The so-called foundation not only referred to the sufficient resources of the tribe, but also a kind of inheritance that had not been lost for thousands of years. As long as the inheritance was not lost, the later generations would be able to carry on the past.
For example, the Gu Yuan Tribe had been reproducing for 800 years. If it was not for the appearance of an anomaly like Xiao Chen in Xiao Chen's generation, the Gu Yuan Tribe's inheritance of 800 years might have been destroyed.
Matchless World was the only Blood Refining Realm cultivator in the tribe. Since the previous tribe leader had suddenly disappeared, there were no more Blood Refining Realm cultivators in the tribe. The remaining people did not know the secrets of the Blood Refining Realm. Thus, the difficulty of breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm would be greatly increased.
As the successor of the tribe leader, Xiao Chen had accidentally broken through to the Blood Refining Realm and made up for the lost inheritance.
After explaining the matters to pay attention to when breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm, Xiao Chen waved his hand and let everyone leave. After all, the tribe was in danger. The earlier they broke through to the Blood Refining Realm, the more assurance Gu Yuan would have.
After everyone left, Xiao Chen did not continue to cultivate. Instead, he quietly left the stone pagoda and arrived at the ancestral hall at the border of the tribe. This was the place where the old man Gu Lin lived. Perhaps it was because of old age or some other reason, Gu Lin rejected Xiao Chen's idea of arranging a new residence for him and letting other tribesmen guard the ancestral hall.
It was as if he could only feel a trace of peace in this densely packed and smoky place.
"Old ancestor!"
Gently pushing open the door, Xiao Chen shouted in a deep voice. At this moment, he could feel a weak aura coughing continuously in the ancestral hall.
Quickly entering the stone house and arriving in front of the old man, Xiao Chen hurriedly grabbed his hand and carefully injected his Battle Qi into the old man's body. At this moment, he could feel the old man's body trembling even more violently.
The old man's body had indeed reached the end of the line. The bones in his body were already covered with dense cracks. The merciless passage of time had completely destroyed the old man's body. His withered arm was like a withered firewood, without any color of blood and shaped like a chicken's claw.
Without caring about anything else, Xiao Chen waved his hand again. Suddenly, over 10 white porcelain bottles appeared in his hand. In an instant, 10 crystal clear pills appeared in his hand. In the next moment, Xiao Chen activated his Battle Qi and the majestic Battle Qi turned these pills into powder.
These pills were precisely the pills that Xiao Chen had refined a few days ago. They had the effect of healing injuries and replenishing the body. At this moment, he waved his hand once again. This medicinal powder that was originally in the form of powder was injected into the old man Gu Lin's flesh. The gentle medicinal power was slowly released under Xiao Chen's control. In an instant, it entered the old man's limbs and bones. It replenished the originally exhausted Qi and blood, stabilized the rotting internal organs, and repaired the broken muscles, bones, and skin.
The dozen or so pills that had turned into medicinal powder caused the old man's withered body to feel like it had finally rained after a long drought. He swallowed the medicinal power in large mouthfuls, and his originally shriveled body seemed to be filled up at this moment.
At this moment, the old man clenched his teeth and grabbed Xiao Chen's shoulder without saying a word. His head full of white hair became somewhat messy under the majestic strength. His originally turbid gaze also became as dazzling as fire.
As his heartstrings moved, Xiao Chen let out a deep roar from his throat. All the floating Qi of Heaven and Earth within a radius of hundreds of meters was captured by him and instantly integrated into his body. Using his body as a medium, he once again transported it into the old man's body.
After a long time, when he saw that the old man's body was no longer wobbling like dry firewood, Xiao Chen stopped. He immediately supported the old man and asked with concern, "Old Ancestor, how do you feel?"
The old man did not reject Xiao Chen's support. He gently patted Xiao Chen with his withered big hand and said with excitement in his turbid eyes, "I feel much better. Old Ancestor, your old bones should have died long ago. How many people in the Great Wilderness could have a good death? It's already very fortunate that I've been alive for so many years. I didn't expect to see the day when my Gu Yuan Tribe expands our territory. Even if I die, I can still brag about it to my old brothers!"
"Old Ancestor, you will definitely live until the day my Gu Yuan Tribe receives the respect of all the tribes."
"Haha, I'm getting old. I know my own body well. I'm already at the end of my rope. Why should I waste medicinal ingredients on a dying person? People are going to die anyway. I'll give these pills to the tribe's warriors. It can also strengthen my Gu Yuan Tribe."
Seeing that Xiao Chen still wanted to say something, the old man patted the back of his hand again and said, "Alright, you're already the tribe leader now. You're very busy with the tribe's affairs. You won't come here unless there's something special."
As he spoke, Xiao Chen helped the old man into a stone house at the side of the ancestral hall. This stone house was specially built for the people who guarded the ancestral hall. The stone bed in the house was covered with two thick layers of tiger skin. The soft fur isolated the stone bed from the cold. These two tiger skins were obtained by Xiao Chen when he personally went to the Great Wilderness to hunt two Flame Tigers.
In the center of the stone house, there was a burning charcoal fire in a stone basin. Above the fire, there was a huge jar filled with golden and glossy beast meat. Under the burning charcoal fire, the meat emitted a human aura. The entire stone house seemed warm and cozy.
After helping the old man to lie down on the stone bed, before Xiao Chen could speak, the old man shook his head and said, "Old Ancestor knows that even with you taking care of my body, I don't have much time left to live. This is the cycle of heaven and cannot be reversed. However, before I die, it's enough for me to see you hold up the sky for the Gu Yuan Tribe."
"Old Ancestor!" Xiao Chen suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and said in a deep voice.
Gu Lin stretched out his shriveled hand and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder. Feeling somewhat moved, he said, "Chen`er, I watched you grow up. Tell me, is the Gu Yuan Tribe able to survive the danger it is facing this time?"
"Yes!
The Gu Yuan Tribe will definitely survive this crisis! "
After looking at Xiao Chen's determined expression for a long time, the old man's eyes lit up again. It was obvious that he still believed in Xiao Chen's words.
"Old Ancestor, there's a saying in the art of war: know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. It's said that having an elder at home is like having a treasure. You've been through a hundred years and encountered many dangers. The experience you've accumulated must be extraordinary. Is there something unknown about the Mysterious Snake and Kui Water Tribes?"
"Yes, there are some secrets. Behind the Kui Water Tribe is the Treasure Elephant Tribe, one of the four overlord tribes in the Giant Rock Valley. That's why the Kui Water Tribe is so unscrupulous."
What!
"The Treasure Elephant Tribe!" Xiao Chen's heart couldn't help but explode when he heard the Old Ancestor's words.
A cold light flashed in his eyes. It was really a small world for enemies.
Not long ago, he had just formed a grudge with the Treasure Elephant Tribe's Xiang Tian. Now, the Treasure Elephant Tribe's lackeys had come to besiege the Gu Yuan Tribe. In that case, the Kui Water Tribe would be the interest before the battle began!
