The Great Wild God - Chapter 93

Chapter 93 Beishan Wants to Hug His Thick Thighs
“Everything went well in Azure Water City, but after the Tianma Lake Stronghold was completed, hundreds of rogue cultivators poured in and there were more disputes” Zong Tu said from the side.

“So that’s how it is!” Chen Xun sighed softly.

Such a situation was not out of his expectations.

Cultivation consumes resources.

Even if an expert who entered the Reincarnation Realm could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper his physical body and cultivate spiritual energy, he still needed spiritual herbs to nurture his spirit, and rare metal to refine magical artifacts.

However, the generation of cultivation resources required time.

The low-grade spiritual herbs needed to refine the black python required a growth cycle of more than ten years. Zhi Ginseng and other advanced spirit items would take decades or even hundreds of years to mature in places with abundant spirit energy. And when it comes to rare treasures, such as rare iron and other heavenly treasures used to forge magical artifacts, it’s even more so when it comes to using a little less …

The Azure Water Wilderness stretched for three to four thousand kilometers, and its territory was extremely vast. However, the Su Clan had a foothold for a thousand years, and there were thousands of tribes that reproduced. Other than those extremely fierce and evil lands, even late Reincarnation Realm experts did not dare to easily enter. In the wilderness west of Lan City, the supply of cultivation resources was gradually becoming insufficient, and even becoming depleted. It was inevitable for the Su Clan to expand oudly.

The northern mountain of Python Teeth Ridge and the lake wasteland to the north were smaller than the Azure Water Wasteland. However, as a buffer area between the Su Clan and the Profound Frost Sect for thousands of years, it was sparsely populated and was actually an undeveloped virgin land. Thus, it naturally became one of the important directions for the Su Clan to expand outwards.

The Su Clan used the Gui Xi Tribe as a pioneer to enter Tianma Lake to build a city. Perhaps the Gui Xi Tribe had the ambition to integrate the Northern Mountain Tribe, but the Su Clan valued more the cultivation resources of the Northern Mountain of Python Fang Ridge and the Lake Wilderness.

On the other hand, the Northern Mountain and Lake Wilderness had a vast territory, and the nine races occupied a corner. Countless wandering cultivators, clans, and clan forces flooded in. Although there was friction with the nine races, there would not be too intense conflicts.

Only Tianma Lake Stronghold City was built within the territory of the Montenegro Tribe, and a large number of rogue cultivators and clan forces had flooded in. The situation facing the Montenegro Tribe was much more severe.

Hearing Grandpa tell Gu Jianfeng about the dangerous situation in Beishan, Chen Xun thought for a moment and said directly to Gu Jianfeng,

“With all due respect, it’s useless for you to rush back with Gu Chen!”

Compared to the Azure Water Wilderness, which had thousands of tribes and tens of millions of people, Black Mountain Tribe could only be considered a village with a slightly larger population.

Not to mention powerful races like Ghost Faction, there were hundreds of rogue cultivators pouring into the Northern Mountain. Among them, there were many experts at the Reincarnation Realm. What ability did Black Mountain Tribe have to expel them from the surroundings of Tianma Lake?

If someone angered an evil cultivator and ruthlessly annihilated the Montenegro Tribe, who would they talk to?

Moreover, what ability does Black Mountain Tribe have to restrict the actions of those powerful rogue cultivators and clan forces?

“Commandant Su Wu’s Manor won’t sit idly by?” Zong Ya asked worriedly, “The Black Python is right next to the Black Mountain Tribe. The situation is better than the Black Mountain Tribe right now, but the situation is getting more and more intense. The Black Python will inevitably bring disaster to the fish in the pond.”

Chen Xun shook his head and told Gu Jianfeng and Zong Ya what he was thinking.

The Su Clan and Canglan College had a strict system, You don’t have to do it yourself, As long as the large and small tribes, clans, and the thousands and tens of thousands of rogue cultivators in the Azure Water wanted to obtain purer pills, more powerful profound weapons, precious armors, and various magical artifacts from the Su clan, the cultivation resources they could obtain from the Northern Mountain and the Lake Wilderness would gather into their hands continuously when they thought of cultivating the Su clan’s secret profound arts.

Therefore, from the Su Clan’s standpoint, they would only hope that the surroundings of Tianma Lake would become more and more lively.

I hope that the Su Clan can uphold justice for the Montenegro Tribe. That’s asking for fish because of wood.

Gu Jianfeng was also worried and dejected.

Although he was hopeful that he could break through to the eighth level of Marrow Cleansing in the near future and be proud of himself in the mountains a hundred miles away from the Black Mountain Tribe, he knew that his low cultivation was nothing after he opened his eyes to Azure Water City.

Gu Jianfeng asked Chen Xun,

“Ah Xun, you have always been resourceful. How do you think the Montenegrin Tribe will handle this matter? Do you have to be patient?”

“The Montenegrin Tribe is too weak to fight for the interests of Tianma Lake. The Montenegrin Tribe’s posture is too tough. They can’t benefit from it, and instead suffer from it. The wise don’t do it,” Chen Xun said. “The Su Clan’s position on behalf of the Su Clan will not have any definite actions in Tianma Lake, but it’s not that there’s no way to change it.”

“How?” Gu Jianfeng asked.

Chen Xun said, “The Black Mountain Tribe has given the area around Tianma Lake to the Northern Mountain Society. I think that the Northern Mountain Society will hold onto the thigh of Su Lingyin, the teacher of the Thousand Orchids. Perhaps it will be possible to slightly restrict the wandering cultivators who pour into Tianma Lake, and then it will be possible to fight for some benefits from the various clan forces.”

Including the Black Python, many tribes of the Northern Mountain had been too direct in their past ways.

If you want anything, come directly to the door and snatch it. If he didn’t want to give anything, he would directly tear apart his face and start a fight. He didn’t even say a single word about strategy, which made Chen Xun feel rather helpless.

After establishing the Beishan Society, the nine races could be considered to have joined forces. However, they hoped that the Beishan Society, the Left Thorn Tribe, and the other eight races would stand up for the Montenegrin Tribe in this matter. They also hoped that the interests of the surrounding Tianma Lake would become the common interests of the nine races.

At the same time, the combined forces of the nine races were still too weak. If they wanted to restrict Ghost Faction, restrict hundreds of wandering cultivators, and possibly even more in the future, and restrict the clan forces, they only needed to hug Su Lingyin’s thigh.

Chen Xun had never seen Su Lingyin before, but he thought to himself that as an elder of the Azure Water School’s inner court, even if she wasn’t comparable to Qing Yangzi, she was probably at the same level as Su Junyuan.

Right now, they could only hug Su Lingyin’s thick thigh.

Chen Xun patiently told Gu Jianfeng what was at stake.

Gu Jianfeng slapped his thigh excitedly and said, “That’s right. Why didn’t we expect that there was still this path?”

This matter still needed to be unified within the Montenegro Tribe, and then they would go to Zuo Chonggu to discuss it, so Chen Xun would help them come up with a plan. It was best for the black python to be able to share some of the benefits. If it couldn’t, it should also try its best to control the situation from deteriorating.

**********************

After Gu Jianfeng left, Chen Xun and Grandpa Zongtu sat in the study and unknowingly talked for a night.

After dawn, Zhao Tu rushed over to pay his respects and showed Chen Xun the income and expenditure accounts for the past nine months.

Chen Xun had set up his own gates in Azure Water City, and Zhao Tu was his appointed steward. The Black Python Pill and the Sect Diagram that the Black Mountain Tribe had sent over nine months ago were all left to Zhao Tu to take care of.

Low-grade spirit pills, stored, spirit herb energy is extremely easy to overflow; Zhao Tu exchanged the 400 Black Python Pills for more than 30 True Yang Origin Cultivation Pills in Huayang Square and filled a small bronze bottle.

Apart from the day when Chen Xun had naturalized and showed his face in the guest courtyard of Commandant Su Wu’s Manor, he had spent the next nine months cultivating in seclusion in the courtyard.

However, the monthly salary of five Origin Gathering Pills was delivered to the Guest Council on time. Just enough for the daily expenses of the yard.

“It’s mainly because Ah Qing is rather provocative. He doesn’t eat meat other than desolate beasts, and he even ate three Origin Gathering Pills two months ago …” Zhao She held the account and sweated slightly on his forehead, fearing that Chen Xun wouldn’t believe his words.

Chen Xun cultivated in seclusion for nine months. The daily expenses of the others in the courtyard, five Origin Gathering Pills per month, were really a little too much, not to mention that Zong Tu, Chong Ya, and the others didn’t need to spend any money here to cultivate.

“Ah Qing?” Chen Xun kicked the green-furred leopard lying beside his feet and asked with a smile, “You guys named this animal Ah Qing?”

“It was Cai’er who screamed nonsense.” Zhao Tu smiled guiltily.

In the city, Huayang Square was not the only place to collect and sell cultivation resources. In addition, there was a special beast market.

In the Beast Market, wild exotic beasts like Xuan Bao and Scaled Horse could be seen occasionally. However, Ah Qing’s figure was no different from Xuan Bao’s, and his azure fur was like silk. It was as smooth as water. It was also a rare mutant in Azure Water City.

Back when Chen Xun and Su Tang were in the desolate beast, the cub didn’t even have baby teeth, so it didn’t have a place to find milk for it to drink, so it directly fed it Yuan Gathering Paste. Unexpectedly, it had raised his appetite.

However, it would take a hundred years for this wild mutant to reach adulthood and become truly powerful. Before that, even eating could destroy the smaller sects.

Chen Xun wondered if he should kill this fellow and make soup to nourish his body.

Chen Xun thought nonsense in his heart. Ah Qing seemed to have sensed it and roared at Chen Xun discontentedly.

“This greedy fellow,” Chen Xun laughed and said to Zhao Tu, “Ah Qing is growing up. Other than beast meat, you should give him one Essence Gathering Pill every month. Don’t let him eat it secretly. Also, Grandpa said that he would bring Zhao Jun and Zhao Jun back to the black python to cultivate. All the expenses should be paid by the yard, so don’t save …”

Zhao Tu and his two sons were only seven or eight years old, so they didn’t join any other sects, instead cultivating with Zong Tu. He had only just entered the sect to cultivate and consumed very little energy. Even if he consumed the Origin Gathering Pill once every six months, it would be more than enough.

Hearing this, Zhao Tu was extremely grateful.

The clerk who had worked in the Immortal Retention House for more than twenty years had just been promoted to shopkeeper, and his salary for a year was less than two Yuan Gathering Pills.

Now that his second son was able to cultivate with the Dark Python’s Shaman Sect Diagram, the amount of medicinal pills he needed to cultivate was still supplied from the courtyard. Where could he find such a wealthy employer?

**************************

The pills refined by Su Clan, used by True Yang Realm cultivators to replenish qi and blood, were mainly Yuan Gathering Pills and True Yang Yuan Cultivating Pills.

The True Yang Origin Cultivation Pill was of a higher level. When consumed by late True Yang Realm cultivators, it had more absorptive power and had a slight spiritual enhancement effect.

Grandpa Zongtu had returned to the black python this time to try to cultivate his spiritual power. He could not lack pills that could replenish his qi, blood, and spirit. He had left behind more than ten Azure Yang Pills to prepare for occasional occasions. He had insisted on letting Grandpa and Zong Ya take them with him.

The Su Clan’s Patriarch had lived for hundreds of years. He might even have broken through to the Heaven Origin Realm, and he was still unable to transcend the mortal world. There was naturally a deep meaning behind such a painstaking operation.

Not to mention that the Black Python had great kindness in taking him in, even if he wanted to keep his hands hidden for the future, Chen Xun still had the ability to support the Black Python’s rise as much as possible.

Gu Jianfeng went back to discuss with Gu Chen. Gu Chen also decided to leave with Zong Tu and Zong Ya for the Northern Mountain.

Whether or not Chen Xun’s plan would work, the Montenegro Tribe would have to reach an agreement first. It would take at most ten days and a half to get news of this matter.

Chen Xun didn’t want to leave behind any clues regarding the refinement of the Void Origin Pearl, causing outsiders to be suspicious.

After Grandpa left, he was not in a hurry to find Ge Yi, nor did he run back to the courtyard. Instead, he stayed in the courtyard to continue cultivating.

Although the rogue cultivator who had found Yue Lun to sell the Void Origin Pearl and the Azure Flame Pearl was trying to sell them for a high price, Chen Xun knew that the Void Origin Pearl was an advanced storage magical artifact. It was exceptionally precious, so he took the Void Origin Pearl out alone.

Chen searched for a string made of silk and tied the Void Origin Pearl to his neck. Then, he threw the bronze medicine furnace, the small bronze bottle containing the Nine Origin Nourishing Pill, the True Yang Nourishing Origin Pill, the Concentrating Origin Pill, and other pills into the Void Origin space.

Apart from the Void Origin Pearl, the other eighteen Azure Flame Pearls he had seized from Yue Lun were relatively ordinary. Chen Xun had spent five days refining them.

After absorbing enough spiritual energy, each Azure Flame Pearl would store a spell of fierce flames.

From the several magic books that he had learned from the robbery at the Immortal Retention Temple, Chen Xun happened to have some related magic arts. After learning them, he could use the Azure Flame Pearl to unleash the Fire Flame Burst.

After successfully refining the Azure Flame Pearl, Chen Xun injected a bit of spiritual sense into the Azure Flame Pearl. He also discovered that there was an extremely weak spiritual line between the soul sea and the Azure Flame Pearl.

As a low-priced talisman artifact, the Azure Flame Pearl could not be compared to the Void Origin Pearl at all. After refining, it could sense the soul sea. Even if there was a spirit thread, it was still extremely weak.

The Spiritual Thread was extremely weak. If Chen Xun had cultivated the first level of the Dragon Binding Art to a new level in the past nine months by refining the Void Origin Pearl, he wouldn’t have been able to detect the existence of the Spiritual Thread if he hadn’t had the experience of refining the Void Origin Pearl.

Since he had the experience of refining the Void Origin Pearl, Chen Xun attempted to inject the Qi and Blood Divine Splendor into the Azure Flame Pearl along the Spiritual Line. He discovered that the speed at which the Azure Flame Pearl simultaneously absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had increased dramatically.

Moreover, the faster the Qi and Blood Divinities were injected, the faster they could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In the blink of an eye, they were almost able to complete the preparation of the Flame Impact Technique.

Sure enough, talisman artifacts weren’t just used to store spells.

His previous understanding of talismans was still narrow.

With one or two talismans in hand, when fighting against the enemy, they could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to the maximum extent while injecting their blood vitality and divine brilliance. In fact, they could greatly reduce their own consumption.

Fierce Flame Attack was not a magical technique that could be described as profound. Chen Xun had learned magical techniques. With his current pure qi and blood, he could only continuously cast it three times. However, with the Azure Flame Pearl in hand, he could continuously cast the Fierce Flame Attack six to seven times. His personal strength was equivalent to doubling.

As for the Diamond Profound Armor, after exhausting all of its protective magic power in battle, it didn’t have to wait for the next sacrificial artifact to be used again. As long as the enemy could not break through the defense, as long as his blood vitality was strong enough, the enemy would never be able to break through the defense.
