The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 268, Rebirth

Inside the Dan Yuan Secret Realm, Hua Changxi was intently controlling the Shennong Cauldron to refine pills.

The Shennong Cauldron has a large internal space. As long as the alchemy technique is up to par and with the assistance of divine sense, one can produce 10,000 first-grade pills in a single batch.

Now, Hua Changxi can refine top-grade third-rank pills. Using the Shennong Cauldron to refine first-rank pills, even in large quantities, the quality of the pills can be guaranteed.

Before refining the pills, she hesitated whether to give the apprentices lower-grade pills or top-grade pills directly.
After careful consideration, she felt there was no need to hide her actions like this. Wasn't her hard work in cultivation precisely so that she could do whatever she wanted?

Medicine and alchemy are her proudest skills. If she can't be herself in these areas, then it would be too boring.

Moreover, the stronger she demonstrates her abilities, the more it will help to unite the apprentices.

In this way, a day passed, and Hua Changxi refined a total of six batches of top-grade first-class Yuanling Pills.

The elixir is now refined; all that's left is to bottle it.

Sixty thousand Yuanling Pills, ten pills per bottle, would require filling six thousand bottles.

Packing so many pills was a real headache for Hua Changxi. It was already evening, and she didn't want to waste time on this and delay her cultivation. After thinking for a moment, she left the secret realm.

As soon as she left the secret realm, Hua Changxi sent a message to Eunuch Yu and the other three, asking them to come to the mountaintop to meet her so that she could collect the pills.

During this time, she hesitated for a moment about whether to invite Hanazawa, but after thinking it over, she gave up the idea.

She took out so many pills at once; although they were all first-grade pills, they were all top-grade pills. If this news got out, it would definitely bring her some trouble.

The four eunuchs, including Eunuch Yu, were sold into the palace and had no blood relatives left. They were surrounded by "friends" who were bound by mutual interests.

In order to gain her trust, they would not tell her friends about her affairs.

But she wasn't sure about her third brother, Hua Sanlang.

She wasn't sure if Hua Sanlang would tell the Hua family about her situation. She was certain that once the Hua family knew she could produce so many pills, they would use the excuse of family ties to get her to help them.

It is only natural for family members to help each other, but the premise is that she is willing and takes the initiative, rather than being forced by her family in the name of righteousness.

While Hua Changxi was with her father-in-law and the other three, she noticed that only three mountain peaks had appeared next to Danyuan Peak.

"Only three realm masters summoned the mountain today?" She thought all the realm masters would summon it together.

Before long, the four of them, including Eunuch Yu, arrived at the mountain peak.

Hua Changxi then asked, "Are there only three Secret Realm Masters summoning the mountain peaks today?"

Eunuch Yu replied, "No, all the secret realm masters have been summoned."

Next, the four of them, including Eunuch Yu, explained in detail the situation of the Lord of the Mysterious Realm summoning the mountain.

After hearing this, Hua Changxi realized that only Gu Xing, Mu Qingyao, and Yan Qianying had managed to summon the mountain; everyone else had failed.

"How could it have failed?"

Not only was Hua Changxi puzzled, but everyone else was also extremely confused.

Eunuch Jia: "Most of the dungeon masters can't accept the failure of the summoning, and they're all planning to try again tomorrow."

Hua Changxi asked, "Continue with what?"

Eunuch Jia: "Continue to lead people to make the Heart Demon Oath. Some secret realm masters think that it may be because they have recruited too few apprentices, which is why they are unable to summon the mountain."

Hua Changxi shook her head. She felt that this shouldn't be the reason. After all, when Dan Yuanfeng appeared, only one person had made a vow against inner demons.

The appearance of the mountain peaks is probably not related to the number of people recruited.

Eunuch Yu looked at Hua Changxi with some worry on his face: "Master, other secret realm masters are recruiting people with great effort, so even fewer people are coming to us to sign up."

Originally, Prince Shou and other powerful figures were resisting their master's recruitment of apprentices. Even after Dan Yuan Peak appeared, many people were tempted, but due to the power of the royal family and the nobles, most people were still observing.

Aside from the Hua clan members, only a dozen or so "lone wolves" came to register today. These people had no family and were not afraid of retaliation from the royal family and powerful figures. Those with families were not so decisive and straightforward.

Now, other realm masters are scrambling to recruit people to summon their peaks. Given their power and influence, it will likely be even more difficult for Dan Yuan Peak to recruit anyone.

Eunuch Zhou added, "Although the resources provided by other secret realm masters are not as abundant as those offered by our master, they will provide their apprentices with cultivation techniques."

Although everyone craves resources, no amount of resources is useful if one hasn't even embarked on the path of cultivation. Cultivation techniques are the key to unlocking the path of cultivation, so this condition is very appealing.

Hua Changxi smiled after hearing this: "That's good. In the past, those powerful and noble families would keep their cultivation techniques tightly under their control, only allowing their own family members to practice them. Now they've finally decided to share them."

“It would be better if there were more of these kinds of things. In this way, more cultivators will emerge, and the development of medicine and alchemy will be further promoted.” When the four eunuchs heard her say this and saw that she didn’t seem to care, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Master, isn't that a bit too noble?
Hua Changxi added, "I suspect that not every secret realm can summon a mountain. The other secret realm masters are probably just wasting their time. We don't need to pay too much attention to them. The important thing is to focus on building Dan Yuan Peak."

After hearing this, the four men, including Eunuch Yu, all agreed.

Hua Changxi: "Alright, the four of you, come with me into the secret realm. I have a task for you."

A moment later, the five appeared on the first level of the Dan Yuan Secret Realm.

The four men, including Eunuch Yu, were stunned as they looked at the tens of thousands of top-grade first-rank Yuanling Pills stored in the bamboo tube in front of them.

Once upon a time, obtaining even a single elixir was extremely difficult for them, but now, tens of thousands of elixirs were simply placed right in front of them.

The bamboo tube used to hold the elixir appears to be fourth-grade green jade bamboo, a material used to refine many fourth-grade magic artifacts. Now it's being used as a wooden bucket.

Eunuch Yu swallowed hard and looked at Hua Changxi: "Master, where did these pills come from?"

Hua Changxi didn't respond. With a flick of her wrist, she took out six thousand pill bottles from her Sumeru Mustard Seed: "The task I'm giving you is to pack these pills into bottles. For every hundred pills you pack, you'll receive one pill as payment."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the four men, including Eunuch Yu, immediately lit up.

"Don't worry, Master, we will bottle all the pills tonight."

Hua Changxi hummed in agreement: "Alright then, you guys get back to work."

Seeing that Hua Changxi was about to leave, the three eunuchs quickly gave Eunuch Yu a wink.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Yu steeled his resolve and called out to Hua Changxi, "Master."

Hua Changxi stopped: "Is there anything else?"

Eunuch Yu bowed deeply and said, "The four of us would like to ask our master to name us."

The three eunuchs, Jia and his companion, also bowed and said, "Please bestow a name upon us, Master."

Although Hua Changxi didn't say where these Yuanling Pills came from, the four of them guessed that they were most likely made by Hua Changxi.

Being able to work with such an amazing person, all four of them wanted to further strengthen their relationship with Hua Changxi.

They knew nothing else, so they could only follow what they had learned in the palace: ask Hua Changxi to bestow a name upon them. In the palace, only servants who had been given a name by their master were considered one of their own.

Hua Changxi looked surprised: "You want to change your name?"

The four of them nodded at the same time.

Hua Changxi: "Then you guys can change it yourselves?"

Eunuch Yu's expression turned urgent: "Master, we are where we are today because of you. You are our second parents, and it is only right that you should name us."

The three eunuchs, Jia and his companion, quickly replied, "We beg our master to bestow a name upon us."

Hua Changxi was both surprised and speechless: "Don't talk about being reborn parents anymore. My relationship with you is one of cooperation and mutual benefit. If you want to change your names, just choose them yourselves."

Eunuch Yu quickly said, "Master, we misspoke. We just wanted to say goodbye to the past. You gave us a chance to start anew, so we wanted to ask you to help us choose a name as a memento."

The three eunuchs, Jia and his companion, said, "That's right, that's exactly what we think."

Hua Changxi looked at the four people and saw that they all looked eager. Her lips twitched and she said, "I'm terrible at naming things. If you insist that I name them, then let's choose one of the four characters: Fu, Lu, Shou, Xi (福禄寿喜).

Eunuch Yu: "Thank you for bestowing a name upon me, Master. I shall be called Yu Fu."

Eunuch Jia: "My name is Jia Lu."

Eunuch Zhou: "My name is Zhou Shou."

Eunuch Zhao: "My name is Zhao Xi."

Hua Changxi looked at the four people with joyful faces and said, "Whatever makes you happy." Then, she walked away, not quite understanding.

Watching her leave, the four men, including Eunuch Yu, who had been given a new name, all wore expressions of joy, as if they had been reborn.

"From now on, the four of us will no longer be lowly eunuchs in the palace; we will be the managers of the Dan Yuan Secret Realm."
