Chapter 297: Attracting Talent

Poaching people from Pill Origin Peak, the various secret realm masters were still a bit guilty, especially when Hua Changxi appeared at the gate of the Medical Department for the first time, looking at them recruiting apprentices with a blank expression. Many secret realm masters had the embarrassment of being caught stealing.

Fortunately, Hua Changxi only came once and never appeared again afterwards.

By the time the recruitment had been going on for a few days and each secret realm master had recruited some excellent talent, the bit of guilt in their hearts vanished.

During this period, Pill Origin Peak had been quiet. Just when all the secret realm masters thought Hua Changxi would swallow this bitter pill, people from Pill Origin Peak approached the Spirit Realm Pavilion.

For this reason, Pavilion Master Meng Qingyao held another secret realm master meeting.

In the conference hall of the Spirit Realm Pavilion, the secret realm masters arrived one after another. Every time someone came in, they would look at the person sitting in the first seat to the right below the main seat.

"A mere apprentice, who let you sit there?"

Xia Ziyang was the first to attack. A seat was not just a place to sit; it also represented the status, position, and prestige of the person sitting there.

Usually, when holding meetings, the Sixteen Elders would sit in the first seat on the left. To show respect, the seat on the right had always been empty.

People from Pill Origin Peak sat opposite the seat Xia Zhen sat in as soon as they arrived. Although Xia Zhen was not there today, the cultivators on the guardian family side were very unhappy.

Wan Feng was calm and said with a smile: "Although I am an apprentice, I represent Pill Origin Peak and the Pill Origin Secret Realm."

Xia Ziyang frowned: "Even if you represent Pill Origin Peak, you are not qualified to sit there."

Wan Feng smiled: "In terms of contribution to the Palace of the Pill Saint, is it possible that anyone present is better than my Peak Master?" As he spoke, he stopped paying attention to Xia Ziyang and looked at Meng Qingyao with a smile.

"Pavilion Master, is it that what the Spirit Realm Pavilion values most is not contribution, but closeness and distance?"

As soon as these words came out, many people's eyelids twitched. They thought, as expected of someone under Hua Changxi, the way of speaking is equally tough and equally merciless.

Meng Qingyao looked at Wan Feng, doubt flashing in her eyes.

The people Hua Changxi could use had long been investigated clearly by all parties. This Wan Feng had never entered anyone's eyes before.

Nothing else, this person was just a medicine boy assigned to the No. 13 Qihuang Hall by the Medical Department, and one without connections or background.

But his performance today was very surprising.

A nobody, in front of them, these secret realm masters, where did he get the confidence and confidence?

Given by Hua Changxi?

"The Spirit Realm Pavilion naturally values contribution to the Holy Land. Hua Changxi is undoubtedly the head of all secret realm masters."

These words seemed to affirm Hua Changxi, but when hearing the undisguised cold snorts and sneers of other secret realm masters, Wan Feng smiled again: "Pavilion Master, you are too flattering."

"Only eighteen secret realms of the Holy Land have been opened so far. It is too early to talk about who is the head of the secret realm masters."

"I know the Pavilion Master values my Peak Master, but don't put her on the fire to roast."

"Look, many people are not convinced."

Meng Qingyao: "......"

Other secret realm masters: "......"

Looking at Wan Feng, who was as indifferent to people's lives as Hua Changxi, Mu Qingying wanted to laugh. Worried that she couldn't control her facial expressions, she quickly lowered her head.

Wan Feng didn't care about everyone's reaction. He stood up with a smile and took out the "expenses" Hua Changxi spent on purchasing display spiritual weapons and the resources handed over to the imperial court due to "cultivators entering the capital."

Wan Feng first gave a copy to Meng Qingyao, and then distributed it to all secret realm masters one by one.

"Forgot to congratulate all secret realm masters. You have recruited many excellent disciples these days, right?"

"The matter of cultivators from various places entering the capital was promoted by my Peak Master together with other Holy Lands. What you are holding in your hands is the 'expenses' she advanced."

"Everyone has benefited, so you should share all the expenses together."

Looking at the bill in their hands, all secret realm masters knew Wan Feng's purpose. It turned out he was here to ask them for resources.

Xia Ziyang had just been humiliated and sneered: "What if we are not willing?"

Wan Feng's smile remained unchanged, but looking at the silent crowd, his eyes were a bit cold: "The Divine Wood bestowed the secret realm. What do you think it means?"

"I know some people think that because they are in charge of the secret realm, the secret realm is their own."

"However, here, I want to be annoying and break everyone's illusions."

"The Divine Wood bestowed the secret realm. It is an opportunity given to you by the Divine Wood, allowing you to distribute the resources inside to build and develop the Holy Land."

Wan Feng looked around at the secret realm masters: "Except for Pill Origin Peak, the secret realm masters of other secret realms can all be replaced."

Hearing this, everyone's face changed.

Meng Qingyao's eyes shot at Wan Feng: "You, an apprentice, actually know quite a lot."

Wan Feng smiled: "All the secret realm masters must know what I know. I am just reminding everyone."

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Ziyang.

"Building the Holy Land depends entirely on one's heart. How you want to do it...... is up to you."

The reason why the five guardian families were able to get the Divine Wood to bestow the secret realm was only because of the merit of guarding the Dao. When these people exhausted their merit, everything not obtained by strength would be taken back.

Meng Qingyao knew that Pill Origin Peak was the reasonable side this time, and was very straightforward: "Go back and tell Peak Master Hua that all expenses for recruiting apprentices will be shared by all secret realm masters."

Wan Feng smiled: "The Pavilion Master is still wise and righteous. By the way, Pavilion Master, don't forget to arrange for all secret realm masters to patrol the East City area."

After Meng Qingyao agreed to the patrol, Wan Feng, who had won a complete victory, smiled and went back to report.

After he left, Meng Qingyao determined the resources each secret realm master should pay and provide according to the grade of the secret realm they possessed. After doing this, she dismissed the meeting.

When she came out of the conference hall, she saw Xia Zhen standing in the courtyard.

"Sixteen Elders."

Xia Zhen looked at her: "You did the right thing by agreeing to Hua Changxi to share the expenses."

Meng Qingyao felt a bit uncomfortable: "It's just a little resource. If you give it, you give it. It's just that this feeling of being pushed by Hua Changxi is very bad."

"The Wan Feng who appeared today is also surprising."

Xia Zhen sighed, showing sorrow: "This is what I worry about. I worry that more and more people like Wan Feng will appear around Hua Changxi in the future."

Meng Qingyao was stunned, a bit puzzled.

Xia Zhen sighed faintly: "People all worship the strong, and Hua Changxi is undoubtedly a strong person, and a strong person willing to give everyone a chance. Such a person is very attractive to excellent talent to follow."

Meng Qingyao opened her mouth to say something, but finally fell silent.

At Pill Origin Peak, Hua Changxi listened to Wan Feng's report. Learning that he had persuaded the people of the Spirit Realm Pavilion to share the expenses, a look of confusion also surged in her eyes.

The people of the Spirit Realm Pavilion privately poached the registered cultivators. This practice was not only shameless but also didn't take her seriously at all.

Wan Feng was just an ordinary deacon of the Personnel Department. He went to the Spirit Realm Pavilion once and easily persuaded those shameless people?

This ability...... is not small!

A flash of spiritual light crossed Hua Changxi's eyes. She used the look, listen, ask, and feel technique to probe Wan Feng again.

Fire and wood spiritual roots, and the purity of the spiritual roots is quite high.

Seeing the Golden Core floating on Wan Feng's dantian, Hua Changxi's eyes flickered. If she remembered correctly, this person was just a Qi-refining cultivator when he first arrived at the No. 13 Qihuang Hall.

In about a year, he had improved two major realms. His talent and comprehension were indeed not low.

"You completed this task very well. From today on, you are promoted to the manager of the Personnel Department, responsible for all affairs of the Personnel Department together with Pharmacist Xu."

Wan Feng looked happy: "I will definitely not fail the Peak Master's expectations." ===== CHAPTER 298 =====
