The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 433, Just Being Generous
As the physicians and alchemists of the Dan Sheng Temple filed down the spaceship, Hua Changxi and other secret realm masters followed closely behind, walking off the spaceship at a leisurely pace.

Those who were favored by the Divine Tree of the Pill Saint Hall and appointed as masters of the secret realm were all exceptionally talented individuals. However, the gazes of the stewards of the Lingguang Hall swept over everyone else and landed directly on Hua Changxi.

Aside from wanting to find out if she was really the Lord of Lingguang Palace, it was simply because Hua Changxi's outstanding and independent demeanor was so penetrating.

From the spaceship to the gate of Lingguang Palace, a short distance, she calmly swept her gaze across the entire area, neither arrogant nor timid, like a monarch inspecting his territory, with an invincible sense of control.

Now, the stewards who originally thought Hua Changxi was too young to be the Lord of Lingguang Palace all hesitated and wavered.

The steward of Lingguang Palace was sizing up Hua Changxi, and Hua Changxi's gaze was also openly sweeping back and forth between them.

She had never met these managers face-to-face.

She came to Lingguang Palace openly to treat patients for two reasons: first, she was genuinely worried about the injuries of the Vermilion Bird Army; second, she also wanted to get to know the stewards and commanders of Lingguang Palace more closely.

Soon, Hua Changxi frowned.

Yang Zhaoye, the manager of the Discipline Hall, Luo Xingyao, the manager of the Training Hall, and Duan Jishan, the manager of the Martial Arts Hall, were all seriously injured.

A black aura was coursing through the bodies of all three, and that black aura was eroding their spiritual roots and dantian.

Especially Yang Zhaoye, whose black energy had condensed into chains, tightly binding his nascent soul, causing it to dim and become listless.

Yang Zhaoye and the other two felt very uncomfortable under Hua Changxi's sharp gaze. After all, the claim that 'Hua Changxi is the Palace Master of Lingguang Palace' was just a rumor, and its authenticity could not be confirmed. Putting that aside, Hua Changxi only represented the Dansheng Palace.

As stewards of Lingguang Palace, how could they possibly save face when they were being stared at by an outsider on their own turf?

"Cloud Manager".

"Sect Master Meng."

Yun You and Meng Qingyao had already exchanged pleasantries, and then they began to introduce each other to their respective people.

After the steward of Lingguang Hall and the master of the secret realm of Dansheng Hall got to know each other, Yun You led the people of Dansheng Hall into the archway gate with the three gilded characters 'Lingguang Hall' engraved on it.

As they passed through the gate tower, everyone in the Dan Sheng Temple held their breath and focused their attention.

Neither the imposing aura emanating from the gate tower nor the stone tablet of the Vermilion Bird Army's discipline standing next to it dared to act recklessly.

Upon entering the gatehouse, the first thing that catches the eye is the magnificent pyramid-shaped palace complex.

The main hall soars into the clouds, bathed in clouds that never dissipate. The other halls extend downwards like steps, with the lowest palace dozens of meters above the ground. The red walls and vermilion eaves outline a majestic silhouette under the sunlight.

This magnificent and awe-inspiring sight, as seen by everyone in the Dan Sheng Palace, made Ling Guang Palace appear as if it were a torch standing on the earth, illuminating Nanxiang City and, at the same time, the Central Continent.

"This is the Lingguang Palace!"

The people of the Dan Sheng Temple looked up at the palace complex that pierced the clouds, their expressions solemn.

The solemnity and grandeur of the Lingguang Hall made them feel a sense of oppression, as if a mountain were pressing down on them.

Hua Changxi also carefully felt this solemnity and oppression. In the past, she usually flew straight into the main hall or used the teleportation array to travel back and forth. She had never approached it step by step like this before.

After a brief moment of shock, the group continued walking forward.

"Who are those people?"

After shifting their attention from the palace complex, the people of the Dan Sheng Temple immediately focused on the hundreds of cultivators who were covered in flames as they made their way forward in the square. Further ahead, on the steps outside the Transmission Hall, more than ten people were struggling to climb.

Yun You explained with a smile, "These are all cultivators who have come to enlist in the Vermilion Bird Army and are undergoing trials." Upon hearing this, Meng Qingyao quickly asked, "When I got off the spaceship just now, I saw a lot of outside cultivators gathered outside the Lingguang Palace. Are they all here to join the Lingguang Palace?"

Yun You nodded, a proud look on her face: "Ever since the Palace Master swiftly repelled the invading Phoenix Clan and quickly occupied the Wutong Forest, Lingguang Palace has seen a surge in the number of cultivators joining."

"The number of cultivators you see undergoing trials today is relatively small. There were far more people who wanted to join the Lingguang Palace and become members of the Vermilion Bird Army not long ago."

As she spoke, Yun You's gaze swept quickly over Hua Changxi, and seeing that she looked exactly like she was visiting Lingguang Palace for the first time, her eyes flickered slightly.

Is this person really not the temple master?
Suppressing her doubts and turning her gaze away, Yun You continued to smile at Meng Qingyao and the other secret realm masters, saying, "However, this scene will soon come to an end."

Meng Qingyao asked in surprise, "Why?"

Yun You smiled and said, "Lingguang Palace only recruits 100,000 Vermilion Bird soldiers."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qingyao and the others understood.

Yan Qianying, who came from the Dong'an Prince's Mansion, one of the four great non-royal princely mansions of the Great Jin Dynasty, exclaimed in surprise: "The Vermilion Bird Army has recruited 100,000 people so quickly?"

Yun You nodded with a smile, and the other stewards of Lingguang Palace also smiled smugly.

Yue Heng from the Xiping Prince's Mansion also asked, "Are all the Vermilion Bird Army soldiers single-fire spiritual roots?"

Yunyou nodded again.

The people from the Dan Sheng Temple all showed expressions of disbelief.

It's not surprising that Lingguang Palace recruited 100,000 Vermilion Bird soldiers, but the fact that all 100,000 Vermilion Bird soldiers had single fire spiritual roots is no simple matter.

In fact, not only did outsiders find it unbelievable, but even the stewards of Lingguang Hall found it somewhat incomprehensible.

Yan Qianying glanced at Hua Changxi discreetly, then sighed, "The Lord of Lingguang Palace has a broad mind, which is why so many cultivators with single-fire spiritual roots are eager to join him."

Hua Changxi sensed everyone's scrutiny and replied frankly, "Actually, it has nothing to do with how big one's mind is; it's mainly that the Lord of Lingguang Palace is generous enough."

"Being taught the Vermilion Bird Divine Technique upon entry, and having the prestige of the Vermilion Bird Army to back you up, this temptation is too great for cultivators without a foundation, background, or cultivation path."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but her calm demeanor only made those who were already puzzled even more confused.

After crossing the mountain gate square, Yun You led everyone up the steps: "The wounded have all been placed in the training hall..."

As soon as they stepped onto the steps, faint shouts of battle came from the martial arts hall above. The Vermilion Bird Army was training in formation, and the murderous aura emanated from the air, causing the people of the Pill Saint Hall to be secretly alarmed.

"coming!"

Dozens of temporary medical tents had already been set up in the square outside the training hall.

The wounded Vermilion Bird soldiers had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw the stewards leading the people from the Dan Sheng Temple, they all straightened their backs.

As soon as Hua Changxi arrived at the square with Yun You and the others, she was immediately met with a wave of gazes that were a mixture of amazement, curiosity, doubt, and awe.

In response, she simply raised her chin slightly and met their gaze calmly.

Her calm and open demeanor made the Vermilion Bird Army soldiers who were looking at her less inquisitive and more respectful.
