The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 346, Appointment Announcement of Lingguang Hall
Hua Changxi had seen the approximate location of the Twelve Blessed Grottoes of Nanxiang City in the landscape of Nanxiang City displayed on the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan (a celestial compass) on the Star Gazing Tower. In addition, she was able to accurately locate the location of spatial fluctuations, so she was confident that she could find the exact location of the Twelve Blessed Grottoes.

With the location for body training in sight, Hua Changxi was no longer so anxious.

Although her cultivation level cannot be improved for the time being, as long as she continues to refine her body, her strength will not lag behind others.

Hua Changxi shifted his attention to the Vermilion Bird Army, which now numbered over 20,000. All the palaces of Lingguang Hall should be opened to the public.

On that day, an appointment notice was posted outside all the palaces of Lingguang Hall.

"From this day forward, all palaces of Lingguang Hall, except for the main hall, will be open to the public."

"Based on a comprehensive ranking of cultivation level and merit, those ranked higher will be entrusted with important responsibilities."

"Xiao Zhuohua is appointed as the steward of the Chuan Gong Hall, responsible for the registration and verification of the Vermilion Bird Army's place of origin and related matters concerning the external publicity of the Ling Guang Hall."

"Yun You is appointed as the head of the logistics department, in charge of the pill warehouse, spirit talisman warehouse, formation warehouse, and armory, and responsible for the overall planning and distribution of supplies."

"Xie Hanzhang is appointed as the head of the Mission Hall, responsible for mission distribution, intelligence gathering, and other related matters."

"Su Yu is appointed as the steward of the Hall of Merit, responsible for the recording and verification of the merits of the Vermilion Bird Army."

"Yang Zhaoye is appointed as the manager of the Discipline Hall, responsible for establishing and rectifying the discipline of the Vermilion Bird Army, as well as maintaining order in the Lingguang Hall."

"Duan Jishan is appointed as the manager of the Martial Arts Hall, responsible for the daily training affairs of the Vermilion Bird Army."

"Luo Xingyao is appointed as the manager of the training hall, responsible for maintaining the distribution and arrangement of training rooms and other related matters."

"Ye Liyue, Qin Zhilan, Liu Shuyi, Yan Guichen, Su Zhuyue and 25 others are appointed as commanders of a thousand men, responsible for leading the assigned thousand Vermilion Bird soldiers. They may also select their own centurions and squad leaders."

"Note: If any of the above personnel are unwilling to take on the role of manager, please register and leave a message at the Mission Hall. Once in office, you will be subject to joint inspection by all members of the Vermilion Bird Army."

"If any person in charge fails to perform their duties, all registered Vermilion Bird Army members have the right to expose them. Subsequently, suggestion boxes will be set up at the four corners of the Lingguang Hall Square for everyone to express their opinions."

"Given that the Lingguang Palace has only recently appeared and many matters are still being worked out, there are bound to be shortcomings in the appointment of the above personnel. In the future, in addition to cultivation level and merit points, 'the morale of the army' will also be included as a selection criterion."

“If any of the above-mentioned managers or centurions are not qualified to serve in their respective positions, they will be unconditionally replaced and suitable personnel will be selected to fill the vacancies.”

"All positions in the Lingguang Hall will be filled by the most capable individuals!"

The announcement of this appointment caused a sensation throughout the entire Lingguang Hall.

Hua Changxi wasn't entirely confident about this appointment. She made her decisions based on the people's cultivation level, their ability to accept and complete missions.

She didn't have time to investigate the character of these people.

But we can't worry about that now. If the Vermilion Bird Army of more than 20,000 people is not restrained by a complete institutional framework, the destructive potential is unpredictable.

Su Yu came to the logistics department and found Yun You: "When the Palace Master doesn't appear, it's as if he doesn't exist. But when he does appear, he does something amazing."

Because the two of them became managers early on, they were closer to each other than others on weekdays, and would get together to discuss things when problems arose.

Yun You: "I think the Palace Master is always in Lingguang Palace, he just doesn't show up."

Su Yu did not argue about it, but sighed, "The Palace Master really doesn't care about background when selecting capable people."

Of the stewards and the twenty-five centurions, nearly 80% were of ordinary birth.

Yun You smiled and said, "The Palace Master's fair actions are a blessing for all the Vermilion Bird Army."

The temple master's sudden announcement of the appointment caused a stir, but no one used it as an excuse to cause trouble. Why?

Both cultivation level and merit points are verifiable. After confirming that the person appointed was indeed among the top-ranked individuals, everyone had nothing more to say.

Su Yu was somewhat downcast. The Su family was not a small or insignificant family, and he was used to the business model of gaining huge benefits through strong alliances. Now, he was to be placed on the same starting line as everyone else, relying solely on his own strength to compete in a real battle. He was really not used to it.

Yun You knew Su Yu quite well, and seeing him like this, she comforted him, saying, "Being appreciated by the Palace Master is already more fortunate than many others. As long as we do our jobs well and have a clear conscience, a clear conscience before the Palace Master, and a clear conscience before the Vermilion Bird Army, that's enough."

As for the others...

“Even the Chu royal family, which ruled the Great Jin for nearly a thousand years, could not avoid stepping down from the highest stage of power, let alone others.”

Su Yu looked at Yun You and shook his head: "You don't understand."

Yun You came from an ordinary background. Before the spiritual energy revival, the highest official she had ever met was a county magistrate. She had no idea how much of a psychological gap would result from the loss of power.

Yun You, too lazy to continue Su Yu's sentimental musings, said directly, "Let's go, we should go see the other managers and the centurions."

"Since we have been entrusted with important responsibilities by the Palace Master, we should share the Palace Master's burdens and work together to manage the Lingguang Palace well."

None of those appointed declined the position.

After seeing these people gather in the Discipline Hall and begin discussing how to develop, expand, and train the Vermilion Bird Army, Hua Changxi flew away from the Lingguang Hall.

"Nanxiang County is indeed getting bigger and bigger."

Hua Changxi used to be able to cross Nanxiang County in one or two hours; but now, after flying in the sky for most of the day, he is still circling over Nanxiang County.

More and more cultivators are gathering in Nanxiang County. In some places where fire spiritual energy is abundant, Nascent Soul Realm cultivators openly appear and sit cross-legged, giving the impression that their territory has already been occupied.

Hua Changxi carefully avoided the crowd and explored the specific locations of the twelve blessed lands one by one.

"Ok?"

As Hua Changxi passed a barren, uneven stone mountain, devoid of any spatial fluctuations or unusual features, the fire elemental energy in her dantian suddenly began to vibrate.

"Whoo~"

As the fire elemental energy within Hua Changxi flowed down her arm, a red lotus formed from raging flames suddenly bloomed in her hand.

Looking at the 'Red Lotus Karmic Fire' in her hand, Hua Changxi's eyes flashed for a moment, then suddenly lit up. She remembered that among the twelve blessed lands of Nanxiang City, there was a place called 'Karmic Fire Platform'.

The karmic fire lotus spontaneously condensed, likely due to some kind of summons from this place.

Hua Changxi flew and landed on the stone mountain. The red lotus karmic fire in her palm immediately blazed brightly and flew into the air, rapidly growing larger.

Soon, the karmic fire of the red lotus gradually became transparent and began to appear and disappear intermittently. With a 'pop', a circular crack appeared in the center of the red lotus.

Upon seeing the crack, Hua Changxi's eyes lit up. Having already experienced entering and exiting spatial rifts several times, she immediately realized that this opening connected to another space.

Having been suppressed by the restrictions within the Xuanyuan Mansion, Hua Changxi carefully stepped into the central crack of the Red Lotus only after being extremely vigilant.

As you pass through the crack, the scenery changes dramatically.
