Chapter 315
The next day.
Chen He, the chief elder of the Fire Ant Tribe, suffered a back injury and no medicine could help.
The pharmacist in the tribe had not arrived yet, so he died suddenly that night.
Lie Yong was silent for a long time after receiving the news.
Lie Zhao said in a deep voice, "Father, why do you want to..."
After a long while, Lie Yong said calmly, "Someone has to go first. If he goes first, it will not affect your future path."
Lie Zhao also fell silent after hearing this.
Chen He was his father's confidant. When he was a child, he encountered danger several times and was saved by Chen He.
Now it is equivalent to sending Chen He off with his own hands.
"I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me..." Lie Yong waved his hand and returned to the bed.
Another day passed.
Lie Yong, the 35th chief of the Fire Ant Tribe, died suddenly in his sleep.
He was 121 years old.
As a golden superior insect master, his life span was not long.
Obviously, the fight with the chief of the Flying Ant Tribe had seriously injured his vitality and indeed reduced his life span by many years.
The Fire Ant Tribe held a grand funeral for Lie Yong.
And placed Lie Yong's spirit tablet at the highest point of the tribe's ancestral hall.
The thirty-four tribe leaders before Lie Yong failed to promote a small tribe to a medium-sized tribe.
He did it.
He deserves this honor.
Shortly after Lie Yong's death, Lie Yong's eighth son Lie Zhao inherited the position of tribe leader according to his will.
He is the thirty-sixth tribe leader of the Fire Ant Tribe.
...
Chu Xuan looked at this new host, and suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart.
Lie Yong is dead.
If he had been given a few more decades of life, he might have been able to flatten the Holy Ant Tribe.
What a pity, what a pity.
"This Lie Zhao is a bit indecisive. I wonder if he can bear the legacy of Lie Yong."
"And he is too young. The method of increasing longevity is not very attractive to him."
Chu Xuan couldn't help but frown.
After observing Lie Zhao for a few days, he found that Lie Zhao was not comparable to Lie Yong.
However, now we can only see his indecisive character.
If Lie Zhao is a master who only cares about the status quo, it will be even more difficult.
What he needs is a host who is brave enough to explore.
It doesn't matter if he dies halfway through his business.
The worst that can happen is that the mirror fragments will be obtained by the next host.
It's better than being thrown into the warehouse by a master who only cares about the status quo.
"Now that Lie Zhao is the new patriarch, everything needs to be taken over again, and there will definitely be no opportunities for external expansion."
"I guess I don't need to care about him in the next few years. Let's go back to Cang Xuan."
Chu Xuan retracted his attention, took a step, and returned to his cave on Wuji Island.
...
Wuji Island, Feiyu Lake.
In a small pavilion built of red wood and blue bricks by the lake.
Chu Xuan and Shang Xingchen sat opposite each other and drank spiritual tea.
Chu Xuan smiled, "This bitter hair peak was planted by me personally. It is bitter but sweet, and has an endless aftertaste."
Shang Xingchen glanced at the boiling tea and was about to take a sip when he frowned slightly.
"This poison is not in the tea, but on the wall of the cup."
"The sect master's method of poisoning is innovative."
Chu Xuan smiled, "Elder Shang is also like this. The poison powder actually spreads with the help of the steam emitted by this small red clay stove of mine, and completely permeates the surrounding area of three feet."
"After a careful sniff, it can actually be used to arouse love. Could it be that Elder Shang wants to see me make a fool of myself?"
Shang Xingchen smiled slightly, "How dare I, it's just a poison that Shang recently refined, so I just want to take it out and try it out."
"The sect master's poison technique is superb, so I'm sorry for my little trick."
The two of them chuckled and raised their teacups to take a sip.
After practicing on the Blue Sea Star some time ago, Chu Xuan's Qi Refining Realm has reached the sixth level of the Nascent Soul, and the Body Refining Realm has also reached the thirty-sixth level.
He thought he was strong, but with his own means, he could deal with three or four cultivators of the same realm at the same time.
If the Ghost King and the Corpse King were added, there would be more Nascent Soul cultivators that could be dealt with at the same time.
But every time he faced Shang Xingchen, he could always smell a hint of threat from him.
If he was not absolutely sure, he would not attack casually.
He could see that Shang Xingchen was also such a person.
"Elder Shang has a wide network of connections, so you know how serious the war between the Divine Sect and the Divine Religion is now."
Chu Xuan took a sip of bitter Maofeng and suddenly asked.
Shang Xingchen said calmly, "The Divine Sect took over the Cangxuan Star, and the Divine Religion took over the Tianhui Star through internal and external cooperation."
"I don't know about the fight between the two sides in the battlefield outside the domain. That was a contest between the great cultivators of the God Transformation Realm."
"However, I saw that the Tiandu Blood Alliance lowered its flag to half-mast, so it should be that a great cultivator of the God Transformation Realm of the Tiandu Blood Alliance fell."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
There are several people from the Tiandu Blood Alliance stationed on Cangxuan Star, and they would hang the blood dragon flag of the Tiandu Blood Alliance every day.
The flag was lowered to half-mast, and it was naturally in his eyes.
Chu Xuan smiled, "I already know all this. Elder Shang treats me as an outsider and is unwilling to say something that I don't know?"
Shang Xingchen thought for a while, and then said, "The battle between the Hantian Divine Sect and the Samsara Divine Sect is intense, and the resource consumption must be huge."
"Alliance Master Luo mentioned to me that the Divine Sect should soon collect various resources."
"Pills and talismans must be the most scarce."
"This is a great opportunity to exchange for the contribution of the sect."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
This is indeed true.
During the monk war, pills and talismans are first-class consumables, and no one will complain about having too much.
"It just so happens that my level in the sea blue star and soul star formations is not quite up to par."
"Take this opportunity to update and iterate all the formations into the Nascent Soul stage."
Henry Chu secretly wrote down this matter.
"Elder Shang thinks that Cangxuan Star is in danger of being affected by the war?" he suddenly asked.
Shang Xingchen nodded, "No cultivation star can be alone, unless Shenzong always has the upper hand."
"But judging from the current anxious war situation, sooner or later we will also be involved in the war."
Henry Chu frowned, "I have been walking around the sect in the past few days and found that the disciples are a little slack in their cultivation. This is not a good thing."
Shang Xingchen said, "Indeed."
"I think a reward system can be set up."
"Those who improve their realm quickly should be rewarded. This will stimulate their fighting spirit in cultivation."
Chu Xuan nodded in agreement, "Elder Shang's words make sense."
Shang Xingchen continued, "I have drafted a method, but it is still being drafted. The sect leader may wish to listen to it."
Henry Chu, “I’m all ears.”
Shang Xingchen, "If the golden elixir cultivator improves to a small level within twenty years, I will give you a great barrier-breaking elixir and a bottle of blood marrow."
"Foundation-building monk, if he improves a small level within ten years, he will be given a small barrier-breaking pill and a bottle of large blood beads."
"Qi refining monk, if he improves a small level within a year, he will be given a bottle of blood beads."
"What does the sect leader mean?"
Barrier-breaking pills are pills that monks use to forcefully break through realm bottlenecks. They are very expensive.
It also needs to be used in conjunction with heavenly materials and earthly treasures that contain a large amount of spiritual energy.
It is difficult for ordinary monks to obtain it.
This kind of reward system will indeed slightly stimulate the monks' ambition.
However, it's not enough.
Henry Chu nodded, "It's a good strategy, but I would like to make some modifications."
