Chapter 870: Chapter 855: The Lord’s Appointment, Inquiring in the Garden! (Make-up 19)

[Subscribe now!][The tribe leader asks for your support!]

With the War God Temple reopening and recruiting talented warriors from the Desolate Wilds, many elders present here strongly approved.

Over the years, it had been proven that Xiao Chen’s decision to establish the War God Temple was extremely correct.

Initially, although talents were recruited from across the entire Border Wasteland, many young warriors eventually returned to their own clans, while some were recruited by other clans.

However, the true beneficiary was still the Gu Yuan Tribe itself. Today, aside from the more than a hundred young warriors in the Towering Realm present in the hall, there were also over two thousand Blood Refining Realm talents in the War God Temple, who had yet to advance to the Towering Realm.

It was not to say that their talents were exhausted, for ascending to the Towering Realm also required fate. Moreover, they were all in their twenties; even if they advanced to the Towering Realm ten or twenty years later, being only in their forties or fifties, there were still many in the Desolate Wilds who struggled in the Blood Refining or even Bone Tempering Realms at that age.

Even if we consider that only half of these young warriors might advance to the Towering Realm, it would greatly enhance the strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Thus, everyone was in favor of reopening the War God Temple, slowly building up the tribe’s strength.

Moreover, with the current status of the Gu Yuan Tribe, releasing news of restarting the War God Temple would certainly attract clans from all over the Border Wasteland Region and even from neighboring Human Race Territories to flock here in frenzy.

The only discomfort in the words of the War God Temple’s Master of Luo Yun Mountain was the establishment of the Alchemy Path.

The Gu Yuan Tribe had attained its current status not least due to its alchemy skills; now, they were supposed to spread these skills outward.

"Tribe leader!"

"Great tribe leader, why should the Alchemy Path be passed on?"

Suddenly, warriors in the Great Hall voiced out in unison to Xiao Chen, their eyes filled with bafflement.

"The transmission of the Alchemy Path is a decree personally issued by me!" Hearing the voices of many elders, Xiao Chen’s voice rose and instantly overwhelmed everyone else.

"Tribe leader!"

Suddenly, voices rose; they were all elders of the clan, obviously aware that over the years, just through elixir trade with other clans, their own clan had earned tremendous profits.

But now, the tribe leader was about to throw away such benefits. Although it was hard to master alchemy skills in a short time, three to five years, or even ten to eighteen years,

once these warriors who came to learn the alchemy arts took their skills back to their own clans, all the clans would become self-sufficient, and where would that leave the need for the elixirs from the Gu Yuan Tribe?

"Enough!"

Xiao Chen shouted sternly, and immediately an imposing aura surged, sweeping through the entire hall, causing the previously vociferous elders to suddenly tremble and fall silent.

"Previously, I had already mentioned that our Gu Yuan Tribe has a shallow foundation and hasn’t been tempered by time; how could we command the Border Wasteland? The Border Wasteland is now our fiefdom, and to command it, the Gu Yuan Tribe must contribute to it. This is mutually reinforcing,"

"In the future, the entire Border Wasteland will belong to our Gu Yuan Tribe. Enhancing the strength of the clans in the Border Wasteland Region is itself a way to solidify our own foundation," Xiao Chen’s voice thundered, silencing everyone again. However, some venerated elders remained silent, deeply pondering Xiao Chen’s words.

"Enough, the War God Temple is establishing four new branches, and we need warriors to take charge, especially for the Alchemy Path and the Formation Way."

A moment later, Xiao Chen’s aura subsided, allowing the elders in the hall to breathe a sigh of relief. The imposing manner Xiao Chen brought was overwhelmingly powerful; even without any outward display of aura, every move he made exerted a heavy pressure on them.

"However, luckily in the Hundred Herbs Pavilion, there are two Grand Alchemists. Blessed by fate, there are signs of advancement to Grandmaster of the Alchemy Path, truly a fortunate event for our Gu Yuan Tribe."

Grandmaster of the Alchemy Path?

Immediately, even though they were all caught up in Xiao Chen’s words, the ranking of alchemists encompassed Junior Alchemist, Senior Alchemist, Grand Alchemist, Grandmaster of the Alchemy Path, Great Grandmaster of the Alchemy Path, and at the pinnacle, Medicine King.

And a Grandmaster of the Alchemy Path is no longer merely following standard procedures in elixir crafting, but has understood the principles of medicines, capable of adjusting the proportion of medicinal herbs according to the Martial Arts Repair’s level and physique, crafting the most suitable elixir for the particular warrior.

And a Grandmaster was even capable of crafting elixirs that venerable powers could consume; how could this not astonish the elders present?

"Xiao Mo, Mu Qianhuo, where are you?"

"Here!" Two warriors quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Chen.

They were the two Grand Alchemists from the Hundred Herbs Hall who were on the verge of advancing to become a Grandmaster of Alchemy.

The two were not very powerful, one in the third level of the Towering Realm, the other in the second level of the Towering Realm, but they were old-timers who had started with Xiao Chen.

They were once alchemists of the Gu Yuan Tribe, but there weren’t true alchemists in the original Gu Yuan Tribe, only simple mixers of medicinal herbs, often with effects no better than consuming the herbs directly.

Latterly, Xiao Chen established the Hundred Herbs Hall, Mu Qing became the hall master, and Mu Qing invited them into the Hundred Herbs Hall. Although they were already in their youth by then, their love for the Alchemy Path allowed them to burgeon and advance further in the field.

Moreover, Xiao Mo was also related to Xiao Chen.

"Effective immediately, Xiao Mo will replace Mu Qing as the new master of the Hundred Herbs Hall, and Mu Qianhuo will lead a portion of the alchemists from the hall to join the War God Temple, becoming the master of the War God Temple Medicine Pavilion," Xiao Chen announced.

There was a moment of murmuring.

Xiao Chen’s command caught the warriors in the hall off guard, the adjustment seemed too significant.

"Chieftain..."

Xiao Mo and Mu Qianhuo also had exclamations in their eyes, equally shocked and rendered speechless.

"Chieftain, this must not be done, we are obsessed with alchemy and neglect social interactions, how can we lead a hall?"

"Please retract your order, Chieftain!"

Having regained their composure, both of them bowed respectfully, not daring to accept the new positions.

"As the Gu Yuan Tribe develops, all major halls are undergoing changes. If you two are obsessed with alchemy, you may appoint two vice hall masters, vice pavilion masters to take over daily affairs. You only need to be in charge of overseeing the entire hall!"

Xiao Chen waved his hand, stopping their refusals, then spoke aloud.

"Both of you have been diligent in the Hundred Herbs Hall over the years, producing elixirs for the tribe, a fact everyone in the tribe has witnessed. How can you not be fit for these positions of hall master and pavilion master?"

Just then, Mu Qing, who had been silent beside Xiao Chen, spoke. As the original hall master of the Hundred Herbs Hall and now even ranked among the supremely revered, commanding respect and authority among all the venerable elders of the tribe, his words carried weight and dignity.

"Our Hundred Herbs Hall has a multitude of alchemists. Some trifles are handled only by other elders. You two just need to lead the entire hall properly, it won’t interfere with your pursuit of alchemical studies."

"Yes!"

Finally, both accepted Xiao Chen’s appointment.

"Elders, though our Gu Yuan Tribe has suffered heavy losses in this recent battle of blood, our tribal strength is continuously increasing. The strengths of all elders present have significantly improved as well."

"In these past years, every major hall of our Gu Yuan Tribe has seen rapid development in strength, with each hall master even achieving the status of the revered. This is indeed a fortunate event for our tribe."

"However, the crisis from the outside world has not only failed to disappear but is also showing a trend of becoming more intense. I hope all elders do not take it lightly."

"Yes!"

After a pause, Xiao Chen then said, "In the next two years, the Border Wasteland can at most enjoy a period of stability, so all elders need to do their utmost to enhance their own cultivation and strengthen our tribe."

...

One hour later, Blue Stone Garden.

Xiao Chen sat on a stone chair beneath the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood, with wafts of fragrance drifting before him.

This faint fragrance came from a pot of Spirit Tea that Mu Qing was brewing. The crystal-clear tea dripped from the pot, enveloped in layers of spirit mist, with droplets of water intermixed, resembling a light drizzle falling just above Mu Qing’s hands.

The entire mist shimmered brilliantly, extremely dazzling and utterly dreamlike.

Nianhua was attentively watching every move made by Mu Qing, and the tea being brewed was called Spirit Mist Tea. Once brewed, it would form a cloud of mist above the teacup, all gathered from the spiritual energy of the tea leaves, which was also beneficial for warriors in their cultivation, providing cleansing for their blood and flesh.

"Sister Qing Er’s tea brewing skills have indeed grown more proficient. Not having official duties indeed feels more relaxed; it’s nice to drink a cup of Spirit Tea after getting tired from cultivation," said Nianhua lazily, stretching and revealing her curvaceous body, looking somewhat interested.

"My dear disciples are coming," she quickly composed herself and sat upright on the stone chair, smiling towards the direction of the courtyard’s stone gate.

"Greetings, Master; greetings, Mistress!"

Soon, Xiao Chen’s nine disciples walked into Blue Stone Garden hand in hand, bowing respectfully to both Xiao Chen and Mu Qing.

"You’ve arrived, no need for such formalities," Xiao Chen waved his hand.

"Yuan’er, come here!" However, Mu Qing and Nianhua didn’t bother too much and waved at Zi Yuan to come closer.

"Mistress," said Zi Yuan with a sweet smile, rushing towards Nianhua.

This scene caused her fellow disciples behind her to twitch their eyes. Among them, only Zi Yuan received such treatment and was adored by everyone, and, indeed, they too were quite fond of their little junior sister, who often teased them in the past.
