The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 297, Attracting Talent

The various secret realm masters were somewhat apprehensive about competing with Dan Yuan Peak for talent, especially when Hua Changxi first appeared at the entrance of the Medicine Department, watching them recruit apprentices with an expressionless face. Many secret realm masters felt as embarrassed as if they had been caught stealing.

Fortunately, Hua Changxi only came once and never appeared again.

After a few days of recruiting apprentices, and after each secret realm master had recruited some outstanding talents, the slight unease in their hearts disappeared.

During this time, Dan Yuan Peak remained quiet. Just when all the secret realm masters thought that Hua Changxi would suffer in silence, the people of Dan Yuan Peak came to Ling Jing Pavilion.

Therefore, Pavilion Master Meng Qingyao convened another meeting of the secret realm's main leaders.

In the council hall of the Spirit Realm Pavilion, the masters of the secret realms arrived one after another. Each person who entered would look at the person sitting in the first position to the right of the main seat.

"Who put you, a mere apprentice, sitting there?"

Xia Ziyang was the first to make a move. The seat is not just a place to sit; it also represents the identity, status, and prestige of the person sitting there.

During meetings, the Sixteenth Elder would always sit in the first seat on the left, leaving the seat on the right empty as a sign of respect.

The people from Danyuan Peak immediately sat opposite Xia Zhen's seat. Although Xia Zhen hadn't come today, the cultivators from the guardian families were quite unhappy.

Wan Feng remained calm and smiled as he said, "Although I am an apprentice, I represent Dan Yuan Peak and Dan Yuan Secret Realm."

Xia Ziyang frowned: "Even if you represent Danyuan Peak, you are not qualified to sit there."

Wan Feng laughed: "In terms of contributions to the Dan Sheng Hall, is there anyone here who can compare to my Peak Master?" With that, he ignored Xia Ziyang and looked at Meng Qingyao with a smile.

"Sect Master, does the Spirit Realm Pavilion value personal relationships more than contributions?"

Upon hearing this, many people's eyelids twitched, thinking to themselves, "As expected of someone under Hua Changxi, they speak with the same toughness and ruthlessness."

Meng Qingyao looked at Wan Feng, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

The people who are useful to Hua Changxi have long been thoroughly investigated by all parties. This Wan Feng has never been noticed by any party before.

There's no other reason than that this person was just a pharmacy apprentice assigned to the No. 13 Qihuang Hall by the Department of Medicine, and he was the kind of person with no connections or background.

But his performance today was quite unexpected.

Where does an unknown person get the confidence and aura in front of these secret realm masters?
Was it given to me by Hua Changxi?
“The Spirit Realm Pavilion naturally prioritizes contributions to the Holy Land, and Hua Changxi is undoubtedly the leader of all the secret realm masters.”

These words seemed to be an affirmation of Hua Changxi, but when he heard the undisguised snorts and sneers from the other secret realm masters, Wan Feng smiled and said again, "Sect Master, you flatter me."

"There are only eighteen sacred realms open so far. It's too early to talk about the top realm master at this time."

"I know the Pavilion Master values ​​my Peak Master, but you shouldn't put her in such a precarious position."

"You see, many people are not convinced."

Meng Qingyao: "."

Other realm masters: "."

Seeing Wan Feng, who was just as reckless as Hua Changxi in caring about people's lives, Mu Qingying wanted to laugh, but worried that she wouldn't be able to control her facial expression, so she quickly lowered her head.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Wan Feng stood up with a smile and took out the 'expenses' Hua Changxi incurred in purchasing the display artifact, as well as the resource bills submitted to the imperial court due to the 'entry of cultivators into the capital'.

Wan Feng first gave a copy to Meng Qingyao, and then distributed them to all the secret realm masters one by one.

"I forgot to congratulate all the secret realm masters. You must have recruited quite a few outstanding disciples these days."

"The matter of cultivators from various places coming to the capital was promoted by my peak master together with other holy lands. What you are holding is the 'expenses' she paid in advance."

"Since you have all benefited, you should all share the expenses."

Looking at the bill in their hands, all the secret realm masters knew Wan Feng's purpose: he had come to ask them for resources.

Xia Ziyang, having just been humiliated, sneered, "What if we're unwilling?" Wan Feng's smile remained unchanged, but his gaze turned cold as he looked at the silent crowd: "The Divine Tree bestowed this secret realm; what do you all think it means?"

“I know that some people think that because they control the secret realm, it belongs to them.”

"But here, I'm going to do something annoying and shatter everyone's illusions."

"The divine tree bestowed this secret realm as an opportunity for you to allocate its resources for the construction and development of the holy land."

Wan Feng looked around at the masters of the various secret realms and said, "Except for Dan Yuan Peak, the masters of the other secret realms may all be replaced."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

Meng Qingyao's eyes flashed at Wan Feng: "You're just an apprentice, yet you know quite a lot."

Wan Feng smiled and said, "What I know, all of you realm masters surely already know. I'm just reminding you."

As she spoke, she looked at Xia Ziyang.

"Building a holy site is entirely up to your will; do whatever you wish."

The reason why the five guardian families were able to receive the secret realm bestowed by the divine tree is only because of their merit in protecting the path. Once these people have exhausted their merit, everything that they did not obtain through their own strength will be taken back.

Meng Qingyao knew that Dan Yuan Peak was in the right this time, so she said decisively, "Go back and tell Peak Master Hua that all the expenses for recruiting disciples should be shared by all the secret realm masters."

Wan Feng smiled: "The Pavilion Master is indeed very insightful. By the way, Pavilion Master, don't forget to arrange for the various Secret Realm Masters to patrol the East City area."

Once Meng Qingyao agreed to the inspection, Wan Feng, who had won a great victory, returned to report with a smile.

After he left, Meng Qingyao determined the resources that each secret realm master should provide based on the grade of their respective secret realm. Only after completing these steps did she dismiss the meeting.

When she came out of the council hall, she saw Xia Zhen standing in the courtyard.

"Sixteenth Elder."

Xia Zhen looked at her and said, "You did the right thing by agreeing to share the expenses with Hua Changxi."

Meng Qingyao herself felt a little uncomfortable: "It's just a little bit of resources, it's fine if they're given, but it's not a good feeling to be pushed around by Hua Changxi."

"The appearance of Wan Feng today is also unexpected."

Xia Zhen sighed, her face full of worry: "That's what I'm worried about. I'm worried that more and more people like Wan Feng will appear around Hua Changxi in the future."

Meng Qingyao was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

Xia Zhen sighed softly: "People admire the strong, and Hua Changxi is undoubtedly a strong person, and a strong person who is willing to give everyone a chance. Such a person is very attractive to outstanding talents."

Meng Qingyao opened her mouth as if to say something, but then fell silent.

At Dan Yuan Peak, Hua Changxi listened to Wan Feng's report and learned that he had persuaded the people of Lingjing Pavilion to share the expenses. A look of confusion welled up in her eyes.

The people from Lingjing Pavilion intercepted the registered cultivators without permission. This act was not only shameless, but also showed that they didn't respect her at all.

Wan Feng was just an ordinary steward in the personnel department. He went to the Spirit Realm Pavilion once and easily persuaded those shameless people.
That's quite an achievement!
A glint flashed in Hua Changxi's eyes as she once again used the techniques of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation to examine Wan Feng.

It possesses a fire and wood spiritual root, and the purity of the spiritual root is quite high.

When Hua Changxi saw the golden core floating above Wan Feng's dantian, her eyes flickered. If she remembered correctly, this person was a Qi Refining cultivator when he first arrived at Qihuang Hall No. 13.

In about a year, he improved by two major realms, which shows that his talent and comprehension are truly remarkable.

"You did a great job on this mission. Starting today, you will be promoted to head of the Human Resources Department and will be in charge of all human resources affairs together with Pharmacist Xu."

Wan Feng's face lit up with joy: "I will certainly live up to the Peak Master's expectations."
