The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 313, The Transfer of the Burden

“Hua Changxi teaches real skills in class.”

When Ye Lingxuan, Jiang Henian, and the other disciples of the Pill Saint Hall listened to Hua Changxi's lecture for the first time, they were all somewhat shaken.

It wasn't because Hua Changxi's lectures were particularly profound, but because Hua Changxi genuinely shared his medical knowledge without reservation.

Ye Lingxuan: "The first Qihuang Hall is for identifying medicinal herbs, the second for processing them, the third for cultivating them, the fourth for dissecting and breaking down medicinal materials, the fifth for extracting the 'useful' components from them, and the sixth for alchemy."

"Now that we've reached Hall 9, the content taught in Halls 7, 8, and 9 is unknown."

Jiang Henian shook his head: "Of the seven, eight, and nine Qihuang Halls, one teaches how to cultivate the body."

Ye Lingxuan nodded: "I had forgotten about that."

Nangong Yingyue said with a strange expression, "Hua Changxi's medical and alchemical inheritance is more complete than ours. Why does she seem more like a successor of the Pill Saint Hall than we are?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxuan and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

Jiang Henian laughed and said, "Alright, whether or not we are successors of the Holy Land, as long as we are working to promote and facilitate the revival and reappearance of the Holy Land, we are all like-minded people."

"Moreover, Hua Changxi has gained the approval of the Divine Tree, making him almost a successor even though he is not one."

Ye Lingxuan nodded in agreement: "Senior Brother Jiang is right. Hua Changxi is indeed as Wan Feng said, tolerant and willing to give people opportunities."

"Dansheng Temple has nine main peaks, and Danyuan Peak is one of them. Now that we have joined, let each of us use our strengths and do our best to assist Hua Changxi in developing and strengthening Danyuan Peak."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Just then, a deacon from the lecture hall came over.

"Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Sister Nangong, Senior Sister Hua, Senior Brother Xie, the Peak Master wants to see you. Come with me to the Lecture Hall."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxuan and the others were taken aback.

Jiang Henian hurriedly asked the steward, "What business does the Peak Master have with us?"

The steward shook his head: "I don't know about that. Let's go, don't keep the peak master waiting."

The five people whose names were called exchanged glances and could only follow the apprentices to the lecture hall.

Soon, we arrived at the lecture hall.

In the lobby, Hua Changxi was carefully reviewing the mission records of the mission hall. When she saw an outstanding apprentice, she would extract the apprentice's resume and learn about it in detail.

Ye Lingxuan and the other four were a little guilty, not knowing why Hua Changxi had suddenly summoned them.

There was nothing they could do; although they sincerely wanted to join Danyuan Peak, they had ultimately concealed their identities and cultivation levels.

"Greetings, Peak Master."

When Hua Changxi saw the five people arrive, he put down the mission logbook and the apprentice resume list and went straight to the point: "You five are all third-grade alchemists. Would you be willing to teach the apprentices on Danyuan Peak how to refine pills?"

Ye Lingxuan and the other four exchanged glances, then nodded in unison: "We're willing."

Hua Changxi got the answer he wanted and smiled: "Starting in November, which is tomorrow, I will be teaching alchemy in Hall 6. Originally, I only planned to train two hundred people, but with the five of you, I plan to increase the first batch of alchemy apprentices to five hundred."

He then gave each of the five men a list, each list containing one hundred apprentices.

“The five of you will each be responsible for one hundred alchemy apprentices. These apprentices all have experience in alchemy, and some are even first-grade alchemists.”

"Your duty is to help them improve their alchemy skills."

"The Mission Hall has three main departments: the Planting Department, the Processing Department, and the Alchemy Department."

"Among the five of you, whoever trains the most alchemists and has the best alchemy skills will be the head of the Alchemy Department." Hua Changxi smiled at the five of them: "I've finished speaking. Do you have anything to say?"

Ye Lingxuan and the other four exchanged glances, and finally Jiang Henian couldn't help but ask, "Peak Master, do you trust us that much? You've entrusted us with such an important task?"

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "You swore an oath to your inner demons that you would not betray Dan Yuan Peak, didn't you?"

Ye Lingxuan and the other four: "." Hua Changxi is too easily trusting of others!

Seeing that the five people remained silent, Hua Changxi said, "If you have no objections, then let's leave it at that. Alright, go and do your own thing."

Ye Lingxuan and the other four, holding the list of apprentices they were to take charge of, walked out of the lecture hall in a daze.

They didn't hide their alchemy skills; they genuinely wanted to be entrusted with important responsibilities. However, these responsibilities came too easily, making them feel somewhat unreal.

Nangong Yingyue looked at the others in confusion: "Isn't the Peak Master going to test us first?"

Ye Lingxuan and the other three remained silent. They were somewhat at a loss when faced with a peak master who trusted his subordinates.

After assigning tasks to Ye Lingxuan and the other four, Hua Changxi returned directly to the bamboo house and eagerly took out the "Twelve Styles of Soul Control" to read it carefully.

After November, she planned to go to the Nine Netherworlds for training.

First, I want to experience the so-called auction; second, I want to obtain some soul crystals to enhance my spiritual sense.

She had been to the Netherworld twice before, and both times she encountered life-or-death crises. This time, she would definitely need to learn more survival skills.

"The Soul-Transforming Palm is quite good."

"The Soul-Slaying Blade is also very powerful, and the blade used must be a Soul Weapon (divine weapon). I don't know if Tong Yao has any for sale. If not, we'll have to find the materials to forge a Soul Weapon first."

"The Soul-Capturing Melody can be used for area-of-effect attacks; it must be played with a bone flute, and it's also a soul weapon."

Of the twelve Soul Control Techniques, Hua Changxi first chose to learn the Soul Summoning Spell, Soul Chasing Seal, and Soul Transformation Palm. The other techniques either require Soul Weapons or auxiliary materials such as Soul Plants.

A day and a night passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was the first day of November.

Early in the morning, Dan Yuan Peak became lively. Fifty selected alchemy apprentices went to the logistics department to collect their alchemy furnaces and then followed Ye Lingxuan to the Qihuang Hall No. 6.

The other apprentices were filled with envy when they saw this.

"Stop looking. The peak master said that everyone has the opportunity to learn alchemy. Let's hurry up and do the missions. After we finish the missions, we can go back to our cave to review. Don't forget that there will be an assessment at the end of the year. Only those who pass the assessment can go to the second level of the secret realm."

When the apprentices from Danyuan Peak arrived at Qihuang Hall No. 6, there were already fifty cultivators sitting inside. These cultivators were undoubtedly those who had close ties with Director Gu and Yuan Tianchou.

In order to expand the learning space, the owner of the academy, Yuan Tianchou, directly demolished the building, leaving only the stone walls that could not be dismantled.

When Hua Changxi arrived, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the bare stone walls.

"Starting today, I will teach everyone how to refine elixirs."

"The first step in alchemy is to prepare the medicinal herbs, the formula, and the furnace. In addition, one must be familiar with controlling the flame, as the control of the heat is also crucial to alchemy."

"Medicinal herbs, alchemy furnace, and fire control—these three factors directly determine the quality of the refined pills."

"Today we are refining a first-grade pill. I have already explained the identification and processing of first-grade spiritual herbs before, so I won't go into details now."

"As for the alchemy furnace, everyone can purchase one according to their own financial means, so I won't say more."

"Now, we will focus on the control of fire."

"Who would like to come up and demonstrate their control over fire?"
