The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 295, Preliminary Planning of Lingguang Hall

Tong Yao escorted Hua Changxi to the dry well. After parting ways with him, Hua Changxi did not return to the city directly, but instead rode her spirit cloud towards Nanxiang County.

"This area seems to have gotten bigger again!"

Lingguang Palace is located in the due north of Nanxiang County. In the past, Hua Changxi could reach Lingguang Palace in a short time after leaving the south gate, but now, the time spent on the journey has obviously increased.

"Southern Elephant City"

If what Tong Yao said is true, and Nanxiang City is the residence of the Vermilion Bird Emperor, then the Lingguang Palace certainly cannot remain uninvolved in the appearance of Nanxiang City.

Hua Changxi rode on a spirit cloud, carefully avoiding the Nascent Soul cultivators sent by the royal family, and slowly traversed the skies above Nanxiang County.

This time, the spatial fluctuations in some areas surrounding Nanxiang County were even more pronounced.

"Seven, eight, ninety-one."

Last time, she only detected a few spatial fluctuations, but this time the number has increased to eleven.

Moreover, in areas with fluctuating spatial energy, the fire elemental energy is even more concentrated.

Tong Yao said that blessed lands and grottoes would appear. Are these places the locations of these blessed lands and grottoes?
Thinking of this, Hua Changxi's mind stirred, and she memorized these locations before flying towards Lingguang Palace.

On the way, she discovered that the number of cultivators gathered in Nanxiang County had increased. Not only that, but there were also many demons lurking in the mountains and forests, including several demons at the Nascent Soul stage.

With cultivators and demons gathering, Nanxiang County is likely to descend into chaos.
As the spirit cloud descended, Hua Changxi stood in the square outside the main hall of Lingguang Palace.

In the square, hundreds of people were walking through the flames; on the steps outside the Transmission Hall, more than a dozen people were struggling to climb; outside the gate of the Lingguang Hall, cultivators were also arriving one after another.

Such a large number of cultivators joining at the same time can be considered a 'grand occasion'.

Compared to the magnificent palace complex, hundreds of people were still as insignificant as ants. Even with the addition of the Vermilion Bird Army who had previously entered the Lingguang Palace, the Lingguang Palace still presented a desolate and lonely scene.

There are still too few people!
Hua Changxi looked down at the deserted palace complex, her eyes flashing.

Having fewer people has its advantages; if there were too many, she would have a headache trying to manage them all.

On the Five Finger Mountain side, the initial management structure of the Five Elements Sect has been established. With An Ze managing it peacefully, the mountain spirit assisting from the side, and five demonic beasts guarding the mountain, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Now, only the Lingguang Hall is not yet on the right track.

She needs to take advantage of the fact that there aren't too many Vermilion Bird troops yet and quickly finalize the management structure. Even if it's not very standardized, it's still better than the previous laissez-faire approach.

Hua Changxi turned and entered the main hall, took out pen and ink, and began to write a planning proposal. After some revisions, she drafted a preliminary plan.

The various departments of Lingguang Hall are: Transmission Hall (Personnel Department), Logistics Department (Alchemy Storehouse, Talisman Storehouse, Formation Storehouse, Armory), Mission Hall, Merit Hall, Discipline Hall, Martial Arts Hall, and Training Hall.

Positions in each department: miscellaneous servant → steward (formal staff) → manager → hall master.

The promotion path of the Vermilion Bird Army is as follows: Ordinary Guard → Squad Leader → Centurion → Thousand-Man Commander → Ten-Thousand-Man Commander → Garrison Commander → Assistant General → General.

Appointments to positions below the rank of commander are jointly determined based on cultivation level, merit points, and criminal records from the Discipline Hall.

Hua Changxi reviewed the plan several times and, after confirming that the general direction was correct, posted it directly on the spirit screen in the mission hall.

Next, they took out the "List of Soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Army".

Hua Changxi flipped through the list of nearly seven thousand Vermilion Bird soldiers. Those who were recognized by the Transmission Stone and taught the Vermilion Bird Divine Technique were undoubtedly talented, but their character was another matter.

Now that she has released the management structure of Lingguang Hall, ambitious people will naturally work hard to cultivate, complete tasks, and strive for the positions they desire.

Using these methods to screen talent is the most efficient way she can think of.

However, other departments can delay assigning personnel, but the Hall of Merit cannot; someone must record the merit points of the Vermilion Bird Army after completing their missions.

Hua Changxi looked at the "Vermilion Bird Army Roster" and, after some thought, focused her gaze on Su Yu's name. Apart from Yun You, the manager of the pill storehouse, this person currently had the highest talent.

Let's put this guy in charge of the Hall of Merit first, and we'll talk about the rest later.

Su Yu was focused on his cultivation in the training room when he suddenly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy in the room. When he opened his eyes, he saw a key floating in mid-air.

Then, the spiritual energy in the air surged and twisted, revealing two lines of text.

"From this day forward, Su Yu will be the steward of the Hall of Merit, responsible for recording the merit points of the Vermilion Bird Army."

"Investigating the strange phenomena in Nanxiang County, one useful and effective piece of information, ten merit points."

Looking at the key and the words formed by spiritual energy, Su Yu was momentarily stunned. After a moment, he quickly stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed towards the main hall: "Su Yu obeys the order and will certainly live up to the hall master's expectations."

As the words fell, the writing in the air vanished, and the key landed in Su Yu's hand.

After confirming the manager of the Hall of Merit, Hua Changxi, seeing that it was already dark, teleported back to the Dan Yuan Secret Realm. Afterwards, she ate some spiritual fruits in the secret realm and began refining third-grade pills to continue upgrading her alchemist rank.

Meanwhile, at Lingguang Palace, everyone gradually discovered the content posted by Hua Changxi, which instantly caused a huge uproar.

"Why would the Temple Master suddenly release these information?"

"It must be because of the upheaval in Nanxiang County."

"Everyone, apart from the medicine storehouse which has one manager, the other departments don't even have any odd jobs. This is our opportunity."

"There are also military positions. The Palace Master never mentioned them before, but now we have a direction to move forward."

The cultivators who remained in Lingguang Hall all had a burning desire in their eyes, and a few even showed a determined look on their faces.

Everyone knew they needed to work hard on their mission.

On the first day of the ninth month, Hua Changxi came out of the secret realm and handed a storage bag full of pills to Yu Fu, asking him to take it to the Northern Garrison Command and give it to Xue Xian.

Yu Fu took the storage bag and left, returning shortly afterward to report back.

"Master, while I was in the Northern Garrison, I also encountered people from the Weapon Saint Palace, the Talisman Saint Pavilion, and the Array Saint Sect. On my way back, I also saw the Demon Suppression Army on patrol."

After hearing this, Hua Changxi nodded. With the five holy lands cooperating so actively, he hoped that the arrival of cultivators from various regions in the capital would not cause any unrest.

“Cultivators from all over the country should be arriving in the capital soon. Go and tell Pharmacist Xu to prepare for recruiting apprentices.”

Hua Changxi watched Yu Fu leave, then turned and entered the Dan Yuan Secret Realm.

The first level of the secret realm was now quite different. New spiritual herbs had been planted in the southeast and southwest areas, while in the northeast area, a large number of apprentices were harvesting spiritual herbs and cultivating medicinal fields in full swing.

"Ok?"

Hua Changxi originally planned to take a quick look around and then return to the third level of the secret realm to continue refining pills, but when she noticed Hua Sanlang chatting and laughing with a female cultivator, she immediately stopped in her tracks.

"Jia Lu, come here for a moment."

Hua Changxi sent a message directly to Jia Lu, who was in charge of patrolling.

Soon, Jia Lu rushed over in a hurry.

Hua Changxi looked in Hua Sanlang's direction: "What's going on between my third brother and Zhu Qinghuan?"

All the stewards were keeping a close eye on Hua Changxi's elder brother. Jia Lu immediately said, "Sanlang was once burned by a spiritual herb while picking it. It was Zhu Qinghuan who helped him detoxify."

"After that, Sanlang often went to Zhu Qinghuan to ask questions, and the two became acquainted over time."

Hua Changxi: "Was it my third brother who took the initiative to approach Zhu Qinghuan?"

Jia Lu nodded affirmatively: "Yes." After a pause, knowing what Hua Changxi was worried about, he added, "After entering the secret realm, Zhu Qinghuan has been very well-behaved and hasn't made many friends."

After hearing this, Hua Changxi looked again at Hua Sanlang and Zhu Qinghuan, who were still laughing and talking. She noticed that Zhu Qinghuan was indeed keeping her distance from Hua Sanlang, while her third brother seemed to be more proactive and enthusiastic.

"Has anyone contacted my third brother during this period?"

Jia Lu nodded: "Everyone knows he is your elder brother. People in the secret realm want to get close to him, and many people often fawn over him. However, nothing seems out of the ordinary."

Hua Changxi felt somewhat helpless after hearing this, which was the main reason why she didn't want to involve her family in her work.

Whether she likes it or not, her family will be affected because of her.

However, not everyone can withstand these consequences. The temptations one faces from being ignored to being the center of attention are unimaginable, and she really didn't want to test human nature.

"Keep an eye on my third brother and the Hua clan. If they make a mistake, don't tolerate it."

Jia Lu: "Yes."

Hua Changxi then asked, "By the way, what about Chu Junhao? How is he?"

Jia Lu: "The Seventh Prince likes to move around, but he always completes the tasks assigned to him diligently."

Hua Changxi looked over and said, "There is only Chu Junhao in the secret realm, no princes."

Jia Lu's expression changed, and he quickly said that he had remembered it.

Hua Changxi glanced again in the direction of Hua Sanlang and Zhu Qinghuan, then turned and headed to the third level of the secret realm.
