Chapter 200: Delaying the Spirit Gathering Formation
"Send people to the four armies. Give one Spirit Pill to each warrior at the Spirit Consciousness stage, and increase the number for the team leader, squad leader, and the chief in order."
After briefly explaining the effects of the Spirit Pill, Yi Chen handed all of them to Bai Ruo Xin.
Bai Ruo Xin nodded and was about to take action.
Just as she turned around, Yi Chen called her back.
He suddenly remembered that, according to the documents provided by the Intelligence Organization, the competition in the four armies seemed to be becoming increasingly fierce, with signs of catching up to the Political Council.
The root cause may be the increase in the number of warriors, leading to the establishment of the position of squad leader.
As the geniuses from the former Sacred Water Tribe began to break through to the Spirit Law stage, the four armies continued to expand.
Now, each army has reached over five hundred members.
Thus, they started to establish the position of squad leader.
However, there used to be dozens of team leaders.
In total, only five squad leaders were added, making it difficult for everyone to advance—there were fewer positions than applicants, and any team leader with ambition would compete for the role.
Even if a squad leader was chosen, they all aimed to pull them down and take their place.
Even the leaders of the four armies felt the impact.
Previously, the four leaders rarely made mistakes, or perhaps no one reported their errors.
But recently, the high priest responsible for promoting divine authority among the four armies has reported numerous mistakes made by the leaders in the documents submitted through the Political Council.
This alone is enough to show that the control of the four leaders over the four armies is constantly weakening.
Replacing them during this phase, when they cannot yet conquer the entire planet, is a good thing.
However, at this moment, whether the mistakes made by the four leaders are true or false, Yi Chen has no interest in reducing their power, let alone replacing them.
The stronger the control of the four leaders, the more unified the four armies will be under one supreme decision-maker, allowing them to gather and continue expanding quickly.
Thus, Yi Chen has always maintained a cold-handling attitude.
On the other hand, he has no time to help the four leaders solidify their positions.
It’s all up to their own abilities.
Except for Guli, the leader of the Eastern Army, whom he is determined to protect.
If the other three leaders cannot even deal with their own squad leaders and team leaders and are truly struggling, he can’t help them.
Right now, having refined a batch of Spirit Pills that only high-level combatants can qualify for might assist the four leaders.
"How about this? Give all the Spirit Pills to the leaders of the four armies and let them distribute them to those above the Spirit Consciousness stage."
Yi Chen changed his mind and decided to hand over the distribution rights of this batch of Spirit Pills directly to the four leaders.
By holding these Spirit Pills that allow geniuses at the Spirit Consciousness stage to quickly elevate their strength realms, the four leaders, no matter how inexperienced they are in power struggles, can ensure the stability of the four armies in the short term.
Bai Ruo Xin nodded.
"What happened to the former tribe leader of the Sacred Water Tribe?"
Yi Chen suddenly asked,
"War City?"
Bai Ruo Xin was a bit surprised. After recalling the related documents, she explained,
"Since War City joined the Flame Mountain Tribe, they have cut off all contact with the people of the Sacred Water Tribe to avoid suspicion. They found a position at a breeding farm to raise low-level fierce beasts."
"I wondered why your Intelligence Organization’s documents about the Sacred Water Tribe never mentioned War City," Yi Chen remarked, relieved.
The Intelligence Organization’s documents contained plenty of news about the Former Sacred Water Tribe.
Most of it focused on a group of Sacred Water Tribe members who united to form the Sacred Water Sect.
Both the Political Council and the four armies sought to rise in power.
Due to their insufficient strength realm, they hadn’t caused much stir in the four armies yet.
However, taking advantage of their large numbers, the Sacred Water Tribe members had already occupied many positions in the major branches and begun to shine.
Yet, Yi Chen had never seen any mention of War City in the documents regarding the former tribe leader of the Sacred Water Tribe.
He thought that the person had suffered a great defeat, lost confidence, and given up on himself.
It turned out he had only cut off all ties with the members of the Sacred Water Tribe out of fear of Yi Chen’s suspicion.
"Send someone to keep an eye on him and assess his abilities," Yi Chen instructed, waving his hand.
Everyone thought he was indifferent to the fallen War City leader, but in reality, War City’s various arrangements and responses during the Sacred Water Tribe battle left a deep impression on him.
In fact, due to the lack of outstanding performances among the leaders of the four armies, he even considered making War City the commander of the Military.
That’s why, after defeating War City, he turned and ignored this fallen leader, choosing not to inquire further.
He planned to leave him alone for a while to see his character before making any arrangements.
From the looks of it, things seemed quite good.
He had neither secretly incited the Sacred Water Tribe members nor completely succumbed to despair.
After further observation, if there are no issues, he might eventually send him to continue his assessment with the four armies.
Once Bai Ruo Xin returned after dealing with the Spirit Pills, Yi Chen began to refine the Spirit-Focusing Pill.
The Spirit-Focusing Pill helps calm the mind and stabilize the soul, providing significant assistance against heart tribulations.
It was only a fourth-grade spirit pill, and within four to five days, he successfully tested and improved the formula.
After half a day, he refined over five hundred of them, completing the task.
Body Cleansing Pills, Boundary-Breaking Pills, Spirit Pills, Spirit-Focusing Pills.
Altogether, he spent nearly two months to finally complete them.
Now, the remaining task was the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Yi Chen did not plan to create it all at once.
The Spirit Gathering Formation is a large project.
There are more than eighty law seals alone.
After subtracting some law seals that overlap with the defensive formation, about seventy still remain.
Though his talent bonus had improved since the time he created the defensive formation, the law seals created now are stronger as his understanding of the principles of heaven and earth deepened with his increased realm.
The time needed is almost the same.
This meant that just for the seventy law seals, it would take more than seven months to construct them.
Not to mention, to create the Spirit Gathering Formation, he needs to use flying treasures.
Only after discovering suitable Treasure Materials among the newly found spirit mines did he decide to create the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Crafting one flying treasure does not take much time.
However, there wouldn’t just be one Spirit Gathering Formation.
For the Flame Mountain Tribe, two large Spirit Gathering Formations would be sufficient: one in the valley and one in the Royal City.
But according to his plan, each of the four armies needs to have about ten Spirit Gathering Formations.
Moreover, for easier movement, the Spirit Gathering Formations set for the four armies should be arranged within flying treasures.
This means there would be over a hundred of both types of treasures.
Adding in the construction time for the formations, it would take nearly a year.
Naturally, Yi Chen wouldn’t spend all his time creating the Spirit Gathering Formation.
The Enhancement Pills, Body Cleansing Pills, Boundary-Breaking Pills, Spirit Pills, and Spirit-Focusing Pills can already provide ordinary tribe members and high-level combatants with rapid and significant boosts.
It’s fine if the Spirit Gathering Formation is completed a bit later.
He plans to divide his time, focusing on improving his realm while also creating the Spirit Gathering Formation.
