingyao would be unwilling to fight for the interests of the family."

Xia Ji looked at him and said, "It's not that she's unwilling, but that we've placed the family's interests on her shoulders, and she feels it's too heavy a burden."

"Qingyao's talent and other conditions are superior to Hua Changxi's, but there is one thing in which she is clearly inferior to Hua Changxi: she is too preoccupied and has too many worries, which prevents her from fully unleashing her potential."

Xia Zhen nodded in agreement: "Qingyao is so sensible. She knows how to think about the family and share the burdens of the elders, unlike Hua Changxi, who only cares about herself."

Xia Ji was somewhat moved after hearing this.

Perhaps cultivators should be more like Hua Changxi, doing whatever they want, so that they can progress more smoothly.
Forbidden area of ​​Dan Sheng Temple.

All the successors of the Holy Land did not object to the Lord of the Mystic Realm, who was bound by the laws of the Holy Land, taking charge of the Holy Land; on the contrary, they greatly supported it.

"After Lingguang returns from his medical consultation, we will push for the convening of the Secret Realm Main Conference, and then try to finalize the ancient Dan Sheng Temple's operating system, as Gu Xing mentioned, at the conference."

"Once this system is successfully established and the successors of the Holy Land are assigned to various departments, the Dan Sheng Temple can operate normally."
