Tang Lei's strength had broken through. That night, Xue Chen also appeared in the [Family Dimension] after absorbing the Heavenly Fire Body Tempering Pill.

Xue Chen had broken through the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm and entered the Xiantian Realm. His constitution had increased by five points, but it was still the weakest of the three.
His talent was extraordinary, his willpower was super strong, and he didn't have to worry about his SS + strength. Now that the effects of the [Heavenly Fire Body Tempering Pill] were taking effect, his physique would improve at the fastest speed. One could imagine how terrifying the speed of his strength would become.
"You're too hardworking!
Build more strength in the future. Wait until your body is used to it before using the Heavenly Fire Body Tempering Pill. You're only 19 years old this year and you're already increasing very quickly. Try not to fight in the future! "Hua Kai looked at Xue Chen. His body hadn't recovered yet, so he said to him.
"Family Head, I understand!
Now, I more or less have the ability to protect our stronghold. Last year, the Ujimqin tribe sent twenty thousand horses and fifteen thousand slaves to the Erdos tribe's stronghold. In addition to our harvest in the Hun Kingdom this year, our caravan will not have it easy. "Xue Chen said.
"This year, the Hua family caravan doesn't need to herd cattle and sheep. It's much easier than last year.
Our caravan still has a Xiantian Realm expert leading the caravan. If you stay in the Erdos Tribe for another year, there will be many caravans entering Leopard Jade Pass. We already control the North Mountain, and Donghu's threat to the caravan will be greatly reduced. You can come back next year! "Hua Kai said.
This year, the Hua family caravan didn't need to rush so much. The snow disaster had just passed, and the number of cattle and sheep had decreased greatly. It wasn't suitable to bring cattle and sheep this year.
Therefore, as long as they could return before the end of July, the Hua family's business group could train the slaves in the Erdos tribe for two more months this year. This way, they could ride back faster.
Two days after Xue Chen advanced to the Xiantian realm, Erzhuang also successfully advanced to the Xiantian realm. Erzhuang only had an A grade aptitude, and now that he had advanced to the second level of the Xiantian realm, his physique had reached 56 points. If he wanted to advance any further, it would become increasingly difficult in the future. Hua Kai couldn't help but think about how to find some heavenly treasures that could increase one's aptitude.
Spiritual treasures that could increase one's aptitude were incomparably precious to any clan. Their first choice was to give them to the most outstanding young people of the clan. Very few of them were left for sale.
Even if they didn't use it themselves, they would still offer it to the Sovereign Clan in exchange for benefits. Thus, if one wanted to buy a spirit treasure that could increase one's aptitude, money alone was not enough.
Hua Kai had long been in contact with the Four Seas Merchant Association. He had asked the other party to keep an eye out for any spirit treasures that could increase one's aptitude. In the end, after so many years, there was still no news. Hua Kai felt that he should change the way he obtained spirit treasures.
Time quickly entered the middle of March. High Willow City was still in the construction stage this year. Many commoners had already started their busy year. Many clans had already prepared everything for this year's business. A few clans had agreed to send a list of goods to the Jia Clan. After the Jia Clan looked at the goods and their destination, they would issue a [Travel Permit]. These small business groups would then set off.
This year, the North Mountain had already been occupied by the High Willow County. There were no longer any threats outside of Leopard Jade Pass. Thus, High Willow City was not very strict with the inspection of the business groups this year. This year, the number of business groups in High Willow City was even more than last year.
In the morning, a group of horse carriages came swaying from the south of High Willow City. There were about a few hundred people, and they looked like a small business group.
They walked to the outside of High Willow County's city gate and formed a circle. However, they didn't enter the city. At this time, a group of guards on the city wall came out from the city gate and walked towards them.
"What are you doing? Why are you outside the city and not going in?" The team leader looked at the other party with vigilance.
"Honorable soldiers!
We are a small business group. We heard that we can leave Leopard Jade Pass this year, so we are here to try our luck. Please accept this small amount of silver. "
The person in charge of the business group was already at the Qi Refinement Realm. He took out a piece of silver that was about two taels and handed it to the team leader with a smile.
"Our Xuanwu Army has a rule that we cannot casually take anyone's things. Do you want me to be expelled from the army?" The team leader looked to be around 30 years old and had the appearance of a prairie man.
"This … Honorable Soldier, High Willow City also has such a rule. It seems to be much more prosperous than before!" The person in charge of the business group said carefully.
"Isn't that so?
Don't you know who this High Willow County belongs to? Our Hua family treats the commoners the best. We have never bullied any business groups that pass by. You can enter the city and take a look. If you have something to sell, no one will come to buy it at the door! "
When the team leader heard the other party talking about High Willow City, his face was filled with pride. Who couldn't see the changes in High Willow City in the past few years? It was like a change every month.
"You are also a member of the Hua family?
Sorry for the disrespect … "
As the person in charge spoke, the team leader's face turned red. "I was once a Household Servant in the Hua family for three years!"
"Uh!
… Being a Household Servant is also not bad!
Honorable Soldier, we are all from small families. This year, we heard that we could leave Leopard Jade Pass, so we raised money to buy some goods. We don't have much on us, so we can't enter the city! "The person in charge of the business group was also very amiable. He couldn't help but say.
"So you don't want to enter because you are afraid of the entrance fee!
Our High Willow City doesn't have an entrance fee. If you enter the city and head east, you will see a big market. That place is specially prepared for all the business groups that pass by.
You can ask about the prices of goods in the prairie there. You can also sell your goods there.
The food and lodging in the big market are very cheap. You can go in and take a look. "The team leader suggested.
When the person in charge of the business group heard this, he hesitated. One had to be careful when doing business outside.
It was reasonable to say that High Willow City was within the pass. Normal cities shouldn't have any dangers. However, when he saw that the team leader looked like he was from the prairie, he turned to look at the other leaders behind him.
"Let's go in and take a look!
There are so many people going in and out! "One of the leaders said.
"Since we don't have to pay the entrance fee, let's go in and take a look …"
The person in charge saw the huge High Willow City in the distance. No matter how he looked at it, it was a civilized city in the central plains. Immediately, the worry in his heart lessened a lot.
When the team leader saw that the people in the business group were looking at him with vigilance, he angrily returned to the city.
"You guys wait outside first. I will go in and take a look. If there is no problem, then we will bring the business group in." When the Qi Realm warrior finished speaking, the others nodded.
The moment he entered High Willow City, the person in charge of the business group was stunned by the scene in front of him. In front of him were rows of lively streets. Because Hua Kai placed all the normal shops in the outer city, the prosperity of the outer city was not at all comparable to the big cities in the central plains.
There were clear signs on the side of the road. If one wanted to go to the market, where to go to the horse market, where to go to the slave market, and the direction to the inner city.
When the person in charge of the business group entered the commercial district, he saw that there were stalls selling snacks everywhere. If he walked further, he would reach the food city. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, the person in charge actually thought that he had arrived at Ji City.
"Mutton giblets soup … Mutton giblets soup, 4 bone coins for a bowl!"
"Soy paste cake!
Delicious soy paste cake! "
The street was filled with the sound of hawking. The sound of storytellers telling stories could be heard coming from the teahouses. When the story reached a good part, a burst of lively cheers could be heard.
Unknowingly, they had walked around for more than an hour, but the person in charge of the business group still hadn't explored half of the outer city of High Willow City. He remembered that the business group outside the city was still waiting for him, so he left High Willow City and returned to his own business group.
"Why are you back so late? Did someone in the city give you a hard time?" Seeing the person in charge of the business group had returned, someone hurriedly came up and asked.
"This High Willow City is really strange. I have been here before. This city is now filled with wooden buildings. It is very lively inside!" The person in charge said.
"Isn't that even better?
Come, let's go in and have a look … Oh right, have you seen the big market in High Willow City?
Are they buying everything? Do we get any profit from delivering our goods here? "A leader of the business group asked.
"This … I was just watching the food festival. I didn't have time to go to the big market!" The person in charge of the business group blushed.
"Let's go. We have waited for so long, but no one in the city has brought food to sell. The people in this city must be rich.
Once we enter the city, we will know everything. "Someone said impatiently.
This business group began to organize their carriages and slowly drove towards High Willow City. When they arrived at the gate, the guards gave them directions. When they entered High Willow City, they were stopped by a group of inspection guards.
"Didn't you say that you don't need to pay the entrance fee?
What are you trying to do? "A leader of the business group hurriedly asked when he saw that the city guards were about to attack.
"Our High Willow City doesn't need to pay the entrance fee. However, not everything can enter the city.
The Hua family has a rule that all books entering the prairie must be strictly inspected. They are not allowed to send slaves from the Central Plains into the prairie. They are not allowed to send Divine Weapons of Grade Six and above into the prairie. "The leader of the group said to them.
"Is our business group the kind of business group that can afford to buy books and Divine Weapons?
We can check … but please be gentle! "A leader of the business group stepped forward and said.
The inspection was over very quickly. This business group only brought some food, linen, coarse cloth, coarse salt, low-grade weapons, and so on. There wasn't anything of good quality.
After entering High Willow City, this business group of more than twenty large carriages followed the road signs and arrived at the big market. This used to be a very large open space. Many business groups had already gathered here. The scene looked very lively.
"Is there anyone selling food?
One stone 780 bone coins! "A young man saw them coming and hurriedly asked.
A young man of the business group heard this and his eyes moved. The food they bought was bought with 300 bone coins. They could make a lot of money here. A leader next to him saw this and pushed him. He couldn't let people easily see through his depth when he went out to do business.
"Is there linen? One bolt is 16 silver. I will buy as much as you can!"
"High Willow City novels, Xiongnu language and Hu language. They are very popular in the prairie. A set is only 1 gold and 15 silver!"
"High Willow City wine, the cheapest one jin is only 15 bone coins. At least one jar is 50 jin!"
