Chapter 59, Pomegranate of Creation
It has been more than two months since Master You left the Medicine Valley. Guo Yu was very worried that he had not returned for such a long time, but he had to guard the Medicine Valley and prevent the ferocious beasts in the mountains from coming down to harm the medicinal materials. He could only pray in his heart that nothing would happen to Master You.

Seeing that he was worried every day, Hua Changxi took the initiative to ask: "Do you know who Mr. You is looking for?"

Guo Yu shook his head: "Master only said to go and meet an old friend and find out what you told him." As he said that, he looked at Hua Changxi seriously.

"Chang Xi, can you tell me what you said to my master?"

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "Your master told me the location of the Nanshan Great Rift Valley, so I told him some secrets that he didn't know. I can also tell you this secret, but what can you give me in exchange?"

She got the opportunity to practice by chance, but she almost lost her life because of it. Of course, she couldn't tell others about it for free.

Guo Yu frowned. He knew that he and Hua Changxi were not close friends, so he had no right to ask others to tell him secrets.

Hua Changxi looked at him with a smile and continued to inquire about Master You: "Master You is a master, so are all his friends masters too?"

Guo Yu glanced at her. He didn't find out the secret he wanted to know, and he didn't want to tell her more about his master, so he said vaguely, "I don't know either."

Hua Changxi didn't care and continued to ask: "Old You is already a master, why does he still work for the Medical Bureau and guard a medicine valley every day?"

Guo Yu: ".Master is from Kyoto Martial Arts Academy."

Hua Changxi was puzzled: "If you graduated from Kyoto Martial Arts Academy, you have to work for the Medical Department?"

Guo Yu looked at Hua Changxi and saw that she looked confused. He was a little surprised: "You are from the Medical Department. Don't you know that the Martial Academy and the Medical Department are both under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Heaven?"

"Tianbu?"

Hua Changxi's eyes flickered, finally hearing some useful information: "I'm just a clerk, and I've only been in the Medical Department for a short time, so I don't know a lot of things."

Guo Yu rolled his eyes and said, imitating Hua Changxi's previous behavior: "These things are indeed not something a servant can know. I can tell you, but what can you give me in exchange?"

Seeing him like this, Hua Changxi found it a little funny. Without saying anything, he took out a bottle of pills and threw it to him: "Tiangang Pills, I collected the herbs when I was wandering in the mountains a few days ago, and made it casually."

Guo Yu looked at Hua Changxi in surprise: "You know I'm an eighth-rank warrior?"

The Digang Pill refined by Hua Changxi and the one he had obtained before were simply not on the same level in terms of efficacy. He had been stuck at the seventh level for many years. After taking the Digang Pill given by Hua Changxi, he successfully broke through to the eighth level while he was sleeping. It was simply unbelievable.

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "I can feel that your inner strength has become stronger."

If her third brother and sixth brother were ants in her eyes, then Guo Yu was a chick. She could indeed feel that the chick's body had become stronger.

"Now can you tell me in detail about the Heavenly Department, the Martial Academy, and the Medical Department?"

Guo Yu looked at her and carefully put away the Tiangang Pill. Although there was no change on his face, he was not at peace in his heart.

Although ordinary people cannot access the news of the Ministry of Heaven, it is not difficult to find out if you enter the Medical Bureau as long as you pay attention and know how to build connections.

One Tiangang Pill costs one thousand taels of silver, and a bottle of ten pills costs ten thousand taels of silver.

Silver is not the most important thing. What is important is that Tiangang Pills are in short supply and are almost never seen on the market. Most likely, they are monopolized by the imperial court and aristocratic families.

Hua Changxi exchanged a bottle of Tiangang Dan for information about the Tianbu. In his opinion, it was really a waste of money.

Such a spendthrift person kept silent about the transaction between her and the master, so how important must the matter they were talking about be?

"The Heavenly Department manages the Martial Academy, the Medical Department, and the Demon Suppression Department. Its status is equal to the other six departments and it is directly led by the Emperor."

"The martial arts academy trains warriors. After they have completed their training, the heavenly department will assign them jobs. They can stay in the martial arts academy as instructors, help the medical department look after the medicine store and medicine valley like the master, or join the demon suppression department."

"Of course, places like the Six Gates, the Imperial Guards, and the Imperial Guards are short of manpower, so they will ask the Heavenly Department for outstanding warriors."

Hua Changxi didn't care much about other things. She had never heard of the Demon Suppression Division before, so she couldn't help but ask, "What does the Demon Suppression Division do?"

Guo Yu: "The Demon Suppression Division specializes in hunting down evil beasts. Demon monks and demon Taoist priests often appear in various places, and they are also under the jurisdiction of the Demon Suppression Division. By the way, there is a sect called Shura Sect in the martial arts world, which is the biggest rival of the Demon Suppression Division."

Hua Changxi silently kept the Demon Suppression Division in his heart.

The Demon Suppression Division is responsible for hunting ferocious beasts. Even if she encounters monsters, the people from the Demon Suppression Division will only encounter them earlier than her.

The Demon Suppression Division is also responsible for dealing with matters concerning demon monks and demon Taoist priests. She was able to gain an opportunity to practice cultivation thanks to a demon Taoist priest, so there is no reason why people from the Demon Suppression Division wouldn't encounter such an opportunity.

Therefore, there are definitely cultivators among the Demon Suppression Division!
This inference made Hua Changxi feel excited and nervous.

What was exciting was that she knew where there were monks like her.

What is worrying is that the Demon Suppression Division must have started practicing Taoism earlier than her, and their strength must be above hers.

Not only the Demon Suppression Division, there must be other organizations that most likely have cultivators. She was worried that her realm was too low, and if they met in the future and a conflict occurred, she would be the one being crushed.

Hua Changxi felt a sense of urgency to improve her realm as soon as possible. She didn't want to put herself in danger.

"Master Guo, after graduating from the martial arts academy, the martial artists must be assigned tasks by the Heavenly Department?"

Guo Yu: "If you have a good background, you don't have to use it."

"The Tianbu is in charge of the Medical Department. Warriors can use their merit points to exchange for elixirs that they cannot buy on the market. In order to improve their strength, warriors who meet the Tianbu's employment standards will choose to stay."

Hua Changxi thought of Hua Dalang: "My eldest brother will graduate this year. I wonder where he will be assigned to work?"

Guo Yu looked surprised: "Is your elder brother from the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy?"

Hua Changxi nodded.

Guo Yu immediately asked, "What rank of warrior is he?"

Hua Changxi: "During the Chinese New Year, he was a sixth-rank warrior. I wonder if he has broken through to the seventh rank now?"

Hearing this, Guo Yu's mouth twitched. It took him five years to break through from the sixth rank to the seventh rank, and only a few months had passed since the Chinese New Year. Even if Hua Changxi's brother was a genius, he couldn't have risen from the sixth rank to the seventh rank in just a few months.

However, when he thought of the elixir refined by Hua Changxi, he became a little uncertain again.

"A sixth or seventh rank warrior is not weak in strength. If you have connections, you can try to get him a job that suits your wishes."

"The Demon Suppression Division is definitely the most dangerous in hunting down ferocious beasts every day, but it also has the greatest merit."

"Helping the Medical Bureau to look after the medicine store and medicine valley is a bit boring, but it's safe and there won't be a shortage of medicinal materials."

"If you want to accumulate more connections, you can choose to stay in the martial arts academy."

"If you want to enter places like the Six Gates and the Imperial Guard, you need connections."

Hua Changxi thought about how her good elder brother was very close to the Bo family during the New Year, so she didn't think much about it. Anyway, the Hua family never took her opinions seriously.

Time flies and it is the last day of June.

[First-class Alchemist (Top-quality Alchemy): Alchemy 1001 furnaces 1001/10000]
Hua Changxi refined more than 1000 furnaces of elixirs, and the quality of the elixirs was improved again.

Looking at the top-grade Yuanling Pill with a halo in his hand, Hua Changxi swallowed it in one gulp. As the pill entered his mouth, it immediately turned into a warm current that swept through his body.

Hua Changxi carefully observed the smoothness of the absorption and refining of the four grades of Yuanling Pills.

When taking a low-grade pill, the warm current brings with it an obvious sense of stagnation; when taking a medium-grade pill, the stagnation is much less; when taking a high-grade pill, the stagnation is even less; when taking a top-grade pill, there is no stagnation at all.

The sluggish feeling produced when the elixir is being refined and absorbed will impact the spiritual veins and have a certain impact on them. Over time, it is estimated that the spiritual veins will be damaged.

At the same time, the refining and absorption of the elixir is also insufficient. The inferior elixir is the worst, and the top-grade elixir has almost no residue left.

Hua Changxi thought that if the pills were not fully absorbed and remained in the body, it would probably form the legendary elixir poison: "In the future, when taking pills, it is best to only take top-grade pills."

As for other types of elixirs that have been refined, they are sold.

Hua Changxi took out the Fire Returning Grass found in some cracks in the Fire Spirit Mine and began to refine the best Fire Returning Pill. The Fire Returning Pill can instantly replenish the consumed spiritual energy without the need for refining and absorption. The spiritual energy is replenished quickly, but it cannot be used to increase the realm.

To improve your realm, you also need to take Yuanling Pills.

Afterwards, Hua Changxi began to refine the Fire-Returning Pill. After just five batches, he heard Guo Yu's anxious shouts.

"Hua Changxi!"

Guo Yu couldn't find the stone cave where Hua Changxi made the elixir, so he could only stand on a huge tree in the middle of the rift and shout at the top of his lungs.

After hearing this, Hua Changxi put the alchemy tools and herbs into the Shennong Ding and walked out quickly: "Master Guo, why are you here in the Rift Valley?"

Guo Yu was very tactful in his dealings with her and had looked for her from the Future Rift.

Seeing Hua Changxi, Guo Yu seemed to have seen a savior: "Changxi, my master is back. He and his friends are all seriously injured. My master said that only you can save them. Come back with me to see them."

Seeing Guo Yu sweating profusely in anxiety, Hua Changxi didn't say anything else. He hurried to the Medicine Valley with him and asked, "Tell me about their injuries."

Guo Yu's face turned pale. "It's cracked. The friend my master brought back has no intact skin or flesh on his body. It's all cracked. It seems..."

Seeing that Guo Yu couldn't describe it, Hua Changxi said it for him: "My body feels like it's about to burst."

When Guo Yu heard this, he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it seems like it's about to burst."

Hua Changxi probably guessed what happened to You Lao's friend: "You Lao's friend probably won't be able to hold on for long. I'll go first, you can come back slowly."

As soon as the voice fell, Guo Yu saw Hua Changxi rushing past his sight, and within a few breaths his figure disappeared from his sight.

Guo Yu swallowed his saliva, his heart was filled with shock. He could guess that Hua Changxi, who was valued by his master, had some abilities, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.

He learned the art of lightness from his master, so even if he was traveling with his master, he would not fall behind too much.

But now, not only could he not catch up with Hua Changxi, he had even lost track of her.

Hua Changxi's strength was far beyond his master's, which he had never expected.

As soon as Hua Changxi arrived at the stone cliff halfway up the West Mountain, he heard painful roars and You Lao's anxious comforting voice coming from the cave. He shouted, "You Lao, I'm here," and walked straight in.

"Changxi."

Seeing Hua Changxi, You Lao rushed over and grabbed her: "Changxi, please take a look at my old friend and see if he can be saved."

Hua Changxi flicked lightly, causing You Lao to let go of his hand, and then walked straight towards the bloody man lying on the stone bed.

This person really has no intact skin at all. His skin is torn and the gap is constantly getting bigger.

If there weren't two people on his left and right who were continuously supplying him with internal energy and suppressing the spiritual power running wild in his body, this man would have exploded and died long ago.

"Help him sit up."

After hearing this, Mr. You hurried forward and helped the bloody man up with extreme caution.

Hua Changxi gathered the spiritual power in his hand and slapped the bloody man on the head, and at the same time asked the two people who were transmitting internal energy to stop.

The two men looked at Mr. You, and when they saw Mr. You nod, they stopped at the same time.

The bloody man had not much spiritual energy running through his body. In less than a minute, Hua Changxi had forced all the spiritual energy out of his body.

When You Lao and the other two saw that the bloody man's body did not continue to split, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them even fell to the ground in exhaustion.

You Lao looked at Hua Changxi: "Is he okay?"

Hua Changxi: "How can he be fine? His tendons and veins are all broken, his internal organs are shattered, he is now a porcelain doll covered with cracks. If we don't pay attention, this porcelain doll will fall apart."

You Lao's face turned pale, and he looked at Hua Changxi nervously: "Can he be saved?"

Hua Changxi did not answer, but looked at the other two people in the cave. She could sense that the internal strength in these two people's bodies was the same as that of Old You, and they all had the power of masters.

The blood man should be the same, but unfortunately, after doing this, all his cultivation was wiped out.

Seeing that Hua Changxi did not deny it, You Lao knew that she had a way to save him. Thinking of the fact that he had told her the location of the Great Rift Valley before, she only mentioned the matter of the monks, so he said seriously: "As long as you can save him, we will agree to anything you want."

The other two also quickly expressed their opinions: "Yes, as long as we can save Yang Chuan, we will agree to any request you make."

Hua Changxi was silent for a while, then looked at You Lao: "I want to see the fruit he ate."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three You brothers changed at the same time.

Old You looked at Hua Changxi and said, "How do you know that we still have the fruit he ate?"

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "I sensed it."

Hearing this, You Lao's face was not very good. They sealed the fruit in a box, but they didn't expect that Hua Changxi could still sense it. He looked at his old friend on the left: "Zhuo Fan, give him the fruit."

Zhuo Fan hesitated a little, because the four of them had risked their lives to get this fruit.

Seeing that he didn't move, another person spoke up: "Give it to her."

Yang Chuan almost exploded and died after eating the fruit. They didn't dare to keep it and eat it. They might as well see what the little girl has to say.

Zhuo Fan reluctantly took off the box from his waist and handed it to Hua Changxi.

Hua Changxi took it, opened the box, and saw a pomegranate emitting colorful light. A piece of the pomegranate skin was peeled off, revealing a groove.

Obviously, the bloody man must have eaten a pomegranate seed, which almost caused him to explode and die.

Pomegranate of creation!

Hua Changxi looked at You Lao and the other two curiously: "Where did you find this fruit?"

Zhuo Fan frowned: "This has nothing to do with saving people."

Seeing that they didn't want to talk, Hua Changxi asked again: "Someone is chasing you, right?" Although he asked, his tone was very sure.

Mr. You looked a little solemn, and the other two also remained silent.

Hua Changxi: "If you don't seal this fruit, those who are chasing you will find you in no time."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three You brothers changed.

You Lao was a little anxious: "How do we seal it?"

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "You can't seal it."

Zhuo Fan frowned and snorted, "Are you going to tell us that only you can seal this fruit?"

Seeing him like this, Hua Changxi threw the box back to him and said, "If the fruit is not sealed, not only will the people chasing you come here quickly, but the fruit will also become useless in a few days."

After saying that, he stepped out of the cave.

When You Lao saw this, he glared at Zhuo Fan and quickly chased after him: "Chang Xi, stay. The four of us fought hard to get that fruit back, so my friend's attitude is a bit bad."

Hua Changxi said calmly: "What happened to you has nothing to do with me. I have no obligation to comfort him."

"Mr. You, for the sake of our acquaintance, I remind you that your injured friend won't last for many more hours. I can save him, but what will you use to keep him alive?"

"Go and have a good discussion with your friends."
