The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 366, Development and Trade-offs
After returning to Danyuan Peak, Hua Changxi, accompanied by Yu Fu and the other three, hiked from the foot of the peak all the way to the summit, learning about the changes that had taken place in various parts of the mountain over the past three years.

After Yu Fu and the other three took their leave, she entered the Dan Yuan Secret Realm and inspected the first and second levels of the secret realm.

The medicinal fields on the first and second levels of the secret realm have been completely cultivated and planted with corresponding spiritual plants, presenting a vibrant and thriving scene.

When she was sure that Yu Fu and the other three had taken good care of Dan Yuan Peak and Dan Yuan Secret Realm, Hua Changxi was quite satisfied. The first thing she did after leaving the secret realm was to have Zhou Shou post the task of developing the third level of the secret realm in the mission hall.

Participants must either have reached the Core Formation stage in their cultivation or be a Rank 3 or higher spiritual plant master or alchemist who has passed the Dan Yuan Peak assessment.

With the mission announced, the people on Danyuan Peak lost all interest in the gossip and focused their minds on studying medicine, alchemy, and improving their cultivation.

The return of the peak master and the development task of the third level of the secret realm once again show a clear signal: in order to stay in Danyuan Peak and not fall behind, one must work hard to improve one's cultivation, alchemy, and medical skills.

After the task of developing the third level of the secret realm was released, Hua Changxi sent another message to Yu Fu, asking him to make a trip to the Artifact Saint Palace to purchase a thousand 'One Thought Connections'.

Now that a mobile phone with a cultivation theme has been released, it's bound to have certain features.

After receiving the message, Yu Fu came to the bamboo house again: "Master, the 'One Thought Connection' crafted by the Weapon Saint Palace costs 8,888 low-grade spirit stones each."

Hua Changxi replied, "It is a bit expensive."

Yu Fu: It's not just a little expensive, it's very expensive.

The disciples of Danyuan Peak have medicinal fields and spiritual fields. Even if they work hard for a year, they can only save up a few thousand spirit stones. But if they buy a 'One Thought Path', all of their income for the year will be gone.

Cultivators in other places have even fewer opportunities to obtain spirit stones, and it is even more difficult for them to accumulate them.

Those cultivators who can use the "One Thought Communication" technique are either strong enough or come from powerful and wealthy families. Ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford it and can only use ordinary communication talismans.

Hua Changxi: "I have an agreement with the Weapon Saint Palace to exchange goods and services. Moreover, there will be certain discounts if the purchase quantity is large."

As he spoke, he took out a batch of top-grade third-rank pills that he had refined earlier and handed them to Yu Fu.

"Keep some of these pills in the storeroom for future use, and use the rest to exchange for 'One Thought Enlightenment'."

“After the ‘One Thought Through’ was purchased, each department head was given one, and another hundred were set aside as a reward for disciples who had performed exceptionally well in all aspects during the three years I was away.”

"The rest will be placed in the logistics department, and the disciples of Danyuan Peak can exchange them with contribution points. Let's set the contribution point limit at 1,000 points. This can be considered a benefit that Danyuan Peak is giving to its disciples."

Upon hearing these words, Yu Fu didn't know what else to say, and smiled, saying, "Then I will thank the Peak Master on behalf of all my disciples."

Hua Changxi said, "You've managed Danyuan Peak very well, this is a reward." After a pause, she added, "When you go to the Artifact Saint Palace, take Gu Dulie with you. Whenever you go out in the future, take him with you. He is a Nascent Soul cultivator and can protect you."

Seeing Yu Fu stunned, Hua Changxi remembered that Dugu Lie's cultivation level, which he had publicly displayed, was only at the Core Formation stage, so she reminded him, "It's enough that you know about this."

Yu Fu nodded, then asked cautiously, "Master, Dugu Lie has concealed his cultivation level, so what about Ye Lingxuan and the others who are close to him?"

Hua Changxi looked at him and said, "I know their situation. Just pretend you don't know anything and treat them like ordinary disciples."

Yu Fu didn't press further and agreed with a serious expression.

Hua Changxi: "When you go to find Dugu Lie, also bring Ye Lingxuan, Jiang Henian, and the other eight people up to me."

After Yu Fu nodded in agreement, he left with the pills.

To conceal their identities, Ye Lingxuan and the others rarely gathered together.

Dugu Lie was surprised to receive the task of accompanying Yu Fu on a trip, and Ye Lingxuan and the others were also surprised to learn that Hua Changxi wanted to see them.

Due to the time constraints, the group didn't even have a chance to inform each other.

"The peak master wants to see us as soon as she returns. Do you think she has discovered our identities?"

"That shouldn't be the case, we didn't give anything away."

"Moreover, the peak master is rather aloof and out of touch with the world. He might not even know we exist."

Ye Lingxuan, Jiang Henian, and the other eight arrived at the bamboo house on the peak with some trepidation. Upon arrival, they saw a large pile of black bamboo outside the bamboo house.

"coming!"

Hua Changxi sized up the eight disciples of the Pill Saint Hall in front of him. After three years apart, all eight had improved their cultivation levels considerably and had very solid foundations.

"Meet the Peak Master."

Ye Lingxuan and Jiang Henian both lowered their heads. The peak master's gaze was too penetrating; it felt as if he could see right through them.

Ye Lingxuan spoke first: "I wonder if the Peak Master has summoned me for a task?"

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "I heard from some of the managers that you guys are very capable. Coincidentally, I have some black bamboo that I need to deal with, so I thought of you guys."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxuan and the others looked at the pile of pitch-black bamboo on the ground. Jiang Henian hesitated for a moment before speaking, "We are delighted that the Peak Master values ​​it, but this Ink Yin Bamboo is a fifth-grade soul plant, and our cultivation is insufficient, so we are afraid we cannot handle it properly."

Hua Changxi looked at him and said, "You can recognize a fifth-grade Ink Shade Bamboo. You have quite a wide range of knowledge." She stopped there and changed the subject, "Don't worry, I won't let you handle tasks that you can't handle."

As he spoke, he handed Jiang Henian a prepared, foot-long piece of ink-colored bamboo.

"The method for processing the ink bamboo is above. I need you to make these ink bamboos into bamboo slips."

Jiang Henian took the bamboo slip, hesitated for a moment, and then placed it on his forehead. Soon, the method of processing the Ink Yin Bamboo by imprinting it with his divine sense entered his mind.

Then, Jiang Henian handed the bamboo slip to Ye Lingxuan, who read it and then passed it on to others.

Soon, all eight of them knew how to handle the Ink Shade Bamboo.

The solution is not difficult, but the process is complex, requiring a great deal of patience and mental and physical exertion.

Hua Changxi looked at the eight people and said, "You can handle this in the courtyard." After saying that, she went into the bamboo house.

As soon as she left, Ye Lingxuan and the other eight began exchanging glances.

Why did Jiang Henian become acquainted with Moyinzhu?

There's no other reason than that the forbidden area of ​​the Dan Sheng Temple stores a lot of bamboo slips made of black bamboo. The alchemy and medical skills that these disciples of the holy land learned were all learned from these bamboo slips.

'The peak master made the bamboo slips, presumably for making rubbings, right?'

'Most likely.'

'Making imprints on bamboo slips can only be done with divine sense. Does this mean the Peak Master is already a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator?'

The peak master's cultivation level has always been a mystery; even the elders haven't figured it out.

"The Complete Guide to First-Grade and Second-Grade Spiritual Plants used to be copied, but now with the Ink Shade Bamboo Slips, medical skills and alchemy knowledge can be passed down through these slips in the future."

Since the peak master's cultivation level was unknown, Ye Lingxuan and the others could not communicate verbally in the courtyard and could only use sound transmission techniques to communicate.

Although Hua Changxi was inside the house, she kept an eye on the movements in the courtyard and immediately noticed the spiritual energy fluctuations caused by the telepathic transmission.

However, she ignored them and focused on observing Ye Lingxuan, Jiang Henian, and the others.

The unrest in Nanxiang County meant that sending the Zhuque Army to maintain order would inevitably infringe on the interests of some people, and she worried that conflicts of interest would lead to more fighting.

If this leads to greater persecution of ordinary people, then she has done more harm than good.

She was worried about things in Nanxiang County and wanted to keep an eye on things there, so she had to make arrangements for Danyuan Peak as soon as possible.

Ye Lingxuan and the others are successors of the Pill Saint Hall. Regardless of their ulterior motives, they are at least aligned with the Pill Saint Hall. If they are of good character, she wouldn't mind entrusting them with important responsibilities.

While Hua Changxi was worrying about Nanxiang County and thinking about how to improve the various systems of Danyuan Peak and the personnel arrangements of various departments, the various departments of the Medical Department were still discussing other matters.

The old courtyard in the square.

Wen Shouren looked at Gu Xing: "Tell me, how do you think Hua Changxi will treat the Duke of Liang tomorrow?"

Gu Xing sighed: "That girl hates evil like poison, she will most likely retaliate in kind."

Wen Shouren looked over: "Judging from your tone, it seems like you think it shouldn't be like this?"

Gu Xing shook his head: "Solving problems solely through force will not lead to anything great. Moreover, once the habit of using force to pave the way is formed, it will be very difficult to change in the future."

Wen Shouren thought for a moment: "In a world in chaos, tyrannical actions may be more effective."

Lingjing Pavilion.

Xia Zhen said to the Xia family cultivators, "We must find out the reason why the Five Generals of Xuanyuan accepted the Hua family."

Qihuang Pavilion.

Prince Shou said to Chu Junhao, "When he heard that the Hua family had joined the Xuanyuan Mansion, the Duke of Liang panicked. Tomorrow, you will accompany him to Danyuan Peak to see Hua Changxi."

Chu Junhao: "Please advise, Imperial Uncle, what outcome should the Duke of Liang expect from his meeting with Hua Changxi?"

Prince Shou glanced at Chu Junhao: "You are just an attendant. What you do is up to the Duke of Liang."

Upon hearing this, Chu Junhao immediately understood that the purpose of Liang Guogong's trip to Dan Yuanfeng tomorrow was to personally apologize to him.
