_1 At Xiao Chen’s command, figures swiftly disappeared from the Great Hall.

Moments later, Xiao Chen stepped down from the main seat and strolled towards the outside of the hall.

The dawn sky still has a hint of darkness; the curtain of night was yet to be completely lifted.

Xiao Chen’s eyes were lively, sparkling like two bright stars in the boundless darkness.

The top of the Stone Tower was as if in broad daylight.

His ears twitched slightly as if catching every movement within the tribe.

At this moment, the Centurions and other managers of the tribe had begun to execute his orders.

The hurried sounds echoed in every corner of the tribe as groups of figures dashed up and down the tribal streets.

Nonetheless, Xiao Chen’s gaze was calm, and his expression remained undisturbed.

Although he had just broken through to the middle stage of the Blood Refining Realm, outdoing his expectations as he opened up two more channels in succession, they were still at an apparent disadvantage in the face of the combined onslaught from the Xuan She Kui Shui Tribes.

The collective efforts of the entire tribe accounted for slightly over a hundred medicinal materials.

Xiao Chen quickly figured out the reason for this scarcity— the tribe’s population had drastically increased causing resources to deplete rapidly.

The gathering of a hundred medicinal materials had not yet met Xiao Chen’s requirement, and he was contemplating how to obtain more resources quickly.

The outcomes of consuming the medicinal concoction were unpredictable.

Not even he knew the success rate.

Hence, the more the potions, the better it would be.

Step, step, step!

Nimble footsteps came from behind him along with a faint fragrance.

Xiao Chen didn’t turn around.

Before long, a beautiful figure approached him.

If it wasn’t Mu Qing, then who could it be?

“Brother Xiao, are you concerned about the medicinal materials?” The lady was clad in a plain linen gown, her bright hair hanging in a ponytail using a beast-hide string.

Her lovely face was as warm as water with eyes full of softness like a fall shower.

“Qing Er knows me so well.

The tribe has been increasing in population lately, and resources are draining fast.

Add to that Xuan She Kui Shui Two Department’s blockade for over a month.

My tribe has not been able to replenish the resources effectively, resulting in a shortage.

Being able to gather even a hundred medicinal materials is already a great fortune.”

“Brother Xiao, I have seen the formula you devised.

Just common herbal ingredients decades old, but mixed together, they create a truly miraculous effect, turning the mundane into magical.

Mu Qing speaks in her characteristic soft-spoken manner, much like a gentle rain.”

“Brother Xiao must be wondering why I am here.”

“Correct” Xiao Chen turned around, looking straight into Mu Qing’s beautiful face.

A little surprised, he said, “Does Qing Er have some ideas to enlighten me?”

“Indeed” Mu Qing’s eyes were like autumn water, brimming with emotion.

At such close proximity to Xiao Chen, she felt a surge of masculinity washing over her.

Her face turned slightly pink.

She quickly regained her senses and said, “I’ve seen Brother Xiao’s magical formula.

The absence of the most crucial herbal element, the two-century-old Sophora Japonica, is glaring.”

“Sophora Japonica thrives in darkness- it draws essence from dead bones- hence, its medicinal property is sinister, a bit tricky, and acts as a stimulant to human potential.

The other herbs in the formula serve to neutralize the chilling dead qi.”

Excitement added an edge to Xiao Chen’s voice, “Does it mean Sophora Japonica grows somewhere near your tribe, Qing Er?”

“Brother Xiao, you are mistaken.

Since we know the characteristics of Sophora Japonica, all we need is the right approach,” quipped Mu Qing as she pointed at the hill behind the Gu Yuan Clan, the final resting place of the clansmen who had fallen over time.

Being in the middle of the situation and preoccupied with countering the attack of the Xuan She Kui Shui Tribes, Xiao Chen had overlooked this aspect.

Originally, he had intended to venture out for medicinal herbs but hesitated fearing the risk to the safety of his tribe, only to realize that the herbs he sought were available just outside his doorstep.

“Quite right, Qing Er.

I am heading there right now” said Xiao Chen as he prepared to leave for the hill to gather herbs.

Watching Xiao Chen’s hasty action, Mu Qing shouted in panic, “Brother Xiao, wait!

I’ve already retrieved the herbs and handed them over to the third elder!”

“What!”

“At that time, if the tribals get upset for disturbing the spirits of our ancestors, Brother Xiao, you can hold me responsible and say it was my decision,” said Mu Qing, her gaze shifting, and her voice faltering nervously.

Listening to Mu Qing’s words, Xiao Chen was again drawn towards her beautiful face.

He observed her eyes avoiding his gaze, and he was filled with a warm feeling.

Who would have thought that this girl cared for him, to the point of taking the blame for himself?

In the Great Wastelands, the Ancient Human Tribes, having fought several eras, did not idolize the immortals or belief in ghosts.

Instead, they had an innate belief in themselves.

Every member of the Great Wasteland Ancient Human Tribe had immense respect for their martyrs.

The continuous tribute to their ancestors was a stepping stone to their unbroken legacy.

To every member of the Great Wasteland Ancient Human Tribe, the final resting place of their ancestors was the most sacred spot.

The spirits of the deceased ancestors were their guardian angels.

Now, to save the tribe from the crisis and to protect his reputation, Mu Qing was willing to bear the sin of disturbing the spirit of the ancestors.

Looking at Mu Qing, who was nervously avoiding his gaze like a mischievous child awaiting punishment, Xiao Chen gently pulled her towards him and had her lean on his shoulder.

Shocked by his sudden act, Mu Qing’s body stiffened like a frightened rabbit, and her face reddened as she blushed all the way up to her neck.

Quiet for a while, Xiao Chen spoke up “Our ancestors from the Gu Yuan Clan have shed blood and given lives for the tribe.

If their spirits are witness, surely they will understand; they will know that we had no other option.

Even if the tribe learns the origin of the Sophora Japonica, they will understand.

Besides, how could I let Qing Er face the music?”

Meanwhile, as Xiao Chen discussed matters atop the Stone Tower, the entire Gu Yuan Clan had already come into motion.

Under the leadership of their respective Centurions, nearly a hundred people from Qiaomu Family, Qing Ya Clan, and Lian Shan Family began to flock towards the Stone Tower.

Not only that, but the Grand Elder and Third Elder were also kept on their toes, urging the tribal people to transport the materials towards the front of the Stone Tower.

“Chief, everything is…”

As Xiao Chen whispered sweet nothings into Mu Qing’s ear, a broad and robust figure rushed towards the top of the tower and yelled.

However, he was left speechless, utterly startled by the sight in front of him.

“Ah, you…” Startled by the unexpected intrusion, Mu Qing screamed while her face flushed red.

Her beautiful silhouette turned into a sparkle and disappeared instantly from the top of the Stone Tower.
