Chapter 234: The Era’s Pusher
‘Dan Sheng Hall Recruitment Announcement’
After Hua Changxi and Tong Yao parted ways, she returned directly to Number Thirteen Qihuang Hall and took out her brush, ink, paper, and inkstone to start writing the recruitment plan.
“I don’t think I can represent Dan Sheng Hall, can I?”
Hua Changxi thought for a moment and wrote ‘Secret Realm belonging to Dan Sheng Hall’ on the paper again.
“I need to name the secret realm first!”
Hua Changxi racked her brain, and after coming up with more than ten secret realm names, she finally settled on one she was somewhat pleased with.
Dan Yuan Secret Realm!
Among the first eighteen secret realms opened by Dan Sheng Hall, hers was the highest grade. It shouldn’t be too much to use the character ‘Yuan’, right?
Too lazy to think of other names, Hua Changxi directly wrote: Dan Sheng Hall Directly Affiliated Dan Yuan Secret Realm Recruitment Announcement!
Spiritual Energy Revival, the Pill Dao Flourishes!
Dan Sheng Hall, one of the Five Great Sacred Lands on the Central Continent of the Four Spirit Realm, enters the Dao through pills and aids the world with medicine. Dan Sheng Hall’s purpose is to “Refine Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine, Cultivate Supreme Pill Heart,” assisting cultivators in breaking through realms and overcoming tribulations, and saving all living beings from suffering.
Now that the Great Dao is prosperous and spiritual energy is reviving, Dan Sheng Hall’s Dan Yuan Secret Realm is widely recruiting apprentices, sincerely inviting aspiring individuals from all over the world to jointly create prosperity in the Pill Dao.

A magnificent Sacred Land, where the Pill Fire burns eternally. Dan Sheng Hall wishes to embark on the path to immortality with all those who aspire to achieve success in Medical Skills and the Pill Dao!
Hua Changxi reread the recruitment notice she had written. The core of the standards she had set was simple: to give an opportunity to cultivators who wanted to learn medicine and alchemy but had no way to seek guidance.
“This will do for now.”
This was just a general recruitment notice. The specific management system and details of the secret realm would definitely need to be refined gradually.
Hua Changxi put away the recruitment notice and contacted Tong Yao again.
At the same restaurant where they had met before, Tong Yao received Hua Changxi’s recruitment notice and was surprised again after reading it.
“Fellow Daoist Hua, aren’t your recruitment standards a bit too low?”
Dan Sheng Hall is a Sacred Land of the Pill Dao. Even when recruiting apprentices, the aptitude and spiritual roots should be top-tier, right?
Hua Changxi smiled and said, “It’s fine if the recruitment standards of other secret realm masters are high. Dan Sheng Hall needs geniuses to lead its development, but we can’t completely deny opportunities to those with less favorable spiritual root aptitudes.”
“My Dan Yuan Secret Realm can serve as a fallback.”
Upon hearing this, Tong Yao bowed to Hua Changxi: “Fellow Daoist Hua, I am far inferior to you.”
Before this, as the successor of Artifact Saint Palace, he was quite proud and self-satisfied due to his high talent, believing that only geniuses were worthy of entering Artifact Saint Palace. Now, after hearing Hua Changxi’s words, he felt that his conditions for recruiting disciples should also be relaxed.
Hua Changxi smiled and dodged: “Fellow Daoist Tong, you are too kind. I am merely acting on my own accord.”
Tong Yao looked at Hua Changxi, admiration flashing in his eyes.
Hua Changxi thought of her Sixth Brother: “Fellow Daoist Tong, since your Artifact Saint Palace is also recruiting, I would like to recommend someone to you.”
Tong Yao became interested: “Who?”
“It’s my Sixth Brother.”
Hua Changxi told Tong Yao about Hua Liulang: “My Sixth Brother has a Single Fire Spiritual Root and a straightforward personality. He likes artifact refining, but unfortunately, he has always been unable to find a master.”
After several interactions, Tong Yao’s recognition of Hua Changxi grew. Moreover, he wanted to maintain their cooperation. If Hua Changxi’s brother joined Artifact Saint Palace, their connection would become even closer.
“Since he is Fellow Daoist Hua’s brother, he must be exceptionally talented. If he is willing to join Artifact Saint Palace, why would Artifact Saint Palace refuse to accept him?”
Seeing that Tong Yao was willing to accept Hua Liulang, Hua Changxi’s face lit up: “Then I will call my Sixth Brother over now and let you meet him?”
Tong Yao nodded in agreement.
Hua Changxi sent a message to Hua Liulang and also called Hua Sanlang over.
Soon, the two arrived at the restaurant.
“Third Brother, Sixth Brother, this is Fellow Daoist Tong.”
“Fellow Daoist Tong, these two are my Third Brother and Sixth Brother.”
After Hua Changxi introduced the three, she left with Hua Sanlang, leaving the room to Tong Yao so he could interview Hua Liulang freely.
Hua Sanlang guessed that the Fellow Daoist Tong should be the Master that Jiu Niang found for his Sixth Brother. After leaving the restaurant, he asked, “Jiu Niang, why did you call me here?”
Hua Changxi looked at him: “Third Brother, do you want to work in the secret realm?”
Hua Sanlang thought to himself that his sister had finally remembered him, her Third Brother: “Of course, I do.”
Hua Changxi: “Although I am in charge of the secret realm now, it belongs to Dan Sheng Hall. If you want to enter the secret realm, you must take a Heart Demon Oath. As long as you are a member of Dan Sheng Hall for one day, you must prioritize Dan Sheng Hall’s interests.”
Hua Sanlang was no longer a cultivation novice and knew the power of the Heart Demon Oath: “Does everyone have to take a Heart Demon Oath?”
Hua Changxi nodded: “Yes, at least everyone entering the Dan Yuan Secret Realm under my charge must take a Heart Demon Oath.”
Hua Sanlang looked at his sister: “Is it necessary?”
Hua Changxi nodded.
Hua Sanlang looked hesitant, but thinking of the resources needed for cultivation, he still agreed: “Okay, I’ll take it.”
Seeing his solemn expression, Hua Changxi smiled: “Third Brother, you don’t need to be too concerned about taking the Heart Demon Oath. As long as you don’t violate the oath, nothing will happen.”
Hua Sanlang knew this, but the Heart Demon Oath was still a form of restraint.
Hua Changxi: “Third Brother, you’ve worked at the Hua Family Apothecary Shop since you were young. When you enter the secret realm, I’ll give you a Steward position. However, if you don’t do a good job, I will dismiss you.”
Hua Sanlang chuckled: “I know. In our family, you, Jiu Niang, are the most impartial. Don’t worry, I am your subordinate now and will follow your orders from now on.”
Hua Changxi looked at Hua Sanlang. Although he spoke with a smile, she could still detect a hint of resentment, but she didn’t say anything.
“The teleportation array and identity tokens for entering and exiting the secret realm have not been made yet. I will notify Third Brother once these are ready.”
Hua Sanlang seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, Hua Changxi did not ask proactively.
After some hesitation, Hua Sanlang finally spoke: “Jiu Niang, you need manpower to manage the secret realm. The clan can send some people to help you.”
“You are, after all, a daughter of the Hua family. It’s not good to completely sever ties with the clan.”
Hua Changxi looked at him: “Third Brother, I will soon post the recruitment announcement at the Medical Affairs Department. If any Hua Clan members wish to learn Medical Skills and alchemy, they can come and register.”
Upon hearing this, Hua Sanlang’s face lit up: “When will you post the recruitment announcement?”
Hua Changxi: “It’s not decided yet. Have the Hua Clan members keep an eye on the movements of the Medical Affairs Department.”
