Chapter 202: The Original Heart is Obscured

Hua Changxi walked out of the Dixiu Temple quickly with a gloomy face.

Tong Yao followed behind her, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

When they arrived at the gate of Dixiu Temple, Hua Changxi suddenly stopped and asked, “Fellow Daoist Tong, Master Jing is not very old, right?”

Tong Yao nodded.

Hua Changxi’s expression eased a little: “That’s right, he is not very old, his cultivation is probably average, and his understanding of Buddhism is probably just superficial.”

“.”Tong Yao looked at Hua Changxi and wanted to say, you don’t look very old, but your cultivation is quite scary.

Hua Changxi snorted, looked at Tong Yao and complained: “Master Jing couldn’t help me light the white flame, and I won’t say anything to him, so why did he jump to conclusions about me? Does he know me well? It’s as if he sees through me.”

In fact, if he had just pointed out her other problems, she might not have been angry, but he said that she didn’t believe in herself, which was simply nonsense.

Hua Changxi paused and asked, “Do monks like to say something profound and abstruse, and directly comment on and summarize other people’s lives?”

Tong Yao quickly explained for his friend: “Jingle definitely didn’t mean to comment on you. I know him. He always says things based on what he sees.”

“Of course, I’m not saying that what he saw is right. It’s just that we can’t always listen to the same voice. Sometimes, we have to allow different voices to enter our ears, don’t you think?”

Hua Changxi: “I agree with what you said. I am not so arrogant as to allow the world to only allow voices similar to mine to exist. What I care about is Master Jing’s confident look.”

Tong Yao smiled and nodded: “It’s true that sometimes I am a little too stubborn.”

Hua Changxi’s expression calmed down: “Fellow Daoist Tong, no matter what, I still want to thank you for accompanying me to Dixiu Temple today.”

Tong Yao smiled and said, “You are too polite.” He paused and said, “I will ask Jing about Yang Yan’s matter again. If he thinks of other ways, I will let you know.”

Hua Changxi nodded: “Thank you very much.”

Afterwards, Hua Changxi left. Tong Yao watched her go away, then turned around and went back to Dixiu Temple.

Jingle was still thinking about Hua Changxi’s failure to light the Yangyan. When he saw Tong Yao coming back, he asked, “Master Hua, are you disappointed that you didn’t light the Yangyan?”

Tong Yao shook his head: “I didn’t see that you were disappointed, but I am really angry with you.”

Jingle looked stunned: “Why is she angry with me?”

Tong Yao looked at the bewildered Jing and said unhappily, “You are making rash judgments, saying that Fellow Daoist Hua doesn’t even believe in himself. Not to mention her, even I think you are talking nonsense.”

Jingle’s face suddenly showed understanding: “So she was angry about this.” Then he smiled and said, “She was angry, which means my words still touched her. If she was really ignorant, she wouldn’t be angry because of my words.”

Tong Yao thought about it and it seemed to make sense, but he was still unsure: “But Fellow Daoist Hua obviously looks bright and carefree, how could he not be confident in himself?”

Jing was silent for a moment: “Those are just appearances. To judge a person, you have to see what kind of world she lives in. Hua Shizhu must have experienced something very sad. Her lack of confidence comes from her not believing that she will be treated well by this world. Her original heart is covered with dust, which blocks love and kindness from entering her heart.”

Tong Yao couldn’t understand this at all. How could someone reject love and kindness?

“That’s not right. Fellow Daoist Hua was willing to help me stabilize the center of the formation, help me drive out the monsters, and help me save Xia Yang and Xia Xue. Isn’t this enough to prove that she is a kind person?”

Jingle: “What I mean is that her original intention was obscured by some bad things, but her heart is still the same heart. Human nature is good. Although her heart is obscured, she will still do good to the best of her ability.”

Tong Yao: “I understand. That means Fellow Daoist Hua is still worth making friends with, right?” Jingle listened to his utilitarian words and shook his head silently, seeming to disagree.

Tong Yao saw this and was very disapproving: “Clean, if you were just an ordinary monk in the Dixiu Temple, you could be pure and not care about worldly affairs, but you are the future master of Fusheng Pavilion. If you want to manage a holy place, you have to learn to be utilitarian and weigh the pros and cons.”

“I am utilitarian, but I am utilitarian in an open and aboveboard way. I have the value that Hua Daoyou needs, and Hua Daoyou also has things that I want. We each take what we need, and no one takes advantage of the other. We cooperate with each other and develop together. What’s wrong with that?”

Jingle: “.There’s nothing wrong with it, I just feel a little sorry for you guys.”

Tong Yao was speechless: “Why are we pitiful?”

Jingle: “They only see what they need and what they want, but not the real person. They only have desires but no true feelings. Isn’t that pitiful? They both regard each other as tools to be used by themselves, cold and indifferent. Isn’t that pitiful?”

Tong Yao was silent for a moment: “Everything is for development, there is nothing we can do about it. Besides, human energy is limited, how can we be sincere to everyone?” After saying that, he quickly got up and slipped away.

If he argued with Jing Le, he would definitely be asking for trouble. It would be fine if he couldn’t win the argument, as he might end up doubting himself and feeling guilty. It would be easier for him to get along with someone like Hua Daoyou who clearly stated the prices and exchanged values.

After Hua Changxi left the Dixiu Temple, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Thinking of the spies in the No. 13 Qihuang Hall, he suddenly lost the desire to go back. He left the capital directly and flew to the Lingguang Palace.

On the red stone square of Lingguang Palace, figures burning with desire were moving towards the Transmission Palace with difficulty.

Hua Changxi took a look and went straight to the main hall, sat cross-legged in the main hall, and began to close his eyes and silently recite the Heart Cleansing Mantra.

Jingle’s words echoed in her ears. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn’t know what she was angry about. She just felt a tingling pain on the back of her hand. When she looked inward at her Dantian, she saw that the black flame on her Nascent Soul’s heart was beginning to burn.

After chanting the Heart Clearing Mantra for a long time, until it was dark, Hua Changxi’s heart finally calmed down completely and he opened his eyes with a solemn expression.

An insignificant person and a self-righteous comment actually made her waste half a day to calm down.
Hua Changxi took out the white jade lotus petals, his expression somewhat gloomy.

Without the white flame to balance the black flame on the Nascent Soul’s heart, the black flame will devour more and more of the heart. It is obviously unrealistic to rely solely on the Heart Purifying Mantra to suppress the black flame. First, the Heart Purifying Mantra takes a long time to cast, and second, the black flame spreads very quickly. At the critical moment, the Heart Purifying Mantra may not be useful.

“We still have to find a way to ignite the white flame.”

If one piece of white jade lotus petal couldn’t help her light the white flame, then she would just find a few more. She didn’t believe that she couldn’t light it.

Hua Changxi, who had no intention of returning to the Medical Bureau, went back to Wuzhi Mountain and collected a batch of third-grade spiritual medicines. He also transplanted some third-grade spiritual medicines and spiritual plants into the Sumeru mustard seed space. After returning to Lingguang Palace, he stayed in the main hall of Lingguang Palace and concentrated on refining third-grade pills.

This time when refining the elixir, she not only used her spiritual consciousness to assist, but also used the Shennong Ding for the first time.

Shennong Ding gave her a big surprise!

An ordinary alchemy furnace, no matter how good the alchemy skills are, can only refine ten elixirs at most. But the Shennong Ding can refine hundreds of elixirs in one furnace. This is because her control over spiritual power is not precise enough, and her spiritual consciousness is not used smoothly.

She could sense that if she could further refine her control over her spiritual power and consciousness, her success rate in producing pills would be even higher!
Hua Changxi was obsessed with the harvest of alchemy in Shennong Ding. She did not stop refining the elixir until the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month when the communication talisman on her waist vibrated.

“Nine Lady, Pharmacist Xu asked you to return to the Medical Department as soon as possible. Prince Shou will summon all the directors of the Qihuang Clinic tomorrow.”

Hua Changxi frowned after hearing Pu Cao’s message. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. It’s really annoying that the Prince Shou summoned people on the eve when the family is reunited.

[Third-grade Alchemist (Top-grade Alchemy): Alchemy 1501 furnace 1501/10000]
After refining pills for half a month, she harvested nearly 20,000 third-grade top-grade pills, but the number of furnaces she used to refine pills was much less than before, and she could only refine more than ten furnaces a day.

“It seems that I still have to use the ordinary alchemy furnace to upgrade. When the level is higher, I can use the Shennong Ding to make pills.”

Hua Changxi tidied up the main hall and prepared to go back to the Medical Department early the next morning. Before leaving, she turned her wrist and summoned the “Suzaku Army Roster” to take a look. The roster recorded that there were 1,500 Suzaku Army members.
