Chapter 175: Chapter 122: Cultivation Has Always Been a War (Super Long Chapter)_5

“Subordinates, willing to serve you unto death!”

Yuan Wujue accepted the jade bottle and bowed deeply.

Chen Qing helped him up, saying, “No worries, focus on your cultivation. I will have many tasks for you in the future.”

After announcing the rewards prepared by Xuanping, everyone was filled with joy. Chen Qing then said, “This great victory was made possible because of everyone’s unity and relentless effort in battle. Let’s feast!”

“Raise your glasses and drink with me!”

After drinking, Chen Qing said, “This great victory was just a minor test of our strength. There will be many more opportunities where I’ll need you.”

...

After the banquet, Yuan Wujue stayed to express his gratitude and loyalty. Chen Qing advised him, “Be cautious. You are a defector, and your background doesn’t compare to theirs. Be patient and tolerant.”

“Of course, if you face injustice, I will stand up for you!”

“I heard about your actions this time, and I anticipated that this spiritual item sword Gu would be yours.”

Tears flowed down Yuan Wujue’s face. The man who didn’t cry when defeated was now crying.

After comforting Yuan Wujue, Chen Qing ordered him to leave and bond with the spiritual item sword Gu.

Once Yuan Wujue left, Chen Qing said, “Bring Mei Zuochen here.”

Jiang Miaoxian quickly went out and brought Mei Zuochen. Now, only Chen Qing and Mei Zuochen remained in the great hall, with Jiang Miaoxian attending outside.

Upon seeing Mei Zuochen enter, Chen Qing reached out and embraced his arm. “Your merits in this battle should have been ranked first.”

“Unfortunately, one cannot go against public anger.”

Hearing Chen Qing say this, Mei Zuochen felt much more at ease. All his dissatisfaction was directed at Wei Qingchen and Yuan Wujue.

Mei Zuochen acknowledged, “It is enough that you appreciate my efforts.”

Chen Qing continued, “I do have more than just one useless spirit Gu.”

“Next time, I will ensure Yuan Wujue has no chance to compete for the top spot. You must find a way to secure the first place.”

In the great river, there was an old turtle with a spirit Gu. Once the power was consolidated, Chen Qing planned to send Wei Qingchen to obtain it.

Upon hearing this, Mei Zuochen was reinvigorated. There was more!

“Thank you for valuing me. Next time, I will give my all!”

Chen Qing then said, “Do not let outsiders know of this matter.”

“Prepare in secret, and don’t let others discover that I informed you in advance.”

Mei Zuochen nodded repeatedly. He was the only one Chen Qing had called to remind, feeling a unique sense of trust.

“I understand.”

After Mei Zuochen left, Chen Qing returned to his seat. He had reviewed the Great Witch’s experiences, finding them not entirely replicable but useful for reference.

Iron Flow Valley today was not like the Spirit Plant Hall.

The people of the Spirit Plant Hall were gentle, requiring no such measures.

But now, under his command, there were fierce tigers.

Jiang Miaoxian, waiting outside, suddenly wondered if something was wrong with her lord, as he spoke differently to Yuan Wujue and Mei Zuochen.

Sitting alone on his grand seat, Chen Qing pondered his plans.

Next, preparations for the Foundation Establishment and the cultivation resources required for it were necessary.

Despite gaining many spirit stone mines from the war, mining would take time.

After mining, there would be smelting, a lengthy process.

And the resources needed for Foundation Establishment cultivation were vast, far exceeding those of the Qi Refining Realm, requiring proper preparation.

It was time to order a large migration of production cultivators to that great lake.

Opening a thousand acres of Spiritual Field near that great lake, combined with “All Things Grow,” Chen Qing was confident in producing a million pounds of spiritual medicine in a year!

It roughly required three hundred cultivators with production Gu, and the twenty-one tribes might manage to gather them.

Moving the families of these twenty-one tribes and production cultivators here would ensure stability!

He called in Wei Qingchen to discuss, and finally made a decision.

“Order Jiang Yuhu, Yuan Wujue, and Mei Zuochen’s three divisions to permanently station at Jiuhe Lake, safeguarding its security.”

“Order twenty-one tribes to recruit three hundred production cultivators, especially those with plant-based Gu, to open a thousand acres of Spiritual Field near Jiuhe Lake and plant Spirit Ginseng and Blood Ginseng.”

“Order, apart from Jiang Yuhu, Yuan Wujue, and Mei Zuochen’s three divisions, the other eighteen divisions to go to Jiuhe Lake and build a city, then return to their divisions after completion.”

“Order that, with surrounding divisions watching covetously and evil spirits rampant, for the safety of the warriors’ families, relocate all their families to the newly built city at Jiuhe Lake!”

After arranging everything, Chen Qing said, “Handle the specifics, I just want to see the results.”

Wei Qingchen immediately accepted the orders and went to arrange everything.

Chen Qing then found leisure, ready to explore the mysteries of his Light Gu.

His Light Gu was enormously powerful, with a life span far beyond other Light Gu.

The Foundation Establishment tribulation would indeed be difficult. It was crucial to seek out more information and prepare accordingly.

Failure in Foundation Establishment carried a high risk of death.

Only after gathering more information could he make targeted preparations to handle this unknown tribulation.

Though he wasn’t worried about other matters, his encounter with Yin Shu Niang made him wary of his Light Butterfly.

To be precise, he was wary of the Foundation Establishment tribulation if he used it as his Lifebound Gu.

Once linked with spirits, things became mysterious.

This concerns life and death.

Moreover, the conditions for his Light Butterfly’s advancement seemed to hint at something.

“Travel ten thousand miles, observe all things live.”

“Travel ten thousand miles, observe the death of all things.”

It was one thing for his Light Butterfly to control the power of the land, but it could eradicate spirits with just a thought, which caused him concern.

He needed to find a reason to seek out Yin Shu Niang again and see if he could discover more.
