Chapter 687: Chapter 673: Preparation of Medicinal Herbs, Elders Breakthrough!_1

Boom!

The blood pond, which had been no more than a foot in size in Xiao Chen’s hand, suddenly flew into the air, transforming into a hundred-foot blood pond, landing in front of Xiao Chen.

The area around the blood pond was clear as blood, with a dried layer of blood at the bottom of the pond. At the edges of the blood pond, the corners were mottled, with a faint smell of blood seeping out.

At the very center of the blood pond, there was a circle of profound array patterns, roughly a foot in size. This was the most critical part of the entire blood pond, the spring eye.

At this moment, from within this spring eye, strands of blood-colored spring water seeped out. However, due to the lack of energy supply, this blood spring was nearing desiccation, and the water flow it produced could not even overflow from the spring eye.

Xiao Chen casually threw several medicinal herbs into the blood pond. They instantly dissolved and disappeared. However, a moment later, from the spring eye, a hint of pale green was mixed with traces of blood-colored spring water sprouted. The green color was the essence of the herbs, and the mixed blood came from the remnant flesh in the blood spring.

As a blood spring of the Blood Clan, one could imagine what the Blood Clan would throw into this blood pond. The blood spring here was just a medium for derivatives. What kind of essence it produced depended on what was thrown into it.

Phew!

Seeing the blood spring, the core of the blood pond was intact, Xiao Chen could not help but feel relieved. To purify the essence of herbs, this blood spring was essential. Only when the blood spring is intact, can it continuously refine the treasured blood of the herbs thrown into it, which can be used to temper the bodies of the tribe’s warriors.

"Luli, when will the herbs in the Cave Heaven Medicine Garden be completely mature?"

This time, the Gu Yuan Tribe prepared to refine herbs for promoting pills and tempering the body. Xiao Chen had already planted all of them in the Cave Heaven Medicine Garden and had Luli accelerate the speed of time in certain areas of the Cave Heaven Medicine Garden to cultivate the required herbs as quickly as possible.

Now that Xiao Chen has designated a secret realm for the Hundred Herbs Shop to cultivate herbs, once everything is on track, the herbs of the Gu Yuan Tribe will have to be cultivated by their people while looking for spirit medicines in the Great Wasteland for transplantation into the Spirit Medicine Secret Realm, creating a complete system of spirit medicine cultivation.

"The herbs that the master needs, at most are seven to eight hundred years old, and even some are a hundred years old. It’s very easy to cultivate these in the Cave Heaven Medicine Garden. Moreover, Luli has controlled the spatial speed and the density of primal energy where these herbs grow. In at most two months, all can become mature, ensuring that it will not delay the master’s matters!"

Luli fluttered her wings, suspended in mid-air in front of Xiao Chen, and said coquettishly.

Soon, Xiao Chen left the Mountain and River Seal World again. Although he didn’t stay in the secret realm for long, having seen the mysteries of the Bronze Ancient City, his mood, which had been irritated by the tribe’s extermination of the termites, also faded. Now, as long as he takes the time to fully integrate the Bronze Ancient City into the Tribal Mountain City, the Gu Yuan Tribe will undergo a profound transformation.

Returning to the tribe, Xiao Chen stood at the summit of the central ancient mountain, overlooking the tribe. A few days after getting rid of some pests in the tribe, the turbulence caused by it had already disappeared, and the whole tribe had returned to its tranquility.

Xue Sha and Shi Ya had not returned from their mission to suppress the Blood Clan at the Iron Hoof War Division’s Blood Race Void Path, and the chieftains of the other three tribes had not rushed back to the Gu Yuan Tribe either. The rewards he received from the Human Ancestral Court for exterminating the survivors of the Exotic Clan within tens of thousands of miles of the Desolate Land were untouched.

However, as the Human Ancestral Court, the rewards for this action were generous. In the storage space that contained the rewards, there were two million medium-quality primal stones, twenty million low-quality primal stones, and more than ten spirit weapons, a large number of spirit medicines, all at the fourth stage of transformation. Moreover, there were four terrestrial low-tier martial arts classics.

Just for exterminating the surrounding survivors of the Exotic Clan, such generous rewards were given, showing the Human Ancestral Court’s wealth. However, Xiao Chen understood the deeper meaning of it, which was to allow the tribes to accumulate strength and improve their warriors’ combat power more quickly.

Soon, Xiao Chen returned to the Blue Stone Garden. Both Mu Qing and Nianhua were not there. The Hundred Herbs Hall had experienced a major cleanup, and Xiao Chen had given Mu Qing a secret method for spirit cultivation. He planned to have the apprentices of the Hundred Herbs Hall make a breakthrough, so Mu Qing and Nianhua, as the main and deputy masters of the Hundred Herbs Hall, have been very busy these days.

Xiao Chen did not practice. At this moment, he had only recently reached perfection in the Towering Realm’s sixth tier. If he wanted to advance again, he would have to transcend Thunder Tribulation and progress to the Towering Realm’s Seventh Tier. The mysteries of Flame and Killing that he had comprehended were already at the stage of perfection, while the mystery of Thunder Destruction had reached the stage of beginner. If he wanted to make further progress, he would need to spend a lot of time.

"Chieftain! Three elders will soon arrive at the Blue Stone Garden."

"Thank you for your hard work, three elders!" The visitors were the three elders, Tieshi. Now, among the elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe, except for these three elders, almost all the tribe’s affairs were managed by Xiao Chen’s contemporaries.

"Is everything safe within the tribe?"

"Due to the chieftain’s decisive action in getting rid of those who were causing discord and oppression, you can say it has been a great relief to many. The tribe members all cheered, they are all in good spirits. There are no disturbances." Listening to this, Xiao Chen nodded slightly.

"Second elder, you manage Martial Arts Pavilion. Over the years, our Gu Yuan Tribe has collected various martial arts classics and cultivation secrets. How is the situation now?"

If you were to speak of the most important martial arts classics in the Gu Yuan Tribe, it would undoubtedly be the Sky Python Art, a quasi-celestial skill they’d inherited from the Purple Snake Tribe. As for the body refining secret law, it was the Purple Gold Battle Body that Xiao Chen practiced. However, he only had the first three volumes - Black Iron, Bronze, and Golden Battle Body. As for the final volume of the Purple Gold Battle Body, he would still need to search for it. Nonetheless, even just the first three volumes, if cultivated to the extreme, could rival a celestial body refining secret law.

"Reporting to the tribe head, there are currently five superior terrestrial tier martial arts classics in the Martial Arts Pavilion, nine mid-tier terrestrial martial arts classics, twenty-nine lower tier terrestrial martial arts classics, fifty-six ultimate human tier martial arts classics, one hundred and fifteen superior human tier martial arts classics. As for mid to lower human tier martial arts classics, there are about five hundred copies. This is all the martial arts foundation of our tribe."

"Copy all these four martial arts classics and store them in the Martial Arts Pavilion!" Xiao Chen was slightly startled. He had not expected that the Gu Yuan Tribe owned such a number of martial arts classics. From his storage bracelet, Xiao Chen took out the four martial arts classics given by the Ancestral Court and handed them to the Second Elder, Lin Shan.

Even the lower-tier terrestrial martial arts classics were incredibly precious, so obtaining four more would be instrumental to the development of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Seeing this, a smile naturally appeared in Lin Shan’s eyes.

"Tribe head, now our Gu Yuan Tribe’s martial arts classics can compete with even the marquis-level tribes. However, I might not have enough strength to take charge of the Martial Arts Pavilion, and its defense also needs to be strengthened."

"Elder Two, you don’t have to worry. In a few days, the defenses of the Martial Arts Pavilion will greatly improve. Not only that, the protection of the tribe’s treasure vault will also greatly increase."

Seeing Xiao Chen’s mysterious smile, the three elders were puzzled and could not figure out what kind of protection Xiao Chen was talking about.

"The three Elders, at the Blood Refining Realm, have reached perfection. Over the years, you have toiled for the tribe and neglected your own cultivation. This is my fault."

Without waiting for the three Grand Elders to speak, Xiao Chen reached out to the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood in Blue Stone Garden. The next moment, his hand shone with three purple-gold glimmers. Leaves filled with thunder descended from the spirit wood. The translucent leaves, glowing with a purple lustre, seemed ready to break through the air in Xiao Chen’s hand.

Whoosh!

Next, Xiao Chen flicked his finger, letting the three leaves filled with thunder fall into the bodies of the three Grand Elders.

"Refine with all your strength, break through your bottleneck!"

Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, making the three Grand Elders instantly solemn. They immediately sat cross-legged, refining the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Leaves that had infused into their bodies with all their might. As martial artists, they naturally wished to break through their realms. Being known as the Grand Elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe, comparable to a superior war division, and yet only having the cultivation level of the Blood Refining Realm seemed laughable to other war divisions.

A warrior at the perfection level of the Blood Refining Realm could live up to three to four hundred years. In comparison, the three Grand Elders were barely a quarter of that age.

But it’s because the Gu Yuan Tribe was a small remote tribe with limited resources and average talent. Even if the Gu Yuan Tribe is now powerful and rich in resources, it’s not easy to make up for what they lost in the past.

Roar!

Each Thunder Tribulation Spirit Leaf transformed into the shape of a fierce beast. Roars echoed from the bodies of the three elders. At this moment, all of them glowed brightly with purple light. Xiao Chen could sense that after the three Thunder Tribulation Spirit Leaves were infused into the bodies of the three Grand Elders, they were like electric dragons, raging and colliding with a large amount of spiritual power overflowing, constantly merging into every limb and bone.

"Coagulate!"

Xiao Chen shouted coldly, and a blue light blossomed in his hand. He pressed against the air above the three elders, and an invisible wave rushed into their bodies. The roaring Thunder Tribulation Spirit Leaves were instantly dispersed and transformed into pure spiritual power. The power penetrated into every muscle of the three elders.

Xiao Chen could perceive the aura within the three elders becoming more fierce as their power visibly soared.

Boom!

The Second Elder, Lin Shan’s aura, was the first to peak. Like a roaring giant dragon, a thunderous sound came from his body. Instantly, Elder Lin Shan rushed towards the outskirts of the mountain city. Xiao Chen flicked his finger, and a crystalline purple light shot into the body of the Second Elder.

This was the Purple Crystal Ascendant Vine, a remarkable item that innately elevated a martial artist’s Martial Art Tower. At this point, there were already hundreds of Purple Crystal Ascendant Vines growing in the Mountain and River Herb Garden.

With Xiao Chen’s care, the Grand Elder and Third Elder subsequently broke through the martial arts barrier, faced their challenges, and began to condense their own Martial Art Tower.
