Chapter 253: The Pushers of the Era (22)

The secret realm masters felt dissatisfied with Hua Changxi erecting the Oath Stele, and other factions within the Medical Division felt the same, with the imperial relatives represented by Prince Shou being the most extreme.

Now that the Imperial Family could still legitimately manage the Medical Division, Prince Shou naturally wanted to use the power of the imperial court to obtain the greatest benefits for the Imperial Family.

According to Prince Shou's original plan, at least fifty percent of the apprentices recruited by the Danyuan Secret Realm should be personnel inserted by the Imperial Family.

But now, Hua Changxi had come up with an Oath Stele, causing all their previous plans to fall through.

Cultivators value oaths. Once an oath is made, those inserted into the secret realm would all put the Holy Land first. Could they still be considered their people?

Prince Shou was already extremely annoyed because he had been pressed to his knees under the Cauldron Altar for a night, and now that Hua Changxi had pulled this stunt, it directly ignited his anger.

"Does Hua Changxi really think the Medical Division is under her control?"

"This Prince has tolerated her jumping around for so long, and she has no self-awareness at all. Does she really think the Imperial Family cannot crush her, this ant?"

Chu Junhao looked at Prince Shou in a rage, feeling anxious in his heart, worried that he would do something extreme, and hurriedly looked at Prince Fu, who was drinking tea slowly on the side.

Receiving Chu Junhao's plea for help, Prince Fu slowly put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Prince Shou: "What a big deal, look at how angry you've become."

After speaking, he waved his hand and summoned his subordinates.

"Pass the order down: no one is allowed to go to Hua Changxi to sign up, otherwise, it is acting against the imperial court."

Chu Junhao heard this, his expression wavering, and after a moment, he said uncertainly: "Will others listen?"

Prince Fu curled his lips and said affirmatively: "They will."

"We are not the only ones who want to get their hands on the secret realm in Hua Changxi's hands. Others have their own little thoughts, and even the Xia family does not want to see Hua Changxi's spotlight overshadow Meng Qingyao."

"Just wait and see, Hua Changxi won't be able to recruit a single person!"

"Unless..."

"Unless she removes the Oath Stele!"

Although Prince Fu spoke with full confidence, Chu Junhao was not very optimistic in his heart.

Ever since he learned that Hua Changxi and Hua Changxin were twins, he had been closely following Hua Changxi's every move.

Although Hua Changxi's actions seemed willful and reckless, in essence, it was because she was somewhat stubborn and only did what she had decided.

If Hua Changxi had decided that entering the Danyuan Secret Realm required taking an oath first, then no matter how they pressured her, she might not compromise.

If it were someone else, facing the joint pressure from the Imperial Family and other noble families, they might weigh the pros and cons, but Hua Changxi was the type who would truly fight to the end.

Moreover, in many things, Hua Changxi was also someone who would not play by the rules. Who knew what method she would come up with to resist?

Chu Junhao was very worried that Prince Fu's calculations would eventually fall through, and at the same time, it might make Hua Changxi resent the people of the Imperial Family.

He truly wanted to win Hua Changxi over.

A person who is stubborn in their actions, if they can be used for one's own purposes, is actually a very great help.

Sigh...

Chu Junhao sighed silently in his heart. In front of Uncle Prince Fu and Uncle Prince Shou, there was no room for him to speak. The difficulty of him befriending Hua Changxi was likely to increase again.

The Imperial Family's efficiency was very high. Soon, all parties in the Medical Division received the order issued by Prince Fu.

Just as Prince Fu had expected, all parties were very cooperative, launching their own abilities to jointly boycott Hua Changxi's recruitment of apprentices.

Before the Danyuan Secret Realm Oath Stele, Gu Xing looked at the content on the stele with a complex expression.

Given the current complex situation in the Medical Division, after he took charge of the three public secret realms, the first thing he thought of was also to cultivate his own personnel.

He privately thought that his body and mind belonged to the Holy Land, so the power he cultivated also belonged to the Holy Land.

However, is that really the case?

Is there really no difference between cultivating one's own power and cultivating disciples for the Holy Land?

Behind Gu Xing stood Xia Zhen, who was also silent.

As someone from a guardian family, although he had the selfish intention of seeking profit for his family in his heart, he truly wanted to protect the continuity of the Four Spirit Realm's orthodoxy and wanted the Four Spirit Realm to develop and grow.

Hua Changxi erecting the Oath Stele, to be honest, was completely beyond his expectations.

He truly did not expect that someone from a grassroots background would have such a breadth of mind.

'Sigh, perhaps it is precisely because of her grassroots background that Hua Changxi made such a decision.'

Because she is grassroots, she doesn't know what fame and fortune are, which is why she is so willing to be so decisive.

"Sigh..."

"Sigh..."

Gu Xing and Xia Zhen exhaled a long breath at the same time, then looked at each other.

Xia Zhen smiled: "Little friend Hua seems to have offended the public this time."

Gu Xing: "Offended the public?"

"Can a small handful of people represent everyone?"

"Why do I feel that Hua Changxi has done something that everyone will applaud?"

The smile on Xia Zhen's face faded, and he was silent for a moment: "Little friend Hua's heart is good, but, Fellow Daoist Gu, how long do you think this Oath Stele can stand in the plaza?"

Gu Xing's expression changed, and it was a long time before he spoke: "No one can stay in a high position forever without falling. This is the law of the world's operation, and no one can stop it."

After hearing this, Xia Zhen's eyes flickered. Just as he wanted to say something else, he saw the four medicine boys of the No. 13 Qihuang Hall carrying tables, taking chairs, and shouldering wooden signs as they passed through the plaza.

"What are they doing?"

Given that Hua Changxi had given him too many surprises, Xia Zhen hurriedly waved his hand and called Pharmacist Xu and the four over.

Seeing that it was Xia Zhen summoning them, Pharmacist Xu and the four came to the Oath Stele trembling.

Xia Zhen looked at them: "What are you going to do?"

Gu Xing on the side was also very curious.

Pharmacist Xu replied: "We are following the Hall Master's order to set up a registration location for recruiting apprentices at the main gate of the Medical Division."

As he spoke, he stood up the wooden sign he was carrying on his shoulder so that Xia Zhen and Gu Xing could see the content on it.

At this time, Gu Xing and Xia Zhen saw the words written on the wooden sign: "Recruitment Announcement for the Danyuan Secret Realm Directly Under the Pill Saint Hall!"

Recruitment Announcement for the Danyuan Secret Realm Directly Under the Pill Saint Hall!

Spiritual energy recovery, the Dao of Pills is flourishing!

The Pill Saint Hall, one of the five major Holy Lands of the Four Spirit Realm's central continent, enters the Dao through pills and saves the world through medicine. The Pill Saint Hall's tenet is "refining the spiritual herbs of heaven and earth, cultivating the supreme pill heart," assisting cultivators in breaking through realms and crossing tribulations, and saving the common people from illness and suffering.

Now that the Great Dao is flourishing and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is recovering, the Danyuan Secret Realm of the Pill Saint Hall is widely recruiting apprentices, sincerely inviting aspiring people from all over the world to create the prosperity of the Dao of Pills together.

Target audience for recruitment: All cultivators with wood spirit roots, no limit on the number of spirit roots, no limit on age, no limit on cultivation realm.

Apprentice cultivation direction: 1. Apprentice -> Spiritual Herb Planter; 2. Apprentice -> Spiritual Herb Processor; 3. Apprentice -> Pharmacist -> Alchemist.

Apprentice benefits and treatment:

1. Apprentices can reside in the secret realm.

2. Each apprentice is initially allocated five mu of medicine fields. Apprentices keep fifty percent of the produce, and the rest is turned in to exchange for contribution points.

3. All apprentices have the opportunity to learn spiritual herb identification, spiritual herb planting, spiritual herb processing, and alchemy.

4. In the first year of entering the Danyuan Secret Realm, one bottle of first-grade Yuan Spirit Pill per month.

Recruitment conditions:

1. A benevolent heart for medicine, with aspirations in the Dao of Pills.

2. Pure character. After becoming an apprentice, one must take an inner demon oath, must not damage the interests and reputation of the Pill Saint Hall, must put the interests of the Holy Land first, and violators will be expelled from the Holy Land.

3. Resilient character, motivated to improve. All apprentices will be assessed every three months. Those who fail four consecutive times will leave the secret realm.

4. Comply with the management system of the secret realm and be willing to contribute to the development of the Pill Saint Hall.

Process: Test spirit roots -> Take inner demon oath -> Enter secret realm

The majestic Holy Land, the pill fire shines long. The Pill Saint Hall is willing to step on the path of longevity with all those who aspire to achieve success in medicine and the Dao of Pills!

After Gu Xing and Xia Zhen finished reading, they fell silent again.

Hua Changxi's conditions for recruiting apprentices were really... too simple!

Excluding the need to take an inner demon oath, with her conditions for recruiting people, the vast majority of cultivators could become apprentices and enter and exit the secret realm.

Hua Changxi really did achieve the equal dissemination of the Dao of Pills and medical arts!

At this moment, even Xia Zhen could not pick out any faults.

Gu Xing waved his hand at Pharmacist Xu and the four, signaling that they could leave.

Seeing this, Pharmacist Xu and the four left quickly.

Because the four of them passed through the plaza and the Ninth Street openly, by the time they arrived at the main gate of the Medical Division, many people inside the Medical Division already knew Hua Changxi's conditions for recruiting apprentices.

Earlier, when Hua Changxi erected the Oath Stele, because of the fear of taking an inner demon oath, many people had retreated without needing the Imperial Family and the nobles to stop them.

But once these recruitment conditions and the benefits and treatment for apprentices came out, the ordinary cultivators were instantly boiling with excitement. ===== CHAPTER 254 =====
