Chapter 266

After Hua Changxi cleaned the tens of thousands of first-grade Yuanling grass picked last night, she did not leave the secret realm immediately but picked all the Yuanling grass in the entire southeast region, and only after cleaning them did she leave the secret realm.

At this time, it was near evening, and all the retired Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers she brought up today had finished swearing their heart-demon oaths.

There were 1,000 retired Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers sent by Wei Zhenjie, and in the end, only 720 passed the oath monument test and became apprentices of the Dan Yuan Secret Realm.

As soon as Hua Changxi left the secret realm, Eunuch Zhao handed her the remaining identity tokens.

"Master, those who didn't pass were already led away from Dan Yuan Peak by Eunuch Yu earlier. The apprentices who passed have now all joined the team opening up the mountain path."

Hua Changxi put away the tokens and rode a cloud to fly towards the foot of Dan Yuan Peak with Eunuch Zhao.

Hundreds of people, and they were all cultivators; although these cultivators were generally at the Qi Refining stage and some were disabled, the speed of opening up the mountain path was still quite fast.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Hua Changxi said to Eunuch Zhao: "Let them finish work."

After Eunuch Zhao left, Hua Changxi began to inspect the foot of the mountain.

She only had a rough understanding of the full picture of Dan Yuan Peak; for the specific details of Dan Yuan Peak, she still had to investigate them before she could have a more intuitive understanding.

Hua Changxi stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the square a thousand meters above with flickering eyes.

The terrain of Dan Yuan Peak is actually so much lower than the square!

Hua Changxi circled the foot of the mountain and found that whether it was north or south, it was blocked by an invisible force.

Since mastering the 'Crack' space law power, she has become increasingly sensitive to spatial fluctuations. She can perceive spatial barriers on the north, south, and east sides of Dan Yuan Peak.

Where she encountered spatial barriers, she also discovered some traces of formations.

If she is not mistaken, there should be other mountain peaks around Dan Yuan Peak, and these mountain peaks are also covered and isolated by formations.

This discovery made Hua Changxi's mood fluctuate somewhat.

She can make Dan Yuan Peak manifest by setting up an oath monument to recruit apprentices for the Dan Saint Hall, so can other secret realm masters make other mountain peaks manifest by emulating her?

Hua Changxi setting up the oath monument and recruiting apprentices was under huge threat and coercion from the outside world. Now, thinking of other secret realm masters who don't have to do anything or bear anything, and can get a mountain peak just by emulating her, she felt somewhat stifled.

But she also knew that this was the general trend of the revival of the holy land, which could not be changed by human effort.

After being indignant for a while, Hua Changxi threw the matter aside. She has always followed one principle in doing things: control what you can control, and let nature take its course for what you cannot control.

Hua Changxi explored towards the south of Dan Yuan Peak and found that the terrain trends downwards as one goes south.

The square is already so much higher than the foot of the mountain, and the terrain is still going down. She is a bit confused about what the terrain and appearance of the Dan Saint Hall actually are.

On the west side of the foot of the mountain, Hua Changxi also discovered a huge deep pit.

Observing its shape and the situation of the surrounding mountains, this should have been washed out by water falling from a high place.

This deep pit should have originally been a water pool.

After Hua Changxi finished investigating the foot of the mountain, she went up to Dan Yuan Peak and investigated the entire mountain peak from bottom to top.

Except for a few spring eyes on the mountainside and the peak that were slowly condensing spirit springs, most of Dan Yuan Peak was very barren.

Perhaps because too much time had passed, except for some obvious traces of fighting, Hua Changxi did not find any valuable information.

During the investigation, Hua Changxi made marks on some flat places, preparing to build palaces and pavilions for the Personnel Department, Logistics Department, Lecturer Hall, Task Hall, Merit Hall, and Law Enforcement Hall in these places.

After investigating the entire mountain peak, it was completely dark. Hua Changxi did not return to the No. 13 Qihuang Hall but flashed into the fourth level of the secret realm and then took the teleportation array to Lingguang Hall.

Although she really wanted to handle the affairs of Dan Yuan Peak and the Dan Yuan Secret Realm quickly, she also knew that it couldn't be completed in a short while, so she couldn't delay her cultivation for this.

A night passed.

The sun was high, Hua Changxi finished her cultivation and teleported back to the Dan Yuan Secret Realm.

At the peak of Dan Yuan Peak, Eunuch Zhao and dozens of Hua clansmen had long been waiting in front of the oath monument.

Hua Changxi originally thought that after the appearance of Dan Yuan Peak, many people would come to sign up to join the Dan Yuan Secret Realm. Who would have thought that except for the Hua clansmen, there was no one else.

"Jiuniang."

Seeing his sister arrive, Hua Sanlang's expression turned joyful, and he walked quickly to her: "We came to sign up yesterday, who knew you weren't there."

Hua Changxi first looked at the Hua clansmen in front of the oath monument, and then let her gaze fall on Hua Sanlang: "Third Brother, do you all understand the conditions and requirements for joining the Dan Yuan Secret Realm?"

Hua Sanlang nodded: "We understand. Pharmacist Xu explained it to us very carefully."

Seeing Hua Changxi's business-like manner, even though Hua Sanlang was her brother, he felt somewhat uneasy inside.

Jiuniang holds grudges. When she was recruiting apprentices before, she was boycotted by Prince Shou and the others, and the Hua clansmen did not stand up to support her at the first opportunity. She must be unhappy.

Hua Changxi took out dozens of identity tokens and handed them to Eunuch Zhao, saying: "Do what you did yesterday, do the same today, and it will be the same in the future."

Eunuch Zhao, who was unsure what attitude to treat the Hua clansmen with, felt steady inside as soon as he heard this.

The Master saying this means that there is no need to give the Hua clansmen special care.

Moreover, no matter who comes in the future, just follow the rules.

Hua Changxi did not stay long at the peak. With Eunuch Zhao supervising the Hua clansmen swearing heart-demon oaths, she went down the mountain to find Eunuch Yu.

Seeing Hua Changxi leave just like that without leaving any words, Hua Sanlang felt both disappointed and stifled.

He thought that as a blood relative, he should be the one his sister trusted the most. Who would have thought that she would rather let a eunuch supervise them than let him supervise.

Hua Changxi didn't know the complaints in Hua Sanlang's heart, and even if she did, she wouldn't pay attention.

Although she personally dislikes being restrained, she also knows that an organization must have rules and regulations; otherwise, let alone development, even basic stability cannot be guaranteed.

She doesn't want to entrust important tasks to her family, just because she is worried that her family will use family affection to override the rules and regulations and hinder management.

At the foot of the mountain, after Hua Changxi found Eunuch Yu, she picked up a tree branch, drew a rough map of Dan Yuan Peak on the spot, and then pointed to some places and talked to Eunuch Yu.

"I have made marks on these places."

"Now, besides opening up the mountain path, you also need to arrange a batch of people to build palaces and pavilions."

The No. 13 Qihuang Hall is too close to other Qihuang Halls. If there is any trouble, it will soon be spread everywhere. Hua Changxi doesn't want to be watched, so she wants to set the recruitment location directly at the foot of Dan Yuan Peak.

"First build a courtyard at the foot of the mountain specifically for recruiting apprentices."

"After it is built, then build the Logistics Department."

"The Logistics Department, besides the place for storing materials, must also build a canteen."

"Afterwards, the Lecturer Hall, Task Hall, Merit Hall, and Law Enforcement Hall will be built in order."

The Personnel Department, Logistics Department, Lecturer Hall, Task Hall, Merit Hall, and Law Enforcement Hall are built in order up the mountain on Dan Yuan Peak. The Personnel Department is at the foot of the mountain, while the Law Enforcement Hall is already above the mountainside.

"Also, the location for apprentices to open up cave dwellings can only be below the mountainside. To open up cave dwellings above the mountainside where the spiritual energy is richer, one must first become an alchemist or physician."

After Eunuch Yu noted it down, he hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry. The Logistics Department is in charge of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. I will lead people to build these palaces and pavilions as soon as possible."

Hua Changxi wanted to say something else, but suddenly, in the southeast direction of Dan Yuan Peak, a mountain peak one-fifth shorter than Dan Yuan Peak appeared out of thin air.

"This is..."

Hua Changxi's expression lifted, and she immediately flew to the peak of Dan Yuan Peak. Before she could figure out which secret realm master had caused the newly appeared mountain peak, another mountain peak appeared.

"How could this be?!"

On the Dan Ding Altar square, Meng Qingyao was full of disbelief, while Gu Xing was thoughtful.

That's right, the two suddenly appearing mountain peaks were activated by Meng Qingyao and Gu Xing.

Meng Qingyao looked at Gu Xing urgently: "Senior Gu, why are our mountain peaks so much shorter than Dan Yuan Peak?"

Gu Xing looked at her: "Because ours are secondary peaks, while Dan Yuan Peak is the main peak."

Meng Qingyao found it hard to accept: "Why is it like this?"

Gu Xing glanced at her and did not respond.

What else could it be? It must be that the secret realm grade Hua Changxi obtained is above theirs!

Gu Xing can now be sure that the Dan Yuan Secret Realm in Hua Changxi's hands is an eighth-grade secret realm.
