Chapter 264

After Hua Changxi gave instructions for everything, she returned to the alchemy room, then activated the divine tree leaf in her dantian and flashed into the Dan Yuan Secret Realm.

Bringing people to swear oaths to join the Dan Yuan Secret Realm this time really made her both surprised and happy.

What surprised her was the manifestation of the Undying Divine Tree.

What made her happy was that she not only became the Peak Master of Dan Yuan Peak but also obtained a Holy Pill, as well as a new salary wood branch from the Undying Divine Tree.

Hua Changxi felt the salary wood branch in her dantian and the Holy Pill in her sea of consciousness, and her mood was quite pleasant.

Apart from these unexpected gains, the commotion caused today was enough to break the boycott against her jointly initiated by Prince Shou and the others.

Now, many people within the Medical Department should want to join the Dan Yuan Secret Realm.

Time in the secret realm is the same as in the outside world. Seeing that it was already dark and thinking that she still had to recruit hundreds of retired Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers tomorrow, Hua Changxi decided not to return to Lingguang Hall to cultivate tonight.

Hua Changxi quickly took out the remaining nine thousand plus identity tokens and began to brand the 'Yuan' character on them one by one.

Two hours passed, and all identity tokens were branded.

There were still more than three hours until dawn. Hua Changxi pondered for a moment and prepared to refine pills.

【Third-grade Alchemist (Superb Pill): Alchemy 1508 furnaces 1508/】

Looking at the alchemy grade that had not improved, Hua Changxi was also a bit helpless. After the new year, she had been busy and had no time to refine pills at all.

"Once the matter of recruiting apprentices stabilizes, I must quickly improve my alchemy grade."

Now, she had to seize the time to refine a batch of first-grade spirit pills promised to the apprentices.

There were many mature first-grade spirit herbs on the first level of the secret realm, and Hua Changxi began to pick the Yuanling grass for refining first-grade Yuanling pills.

She did not do it herself directly but controlled her spiritual power to pick them. As a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, she was very fast at picking, and by dawn, she had picked tens of thousands of first-grade Yuanling grass.

Each level of the Dan Yuan Secret Realm had two spirit rivers, one running north-south and one running east-west.

Hua Changxi looked at the mountain-like pile of spirit herbs in front of her and had a headache; there wasn't enough time.

Although she recruited dozens of apprentices yesterday, they had to open up roads on Dan Yuan Peak today, so she had to clean and process these spirit herbs all by herself.

"Must quickly cultivate a batch of apprentices."

Otherwise, if she had to rely on herself for everything, she would be exhausted to death.

Seeing that it was already broad daylight, Hua Changxi flashed out of the secret realm. As soon as she left the alchemy room, she saw Pharmacist Xu and the others waiting in the Qihuang Hall.

"Are the resumes of all retired Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers filled out?"

Pharmacist Xu stepped forward and replied: "They are all filled out."

Hua Changxi nodded: "That's fine. Everyone will go up to Dan Yuan Peak together in a while." She paused, "Where are Eunuch Yu and the others?"

Pharmacist Xu: "Manager Yu has already taken the apprentices recruited yesterday up to Dan Yuan Peak to work."

After hearing this, Hua Changxi was very satisfied with Eunuch Yu's initiative. She looked at Pharmacist Xu: "Uncle Xu, from now on, you will be the manager responsible for recruiting secret realm apprentices."

Hearing this, Pharmacist Xu's expression turned joyful: "Jiuniang... Pavilion Master, don't worry, I will definitely do my job well."

Seeing Hua Shuran and the others looking at her eagerly, Hua Changxi continued: "From now on, you seven will follow Manager Xu and do things, listening to his instructions."

Hearing this, the expressions of Hua Shuran and the seven others suddenly dimmed.

Hua Changxi ignored them and took the hundreds of retired Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers away from the No. 13 Qihuang Hall.

Watching their receding backs, Hua Shuran, Hua Wanyue, He Siqi, and He Sirong looked at each other helplessly, regret flashing in the eyes of all four.

They never expected that Hua Changxi would turn the tables so quickly.

Yesterday, everyone was still avoiding her, but now, they wanted to curry favor, but they could no longer enter Hua Changxi's eyes.

Zhu Yu looked at Pharmacist Xu, whose joy was overflowing, and suddenly said: "Manager Xu, the Pavilion Master didn't let the eight of us go up to Dan Yuan Peak to swear oaths. Are we considered people of the Dan Yuan Secret Realm?"

Pharmacist Xu's expression paused, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

Zhou Bin: "Qihuang Hall is Qihuang Hall, and the secret realm is the secret realm. Perhaps in the Pavilion Master's heart, we are just medicine boys of the No. 13 Qihuang Hall."

Zhu Yu looked at Pharmacist Xu: "Manager Xu, the Pavilion Master values you. Can you ask the Pavilion Master?"

Pharmacist Xu knew that Hua Changxi was wary of them as medicine boys, and he also knew that Zhu Yu and the others were all planted by other forces. He knew even better that Hua Changxi arranged for him to be the manager out of their past friendship.

He didn't want to consume the relationship between him and Hua Changxi for the sake of Zhu Yu and the others, so he smiled vaguely: "If there is a chance, I will ask the Pavilion Master."

Seeing that everyone was depressed, Pharmacist Xu added: "If we do the things the Pavilion Master has ordered well, I believe she will recognize everyone. If we can't even complete the tasks assigned, then we really won't have a chance to stay by the Pavilion Master's side."

Just then, the communication talisman at Hua Shuran's waist moved. Soon, she walked toward Pharmacist Xu: "Manager Xu, the Hua clansmen are coming to sign up, and among them is the Pavilion Master's brother."

Pharmacist Xu immediately smiled: "The Pavilion Master has ordered that everyone can come to sign up. You go and welcome them."

Hua Shuran thanked him and took Hua Wanyue out of the No. 13 Qihuang Hall.

Watching their backs, Pharmacist Xu shook his head. The Hua clansmen did not stand up to support Hua Changxi at the first opportunity, so they probably wouldn't get much good out of it.

On the other side, Hua Changxi did not directly ride a cloud to fly the hundreds of retired Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers up to Dan Yuan Peak, but took them walking across the square, and only then rode a cloud to fly to the peak of Dan Yuan Peak.

After others noticed this scene, they all paid their respects with their eyes.

On the second floor of the Spirit Realm Pavilion, Meng Yuchuan looked at Hua Changxi and her group walking swaggeringly across the square and immediately snorted coldly: "This Hua Changxi really doesn't miss any opportunity to show off."

In the room, besides Meng Qingyao, there were also the brothers Dongfang Hao and Dongfang Xu.

Dongfang Hao: "Perhaps, she doesn't want to show off."

Hearing this, Meng Yuchuan was immediately unhappy: "Brother Hao, why do you always speak for Hua Changxi?"

Dongfang Hao's expression did not fluctuate at all because of Meng Yuchuan's words: "I am just stating the facts."

Meng Qingyao spoke up: "Brother Hao, have you discovered something?"

Dongfang Hao: "I once saw in an ancient book that squares with altars are forbidden from flying."

Meng Yuchuan's expression stiffened, then he said coldly: "This Hua Changxi is too insidious. Since she knew that flying was forbidden in the square, why didn't she tell everyone?"

Seeing Meng Yuchuan like this, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his eyebrows.

Dongfang Xu couldn't bear it at all and sneered directly: "Hua Changxi said it, would you listen? I see that when the time comes, you'll have other things to arrange against Hua Changxi."

Meng Yuchuan's face was ugly: "You..."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Meng Qingyao stopped them quickly and looked at Dongfang Hao: "I am going to emulate Hua Changxi in setting up an oath monument to recruit apprentices."

Hearing this, Dongfang Hao expressed his approval. Seeing Meng Qingyao's somewhat lonely expression, he comforted her: "In cultivation, what one pursues is to go long and far; occasional gains and losses don't count for anything."
