Chapter 177: Spirit Materials Received
In the room, Yi Chen tirelessly constructed one law seal after another.
Compared to creating energy circulation pathways, constructing law seals was much simpler.
The main point was that it didn’t require intense concentration.
Even if he made a mistake, he could just start over.
There was no need to worry about severe consequences from errors.
His divine consciousness spread outward, enveloping all areas within a radius of a hundred meters.
Compared to his divine consciousness, the two guards at the door and Jin Hu, who was meditating nearby, seemed like mere decorations.
Even though his divine consciousness was only in its warning mode among three possible forms, it was sufficient to sense any intruders entering the area and relay that information to his brain.
If a killer were to invade, the two guards would be far less useful than his divine consciousness.
After all, assassins wouldn’t swagger in boldly from the front.
As for Jin Hu, the captain of the guard team, he was even less impressive.
Though he had exceptional talent, he had been cultivating for a short time and was only at the Spirit Release stage, making him weaker than an ordinary guard.
However, having a guard team was still essential.
While it might not be of much use to him at this stage, in the future, it would become the most powerful and reliable force under his control.
Bai Ruo Xin clearly shared this view; Yi Chen could sense that the members of the guard team seemed to be continually updated with those who had better qualifications.
In fact, he felt it was unnecessary.
The most important thing about the guard team members was their loyalty.
Absolute loyalty.
With someone like him, who had pioneered a Cultivation Method, there would definitely be ways to address talent and qualifications in the future.
Fortunately, Bai Ruo Xin seemed to place a great deal of importance on loyalty.
Yi Chen didn’t know how Bai Ruo Xin assessed and trained the guards’ loyalty, but from how she appointed Jin Hu as the captain, it was clear that loyalty was her top priority.
Moreover, she prioritized loyalty to him as the clan leader.
This was also why Bai Ruo Xin continuously reorganized and sifted through the guard team without his interference.
Of course, not interfering didn’t mean he completely trusted Bai Ruo Xin’s selections.
He would also use his divine consciousness to keep observing, filtering out guards among those selected by Bai Ruo Xin who met his standards.
In a situation where there were no foundations and the clan wasn’t large,
creating and nurturing a completely loyal and powerful guard team from scratch required time and patience.
So, he didn’t rush; he preferred to slowly observe and identify targets before starting their training.
Suddenly, a striking figure entered his divine consciousness’s coverage area.
It was Bai Ruo Xin.
There was no doubt that she was there for something important.
Because Bai Ruo Xin was the person who interacted with him the most, even more than the one who first met him and brought him to the Flame Mountain Tribe, Guli,
Yet, during his training or while creating skills, she had only actively approached him once.
That was long ago, when she came to share the results of her investigation into Guli’s jealousy of his abilities.
“Clan Leader!”
Soon, Bai Ruo Xin’s gentle voice echoed from outside the door.
Swish…
A golden figure flashed by.
The Little Gold Ball instantly transformed into a blur, appearing at the door to open it.
Creeeak…
Looking at Bai Ruo Xin at the door, the small, green bean-like eyes of the Little Gold Ball sparkled with hope.
Yi Chen could endure staying at home for months as a reclusive person, and so could it, but it found it extremely hard to bear.
Every day, it dreamed of a powerful fierce beast invading the tribe or a gigantic fireball suddenly descending upon the valley; how wonderful and lively that would be.
Then, it could follow Yi Chen out for some fun.
“Oh, poor little thing, you’re going to be disappointed.”
Bai Ruo Xin wrapped the Little Gold Ball in her divine consciousness, controlling it to fly into her delicate hand, kneading it like dough.
It was clear she noticed the Little Gold Ball was expecting her to bring news that would allow Yi Chen to go out.
The Little Gold Ball immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, completely powerless, allowing Bai Ruo Xin to squeeze it without any reaction.
Bai Ruo Xin looked up at Yi Chen, who was still constructing law seals, and said,
“From the Northern Army, they sent two second-grade spirit materials, saying they tested it and found it can reduce impurities in the meridians for a period of time, allowing spirit power to flow more smoothly.”
“Bring them over for me to see!”
Yi Chen’s eyes brightened.
Had he finally discovered a treasure?
“They are already here.”
Bai Ruo Xin took out a jade box for spirit materials from her storage ring.
She opened the jade box.
Inside lay two vibrant, bright green little plants.
“Because they can still grow, the roots were not dug up together.”
Without needing Yi Chen to ask, Bai Ruo Xin added, “This type of spirit material grows in a special area, and there are a total of sixty-five plants, including the two that are left with only their roots.”
Yi Chen immediately ceased channeling spirit power, letting the unfinished law seals vanish.
He waved his hand.
The jade box for spirit materials floated in front of him.
His divine consciousness permeated inside.
Sure enough, he tested the same characteristics with these two spirit materials as with those from the Northern Army.
“Notify the Northern Army to send people to guard this area. Also, inform the Political Council to send someone to build a garden to see if we can collect seeds for planting,” Yi Chen instructed. “Lastly, get ready with the spirit materials that have already been collected; wait for my notice.”
“Okay!”
Bai Ruo Xin nodded and casually tossed the Little Gold Ball, which looked lifeless and disheartened, onto the bed.
She turned and left the stone house to arrange the tasks Yi Chen had assigned.
Yi Chen pondered for a moment, then sat cross-legged, preparing to study and create the potion making technique.
Creeeak…
Beside him, the Little Gold Ball let out a soft chirp.
It aimed to remind Yi Chen that it wasn’t really lifeless; it was just pretending to be pitiful.
It sought affection and wanted to go outside.
“I haven’t forbidden you from going out!”
Yi Chen chuckled with a hint of embarrassment.
Creeeak…
The Little Gold Ball looked wronged and gestured with its tiny arms.
Yi Chen’s spirit power was the source of its growth.
His presence made it feel safe and comfortable.
No matter how lively and interesting it was outside, going out alone was not fun.
“Fine, I’ll take you to hunt fierce beasts sometime. Just don’t bother me for now.”
Yi Chen initially did not want to pay attention.
But for some inexplicable reason, he softened a bit.
He resolved in his heart that even if there were tremendous benefits in the future, he would never adopt a second pet.
After spending so much time together, with his personality, he simply found it hard to say no.
Fortunately, the four armies had accumulated many fierce beasts that couldn’t be killed.
Making a trip wouldn’t be a waste of time.
Creeeak…
The Little Gold Ball was ecstatic and nodded vigorously.
It immediately pulled out a tuft of golden fur, obediently and quietly counting the strands on the side.
Yi Chen then closed his eyes slightly and began to study the potion making technique.
With this batch of spirit materials, he could easily brew a batch of low-grade spirit pills that would significantly increase the training speed of ordinary tribespeople.
Having already created the weapon refining technique, the potion making technique was relatively much easier.
He just needed to make some adjustments and improvements based on the weapon refining technique to make the flames more suitable for brewing spirit pills.
With his astonishing talent, he made rapid progress and could master it in just a few days.
