Chapter 32: Taking Care of the Mountain
The Wendao Peak is 3,300 feet high, much higher than the peaks of other true disciples.

This peak is shaped like a dragon looking up at the sky. It covers a very large area and looks like a small forest country in the mortal world.

On the top of the mountain, you can see green pines and cypresses, waterfalls and flowing springs everywhere.

There are dozens of palaces standing on the mountainside. They are different functional areas, where the peak master can make elixirs, tame beasts, refine weapons...

The top of the peak is even more beautiful. In addition to the two golden words "Wendao" on one side of the cliff, there is also a huge Tianchi Lake. Next to the Tianchi Lake, there is an extremely magnificent palace: Tiandu Palace.

Throughout the entire mountain range, there are countless spirit beasts running and jumping.

Cranes, rocs, eagles, reindeers, peacocks...

Countless spiritual birds add indescribable vitality and vigor to Wendao Peak.

From the sky, two streams of light descended and came to the side of the Tianchi Lake.

"Tiandu, are you satisfied with this Dao Peak?" Elder Tiangong asked with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Thank you, Elder Tiangong, for taking the trouble to build this peak for me."

"This peak is exactly what I want!"

After saying that, Hua Tiandu was about to bow, but was stopped immediately by the other party.

"No need to be so polite, Tiandu!" Elder Tiangong said hurriedly.

Hua Tiandu smiled helplessly, and then he made an invitation, "Elder, why don't you come with me to the Tiandu Palace, and I will entertain you."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I have to go to the north of the formation to build a Yaoguang Peak, so I really can't get away." Elder Tiangong declined.

"When I have some free time, I believe you will have taken good care of Wendao Peak by then, and it won't be too late for me to visit you then."

Hearing this, Hua Tiandu thought about it and agreed, so he stopped being polite and said, "Okay, I will definitely make a room for you when the time comes."

Then, the two said goodbye to each other.

The great elder Tiangong flew to the north, presumably to preside over the casting of Yaoguang Peak. However, Hua Tiandu did not rush to enter Tiandu Palace, but came to the Inner Immortal Courtyard.

This time, he came to recruit some disciples to manage the Wendao Peak for him.

After all, raising spiritual beasts, taking care of Tianchi and other miscellaneous tasks do require a lot of manpower.

In the Inner Immortal Academy, as soon as Hua Tiandu showed up, he attracted more than a dozen inner disciples.

"Hello, Brother Hua!"

Amid the warm welcome from many inner disciples, Hua Tian just nodded.

And this scene, in the eyes of the people around, perhaps due to the blessing of his status as a true disciple, carries with it a kind of superior majesty.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Hua for being promoted to a true disciple!" Many inner disciples congratulated in unison.

Hearing the congratulations, Hua Tian smiled slightly, nodded and hummed.

This simple response made the surrounding disciples breathe a sigh of relief.

"I wonder why Senior Brother Hua came to the Inner Immortal Court. I have all the strength in my body, so I can serve you."

"My body movements are very flexible and exquisite. I wonder if I can help Senior Brother Hua to relieve his worries?"

……

Many disciples had hope in their eyes, hoping to take advantage of this powerful backer to rise to the top.

This commotion attracted more people, and the place suddenly became lively.

In the center of the crowd, Hua Tiandu looked at these inner disciples with enthusiastic eyes and sighed secretly.

The purpose of these people is very clear, it is obvious that they want to depend on him.

"My fellow brothers and sisters, don't be anxious. Let me say a few words first."

His words were very effective, and the crowd immediately quieted down. "I'm here to find the elders of the Inner Immortal Academy to issue a mission."

"I want the elders to notify a few old friends on my behalf. I want to invite them to come to the Asking Peak and help me take care of many things in the peak."

"Of course, if you are interested, you can come to my Dao Peak in five days to participate in the selection meeting. Those who pass the assessment can stay in the peak to serve."

As the first place in the Mountain and River Ranking Competition, Hua Tian also defeated Feng Yaoguang who was also in the Mystical Realm of Divine Powers. He can be said to be a celebrity in recent times. He still has some reputation in the Inner Immortal Academy.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the disciples around him responded in unison.

"We will obey Brother Hua's orders!"

Looking at the enthusiastic disciples, Hua Tian was very satisfied.

After giving the serious instructions, he walked through the crowd that automatically separated and came to the depths of the Inner Immortal Court, where he met several deacons and elders.

He made his purpose clear, saying that he wanted to find the seven people he had saved in the Demonic Battlefield in the past, as well as Fang Wei who was disheartened by the tragic death of his lover.

"I want the eight of them to come to my Dao Peak and take care of the affairs of the peak for me." Hua Tiandu issued a commissioned task, "Please help me notify the elders about this matter."

I don’t know if Feng Baiyu and other sect leaders issued a secret notice, but several deacons and elders all agreed to his request with smiles on their faces.

After finishing this matter, Hua Tiandu returned to Wendao Peak.
-
Five days flew by.

Under the sun high in the sky, many people gathered at the top of the Wendao Peak, on the white jade square next to the Tianchi Lake.

In addition to the eight acquaintances invited by Hua Tiandu by name, there were also hundreds of inner disciples who came because of his reputation.

"My fellow junior brothers and sisters, since there are too many people participating in the selection today, I would like to ask a few friends to preside over the assessment for me."

Having said that, he paused, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he looked at a certain area in the crowd.

"Fang Wei, Shen Lixin, Wen Xudan, Zhan Wanyu, Zhang Kezhen, Chang Yuming, Lian Weizheng, Zuo Shoubin."

"Please, the eight of you, preside over the next selection for me."

After he finished giving the order, the eight inner disciples in the crowd all bowed in agreement.

They came to the front of the crowd together and began to do things in an orderly manner.

About an hour later, the selection work was completed, and naturally some people were happy and some were worried.

Most of the inner disciples who were not selected went down the mountain with sighs, while the disciples who stayed behind began to assign tasks.

"Junior Brother Fang, Junior Sister Shen..."

"I know all eight of you well, so I can't take sides."

"How about this, you draw lots, and whatever is written on the piece of paper you draw will determine what you will be responsible for from now on."

After saying that, Hua Tiandu stretched out his hand, and suddenly, eight paper signs that had been prepared long ago appeared on his palm.

He used his magic power to cover the paper slips to prevent anyone from using their extraordinary spiritual power to spy on the writing on them.

"Brothers and sisters, who will come first?"

Hearing Hua Tiandu's question, Shen Lixin stepped forward and replied, "Brother Hua, I'll go first!"

After saying that, she stretched out her fair little hand and grabbed the paper stick floating at the top.

Slowly unrolling the folded paper tag, I saw four large characters "Raising Spiritual Beasts" written in the center.

"Okay, from now on Junior Sister Li Xin will be in charge of the spirit beasts on the mountain."

After Hua Tiandu finished his announcement, Fang Wei came up. He had drawn the 'Spiritual Plant' issue.

Next, the remaining few people also drew their future responsibilities, including patrolling the mountains and managing Tianchi Lake.
