Chapter 265

After Hua Changxi brought the retired Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers to the peak of Dan Yuan Peak, she watched more than ten people swear oaths. Seeing that there were still hundreds of people behind, she didn't want to spend the whole day on this, so she called Eunuch Zhao, who managed the Merit Hall, over.

"You take these hundreds of identity tokens, and you will supervise them swearing oaths in a while."

Eunuch Zhao took them solemnly: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task well."

There are restrictions on Dan Yuan Peak. If Hua Changxi doesn't open them, outsiders won't be able to come up. With the identity tokens placed here with Eunuch Zhao, she doesn't have to worry about any trouble.

Afterwards, Hua Changxi called Eunuch Zhou and Eunuch Jia and took them into the secret realm.

After entering the secret realm, Eunuch Zhou and Eunuch Jia were stunned to find that as far as the eye could see, it was an endless expanse of spirit herbs.

At this moment, both of them felt incomparably fortunate that they had chosen to follow Hua Changxi in the beginning.

The first level of the secret realm is divided into four regions: northwest, southwest, northeast, and southeast, bounded by the two spirit rivers running north-south and east-west.

Hua Changxi took Eunuch Zhou and Eunuch Jia to quickly inspect the first level of the secret realm, and then took them to focus on touring the southeast region.

"There aren't many apprentices now, so let's start development from the southeast region first."

"The first step is to pick the spirit herbs. After picking, they still need to be cleaned and processed."

"The second step is the allocation of medicine fields, as well as the management of the medicine fields and the planting of the next batch of spirit herbs."

Hua Changxi looked at Eunuch Zhou and said as they walked: "You are the manager of the Task Hall; you must have a clear idea of these things. Also, you must give me a charter as soon as possible on how to manage the Task Hall and how to allocate tasks."

Eunuch Zhou hurriedly replied: "Master, don't worry. I have managed relatively large medicine farms before, and I am quite familiar with these. I am already drafting the charter, and I will hand it to you as soon as it is done."

Hua Changxi said 'um': "Remember, when allocating tasks, you must be fair and just. Once the charter of the Task Hall is determined, it must be posted so that everyone can see it."

Hearing this, Eunuch Zhou began to feel pressure, and even Eunuch Jia's expression changed.

Before, when they were managers in the Miscellaneous Hall, many of the things ordered from above were hidden by them, and the miscellaneous workers below could only listen to their orders.

As long as the task was completed and the result was good, those above would not pursue how the process was done.

The people below didn't know anything, so it was easy to drive them.

Managers stuck in the middle could intercept most of the benefits, and as for when things went wrong, naturally, there were people below to take the blame.

Deceiving those above and hiding things from those below was their survival rule.

Now, this set of survival rules doesn't work here with the Master.

If the people below really knew everything, the pressure on them as managers would be great; not only would they be supervised by the people below, but they would also need to take on more responsibility.

Hua Changxi looked at Eunuch Jia again: "In the future, there will be more and more apprentices in the secret realm, and there will definitely be friction between them. You must also give me a charter on how to maintain the order of the secret realm as soon as possible."

Eunuch Jia hurriedly agreed.

Hua Changxi said as they toured: "After the newly recruited apprentices enter the secret realm, they will start working from the southeast region we are touring now."

"After the southeast region is managed well, we will then push to the southwest region, northwest region, and northeast region."

Eunuch Zhou and Eunuch Jia nodded, indicating they had noted it down.

Hua Changxi added: "After the recruited apprentices enter the secret realm, you can choose some helpers."

Eunuch Zhou: "Master, is there a limit to the number of people?"

Hua Changxi: "The Law Enforcement Hall, Task Hall, Logistics Department, and Merit Hall are all tentatively set at fifty people. If you need to increase manpower in the future, you must draft a charter for me and state the reasons. I will decide based on the situation."

Afterwards, the three continued to tour the secret realm, discussing some details of managing the secret realm as they went.

Since the appearance of Dan Yuan Peak, there has never been a shortage of people in the Medical Department square.

Seeing Hua Changxi take a group of retired Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers to fly to the peak of Dan Yuan Peak, the secret realm masters, the Qihuang Hall Pavilion Masters, as well as Prince Shou, Xia Zhen, and others also arrived at the square one after another.

At this moment, these people were all looking at Dan Yuan Peak from afar.

The foot of Dan Yuan Peak and the square are not level; it is at least a thousand meters lower than the square. Standing in the square and looking at the foot of Dan Yuan Peak is like standing on a cliff.

Prince Shou and Xia Zhen both sent cultivators to fly down, wanting to investigate the situation of Dan Yuan Peak, but who knew, they could only circle at the foot of the mountain and couldn't go up the mountain at all.

Seeing this, Xia Zhen said in a deep voice: "Dan Yuan Peak has restrictions, and outsiders cannot go up the mountain."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Eunuch Yu and his group who were opening up a mountain path on Dan Yuan Peak.

Prince Shou frowned and looked at Huo Yunxiao: "I heard that everyone who successfully joined the Dan Yuan Secret Realm yesterday received an identity token?"

Huo Yunxiao nodded: "Yes."

Xia Zhen heard this and smiled: "It seems that the identity token can not only enter and exit the Dan Yuan Secret Realm but also enter and exit Dan Yuan Peak."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Yunxiao noticed that the expressions of many people changed.

As the Demon-Suppressing Army soldier who deals with the most cases involving cultivators, he knows too well that some cultivators, in order to seize opportunities, have committed many murders and robberies.

Although those who joined the Dan Yuan Secret Realm are no longer Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers, he didn't want to see them being targeted by those with ulterior motives, so he immediately said: "The identity token and the person are bound one-to-one. Even if you accidentally get a token, if it's not that person, you can't activate the token."

Xia Ziyang looked over and smiled: "How does Fellow Daoist Huo know so clearly?"

Huo Yunxiao's expression was indifferent: "I tried it."

Everyone didn't know whether what he said was true or false, but they could also guess that it was probably useless to just seize the identity tokens of the Dan Yuan Secret Realm apprentices.

Unable to go up to Dan Yuan Peak to investigate, everyone didn't stay in the square for long. Xia Zhen took Xia Ziyang and the others back to the Spirit Realm Pavilion, while Prince Shou took Chu Junhao and the others to find Gu Xing.

"Senior Gu, this Prince thinks that Hua Changxi should be made to open the restrictions of Dan Yuan Peak and allow others to enter and exit freely."

Gu Xing glanced at Prince Shou and couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

Seeing this, although Prince Shou was angry, he still endured it: "Senior Gu, I am making this suggestion entirely for the sake of the revival of the holy land."

"Think about it, the holy land definitely has more than one mountain peak. After Dan Yuan Peak is opened, perhaps it will allow people to discover the opportunity to open other mountain peaks."

Gu Xing looked at Prince Shou: "This old man is just a gatekeeper, with a status like a guard watching the gate for the Imperial Palace; as for Hua Changxi, she is like an official with real power in the Six Ministries."

"Does the Prince think that court officials will listen to a gatekeeping soldier?"

Seeing that Prince Shou still wanted to say something, Gu Xing waved his hand: "Prince, don't make things difficult for this old man. When you didn't let Hua Changxi recruit apprentices before, couldn't I only watch?"

Prince Shou secretly hated Gu Xing for not knowing what was good for him, but he couldn't do anything to him, so he could only leave with a dark face. Walking out of the old courtyard, he said fiercely: "Go, go to the Spirit Realm Pavilion."

Since the stubborn old man didn't want to come forward, he would go find Xia Zhen. He didn't believe that Xia Zhen didn't want to go up to Dan Yuan Peak to investigate the situation.

Watching Prince Shou, who returned without success and was furious, walking towards the Spirit Realm Pavilion, Chu Junhao's mood was somewhat heavy.

The Imperial Family's control over the Medical Department is getting lower and lower. Now, to facilitate a matter, one must join forces with the Dao-protecting families.

On the other side, in the Dan Yuan Secret Realm, Hua Changxi took Eunuch Zhou and Eunuch Jia to finish touring the southeast region of the first level of the secret realm.

After Eunuch Zhou and Eunuch Jia had a bit of an idea about the situation on the first level of the secret realm, they left the secret realm to draft the operational management charters for the Task Hall and Law Enforcement Hall.

As for Hua Changxi, she did not leave the secret realm but went to clean and process the first-grade Yuanling grass picked last night.
