Xiao Chen received the beast skin scroll that the Third Elder handed over and flipped through it continuously. From the small rewards of Essence Stones and Medicinal Pills for ordinary soldiers to the large rewards of Venerates, everything was clearly stated. Every cultivator's military merits were clearly listed.
It didn't mean that the warriors of the tribe would receive less rewards than the warriors who had died. Instead, the rewards would be given according to the actual situation.
The elders of the fallen warriors would be supported by the tribe, the children would be taken care of by the tribe until they reached adulthood, and the tribe would compensate the families of the fallen warriors with cultivation resources and conditions.
"Third Elder, open the tribe's treasury according to the instructions on this scroll and take out the resources to reward the warriors!"
After a long time, Xiao Chen's voice sounded again, this time to the Third Elder.
"Also, the pharmacists of the Hundred Herb Hall might not be able to supply such a large number of rewards in a short time, so give out a portion of the elixirs and make up for the rest later."
"Any martial artist who has advanced to the Blood Refinement Realm can head to the Martial Dao Hall and choose an Earth-tier Middle-grade Martial Dao Manual, while the Heavenly Building Realm commanders can choose an Earth-tier Upper Grade Martial Dao Manual."
"Yes!"
The elders naturally agreed with Xiao Chen's order.
"There is one more important thing. Our Gu Yuan Tribe has lost many warriors, and there has been a gap between the warriors of the tribe. I have already ordered Tie Wen's Martial Arts Hall to increase the training of the tribe's children."
"Now that our Gu Yuan Tribe has received the blessing of luck, as long as we can survive this period of time, the tribe's strength will recover to its peak, and the tribe will soar again!"
"Chief, the training of the tribe's children in the Martial Arts Hall has been delayed due to the Blood Sacrifice War, so the tribe will naturally give its full support for the next period of time!"
"Moreover, with the pharmacists of the Hundred Herb Hall, we have already prepared the medicinal pool for the tribe's children to build their martial foundation."
"Good!"
Xiao Chen nodded. Originally, he had obtained a Blood Pool Treasure from the Ancestral Court, which could be used to precipitate the medicinal energy and for the tribe's children to build their martial foundation. Later, because the tribe urgently needed to raise its strength, it was placed in the Combat Master Hall and became a treasure for the warriors to temper their bodies.
However, now that the Gu Yuan Tribe had destroyed the Blood Fainting Family and even moved the Blood Fainting Family's Void Floating Island back, they naturally obtained the Blood Pool of the Blood Fainting Family.
Moreover, it was a Blood Pool of a higher grade than the previous one. As long as the cold Blood Qi was removed, medicinal herbs, blood, and bones could be put in, turning it into a Medicine Pool for the young children of the Guyuan Tribe to build their martial arts foundation.
All of a sudden, Xiao Chen turned to Ding Shan and asked, "Division Head Ding, how is the Combat Master Hall?"
Naturally, the Combat Master Hall was the one who had to pay the heaviest price in this expedition. Even though half of the two million combat masters that the Gu Yuan Tribe had gathered this time around were cultivators who had been recruited from the tribe at the last minute, the Combat Master Hall was still the main force of the expedition.
"Clan head, the Combat Master Hall currently has 600,000 Combat Masters, and they are divided into 200,000 Combat Formation Masters, 50,000 reserve Combat Formation Masters, and the rest are ordinary Combat Masters."
"However, due to the heavy losses we suffered in this war, some of the Combat Masters had no choice but to retire from the Combat Master Hall. As a result, other than the Combat Formation Masters, the strength of the other Combat Masters is rather uneven.
"However, this war has tempered the Combat Masters of the tribe, and there are many Combat Masters who are on the verge of making breakthroughs. In just a few months, the Combat Masters of our Gu Yuan Tribe will be fully reorganized!"
After the war, the temporarily recruited tribesmen returned to the tribe. Xiao Chen had no intention of wasting his troops, so he only kept the Combat Masters of the Combat Master Hall for the daily defense of the tribe. Keeping the Combat Masters among the people was the best way for the tribe to flourish.
Currently, the Gu Yuan Tribe still had around five million tribesmen, but losing a million elites all at once was still a huge blow to the tribe.
Fortunately, when the tribe had forcibly recruited tribesmen, they had only recruited tribes that had more young and strong men. As a result, the ratio of women to men in the tribe was extremely huge, at a ratio of one to two.
From the looks of it now, this decision was quite correct. Even though the tribe had suffered heavy losses, the ratio of men to women in the tribe was not too unbalanced. Moreover, the foundation of the Gu Yuan Tribe had already been established.
The tribesmen had also received the blessing of the tribe, and their innate aptitude had been enhanced. In this way, as long as the Gu Yuan Tribe settled down for a period of time, they would definitely convert their heritage into strength and unleash their full potential.
Similarly, when the Gu Yuan Tribe recruited tribesmen again in the future, they would have to be as careful as those tribes with a long history. The current Gu Yuan Tribe was no longer the amalgamation of many tribes that had gathered together in a hurry.
After this series of events, the tribe had begun to integrate with each other, and a set of systematic martial arts training methods had also been formed in the tribe.
From the birth of a child in the tribe to the Martial Foundation Establishment Stage, to becoming a martial artist, and then to the Bone Tempering Stage, the Blood Refinement Stage, the martial arts training manuals, the supply of various pills and weapons had all formed a complete chain.
Of course, after advancing to the Heavenly Building Realm, whether they could advance to the Venerable Realm again would depend on their own luck.
Soon, the few of them left the hall, but Xiao Chen did not stay. With a flash, he went to the top floor of the bronze pagoda.
"Green Spirit, how is it?"
In the center of the hall, there was a lotus platform that was 30 meters wide. It was covered in colorful mist and exuded an ancient vicissitude. In the mist above the lotus platform, there was a little girl dressed in a colorful lotus robe. She was glowing with a treasure light.
"Master, the Ancient Bronze City has begun to devour the floating island."
Green Spirit was obviously very happy. After devouring the floating island, the grade of the Ancient Bronze City would increase, and she would also be able to advance.
Green Spirit blinked her eyes and flew away from the lotus platform. She kept flying around Xiao Chen, her excitement evident in her words.
"The grade of this floating island is not much lower than the Ancient Bronze City. The ancient city has not recovered to its original grade, which is why the integration of this floating island has become so slow."
Immediately, the originally excited Green Spirit suddenly became disappointed, and the colorful lotus robe on her body also lost its color.
"Alright, when the various divine materials, Chaotic Stones, and Void Crystals on the floating island are integrated into the ancient city, the ancient city will be able to recover most of its strength. At that time, your spiritual wisdom will also increase!" Then, Xiao Chen patted Green Spirit and chuckled.
"Mmm."
As an artifact spirit, Green Spirit's thoughts were very simple. When she heard Xiao Chen's words, her body immediately shone with colorful light again.
The floating island of the Blood Tribe could be said to be another huge benefit that the Ancient Yuan Tribe had obtained after this bloody battle. As long as Green Spirit could completely devour it and integrate it into the ancient city, the combat strength of the Ancient Bronze City would definitely increase again.
Originally, the ancient city had been damaged and could not reach its full combat strength, but it would definitely recover a large portion. Just the Yuan Stone Cannons on the city walls would be completely restored and even upgraded, which would allow the ancient city's offensive strength to double.
Furthermore, there was a Celestial Domain Lockdown Stellar Formation in the ancient city. There were 108 halls that corresponded to 108 stars. Currently, there were only a dozen or so halls in the ancient city that corresponded to the stars. It was simply impossible to complete the Celestial Domain Lockdown Stellar Formation.
"Green Spirit, how long do you estimate it will take to integrate the entire floating island?"
Xiao Chen asked again. He was very much looking forward to what the Ancient Bronze City would look like after the integration.
"Clansmen, it will take at least a year. However, when the floating island is devoured, some buildings in the ancient city will appear one after another, and the area of the ancient city will also increase again!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded, then his figure disappeared from the top of the tower and flew towards the God of War Palace.
"Clan Leader."
The God of War Palace was also somewhat silent. In this battle, one-third of the God of War Palace's cultivators had also fallen, which amounted to more than 1,000 people. These people who had fallen were all geniuses that were one in a million.
As the Palace Master of the God of War Palace, Falling Cloud Mountain and his disciple, Feng Yu, came out to greet them.
"Elders, are your injuries healed?" Xiao Chen waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be so polite, and then asked.
"With the Heavenly Yuan Pill refined by Clan Leader, I have almost recovered," Falling Cloud Mountain replied softly.
"How are the cultivators in the palace?"
The person who was led by Falling Cloud Mountain and his disciple walked towards a large hall and asked as they walked.
"Reporting to Clan Leader, the cultivators in the palace are either recuperating or cultivating hard in the secret realm. Although the God of War Palace has suffered heavy losses in this battle and many genius cultivators have fallen, the purpose of tempering these young guys has been achieved."
"At least the original impetuous and arrogant emotions have been restrained a lot, and they know the cruelty of a bloody battle."
It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel heartache after losing so many talented martial artists all at once. As the Palace Lord of the War God Palace, he had personally watched these martial artists grow up. Then, he had single-handedly sent them into the blood-soaked battlefield.
"Elder Luo, this time, this Clan Leader has come to discuss with you about restarting the recruitment of genius cultivators."
"Rerecruiting genius cultivators?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Chen nodded and then said, "Now there are already a hundred Heavenly Building Realm geniuses in the God of War Palace. As for how far they can go in the future, it depends on them."
"Clan Leader, how should we settle these Heavenly Building Realm cultivators?"
Luo Yunshan asked hurriedly. These Heavenly Building Realm cultivators were his treasures. To be able to advance to the Heavenly Building Realm at such a young age, they must not be weak. There was even a good chance that they could advance to the Venerable Realm.
"Of course, for these genius cultivators who have advanced to the Heavenly Building Realm, I will naturally not coerce them. According to their wishes, they can enter the various halls of the tribe and travel alone."
Xiao Chen was not afraid of these genius cultivators in the God of War Palace because these cultivators had long belonged to the Gu Yuan Tribe, and even their families had long been integrated into the Gu Yuan Tribe.
