Gu Yuan Tribe.
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged at the top of the stone pagoda that was several hundred feet tall with his eyes closed. He was dressed in azure Battle Armor. However, what was different from before was that there were purple-gold patterns on the edges of this azure Battle Armor. This made the azure Battle Armor look even more mysterious.
After the previous battles, Xiao Chen's original armor had already become tattered. The cyan armor he was wearing now was made by the craftsmen of the Gu Yuan Tribe. They had gathered all the precious materials and ores collected by several tribes, and after being forged by underground fire for seven days and seven nights, mysterious patterns had even appeared on the surface of the armor. The appearance of patterns on a weapon was a sign that it was a mid-grade combat weapon. Although the armor only barely had a mysterious pattern, it still meant that it was already a mid-grade artifact. Of course, this was also because the Gu Yuan Tribe was too weak and the craftsmen of the tribe had limited skills. Otherwise, the grade of the artifact would not be as simple as just barely reaching mid-grade.
In the tribe below him, the clansmen were extremely busy. The city gate was wide open, and thousands of clansmen were entering and exiting. Carriages filled with herbs, ores, and beast bones were escorted by the clan soldiers into the clan warehouse of the Gu Yuan Tribe. In front of the warehouse, the Internal Affairs Elder was grinning from ear to ear as he looked at the carriages full of resources.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was wearing a purplish-green armor. He stood tall and straight. Xiao Chen's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened. Two rays of cyan light flashed across them as he turned around to look at the people behind him.
Behind him were two beautiful figures. They were Mu Qing and Lin Cai 'er.
"Big Brother Xiao Chen, you're pretending to be profound again."
As Xiao Chen's prestige continued to grow, there was no one else in the Gu Yuan Tribe who dared to speak to Xiao Chen in such a manner other than Lin Cai 'er. Furthermore, since he couldn't keep up with Lin Cai' er's pestering, Xiao Chen had spent a lot of resources to train this little she-devil into a Blood Refining Realm warrior.
Knowing this little she-devil's personality, Xiao Chen didn't open his eyes to look at her. Instead, he looked at Mu Qing who had come with him. Lin Cai 'er wasn't angry at all. Instead, she giggled and quickly walked up to Xiao Chen and hugged his arm.
"Qing 'er, what's the matter?"
As the Hall Master of the Hundred Herb Hall, Mu Qing could be said to be very responsible. This was especially so after Xiao Chen had given her an inheritance of medicinal herbs. She was so engrossed in her work that she forgot to eat and sleep. This was because she had discovered that she was very talented in the way of refining medicinal herbs. She could easily grasp the medicinal effects of medicinal herbs during the process of refining pills and easily form pills. Now, under Xiao Chen's decision, the Gu Yuan Tribe had to refine large quantities of Bone-tempering Pills and other elixirs every month. These elixirs were now very easy for her to refine.
"It's like this, Big Brother Xiao. My Gu Yuan Tribe has a vast territory. Coupled with the hard work of a group of servants, who travel through the Vast Wilderness every day to collect medicinal herbs and hunt beasts for my Gu Yuan Tribe, a large number of medicinal herbs, beast bones, and precious blood are sent to the Pavilion of Herbs every day!"
After hearing Mu Qing's words, Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile. "Could it be that Qing 'er dislikes having too many medicinal herbs?"
"No, no. Now that the Hundred Herb Hall has just been established, our Gu Yuan Tribe has a lot of members. It would be a bit of a waste to have so many medicinal herbs and beast bones piled up in the storehouse. Qing 'er wants to pick some young cultivators from the tribe to train and see if they have any talent in alchemy. Even if they can only make some ordinary medicinal plasters, it would still be of some help to the tribe!"
"As the Hall Master of the Hundred Herb Hall, Qing 'er can make her own arrangements. As long as it is beneficial to the development of our Gu Yuan Tribe, Big Brother Xiao will support it!"
"Big Brother Xiao, it's like this. If there are some people in the tribe who have some talent in alchemy, then can you give them the alchemy book that you passed on to Qing 'er?"
From his own alchemy inheritance, Xiao Chen had copied a portion of the shallow alchemy book and passed it on to Mu Qing. He didn't expect that Mu Qing's talent in alchemy was even greater than his own. Mu Qing was like a fish in water when it came to alchemy, so Xiao Chen was pleasantly surprised by this.
As the chosen inheritor of the supreme treasure, the Mountain and River Seal, Xiao Chen had always treated it as an auxiliary dao that would help him climb to a higher level. He understood that the Great Desolate was filled with dangers everywhere, and only with strength would one be able to laugh proudly in the sky. This was why he purposely copied down this alchemy inheritance and gave it to Mu Qing in order to train Mu Qing into an alchemy master.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen continued: "Big Brother Xiao passed this alchemy dao to you because he wants you to carry it forward so that our Gu Yuan Tribe's inheritance will never end. However, this alchemy inheritance is too rare. Even the four overlord tribes of the Giant Rock Valley don't have it. Thus, Qing 'er can pick a few people from the tribe to privately train and see if they have any talent in the alchemy dao. Only then will I decide whether or not to pass it on to them!"
"Also, divide the alchemy book I passed on to you into several levels. Only those who meet the requirements, contribute to our Gu Yuan Tribe, or have the approval of more than half of the three elders and several hall masters, will be able to receive the alchemy inheritance!
Big Brother Xiao only mentioned the general situation. As for the details, Qing 'er, you will have to decide for yourself. "
"At the same time, Qing 'er needs to pay attention to some precious herbs, especially those that are hundreds of years old and above. These are all treasures of the tribe. If necessary, you can inform Huang Liang and have him mobilize the tribe's soldiers. Even if it means robbing, you have to take them back!"
"Big Brother Xiao Chen, you see, Big Sister Mu Qing is the master of the Hundred Herb Hall and is busy every day for the tribe. Now that Cai 'er is also a Blood Refinement warrior, how about Big Brother Xiao Chen let Cai' er join the tribe's soldiers and go to the Great Desolate to protect our Gu Yuan Tribe's mine!"
"No, you will stay in the tribe with your Big Sister Mu Qing and take care of the affairs of the Hundred Herb Hall!"
Xiao Chen rejected Lin Cai 'er's request without hesitation. He didn't care about her angry expression at all. What a joke. If this little demoness became the tribe's soldiers stationed at the Yuan Stone Mine, who knew what kind of mess would happen?
Now, the Wandering Warrior Tribes that were wreaking havoc in the Ancient Yuan Tribe's territory had been chased out by the Ancient Yuan Tribe's soldiers. Of course, the tribes that wanted to fish in troubled waters paid a price before they could escape miserably. For example, in order to survive, the Clear Spring Tribe's Chief had finally agreed to hand over five hundred sabers and two hundred sets of battle armor before he could escape. This also served as a warning to the surrounding tribes. The Ancient Yuan Tribe's territory was no longer a place where any random tribe could show off their might with a saber.
Over the past few days, because the Yuan Stone Mine had become an abandoned mine, the mining area had gradually quietened down. The people of the Gu Yuan Tribe also gradually got on the right track. Every day, there would be people going deep into the wasteland to hunt beasts, hunt for food, and train themselves. Every day, there would be people escorting large amounts of herbs, ores, and beast bones back from thousands of miles away. These resources were constantly being converted into the tribe's strength by the Gu Yuan Tribe.
At the same time, in order to guard against the Great Elder of the Treasure Elephant Tribe, who had disappeared for a long time, Xiao Chen did not leave the tribe. It had been more than a month now. It seemed that Young Master Xiang Tian had already spread the news of the war between the Gu Yuan Tribe and the Treasure Elephant Tribe. Due to the rules of the Great Wilderness, the Treasure Elephant Tribe did not openly besiege the Gu Yuan Tribe. However, Xiao Chen still didn't dare to take this lightly, because his enemy was the Treasure Elephant Tribe.
This name represented a heritage of 3,000 years. It also represented the territory and warriors that this tribe directly or indirectly controlled. It was enough to crush the Gu Yuan Tribe hundreds of times over!
