The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 264, Not Enough Time
After giving all the instructions, Hua Changxi returned to the alchemy room, then activated the Divine Wood Leaf in his dantian and flashed into the Dan Yuan Secret Realm.

This time, leading people to swear an oath to enter the Dan Yuan Secret Realm truly surprised and delighted her.

To everyone's surprise, the Immortal Tree appeared in a flash.

To her delight, she not only became the peak master of Danyuan Peak, but also obtained a sacred pill and a newly sprouted branch of the Immortal Divine Tree.

Hua Changxi felt extremely happy as he sensed the firewood branch in his dantian and the sacred pill in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Aside from these unexpected gains, the commotion today is enough to break the boycott against her launched by Prince Shou and others.

Right now, there must be many people within the Department of Medicine who want to join the Dan Yuan Secret Realm.

Time inside the secret realm is the same as outside. Seeing that it was already dark, and thinking that she still had to recruit several hundred retired Demon Suppression Army soldiers tomorrow, Hua Changxi decided not to return to Lingguang Palace to cultivate tonight.

Hua Changxi quickly took out the remaining nine thousand identity tokens and began to brand the character 'Yuan' onto them one by one.

Two hours later, all the identity tokens had been branded.

With more than three hours to go before dawn, Hua Changxi pondered for a moment and prepared to refine pills.

[Rank 3 Alchemist (Top-Grade Pill): 1508 batches of pills refined (1508/10000)]
Seeing that her alchemy grade had not improved, Hua Changxi was also somewhat helpless. Since the beginning of the year, she had been busy and had no time to refine pills.

"Once the apprentice recruitment is settled, we need to quickly upgrade our alchemy level."

Now, she needs to hurry up and refine a batch of first-grade elixirs that she promised to distribute to her apprentices.

There are many mature Grade One spiritual herbs on the first level of the secret realm, and Hua Changxi began to pick Yuanling grass to refine Grade One Yuanling Pills.

Instead of directly taking action, she manipulated her spiritual power to harvest the herbs. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, she harvested them very quickly, and by dawn she had harvested tens of thousands of Grade One Yuanling Grasses.

Each level of the Dan Yuan Secret Realm has two spiritual rivers, one running from north to south and the other from east to west.

Hua Changxi looked at the mountain-like pile of spiritual herbs in front of her and felt a headache coming on; there wasn't enough time.

Although she recruited dozens of apprentices yesterday, they are going to clear a path on Danyuan Peak today, so she will have to clean and process these spiritual herbs all by herself.

"We need to train a group of apprentices quickly."

Otherwise, if she had to do everything by herself, she would be exhausted.

Seeing that it was already bright, Hua Changxi slipped out of the secret realm. As soon as she stepped out of the alchemy room, she saw that Pharmacist Xu and the others were already waiting in the Qihuang Hall.

"Have all the resumes of the retired Demon Suppression Army soldiers been filled out?"

Pharmacist Xu stepped forward and replied, "It's all filled out."

Hua Changxi nodded: "Alright, everyone will go up Danyuan Peak together later." She paused, then asked, "Where are Eunuch Yu and the others?"

Pharmacist Xu: "Manager Yu has already taken the apprentices recruited yesterday to Danyuan Peak to get busy."

Hua Changxi was very satisfied with her father-in-law's enthusiasm after hearing this, and looked at Pharmacist Xu: "Uncle Xu, from now on you will be in charge of recruiting apprentices for the secret realm."

Upon hearing this, Pharmacist Xu's face lit up with joy: "Ninth Sister, don't worry, I will definitely do my job well."

Seeing that Hua Shuran and the others were looking at him expectantly, Hua Changxi continued, "From now on, the seven of you will work under Steward Xu and follow his orders."

Upon hearing this, Hua Shuran and the other six looked gloomy.

Hua Changxi ignored them and led several hundred retired Demon Suppression Army soldiers away from the Thirteenth Qihuang Hall. Watching their departing figures, Hua Shuran, Hua Wanyue, He Siqi, and He Sirong exchanged helpless glances, their eyes filled with regret.

They never expected that Hua Changxi would turn the tide so quickly.

Yesterday, everyone avoided her like the plague, but now they want to curry favor with her, but she's no longer worthy of Hua Changxi's attention.

Looking at Pharmacist Xu, whose joy was evident, Zhu Yu suddenly asked, "Manager Xu, the academy master didn't make the eight of us go to Dan Yuan Peak to swear an oath, so are we considered people of the Dan Yuan Secret Realm?"

Pharmacist Xu paused, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

Zhou Bin: "Qihuang Hall is Qihuang Hall, and the Secret Realm is the Secret Realm. Perhaps in the master's heart, we are just medicine apprentices of Qihuang Hall No. 13."

Zhu Yu looked at Pharmacist Xu: "Manager Xu, the master values ​​you. Could you ask him about it?"

Pharmacist Xu knew that Hua Changxi resented them, the apprentice doctors, and that Zhu Yu and the others were planted by other forces. He also knew that Hua Changxi had arranged for him to be the manager because of their past relationship.

He didn't want to waste his relationship with Hua Changxi on the sake of Zhu Yu and the others, so he smiled and said vaguely, "If I have the chance, I'll ask the Master."

Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Pharmacist Xu continued, "If we do what the Master has instructed us to do well, I believe she will approve of us. If we can't even complete the tasks assigned to us, then we really won't have a chance to stay by the Master's side."

Just then, the communication talisman on Hua Shuran's waist activated, and she quickly walked towards Pharmacist Xu: "Manager Xu, members of the Hua clan are coming to register, including the headmaster's brother."

Pharmacist Xu immediately smiled and said, "The master has instructed that everyone can come and sign up. Go and greet them."

Hua Shuran thanked her and then led Hua Wanyue out of the No. 13 Qihuang Hall.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Pharmacist Xu shook his head. The Hua clan members didn't stand up for Hua Changxi immediately, so they probably wouldn't get away with it.

On the other side, Hua Changxi did not directly ride the cloud to lead hundreds of retired demon-suppressing soldiers to Danyuan Peak. Instead, he led them on foot through the square before riding the cloud to the summit of Danyuan Peak.

When others noticed this, they all stared at it intently.

On the second floor of Lingjing Pavilion, Meng Yuchuan watched Hua Changxi and his entourage swagger across the square and immediately snorted, "This Hua Changxi really doesn't miss any opportunity to show off."

In the room, besides Meng Qingyao, there were also the brothers Dongfang Hao and Dongfang Xu.

Dongfang Hao: "Perhaps she doesn't want to show off."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yuchuan immediately became unhappy: "Brother Hao, why do you always speak up for Hua Changxi?"

Dongfang Hao showed no change in expression at Meng Yuchuan's words: "I was just stating the facts."

Meng Qingyao spoke up: "Brother Hao, have you discovered something?"

Dongfang Hao: "I once read in an ancient book that squares with altars were off-limits to flying."

Meng Yuchuan's expression stiffened, then he said coldly, "This Hua Changxi is too insidious. Since she knew that flying was prohibited in the square, why didn't she tell everyone?"

Seeing Meng Yuchuan like this, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his temples.

Dongfang Xu couldn't hold back any longer and sneered, "Hua Changxi said it, do you think you'd listen? I bet you'll have something else to say about Hua Changxi by then."

Meng Yuchuan's face turned ugly: "You..."

Seeing that they were about to start arguing, Meng Qingyao quickly stopped them and looked at Dongfang Hao: "I want to follow Hua Changxi's example and erect a vow monument to recruit apprentices."

Dongfang Hao agreed, and seeing that Meng Qingyao looked somewhat dejected, he comforted her, "In cultivation, what we pursue is longevity and long-term progress; occasional gains and losses are nothing."
