The reopening of the War God's Palace and recruiting geniuses from the Wasteland was something that many of the Elders present agreed with.
This was because the past few years had already proven that Xiao Chen's War God Palace was incomparably correct.
Back then, although the Great Tribes of the entire Desolate Border recruited genius cultivators, a large portion of the young cultivators returned to their own tribes, and a portion of the cultivators were recruited by other tribes.
However, the real beneficiary was the Gu Yuan Tribe itself. Now, in addition to the more than 100 young Heavenly Building Realm warriors in the temple, there were more than 2,000 Blood Refining Realm geniuses in the War God Palace.
But it couldn't be said that their talents were exhausted, because promotion to the Heavenly Building Realm also required opportunities, not to mention that they were only in their twenties. Even if they were promoted to the Heavenly Building Realm ten or twenty years later, their bone age would only be forty or fifty. In the barren land, people in their forties and fifties were still in the Blood Refining Realm, or even in the Bone Tempering Realm.
Taking a step back, as long as half of these young martial artists could advance to the Heavenly Building Realm, the strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe would be greatly improved.
Therefore, everyone agreed with the opening of the War God Palace. This was also a way to slowly accumulate the strength of their own tribes.
Furthermore, given the Gu Yuan Tribe's current status, if they released the news that they had reopened the God of War Palace, the entire Desolate Border Region, no, even the tribes in the nearby human regions, would definitely flock to them.
The only thing that made them uncomfortable in the words of the War God Palace Lord Falling Cloud Mountain was the establishment of the Dao of Alchemy.
The reason why the Gu Yuan Tribe was able to obtain its current status was because of their alchemy skills. Now, they actually wanted to spread their alchemy skills.
"Patriarch!"
"Lord Patriarch, why do you want to pass down the dao of alchemy?"
Immediately, all the cultivators in the hall spoke to Xiao Chen in unison, their eyes filled with confusion.
After hearing the voices of the elders, Xiao Chen's voice appeared and immediately drowned out everyone else's: "The alchemy inheritance was personally ordered by me!"
"Patriarch!"
All of them were elders of the tribe, so they naturally knew that the Gu Yuan Tribe had made a lot of money from the elixir transactions with other tribes over the years.
However, their clan head was willing to throw away such benefits. Although the art of alchemy was difficult to learn in a short period of time, it might take three to five years, or even eight to ten years.
However, when the warriors who came to learn alchemy brought their alchemy skills back to their tribes, all the tribes would be self-sufficient. They would no longer need the Gu Yuan Tribe's elixirs.
"Alright!"
Shouted Xiao Chen. Suddenly, a powerful aura rose up and swept through the entire hall. The Elders who had been speaking suddenly trembled and stopped in their tracks.
"This chief has already said that my Gu Yuan Tribe's foundation is shallow. Without experiencing the baptism of time, how can we control the Desolate Border? The Desolate Border is already my Gu Yuan Tribe's fief. If we want to control the Desolate Border, my Gu Yuan Tribe must make contributions to the Desolate Border.
"In the future, the entire Desolate Border will be my Gu Yuan Tribe's territory. Increasing the strength of the tribes in the Desolate Border is the same as stabilizing my Gu Yuan Tribe's foundation!"
Xiao Chen's thunderous voice immediately silenced everyone. However, some of the Venerables and Elders in the hall remained silent as they pondered over Xiao Chen's words.
"Alright, the Divine War Palace needs to have martialists to oversee the other four branches, especially the alchemy and array formations."
After a while, Xiao Chen's aura calmed down, causing the Elders in the hall to heave a sigh of relief. The might that Xiao Chen had given them was too great. Even though he didn't release any aura, his every move made them feel a heavy pressure.
"Fortunately, there are two great alchemists in the Pavilion of Herbs. With the help of the providence, they are showing signs of advancing to the alchemy grandmaster level. This is indeed the Gu Yuan Tribe's fortune."
Alchemy grandmaster?
Immediately after, everyone was attracted by Xiao Chen's words. The ranks of alchemists were divided into Primary Alchemist, Advanced Alchemist, Great Alchemist, Alchemy Grandmaster, Alchemy Grandmaster, and finally Medicine King.
Alchemy Grandmasters were no longer refining elixirs according to alchemy techniques. Instead, they were already well-versed in medicinal theory. Even if it was the same elixir, they could adjust the content of the herbs according to the martialist's cultivation and physique to refine the elixir that was most suitable for the martialist.
Moreover, Alchemy Grandmasters could already refine elixirs that were suitable for Venerables. How could this not shock the Elders present?
"Xiao Mo, where is Mu Qianhuo?"
"Subordinate is here." Soon, two martialists stood up and bowed to Xiao Chen.
They were the two great alchemists who were about to advance to the Alchemy Grandmaster level in the Hundred Herb Hall.
The strength of the two was not very strong. One was at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm, and the other was at the Second Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm. These two belonged to the old men who had followed Xiao Chen.
They used to be alchemists in the Gu Yuan Tribe. However, there were real alchemists in the Gu Yuan Tribe at that time. They just simply mixed herbs together, and the medicinal effect was not as good as directly consuming the herbs.
Later, when Xiao Chen established the Hundred Herb Hall, Mu Qing became the Hall Master. Mu Qing invited the two into the Hundred Herb Hall. Although the two were already young at that time, with their love for alchemy, the two later flourished and went further and further on the path of alchemy.
Moreover, Xiao Mo was Xiao Chen's relative.
"From today onwards, Xiao Mo will replace Mu Qing and become the new Hall Master of the Hundred Herb Hall. Mu Qianhuo will lead a portion of the alchemists in the Hundred Herb Hall to join the War God Palace and become the Pavilion Master of the War God Palace's Medicine Pavilion."
Wow.
Xiao Chen's order made the martialists in the hall unable to react. This transfer was a little too big.
"Patriarch …"
Xiao Mo and Mu Qianhuo's eyes were also filled with exclamations, and they were also shocked speechless.
"Patriarch, we can't do this. We are obsessed with alchemy and neglect social interaction. How can we lead a hall?"
"Patriarch, please take back your order!"
The two reacted and bowed, not daring to accept the new position.
"My Gu Yuan Tribe is developing, and there are changes in the major halls. If the two of you are obsessed with alchemy, you can appoint two Deputy Hall Masters and Deputy Pavilion Masters to replace you in charge of daily affairs. You only need to be responsible for leading the entire hall!"
Xiao Chen waved his hand, stopped their refusal, and then said aloud.
"The two of you have been working hard in the Hundred Herb Hall all these years, refining pills for the tribe. The entire tribe has witnessed it. How can you not be the Hall Master and Pavilion Master?"
At this moment, Mu Qing, who had been silent beside Xiao Chen, suddenly spoke. As the former Hall Master of the Hundred Herb Hall, and now a Supreme Venerable, no one in the tribe could match him. Naturally, his words carried dignity and weight.
"There are many pharmacists in the Hundred Herb Hall, and some miscellaneous items will be handled by the other elders. The two of you only need to lead the entire hall, and it will not affect your study of alchemy."
"Yes!"
Finally, the two of them accepted Xiao Chen's appointment.
"Elders, although my Gu Yuan Tribe has suffered heavy losses in this bloody battle, the tribe's strength has been constantly increasing. The strength of all the elders present has also improved."
"Over the years, the strength of the major halls of my Gu Yuan Tribe has grown rapidly, and the Hall Masters have even reached the Venerable Realm. This is a blessing for my Gu Yuan Tribe."
"However, not only has the crisis not disappeared, but it has also become more and more intense. I hope that all the elders will not take it lightly."
"Yes!"
After pausing for a while, Xiao Chen continued, "After this, our desolate border will have at most two more years of peace. So, all elders need to do your best to raise your cultivation and the strength of your tribe."
…
Two hours later, in the Bluestone Garden.
Xiao Chen sat on a stone chair under the Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Wood, and a fragrance wafted in front of him.
This faint fragrance came from the pot of spirit tea in Mu Qing's hand. The sparkling tea dripped from the pot, and a spiritual mist filled the air. The mist was mixed with sparkling water droplets, as if there was a drizzle falling on top of Mu Qing's hand.
The entire mist was sparkling and sparkling with brilliant colors. It was extremely gorgeous and dreamlike.
On the other hand, Pinghua watched Mu Qing's every move seriously from the side. The tea he brewed was called the Spiritual Mist Tea. Once it was brewed, a cloud of mist would form above the teacup. This was the spiritual energy gathered in the tea leaves. It was also beneficial for a cultivator's cultivation, as it could cleanse the bloodline and physical body.
"Little Sister Qing 'er's tea brewing skills are becoming more and more proficient. It's really relaxing without a position. In the future, when I'm tired from cultivating, I can drink a cup of spirit tea like this.
It's not bad, "Pinghua said with some interest as she stretched lazily, revealing her curvaceous body.
"My precious disciples are here."
Soon, Pinghua adjusted his posture and sat on a stone chair, smiling as he looked in the direction of the courtyard's stone gate.
"Greetings, Master! Greetings, Mistress!"
Soon, Xiao Chen's nine disciples walked into the Bluestone Garden hand in hand. They bowed respectfully to Xiao Chen and Mu Qing.
"You're here. No need to be so polite."
Looking at the figures that came in, Xiao Chen waved his hand.
"Yuan 'er, come quickly!"
However, Mu Qing and Pinghua did not care too much. They waved at Ziyuan, signaling her to come forward.
"Mistress."
Ziyuan smiled sweetly and pounced towards Pinghua.
This scene made the eyes of the few senior brothers behind him twitch. Among them, only Ziyuan received such treatment, and she was the only one who was doted on by everyone. Even they liked their little junior sister very much, and she often teased them in the past.
