The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 269, The Holy Guard Appears

Since Hua Changxi assigned Yu Fu and the other three the task of packaging pills, for the next two months, the four of them spent their days supervising the apprentices in building Dan Yuan Peak, and their nights eagerly entering the secret realm to package the pills.

All four of them knew very well that there wouldn't be many well-paid jobs like this, so they naturally did their best to earn as many resources as possible for themselves.

Hua Changxi, on the other hand, spent her days refining pills and her nights teleporting to Lingguang Hall to cultivate. Occasionally, she would take some time to check on the recruitment of apprentices and the construction progress of Danyuan Peak. Seeing that everything was developing in the direction she expected, she didn't interfere much.

During this period, pavilions and courtyards were gradually built on Danyuan Peak.

The first building completed was the personnel department at the foot of the mountain.

After the personnel department was completed, Eunuch Yu, following Hua Changxi's instructions, led the eight apprentices from Qihuang Hall No. 13 to the summit of Danyuan Peak.

The eight people made a vow to their inner demons, which was recognized by the oath stele, and they all received identity tokens to enter and exit the Dan Yuan Secret Realm and Dan Yuan Peak.

Of the eight apprentices, excluding Pharmacist Xu, who had a personal relationship with Hua Changxi, the other seven finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease after receiving their identity tokens.

God knows how terrified they were that Hua Changxi would abandon them.

The logistics department was built shortly afterward.

The Logistics Department is in charge of the apprentices' food, clothing, housing and transportation. It involves too many matters, and its compound and buildings are several times larger than the Personnel Department. Among them, the canteen that supplies meals to the apprentices consists of three large buildings.

Since the canteen was built, the apprentices have been eating here.

Furthermore, once the logistics department is operational, apprentices will be able to choose the location to establish their cave dwellings.

Because of this matter, Yu Fu has been extremely busy lately.

By late April, the lecture hall, mission hall, and law enforcement hall had all been completed, and the mountain road had been extended to the summit.

Before the various departments put them into use, Hua Changxi exchanged one hundred bottles of top-grade third-rank pills with Yan Zhenzhen for six fourth-rank arrays, which he then deployed in each department.

Although these formations can only protect against cultivators at or below the Nascent Soul stage, they still significantly improve the safety of each department.

On the last day of April, 100,000 bottles of top-grade first-class Yuanling Pills, 100,000 bottles of other first-class and second-class pills with different effects, and a small number of third-class pills were stored in the logistics department's warehouse.

Looking at the full warehouse, Eunuch Yu smiled and said, "With these pills in the warehouse, the logistics department is finally no longer empty."

When Jia Lu, Zhou Shou, Zhao Xi, and Pharmacist Xu saw this, they were all very envious of Yu Fu for having so many resources under his control.

Of the five managers, only Pharmacist Xu was a newcomer. In order to integrate into the manager circle as soon as possible, his words involuntarily carried a tone of praising the other four while belittling himself.

“Your work is gradually getting on track, but I’m the one holding things back. In two months, I haven’t recruited many apprentices. I don’t know how to explain this to Ninth Sister and the Master.”

Yu Fu and the other three were also very concerned about the matter of recruiting apprentices. When they heard that Pharmacist Xu called Hua Changxi Jiu Niang, they all smiled and comforted him.

Yu Fu: "In the past two months, the other secret realm masters have been frantically recruiting people. They have intricate connections with the royal family and powerful figures, and the Medical Department is controlled by these powerful figures. It's not your problem that you can't recruit people."

Jia Lu: "Yes, I don't know what those secret realm masters are thinking. They've been trying for so long and still haven't been able to summon the mountain, yet they still won't give up."

Zhou Shou: "I think those secret realm masters are not only unwilling, but also probably harbor some thoughts of going against their masters."

In the eyes of other secret realm masters, their master has Dan Yuan Peak, but he can't recruit people or outstanding apprentices, while they have a large number of outstanding apprentices. In this way, they can be considered to have turned the tables.

Pharmacist Xu sighed, "The Master of the Pavilion has clearly displayed abilities surpassing those of other Secret Realm Masters, yet he is being suppressed so much. It's truly..."

Zhao Xi: "I believe this is only temporary. The conditions and treatment for recruiting disciples in the Dan Yuan Secret Realm are clearly designed to take care of ordinary cultivators without power or influence. It is intended to give all those who aspire to medical skills and alchemy an opportunity to study."

"After all, most cultivators in this world are ordinary people." "The royal family and nobles can stop it for a while, but they can't stop it forever."

Yu Fu nodded: "Manager Zhao is right. Manager Xu, don't be too anxious. I believe that our Danyuan Peak will definitely be glorious in the future."

With the first batch of spirit pills stored in the logistics department, Hua Changxi's task of refining pills for his apprentices in the Dan Yuan Secret Realm was considered complete.

According to her plan, the pills to be distributed to the apprentices in the future will be refined by the alchemists among the apprentices.

Now, she needs to seize the time to improve her alchemy skills.

The third level of the secret realm is rich in third-tier spiritual herbs, and the third-grade pill formulas provided by Shennong Cauldron can be used to refine almost all the spiritual pills mentioned above.

Hua Changxi will not be available on the third level of the secret realm for the time being. For the next period of time, she will be picking, cleaning, and processing third-tier spiritual herbs on the third level of the secret realm.

Time flew by and it was mid-May. The recruited apprentices began to enter the first level of the secret realm and started taking on tasks such as picking and cleaning spiritual herbs.

Hua Changxi would occasionally visit the first level of the secret realm to give the apprentices pointers on their harvesting skills.

Seeing that there were still very few apprentices joining the Dan Yuan Secret Realm, she wasn't too concerned.

She was waiting for Tong Yao. Once the magical artifact was finished, she believed that cultivators from other parts of the Central Continent who wanted to learn medicine and alchemy would come to join her after receiving the news.

Danyuan Peak is gradually getting back on track. With Yu Fu, Jia Lu, Zhou Shou, Zhao Xi, and Pharmacist Xu managing the affairs of the peak, Hua Changxi doesn't need to worry too much.

At the same time, with the emergence of Danyuan Peak, Shenhe Peak, Qingyao Peak, and Xuanhuang Peak, three major events occurred within the Department of Medicine.

The first thing Meng Qingyao did was, with the support of the Xia family, descend into the Nine Netherworld and recruit one hundred Holy Guards at Genmen Pass, the place where the Demon Prison was suppressed.

The emergence of the Royal Guard shocked all sides, directly breaking the royal family's absolute control over the Department of Medicine and marking the royal family's relinquishment of its position as the head of the Department of Medicine.

Since Xia Zhen guessed that Hua Changxi's repeated commotions were due to his actions promoting the development and revival of the Holy Land, he instructed Meng Qingyao to send these hundred Holy Guards to maintain order throughout the Medical Department, thereby increasing their control.

Logically, the hundred Holy Guards under Meng Qingyao's command are responsible for protecting Qingyao Peak. However, with the Holy Land now partially sealed off and its rules incomplete, these Holy Guards, who have long resided in the Nine Netherworlds, naturally hope to expand their sphere of influence now that they have the opportunity to come to the mortal realm.

Both sides had their own needs, and the hundred Holy Guards readily accepted the task of patrolling the entire Department of Medicine.

The second thing was the establishment of Qihuang Pavilion.

The main members of Qihuang Pavilion are the eighteen heads of Qihuang Hall, followed by members of the royal family represented by Prince Shou, and then the former heads of Qihuang Hall who had previously ceded their positions to Meng Qingyao and others.

The Pavilion Master is Shen Qianfan!

Among the eighteen heads of the Qihuang Hall, Hua Changxi had the worst family background, while Shen Qianfan's family background was only slightly better than Hua Changxi's. He was able to become the head of the hall entirely because of the support of the royal family.

Therefore, the royal family betrothed him to the second princess, Chu Lingluan, born to the empress.

The emergence of the Holy Guard made the royal family restless. Not wanting to lose control of the Department of Medicine, they established the Qihuang Pavilion, hoping to compete with the Lingjing Pavilion, which was supported by the Xia family.

Thirdly, with the support of the royal family, Yan Qianying also recruited one hundred Holy Guards at Zhenmen Pass, the place where the Nine Netherworld Suppresses Demon Prison, but she was almost a month behind Meng Qingyao.

The first clash between the royal family and the Xia family was over the patrol area of ​​the Holy Guard.

Finally, Meng Qingyao's hundred Holy Guards were responsible for maintaining order in the Qihuang Hall and the square, while Yan Qianying's hundred Holy Guards were responsible for maintaining order in the Nine Streets.
