Chapter 684: Chapter 670: Enhancing Strength, Manifestation of the Ancient City!_1

The mountain city of the Gu Yuan tribe was built on the ruins of the Dragon Fall Ancient City. Despite occupying only a small portion of the original ancient city, it still stretches a hundred miles in all directions.

The hundred-mile expanse of land, even now when the population of the Gu Yuan tribe has reached 1.33 million, still appears spacious. Many areas within the city remain barren, dotted with towering ancient trees and rolling foothills.

If you were to take into account the spirit fields and the Medicine Mountain the Gu Yuan tribe have cultivated in this period, they merely occupy a fraction of the mountain city. Furthermore, these cultivation fields are insignificant considering the large population of the tribe; at least ten thousand acres of spirit fields would be required.

"My friends, after this upheaval, the Border Wasteland Region will experience a period of calm. This peace will not last more than five years, and after those five years the turmoil the entire Border Wasteland Region will face poses potential destruction even to our Gu Yuan Tribe. Therefore, strengthening our power is a matter of utmost urgency."

Xiao Chen’s words resonated through the Great Hall, causing many elders to nod in agreement. However, no one spoke; they were waiting for what Xiao Chen had to say next.

"Currently, our Gu Yuan clan city tower has more than 20 martial artists. Besides Chief Mu and Elder Wan, who are at the five-layer stage of the Towering Realm, Elder Stone and Elder Blood are at the fourth layer stage. The remaining martial artists like Ding Shan, Xiao Bangtu, and Mu Wu Ya are at the three-layer stage of the Towering Realm, the majority of the rest are at the second layer or first therein. But no matter how impressive, our tribe’s War Soldiers seem lacking to keep up with the development of the tribe."

"Therefore, the most critical task for the tribe moving forward is to enhance the power of our warriors. Elders, do you have any suggestions? "

As his words ended, Xiao Chen cast his gaze over everyone in the hall. After a moment, Grand Elder Tie Wen stood up. Due to Xiao Chen’s decision to put the burden of tribal affairs on him, Tie Wen had limited time for cultivation and was still at the perfect stage of the Blood Refining Realm. However, after being tempered over the years, his realm became increasingly stable.

"Chieftain, there are 200,000 Bone-Tempering Realm perfection warriors in our Gu Yuan tribe. If even half of them were to break through to the Blood Refining Realm, the power of the tribe would double. However, the resources that would be consumed to make this happen are enormous. Furthermore, there are not enough alchemists in the Hundred Herbs Hall to refine a large amount of Martial Arts Great Pills which promotes realm breakthrough in a short time."

Grand Elder Tie Wen’s thoughts aligned with Xiao Chen’s. Over the years, although the Gu Yuan tribe has not conducted a large-scale production of Martial Arts pills for breaking through to Blood Refining Realm due to the lack of Alchemists and medicinal herbs, many warriors still advanced to the Blood Refining Realm after accumulating power over several years.

The medicinal herbs used in the refining of the Martial Arts Great Pills for realm breakthrough are not precious. But the amount of Spirit Medicine consumed is tremendously huge. But now, the Mountain and River Herb Garden fostered a large number of herbs required for refining the pill. With the help of the eternal true spirit Luli, these medicinal herbs, which are only six to seven hundred years old, can mature in just two to three months.

After a round of rejuvenation, there are five junior alchemists and more than 1200 pharmacist apprentices left in the Hundred Herbs Hall. As for those below the hundred herbs hall who cultivate medicinal herbs and manage the spirit field, there are more than 3000 tribesmen.

Xiao Chen then handed over a spirit cultivation secret method to Mu Qing, the master of the Hundred Herbs Hall. He believed that with this secret method for cultivating the spirit, a large number of warriors who were stuck at the apprentice realm would be promoted to the beginner alchemist realm.

Moreover, Xiao Chen issued an order that these alchemists could use the pills they refined as contributions to exchange for more advanced spirit cultivation secret methods from the tribe, thereby mobilizing the enthusiasm of these alchemists.

"Grand Elder is right. Henceforth, the task of the Hundred Herbs Hall is to refine the Martial Arts Great Pill to promote warriors from the Bone-Tempering Realm to the Blood Refining Realm. As for the medicinal herbs, there is no need to worry."

Upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words, although everyone did not comprehend why they did not need to worry about the medicinal herbs, Mu Qing and Nianhua, who are close to Xiao Chen, surely understood. They both have entered the Mountain and River Seal Dongtian World more than once. The densely planted medicinal herbs in the world garden are now sprouting tender buds.

"Regarding the War Soldiers of the present Gu Yuan tribe, this tribal chief has exchanged three war formations from the Ancestral Court to enhance the strength of the tribe!"

Xiao Chen’s words immediately piqued the interest of Ding Shan and the others, especially Ding Shan, the War Soldiers’ leader, who has been obsessing over how to improve the fighting strength of the War Soldiers. After all, it’s not possible to train all soldiers to reach the Towering Realm. It’s merely unrealistic.

Even if the Gu Yuan tribe crunches limitless resources, the talent of every warrior varies. The potential runs out, only to waste resources. Over the years, a significant part of the massive quantity of pills that the Gu Yuan tribe has refined has been consumed by warriors who have exhausted their martial arts potential. This signifies that even if they progress to the Blood Refining Realm, they won’t have much growth in the future.

"However!" Seeing everyone’s eager eyes, Xiao Chen then added, "However, even though the war formations can enhance the strength of the War Soldiers, the common formations are okay as they don’t require strong warriors. But some strong formations exert pressure, which can cause the bodies of the soldiers in the formation to burst and die. Therefore, if we want to form War Soldiers, our current warriors of the Gu Yuan tribe are not qualified."

Xiao Chen unhesitatingly poured cold water on everyone. Currently, out of the one million tribesmen, there are only more than 20,000 Blood Refining Realm warriors. And these Blood Refining Realm warriors are distributed among various positions within the tribe. The vast majority are in the early stage of Blood Refining Realm.

Because their potential has been exhausted, it will be challenging for them to grow in the future. If they’re talented, they would have already progressed to the Blood Refining Realm. After stabilizing their cultivation realm, with the support of sufficient resources, they would have progressed to the next realm.

However, if highly talented warriors are involved in training War Soldiers, Xiao Chen would be reluctant. After all, the higher the talent of the warrior, the higher the realm they can achieve in the future.

Therefore, after acquiring the war formations, Xiao Chen decided in his heart to reshuffle the warriors of the tribe. Some whose potential has been exhausted and passed the assessment will be included in the formation of Soldiers. As for the talented warriors, they will naturally receive different levels of cultivation. The upcoming War God Temple will serve as their training ground.

"Commander Ding, you have a month to re-organize the entire tribe’s War Soldiers. Select warriors under thirty years of age and those whose potential has been exhausted."

"Grand Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, given the same one-month time frame, select those warriors in the tribe who are in the perfect state of the Bone-Tempering Realm but whose potential has already been exhausted. In addition, if there are warriors in the tribe whose marrow age is less than fifty and whose cultivation is at the late stage of Bone-Tempering Realm, select them too."

"Yes!"

The elders immediately rose to their feet, affirming their commitment.

"Alright, today’s tribal meeting will end here. Dear elders, time is not on our side; the strengthening of our tribe cannot be delayed."

What prompted Xiao Chen to end the tribal meeting was the voice of Luli in his soul sea. Soon, every elder in the Great Hall left, and Xiao Chen’s figure flashed into the Mountain and River Seal Dongtian World.

"What is this?"

Upon entering the Mountain and River Seal Dongtian World, Xiao Chen was taken aback.

Because right before his eyes appeared a bronze ancient city which occupied a hundred miles of land. In the city was a bronze tower, three hundred feet tall, sprawling over several miles.

Pavilions, towers, ancient lump and mountains all materialized before him. Although, at this moment, the entire hundred-mile bronze ancient city emitted an aura of desolate loneliness with no sign of life.

A fifty-foot high wall enclosed a hundred miles’ circle of the city. Four bronze gates, grand and ancient, stood on each side of the city walls, with images of beasts from the Desolate Wilds era carved on the gigantic doors.

However, at this moment, this ancient city appeared rather dilapidated, with the city’s towers ravaged and the mountains toppled.

"Master!" As soon as Xiao Chen appeared, Luli threw herself toward him.

"Luli, this...?"

"Master, this is the bronze ancient city!"

"How is this possible!" Even though he had suspicions in his heart, Xiao Chen found it difficult to link the bronze ancient city before him with the palm-sized bronze ancient city he brought from the Ancestral Treasury.

"Master, this is the original form of the bronze ancient city. Luli has awakened the dormant artifact soul in the city. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the city to see for yourself."

As she spoke, Luli pulled on Xiao Chen’s arm and flew toward the three-hundred-foot bronze tower in the city. They soon landed in the Great Hall on the topmost floor of the tower.

"Master, this is the control center of the bronze ancient city."

Beneath Xiao Chen, were slabs of ground made of bronze. Each slab emitted an ancient aura—a settling of time after it has passed. This Great Hall was exceptionally subtle; from here, one could view the entirety of the ancient city.

In the center of the hall was a lotus platform ten feet wide. On the platform was a colorful mist that, at the moment, gave off an immortal, chaotic aura to Xiao Chen.

Hum, hum, hum!

The colorful mist began to bloom continuously after Xiao Chen’s arrival. Countless colors flowed around, spreading to all directions. Xiao Chen could sense something being nurtured within the vibrant mist.

Soon, the vibrant mist blossomed like a bud, revealing a little girl clothed in a bright lotus dress within. To Xiao Chen’s surprise, this little girl resembled Luli significantly.

Ps: The patriarch created a V-chat group, Gu Yuan Tribe 590596166. Fans reaching 1000 can join the group. General group 310191782 has no restrictions, everyone is welcome to join. Whether it is a regular group or a V-group, once they reach a certain number, the patriarch and some admins will release red envelopes. The red envelopes won’t be large, it’s just for fun.

Also, both common and V-groups have not yet reached 100 members. That day,the chief will add an extra update. Regarding the previous backlog, the chief is slowly catching up.
