Chapter 139: Expedient Measures

"Given the current situation, no one is absolutely sure. So they all need to accumulate strength now and fight to the death at the critical moment."

"As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The winner will certainly hold great power, while the loser will surely withdraw from the historical stage of Danxue Country, and even their clan will be destroyed. So which one should we choose?"

"We can't judge the situation now because we have too little information. I think we should go to the Hong family and the Cheng family separately." Feng Huan also wanted to go to the organization's contact point here to obtain intelligence, but he was not sure whether his information would be betrayed by An Shou, so he did not dare to take the risk now.

"Ah! Why do we have to separate? Isn't it still the Teng family or the Wang family?"

"We stayed here just to hide our identities and obtain cultivation resources, not to get promoted and make money for long-term development. Therefore, choosing these two families will not have the risk of being exterminated. Moreover, the Teng and Wang families are only hiring people for the upcoming battle for the throne, and they will not care about our life and death and future. If the Hong and Cheng families do not participate in the competition, they should just want to take the opportunity to expand their power and will not easily let us die."

"As for separating them, it can reduce the probability of being discovered by that person, and it can also give us an extra option at a critical moment, and we can also obtain more information."

"That's right, so let's go now?"

"Let's go our separate ways. And remember not to show your ability to make medicine using water elements in front of anyone, otherwise you will get into great trouble!"

"Ok!"

……

Feng Huan was dressed in white, waving a folding fan in his hand, and appeared in front of the Hong family mansion in an elegant manner. He had sharp eyes and observed everything around him. At this moment, the Hong family was recruiting new members, attracting many young warriors to apply.

The requirements for this recruitment are that the age must not exceed 35 years old, and the cultivation must reach the Tongliu realm or above. For some special talents, the conditions can be appropriately relaxed. The Hong family has even promised to give the applicants the most competitive treatment in Danxue Country. This is undoubtedly an extremely attractive opportunity, attracting countless people.

A lot of people have gathered at the scene, and they lined up in long queues, waiting to register. Such a large-scale open recruitment is extremely rare in normal times. Normally, the four major families will only select talents through recommendations from internal personnel and will only recruit them after strictly examining their backgrounds. Therefore, this opportunity is particularly precious, and if you miss it, there may be no second chance.

"Next!" shouted the Hong family member in charge of recruitment.

A tall man with extraordinary temperament walked to the front of the stage. His name was Shu Bai and he was from Bailu City.

"Shu Bai, you are not from the imperial city, but you are from Bailu City? I have heard of the Shu family of Bailu City, but it is just a third-rate family. However, you have reached the seventh level of Tongliu Realm at the age of only 26, which is not bad. Go and wait over there first." A member of the Hong family said indifferently, and then pointed to an area next to them.

When it was Feng Huan's turn, the recruiter briefly reviewed his information and considered him as having passed the first stage. Someone else would come to confirm further later. This time his name was Shu Bai.

Generally speaking, in a first-class family within a country like this, the most common middle-level figures are cultivators at the Tongliu Realm, and only those who reach the Nine-Fourth Condensation Realm can become high-level. Cultivators like Feng Huan do not receive any special treatment, and can only be arranged together with other ordinary cultivators, waiting for the next round of screening.

At this moment, a young man who was also waiting nearby suddenly came over and greeted Feng Huan: "Brother, what's your name?"

Feng Huan glanced at the young man and saw that he looked at him curiously, as if he was very interested in him. Feng Huan was a little unhappy, but he still replied politely: "I am Shu Bai, I came from Bailu City, and I was originally out for travel. I didn't expect to encounter such a sensation in the Imperial City, so I wanted to stay and find a good place to go."

Feng Huan didn't want to pay attention to this person at first, but then he thought that if he wanted to hide his identity better, the best way was to blend in with these ordinary cultivators so that they would not have any doubts about him. So Feng Huan took the initiative to talk to this young man, hoping to get some useful information from him.

"It turns out to be Brother Shu. I am Liang Huiyong, from a small family in the Imperial City. I came here hoping to obtain more cultivation resources. Small families like ours have too few resources. If we can all successfully enter the Hong family, I hope Brother Shu will take good care of us in the future!"

"Where, where, take care of each other, take care of each other?"

The two of them were polite to each other and started chatting. Feng Huan also learned some details about the Hong family from him. Dan Miaoman was originally just concentrating on cultivation, and as a member of the royal family, she knew something about other families, but not in detail.

As the leading family in Danxue, the Hong family's status and influence are self-evident. This family is famous for its weapon-making skills. According to incomplete statistics, more than half of the weapons in Danxue are made by the Hong family. Not only that, the Hong family's industries are spread across cities across the country, like a huge economic network that tightly wraps Danxue. Even the weapons used by the imperial army are mostly supplied by the Hong family. All of this makes the Hong family one of the most dazzling existences in Danxue.

However, the personnel structure within the Hong family is extremely complex. Everyone has unique skills and tasks. People like him who are good at force are mainly responsible for security work, ensuring the safety of the refiners, metal mining areas, and important figures of the Hong family. They are like the guardian angels of the Hong family, always alert to any danger that may threaten the interests of the family.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

The two were chatting happily when a man in his forties, with a rough appearance, a long scar on his forehead across his left eye, and a somewhat ferocious look, strode towards them under the guidance of the previous manager.

"This is the chief guard of our Hong family. He arranges all the guards of the Hong family. He is also the brother of the current head of the family and the Sixth Elder of the clan council. From now on, everything about you will be decided by the Sixth Elder."

"Greetings, Sixth Lord!" everyone greeted in unison.

"Very good, everyone is welcome to come to my Hong family and become one of us. In the future, you will definitely be grateful for your choice today. As long as you perform well in the future, there will be endless resources for you to practice and grow..."

The Sixth Elder's words of encouragement were passionate and resonant, which was completely inconsistent with the fierce scar on his face. The young people were so excited that they wanted to sacrifice their lives for the Hong family.

"Okay, without further ado, your basic information has been reviewed, but in order to properly arrange specific tasks for each of you, you need to demonstrate your actual combat capabilities. You only need to fight in pairs, and stop when you are satisfied."

Next, they were led to a training ground and arranged to fight against each other. Feng Huan just fought casually for a while without any outstanding performance.

At night they were arranged to stay in the guard area, each with their own training room with a nice environment.

After being alone and calm, Feng Huan contacted Dan Miaoman and asked about her situation. She had already broken through to the Condensed Form Realm, so her treatment was better than Feng Huan's. The Wang family was a business family, and their family business involved a wider range of industries and was more diversified. Now that the largest pharmaceutical family, the Royal Family, had been destroyed, they were preparing to quickly occupy this market, so they were more active. And now the Royal City was most in need of pharmacists. However, she had not yet exposed her pharmaceutical ability, and did not want to attract too much attention.

After the two exchanged messages, Dan Miaoman also talked about some other trivial matters. Feng Huan didn't care and didn't reply. He just wanted to maintain this cooperative relationship with her and didn't think about anything else.

There is no time to waste on other things. I have been training in the wild mountains and forests for this period of time. My martial arts have improved a little, but my cultivation progress is slow. The medicine for improving my cultivation that I prepared when I set out to participate in the ceremony has long been used up. Moreover, now that my cultivation has improved, spiritual medicines such as Liuming Grass are no longer of much use. I have to find a way to get some more spiritual medicines, and I also have to find time to refine the elixir for opening the acupoints.

Therefore, now he just hopes that the Sixth Elder will not assign him tasks so quickly so that he has time to complete these things.
