"This old bull obtained a spirit herb by chance in the depths of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range. I must use it to remove the Hexagonal Bone in my body before I can speak."
Under Xiao Chen's threats and promises, the Dragonblooded Full Moon Rhinoceros finally surrendered. Of course, Xiao Chen's strength also convinced the Full Moon Rhinoceros. After all, Xiao Chen's physique was comparable to the Full Moon Rhinoceros race. With such talent, it could be seen that Xiao Chen was not an ordinary cultivator.
Moreover, Liu Li said that Xiao Chen was an alchemy grandmaster. Although it was a savage beast, its inherited memories had a vague description of an alchemist. This made Xiao Chen even more mysterious.
After listening to the Full Moon Rhinoceros' story, Xiao Chen finally understood why this Full Moon Rhinoceros could speak. However, he was more interested in what kind of spirit herb this Full Moon Rhinoceros consumed.
For ferocious beasts, refining the Hyoid Bone at the Five Star level and being able to speak the human language at the Six Star level was a difficult hurdle to overcome. Of course, there was a special medicine in the Wasteland that could allow a ferocious beast to transform into a human form even without advancing to the Six Star level. This medicine was known as the Transformation Grass. However, this medicine was extremely difficult to find and was completely useless to humans.
With the Full Moon Rhinoceros surrendering, the following matters became extremely simple. The entire herd of Full Moon Rhinoceros entered the Savage Beast Secret Realm.
This herd of Full Moon Rhinoceros had a total of 16,800 Full Moon Rhinoceros. Among them, there were 153 Third Star Full Moon Rhinoceros. In other words, there were 153 Full Moon Rhinoceros comparable to the human race's First Heavenly Layer to the Fifth Heavenly Layer.
There were five Four-star Full Moon Rhinoceroses, four of which were in the early stage of Four-star, corresponding to the realm of human venerable. The last one was the leader of the Full Moon Rhinoceroses, which was in the late stage of Four-star, and its strength was roughly equivalent to the great venerable of the human race Heavenly Building Realm seventh layer. This was equivalent to gathering more than a hundred Heavenly Building Realm combat power at once.
What caught Xiao Chen's attention was the potential of these Full Moon Rhinoceroses. After moving these Full Moon Rhinoceroses into the Mountain and River Seal Heavenly Cave, Xiao Chen had Liu Li carve out an independent secret realm for the Full Moon Rhinoceroses to live separately from the Ominous Beast Secret Realm.
Not only that, but Xiao Chen had also made an agreement with the leader of the Full Moon Rhinoceros that he would not force the Full Moon Rhinoceros tribe. If the warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe wanted to tame a Full Moon Rhinoceros as a battle beast, they would have to rely on their own combat strength and pass a test before they could choose a Full Moon Rhinoceros as a companion. This was a kind of companionship that shared weal and woe.
"Swear it!"
An invisible wave was generated in the void. Then, it split into two parts and integrated into the bodies of Xiao Chen and the Full Moon Rhinoceros respectively.
This Full Moon Rhinoceros leader called itself Niu Ben. After making the oath, this Full Moon Rhinoceros tribe was considered to have officially joined the Gu Yuan Tribe. Furthermore, they were no different from the other members of the Gu Yuan Tribe. They could be called the Guardian Battle Beasts. In the future, they would share weal and woe with the Gu Yuan Tribe. Of course, this was also because Xiao Chen saw that the Full Moon Rhinoceros tribe had great potential, which was why he was willing to pay such a price.
Furthermore, there were no restrictions on taking in Guardian Battle Beasts. Xiao Chen was eager to take in more foreign tribes like the Dragon-Blooded Full Moon Rhinoceros and make them the Guardian Battle Beasts of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
After keeping the Full Moon Rhinoceros tribe in the secret realm, Xiao Chen did not continue deeper into the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range. Instead, he returned to the tribe. It was not far from the Gu Yuan Tribe when the chiefs of the four major tribes arrived.
The mountain city of the Gu Yuan Tribe seemed to be very busy these days. Apart from the most basic hunting and gathering, the most eye-catching thing was the disbanding of the five 10,000-man Combat Masters and the preparation of the formation of the Battle Formation Masters.
Apart from that, there were also ordinary warriors of the tribe who were eager to join the formation of the Battle Formation Masters. Xiao Chen ordered the First Elder, the Third Elder, and the Combat Troop Commander Ding Shan to count the number of warriors. Before half of the time was up, it was almost done. All that was left was for Xiao Chen to prepare the medicinal ingredients and refine the martial arts elixir pills for the warriors to advance.
In the Bluestone Garden.
Xiao Chen had already moved the Thunder Calamity Spiritual Wood into the Mountain River Herb Garden. He was prepared to move it out when the Ancient Bronze City and the mountain city of the Gu Yuan Tribe merged into one.
"Husband!"
Xiao Chen had gone out for a few days. Fortunately, the two ladies had their own clan affairs to deal with. Thus, Xiao Chen's short trip did not anger his two lovely wives.
"If the affairs in the Hundred Herb Hall are too busy, let others handle them."
Xiao Chen said softly as he looked at his two wives who had hurried back.
"How can we do that? In the past, it was because of our negligence that some scum appeared in the Hundred Herb Hall. They filled their own pockets and bullied the people."
"That's right. Husband has just given us the God Cultivation Secret Technique. All the pharmacists in the tribe have started to cultivate it. In the past few days, among the 1,200 pharmacist apprentices, more than 10 have advanced to the beginner-level pharmacist realm."
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Mu Qing's face. Although the Hundred Herb Hall used to be one of the seven great halls of the Gu Yuan Tribe, there were only a few people in the hall who could refine medicine. It was more like a herb workshop. Now that they had the secret technique that Xiao Chen had given them, the Hundred Herb Hall would soon live up to its name.
"Husband, I'm going to recruit some people in the tribe again and train them as pharmacist apprentices. Let's see if we can train more pharmacists for the Gu Yuan Tribe."
"Good!"
Xiao Chen completely agreed with Mu Qing's plan. In the past, the Gu Yuan Tribe did not have a way to test one's talent in the dao of alchemy, so they could only recruit a large number of people. However, Xiao Chen had obtained a testing technique from Liu Li that could test a cultivator's affinity with the dao of alchemy. He had already passed this discovery to Mu Qing. This way, the Hundred Herb Hall would no longer need to cast their net as wide as before when recruiting apprentices again.
"Right, madams, there are still too few people in Hundred Herb Hall who cultivate ling rice and herbs. I'm looking for you to recruit more women or elders from the tribe in these days to become ling plant farmers to take care of the ling herbs and ling rice."
"Does husband still want to open up more spirit fields?"
Xiao Chen did not answer the two women's questions. Instead, he brought them into the cave and instantly appeared in the ancient bronze city.
"Husband, this is …?"
"This is the new mountain city of our Gu Yuan Tribe!"
The Hundred Herb Hall!
Mu Qing and the two women entered the main hall and entered the spirit rice and herb secret realms through the secret realms.
"This is the place for the spirit rice and herbs that husband prepared for the tribe."
Everything in front of them could be said to be beyond the two women's imagination. To use a secret realm as a spirit field — only those powerful marquis tribes or even royal tribes would have such a grand plan!
Each secret realm had a radius of several hundred miles. Even if the hills and hills that were not suitable for cultivation were excluded, the number of spirit fields that could be opened up was in the tens of thousands. Naturally, the manpower needed was much more.
Two days later, Shi Ya and the others, who had gone to the Iron Hoof Division to help suppress the Blood Clan's Void Road, returned. They brought back the news that the Blood Clan had been severely injured. Xiao Chen was completely relieved. From this moment on, the Gu Yuan Tribe's expedition against the foreign tribes of the Great Wilderness and the four surrounding military divisions had truly come to an end.
Qin Peiyong, the chief of the Iron Hoof Division, came along with Shi Ya. Xiao Chen had summoned him, but he did not dare to refuse. Now, the Gu Yuan Tribe was an existence that the Iron Hoof Division looked up to. Just the few elders that the Gu Yuan Tribe had sent to support the Iron Hoof Division were stronger than him, the chief of the tribe, and there was more than one of them.
After another two days, the chiefs of the Blue Mountain, Crimson Bear, and Yue Ge Combat Divisions had all arrived at the Guyuan Tribe. They had wiped out the foreign tribe survivors around the tribe and ensured the safety of the tribe. This made the three chiefs look much more at ease.
"Greetings, Venerable One!"
The four of them stood up and greeted Xiao Chen.
"Four chiefs, you don't have to be so courteous. Now that the foreign tribes within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles have been wiped out, the edict issued by the Ancestral Court has been successfully completed. I have already submitted the edict to the Ancestral Court's Great Elder, and the rewards for this mission have also been given." Xiao Chen gestured for the four of them to stand up.
"This time, it was all thanks to Venerable One and the assistance of the Gu Yuan Tribe's warriors. We don't deserve this!"
The four of them bowed again.
"Four chiefs, I have already submitted the edict to the Ancestral Court, so our relationship no longer exists. Moreover, the Gu Yuan Tribe is also a middle-grade tribe, which is the same as all of you. You don't have to be so courteous."
"We don't dare!"
Although Xiao Chen said so and the Gu Yuan Tribe's rank was the same as theirs, they did not dare to put themselves on the same level as Xiao Chen. Not to mention the Venerable almighty, Xiao Chen, the Gu Yuan Tribe's strength was enough to crush the four major tribes apart from Xiao Chen.
In the Wasteland, strength was respected. How could they not see the situation in front of them? Since Xiao Chen was courteous to them, they did not dare to climb up the ladder.
"Everyone, these are the rewards given by the Ancestral Court for the mission of annihilating the foreign tribes. There are a total of two million middle-grade Primordial Stones, four Earth Lower Grade Martial Dao books, twelve Lower Grade Spirit Grade swords, and a hundred Fourth Revolution Spiritual Herbs."
"My Gu Yuan Tribe has already made a copy of the four martial dao books. As for the rest of the rewards, my Gu Yuan Tribe will not take a share. Chiefs, please divide them among yourselves. This time, the tribes and their vassal tribes have all suffered great losses. These resources can make up for your losses and restore your strength as soon as possible."
"We can't do that!"
Xiao Chen's decision immediately surprised the four chiefs. They did not expect Xiao Chen to be so generous. He distributed all the resources given by the Ancestral Court to their major tribes. It would be a lie if they were not envious of these resources, especially when the Red Bear War Division was besieged by the foreign tribes and the Iron Hoof War Division suppressed the foreign tribes' Void Road. Both of them had suffered great losses. If the Spiritual Herbs given by the Ancestral Court were used properly, they would be able to cultivate new Heavenly Building Realm warriors for their tribes. They could even use the Spiritual Herbs to advance further.
