Chapter 299: Are They Our Own People?

After seeing the new apprentices, Hua Changxi returned to the bamboo house and called Zhou Shou from the Task Hall and Jia Lu from the Law Enforcement Hall.

"Master."

Hua Changxi handed the resumes of Ye Lingxuan and the nine others to the two: "Keep a close eye on these nine people and see who they have contact with."

Zhou Shou and Jia Lu took the resumes and looked at them, their faces showing surprise.

"Third-rank pill refiner!"

"Third-rank processing master!"

"Third-rank spiritual planter!"

"The talent of these people is so high!"

Hua Changxi pondered for a while and said: "The tasks for these nine people...... all arrange them to pick, clean spiritual herbs, and reclaim medicine fields."

She wanted to see what these people were trying to do by joining Pill Origin Peak? Could they endure the first wave of hardship?

Zhou Shou and Jia Lu immediately agreed: "Master, don't worry, we will keep an eye on these people."

Hua Changxi thought of the Nascent Soul cultivation of Ye Lingxuan, Jiang Henian, and Dugu Lie. If she was not at Pill Origin Peak, the cultivation of Yu Fu and the others was too low to suppress them at all.

"Tonight, call Yu Fu and Zhao Xi, and my third brother......"

She hesitated for a moment, but did not call Pharmacist Xu. First, Pharmacist Xu's embarking on the path of cultivation had nothing to do with her; second, Pharmacist Xu and Wan Feng were both in the Personnel Department, so it was inevitable that they would reveal traces in their actions.

"Tonight, the five of you come to the bamboo house together. I have something to say."

Zhou Shou and Jia Lu agreed and went to busy themselves with their own affairs.

Hua Changxi began to prepare the spiritual herbs needed for the body-refining medicinal bath and the ancestral-returning medicinal bath. When night fell, a row of rooms on the right side of the bamboo house each had a wooden barrel filled with emerald green medicinal bath soup.

The higher one went up Pill Origin Peak, the richer the spiritual Qi, but apprentices opening caves could only choose locations below the mountainside, and strictly followed the principle of first come, first served.

Because Hua Sanlang was not one of the first batch of people to join the Pill Origin Secret Realm, the location of the cave he opened was a bit remote, and the soil quality of the spiritual field outside the cave was not very good.

Every time he returned to the cave, it was the time when Hua Sanlang felt blocked in his heart.

Nothing else, every time he passed the caves of the first batch of apprentices, feeling the rich spiritual Qi in the air and looking at the vibrant spiritual herbs and plants outside the caves, he was both regretful and angry.

Regretful that he didn't join the Pill Origin Secret Realm in the first batch, and angry that Hua Changxi, this sister, really treated him, the biological third brother, the same as other apprentices.

Hua Sanlang arrived outside his cave, checked the spiritual herbs planted, and after confirming that they were growing well, he prepared to return to the cave.

"Sanlang."

Yu Fu found him: "Master is looking for you, come with me to see her quickly."

Hua Sanlang looked surprised. He had been at Pill Origin Peak for so long, and this was the first time Jiuniang had taken the initiative to find him: "Manager Yu, what is Jiuniang looking for me for?"

Yu Fu smiled: "You'll know when you go."

Hua Sanlang didn't say anything else and followed Yu Fu to the bamboo house at the peak.

After the two left, a graceful figure walked out of a lush spiritual rice field not far away.

Zhu Qinghuan looked at the backs of Hua Sanlang and Yu Fu disappearing, her eyes deep: "Almost really thought Hua Changxi didn't care about family affection at all."

Although Yu Fu only came to find Hua Sanlang after nightfall, there were too many people paying attention to Hua Sanlang. Not only Zhu Qinghuan, but also Chu Junhao, Hua Hongrui, Hua Shuran, and others saw the two go to the peak.

Although he went in and out of the secret realm at the peak of Pill Origin Peak every day, this was the first time Hua Sanlang came to Hua Changxi's bamboo house. Looking at Yu Fu, who was familiar with the road, he felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Sanlang and Old Yu are here!"

Jia Lu, Zhao Xi, and Zhou Shou had already arrived. Seeing Yu Fu and Hua Sanlang coming, they all greeted them with smiles.

After the five greeted each other, Hua Changxi walked out of the bamboo house.

"Master!"

Hearing the address of Yu Fu and the four, Hua Sanlang's heart moved. Looking at the sister who was becoming more and more elegant and refined, her face was a bit obscure: "Jiuniang."

Hua Changxi walked to the stone table and sat down, let Hua Sanlang and the five sit down, and then said: "During this period, Pill Origin Peak has recruited many apprentices. What do you think about this?"

Yu Fu and the four looked at each other, thinking that Hua Changxi called them here to discuss how to manage the apprentices.

And Hua Sanlang was happy in his heart, thinking that there were too many people on Pill Origin Peak, Yu Fu and the four couldn't manage them, and Hua Changxi was going to arrange a position for him.

Yu Fu spoke first: "There are more and more apprentices, and each department is afraid that it will need to recruit a batch of deacons and menial servants."

Hua Sanlang quickly expressed his position: "Jiuniang, as long as there is something you need third brother for, just speak."

Hua Changxi: "...... What about the others? Nothing else to say?"

Jia Lu hesitated: "Master, there are more apprentices, and the law enforcement team of the Law Enforcement Hall must be expanded, and it must be greatly expanded, so that we can ensure the stability of Pill Origin Peak and the secret realm."

Hua Changxi nodded: "Finally, we are talking about the point." She paused.

"Among the apprentices recruited in the past two months, there are many people with profound cultivation. As managers, do you have any means to restrain them?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Yu Fu and the four became serious and solemn. Even Hua Sanlang fell silent.

Hua Changxi asked again: "In the future, there will be more and more talents on Pill Origin Peak. Can you always sit firmly in the position of manager?"

Yu Fu and the four looked at each other, then stood up and bowed to express their position: "Master, don't worry, we will definitely work hard to improve our cultivation and study medical skills and the Dao of pills."

Hua Sanlang was a beat slow, and followed: "I will also work hard."

Hua Changxi looked at Yu Fu and the four: "You don't have spiritual roots and can only refine your body. In the Nascent Soul realm and below, body cultivators are not weaker than Dharma cultivators."

"But after entering the Spirit Platform realm, Dharma cultivators cultivate divine consciousness, and body cultivators will begin to be suppressed by Dharma cultivators. If you want to have the strength to fight, body cultivators can only bless themselves from other aspects."

"Fortunately, the bloodlines in your four bodies have a certain degree of ancestral return. As long as the degree of ancestral return is high enough, there is a possibility of obtaining ancestral return supernatural powers."

Hearing this, Yu Fu and the four all showed joy.

Hua Changxi shook her head: "I can see that you four are diligent in body refining, but your qualifications are not good, so you have only refined to the second chapter of the 'Nine Turns Profound Art' until now."

"Nowadays, the apprentices on Pill Origin Peak have just been recruited and are not familiar with anything, so they are still obedient. You, who have strength equivalent to Qi Sea realm cultivators, can still suppress the apprentices. But after a few years, you, with low strength, will definitely not be able to convince the public."

Hearing this, Yu Fu and the four were all anxious.

"Master, qualifications are determined by heaven, we can't help it!"

Hua Changxi: "Qualifications are not unchangeable. It depends on whether you can carry it?"

Yu Fu and the four nodded fiercely: "We can carry it!"

Hua Sanlang was surprised: "Can qualifications be improved?"

Hua Changxi looked at him: "After you have attainments in medical skills and the Dao of pills, you will know that everything is possible." After speaking, she looked at Yu Fu and the four.

"In the future, every other day, you come to the bamboo house to soak in a medicinal bath. The body-refining medicinal bath and the ancestral-returning medicinal bath will take turns. I will give you acupuncture to help you clear your meridians and enhance your absorption of medicinal power."

"The medicinal baths in bamboo houses No. 1 to No. 4 have been prepared. Go in and soak."

Yu Fu and the four thanked her again and again before walking into the bamboo house seriously and solemnly.

Watching the four enter the bamboo house, Hua Sanlang asked impatiently: "Jiuniang, since there is a way to improve qualifications, why don't you help the family?"

Here it comes again!

A look of annoyance flashed in Hua Changxi's eyes, and her face turned cold: "If I told the family the method of improving qualifications, can you guarantee that the family won't spread it out?"

Hua Sanlang opened his mouth and wanted to say "can," but when the words reached his lips, he suddenly thought of the body-refining technique Jiuniang passed to them initially, and not long after, it was handed over to the clan by his grandfather.

Hua Changxi sneered and continued to ask: "Improving qualifications is not an easy task. It requires a lot of resources. Do you supply these resources, or do I supply them?"

Hua Sanlang opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond. Finally, he stiffened his neck and said: "Yu Fu and the four are outsiders. In your heart, is the family not as good as outsiders?"

Hua Changxi was too lazy to continue entangling with Hua Sanlang and said directly what was in her heart: "Yes, in my heart, the Hua family is not as good as the four of them."

Hua Sanlang looked at Hua Changxi in disbelief: "How can you be so......"

Hua Changxi: "What's wrong with me? I help Yu Fu and the others because I can get back equal returns. They can help me manage Pill Origin Peak."

Hua Sanlang countered: "The family can also help you."

Hua Changxi sneered: "Help me? What you call helping me is making various demands and requests of me in the name of 'for my own good,' eventually realizing your own ambitions and goals."

"Before the Pill Origin Secret Realm recruited apprentices, I said I wanted to give every cultivator who wanted to learn medical skills and pill refining a chance. At that time, how did you and the family do it?"

"You first scoffed at my idea, and then pointed fingers and asked me to take care of the Hua clan members."

"Is this what you call helping me?"

"Is this really helping me, or is it fulfilling your own ambitions and goals?"

Hua Changxi became more and more angry: "Pill Origin Peak entrusts my ideals. I use Yu Fu and the others, and they can do things completely according to my ideas and requirements. The current Pill Origin Peak is the look I want to create."

Hua Sanlang was still refuting: "We can too. It's you, it's you who treated us coldly first. If you had spoken properly, how could we......"

"You go."

Hua Changxi didn't want to continue talking and drove him away directly.

Hua Sanlang was stunned.

Hua Changxi looked at him: "When I first entered the Medical Department, seeing the people above appointing people by favoritism, I was very unconvinced."

"But after I started managing Pill Origin Peak, I found that I was no different from them, and I couldn't help but want to arrange my own confidants in core positions."

"You are my brother. I thought that no matter what, we are our own people, but I found I was wrong. Blood relationship is not enough to judge whether someone is our own people."

"Third brother, how long you can stay at Pill Origin Peak in the future, and what position you can climb to, I will not interfere. Everything depends on yourself."

After speaking, Hua Changxi entered the bamboo house, leaving Hua Sanlang standing foolishly outside. ===== CHAPTER 300 =====
