When Xiao Chen and Mu Qing walked out of the main hall hand in hand, a few figures were already standing under the heavy archway that exuded a savage aura. They were the Great Elder and a few other Blood Refining Realm warriors who had stayed behind in the tribe.
"Sister Mu, did you break through?!"
A cheerful voice sounded as a colorful figure rushed in front of Mu Qing. Who else could it be but Lin Cai 'er? In the entire Gu Yuan Tribe, she was the only one who could be so unscrupulous, regardless of the situation.
Lin Cai 'er hugged Mu Qing's arm like a little girl. Her eyes sparkled like little stars as she pouted. "Sister Mu, did Big Brother Chief secretly give you a miracle pill? Cai' er is so pitiful. Now that Big Brother Chief has Sister Mu Qing, he doesn't like Cai 'er anymore!"
Although the women of the Great Wilderness had lofty sentiments that were not inferior to the men, Lin Cai 'er's unrestrained words still made Mu Qing's pretty face heat up.
At this moment, Mu Qing's body had already returned to its original state. The purple light and the ancient seal characters on his eyebrows had also disappeared. The Inheritance Divine Weapon was originally a treasure at the level of a Human Combat Weapon, and it had been stored into his body.
Ignoring Lin Cai 'er's jesting, Xiao Chen let her and Mu Qing whisper to each other at the side. He walked forward and said, "Everyone, don't panic. The Blood Qi explosion just now was caused by Hall Master Mu breaking through to the late Blood Refining Realm. Our Gu Yuan Tribe has another late Blood Refining Realm warrior!"
What?!
It's true!
Although everyone had their own guesses, the Great Elder and the others still laughed heartily when they heard Xiao Chen's confirmation. A year ago, the Gu Yuan Tribe had more than ten thousand tribesmen and less than a thousand soldiers. Their only Blood Refining Realm warrior had gone missing, and the tribe was surrounded by danger. But now, they had thousands of soldiers and nearly twenty Blood Refining Realm warriors. This kind of strength had already multiplied dozens of times. Who would have thought that a tribe that was on the verge of extinction could actually change so much in a year? There were always miracles in this world!
After another ten days, outside the Gu Yuan Tribe, a tribe of about ten thousand people arrived outside the mountain walls of the Gu Yuan Tribe under the leadership of chiliarch Mu Wuya. This was a low-ranked combat division called the Fire Rhino Tribe. However, their foundation had been completely exhausted by the wave of vengeful spirits. The entire tribe only had one early Blood Refining Realm warrior left, and he was even gravely injured.
After more than ten days of trekking, this tribe that had already suffered a great disaster once again lost some tribesmen. Most of these people were either old or injured. They were old and frail, their Blood Qi dried up, or their bodies were weak and unable to endure the long journey. In addition, they were attacked by vicious beasts along the way. In the end, some of them were unable to endure the long journey.
"Reporting to Patriarch, Wuya was fortunate enough to not disappoint you. The Fire Rhino Tribe, which is five thousand kilometers away, has been incorporated into our Gu Yuan Tribe. Currently, the Fire Rhino Tribe has more than 11,800 tribesmen, 20 centurions, and one chiliarch, who is the young patriarch of the tribe!"
In the great hall, chiliarch Mu Wuya bowed and reported to Xiao Chen. At this moment, there was a pale-faced young warrior beside him. However, his aura was weak and he seemed to be heavily injured.
"Xi Ling greets Patriarch. Thank you for taking us in!"
Xi Ling was the young patriarch of the Fire Rhino Tribe. Originally, the Fire Rhino Tribe had three Blood Refining Realm warriors. They were Xi Ming's father and uncle, the previous patriarch and elder. However, they had died in battle in the great wilderness.
This Xi Ling was around thirty years old and had a cultivation at the early Blood Refining Realm. He could be considered a genius warrior. However, this was not what Xiao Chen valued the most about the Fire Rhino Tribe. Instead, it was the Fire Rhino Tribe's armor-making technology that he desired the most.
Fire Rhino Leather Armor!
This was the origin of the Fire Rhino Tribe's name. This Fire Rhino Leather Armor was the Fire Rhino Tribe's secret. Even if it was a barter between tribes, the Fire Rhino Tribe would not take out so many leather armors to trade with the same tribe. Moreover, the number of leather armors they traded each time would not exceed a hundred. Every high quality Fire Rhino Leather Armor was worth half a low grade origin stone. Even the price of the armor of a sergeant or centurion would be higher. After so many years, the Gu Yuan Tribe had only managed to trade a few hundred pieces. Moreover, apart from the damaged ones, there were not many left.
Now that he had the opportunity to take over the Fire Rhino Tribe, the Fire Rhino Armor would belong to the Gu Yuan Tribe in the future.
"Lord Patriarch, this is the secret method of making the Fire Rhino Armor. Today, I offer it to Lord Patriarch as a gift for taking us in!"
As he spoke, Xi Ling took out an ancient beast skin and respectfully presented it to Xiao Chen. At this moment, he had already decided to join the Gu Yuan Tribe. He understood that he could not keep the secret method of making leather armor, so he might as well offer it first and leave a good impression in front of Xiao Chen.
"Patriarch, the Fire Rhino Tribe's tribesmen have been on a long and arduous journey. Many of them are injured. Now that Xi Ling has led his tribe to join the Gu Yuan Tribe, these tribesmen already belong to the Gu Yuan Tribe. I hope that Lord Patriarch will treat them equally!"
"I have already arranged for the tribe's elders to settle the tribesmen's residences. I have also sent the tribe's pharmacists to take care of the injured tribesmen. The Gu Yuan Tribe has enough blood-eating herbs so that the tribesmen will not starve and their injuries will be treated!"
"Thank you, Lord Patriarch!"
As he spoke, a white porcelain bottle appeared in Xiao Chen's hand and flew towards Xi Ming. Looking at Xi Ming's surprised expression, Xiao Chen said, "From now on, you and I are one family. My Gu Yuan Tribe will not treat you unfairly. According to the rules of the human race, Xi Ming is an early stage Blood Refining Realm warrior. I will appoint you as a chiliarch of the Gu Yuan Tribe. However, the most important thing is to recover from your injuries. This white porcelain bottle contains a Blood Refining Realm healing elixir. It will be enough to completely heal your injuries!"
What!
Elixir!
Xi Ling was immediately stunned by Xiao Chen's words. It was as if he was hallucinating. The alchemy dao of the Great Desolate did not appear in the world and was hard to find. Xiao Chen saw Xi Ming's expression, but he did not know that Xiao Chen was doing it on purpose. Seeing that it was working, Xiao Chen no longer cared about him. It was better for him to think about some things himself!
A human's imagination was limitless.
"Chiliarch Mu, in the next few days, you will bring Chiliarch Xi around to familiarize himself with my Gu Yuan Tribe. Do not neglect him!"
After walking out of the hall, Xi Ming 'an could not suppress the surprise in his heart. He gently opened the bottle stopper, and a round pill pierced into the depths of his eyes. Above the pill, dense medicinal power rose up in bursts of mist.
"This … is a real elixir!
Chiliarch Mu, could it be …? "
Xi Ming looked at Mu Wuya in shock, but Mu Wuya only smiled mysteriously in return.
"I can't say. Let's go, Chiliarch Xi Ming. I will bring you to your residence. In my Gu Yuan Tribe, chiliarchs can obtain a green stone garden with a circumference of a hundred zhang as their residence!"
