The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 311, The Lunar Stone
After the three siblings were left in the room, Hua Dalang wanted to ask Hua Changxi what she had done on the Star Gazing Tower the night before, but before he could even open his mouth, Yu Fu came in.

"master."

When Yu Fu saw Hua Dalang and Hua Sanlang, he quickly greeted them with a smile.

After Hua Changxi and the other two finished greeting each other, they asked, "So, do you think Halls 4 and 5 agree to let me use them tonight?"

Yu Fu nodded: "They agreed, but they all made one condition: they would leave someone in the museum to observe at night."

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "Okay." Then she asked Yu Fu to go to Pharmacist Xu to get the list of apprentices for Danyuan Peak. She wanted to choose the apprentices who would be studying at Qihuang Hall No. 4 and Qihuang Hall No. 5 tonight.

After Yu Fu left, Hua Changxi looked at Hua Dalang and Hua Sanlang: "This is your first time visiting Danyuan Peak, eldest brother. If you're not in a hurry to leave, you can ask your third brother to show you around later."

Hua Dalang did not refuse: "Many clansmen are on Danyuan Peak. Now that I'm here, it's only right that I meet everyone." He paused, then couldn't help but offer a reminder.

“Ninth Sister, the commotion you caused at the Star Gazing Tower last night has alarmed quite a few people. You should be more discreet in your actions in the future.”

Hua Changxi looked over: "Judging from your tone, it seems that someone extraordinary has been alarmed?"

Hua Dalang's expression was serious: "After you left last night, several powerful auras descended upon the Star Gazing Tower. It is said that some of them have lived for nearly a thousand years."

Upon hearing this, Hua Changxi's expression changed.

Hua Sanlang curled his lips: "When I first started cultivating, I thought that those cultivators who had lived for two or three hundred years were already remarkable figures. Now, cultivators who have lived for nearly a thousand years have also appeared. In the future, will there be people who have lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years?"

Neither Hua Dalang nor Hua Changxi responded.

Hua Dalang glanced at his younger sister. What he didn't say was that one of the powerful figures had said something: "Those who can manipulate the stars in the heavens possess the ability to change the situation and development of the Four Spirit Realms."

He was skeptical of this statement.

He knew his younger sister, Jiu Niang, quite well. He didn't deny that she was indeed very capable, but her personality was far from pleasant.

In the Hua family, everyone would consciously or unconsciously compromise and back down for the sake of family harmony. Only Jiu Niang would only think of herself when something happened. She could turn the family upside down just because she suffered a little grievance.

A family is supposed to be a whole, but because of Jiu Niang's existence, the Hua family was divided into two camps: one camp consisted of the rest of the Hua family, and the other camp consisted of the maverick Jiu Niang.

This situation became even more pronounced after Jiu Niang began cultivating and gained the ability to protect herself.

Before, at least Jiu Niang lived in the Hua family, but now, she can only return to the Hua family a few times a year.

To put it simply, Jiu Niang is a very self-centered person who only cares about herself. How can someone like her, who can't even integrate into a family, lead or influence the direction and situation of the Four Spirit Realms?

"master."

Yu Fu entered with the apprentice roster, interrupting the three Hua siblings' thoughts.

Hua Changxi took the roster, still thinking about the powerful figure Hua Dalang had mentioned who had lived for nearly a thousand years.

Knowing that she had been exposed to the gaze of a powerful figure instantly reignited her unease.

Looking at the apprentice roster in his hand, Hua Changxi immediately decided that he could not spend too much time on Danyuan Peak and had to quickly train a group of people to take over the daily affairs of Danyuan Peak.

Therefore, when selecting apprentices to study at Qihuang Hall No. 4 and No. 5 tonight, she directly included Ye Lingxuan, Jiang Henian, and Wan Feng, all successors of the Dansheng Hall.

Even if the successors of the Dan Sheng Temple have their own ulterior motives, they will at least not betray the Holy Land.

Hua Changxi selected one hundred apprentices and asked Yu Fu to inform them. Sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from above the Department of Medicine, he said to Hua Dalang and Hua Sanlang, "The Minister of the Heavenly Department has arrived. I'll go greet him. Third Brother, I'll leave Big Brother to you."

As the spirit cloud appeared, Hua Changxi disappeared from the sight of Hua Dalang and Hua Sanlang in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Hua Sanlang paused for a moment and asked, "Brother, what do you think Jiu Niang's cultivation level is now?"

Hua Dalang: "Ninth Sister killed four Nascent Soul stage demon beasts with her first move last night."

Among the Nascent Soul cultivators he knew, none possessed such overwhelming strength!

Hua Sanlang didn't ask any more questions and led Hua Dalang toward his cave. On the way, he told Hua Dalang about the Seventh Prince Chu Junhao's request to see Hua Changxi.

“The people who make deals with Jiu Niang now are either princes or ministers of the Heavenly Department. No wonder she looks down on her family and clansmen.” Hua Sanlang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Hua Dalang: “Brother, Grandfather is willing to listen to you. Next time you go home, try to persuade him.”

Hua Dalang understood his younger brother's meaning: he wanted his grandfather to bow down to Jiu Niang!

Seeing that Hua Dalang remained silent, Hua Sanlang sighed, thinking of Zhu Qinghuan's words of advice: "Nowadays, everyone outside fawns over Jiu Niang and puts her first in everything. If we at home continue to do the opposite, our relationship with Jiu Niang will only become more and more distant."

Hua Dalang felt helpless. He just couldn't understand why, when someone in other families rose to power, it was a case of "one person's success brings prosperity to their entire family," but it was completely different in his family.

"Alright, I'll talk to my grandfather. Now, take me to see my clansmen."

Above the Department of Medicine, atop the spiritual clouds, Wei Zhenjie smiled and handed a piece of black jade to Hua Changxi: "The Twelve Styles of Soul Control are engraved in the Taiyin Stone, which can be read directly with divine sense."

Hua Changxi curiously examined the Taiyin Stone in her hand. The jade felt cool to the touch, but not in a cold or damp way. Instead, it gave her a refreshing feeling that made her soul feel clear and lucid.

"This Taiyin Stone is quite a good thing, Minister Wei. May I ask where it comes from?"

When Wei Zhenjie saw Hua Changxi's blunt and unpolished question, he smiled and said, "A small amount of Taiyin Stone has been unearthed in some areas of Jiuyou, but the place with the most Taiyin Stone is Taiyin Star."

Hua Changxi was stunned: "The Moon?"

Wei Zhenjie nodded, then said regretfully, "The Four Spirit Realms have their own accompanying Sun Star and Moon Star, but unfortunately, the gate to the realm is closed, so we can't go up to the Sun Star and Moon Star."

Another piece of news she didn't know!
Hua Changxi's eyes darted around, and she continued to ask with a smile, "Is it only possible to reach the Sun Star and the Moon Star through the Boundary Gate?"

Wei Zhenjie glanced at Hua Changxi, feigned silence, and then reluctantly answered her, "Do you know about the Boundary Decree?"

Hua Changxi shook her head honestly: "I don't know."

Wei Zhenjie laughed and said, "Cultivators can enter and exit the realm not only through the realm gate, but also by using the realm token. Of course, some secret realms are also connected to the outer realms."

"However, entering and exiting through the secret realm will involve more dangers, because it is unknown where the secret realm is connected to. There is a high probability that you will encounter spatial rifts or get trapped in asteroid belts."

Hua Changxi kept these words in mind: "Thank you for your explanation, Minister Wei. I have another question: how do you imprint something with your divine sense?"

Wei Zhenjie looked at her, smiling without saying a word.

Seeing that he was making an expression as if this was not part of the deal, Hua Changxi smiled awkwardly and said, "Minister Wei, please take out your writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. I will recite the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique for you."

Wei Zhenjie's smile cracked. He looked at Hua Changxi in silence for a while, then took out a piece of animal skin and a Taiyin Stone and handed them to Hua Changxi expressionlessly.

Hua Changxi happily accepted it: "Minister Wei, I won't take advantage of you." As she spoke, she took out ten bottles of top-grade third-rank pills and handed them to Wei Zhenjie.

Wei Zhenjie took the pill without saying anything.

The animal skin scroll contains a technique called "Controlling the Divine Sense," which explains how to manipulate the divine sense, such as how to use the divine sense to write, carve, and record, as well as how to retrieve objects from a distance.

This is just a very basic mind control spell. In exchange for ten bottles of top-grade third-rank pills, he still made a profit.

Hua Changxi quickly finished reading "The Art of Divine Control" and found it quite easy to learn, but she did not learn the Divine Sense Inscription technique in front of Wei Zhenjie on the spot.

“Minister Wei, why don’t you go ahead and attend to your business? I will personally deliver the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to you once I have finished copying it.”

Wei Zhenjie looked at her, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You copied it yourself?"

Hua Changxi nodded: "Of course."

Wei Zhenjie laughed and said, "So, you can project your divine sense outwards?"

Hua Changxi immediately fell silent.

Wei Zhenjie's expression shifted, and he probed again: "You've already opened your spiritual platform?"

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "Guess?"

Wei Zhenjie was speechless, and forced a smile: "I trust young friend Hua, so I won't guess."
