In the Gu Yuan Tribe, there were quite a few Blood Refinement realm cultivators below the age of twenty. These cultivators were talented, but they had yet to mature. By the time the War God Palace opened in three months, it would be impossible to accept such a large number of cultivators.
In order to enter the War God Palace, one had to pass the three tests set up by Xiao Chen. These three tests could keep more than ninety percent of the cultivators out. Only the most talented and powerful cultivators could enter.
The remaining cultivators who were unable to enter the War God Palace also needed a place to go. The few halls of the Gu Yuan Tribe each had their own secret realms, which also had places to nurture cultivators, so they could absorb the remaining cultivators.
It did not take long before the Elders received their orders and left. As a Hall Master, although he had suddenly obtained a pocket dimension, it was still a barren land. He would have to spend some time perfecting it. Although he would not be able to fully develop it all at once, he would have to build some necessary facilities.
However, at this moment, there were several figures who had remained in the hall. Ding Shan was leading the group, and Xiao Wangliang and Mu Wuya followed closely behind him. The three of them had once been Great Commanders of the Combat Master Division. Even though Xiao Wangliang and Mu Wuya had already stepped down from their positions as Great Commanders after advancing to Heavenly Tower realm, they had still been paying close attention to the development of the Combat Master Division.
However, with Xiao Chen's order to disband the combat masters and establish the Battle Formation Masters, as the guardian troops of the Gu Yuan Tribe, they suddenly seemed to have fallen out of favor. As a force that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the seven great halls of the tribe, although they didn't have a name, no one could deny that they were far stronger than the other halls.
But now, every single one of the Seven Great Halls had a secret dimension to serve as a cultivation ground. As a result, the disbanded Combat Masters were left with nothing to do. Thus, after the elders left the hall, Xiao Huangliang and Zhang Xuan noticed Ding Shan's gaze and decided to stay behind together with him.
"Commanders, have you dealt with the matters regarding the combat masters?"
Seeing the expressions of the three, how could Xiao Chen not guess their intentions? However, this was also his intention. As the guardian of the tribe, it was unforgivable for the combat masters to slack off. The absence of a hall that belonged to the combat masters was Xiao Chen's warning to them.
"It has been dealt with. Most of the combat masters are young cultivators in their twenties. According to the chief's orders, most of them will participate in the War God Temple's assessment in three months."
Ding Shan respectfully replied to Xiao Chen. As Xiao Chen's strength increased and he had been in charge of the tribe for a long time, the pressure that Xiao Chen brought with him became stronger. It was fine in the past, but once Xiao Chen got angry, no one dared to bear his anger.
Although Xiao Chen was not satisfied with the performance of the combat masters recently, it had to be said that the original five combat masters of the tribe were definitely the strongest forces in the Gu Yuan Tribe. More than half of the young cultivators of the Gu Yuan Tribe were gathered here, and all of them were highly talented and adept cultivators in combat.
In the tribe, the combat masters were the dream of countless youths. They bathed in blood and fought to protect the tribe, and this was the dream of every youth in the tribe. However, those who were able to join the combat masters would definitely be the cream of the crop. This was because the position of the combat masters depended on one's strength, and there was no sympathy to be had. Those who were stronger would be able to stand firmly in the tribe. Therefore, the combat masters were where the majority of the elites of the Gu Yuan Tribe were gathered.
Compared to the elites of the combat masters, the other young cultivators of the Gu Yuan Tribe were invisibly inferior. This was not due to the disparity in talent, but the enlightenment they had gained after joining the combat masters and experiencing bloody battles, and it was even a way to survive.
Therefore, in Xiao Chen's mind, when the War God Temple opened, the young cultivators of the tribe would be the real highlight. As for the 100 slots given to the four combat divisions and the young cultivators from the vassal combat divisions, they were just a foil. How many of the 100 people would be able to enter the War God Temple would depend on their luck and strength.
In short, according to Xiao Chen's plan, the cultivators in the tribe who had exhausted their talents would all use Medicinal Pills to increase their strength. This would stimulate the final potential hidden in their bodies and obtain the strongest strength they could reach. Then, he would select cultivators from among them to form a Battle Formation Master.
The remaining young cultivators could participate in the assessment of the War God Temple.
Finally, those warriors who had been eliminated from the Battle Formation Master examination and had exhausted their talents, as well as those who had not passed the assessment of the Palace of War Gods, were accepted by the major palaces of the tribe. Those warriors who had exhausted their potential could become the mainstay of the major palaces. Although those young warriors had been eliminated by the Palace of War Gods, it did not mean that they were worthless. They could also be accepted by their respective palaces.
Exchanging a group of cultivators who had exhausted their talent and potential for a period of time for the tribe's younger generation to mature, as long as they could hold on for a few years, this kind of nurturing would become a completely new model in the Gu Yuan Tribe, and it would continuously nurture the tribe's top and core cultivators.
"Patriarch!"
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not say anything after asking casually, Ding Shan and the others immediately felt an invisible pressure pressing down on them. Finally, Ding Shan spoke up again.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was looking at him, Ding Shan gritted his teeth and steeled his heart. He opened his mouth again and said to Xiao Chen, "Patriarch, the previous corruption of the combat masters was due to my negligence. All the blame is on me. If the patriarch wants to punish me, I, Ding Shan, am willing to accept the punishment. I hope that the patriarch will not implicate the entire combat masters."
"We are willing to accept the punishment."
Then, Xiao Wangliang and Mu Wuya also bowed and apologized.
The hall was instantly filled with shock. Beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the three people. Xiao Chen still did not speak. Every second felt extremely long to Ding Shan and the others. They could even hear their heartbeats.
"Rise!"
Finally, Xiao Chen's voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens. The three of them could not help but let out a sigh of relief. Xiao Chen's pressure was too terrifying. They could not withstand it at all.
"There are still two halls that have not been named. I will give you a chance. The tribe will disband the combat masters and form a Battle Formation Master. The three of you will be in charge of it. If the Battle Formation Master is not to my satisfaction, the tribe's combat masters can forget about the secret space. All of them can go to the tribe's mines to mine."
"Yes!"
Walking out of the hall, the three of them could not help but let out a long sigh. It seemed that Xiao Chen intended to give the tribe's combat masters a warning. However, if the combat masters could not protect the tribe, was there still a need for the tribe's guardian combat masters to exist?
Two months later.
In the blink of an eye, the tribesmen of the Gu Yuan Tribe quickly adapted to the changes in the tribe. The hall on the central ancient mountain had become a taller and more magnificent bronze tower. There were more than ten towering halls around the tribe's mountain city. Even the tribe's city wall had been raised by twenty feet. The defense had become even more astonishing.
In the past two months, besides the daily consumption of blood and food, the tribesmen, regardless of their age or gender, were all busy. Some of the old and women who had retired from the combat masters were summoned to enter the Spiritual Medicine Space to open up spiritual fields. Some even became spiritual plant farmers. It could be said that in the entire tribe, besides the naughty children, there was no tribesmen who were idle.
The few palaces even went on a large scale in their secret realms. They recruited a large number of cultivators to build palaces and residences in their respective secret realms. Xiao Chen did not interfere with the actions of the palaces at all.
Moreover, because the secret space was opened up by absorbing chaotic fragments, there was still a small amount of chaotic qi left in the rich heaven and earth yuan qi. It had unexpected benefits for the warriors' cultivation, which also attracted many warriors to enter it to cultivate.
The news of the establishment of the War God Palace had spread to the ears of every tribesman. Now, the young warriors in the tribe could be said to be eager to participate in the assessment of the War God Palace. They wanted to make a name for themselves in the tribe. More importantly, they wanted to attract the attention of their tribe leader. There were even some who were guessing what kind of assessment the tribe leader had set up would be.
In the Spiritual Medicine Secret Space.
Around the 10,000-year-old volcano, there were densely packed alchemy rooms of varying heights. From the outermost area of the volcano to the depths of the volcano, there were no less than five hundred alchemy rooms. It could be said that there were five hundred alchemy rooms for refining pills at the same time.
According to the location of these alchemy rooms, there was a difference in the temperature of the Earth Fire that was drawn out. The outermost area was naturally the lowest, and there were more alchemy rooms. There were more than four hundred alchemy rooms, which could be used by beginner alchemists.
In the middle, there were dozens of alchemy rooms. The new Earth Fire that was drawn out was the Earth Fire from the depths of the volcano that was thousands of years old. Even advanced alchemists could refine pills here. Over the years, there were only two advanced alchemists in the Gu Yuan Tribe.
As for the 10,000-year-old volcano in the deepest area, the Earth Fire drawn out was enough to satisfy the needs of great alchemists and Grandmasters. Even if Xiao Chen wanted to refine pills, this 10,000-year-old Earth Fire was also enough to satisfy his needs.
At the moment, in the outermost area of the volcano, there were more than twenty alchemy rooms. The smell of melting spirit herbs filled the air. Obviously, there were alchemists refining pills in the rooms.
In the deepest part of the volcano, there was a white jade alchemy room. It was illuminated by the endless flames and molten lava, giving off a crimson glow. This alchemy room was a hundred feet in size, and the rich medicinal fragrance inside had even gathered into a long dancing dragon.
Inside the alchemy room, a huge alchemy furnace was placed on a platform made of scarlet flame crystals. Under the alchemy furnace, there was an extremely transparent flame drawn out by a special tool that wrapped the entire alchemy furnace in flames.
At the moment, there was a rich smell of medicine in the alchemy furnace. It was the critical moment of pill formation.
"Condense!"
The next moment, the alchemy furnace separated, and dozens of jade-green pills shot out of the alchemy furnace. Xiao Chen made a hand seal and put the dozens of pills into a bottle that he had already prepared.
This was the advancement elixir refined for the martialists in the tribe who had exhausted their potential. However, there were too many martialists, so each person would need one elixir, which would require hundreds of thousands of elixirs. Even though the Ancient Yuan Tribe's pharmacists had the Soul Cultivation Method, only 33 out of 1,000 apprentices had advanced to the Primary Pharmacist Realm.
Although these alchemists could refine advancement elixirs, as they had just advanced, their success rate was pitiful. In the beginning, a few alchemists had even exploded their alchemy furnaces. Although the Earth Fire was drawn out using a special technique, it still had violent characteristics. Alchemists who had just advanced had to pay a huge price to control it.
It was difficult to rely on the alchemists in the tribe to refine tens of thousands of elixirs. Therefore, Chief Xiao Chen had to personally start refining elixirs!
