The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 376, Who is using whom?

The news of the personnel appointments at Danyuan Peak quickly spread throughout Danyuan Peak, and also reached people in Lingjing Pavilion, Qihuang Pavilion, and Jiujie Hall.

The people from Lingjing Pavilion, Qihuang Pavilion, and Jiujie Hall were all very enthusiastic about organizing the alchemy conference.

None of the three parties forgot about Danyuan Peak. They sent people to notify Danyuan Peak every time a meeting was held, but Hua Changxi never showed his face. He only sent a disciple named Wan Feng to participate.

All three parties are very dissatisfied with this.

Putting aside any ulterior motives, the Alchemy Conference was, after all, held in the name of the Alchemy Saint Hall. Hua Changxi's lack of attention to it not only showed a lack of respect for the three parties involved, but also clearly indicated that he did not take the Holy Land seriously.

In the old courtyard of the square, Gu Xing saw Wen Shouren had come again, but he ignored him and continued to look through the account books in his hands. He was in charge of three public secret realms and had a lot of things to deal with every day.

Wen Shouren acted as if he were at home, and without waiting for Gu Xing to greet him, he sat down and poured tea for himself.

After leisurely finishing a cup of spiritual tea, Wen Shouren finally spoke: "Hua Changxi disappears from time to time. She is really unqualified to be a peak master."

Gu Xing didn't look up or respond.

Wen Shouren continued speaking to himself, "Fortunately, Hua Changxi always does something worthwhile whenever he appears."

"According to Lingxuan and the others, Danyuan Peak is now on the right track. As long as it operates normally, it will be the cradle for cultivating alchemists in the Holy Land."

At this point, Wen Shouren's face showed admiration: "Old Gu, do you know what else happened at Danyuan Peak besides personnel appointments?"

Gu Xing finally looked up at him, but didn't say anything, just looked at him, gesturing for him to speak quickly.

Wen Shouren smiled, not minding at all: "Dan Yuan Peak can use contribution points to exchange for 'Complete Collection of Grade Three Spiritual Plants', 'Grade Three Pill Recipes', as well as 'Complete Collection of Grade Four Spiritual Plants' and 'Grade Four Pill Recipes'."

"Because of the oath of inner demons, Lingxuan and the others could not go into details, but they did reveal that the types of spiritual herbs and pill formulas announced by Hua Changxi were more complete than those passed down from the Holy Land."

He sighed as he spoke.

"Hua Changxi is indeed arrogant; he doesn't even show up for important events like the Alchemy Conference."

"But, it is truly selfless."

"Whoever gets the inheritance she has, will probably keep some secrets, but she really gave it away."

Gu Xing's expression was somewhat complicated: "She wasn't arrogant about the alchemy competition."

Wen Shouren grunted in response, looking puzzled: "What did you say?"

Gu Xing sighed, "That girl doesn't really care about the Holy Land, nor is she willing to take responsibility. The Alchemy Conference is probably not a big deal to her."

He paused, then chuckled.

"Upon closer examination, it really isn't a serious matter; it's just an excuse for some people to profit from it."

Wen Shouren paused for a moment: "Everyone does have their own thoughts, but it's not without its good points. At least, it can indeed promote the exchange and development of alchemical medical techniques."

"The Complete Collection of First-Grade Spiritual Medicines, First-Grade Pill Recipes, the Complete Collection of Second-Grade Spiritual Medicines, Second-Grade Pill Recipes, as well as the medicinal bath formulas for the skin refining, flesh refining, and bone refining stages, have all been made freely available to the world by Dan Yuan Peak."

"When cultivators from various places arrive, they can at least take these things back with them to develop local alchemy and medical techniques, and provide ordinary people with a path to cultivation through body tempering."

Gu Xing agreed with this statement.

Wen Shouren suddenly looked regretful: "We really should have sent more people to Danyuan Peak before." As he spoke, he looked at Gu Xing.

"Did you know that Xiao Xuan can make any kind of spiritual medicine on the fourth level of the Dan Yuan Secret Realm? He lives a much more luxurious life than us old folks."

"Lingxuan and the others have also become managers of various departments on Danyuan Peak, each taking charge of specific tasks on their own."

"If I had known that Hua Changxi was so indifferent to power, I should have gone to Danyuan Peak to develop my career. With my abilities, I might have become the deputy peak master by now."

"Hua Changxi is a hands-off manager who disappears all the time. If I become the deputy peak master, won't I be able to allocate the resources in the Dan Yuan Secret Realm at will?"

Gu Xing looked at Wen Shouren, who was daydreaming, and snorted, shattering his beautiful dream.

"Don't treat that girl like a fool. She just doesn't like playing tricks."

"You think you are using her power as the peak master of Danyuan Peak to your advantage; little do you know, perhaps she is using you to her advantage."

Wen Shouren chuckled and didn't argue with Gu Xing. In his opinion, the successor of the Holy Land had already successfully infiltrated Danyuan Peak and occupied an important position.

With the impetus of the Holy Land's successors, Danyuan Peak will inevitably move towards the growth and development of the Holy Land.

As long as the direction is right, nothing else matters.

Just as Wen Shouren was happy for Ye Lingxuan and the others' success, in the Dan Yuan Secret Realm, Hua Changxi had already transported the Ink Yin Bamboo from the fifth level of the secret realm to the fourth level several times, and there were already several piles of Ink Yin Bamboo piled up like mountains.

Hua Changxi looked at Xiao Xuan and said, "Ye Lingxuan will be in charge of making bamboo slips from now on. You will be responsible for transporting them to her whenever she needs the Ink Yin Bamboo."

Xiao Xuan nodded in agreement, and then quickly reported on the spiritual herbs he had refined during this period.

After hearing this, Hua Changxi collected all the prepared medicinal herbs, encouraged Xiao Xuan to keep up the good work, and then left the secret realm. Not long after leaving, she received a message from Yan Zhenzhen.

Yan Zhenzhen lived in the northern part of the capital. Hua Changxi went to see her first, and they inquired about each other's recent situations before getting straight to the point.

"Zhenzhen, do you have a teleportation array that can transport you to a sealed space?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhenzhen's expression immediately changed, and she excitedly asked, "Have you discovered a secret realm or ruins?"

Hua Changxi looked at her but did not respond.

Yan Zhenzhen was somewhat disappointed, but she could understand: "They do exist, but they are expensive."

"The teleportation array that sends people into the sealed space must break the laws of space. The Array Saint Sect has fewer than ten elders who can refine it."

"Not only is it difficult to refine, but the materials are also extremely scarce, and the Array Saint Sect doesn't have much in stock."

Hua Changxi's face lit up with joy: "I want ten sets, do you have any?"

Yan Zhenzhen was stunned, her eyes wide, her voice trembling slightly: "You found ten ruins or secret realms?"

Hua Changxi shook her head: "No, I just wanted to prepare more so as not to bother you every time."

Yan Zhenzhen's expression changed. She grabbed Hua Changxi's hand and looked at her expectantly, "Changxi, let me be your follower. Don't worry, I won't steal your opportunities. I'll just collect the techniques and materials related to array formation, okay?"

Hua Changxi looked at her, somewhat helplessly: "Zhenzhen, I'm sorry, I'm going to disappoint you." After saying that, he shook his head firmly.

Yan Zhenzhen looked regretful and pleaded for herself again: "Is it really impossible? Is there absolutely no chance?"

Hua Changxi shook his head again.

Yan Zhenzhen sighed, but quickly composed herself and began to discuss business: "Teleportation arrays cannot be purchased with spirit stones; they can only be exchanged for physical goods."

"In order to exchange for a few sets, the Weapon Saint Palace made a hundred disciples of the Array Saint Sect stay in Tang Valley for a month and also gave them a batch of rare minerals."

What can you offer in exchange?

Hua Changxi's heart tightened when she heard about the price the Artifact Saint Palace had paid: "Can I exchange it for a fourth-grade pill?"

Yan Zhenzhen shook her head: "The teleportation array that leads to the sealed space is a sixth-grade teleportation array; a fourth-grade pill won't suffice."

Hua Changxi fell silent after hearing this.

If the quality isn't good enough, make up for it with quantity.

Hua Changxi quickly listed the ten most commonly used pills by Nascent Soul cultivators: "I can pay for one hundred bottles of each."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhenzhen's eyelids twitched, and she quickly took out her One Thought Communication Device to send a message to the elders of the Array Saint Sect.

Ten kinds of pills, one hundred bottles of each, totaling one thousand bottles.

There aren't many fourth-grade alchemists, and almost no force can produce so many fourth-grade pills at once.

As expected, the Array Saint Sect quickly replied: "Only five sets of teleportation arrays can be exchanged."

Yan Zhenzhen relayed the decision of the Array Saint Sect to Hua Changxi.

Hua Changxi felt it was too little. Thinking that she was going to deliver the Karmic Fire Lotus fragment to Tong Yao later, she took out a small fragment: "Do you want this?"

Like Tong Yao, Yan Zhenzhen didn't recognize the Karmic Fire Fragment: "What is this?"

Hua Changxi: "Fragments formed after karma was burned."

Yan Zhenzhen's expression changed drastically: "Wait a moment, let me ask." She sent another message to the Array Saint Sect.

This time the response was even faster.

Yan Zhenzhen looked at Hua Changxi: "Do you have all of these fragments?"

Hua Changxi didn't say how many, but only said, "I need to replace five more teleportation arrays."

Yan Zhenzhen gave Hua Changxi a deep look, then picked up the One-Thought Communication device again to send a message.

Soon, Yan Zhenzhen told Hua Changxi the conditions of the Holy Sect: "Three fragments, each one hundred feet long and ten feet wide."

Hua Changxi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and immediately said, "I can give you the fragment now, but I will have to wait a while before I can give you the pills."

"Here's what we'll do: give me five sets of teleportation arrays first, and I'll give you the remaining five sets when I take out the pills."

Yan Zhenzhen consulted the Array Saint Sect again and, after receiving a positive reply, asked, "Will you come with me to the Array Saint Sect to get the teleportation array, or will you wait for me to bring it to you?"

Hua Changxi: "I'll go with you."
