Chapter 234: The Pusher of the Era (Part Three)

"Pill Saint Hall Recruitment Notice..."

After parting ways with Tong Yao and the others, Hua Changxi returned directly to Qihuang Hall No. 13, where she laid out brush, ink, paper, and inkstone to begin drafting the recruitment plan.

"It seems I cannot represent the Pill Saint Hall myself?"

Hua Changxi thought for a moment, then rewrote on the paper: "Secret Realms under the Pill Saint Hall..."

"I must first give the secret realm a name!"

Hua Changxi racked her brains, and after brainstorming more than ten names for the secret realm, she finally settled on one that suited her.

Danyuan Secret Realm!

Among the first eighteen secret realms opened by the Pill Saint Hall, hers was of the highest grade; using the character 'Yuan' (Origin) should not be excessive, right?

Too lazy to think of other names, Hua Changxi immediately put brush to paper: Pill Saint Hall Directly Affiliated Danyuan Secret Realm Apprentice Recruitment Notice!

Spiritual Qi is reviving, and the Dao of Pill Refining is rising!

The Pill Saint Hall, one of the Five Sacred Lands in the Central Continent of the Four Spirit Realms, enters the Dao through pills and saves the world with medicine. With the mission of "Refining the spiritual herbs of heaven and earth to cultivate a supreme pill heart," the Pill Saint Hall aids cultivators in breaking through realms and surviving tribulations, saving all living beings from illness and suffering.

Now that the Great Dao flourishes and the spiritual qi of heaven and earth revives, the Danyuan Secret Realm of the Pill Saint Hall widely recruits apprentices, sincerely inviting ambitious individuals from across the world to jointly create prosperity in the Dao of Pill Refining.

Target demographic for recruitment: All cultivators possessing a Wood Spiritual Root, with no restrictions on the quantity of spiritual roots, age, or cultivation realm.

Apprentice training directions: 1. Apprentice to Spiritual Herb Planter; 2. Apprentice to Spiritual Herb Processor; 3. Apprentice to Healer to Pill Master.

Apprentice benefits and treatment:

1. Apprentices may reside permanently within the secret realm.

2. Each apprentice is initially allocated five mu of medicinal fields; apprentices retain fifty percent of the yield, while the remainder is submitted in exchange for contribution points.

3. All apprentices shall have the opportunity to learn Spiritual Herb Identification, Spiritual Herb Planting, Spiritual Herb Processing, and Pill Refining techniques.

4. One bottle of Grade-One Yuanling Pill per month.

Recruitment requirements:

1. A healer's benevolent heart, with aspirations focused on the Dao of Pills.

2. Pure character; upon becoming an apprentice, one must swear a Heart Demon Oath, promising not to harm the interests or reputation of the Pill Saint Hall, and must place the interests of the Sacred Land above all else; violators will be expelled from the Sacred Land.

3. Resilient character and a desire for improvement; all apprentices undergo an assessment every three months, and those who fail four consecutive times must leave the secret realm.

4. Abide by the management regulations of the secret realm and be willing to contribute strength to the development of the Pill Saint Hall.

Registration method:

Time: Starting immediately.

Process: Test spiritual root → Swear Heart Demon Oath → Enter secret realm.

A towering Sacred Land with the pill fire burning eternally; the Pill Saint Hall wishes to walk the path of immortality alongside all those ambitious to achieve greatness in medical arts and the Dao of Pills!

Hua Changxi reviewed the recruitment notice she had written several times; the core of the standards she established was simply one thing: to give those cultivators who wished to study medicine and pill refining but had no path to learning a chance.

"Let's leave it like this for now."

This was only a rough recruitment notice; the specific management of the secret realm would certainly need to be gradually refined.

Hua Changxi put away the recruitment notice and contacted Tong Yao once again.

At the same restaurant where they had previously met, Tong Yao received Hua Changxi's recruitment notice; after reading it, he felt surprised once more.

"Fellow Daoist Hua, are your recruitment standards not too low?"

The Pill Saint Hall is a sacred land of the Pill Dao; even when recruiting apprentices, shouldn't their aptitude and spiritual roots be of superior quality?

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "It is sufficient for the masters of other secret realms to have high recruitment standards; for the Pill Saint Hall to develop, it needs geniuses to play a leading role, but it cannot completely deny opportunities to those whose spiritual root aptitude is not so outstanding."

"Consider my Danyuan Secret Realm as the safety net."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yao actually bowed to Hua Changxi: "Fellow Daoist Hua, I fall far short of you."

Before this, as a successor of the Artifact Saint Palace, he had been proud and arrogant in his heart, believing that only geniuses were worthy of entering the Artifact Saint Palace; yet after hearing Hua Changxi's words, he felt he should also relax the conditions for recruiting disciples.

Hua Changxi smiled and sidestepped the gesture: "Fellow Daoist Tong, you exaggerate; I merely acted according to my whims."

Tong Yao looked at Hua Changxi, admiration flashing in his eyes.

Hua Changxi thought of her sixth brother: "Fellow Daoist Tong, since your Artifact Saint Palace is also recruiting, I would like to recommend someone to you."

Tong Yao became interested: "Who?"

"It is my sixth brother."

Hua Changxi explained Hua Liulang's situation to Tong Yao: "My sixth brother possesses a single Fire Spiritual Root and has the most upright character; he loves artifact refining, but unfortunately, he has always had no path to learning."

After several interactions, Tong Yao's approval of Hua Changxi grew higher and higher; furthermore, he wished to maintain their cooperation, and if Fellow Daoist Hua's brother joined the Artifact Saint Palace, their connection would become even tighter.

"Since he is Fellow Daoist Hua's brother, he must be a person of extraordinary talent; if he is willing to enter the Artifact Saint Palace, how could the Artifact Saint Palace refuse to accept him?"

Seeing that Tong Yao was willing to accept Hua Liulang, Hua Changxi's face lit up with joy: "Then I will call my sixth brother over immediately for you to meet?"

Tong Yao nodded in agreement.

Hua Changxi sent a message to Hua Liulang and simultaneously summoned Hua Sanlang as well.

Soon, both of them arrived at the restaurant.

"Third Brother, Sixth Brother, this is Fellow Daoist Tong."

"Fellow Daoist Tong, these two are my Third Brother and Sixth Brother."

After introducing the three of them, Hua Changxi took Hua Sanlang away, leaving the room for Tong Yao so he could interview Hua Liulang at his leisure.

Hua Sanlang guessed that Fellow Daoist Tong must be the master Ninth Sister had found for his Sixth Brother, so after leaving the restaurant, he asked, "Ninth Sister, why did you call me here?"

Hua Changxi looked at him: "Third Brother, do you want to enter the secret realm to work?"

Hua Sanlang thought to himself that his sister had finally remembered him, his Third Brother: "Of course I am willing."

Hua Changxi said, "Although I am currently managing the secret realm, it belongs to the Pill Saint Hall; if you wish to enter the secret realm, you must swear a Heart Demon Oath. As long as you are a member of the Pill Saint Hall, you must prioritize its interests above all else."

Hua Sanlang was no longer a novice in cultivation and knew the power of the Heart Demon Oath: "Does everyone have to swear a Heart Demon Oath?"

Hua Changxi nodded. "Yes, at the very least, anyone entering the Danyuan Secret Realm under my jurisdiction must swear a Heart Demon Oath."

Hua Sanlang looked at his sister. "Must they really swear it?"

Hua Changxi nodded.

Hua Sanlang hesitated for a moment. "Very well, I will swear it."

Hua Changxi smiled. "Third Brother, once you enter the secret realm, I will appoint you as a steward. However, if you fail to perform your duties, I will dismiss you."

Hua Sanlang laughed helplessly. "I know; among our family, Ninth Lady, you are the most impartial and unyielding. Rest assured, now that I am your subordinate, I will heed your commands in the future."

Hua Changxi glanced at Hua Sanlang; although his words carried a smile, she still detected a hint of resentment, yet she said nothing.

"The teleportation array for entering and exiting the secret realm and the identity tokens have not yet been crafted. Once these are ready, I will inform Third Brother."

Hua Sanlang seemed hesitant to speak, fidgeting for a while before finally saying, "Ninth Lady, since managing the secret realm requires manpower, the clan can dispatch some people to assist you."

Hua Changxi replied, "Third Brother, soon I will issue a recruitment notice at the Medical Bureau. Any member of the Hua clan who wishes to study medicine or pill refining may register."

Hearing this, Hua Sanlang's face lit up with joy. "When will you issue the recruitment notice?"

Hua Changxi said, "It is not yet decided. Tell the Hua clansmen to keep a close watch on developments at the Medical Bureau."
