The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 270, Within Reason, Yet Unexpected
When Hua Changxi learned that the royal family supported Shen Qianfan in establishing the Qihuang Hall, she didn't react much. However, she was quite surprised when Meng Qingyao and Yan Qianying recruited a hundred Guardians of the Holy Guard after receiving the Holy Protection Order.

After hearing that these Holy Guards had been dispatched to maintain order in the Department of Medicine, Hua Changxi left Danyuan Peak and took a stroll around the Department of Medicine.

With the Holy Guard patrolling, the Department of Medicine was indeed much more orderly. At least, no one was flying around the square anymore.

But can the Holy Guards protecting the mountain peaks be transferred to different posts at will?

The two Guardian Tokens she received clearly stated that they were for protecting the plaza and Dan Yuan Peak.

Meng Qingyao and Yan Qianying both used their Guardian Tokens, but Gu Xing remained silent. Hua Changxi thought for a moment and then walked to the old courtyard in the square.

In the old courtyard, Gu Xing lay on the recliner as usual, pretending to be asleep. Even when he knew Hua Changxi had arrived, he didn't even blink.

Hua Changxi wanted to probe Gu Xing's opinion: "Senior Gu, what do you think about the Holy Guards protecting Qingyao Peak and Xuanhuang Peak interfering with the maintenance of order in other places by not following the rules?"

Gu Xing opened his eyes: "Use your eyes to see."

Upon hearing this, Hua Changxi's lips twitched: "Senior Gu is getting more and more humorous."

Gu Xing shook his head and closed his eyes again: "These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth."

Hua Changxi was silent for a moment: "Recruiting apprentices in the Dan Yuan Secret Realm before was my own business, and I can understand if you don't care."

"But the Holy Guards are responsible for maintaining the order of the Holy Land. Are you just going to sit idly by and do nothing?"

Gu Xing sighed, looking helpless: "Meng Qingyao has the support of a protective family, and Yan Qianying has the support of the royal family. How can I possibly control them?"

Hua Changxi was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this: "So, you, the gatekeeper of this holy land, are really only good at guarding the gate?"

Gu Xing remained silent.

Hua Changxi thought for a moment and then said, "You also have the Saint Protection Token. You should also go down to the Nine Netherworld and recruit some Saint Protection Guards. This way, you can also restrain Meng Qingyao and Yan Qianying."

Gu Xing looked at her: "Why don't you go down to the Nine Netherworlds to recruit Holy Guards?"

Hua Changxi: "I am not familiar with the Nine Netherworlds, nor do I know anything about the Nine Passes."

Gu Xing said with a blank face, "What a coincidence, it's me too."

Upon hearing this, Hua Changxi made no attempt to hide her disdain.

Upon seeing this, Gu Xing's eyelids twitched: "The Gu family is small, unlike the guardian families and the royal family, who can send people down to the Nine Netherworlds to make arrangements in advance." As he spoke, he looked at Hua Changxi.

"I can't control this, but you have a chance."

Hua Changxi knew he was referring to the fact that she had the most Guardian Tokens, so she didn't respond. She noticed that Gu Xing didn't seem to care much about the Guardian Guards.

"Senior doesn't seem worried at all about the Holy Guards disrupting the order of the Holy Land?"

Gu Xing sighed, "There's no use worrying about things you can't control." Then he looked at Hua Changxi and said, "I see you're not really taking it to heart either."

You should know that this girl was the first to receive the Protectorate Token.

Hua Changxi: "I am only responsible for the Dan Yuan Secret Realm and Dan Yuan Peak." He paused, "and add the Qihuang Hall as well."

Gu Xingmu corrected him with a blank face: "It's not one Qihuang Hall, it's ten. You must have forgotten that you took ten Qihuang Tokens."

"The Qihuang Decree?"

Hua Changxi suddenly realized that the wooden plaque was called the Qihuang Order.

She did want to take responsibility for the ten traditional Chinese medicine clinics, but she lost the medicine token!

Gu Xing was silent for a moment: "If you really don't understand the Nine Passes, you can cooperate with the Heavenly Department. As far as I know, the Demon Suppression Army has already infiltrated the Nine Passes."

Upon hearing this, Hua Changxi looked surprised and sized up Gu Xing: "You've cooperated with the Heavenly Department?"

Gu Xing did not deny it. Although he did not want to get involved in the conflict between the royal family and the guardian families, he had the Guardian Order in his hands, so he naturally had to use it.

The more guardians there are, the better it will be for the further revival of the Holy Land.

Cooperating with the Heavenly Department—no, to be precise, it should be cooperating with the Central Holy Land.

Wei Zhenjie kept it a secret very well; he only recently learned that Wei Zhenjie was actually a descendant of the Central Holy Land. The Demon Suppression Army's establishment, development, and growth were all secretly promoted and facilitated by the descendants of the Central Holy Land.

The Demon Suppression Army has almost completely taken control of the area near the gate, and the people of the Central Holy Land have also made arrangements for the other eight passes.

With the support of the Central Holy Land, it shouldn't be long before the Department of Medicine gains another hundred Holy Guards.

Gu Xing looked at Hua Changxi seriously: "Think it over carefully."

Hua Changxi said directly, "This is not something I need to consider. I don't like playing games of transferring benefits and exchanging power. When I recruit Holy Guards, I only look at their contributions in guarding the Demon Prison."

Hearing this, Gu Xing was stunned. By the time he came to his senses, Hua Changxi had already left the old courtyard.

"Hey"

Gu Xing's expression was complicated. Meng Qingyao and Yan Qianying's choices were reasonable, but Hua Changxi's actions were always unexpected.

He really disagreed with Hua Changxi's solo approach and always wanted to use his experience to correct some of her behaviors.

His contribution to the revival of the Holy Land was remarkable, and no one could match it.

'The recruitment of Holy Guards is based solely on their contributions in guarding the Demon Prison.'
Gu Xing suddenly realized that his understanding of Hua Changxi was too superficial. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Hua Changxi's solo efforts had significant drawbacks, but it was precisely because of her simple stance and selfless nature that she was able to drive the Dan Sheng Temple to recover before other holy lands.

Let that girl do whatever she wants!

Collaborating with others may indeed offer shortcuts and reduce trouble, but it means missing out on the experience of starting from scratch and gradually accumulating experience step by step.

Everyone faces obstacles, and everyone has opportunities.

He really shouldn't interfere too much in other people's lives, especially not impose his ideas on them.

A team of ten guards passed by outside the old courtyard. Gu Xing glanced at them and then closed his eyes.

Hua Changxi was wrong. He wasn't indifferent to the Holy Guards; he was just indifferent to Meng and Yan's misuse of the Holy Guards.

In the operation of the Holy Land's laws and regulations, the Guardians of the Holy Land are merely executors, only participating in the maintenance of the most basic public order.

In ancient times, above the Guardian of the Holy Guard was the Hall of Law Enforcement, which had the power to enforce the law. Above the Hall of Law Enforcement was the Hall of Elders, which was responsible for judgment.

Let alone the current situation, there are only two hundred Holy Guards. Even two thousand wouldn't be a problem. Once the Hall of Law Enforcement appears, a single order will allow them to return to their respective positions.

Let the royal family and the guardian families cause trouble now. Wei Zhenjie is right. With their meddling, the deeply entrenched Medical Bureau will loosen up, making it easier for new talents to emerge and for the Holy Land to recover.

The appearance of the Holy Guard and the establishment of the Qihuang Pavilion did not disrupt Hua Changxi's rhythm.

In her view, it was other people's business to fight for power and profit; she only needed to manage Dan Yuan Peak and Dan Yuan Secret Realm.

As apprentices gradually entered the first level of the Dan Yuan Secret Realm, the number of first-tier spiritual herbs they could collect increased.

There aren't that many things to be careful about when harvesting medicinal herbs, but processing them involves professional processing techniques.

Starting on May 20th, Hua Changxi began to teach his apprentices in batches how to prepare first-grade spiritual medicines.

Once the first batch of apprentices learned how to process medicinal herbs, all the apprentices were divided into three groups: one group picked and cleaned the medicinal herbs, one group attended classes, and one group processed the medicinal herbs.

Three groups of apprentices took turns picking medicinal herbs, attending classes, and processing them. Through this cycle, the medicinal fields on the first level of the Dan Yuan Secret Realm were visibly emptied out.

During this period, Hua Changxi selected some apprentices who were talented in processing spiritual medicines and assigned them to organize class notes. By early June, they had compiled the "Complete Guide to Processing First-Grade Spiritual Medicines".

After that, everyone on Danyuan Peak had a copy of "The Complete Book of First-Grade Spiritual Plants" and "The Complete Book of First-Grade Spiritual Medicine Processing".

Hua Changxi had promised that anyone who wanted the "Complete Collection of First-Class Spiritual Plants" could go to the Qihuang Hall at No. 13 to copy and make rubbings.

Since Pharmacist Xu and others moved to the personnel department of Danyuan Peak, Qihuang Hall No. 13 has been filled with people copying "The Complete Book of First-Class Spiritual Plants" every day.

Now that people know that Hua Changxi has compiled "The Complete Guide to Processing First-Class Elixir", countless people want to copy and make rubbings of it.

Unfortunately, due to the oath of inner demons, no one on Danyuan Peak dared to divulge the contents of "The Complete Guide to Processing First-Grade Spiritual Medicines".

Under these circumstances, the group approached Qihuang Pavilion and Lingjing Pavilion, hoping that Shen Qianfan and Meng Qingyao would intervene and persuade Hua Changxi to allow them to copy and reproduce "The Complete Guide to Processing First-Grade Spiritual Medicines".
