Chapter 487: Chapter 472: Clan’s Strength, Three Months Later!_1

In the sunlight, a majestic mountain city nestled amidst the Wild Mountain Range.

The mountain city was densely populated with people, possibly numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Stone houses were scattered everywhere on the uneven terrain. Squads of war soldiers patrolled with a pungent scent of blood emanating from them, causing young children to hide from a distance.

These soldiers dragged freshly killed beasts behind them. These were blood foods that the tribe needs daily. Not only that but even ordinary tribal people formed groups to go hunting in the ancient forest, honing their battle tactics, however, they dared not delve too deep and only hunted on the periphery.

Some women took the captured beasts from the soldiers, teasingly driving away the soldiers who teased them. Then they skillfully skinned and boned the animals, separately storing the bones, precious blood, skin, and meat.

Below a mountain on the western side of the mountain city, thousands of young war soldiers were practicing martial arts under the supervision of a burly Great Han. These were the newly enlisted soldiers recruited to supplement the losses from the last war.

"Kill!"

Blood surged like a tidal wave, and morale was high. The young faces flushed with excitement, ceaselessly raised their voices in calls for slaughter.

Youthful excitement coursed through them, hoping to become like the other soldiers, hunting in the big wasteland, fighting bloody battles in the wilderness and earning their own merits with their war sabers.

The burly Great Han was Xiao Bangtu. At this moment, he had changed significantly since the war. A hint of Circulation Perfection was emanating from his body, and he had truly become the Ten-Thousand Men Leader.

Because the war ended, not only the Gu Yuan battle division but the other human battle divisions throughout the Dragon Fall Territory entered a recovery period. Hence the replenishment speed of the lost soldiers was not fast. Instead, they focused more on the strength and tactics of the soldiers.

As the Ten-Thousand Men Leader, Xiao Bangtu gave priority to the power of his soldiers on these days, in addition to cultivation. Therefore, he would gather the war masters for training every few days.

The current mountain city has changed. The girls from the Nianhua tribe decorated the houses in the village with bunches of flowers. Every morning, the delicate girls walked through the winding paths in the tribe, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs to collect the flowers of the treasure medicines, used to brew the Hundred Flowers Brew.

In the Medicine Mountain medicine field, some girls carefully nurtured the medicinal herbs. Under the nourishing effects of heaven and earth’s vital energy, every herb thrived.

The girls gently planted each medicinal herb that was decades old into the medicine field. This was a task assigned to them by the tribe leader. Although they were curious about where the tribe leader had collected such a large number of medicinal herbs, that didn’t stop them from carefully tending to those herbs.

In the Stone Garden.

At the moment, Little Heavenly Horse was not frolicking in the volcano but standing under an ancient tree, its golden wings folded at its side.

Even so, a raging heat was constantly emanating from its body, withering the ancient tree and flowers by its side.

The mischievous gleam shone in its golden eyes. Because in front of it, a petite girl was standing with her hands on her waist, glowering at it.

The petite girl, Lin Cai Er, felt overwhelmingly defeated every time she saw Little Heavenly Horse. Even in the entire mountain city, where no one dared to provoke her, she still repeatedly suffered setbacks in front of Heavenly Horse.

"Cai Er, you are slacking off again. Get back to work!"

At this time, a gentle voice came from outside the Stone Garden. Lin Cai Er stamped her feet, pointed at the Heavenly Horse with hatred, and then turned to meet the figure behind her.

"Sister Qing, Sister Nianhua, I have been practicing very diligently. Just a few days ago, I advanced to the Blood Refining Realm Late Phase!"

Lin Cai Er took Mu Qing’s arm and cooed.

As Mu Qing’s good friend, Lin Cai Er was initially very hostile towards Nianhua. But seeing that Mu Qing had accepted Nianhua, and being as simple and naive as she was, how could she compete with Nianhua, who held power over a human tribe? Not long after, Nianhua managed to melt Lin Cai Er’s hostility.

"Look at Sister Xue Li, she’s about your age but has already broken through to the peak of the Blood Refining Realm. And here you are, fooling around!"

With a gentle tap on Lin Cai Er’s forehead, Mu Qing spoke with a spoiling tone. She had no choice with Lin Cai Er. Throughout the tribe, even her father, the second elder Lin Shan, was exasperated by her antics. Only Xiao Chen, the tribal chief, could manage her.

The Stone Hall of the Stone Garden.

Xiao Chen finished his routine cultivation and sat in a stone chair, waiting for the elders of the tribe. It had been three months since the last tribal meeting, the entire tribe was thriving.

Boosted by the tribe’s prosperity, the newly joined tribespeople were gradually settling in. Some former strong individuals from scattered tribes have gradually learned that they need to forget the past to genuinely integrate into this newly promoted mid-tier battle division.

In three months, and with the expenditure of a vast amount of resources, Xiao Chen now has the cultivation of the peak of the second layer of the Towering Realm.

Before long, in addition to the three Grand Elders, Mu Qing, and several other women, the Qiu family’s five brothers, Ding Shan, and a host of thousands of other leaders appeared in the Stone Hall.

Such a large gathering of strong ones made several streaks of Circulating Heaven Qi ripple throughout the Stone Hall.

Waving his hand to signal everyone to sit at their convenience and not worry about etiquette, Xiao Chen then said, "The tribe has been able to achieve this status in the past three months because of all your hard work!"

"You don’t have to deny it. For the past three months, our tribal chief has been in seclusion, and the tribe’s affairs have been handled by the various elders. You deserve the credit for this!"

"Qing Er, Nianhua, take the newly refined Blood Pills and a jar of Hundred Flowers Brew aged for 300 years from the Hundred Herbs Shop to all the elders’ houses later!"

"Yes, Brother Xiao!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Blood Pills are elixirs for Blood Refining Realm warriors to increase their cultivation. The Hundred Herbs Shop now has many medicinal herbs accumulated. And hundreds of pharmacist apprentices have finally advanced to the level of junior alchemists to refine the Pills for Blood Refining Realm warriors.

As for the Hundred Flowers Brew aged for 300 years, it was the stock of the Nianhua War Division in the past. Just a small jar of it is worth a month of hard cultivation for a Blood Refining Realm warrior.

Nianhua’s tribe highly prized the Hundred Flowers Brew. When she arrived at the Gu Yuan tribe, Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate to distribute it among the people. But she didn’t know about Xiao Chen’s Mountain and River Seal Space and its time-accelerating ability, which Xiao Chen only discovered when he placed the Hundred Flowers Brew into it.

In the Stone Hall, most of them were warriors at the peak of the Blood-Refining Realm. Xiao Chen’s reward may not matter to them, but they are not lone individuals. They also have their own families. These things were very precious to their descendants.

"Chief, over the past three months, our tribe has added 130 new Blood Refining Realm warriors. As for the requirements for War Masters and War Leaders that you set, half of the thirty War Leaders in our three groups of Ten Thousand War Masters are now in the mid-stage of the Blood Refining Realm!"

Xiao Chen understood that the increase in cultivation also requires time. Thankfully, the Gu Yuan War Division still has some time. He believes that in no time at all, all the frontline thousand-man leaders in the tribe would break through to the mid-stage of the Blood Refining Realm.

"The three of you, Ten-Thousand Men Leaders, our Gu Yuan War Division is currently in a state of recovery. The number of our warriors will not increase in a short time, but each of you must not slack off in training your soldiers!"

"Understood!"

Ding Shan, Xiao Bangtu, and Mu Wu Ya, the three of them stood up and responded. There are currently only three Ten Thousand War Masters in the Gu Yuan War Division, a significant gap compared to medium-level War Divisions with a hundred thousand War Masters. Since they were outnumbered, they could only make up for it with quality.

At present, the people in the Great Hall were all at the peak of the Blood-Refining Realm. Half of the Qiu Family’s five brothers, Nianhua, and the former tribal leader of the Nianhua tribe, Granny Hua, along with Ding Shan, Xiao Bangtu, Mu Wu Ya, and Huang Liang, had all completed the twelve heavenly meridians and formed the Circulating Heaven Qi Sea after three months of hard work, but they had only just broken through and their cultivation still needed to be consolidated.

Except for them, the original ten thousand-man commanders, such as Lin Yue, Xiao Lin, and Xi Ming, were even worse off. They had just made it to the peak of the Blood-Refining Realm and needed at least a year to consolidate. As for Que Lei, he was already old and had retired from the War Masters this time.

The three Grand Elders, too, were in the late phase of the Blood Refining Realm, having reached that level by relying on a large number of resources, helping Xiao Chen and dealing with various tribal affairs, maintaining the operation of the tribe.

"To the three elders, now that our tribe has ample time and labor, we need to dig out new mine veins according to the beast skin scroll’s markings as soon as possible. The more than ten thousand captured soldiers from the last war were assigned to you. You must exploit the new veins to the fullest, especially the superior quality veins and search for medium to superior quality terrestrial elemental stone veins!"

After a long time, everyone went their separate ways, leaving only Mu Qing, Nianhua, and Lin Cai Er. After three months, the awkwardness between Xiao Chen, Mu Qing, and Nianhua seemed to have faded, and they seem to have implicitly acknowledged this scene.

"Brother Xiao, Sister Nianhua is already approaching the barrier to the Towering Realm, I wonder if the Purple Crystal Ascendant Vine is mature yet!"

The Purple Crystal Ascendant Vine had immeasurable benefits for warriors breaking through to the Towering Realm and solidifying their high-quality Tower. In addition to this, Xiao Chen had cut off its branches and cultivated them separately in the space of the Towering Realm. Now there were already more than twenty of them, but they still lacked some time and maturity and needed to wait for a while.

"It’ll take another three or four months for them to fully mature to the limit of a thousand-year Spirit Medicine. Nianhua, spend these days studying the techniques well!"

Nianhua, who had given up her original techniques to cultivate a set of superior rank earthly techniques in the Gu Yuan War Division, didn’t show any signs of hurry even though Xiao Chen had neglected her these past few days. She understood some things required time to develop.

"Okay!"

Nianhua still had a deep respect for Mu Qing. Even though Mu Qing was younger than she, Nianhua was a bit restrained in Mu Qing’s presence.
