The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 317, Public Alchemy
The life force provided a much-needed boost to the wounded, preventing them from dying at any moment, and also bought the medical staff time to provide treatment.

"Who is that female cultivator?"

High in the sky, dozens of elders from the Central Holy Land, the Weapon Saint Palace, the Talisman Saint Pavilion, and the Array Saint Sect each guarded their respective areas, working together to maintain the stability of the spiritual energy shield.

"Her? She is Hua Changxi, the peak master of Danyuan Peak in the Dansheng Hall."

After hearing this, the elders of the three sacred lands of artifacts, talismans, and arrays took another serious look at Hua Changxi below.

"She was quite willing to do that, almost completely exhausting the life force in the branches of the Immortal Divine Tree. It won't be easy to replenish it."

"Thanks to her, otherwise, even more people would have died this time."

"I wonder where those old guys from the Pill Saint Hall are hiding? They've managed to hold out until now without showing themselves; they're quite capable."

Although the people from the Dan Sheng Temple did not step in to stabilize the spiritual energy shield, the people from other holy lands did not seem to care too much.

Nothing more than the main force of the Dan Sheng Temple in healing the wounded.

Furthermore, the life force that Hua Changxi just consumed was no less valuable than theirs.

"In the past, those old guys from the Pill Saint Hall didn't show up because they had no choice but to avoid being infiltrated by the royal family and powerful clans. But now, it's probably intentional. Those old guys probably want the young people to take the lead, hoping to revitalize the Pill Saint Hall in this way."

"In this respect, we also need to learn from them."

The communication in the air continued, while on the ground, under the grateful gazes of many wounded, Hua Changxi walked toward the medicine stall where the Danyuan Peak disciples were located.

"Peak Lord."

"master."

Yu Fu and Zhou Shou quickly went to meet them.

Seeing that the two looked at him with some trepidation, Hua Changxi immediately said, "You have done a very good job by taking the initiative to bring people here to treat the wounded this time."

Upon hearing this, Yu Fu and Zhou Shou immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Hua Changxi continued, "In the future, when I am not around, if similar things happen again, you managers should discuss and decide together. Remember, do not go against Dan Yuan Peak's mission of 'saving all living beings from suffering'."

Yu Fu and Zhou Shou quickly agreed.

Then, Yu Fu began to complain: "Master, you don't know, this time the entire Department of Medicine was mobilized, but no one from Qihuang Pavilion and Lingjing Pavilion came to inform Danyuan Peak."

"If our people hadn't been alert and followed us here, people outside might not even know that the Department of Medicine has a Dan Yuan Peak."

After hearing this, Hua Changxi frowned and looked at the medicine stalls in the distance.

In front of each medicine stall stood a flag that read "So-and-so Secret Realm" or "So-and-so Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall".

Hua Changxi knew perfectly well that Qihuang Pavilion and Lingjing Pavilion deliberately excluded Danyuan Peak in order to isolate and ostracize her, waiting for her to bow down to them on her own initiative.

"Ignore them for now."

Hua Changxi withdrew his gaze and walked towards the Dan Yuan Peak apprentices who were treating the wounded.

The people that Yu Fu and Zhou Shou brought this time were all apprentices with experience in treating patients and making elixirs.

Among them, Ye Lingxuan, Jiang Henian, and several other disciples of the Dan Sheng Hall stood out, as they treated the most people.

Hua Changxi looked around and saw that whether it was Danyuan Peak or other medicine stalls, the pharmacists were treating the injured one by one.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi shook her head.

There were already many wounded and few healers. Even with the nourishment of life force, most of the wounded would probably not survive long enough to receive medical treatment.

"Yu Fu".

"Master, I'm here."

Hua Changxi looked at Yu Fu and said, "Go and set up eight large iron pots. I'll go back to Danyuan Peak right away to get some spiritual herbs. I'll be brewing medicine later."

As soon as the blessing was given, Hua Changxi rode away on a cloud.

Yu Fu was very efficient. Not long after Hua Changxi left, he set up eight large iron pots next to the medicine stall at Danyuan Peak.

Since Hua Changxi appeared, Dan Yuanfeng's medicine stall has attracted attention from all sides. Seeing them set up eight large iron pots, many people's expressions changed.

The injuries suffered by the patients were mainly of three types: spatial rifts that cut into the physical body, fire poisoning, and ingestion of demonic energy.

Injuries are easy to categorize, but treating them is difficult. During this time, some medical professionals tried to treat the injured in batches according to their categories, but unfortunately, they all failed.

The reason is nothing more than a shortage of medicine.

Alchemists and pill refiners were so busy they couldn't keep up, and they were unable to supply the numerous wounded patients.

Qingyao Peak Medicinal Herb Stall.

Meng Yuchuan's face was embarrassed: "Why does Hua Changxi love to show off so much? Setting up so many iron pots, I don't believe she can actually mass-produce medicine to treat the wounded."

Meng Qingyao remained silent, though she also felt that Hua Changxi was incapable of treating the wounded in large numbers.

For ordinary people, brewing medicinal soup can be somewhat effective in repairing their physical bodies; but for cultivators, they need to take body-shaping elixirs, as ordinary medicinal soups are ineffective.

As for clearing away the fire poison, even mortals need to take the corresponding spiritual medicine powder. Although spiritual medicine powder is easier to refine than spiritual pills, it is still impossible to refine a large quantity at once.

A first-grade alchemist can only process a maximum of ten spiritual herbs at a time.

Clearing away demonic energy is even more difficult.

Demonic energy is divided into demonic energy and evil energy, and they must be treated separately when clearing it.

Inhaling demonic energy will pollute and corrode the spiritual energy in the body, making it impure. Once the demonic energy in the dantian exceeds the spiritual energy, demonization will occur.

Only the Purifying Elixir can purify demonic energy.

The main ingredient for refining the Purifying Spirit Pill, the Purifying Spirit Flower, only appears in the battlefield ruins of the war between humans and demons. It is irrigated by the blood of humans and demons. She had only seen a few of them in the Xia family's storeroom.

Currently, the healers can only suppress the demonic energy within the injured person's body on a one-on-one basis to prevent it from running rampant.

As for demonic energy, it mainly affects a person's mind. If too much is inhaled, it will induce desires and inner demons, causing a person to become insane.

To eliminate demonic energy, one can either take a calming pill or bathe in Buddhist chants—the calming mantra.

The Qingxin Pill is not easy to make; it requires Qingxin Bamboo as the main ingredient.

While the Pure Heart Bamboo isn't as rare as the Pure Spirit Flower, it takes a very long time to mature, a hundred years, and is only found in the Divine Tree Secret Realm and a few other blessed lands. Because it's difficult to refine, it can't be supplied in large quantities to the wounded.

Nowadays, the only way to clear away demonic energy is for the monks of Daxiang Temple and Dixiu Temple to chant the Heart-Cleansing Mantra.

Aside from these difficulties, the fact that each patient's condition is different makes it really hard to treat a large number of patients at once.

Meng Qingyao glanced at the medicine stall on Danyuan Peak again: "Alright, don't let Hua Changxi influence us, let's speed up the rescue."

The others shared similar thoughts with Meng Qingyao, and instead of keeping an eye on the Dan Yuanfeng medicine stall, they continued to treat the injured one by one.

Two hours later, Hua Changxi reappeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing that the iron pots were set up, Hua Changxi instructed Yu Fu and Zhou Shou to each take charge of four pots: "Yu Fu, these four pots are for repairing the physical body; Zhou Shou, these four pots are for clearing away the fire poison."

After that, the two of them were asked to arrange the four pots they were each responsible for in order.

Pot number one is for ordinary people; pot number two is for cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm; pot number three is for cultivators in the Qi Sea Realm; and pot number four is for cultivators in the Core Formation Realm.

Because among the injured are both mortals and cultivators, and the treatment methods for mortals and cultivators are different; and because cultivators also require different dosages due to their different cultivation levels, Hua Changxi made this classification.

Immediately, Hua Changxi took out a spiritual medicine to repair her body. With one hand controlling the spiritual fire and the other controlling the spiritual medicine, she directly used the spiritual fire to refine the spiritual medicine and extract the useful components from it.

Each medicinal herb was refined by the spiritual fire, turning into medicinal liquid. Useless components evaporated directly, while the useful parts fell into the iron pot.

Hua Changxi refines spiritual herbs not one by one, but hundreds at a time.

The Shennong Cauldron can refine tens of thousands of spiritual pills in one furnace, and she has become accustomed to processing spiritual herbs in large quantities at a time.

She was used to making medicine this way, but everyone else was stunned.

Whether it was Ye Lingxuan, Jiang Henian, and others who were successors of the Dan Sheng Hall, or Meng Qingyao, the chosen alchemist with the Fire and Wood Spirit Body, they were all shocked by Hua Changxi's alchemy methods.

Refining hundreds of spiritual herbs together while ensuring that each herb is fully refined and that useful components are extracted—at this moment, everyone had a clear and intuitive understanding of Hua Changxi's alchemy skills.

"Hua Changxi truly lives up to his reputation as the number one person in the Pill Saint Hall!" someone exclaimed in amazement.

Before long, the No. 1 iron pot for repairing the physical body was filled with medicinal soup. At the same time, a rich aroma of medicine spread through the air.
