Chapter 145: Level Up
"All tribe members at the Spirit Consciousness stage, drink the holy water!"
After a moment of consideration, Yi Chen made his decision.
He remembered that Bai Ruo Xin had mentioned this batch of holy water was enough for about three hundred tribe members.
After two hundred Spirit Consciousness tribe members drank the holy water, nearly one-third would remain.
That remaining third would be just enough to re-refine the spiritual sword and defensive treasure.
Enhancing the levels of the spiritual sword and the defensive treasures would make them more powerful and increase their success rate.
Nearby, Bai Ruo Xin pulled a water bag and a small stone bowl from her animal skin bag.
She rinsed the stone bowl with clean water, then took a little less than half a bowl from the iron bucket, about one hundred milliliters, and brought it to Yi Chen.
The fake heavy criminals felt nothing, while the other tribe members were completely clueless about hygiene, their faces frozen in shock.
They only knew that the high priest was shameless enough to curry favor with Yi Chen by laying down an animal skin path in the valley, a truly absurd act.
Now it seemed that this leader of the Intelligence Organization had taken things even further.
He flattered Yi Chen to such an extent that even taking a drink became a spectacle.
No wonder a woman with exquisite features and fair skin, exuding an otherworldly and ethereal charm, could stand beside the clan leader every day without making him feel sick.
Yi Chen took the stone bowl and looked at the clear holy water inside.
He felt a sense of wastefulness at the thought of drinking it directly.
However, after a brief hesitation, he downed the little bowl of holy water in one gulp.
After receiving the stone bowl back from Yi Chen, Bai Ruo Xin filled it again and took small sips.
…
This time, the tribe members felt nothing.
In the live room, countless women erupted in outrage.
"This woman is so shameless, she actually used the stone bowl that Yi Chen drank from to sip the holy water."
"Damn, she beat me to it and has now indirectly kissed Yi Chen."
"I knew it, whether she’s from the Revival Army or sent by ambitious individuals, she has ulterior motives for Yi Chen. Just look at her enjoying that sip, she must think of the bowl as Yi Chen’s lips."
"She should take a look in the mirror; put her on an exile planet, and she’s the absolute ugly woman. Isn’t she worried this will disgust Yi Chen?"
Various jealous comments surged in waves, leaving the male audience in the live room feeling both amused and embarrassed.
…
Seeing Yi Chen and Bai Ruo Xin drink, Little Gold Ball immediately judged the water to be good stuff.
With a splash, it jumped directly into the iron bucket and drank heartily.
Once Bai Ruo Xin finished and put the stone bowl back in the animal skin bag, the four leaders were left speechless.
Zong Shan could only order his subordinates to fetch another stone bowl.
After scooping a bit and drinking, he passed the stone bowl to Tai Shi beside him.
Tai Shi drank and then handed it to Guli.
They continued to pass the bowl like this.
Two hundred people shared one bowl of water, and it was even Little Gold Ball’s bath water, so the tribe members felt no pressure at all.
Only the fake heavy criminals felt a warm wave rise in their stomachs after drinking the holy water, mixed with a persistent feeling of nausea.
Having been on the exile planet for two years, they had grown accustomed to this life. In many cases, they even approached problems from the perspective of their current identity within the Flame Mountain Tribe.
However, some details still felt hard for them to fully adapt to.
"Guli, you are in charge of this operation," Yi Chen commanded.
"When our visibility improves and we can enter the Misty Forest, all Spirit Consciousness tribe members should go in and, based on the information collected by the Intelligence Organization, first conquer the nearest tribe."
"The rest of the tribe members, along with those flying fierce beasts, will stay in the sky to follow."
Guli nodded in response.
In terms of prestige, among the four main leaders, the old clan leader Tai Shi held the highest position.
But in terms of relationships, Guli undoubtedly took the lead.
As for strength and intelligence, that remained uncertain for now.
Thus, the other three leaders felt a bit dissatisfied.
They understood that one situation could lead to another.
With all four leaders gathering and Guli in charge, it meant that in similar situations in the future, it would likely be Guli leading again.
In the Flame Mountain Tribe, even though the high priest’s power was severely diminished, he still rightfully held the title of the foremost person.
The Military was divided into four armies, each fighting independently.
This seemed to signal that Guli would lead the Military in the future.
However, even with this, they dared not voice their opposition.
Including Guli, all four main leaders were local tribe members who held Yi Chen in deep reverence, far more than the fake heavy criminals.
Before Yi Chen made his decision, they might have dared to compete with each other in private.
But after Yi Chen’s decision, they lacked even the courage to oppose.
In truth, they were overthinking the situation.
As the four armies continued to grow, they would sooner or later reform similarly to the tribes and select a leader to command the four armies.
Yet, Yi Chen never considered Guli as a candidate.
He understood Guli well enough to know she was not a suitable choice in terms of personality.
As for the other three leaders, he had not interacted much with them, making them still potential candidates.
Assigning Guli to lead this operation was purely because he was more familiar with her, with no deeper intention behind it.
"You control the flying treasure to follow us inside! Also, inform the Political Council to send more logistical personnel and prepare for reception," Yi Chen ordered.
Without realizing it, his casual arrangement sparked much speculation about his thoughts.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
He gave one more instruction to Bai Ruo Xin, then used his divine consciousness to guide the remaining half barrel of holy water back into the flying treasure.
Guli began organizing the team to gather.
Two hundred and six Spirit Consciousness stage geniuses stepped into the Misty Forest.
The remaining three hundred soldiers from the Northern Army, along with over a hundred flying fierce beasts, took to the skies.
Once Bai Ruo Xin arranged the message transmission, she controlled the stone house and positioned it at the center of the team as they entered the Misty Forest together.
The two teams, one above and one below, complemented each other as they headed towards the tribe that Luo Shi had previously encountered.
Inside the stone house, Yi Chen first used his divine consciousness to inspect the thick fog in the forest, ensuring there were no hidden dangers before taking out the spiritual sword to begin refining it again.
The three spiritual artifacts he was refining belonged to the second-grade category.
With the addition of the fourth-grade holy water that had a strengthening function, it was enough to easily elevate their grade to third-grade.
Moreover, this occurred under the current limitation of Yi Chen’s strength, which prevented him from refining fourth-grade spiritual artifacts.
Otherwise, with some additional materials for spiritual artifacts, he could even refine fourth-grade spiritual artifacts.
Of course, without space-type spirit mines, adding more materials would result in larger-sized spiritual artifacts.
Especially the spiritual sword, which could potentially turn into a giant sword.
Under the control of his divine consciousness, the spiritual sword floated in front of him.
A flame enveloped the spiritual sword.
In the fire, the spiritual sword quickly melted, and he added the holy water into it.
In about three hours, it successfully fused together and reshaped.
After a few more hours, a defensive treasure the size of a glass bead was also completed, greatly enhancing its power.
As for the flying treasure, Yi Chen chose not to refine it.
Firstly, it was inconvenient; secondly, refining it would only boost the speed and material strength of the flying treasure without adding any other functionalities.
He could refine it later when convenient.
After successfully refining the spiritual sword and defensive treasure, Yi Chen ignored the situation outside and focused on his training.
