Chapter 522: Chapter 508 Preparing to Trade for an Investigation Warship!_1

Watching Nianhua descend into a Qing Stone Tower on top of Medicine Mountain, Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze. The Desolate Mountain Forest around Gu Yuan Tribe extending thousands of miles did not have any three-star beasts, so he was not worried about the safety of Mu Qing.

The new mountains about thousands of miles outside the Mountain City had already been combed through by the grand warriors of the Towering Realm in the tribe. The few two-star peak beasts that existed were either suppressed or completely killed, leaving only weaker ones as targets for the tribe’s warriors to sharpen their skills.

Not only that, but they had also artificially divided the thousands of miles of Desolate Mountain Forest into several areas, each marked as suitable hunting grounds for different levels of warriors in the tribe. This way, they could hone the martial arts skills of the tribespeople without suffering heavy losses.

After a while, Grand Elder Tie Shi appeared at the summit of the ancient mountain, looking somewhat hasty, and quickly informed Xiao Chen: "The Iron Feather Battalion of the tribe sent news that a medium-quality Elemental Stone Vein was found in the central area of the Dragon Fall Territory, and several tribes are vying for it!"

The hundred or so sub-parts of the Gu Yuan Tribe in the Ten Thousand Miles of wilderness around the tribe had already migrated to the central region of the Dragon Fall Territory, established new clans and cities, and each chose their tribe’s territory, maintaining relative peace and stability among themselves.

"Medium-quality Elemental Stone Vein."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded lightly. Although the Dragon Fall Territory is currently on the edge of the Border Wasteland Region and its resources are somewhat poorer compared to other places.

However, tens of thousands of years ago, the place was thriving with martial arts and had abundant resources. What has decreased now are various creatures while some ores are still buried underground, unmined for tens of thousands of years, so there is no shortage of veins.

The Gu Yuan Tribe is now on the right track, and they have been using the mine vein map of the Dragon Fall Territory to prospect for dozens of veins in a ten thousand mile radius, including two spirit mines and as many as nine Elemental Stone Veins, including one superior Elemental Stone Vein, three medium-quality Elemental Stone Veins, and four inferior Elemental Stone Veins.

A large number of elemental stones are mined every day and sent back to the tribe. The tribe does not lack elemental stones for the time being, so Xiao Chen was not greatly surprised by this medium-quality elemental stone.

He decided, "Ask the Dark Guard Hall to send an elder to the central region of Dragonfall Valley and warn all the tribes to stop fighting. My Gu Yuan Tribe receives thirty percent of the production of this medium-quality Elemental Stone Vein, and the rest is evenly distributed among the tribes near the vein!"

"Yes!"

Grand Elder Tie Shi was not surprised at Xiao Chen’s arrangement. As the master of the Ten Thousand Miles of wilderness, the entire Dragon Fall Territory can be said to be the territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe, with all the battle divisions being vassals of the Gu Yuan Tribe. The Gu Yuan Tribe has the right to incorporate the produce of this Desolate Land into their tribe.

However, Xiao Chen is not a greedy person. The Gu Yuan Tribe taking 30% of the elemental stone production is an acceptable quantity for both sides. After all, it wouldn’t be fair if the Gu Yuan Tribe gets all the meat and the small tribes don’t even get any soup.

"Grand Elder, our Gu Yuan Tribe has been relocated to Dragonfall Territory, and it has been almost a year since the tribes were established. The last annual sacrifice was hastily passed due to the tribal unrest and the threat of the exotic race!"

"Yes, last time, our Gu Yuan Tribe was like a dog in house mourning, being bullied by the Iron Hoof War Division, and was forced to move to Dragonfall Territory."

The Grand Elder agreed with Xiao Chen’s words, thinking back to the various encounters of the Gu Yuan Tribe. But now the Gu Yuan Tribe has made it through.

"Before this year’s sacrifice, the various affiliated tribes under my command are making their first tribute to our Gu Yuan Tribe, and to deal with future crises, I, the chieftain, plan to slightly enhance the strength of the affiliated tribes under my command."

"The Chieftain is talking about that trade fair!"

"Yes, taking advantage of the various tribes coming to pay their tributes, the tribe will take out some pills, warfare armor, and some other items to enhance strength for trade. These tribes are now my Gu Yuan Tribe’s vassals, to a certain extent, they can also be considered the strength of my Gu Yuan Tribe. It’s better to appropriately enhance their strength to deal with the future invasion of the exotic races."

"I have already instructed the Hundred Herbs Hall to start refining a large number of pills, from the big martial arts pill of the Bone-Tempering Realm to the Blood Refining Realm, to prepare for the trade fair of the various divisions under my command at the time of the annual sacrifice."

On top of the ancient mountains, Grand Elder Tie Shi stood behind Xiao Chen. With sufficient cultivation resources, his strength became increasingly profound, something inconceivable to Tie Shi in the past.

However, managing a tribe of one million people, the volume of affairs to handle each day is too immense. Even with his cultivation at the peak of the Blood Refining Realm Late Phase, he felt somewhat fatigued.

"Grand Elder, the tribe is currently postponing the absorption of tribespeople, and the tribe’s population, although it has some hidden troubles, is generally stable. You can select some talented individuals from the tribe to assist you in managing tribal affairs."

Tie Shi smiled lightly and said, "I have already chosen some warriors from our old Gu Yuan people to help me manage tribal affairs. However, they are still a bit unfamiliar with tribal affairs as they have just gotten involved, and they need me to oversee. In some time, they should be able to take the reins, allowing the younger generation of the tribe to take over."

As for why Tie Shi chose the old people from the tribe, Xiao Chen didn’t say anything, as it was understood without saying.

The current Gu Yuan Tribe has a population of one million, and the original Gu Yuan people, now account for less than one percent of the total tribal population. However, the entire tribe is still dominated by the original tribespeople.

This is also something Xiao Chen did intentionally. After all, compared to the newly joined tribespeople, those from the original Gu Yuan Tribe who have been supporting each other and multiplying for hundreds of years are the ones he knows best and trusts the most.

Atop the tribe’s volcano.

Xiao Chen stood on the edge of the lava. The earth vein that was penetrated during a battle tens of thousands of years ago triggered the eruption of earth fire and magma that lasted for months and had not extinguished for tens of thousands of years.

In the fiery magma, a half-sized sky horse frolicked, its golden body dancing with flames that looked like sprites.

Rolling magma hot enough to melt gold and iron, the rocks on the edge of the flame turned dark red after being forged by magma for tens of thousands of years, and it has now become as hard as refined iron.

Roar!

Seeing Xiao Chen’s arrival, Little Sky Horse is quite excited, continuously letting out roars, signaling for Xiao Chen to go down and play with it.

This makes Xiao Chen roll his eyes, as this magma mouth is as large as thirty feet in diameter, with golden-red lava rolling over like boiling hot water, continuously emitting bubbling heat, revealing a scorching aura.

Although Xiao Chen now is at the Towering Realm -- his body is robust, his Combat Qi is plentiful, and he is not afraid of this rolling magma -- he is also not willing to take a bath in this magma. The temperature in this flame magma is very high, and it is full of endless fire poison that can cause considerable damage to the body.

On the day of the grand trade fair in Border Wasteland City, Venerable Wan Feng brought the Void Warship Refinement Diagram, and Little Sky Horse told him that beneath this magma, there is a Void Warship.

This makes Xiao Chen hardly believe it, what kind of material is it, that could burn in flaming magma for thousands of years without decaying.

Suddenly, the lava lake began to boil violently.

Soon after, the entire lake surface appeared as though it was split apart by an invisible hand. A golden figure jumped out of the lake.

Roar, roar, roar.

A spiritual shock, Little Sky Horse’s still somewhat immature voice appears in Xiao Chen’s mind.

Patting Little Sky Horse’s big head lightly, Xiao Chen slowly closed his eyes. Suddenly, an invisible wave was emitted from his body.

These invisible spiritual waves continuously explored the depths of the lava fire. Xiao Chen’s soul will is comparable to that of an ordinary venerable. At this moment, these spiritual waves penetrated the rolling magma and spread down.

According to Little Sky Horse, the Void Warship is located 300 feet below the magma. Although the magma volcano mouth is only thirty feet in size, in Xiao Chen’s soul perception, the diameter of the flame mountain cave becomes larger the deeper it goes.

Fifty feet... eighty feet... a hundred feet...

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s soul perception has penetrated a hundred feet below the magma. In his mind, there is a red sea of fire, the rolling magma is like juice, mutually intertwined.

The magma below a hundred feet has a temperature several times higher than the magma on the surface. Xiao Chen even sensed that on the surrounding rock walls, there were some red, sparkling crystals embedded in it. These top-quality crystals could be used to forge top-quality fire attribute war weapons.

A hundred and fifty feet... two hundred feet...

At the edge of the volcano, Xiao Chen’s face is slightly wrinkled, his powerful soul perception rushes out, making him feel dizzy deep in his soul. Moreover, the temperature of the magma at this depth of two hundred feet even makes his soul feel a hint of scorching heat.

Two hundred and fifty feet... two hundred and sixty feet...

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s spiritual perception, every foot downwards consumes as much soul power as the top layer of magma at a depth of ten feet. Moreover, this consumption increases exponentially the deeper he goes.

Magma that has been burning for thousands of years has an astonishing density. Even a soul will that is comparable to venerable, still made Xiao Chen feel as heavy as a thousand catties. The scorching heat even clung to his soul perception, continuously burning his soul.

Two hundred eighty feet... two hundred ninety feet... two hundred ninety-five feet...

This is?!

Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s spiritual perception reveals a faint blue color protruding from the original dark red magma.

The Void Warship!

Xiao Chen takes a deep breath, the Void Warship is right in front of him, even this scorching heat that is as nagging as a maggot in the bone is unable to obstruct his will.

Enduring the bursts of burning pain coming from the depths of his soul, the original fading soul perception power once again bursts out a strong wave of power.

Pugh!

The spiritual perception turned into a sharp sword, piercing through the dense magma and suddenly stabbing into the faint blue light shield. The sound is similar to that when a bubble is pierced.

"This...!"

The next moment, Xiao Chen was stunned. In the depths of his mind, a ship carved with fierce exotic beasts appeared.

Even though it was hidden deep in the magma for tens of thousands of years, it still exudes a strong evil aura.

PS: Sorry, the update is late today because the tribal leader’s house needs some renovation.
