"It might not seem like much here, but there are many small things that are troublesome.
Today, the Erdos Tribe sent a batch of Spirit Herbs. I've already stored them in the Pill Refining Room. The total value is around 120,000 gold. This month, they've sent over 1 million gold worth of Spirit Herbs. There are more than 30,000 Spirit Herbs in total. Chief Tie Fa has already taken a portion of them.
This is the bill, "Xue Chen said as he took out a bill. Hua Kai looked at it and saw that it was about an inch thick. It had only been less than a month.
"This year, we're only sending in horses and slaves. These cows and sheep need to be raised here for a year. We need to train some herders. This way, we'll have a higher chance of driving the cows and sheep back to the High Willow Region."
As Xue Chen spoke to this point, Hua Kai nodded his head lightly. Generally speaking, sheep could travel an average of 50 miles in a day. If they wanted to return to the High Willow Region from the Erdos Tribe, they would need at least four months to cover a distance of more than 4000 miles. This would be very demanding of the herdsmen accompanying them.
Therefore, while Xue Chen was educating the slaves to be loyal, he also needed to train everyone to have herding skills. This would increase everyone's combat strength.
Hua Kai looked at the transaction book and asked Xue Chen, "How's the Erdos Tribe's demand for Spirit Pills this year?"
Xue Chen replied, "This year, their demand for Ordinary Pills has decreased. The demand for Barrier Breaking Pills and Rising Dragon Pills has increased. The demand for Treasure Pills has increased by several times. A few days ago, Chief Tie Fa asked me if I had any pills that could help him break through to the Higher Heaven Realm."
"Give Chief Tie Fa a Dark Ice Pill!
He hasn't accumulated enough strength in the Higher Heaven Realm and is still far from reaching the Foundation Building Realm. However, with the Dark Ice Pill, he can protect himself against Foundation Building Realm experts.
Also, we can give them an appropriate amount of Treasure Pills. This time, 30 of them will enter the Family's Secret Realm to train. With the help of the Treasure Pills, their chances of breaking through will be much higher. "Hua Kai said after thinking for a while.
"Patriarch, it's best if you find some time to go to the slave camp tomorrow and select a batch of slaves with good aptitudes in advance for intensive training. This will make it easier for us to manage the family encampment in the future."
The two of them chatted for a while, and it was already late at night. Today was the day that all the core members of the family would meet. Hua Kai entered the [Family's Secret Realm] and told everyone about the predicament that the Erdos Tribe was currently in. For a long time in the future, the Erdos Tribe's demand for many goods would increase, and the Hua family had to be prepared.
On the second day, Hua Kai still focused on upgrading the BMW. The value of a divine chariot could not be measured by money. The Hua family would get half of the profits from helping the Ordos Tribe upgrade their divine chariots.
In the afternoon, the trial for the ten people of the Erdos Tribe was completed. Today, one of them had reached the Great Circle of Qi Refining and advanced to the Innate Realm. This was the fifth Innate Realm warrior in the Erdos Tribe. This made them more confident in dealing with the upcoming crisis.
In the evening, Hua Kai did not go to the Erdos Tribe's slave camp to select slaves. Instead, he went to the Hua family's slave camp to select people with aptitudes of B- and above. There were a total of 92 people. It could only be said that this group of people had ordinary willpower. Three of them had aptitudes of A- and above, and one of them was a woman.
On the 27th of May, Hua Kai brought the last BMW out of the [Family's Secret Realm]. A smile appeared on his face. This BMW originally had the lowest chance of being upgraded among all the BMWs. He did not expect that it would actually be upgraded to a divine chariot in the end.
In nine days, he brought 19 BMWs into the [Family's Secret Realm] a total of 57 times. Each time, he took an average of one and a half hours. That was a high-intensity trial. If not for the [Big Dream Visualization] to recover his mental strength every day, Hua Kai would have collapsed from exhaustion.
Even so, when he thought about the results of his hard work, Hua Kai felt that everything was worth it. Out of the 19 BMWs, only seven of them had been upgraded to divine chariots. If he told this to others, no one would believe him.
In the end, the distribution of these seven divine chariots became a problem. The Erdos Tribe and the Hua family would each get three and four. In the end, both parties discussed and decided that the Hua family would choose three out of the seven divine chariots, and then the remaining four would go to the Erdos Tribe. In the end, the Erdos Tribe would choose six out of the 12 BMWs that had failed to be upgraded. This was obviously a concession by the Hua family.
The Erdos Tribe had four more divine chariots. Now, they had a total of five divine chariots.
They would use these five divine chariots as breeding stock to slowly improve the quality of the tribe's horses. In the future, these high-end horses would become the pillars of the tribe's survival.
The 30 members of the Erdos Tribe had all finished their training in the [Family's Secret Realm]. In total, two of them had reached the Xiantian Realm and six had reached the Qi Refining Realm. Hua Kai deeply felt that the further they progressed, the harder it was to break through. Even the help of the [Family's Secret Realm] was limited.
Although they did not break through, Hua Kai knew that this training would have a great impact on them in the future. Especially after entering the [Heaven Seeking Stone] secret realm, they had a correct understanding of their past and future. This experience could be compared to an epiphany.
After the BMW and Erdos Tribe members finished their training, Hua Kai finally did not have to work so hard every day. On this night, Hua Kai finished selecting more than 10,000 slaves and divided them into two. At this time, Chief Tie Fa sent someone to find Hua Kai.
In the past few days, Hua Kai had been extremely busy. Chief Tie Fa was also busy dealing with the other tribes. In the past nine days, he had negotiated with nearly 100 small and medium-sized tribes in the Xiongnu Country and established trade relations with many tribes. Many tribes had already established a deep relationship with them. Of course, these were all things that could not be said casually.
In just nine days, Chief Tie Fa no longer cared about the attacks and harassment from the other tribes. Of the six tribes that had participated in the attack on the Erdos Tribe, two of them had already been roped in by the Erdos Tribe. Two of them were neutral, and the remaining two were old rivals of the Erdos Tribe. Chief Tie Fa had already made arrangements to deal with them.
Chief Tie Fa had already sent people to communicate with the remaining tribes. If they were willing to cooperate with the Erdos Tribe, then there was no possibility of them becoming enemies with the Erdos Tribe. The crisis had basically been resolved. Now, it was up to the Karaxin Tribe to find out that something was wrong and think of a new way to deal with the Erdos Tribe.
Chief Tie Fa invited Hua Kai to his tent for dinner. Hua Kai found that Tie Fa had already comprehended the power of ice, but he had only just begun. If he wanted to reach the Foundation Realm, he still had a long way to go.
When they arrived at the Erdos Tribe's tent, Chief Tie Fa told him about the contact between the Erdos Tribe and the other tribes in the Xiongnu Country.
Hua Kai listened to Chief Tie Fa and said, "Right now, we have the upper hand. Unless it's a critical moment, try not to fall out with the Karaxin Tribe. Right now, there are signs of the Erdos Tribe and the Karaxin Tribe being divided into the north and south. What we need to do now is to strengthen our allies and increase our own strength."
Chief Tie Fa said, "I also think the same. Tomorrow, many Qi Transformation Realm and above cultivators from the 52 small and medium-sized tribes will arrive. I want you to see how loyal they are to the Erdos Tribe. If they are trustworthy, I will secretly trade pills with them. This way, their increase in strength will also be beneficial to us."
Hua Kai nodded his head. This way, the Erdos Tribe would benefit from it and would not suffer any harm.
Once the Karaxin Tribe noticed something was wrong, perhaps the Erdos Tribe wouldn't even need to make a move. Their allies and subsidiary tribes would be enough to make things difficult for the Karaxin Tribe.
The reason the Erdos Tribe gathered all the subsidiary tribes was to distribute the pastures and trade.
On this day, more than three hundred people from different clans came to Ordos Clan. After checking the talents, realms, and loyalty of these people, Hua Kai secretly handed the list to Tie Fa.
After the banquet, Chief Tie Fa announced the new distribution method. Most people didn't expect the Erdos Tribe to be so generous. All the remote pastures were distributed, and only a few tribes had their pastures reduced. This showed that their loyalty was negative. Since they hated the Hua family, there was no chance of them being loyal to the Erdos Tribe.
After that, the tribes and the Banner Lords of the Erdos Tribe began to discuss the trade. Chief Tie Fa took the opportunity to invite the leaders of more than 20 tribes to his tent. He secretly discussed the pill trade with them. Every time, he would specifically mention a few highly talented members of the other tribes. This made the tribes admire him very much.
Hua Kai didn't know how much the Erdos Tribe had gained from this banquet. When the banquet ended, Xue Chen told Hua Kai that Chief Tie Fa had sent more than 10,000 elixirs. Among them, there were more than 30 elixirs of rank 5 and above. This time, both the Erdos Tribe and the Hua family had profited greatly.
When the banquet ended, it was time for Hua Jia Caravan to go home. Because they were going on a new path this year, Hua Kai planned to go home on the first of June. After the banquet, the Erdos Tribe earned a lot of horses. Xue Chen had already bought 16000 horses from them. All the slaves here were going to ride home with them.
If all the slaves had a horse, they would be able to ride home much faster. However, there were also problems and risks involved.
First of all, the slaves had to be familiar with horses. Learning how to ride a horse was a problem. The Hua family only had 300 people. It wasn't easy to keep an eye on so many slaves on horses. If the slaves exploded on the way home and they all escaped, Hua Kai would suffer a great loss.
This problem was easily solved with Hua Kai around.
These slaves had been educated in the Hua family's camp for more than a month. They didn't lack food every day. If their loyalty was less than 10 points, Hua Kai had Xue Chen return them to the Erdos Tribe. This time, he would only bring back those with loyalty above 30 points.
There were more than 20,000 slaves in total. Excluding more than 1,000 with loyalty below 10 points, Hua Kai picked them out. When they saw that the Hua family wanted to return them to the Erdos Tribe, they all cried and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. Living in the Hua family's camp, they didn't have to worry about food and even had clothes. Back in the Erdos Tribe, they were worse than cows and horses. How long they could live depended on their luck.
