"Eldest Senior Brother is too polite."
Bu Canghai returned the greeting and said again, "You and I are like brothers. If there is really a relic related to the Formation Dao, I will definitely get it back for Senior Brother!"
After Tian Fang signalled, Bu Canghai sat down again. At this moment, all eyes were on Long Tian and Kun Peng.
Among Xiao Chen's disciples, these two were the only ones who did not get along. It was not a life and death feud, but their competitive spirit was strong and they both wanted to suppress each other.
Moreover, the two also had a group of followers in the Palace of War God. However, apart from Ziyuan, Long Tian and Kun Peng were the same age, but they were a few years younger than their senior brothers and sisters.
Moreover, the two had the bloodline of Divine Beasts. Although it was unknown why their ancestors had such a bloodline, it gave the two endless benefits.
Take Kun Peng for example. He had advanced to the Third Heavenly Layer of the Heavenly Building Realm and easily comprehended the mysteries of space in the Space Dao. Everything was empty, making space invisible. There was also the mysteries of speed derived from the Way of Wind. These were all left behind by the bloodline of the Ninth Heaven Kunpeng.
As for Long Tian, he had advanced to the Third Heavenly Layer of the Heavenly Building Realm and comprehended the Way of Fire. Moreover, it was the mysteries of Yang. In addition, his physical body was far superior to other cultivators. These were the benefits of the bloodline in his body.
"Master."
Xiao Chen naturally saw the battle between the two, but it was no longer as fierce as when they first participated in the assessment.
"Long Tian, Kun Peng, your senior brothers all have places to train. The two of you are naturally no exception. I know that the two of you also have followers."
Xiao Chen looked at the two disciples with a smile. With the inheritance of the bloodline of Divine Beasts, they easily ranked among the most talented among their peers. Naturally, the two of them did not waste their talent.
"Master, where are we going to train?" The two asked Xiao Chen.
"I'm going to send you to the Crystal Wasteland to stop the invasion of the non-humankind's Yuan stone mines."
The Crystal Stone Wasteland was one of the most important mineral veins in the entire Desolate Border. Although the highest grade of Primordial Stones produced were only high grade, and the quantity was very small, most of them were low grade and mid grade Primordial Stones. However, for the entire Desolate Border, it was an important strategic resource.
If it was attacked by the foreign races, for the Desolate Border's Human Clan, it was equivalent to cutting off an arm.
Now, there were already experts from the Ancestral Court stationed there. However, the Ancestral Court sent out a summons, calling all the cultivators of the Desolate Border Region to gather in the Crystal Stone Wasteland to guard the resources of the Desolate Border Region.
"You two are not allowed to call yourselves members of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Hide your identities and join the Ancestral Court's Battle Masters to fight against the remaining alien races," Xiao Chen said to the two disciples.
"Here!"
"I can send both of your followers to the Crystal Wasteland together. Master's request for the two of you is to hone your battle techniques."
"Here!"
In this way, apart from Wei Yunwei's special situation and Ziyuan's young age, the remaining seven disciples were all assigned various tasks by Xiao Chen. They were either sent out to the tribe to gain experience, or given duties.
The next morning, the sun rose.
In the Ancient Bronze City, at the foot of an ancient mountain near the city gate, several figures gathered.
"Your Senior Brother wishes you all a triumphant return!"
Tian Fang held a jar of blood wine in his hand, and so did the others. At this moment, the seal on the wine jar was removed, and a rich fragrance filled the air.
"Let's drink this blood wine."
"Drink!"
The few of them reached out their hands at the same time. The sound of the wine jars colliding could be heard, and the sound of blood wine being swallowed could be heard. It was spicy and sweet, and when the blood wine entered their stomachs, it turned into surging heat. It was as if there was a flame burning in their chests, blazing and warm.
"What about me?"
A lovable voice rang out. Ziyuan pulled Wei Yunwei's hand and shouted with some dissatisfaction. She realized that her senior brothers and sisters seemed to have forgotten about her.
"Haha, there's still our little junior sister." Ziyuan's arrogance caused the few of them to chuckle, dispersing the sadness of parting.
"That's more like it."
Ziyuan snorted in satisfaction. She then snorted again, "These are the pellets I stole from Master. Senior brothers are going to leave the tribe to gain experience, and these are Yuan 'er's parting gifts to you."
"Stolen pellets!"
Looking at the colorful beast skin bags in Ziyuan's hands, the few of them were speechless. This little girl was really daring.
"Senior brothers, why don't you want them? If it wasn't for the fact that Yuan 'er is still young and can't refine pellets for senior brothers, Yuan' er wouldn't have stolen Master's pellets for you."
"Moreover, Yuan 'er has checked them one by one. Most of these pellets are healing pellets. Senior brothers are going to the Great Wilderness to gain experience, and it's inevitable that you'll get injured. These pellets just happen to be useful."
Seeing that her senior brothers didn't accept her pellets, Ziyuan's face immediately turned red, and tears started to well up in her eyes.
"Junior brothers, please take them. These are Little Junior Sister's kind intentions."
Tian Fang, on the other hand, understood what was going on and said, "Could it be that Junior Brothers still don't understand? What kind of person is Master? How could Junior Sister steal pills? Moreover, they are all healing pills."
"Could it be …"
The few of them came to a sudden realization, and a flash of understanding flashed in their eyes. If Master had used Little Junior Sister's hand to pass the pill to them, then it would make sense.
"Thank you, Little Junior Sister."
Seeing that her senior brothers had taken the beast skin bags from her hands, Ziyuan's tears immediately turned into a smile.
"Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, we'll take our leave first. When we return in triumph, we'll drink to our hearts' content again."
Following which, Jian Jinghong, Huang Xiaotian, Bu Canghai, Long Tian, and Kunpeng cupped their fists towards Tian Fang and Wei Yunwei, then turned and left the city. Their followers were already waiting outside the city.
Very quickly, on the wasteland in front of the ancient bronze city, the few of them split up and headed in different directions.
In the great hall at the highest level of the ancient bronze pagoda.
Xiao Chen stood with his hands clasped behind his back, observing the actions of his disciples.
This space was the space where the ancient bronze city's artifact spirit, Qing Ling, resided. At this moment, other than Xiao Chen, Mu Qing was also here.
"Husband, are you worried about these disciples?"
Mu Qing snuggled up to Xiao Chen, watching the scene that just happened in the tribe. Ziyuan took out some pellets and passed them to her senior brothers.
"Without experiencing the trials and tribulations of wind and rain, how can a young eagle soar into the sky?"
It would be a lie to say that the nine personal disciples were not worried. Moreover, the foreign races were wreaking havoc in the desolate border. Moreover, Xiao Chen had thrown them into the desolate border. No one could predict what they would encounter. They could only rely on their own luck.
Three days later, in the ancient bronze city, news that shook the entire desolate border spread to all corners of the desolate border.
The War God Palace of the Gu Yuan Tribe had reopened, recruiting young geniuses from the various military divisions of the human race to be nurtured in the War God Palace.
Now, the Gu Yuan Tribe's prestige was no longer the same as before. After the Blood Sacrifice War with the Blood Fainting Aristocratic Family, the Gu Yuan Tribe's prestige had reached its peak in the desolate border, becoming the undisputed number one military division.
Moreover, the Gu Yuan Tribe had won a great victory over the Blood Race and was conferred the title of Human Emperor. The entire desolate border had become the tribe's land of nobility. Xiao Chen had even been conferred the title of Marquis!
Under such circumstances, one could imagine how attractive the reopening of the War God Palace was to the countless human military divisions in the desolate border!
Moreover, this was not the most important thing. What made many martial artists go crazy was that the reopening of the War God Palace had established five branches.
The Martial Path, the Medicine Path, the Array Path, the Body Refining Path, and the Weapon Refining Path.
This was definitely a major event that would shake the entire desolate border!
The Gu Yuan Tribe had actually taken out the Medicine Refining Technique passed down in the tribe!
Countless tribes and countless martial artists moved upon hearing this news. They wished they could bring all the children in their tribes to the Gu Yuan Tribe and test them to see if they had the talent for Medicine Refining Technique.
Five days later, the two Marquis Divisions of the desolate border, Baize Division and Tiantai Division, six high-rank combat divisions, and dozens of middle-rank combat divisions gathered to visit the Gu Yuan Tribe. They wanted to ask the Gu Yuan Tribe to increase the number of alchemists they recruited.
Ten days later, the news of the Gu Yuan Tribe's reopening of the War God Palace and establishing five branches of cultivation spread throughout the Myriad Mountain Territory, Myriad Spirit Territory, and Snowy Peak Territory.
Since then, the number of martial artists rushing to the Gu Yuan Tribe increased day by day. All of them wanted to pass the test and enter the War God Palace to receive the inheritance.
Myriad Mountain Territory, Iron Mountain Marquis Division.
The Iron Mountain Marquis Division was just an ordinary Marquis Division. There were two Venerables in the Iron Mountain Marquis Division. On this day, a fierce bird screeched in the sky above the Iron Mountain Marquis Division. It was a Four Star Iron Back Eagle. It was six hundred feet long and had a very wide back.
The giant eagle landed in the mountain city of the tribe. Soon, nearly a hundred young martial artists climbed onto its back.
"Let's go!"
With a shrill cry, the Iron Back Eagle soared into the sky, stirring up gusts of air currents as it flew in the direction of the Desolate Border Territory.
And this was only a small part of the Myriad Mountain Territory. At this moment, many tribes in the Myriad Mountain Territory had sent out their experts to escort their children to the Desolate Border Territory.
It was the same in the Myriad Spirit Territory and Snowy Peak Territory. Some of the high-rank tribes did not have enough resources to support their tribes to travel across territories. They all banded together and even spent a lot of money to hire higher-level tribes or martial artists to escort their children.
Just as the news released by the Gu Yuan Tribe caused a storm in several large human territories, Xiao Chen quietly left the tribe and entered the Ancestral Court. He used the Heaven Level Void Teleportation Formation in the Ancestral Court to head to Marquis Palace in the Eastern Royal Region!
