The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 284, The Embroidered Uniform Guards Come to the Door

With the release of the magical artifacts, the news that the four holy lands of alchemy, formation, artifact, and talisman jointly recruited disciples swept across the entire Great Jin Dynasty like a tornado, causing countless cultivators who had no way to find a master to become excited.

In an instant, countless cultivators from all corners of the country flocked to the capital.

The fact that the four holy lands are openly recruiting disciples is undoubtedly a good thing for ordinary cultivators; however, it is not a good thing for local powerful families and the royal family.

Local powerful families don't want all the talented people under their jurisdiction to leave.

The royal family simply doesn't want the Holy Land to recover and rise too quickly, as this would seriously threaten the royal family's authority.

The artifacts have already been deployed to various locations, and it's too late to stop them. Furthermore, the artifacts are of a high enough grade that they cannot be destroyed by human intervention.

If a problem arises and you can't solve it, then deal with the person who created the problem!
Sure enough, before the cultivators from various regions even arrived in the capital, the Embroidered Uniform Guards had already approached Hua Changxi.

It wasn't that the royal family didn't want to take this opportunity to contact the successors of the other three holy lands; it was simply that, among the recruitment announcements of the four holy lands, only the Dan Sheng Temple's recruitment explicitly targeted Dan Yuan Peak.

The other three holy sites require cultivators to find their own registration locations. In addition, apart from the Dan Sheng Temple, the other holy sites usually operate very discreetly, so much so that the royal family cannot contact the specific person in charge at all.

On the morning of August 21, Xue Xian, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, personally led a team of Embroidered Uniform Guards to the Department of Medicine.

Meanwhile, at the summit of Danyuan Peak, Hua Changxi had just returned from the Lingguang Hall, her face still radiating the joy of having perfected the fourth chapter of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, the Tendon Refining Chapter.

The results of honing her body through practicing the Floating Light Sword technique were even better than she had imagined.

Because she couldn't improve her mental state, her cultivation stagnated at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, making her feel very insecure.

Now that's good, since practicing the Floating Light Sword can effectively hone her body, she can continue practicing the fifth chapter of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, the Blood Refining Chapter, which can also enhance her strength through body refinement.

Before the smile had faded, Hua Changxi saw Yu Fu and the other three looking flustered as they hurried over: "Master, something bad has happened! The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard has arrived and specifically requests to see you."

Hua Changxi's expression changed, and he frowned: "What does the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard want with me?"

Yu Fu shook his head: "I don't know, but the Imperial Guards are coming in a menacing manner, which is probably not a good thing."

Hua Changxi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "I am also from Qihuang Pavilion and Lingjing Pavilion. When the Embroidered Uniform Guard came knocking, did Qihuang Pavilion and Lingjing Pavilion intervene?"

Yu Fu and the other three remained silent for a moment, then shook their heads.

Hua Changxi wasn't surprised, and asked again, "What about the Department of Medicine? Director Gu just let the Embroidered Uniform Guards come in directly?"

Yu Fu: "Director Gu did try to negotiate with the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but the Embroidered Uniform Guard was too powerful, and Director Gu was helpless."

Hua Changxi didn't ask any more questions after that. She realized that neither Qihuang Pavilion, Lingjing Pavilion, nor the Department of Medicine considered her one of them.

She wasn't surprised by this, and thought she didn't care, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Hua Changxi didn't dwell on this discomfort and said to Yu Fu and the other three, "Let's go see the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

On the square, Xue Xian stood at the eastern edge of the square, his hands behind his back, his face expressionless, silently gazing in the direction of Danyuan Peak.

Behind him stood more than twenty imposing Imperial Guards.

Director Gu, as the head of the Medical Department, accompanied the Imperial Guards throughout the entire process, accompanied by his confidants and several apprentices.

His original plan was to have Hua Changxi meet with the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the council hall of the Medical Department building.

In this way, no matter what the Embroidered Uniform Guard wanted to talk to Hua Changxi about, they could discuss it privately and there would be room for maneuver.

Unexpectedly, Xue Xian decided to openly meet Hua Changxi in the square.

Director Gu glanced at Danyuan Peak and sighed inwardly. The Embroidered Uniform Guards were coming with great force; it seemed this matter was no small thing.

The others in the Medical Department, out of fear of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, wanted to see what was happening, but dared not get too close. In the Qihuang Pavilion and Lingjing Pavilion, many people stood by the windows, watching the commotion in the square.

Xia Zhen chuckled and sighed, "The royal family finally couldn't sit still anymore."

This time, he wanted to see how Hua Changxi would break the deadlock!

"Hua Changxi is here!"

As the spirit cloud descended, Hua Changxi led Yu Fu and the other three down from it.

After Hua Changxi appeared, Xue Xian's gaze fell on her.

Um.
Unexpectedly young and naive, yet also unexpectedly unfathomable!
Yes, it is unfathomable.

Xue Xian was surprised to find that he could not fathom Hua Changxi's true abilities at all.

Sure enough, those who dare to act so aggressively in the capital must have some backing.

Suddenly, Xue Xian's expression changed. He saw that when Hua Changxi looked at him and his men behind her, a glint of light appeared in her eyes. Although it quickly disappeared, he was certain that he hadn't seen wrong.

Is that an alien eye?!
While Xue Xian was sizing up Hua Changxi, Hua Changxi didn't stand on ceremony and immediately used his diagnostic skills to examine Xue Xian and his men.

The Imperial Guards who came this time were very strong. The leader, Xue Xian, was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and his subordinates included eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and the rest were in the late stage of the Core Formation Realm.

Moreover, these people have a powerful aura, and they look like they've come from a bloody past.

Despite the menacing presence of the Imperial Guards, Hua Changxi remained remarkably calm.

She discovered that, like the Nascent Soul cultivators she had seen in Nanxiang County, the Nascent Soul cultivators among this group of Imperial Guards had significantly less spiritual energy stored in their bodies than she did.

Even if all the Imperial Guards who came today attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for her.

With no immediate danger to her life, Hua Changxi felt relieved and turned her gaze to Director Gu.

Director Gu was also a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, and she also checked the spiritual energy reserves in his body.

Yes. Just like other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

In other words, the spiritual energy stored in the bodies of other cultivators is not as great as hers.

Hua Changxi was almost certain that her body could store more than ten times, or even more, the spiritual energy that other cultivators could store.

Hua Changxi recalled that every time he broke through a cultivation realm, even though his cultivation data was full, he still had to continue cultivating.

[Realm: Nascent Soul Realm 99.99 billion/10 billion]
She has now cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. Originally, after her cultivation data increased to 10 billion points, she should have been able to break through the realm. However, even though her cultivation data has increased to 99.99 billion points, she still hasn't been able to break through.

Hua Changxi guessed that the fact that she could hold more spiritual energy than others was definitely related to this.

When Director Gu saw that Hua Changxi was either observing the Embroidered Uniform Guards or spacing out after she appeared, he felt helpless and stepped forward with a smile to act as the introducer.

"Commander Xue, this is Hua Changxi, the master of the No. 13 Qihuang Hall, the peak master of Danyuan Peak, and the master of Danyuan Secret Realm."

Listening to Director Gu's long introduction, Hua Changxi's lips twitched, and Xue Xian also glanced at Director Gu.

Director Gu was completely unaware and introduced Hua Changxi: "Master Hua, this is the Emperor's confidant, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Xue Xian, Lord Xue."

At this moment, Hua Changxi and Xue Xian finally met each other's eyes.
