Xiao Chen's move greatly pacified the restless hearts of the people in the tribe. The new vassals of the Gu Yuan Tribe also swallowed their anxiety.
After solving the most important problem of the tribe, Xiao Chen once again became a hands-off manager, handing over other affairs of the tribe to the First Elder and others. During this period, he met up with Mu Qing, Lin Cai 'er, and the others for a short time to verify their martial arts realms.
Under the effects of the medicinal baths, Huang Liang and the others were already half-step Blood Refinement cultivators. It wasn't long before they would be able to open their first meridian. The rest would depend on their luck. Perhaps they would be able to break through in the next moment, or perhaps they wouldn't even be able to break through in the next year.
Finally, Xiao Chen took out some medicinal herbs and gave them to them. He also told Lin Cai 'er, who was the most energetic among them, to calm down. Everything would come naturally.
After arranging all the affairs of the tribe, Xiao Chen returned to the top of the stone tower. He needed to do closed-door training to make a breakthrough in order to accumulate strength for the upcoming tribe war. After all, the strength of the Mysterious Snake and Kui Shui tribes could not be compared with that of the Black Mountain and Withered Wood tribes. It was not an exaggeration to say that the combined strength of the two tribes could match several Black Mountain and Withered Wood tribes.
Strong neighbors and weak people, especially these two neighbors who were hostile to him, made the situation of the Gu Yuan Tribe more and more difficult. The rapid development of the tribe was also interrupted.
Xiao Chen was now at the peak of the Early-stage of the Blood Refining Realm. He had opened three of the twelve meridians in his body. The Battle Qi in the three meridians flowed with each other, forming a small Zhou Tian.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, Xiao Chen kept thinking about his current realm. He knew that his top priority was to improve his strength as soon as possible. Based on the current situation, breaking through to the Middle-stage of the Blood Refining Realm was the easiest.
Although he had already comprehended the embryonic form of the will of massacre, comprehending a state was not something that could be done in a day. This was related to his comprehension of the Martial Way. The deeper his comprehension of the Martial Way, the more profound his comprehension of the will would be. From the looks of it, he had already reached his limit. Unless he obtained another stalk of Spirit Herb No Returning Grass or some other treasure that contained the will of massacre, he would not be able to do so.
As for the Supreme Body Tempering Secret Technique that he obtained from the trip to Duanmu City, the Purple-Gold Battle Physique, he could not use it at this moment. Firstly, this Secret Technique required several times more resources than the Qi Path Cultivation Technique. Secondly, it required time to temper his body. Unfortunately, Xiao Chen did not have these two conditions at the moment. Although the Secret Technique was good, he could only put it aside for now.
These days, every time Xiao Chen experienced a battle, he would feel that the Battle Qi in his body was running out. This was because the Middle-grade Mortal Level Secret Technique that he was practicing could not keep up with the consumption speed of the Battle Qi. Therefore, when he received the Middle-grade Middle-grade "Pure Yuan Technique" from Hu Guyue, he had already wanted to switch to another Secret Technique.
However, in the past few months, Xiao Chen had not had the time to switch to this Secret Technique. Therefore, today, he decided to switch to this "Pure Yuan Technique".
This Secret Technique was only a good one among the Middle-grade Secret Techniques. It could further purify the Battle Qi in one's body. If it was not because of the purification effect, Xiao Chen would not switch to another Secret Technique. After all, this Secret Technique was not of a high level. For Xiao Chen, it was just a transitional Secret Technique. In the future, he would need to search for more advanced Secret Techniques.
At this moment, all the contents of this Secret Technique had already been imprinted in Xiao Chen's mind. He ran the Pure Yuan Technique with all his strength, transforming the vast and ancient Barbaric Qi in his body into the unique pure Yuan Qi of the Pure Yuan Technique. The abundant Yuan Qi constantly surged through his body.
His eyes cracked open, and two beams of light shot out. The last trace of Barbaric Qi in Xiao Chen's body dissipated. At this moment, all the Barbaric Bull Battle Qi in his body had been completely transformed. It was already dawn, and a new day had arrived. Fortunately, he had already handed over the tribe's affairs. During his seclusion, unless it was a matter of life and death for the tribe, the first elder Tie Wen would not disturb him.
After adjusting his breath for a moment, Xiao Chen waved his right hand, and a simple and unadorned wooden box suddenly appeared in his hand. He gently opened the wooden box, and a wisp of medicinal fragrance rushed out. Even if it was just a whiff of the fragrance, it would immediately lift one's spirit.
Inside the wooden box was a Thousand Year Blood Ginseng. It was one of the three Thousand Year Spirit Herbs that Hu Guyue had left behind when she left the Gu Yuan Tribe. It was really a case of searching high and low for something like this. In the entire Gu Yuan Tribe, there might not even be one Thousand Year Blood Ginseng for several years. At first, he felt that the item that Hu Guyue had taken out was not to his taste, but now it seemed that it was a life-saving medicine.
This Thousand Year Blood Ginseng was in the category of Spirit Herbs, and the medicinal power it contained was pure and rich. It was not in the same league as ordinary Spirit Herbs. It was shaped like a baby, and its legs were long and slender. Although it had left the earth for an unknown period of time, everything in the world had a spirit. As a Thousand Year Spirit Herb, it even had a faint consciousness, and it knew how to avoid danger. The moment Xiao Chen opened the box, the Blood Ginseng even began to tremble, as if it wanted to escape from this place.
As an alchemist with a supreme inheritance, Xiao Chen naturally knew that directly refining this Blood Ginseng would be a reckless waste. However, with the current crisis of the tribe, he did not have much time to refine this Blood Ginseng into a pill. Of course, with his current alchemist realm, he could not refine this Thousand Year Spirit Herb into a pill.
However, Xiao Chen had a supreme alchemy inheritance, so he could add supplementary ingredients to maximize the medicinal effect of this Blood Ginseng. With another wave of his hand, several supplementary ingredients floated in front of Xiao Chen.
Staring at the medicinal ingredients in front of him, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a strange light. Suddenly, with a thought, he grabbed the air in front of him, and all the ingredients flew in front of him.
In the next moment, the Pure Essence Technique in his body circulated rapidly. In an instant, it was as if his body had transformed into a black hole. With a suction force, all the medicinal essences of the supplementary herbs were sucked away, and they quickly withered. As for the thousand-year-old Spirit Herb, although it was not as unbearable, it was still withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. A boundless medicinal energy was released from the herb itself, and all the essence was extracted. A scarlet medicinal essence that gave off an incomparably alluring scent entered Xiao Chen's mouth.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's body was like a bottomless black hole, continuously devouring the endless medicinal power. The majestic medicinal power entered his body, but it did not cause any ripples. In the blink of an eye, this Thousand Year Blood Ginseng, which already had the intelligence of a baby, was only left with a dried up, blood red skin. When Xiao Chen's energy dissipated, this blood red skin was like a weathered rock, instantly turning into powder that floated in the air.
