The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 298, What is Wan Feng's background?

Half a month after Wan Feng approached Lingjing Pavilion, Meng Qingyao finally sent someone to the personnel department of Danyuan Peak to deliver the 'expenses' that each secret realm master should share.

Pharmacist Xu hesitated for a moment, then handed the storage bag to Wan Feng: "Take this to the Peak Master."

There was actually some undercurrent in the personnel department regarding Wan Feng's promotion, especially among several apprentice pharmacists.

Previously, all the apprentice medicine boys had sensed Hua Changxi's dislike of them, but Wan Feng's promotion this time gave them hope.

If the peak master is willing to give Wan Feng an important position, then he should also give them opportunities.

As a result, the HR department staff became even more proactive.

Wan Feng did not take the storage bag, but smiled and said, "Manager Xu, I haven't compiled the resumes of the new apprentices I recruited these past few days. You should deliver the things sent by Lingjing Pavilion to the Peak Master."

Pharmacist Xu was already feeling threatened because Wan Feng had become the manager. Seeing that Wan Feng was as respectful to him as ever, and that he was willing to give him this opportunity to shine, he couldn't help but smile more.

"Alright, I happen to have something to discuss with the Peak Master. I'll trouble you to organize the resumes of the new apprentices."

Wan Feng smiled and agreed. After watching Pharmacist Xu leave, he quickly went to the guided tour hall next door.

After registering and having their spiritual roots tested, those who register will be led to the information center to learn about the various rules and regulations of Dan Yuan Peak and Dan Yuan Secret Realm, and to fill out a resume.

The resume has a special section where applicants need to fill in their understanding and mastery of medicine and alchemy.

Some apprentices were already alchemists before entering Danyuan Peak; others were apprentices who had never been exposed to medicine or alchemy.

The personnel department needs to compile statistics on the apprentices in batches and then send them to the task hall so that the task hall can assign suitable apprentices to suitable positions.

Inside the museum, over a hundred monks were engrossed in filling out their resumes.

Wan Feng walked into the hall, inspecting the place as he spoke: "Everyone, our peak master is the best at recognizing and utilizing talent. Now, Dan Yuan Peak and Dan Yuan Secret Realm are in great need of development. If you have real skills, then show them off. A bright future awaits you."

Upon hearing this, many monks who were writing their resumes paused for a moment.

Wan Feng continued his inspection: "I'm not sure about the other secret realms, but on Dan Yuan Peak, everyone is treated equally. In other words, as long as you are gold, you won't have to worry about not having a chance to shine."

As he spoke, Wan Feng's gaze lingered on several people who were clearly hesitant.

However, he didn't say anything more and just waited quietly.

After these people filled out their resumes, He Sirong and He Siqi came over and led them to the summit of Danyuan Peak to swear an oath to their inner demons.

At the summit of Danyuan Peak, besides the oath monument standing in the center, there are also several bamboo houses built at the foot of the cliff at the southeast end of the peak.

This is the residence that Hua Changxi built for herself using fourth-tier spirit bamboo from the fourth level of the secret realm. On ordinary days, if there is anything going on at Danyuan Peak, the stewards will come to the bamboo house to discuss matters.

Pharmacist Xu was lucky; when he arrived at the bamboo house, Hua Changxi happened to be there.

The bamboo house is built on the edge of a cliff, which makes it easy to observe the three peaks of Shenhe Peak, Qingyao Peak, and Xuanhuang Peak at the southeast end of Danyuan Peak.

"Ninth Sister".

Pharmacist Xu knew clearly that the gap between him and Hua Changxi was widening. He wanted her to remember their friendship, so when no one was around, he would call her Ninth Sister.

Fortunately, Hua Changxi still remembered their past relationship and did not correct him.

At that moment, Hua Changxi was sitting at a stone table on the edge of the cliff. When she saw Pharmacist Xu arrive, she smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, come and sit down."

Pharmacist Xu didn't refuse. He smiled and sat down on the stone bench next to Hua Changxi, watching her leisurely sip her spiritual tea. He teased, "What brings you here to drink tea today?"

Hua Changxi looked towards the Three Peaks. In her line of sight, she could clearly see that many cultivators were busily building pavilions and towers on the Three Peaks.

Just like Danyuan Peak a few months ago.

"Shenhe Peak, Qingyao Peak, and Xuanhuang Peak have been quite lively lately. Let me see what's going on."

Pharmacist Xu followed Hua Changxi's gaze, but unfortunately, he could only see three peaks. As for the people on the peaks, he couldn't make out their faces with his eyesight.

"I came to find you to talk about Sanfeng."

Hua Changxi said "Oh" and looked at Pharmacist Xu.

Pharmacist Xu: "The masters of all the major secret realms are now recruiting apprentices, and in considerable numbers. Although the Department of Medicine has grown larger, there are still very few places that can actually accommodate the apprentices."

“Apart from the Four Peaks, all other territories are under the control of the royal family.”

Places like the Ninth Street, the Apprentice Hall, the Disciple Hall, and the Servant Hall can provide accommodation, but compared to the Four Peaks, which are rich in spiritual energy, these places are instantly inferior.

“Except for a few secret realm masters who arranged for their apprentices to live in the secret realm, most secret realm masters chose to rent houses on Shenhe Peak, Qingyao Peak, and Xuanhuang Peak.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Changxi immediately understood: "No wonder Sanfeng has been so frantically building infrastructure these days."

Seeing that she stopped speaking, Pharmacist Xu continued, "Ninth Sister, there are also secret realm masters who want to rent a place on Danyuan Peak, but since you haven't shown up these past few days, Steward Yu and I dare not agree."

"I came to see you today to tell you this. If you agree, I will immediately inform those secret realm masters."

Hua Changxi shook his head and refused: "No need, only disciples who have joined Danyuan Peak can enter and leave Danyuan Peak."

"Management becomes complicated when there are too many people. If people from other secret realms come along, Dan Yuan Peak will probably be in complete chaos."

Pharmacist Xu hesitated for a moment, then said, "However, disciples from other secret realms rent rooms on the three peaks. Over time, their relationships may become even closer."

"There are already many small groups among the various secret realm masters. Now, with the added bond of interests, you will be the only one left all alone among all the secret realm masters."

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of being alone; I'm just afraid of trouble."

Seeing Hua Changxi's attitude, Pharmacist Xu didn't say anything more and changed the subject, smiling as he handed over the storage bag sent by Lingjing Pavilion to Hua Changxi.

Hua Changxi took the bag and looked at the various pills inside. There were quite a lot of them, but the quality was all low-grade. "Uncle Xu, take this and give it to Yu Fu so he can register it in the warehouse."

The pills compensated by Lingjing Pavilion were clearly made by alchemists with limited alchemy skills. This reminded Hua Changxi that Danyuan Peak should also hurry up and train alchemists.

As time goes by, the number of apprentices on Danyuan Peak will only increase. Although the development of the secret realm is progressing faster, the consumption of resources is also increasing day by day.

The batch of monthly pills she refined, intended for distribution to her apprentices, stored in the warehouse, was visibly decreasing.

It's definitely not enough for her to refine pills by herself alone, so we need to train a group of alchemists before the warehouse inventory runs out.

Fortunately, many of the cultivators who signed up from other places were exceptionally talented, including some who were already first- or second-grade alchemists.

Hua Changxi stood up and looked at Pharmacist Xu: "Come on, I'll go with you to the personnel department to see the talents and aptitudes of the apprentices recruited recently."

The two left the bamboo house and rode down the mountain on a spiritual cloud.

Flying to the mountainside, they saw He Sirong and He Siqi leading a group of newly recruited apprentices to the logistics department to choose their accommodations.

Hua Changxi's gaze swept over the apprentices, and suddenly he stopped.

Upon seeing this, Pharmacist Xu quickly asked, "Ninth Sister, what's wrong?"

Hua Changxi narrowed his eyes slightly: "This batch of apprentices seems to have good aptitude." There are three Nascent Soul cultivators, two of whom are Wood Spirit Body cultivators.

Without looking back, Hua Changxi, along with Pharmacist Xu, disappeared into the sky halfway up the mountain in the blink of an eye.

The instant the two disappeared, the two Nascent Soul cultivators with Wood Spirit bodies among the apprentices simultaneously looked up at the sky. After seeing nothing, they frowned and looked away.

When Wan Feng saw Hua Changxi arrive at the personnel department, he quickly stepped forward to greet her: "Peak Master."

"Give me all the resumes of the apprentices you've recruited recently."

Upon hearing Hua Changxi's instructions, Wan Feng quickly went to the archives and retrieved the resumes of all the apprentices who had joined Danyuan Peak after September 1st.

Before handing the resume to Hua Changxi, Wan Feng placed the resumes of the apprentices he had recruited that day on top.

Hua Changxi flipped through the resumes quickly, pulling out some as she went, and silently calculating in her mind that there were more geniuses present today than in all previous years combined.

"Our Dan Yuan Peak is in luck today, having recruited several geniuses with considerable expertise in medicine and alchemy."

Seeing that Hua Changxi had indeed noticed the apprentices today, Wan Feng felt a little uneasy. He had reminded his fellow apprentices not to hide their talents today, and hopefully, he hadn't made things worse.

Wan Feng secretly observed Hua Changxi's expression and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she only looked happy to have recruited outstanding talents.

Hua Changxi smiled and said to Pharmacist Xu, "I haven't been involved in the matter of recruiting apprentices. I happen to be free today, so let's go to the logistics department and see the newly recruited apprentices."

Pharmacist Xu assumed that Hua Changxi had just decided to go for a whim, so he chuckled and called Wan Feng to accompany Hua Changxi to the logistics department.

When Hua Changxi, Pharmacist Xu, and Wan Feng arrived at the logistics department, He Sirong and He Siqi had just arrived with more than a hundred newly recruited apprentices.

"Peak Master!"

Seeing He Sirong and He Siqi pay their respects to Hua Changxi, the new apprentice belatedly followed suit.

Hua Changxi waved her hand, and a bamboo chair was placed in the square outside the logistics department gate. After sitting down, she smiled at Pharmacist Xu and said, "I would like to get to know the apprentices we recruited today. Let them come up one by one and introduce themselves."

"No need for a complicated introduction. Just tell me about your spiritual root, cultivation level, and the skills you are good at."

Upon hearing this, the apprentices were momentarily flustered, and a few of them even secretly glanced at Wan Feng.

Hua Changxi keenly noticed this, and his gaze darkened.

Soon, one by one, the apprentices began to step forward and introduce themselves.

Hua Changxi flipped through the resumes he had pulled out, and at the same time, he used his diagnostic skills to identify the nine most outstanding students in this batch of apprentices.

"Ye Lingxuan, Wood Spirit Body, early stage of Nascent Soul, third-grade alchemist."

"Jiang Henian, Wood Spirit Body, early stage of Nascent Soul, third-grade alchemist."

"Dugu Lie, Five Elements Spiritual Root, early stage of Nascent Soul, second-grade alchemist."

"Nangong Yingyue, single wood spiritual root, peak Core Formation stage, third-grade alchemist."

"Xie Qingyu, single wood spiritual root, peak Core Formation stage, third-grade alchemist."

"Hua Nongying, Fire and Wood Spiritual Root, Late Core Formation Stage, Rank 3 Alchemist."

"Xiao Xuan, Fire and Wood Spiritual Root, late Core Formation stage, third-tier Processing Master."

"Zhang He, with water, wood, and earth spiritual roots, late stage of Core Formation, and a third-tier spiritual plant master."

"Wang Yangeng, with earth and wood spiritual roots, late stage of Core Formation, and a third-tier spiritual plant master."

These nine people have probably all practiced techniques to suppress their cultivation level, keeping it at the Qi Sea Realm.

Apart from Ye Lingxuan and Jiang Henian, who changed their Wood Spirit Body to Wood Spirit Root, everything else was the same as what was written on their resumes.

Hua Changxi's mind was in turmoil. Several of these nine people had exchanged glances with Wan Feng, so it was obvious that they knew Wan Feng.

With their strength and talent, these nine people would be honored guests wherever they went.

What exactly is their purpose in coming to Danyuan Peak?
Hua Changxi smiled calmly, offered a few words of encouragement to the new apprentices, and then had He Sirong and He Siqi lead them into the logistics department to choose their cave dwellings.

"You guys go back to the HR department and get busy too."

Watching Pharmacist Xu and Wan Feng leave, Hua Changxi frowned. Just who was this Wan Feng?
