Hua Kai looked at the information of the 100 family members who had more than 88 loyalty points. His grandfather's vitality had not recovered to 40 points, so even if his energy and mental state increased, it would not affect his strength too much.
Wal-mart was currently at the 3rd level of the Qi Transformation Realm. If he could enter one of the three secret realms, he should be able to reach the late stage of the Qi Transformation Realm.
Moreover, his talent was B-, so there was a possibility of him breaking through to the Qi Transformation Realm.
When the Fifth Uncle was not home, the Fourth Uncle was the third most powerful person in the family. He had 37 points of energy, 39 points of vitality, and 43 points of mental state. His mental cultivation method and spear arts were all at large success. He only needed 3 family luck points to reach the Qi Transformation Realm. Moreover, the Fourth Uncle's loyalty was already at 99 points. If he had 100 loyalty points, the system would reward him with 1 luck point.
Then there was Erzhuang, Hua Yue, and Hunchback Wei. They were originally the main fighting force of the family. Now that the family had more Natal Opening Realm cultivators, their fighting strength was no longer that outstanding. It was time to help them increase their strength. Since the Desolate Beast horde had just retreated, Fort Wah Ka should be safe for a short period of time.
Hua Kai looked at the [Intent Realm Training Secret Realm] in the family space. Because his willpower was the highest among the three main attributes, he did not try to enter it. Moreover, the price to enter this secret realm was too high. He had 5 luck points and his family members had 10 luck points. Hua Kai had put in a lot of effort, and the family's luck points had been increasing bit by bit.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Hua Kai would not let his family members enter the [Intent Realm Training Secret Realm]. Fortunately, people with strength usually had the highest three main attributes. Entering the secret realm would only allow them to unleash their talents in advance.
Early the next morning, Hua Kai asked the butler to call the Fourth Uncle to the living room of the main courtyard and told him about the two secret realms. When Hua Zihuan heard that Wal-mart had asked him to keep quiet, he guessed that his nephew was going to use his special power again.
"Okay, I'm ready. Kai 'er, tell me what to do!" Hua Zihuan said.
"Today, you'll enter the Secret Realm of Physical Training first. I'll tell you what to do after you enter. Remember to persevere. Don't give up until the last second."
Hua Kai looked at his Fourth Uncle standing in front of him in a thin shirt. He entered the [Family Mystic Realm] and chose to train with his Fourth Uncle. Soon, Hua Zihuan entered the [Physique Training Mystic Realm].
Fourth Uncle persisted for 62 minutes, but the system only rewarded him with 4 points of Physique. Hua Kai realized that other than himself, if he wanted to receive an attribute reward, one had to persist for a long time, and the other reward seemed to be related to one's aptitude.
After exiting the Secret Realm, Hua Kai received a notification that his Fourth Uncle's Loyalty had reached 100 points. One Luck Point was returned to him.
Fourth Uncle meditated for more than 10 minutes before slowly opening his eyes. He told Hua Kai about his miraculous changes. Hua Kai told him that when he came back tomorrow, he would directly advance to the Qi Transformation Stage. Hua Zihuan's eyes widened in disbelief.
After that, Hua Kai called Hua Yue, Erzhuang, and Commander Wei to his courtyard. Among the three of them, only Erzhuang's Loyalty had reached 100 points. The other two had just reached 96 points.
The next day, when the four of them recovered their spiritual power, Hua Kai sent them into the [Energy Training Mystic Realm]. This way, their attributes underwent a huge change.

After the four of them entered the [Physique Training Mystic Realm] and the [Energy Training Mystic Realm], the Fourth Uncle directly advanced to the Qi Transformation Stage. Captain Hua Yue also reached the peak of the Initial Element Stage. Erzhuang's Initial Element Stage Level 8 was considered very good for him at 22 years of age. The main reason was that he had a grade B aptitude, so he had gained the most attributes.
The most regrettable one was Wei Hong. His Concept Value had only increased by a small level, but the increase in his Physique and Energy had also increased his strength by a lot.
The increase in the strength of the main members of Fort Wah Ka was carried out quietly. Everything in the village was the same as usual. The salt-making workshop operated 24 hours a day, and there were cleaners everywhere in the village. If they saw someone not being hygienic, they would directly report it to the main house. This caused Fort Wah Ka to become cleaner and cleaner.
In the next few days, the system's family's luck value increased by 2 to 5 points every day. Hua Kai discovered a rule. The more the luck value was used, the faster it would increase. He began to have his own ideas about the luck value.
If at a certain point in time, the overall strength of Fort Wah Ka was fixed, then the system would measure whether the current family's luck value was consistent with this expected luck value. If the actual luck value was too low, there would be a family crisis. The system would wait until the luck value returned to normal. If the luck value was too high, there might be a change in luck, and then the luck value would return to normal.
It was too difficult to verify this conjecture, so there was no way to test it. If he used too much luck value and brought disaster to his family, then it would be over. It had to be known that any random demonic beast could instantly wipe out the entire Fort Wah Ka. He had heard countless stories of demonic beasts destroying cities since he was young.
After the village protection team of Fort Wah Ka killed the group of wild beasts outside the village, it snowed heavily for four days. The weather was getting colder, and it was rare to see pedestrians on the village streets. However, the martial arts field was still bustling.
Hua Kai came to the martial arts field and heard Hua Yue report about the gathering of wild beasts outside the village.
"Master, wild beasts have been gathering outside the village since yesterday. Now there are about 200 of them. There are no traces of savage beasts," Hua Yue said when he saw Hua Kai.
"Pay attention to the wild beasts' movements at all times!
You must wear cotton-padded clothes when you patrol at night. Be careful not to let the wild beasts sneak into the village. If you find something wrong, immediately sound the drum. "
After Hua Kai heard this, there was nothing he could do. There were too many wild beasts in the winter, and it was impossible to kill them all. Moreover, the snow outside the village was more than a foot thick. It was not suitable for fighting in the wild.
They could only wait for the wild beasts to continue gathering. When the time came, it would be even more difficult for the wild beasts to climb up the village walls in this harsh winter.
Seeing his grandfather take the lead to demonstrate to everyone, Hua Kai saw that Fourth Uncle's spear skills had improved rapidly after he reached the Qi Transformation Realm. In just a few days, his mental state had increased by one point.
He walked past all the villagers who were practicing martial arts. When these villagers saw the Hua family looking at them, they trained even harder.
Most of these villagers' loyalty had reached 60 points and above. This included many of the villagers from the subsidiary villages. They could be completely trusted.
Hua Kai looked at the name list on the crystal pillar in the [Family's Secret Realm] and checked everyone's attributes in the training field. As long as the mental state attribute was especially high, Hua Kai would let them come out. These people were the ones who trained harder. Under everyone's gaze, Hua Kai brought them to the main courtyard. After scattering the family's luck points, a few of them began to break through. Fort Wah Ka had a few more Natal Opening Realm experts.
In the following ten days, Hua Kai sent more than 30 family members into the [Family's Secret Realm] to train. Many of the villagers who had just broken through to the Natal Opening Realm suddenly entered the middle stage of the Natal Opening Realm.
There were more than 50 Natal Opening Realm experts in Fort Wah Ka (including the subsidiary villages).
On this day, Hua Kai was in the [Family's Secret Realm] researching how to use the secret realm to increase the family's strength.
Disregarding the three secret realms, everyone who could enter the [Heaven Seeking Stone] had entered it. [Martial Arts Hall] needed 500 family's luck points to upgrade the [Space Splitting Spear], but this was different. [Scripture Enlightenment House] needed 200 luck points to upgrade the [Meditation Heart Sutra] to [High Yellow Rank].
Every piece of White grade equipment in the [Weapon Shop] cost at least 100 Luck Points. Hua Kai looked through the list and found that there were a few pieces of White grade equipment that he could gather. However, using 100 Luck Points to refine a weapon or armor was a bit extravagant.
Finally, there was the [Alchemy Room]. Hua Kai had once used it to refine a grade one ordinary pill, the [Qi Refining Pill], for his grandfather.
There were many ordinary pills that could be refined in the [Alchemy Room]. However, most of the ingredients could only be found in aristocratic families. Opening the alchemy furnace once would cause the entire Fort Wah Ka to go bankrupt.
In the end, Hua Kai reluctantly remembered a few pill recipes that could be used.
Elixir Of Spring: Grade Two Ordinary Pill
Materials required: Main ingredient, Three Leaf Spiritual Grass, 50 grams, Clear Wood Fruit 1, Secondary ingredient, God Burial Flower 5 grams …
Effects: Heals external injuries, promotes blood production, and recovers vital energy. Has the effect of recovering vital energy.
Refinement required: 2 family's luck points.
The main effect of this Elixir Of Spring was to heal injuries. If one had the Elixir Of Spring when they went out, the mortality rate would be greatly reduced. This was mainly because Three Leaf Spiritual Grass and Clear Wood Fruit were relatively common. One set of ingredients would cost around 400 gold.
Qi Nurturing Pill: Grade Eight Ordinary Pill
Materials required: Main ingredient, Thousand Spiritual Grass, Secondary ingredient, Devil Thorn 70 grams, Heavenly Punishment Grass 20 grams, Black Gastrodia Flax 20 grams …
Effects: Increases the user's vital energy by a small amount. Increases the user's vital energy circulation speed by double. Increases the quality of vital energy. Effects last for one month.
Refinement required: 8 family's luck points.
This Qi Nurturing Pill was a very impressive item. Doubling the speed of vital energy circulation was equivalent to doubling the speed of cultivation. Furthermore, it could purify the quality of vital energy and increase one's vital energy cultivation. It was a very good pill.
The reason why he had to pay attention to this pill was because someone in Donglai County had once found the Thousand Spiritual Grass. He had sold it to a young master of the Tian Family in Linzi City. The young master had broken through to the postcelestial stage after consuming it, and it had become a legend in Linzi City. Hua Kai saw that these secondary ingredients were all common herbs that were relatively easy to find. As long as he had the opportunity to obtain the Thousand Spiritual Grass, he could basically refine this pill.
There was also the last pill recipe. Hua Kai was drooling as he looked at it. This was the recipe for a treasure pill.
Restoration Pill: Grade One Treasure Pill
Materials required: Main ingredient, Monster Pill 1, Earth Core Spiritual Grass 1, Ice Worm Grass 10, Qi Transformation Fruit 1.
Secondary ingredient, Yellow Chrysanthemum 2 grams, Buddha Heart Fruit 1 …
Effects: Increases vitality by 3 points. Significant increase in vital energy. Effects last for three months. Has the effect of slightly slowing down aging.
Refinement required: 10 family's luck points.
Not only could this Restoration Pill increase vitality, but it could also increase vital energy.
Vital energy was the foundation of cultivation. Why would a person's vital energy decline after the age of 60 be unable to break through? Wasn't it because there wasn't enough vital energy to satisfy the body's needs?
This Restoration Pill could replenish a person's vital energy. Even if it was only for three months, many people who were stuck at a bottleneck and had no hope of breaking through would have a sliver of hope.
Furthermore, even if a normal person ate it, the effects would be very great. This pill recipe had four main ingredients and more than twenty secondary ingredients. One of the primary ingredients required a Monster Pill. What was a demonic beast?
Even a Postcelestial Realm cultivator would only be sending himself to death in front of a demonic beast. As for the other two main ingredients, the Qi Transformation Pill and Earth Core Spiritual Grass were relatively easy to find.
As for the other Spirit Pills and Immortal Pills, Hua Kai didn't even want to look at them. Those needed to be tempered with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures as the main ingredients. Hua Kai couldn't do that.
After coming out of the space, Hua Kai got up and walked out of his bedroom. He saw his Fourth Uncle pacing back and forth in the courtyard with a worried look on his face.
"Fourth Uncle, did the number of dire beasts outside the village increase again?
Why don't you come in and take a seat? "Hua Kai asked.
"It has already been ten days. The number of dire beasts outside the village has already exceeded a thousand. Furthermore, there is still one dire beast. They are not moving now because they are waiting for more dire beasts. Today, I saw that the dire beasts outside Guang County were already attacking the city. It seems like there are more than ten savage beasts.
Guang County was a big target, so it was inevitable that it would attract a large number of dire beasts. For them to be able to reach the city walls meant that Guang County had suffered a great loss. Savage beasts attacking a city were different from dire beasts. A single leap of them could cover more than ten meters. The city walls of Fort Wah Ka were nothing to them. Hua Zihuan's worries were inevitable.
"Let's go and take a look at the city walls." Hua Kai said as he walked towards the entrance of the village.
On the tower of the village gate, Grandfather Hua Xing was looking at a group of golden apes in the distance. One of the golden apes was over three meters tall and stood out among the pack of apes.
"That golden ape leader is a savage beast. Furthermore, its intelligence is not low. The housekeeper and I have been keeping an eye on it, not daring to take our eyes off it. If we let it break through from other parts of the village, Fort Wah Ka will suffer a great loss." Hua Xing said softly when he saw Hua Kai approaching.
The thing that the villages outside the city feared the most was the savage beasts. Every year during winter, whenever a savage beast attacked a village, every village would suffer a great loss.
"Now that the snow outside is so thick, it is impossible for us to leave the city. The only thing we can do is to tighten the security.
Increase the number of patrols on the walls of the village. If a dire beast attacks at night, just send out a signal … Oh right, get someone to water the walls!
If the walls are frozen at night, it will make it more difficult for the dire beasts to attack the city. "Hua Kai did not have any good ideas.
At this moment, a villager suddenly saw a figure walking towards Fort Wah Ka on the official road in the distance. There were many dire beasts following behind him. From time to time, he would stop to fight with the dire beasts behind him before turning around and continuing to flee.
"Why would someone dare to leave the village at this time? Isn't he courting death?" Hua Zihuan said as he looked at the figure in the distance who was still persisting.
"It's not Chen 'er!" Hua Xing realized that the person in the distance was not his youngest son and ignored him.
Hua Kai saw that the person wielded a broadsword and killed a few wolves in a few rounds. Unfortunately, he was walking alone in the wilderness during winter and was a live target. All the dire beasts surrounded him.
"He seems to be dying. What about Hua Kai?" Hua Zihuan asked when he saw that the ranger almost fell to his side a few times.
"For an unrelated passerby, you let us enter a dangerous place. Such kindness …"
Hua Kai was about to say that Fort Wah Ka did not have the ability to give out such kindness, but a system notification sounded in his mind.
"Side Mission: Save the School of Novels' student, Yu Jun.
Mission Reward: Purple-Gold Ice Silk Armor. "
Purple-Gold Ice Silk Armor (Blue Grade 9): A high-quality inner armor made of purple-gold and ice silk. It can withstand 60% of the attack power and 90% of True Qi attacks below the Foundation Establishment realm.
