The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 442, Life Weapon

Hua Changxi felt somewhat guilty because Chang Wei's physical body had almost collapsed. She looked at Jia Lu, Ye Lingxuan, and Jiang Henian and said, "I'm entrusting Chang Wei to you three. Make sure you take good care of his health."

After explaining this, she picked up the Qihuang Token on the control panel.

Seeing the sword pattern revealed on the token, Hua Changxi was certain—her guess about the content taught at the Qihuang Hall from number ten to eighteen was correct.

Hua Changxi removed the isolation array and walked towards Pang Shaoyu: "For the next period of time, you and your uncle will stay at the Qihuang Hall No. 10." Then, she looked at Yu Fu and said, "Prepare a room for them to stay in."

After Yu Fu nodded in agreement, he turned around and went out to have someone prepare.

Pang Shaoyu still looked shaken as he anxiously asked Hua Changxi, "Is my uncle alright?"

Hua Changxi: "Don't worry, he's fine." She paused, "Fortunately, your uncle has been practicing body tempering."

Otherwise, Chang Wei's physical body would definitely not be able to withstand the impact caused by the 'manifestation of spiritual roots'.

Pang Shaoyu also looked relieved: "My uncle has never given up his cultivation all these years."

Hua Changxi hummed in agreement: "So, opportunities are always given to ourselves."

Thinking of Chang Wei's cracked spiritual root, Pang Shaoyu asked somewhat nervously, "Can my uncle's spiritual root be cured?"

This time, Hua Changxi gave a very clear answer: "Yes. However, he has to recover first before treatment can begin. I also need to prepare some things."

Thinking of the "Life Artifact" mentioned in the "Creation Hand Divine Power", Hua Changxi took out the One Thought Communication and sent a message to Tong Yao.

"Do you have time? Could you come to the Pill Saint Hall?"

"Have you heard of 'Life Artifacts'? I want to forge a batch of 'Life Artifacts'."

"I can't really describe this kind of spiritual artifact. You'll have a better understanding once you come to the Pill Saint Hall and see firsthand how 'life artifacts' are used and what they are meant to be used on."

The message was sent, but Tong Yao did not reply immediately.

Hua Changxi put away the One Thought Transmission, walked out of the treatment room, and called Yu Fu: "Go and ask the disciples of Danyuan Peak who are at or above the third level of Body Refinement if they want to see what their spiritual roots look like, and then bring those who are willing to come to the Qihuang Hall No. 10."

Chang Wei is a cultivator at the second level of Body Refinement, and his spiritual root has manifested. If he can hold out for a while, then the probability of a cultivator at the third level of Body Refinement experiencing physical collapse should be much smaller.

Of course, we'll have to experiment to see the specifics.

After Fu left, Hua Changxi suddenly thought of a question—if a cultivator does not refine his body, can he not manifest his spiritual root, dantian, and sea of ​​consciousness?
What caused Chang Wei's physical body to almost collapse? Was it because his physical body was not strong enough, or was it because she was too unfamiliar with using the "Creation Hand Divine Power"?

"Om~"

With a single thought, Tong Yao responded to the message.

"Have time."

“I have seen an introduction to ‘Life Artifacts’ in the ‘Illustrated Compendium of Magical Artifacts in the Four Spirit Realms’. Life Artifacts do not have grades, but the difficulty of refining them is comparable to that of Dao Artifacts used by Dao Lords.”

"The Artifact Saint Palace has never forged such an artifact before. I would be very willing to go and see what kind of scenarios and objects the life artifacts are used for."

Hua Changxi replied, "Then come over now."

There were quite a few Dan Yuan Peak disciples who wanted to see what their spiritual roots looked like. Before long, Yu Fu began to lead the Dan Yuan Peak disciples into the No. 10 Qihuang Hall in batches.

The commotion at Danyuan Peak naturally attracted onlookers from all sides.

"How do you think Hua Changxi unlocked the secrets of the various medical clinics?"

Since the teaching content of Qihuang Hall No. 1 to No. 6 and Qihuang Hall No. 8 was determined, all parties in Dansheng Temple have carried out various explorations and studies on other Qihuang Halls along this direction.

Unfortunately, nothing was gained.

Looking at the No. 10 Qihuang Hall, Meng Qingyao thought of their discussion on the spaceship on the way back from Lingguang Hall.

Was Hua Changxi verifying the methods of 'spiritual healing' at the Qihuang Hall No. 10?
Thinking about the target of 'spiritual healing', Meng Qingyao quickly guessed that the focus of Qihuang Hall No. 10 was very likely related to spiritual roots.

If that's the case, then the eleventh Qihuang Hall should specialize in the dantian (energy center) aspect.

Following this logic, Number Twelve specializes in the Golden Core stage; Number Thirteen specializes in the Nascent Soul stage; Number Fourteen specializes in the Sea of ​​Consciousness; and Number Fifteen specializes in the Primordial Spirit stage?

What about Halls 16, 17, and 18? What will they focus on?
Based on this deduction, Meng Qingyao also wanted to confirm her guess: the owner of Pavilion No. 11 was Shen Qianfan, who definitely wouldn't want her to leave the pavilion for experiments. The owner of Pavilion No. 12 was Wu Lingyue.
Thinking of the close relationship between the Xia and Wu families, Meng Qingyao stopped paying attention to the No. 10 Qihuang Hall and turned to find Xia Zhen to discuss the experiment in Hall No. 12.

Inside the No. 10 Qihuang Hall, the first batch of disciples brought by Yu Fu were all cultivating both physical and spiritual abilities, with the lowest cultivation level being the Core Formation Realm.

Hua Changxi didn't know if it would cause pain for cultivators to manifest their spiritual roots while they were awake. She needed to verify this, so she chose Dugu Lie, the strongest among them, to conduct the first experiment.

Tong Yao arrived faster than expected. As soon as he arrived, Hua Changxi had a brief conversation with him before leading him into the treatment room.

The cultivation methods of cultivators with spiritual roots are not to be known to outsiders. Apart from Jia Lu, Ye Lingxuan, and Jiang Henian, who are there to assist in case of accidents, no one else is allowed to enter.

Hua Changxi wanted to reassure Dugu Lie and tell him not to be nervous, assuring him that his safety was guaranteed. However, the man remained calm, with excitement and eagerness shining in his eyes.

"You trust me so much, aren't you afraid I'll hurt you?"

This was the first time Dugu Lie had been so close to Hua Changxi. He looked up at her and said, "You are the peak master, so of course I believe you."

Hua Changxi chuckled: "If I weren't the Peak Master, you wouldn't believe me?"

Dugu Lie was at a loss for words.

Upon seeing this, Ye Lingxuan quickly smiled and said, "What we believe in is you, Peak Master."

Hua Changxi just wanted to lighten the mood and didn't say anything more.

Since Dugu Lie was not injured, Hua Changxi did not let him lie down. Instead, she had him sit cross-legged to regulate his breathing. After he entered a meditative state, she began to use the 'Creation Hand Divine Power'.

The second time they saw Hua Changxi use the 'Creation Hand', Jia Lu and the other two were still full of amazement.

As for Tong Yao, who was meeting him for the first time, he was completely dumbfounded.

When Dugu Lie's spiritual root manifested, the mouths of the four people involuntarily opened.

Compared to Chang Wei's cracked spiritual root, Dugu Lie's spiritual root was absolutely beautiful.

Dugu Lie possesses the Five Elements Spiritual Roots. The Rainbow Bridge of Spiritual Roots he manifests flows with distinct streams of five colors, resembling a five-colored lotus flower.

Hua Changxi closely monitored Dugu Lie's condition. Seeing that he showed no abnormalities, she touched his spiritual root with the 'Creation Hand'.

The moment his spiritual root was touched, Dugu Lie trembled.

Hua Changxi immediately understood that when someone touches a manifested spiritual root while in a conscious state, the person involved can feel it.

"Do you see that? That's a cultivator's spiritual root."

"My understanding of a life artifact is that it can travel between the real and the virtual, and can carry spiritual power; at the same time, it must be delicate enough to move freely within a small space."

“To perform treatments using life-saving instruments, various sizes of surgical knives, suture needles, tweezers, and other such items are needed, so all of these need to be crafted.”

Tong Yao nodded: "May I touch your 'hand'?"

Hua Changxi: "Of course."

Tong Yao reached out and passed right through Hua Changxi's 'Creation Hand', exclaiming in amazement, "I sensed your hand, but I didn't feel it clearly. This feeling is truly strange."

Hua Changxi listened and said, "The manifested spiritual root should feel the same way. So, how about it? Can you refine a life-bound artifact that can operate within the spiritual root, dantian, and sea of ​​consciousness?"

Tong Yao nodded: "I'm quite confident in refining life-bound artifacts that target spiritual roots; but I'll have to go back and consult the elders for life-bound artifacts that target the dantian and sea of ​​consciousness."

After hearing this, Hua Changxi nodded and looked at Dugu Lie's dantian. She wanted to reveal his dantian so that Tong Yao could see it up close, but in the end, she shook her head and gave up.

This was the second time she had used the "Creation Hand" divine power. The first time she used it, it almost caused Chang Wei's physical body to collapse. She couldn't guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen when she manifested her dantian.

If her dantian is damaged, it will be a serious injury, and she cannot risk Dugu Lie's life.

Hua Changxi put away the 'Creation Hand' divine power and looked at Tong Yao: "Then you first help me refine a set of life artifacts that work on my spiritual root. As for the dantian and sea of ​​consciousness, we'll talk about that later."

Tong Yao agreed: "Okay."
