Chapter 375: Peak Structure Complete

The Vermilion Bird Order and the "Vermilion Army Register" were bound together as a set; to forge a Vermilion Bird Order, a refiner would inevitably need to use the "Vermilion Army Register." Hua Changxi naturally would not reveal the "Vermilion Army Register" in front of the Artifact Saint Palace, so she could only give up on the idea of asking the Artifact Saint Palace to forge a Vermilion Bird Order.

After parting with Tong Yao, Hua Changxi headed straight for the Karma Fire Platform.

Along the way, she kept thinking about the Vermilion Bird Order.

To forge the Vermilion Bird Order, she definitely could no longer seek outsiders; the one to forge it could only be her own people.

Her own people...

Hua Changxi's eyes flickered. The current Vermilion Army numbered nearly seventy thousand; among so many people, there must be a few fourth-grade refiners, right?

Amidst her scattered thoughts, she arrived at the Karma Fire Platform.

Hua Changxi took three times as many Karma Fire Lotus fragments as last time. By then, the sky was beginning to darken.

With the emergence of the Artifact Saint Palace and the Xuanyuan Mansion, as well as the anomalies in Nanxiang County, the territory south of the capital was undergoing visible changes. The land area expanded day by day, so much so that the time spent traveling grew increasingly longer.

Hua Changxi could only deliver the Karma Fire Lotus fragments to Tong Yao at the Artifact Saint Palace tomorrow. After leaving the Karma Fire Platform, she returned directly to Lingguang Hall.

It had only been three months since the Vermilion Army took over security in Nanxiang County, yet someone dared to impersonate the Vermilion Army. This gave Hua Changxi a great headache.

On one hand, this exposed the issue of equipment shortage in the Vermilion Army; on the other hand, it also revealed the problem of insufficient strength.

The Karma Fire Platform burns karma and illuminates inner demons, greatly aiding in the improvement of mental state and helping cultivators break through bottlenecks.

The Nine Heavens Fire Spring is an excellent place for body refinement.

Hua Changxi decided to start arranging for the Vermilion Army to train in the Karma Fire Platform and the Nine Heavens Fire Spring in the near future.

However, before that, in order to avoid attracting attention from all sides, she would need to set up a teleportation formation first.

Hua Changxi immediately sent a message to Yan Zhenzhen, arranging to meet her the next day. After receiving Yan Zhenzhen's agreement, she took out several dozen prepared Thought Connectors and used spiritual power to send them to the hands of various department managers and thousand-man commanders.

The managers and thousand-man commanders of Lingguang Hall were all startled. When they saw clearly that they were Thought Connectors, they immediately understood that it was the hall master's doing. Then, without prior consultation and with great tacit understanding, they each dripped blood to claim ownership and activated the Thought Connector.

Hua Changxi 'watched' this scene with her divine sense. After everyone had activated theirs, she again used spiritual power to send her No. 3 Thought Connector to each manager and thousand-man commander, asking them to add her as a friend.

The Thought Connector that Tong Yao gave her, which could connect to the signal of the Nine Nether and Nine Barriers, was Hua Changxi's Phone No. 1. She only added family members, Tong Yao, Yan Zhenzhen, and Jing Le to it.

She also had a Phone No. 2, which added the people from the Dan Saint Hall and Danyuan Peak.

Phone No. 3 was used to handle affairs of Lingguang Hall.

She also prepared a Phone No. 4 to handle affairs of Five Finger Mountain.

Soon, all the managers and thousand-man commanders had finished adding friends.

Hua Changxi retrieved the Thought Connector, and then directly sent a task message to everyone: compile a count of refiners in the Vermilion Army.

After receiving this message, the various responsible persons, recalling the recent impersonation of the Vermilion Army incident, immediately understood what the hall master intended to do.

Su Yu: "But even if we gather refiners, without a refining site and refining equipment, we still can't do anything, can we?"

Yun You: "This is not something we need to worry about. We just need to do the tasks the hall master assigns."

After assigning the task of gathering refiners, Hua Changxi teleported back to Danyuan Secret Realm without pause.

On the fourth floor of the secret realm, Xiao Xuan had already processed a large batch of fourth-grade spiritual herbs.

The Mo Yin Bamboo stacked outside the bamboo huts had also been made into bamboo slips by Ye Lingxuan and several others. The bamboo slips filled several bamboo huts.

"Sigh..."

At Lingguang Hall, there was training the Vermilion Army, forging equipment for the Vermilion Army, and searching for treasured lands; at Danyuan Peak, there was refining pills, engraving bamboo slips, and unlocking Branch Halls No. 10 to 18.

At this moment, Hua Changxi wished she could clone herself into several avatars, feeling that there were matters everywhere; she was about to become a spinning top.

But no matter how annoyed she was, she still had to handle things one by one.

Hua Changxi sent a message to the group of four including Yu Fu. While waiting for them, she took out prepared blank bamboo slips and began to engrave with divine sense the "Complete Collection of Third-Grade Spiritual Plants," "Third-Grade Pill Formulas," "Complete Collection of Fourth-Grade Spiritual Plants," and "Fourth-Grade Pill Formulas."

She planned to first engrave a thousand copies of each, enough for the disciples of Danyuan Peak to exchange.

If it were insufficient in the future, she would have to wait until the disciples of Danyuan Peak advanced to the Spiritual Altar realm and let them do the engraving.

As for the "Complete Collection of First-Grade Spiritual Plants," "Complete Collection of Second-Grade Spiritual Plants," "First-Grade Pill Formulas," and "Second-Grade Pill Formulas," she engraved one copy of each, to keep as originals for people to borrow and copy.

She had just engraved one copy of the "Complete Collection of Third-Grade Spiritual Plants" when Yu Fu and the other three arrived.

Seeing that the strength of the four had all improved, Hua Changxi was satisfied. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she went straight to the point: "In the three months I was in seclusion, did anything happen at Danyuan Peak?"

Yu Fu and the other three shook their heads: "Master, everything is fine at Danyuan Peak, but something major happened at the Medical Department."

Hua Changxi looked over: "What major thing?"

Yu Fu: "The Lingjing Pavilion, Qihuang Pavilion, and Jiujie Hall are jointly hosting an Alchemy Convention, saying it's to promote the exchange of medical arts and alchemy."

"They sent out invitations in the name of the Dan Sacred Hall."

Jia Lu added: "As the Guardian Clan, the Xia family knows about the various cultivation families and sects across the land, and the imperial family also knows many hidden clans. With their combined effort, reportedly, nearly a thousand invitations have already been sent out."

Hua Changxi looked surprised: "Does Great Jin really have that many families and sects?"

Yu Fu: "Not just Great Jin—it seems to be from the entire Central Continent."

Upon hearing this, Hua Changxi sighed: "That's quite an undertaking." She paused. "The Dan Sacred Hall hasn't even revealed itself yet—is it appropriate to hold an Alchemy Convention at this time?"

Yu Fu and the other three exchanged looks, hesitating.

In the end, it was Yu Fu who spoke: "Master, we think the Xia family probably wants to build momentum for Meng Qingyao."

After hearing this, Hua Changxi was silent for a moment, then shook her head dismissively and said: "Just keep an eye on this matter—no need to get too involved. We have our own important work to focus on."

Yu Fu and the other three: "..."

The Dan Sacred Hall's first Alchemy Convention—wasn't that important business?

Why did it feel like their master was treating herself as an outsider?

Hua Changxi looked at the four: "From now on, I may frequently go into seclusion, and I cannot control how long each seclusion lasts. So when I'm away, the four of you must guard Danyuan Peak well."

"The urgent tasks are: first, you must work hard to improve your strength; second, ensure the normal operation of Danyuan Peak; third, urge the disciples of Danyuan Peak to advance their medical arts, alchemy, and cultivation."

"As long as Danyuan Peak's strength is solid enough, no matter how turbulent the outside world becomes, we can stand undefeated."

After hearing this, Yu Fu and the other three solemnly agreed.

Afterwards, Hua Changxi flipped through the departmental summaries submitted by Yu Fu and the others, while discussing with the four the supplementary arrangements for the managers of each department.

Three months ago, she had wanted to finalize Danyuan Peak's organizational structure early, but unexpectedly got delayed at Lihuo Cliff for three months.

She would definitely continue to search for the blessed cave-heaven of Nanxiang City in the future—who knew how long the next one might take? She could only seize the time to set Danyuan Peak in order.

After a night of discussion, the next day, Hua Changxi promoted Yu Fu and the other three to hall masters, and assigned Ye Lingxuan and the other eight to serve as managers under them.

For the managerial positions in each department, depending on the volume of work, enough managers were arranged, and all vacancies were fully filled.

Danyuan Peak: Law Enforcement Hall → Mission Hall: Cultivation Department, Processing Department, Alchemy Department, Intelligence Department, External Affairs Department → Merit Hall → Logistics Department: Finance Department, Procurement Department, Warehouse, Board & Lodging Department, Resources Department → Personnel Department: Assessment Department, Lecture Hall, Reception Office → Library

Each Department: Hall Master → Deputy Hall Master → General Manager → Manager → Ordinary Clerk → Apprentice Disciple

From then on, Danyuan Peak's structure was completely finalized.
