Chapter 455: The Second Phase Plan
At Yunxia Mountain, within a council chamber, Wang Hong and a group of his subordinates gathered.
"Xu Lun, how are the demon-hunting trees distributed around Yunxia Mountain progressing?" Wang Hong inquired, taking the lead.
"Reporting, East Master, everything is going smoothly. Now, the villagers can occasionally hunt and kill low-tier Demonic Beasts themselves," Xu Lun replied.
This plan had begun several years ago when Wang Hong provided a demon-hunting tree to each village settled around Yunxia Mountain. Villagers started hunting wild beasts to feed the demon-hunting trees. While the essence blood from these beasts was minimal, over ti, it occasionally yielded seeds.
The villagers could exchange the harvested demon-hunting tree seeds for simplified Essence Core Pills at Yunxia Mountain. With ti and accumulation, the villagers' strength steadily increased.
From initially being able to hunt wild animals, they progressed to hunting ferocious beasts. Now, the villagers had even learned to set traps and collectively eliminate solitary small Demonic Beasts.
Everything around Yunxia Mountain was an experintal endeavor orchestrated by Wang Hong, testing the feasibility of such an approach.
In reality, after the previous upheaval, these Mortals all harbored the desire to strengthen themselves, ensuring they wouldn't beco prey to Demonic Beasts if they lost the protection of Immortal Masters.
Previously, they had the desire to beco stronger but lacked the ans. Now, Wang Hong had given them an opportunity to do so, and they cherished it greatly.
At the beginning, they often went hungry, with ten or more people putting in trendous effort to catch a single wild beast. When they finally had prey in hand, instead of taking a piece of at ho to satisfy their children's hunger, they prioritized feeding it to the demon-hunting trees.
Finally, their efforts bore fruit, and they all possessed strength far beyond ordinary Mortals.
"Excellent! The trial of the first-tier stage has concluded successfully. Now, let's proceed to the second phase. Luo Zhongjie, you will be responsible for executing this second-phase plan," Wang Hong expressed his satisfaction with the previous plan.
"East Master! What is this second-phase plan, and how should I go about it?" Luo Zhongjie asked inquisitively.
"These Mortals have consud Essence Core Pills, and while their strength is greater than ordinary Mortals, they lack knowledge of true combat techniques and cannot fully unleash their potential. Your East Zhou combat team excels in various aspects of combat training. You will dispatch mbers of the East Zhou combat team to each village, gather the young and strong individuals, and conduct intensive training while teaching them the art of combat. Each village must have a well-trained squad in the future," Wang Hong explained.
Upon hearing Wang Hong's arrangent, everyone in the room displayed excitent on their faces. If a team were established in every village around Yunxia Mountain, the cumulative numbers would be substantial. This essentially added an additional layer of protection around Yunxia Mountain.
However, as Wang Hong referred to this as the second phase, speculation arose among the group. Were there third and fourth phases to co? What could these future plans entail?
Just as they pondered, Wang Hong continued, "Hu Jian, how is the training progressing for the over a thousand miscellaneous troops under your command?"
When Wang Hong ford the two combat teams, over a thousand individuals were left under Hu Jian's supervision.
"Reporting, East Master, they have all been trained and are ready for deploynt at any ti," Hu Jian replied.
Hu Jian had previously received orders to ensure that all his subordinates learned how to refine a simplified version of the Essence Core Pill and so basic techniques for making Spirit als. He wasn't sure why Wang Hong had made this arrangent, but he was simply following orders.
"Very well, I will have further use for you all."
"Also, Xu Lun, I need the mining operations to speed up around the veins. We may require a large quantity of spirit ore in the future. Additionally, I will need to leave for a while during this period. Handle your affairs, and in case of an ergency, you can contact
at this address."
Wang Hong explained and produced a map, marking a location on it.
"This is a branch of the Immortal Way Trading Company. If you need to send ssages to , you can use them as interdiaries for a certain fee."
Upon hearing Wang Hong's explanation, the people present expressed their amazent.
"I can't believe that even in the Cultivation World's current state, the Immortal Way Trading Company still stands strong!"
"Yes, only a force of this magnitude could possess so many high-tier Spiritual Objects."
Wang Hong paid no attention to their astonishnt and dismissed the eting.
Recently, he had received information from Liu Changsheng. It was said that after the Yao Clan took control of the six major Sects, the affiliated cities of the original six major Sects were preserved, and they were now inhabited by a large number of Demonic Beasts. These cities still had shops and markets, just like before.
He wanted to visit and conduct so trade, especially for Spirit Stones, as he urgently needed them to prevent his Space from shrinking further.
Wang Hong made preparations and then rode Little Peng as he prepared to leave Yunxia Mountain. Shortly after taking flight, Little Peng turned around and bellowed, "Stay ho and lay eggs properly. When I return, we'll have a feast."
The Rainbow Mountain Chicken he had captured earlier was left on Yunxia Mountain, and it could co in handy if other Demonic Beasts showed up.
He found the egg-laying mountain chicken quite useful and was glad he hadn't killed it for at.
Little Peng felt quite majestic after his roar and then flew away with Wang Hong.
After encountering so hardships along the way, they finally arrived near the original Taihao City. Once again, Wang Hong transford into a green-colored Demonic Beast and entered Taihao City without any hindrance.
The city was the sa, but it had changed hands. Due to the generally larger size of the Yao Clan, most of the original city's buildings had been demolished and replaced with taller, more rugged structures.
Besides Demonic Beasts, there were also many humans in the city, all of whom had been enslaved by the Yao Clan. Seeing so many humans eased his worries to so extent; at least, it wouldn't be as easy to expose his identity.
Wang Hong noticed that most of the shops along the streets were actually operated by humans. However, this made sense when he thought about it. Most Demonic Beasts needed to reach a certain Realm before gaining sentience. Running a business required a large workforce, and it was not feasible to use those unintelligent low-tier Demonic Beasts, let alone have third-tier Demonic Beasts doing the nial work.
Even if third-tier Demonic Beasts were involved in managent, they could suffer significant losses if they encountered beasts like the Red-Haired Demon Bull. At such tis, humans with sentience and lower strength beca the preferred choice.
As Wang Hong observed that the shops along the way seed quite lively, he casually entered one.
"Welco, my lords!"
As soon as he entered, a shop assistant imdiately ca forward.
"Feel free to look around; I'm just browsing," Wang Hong dismissed the assistant and decided to explore the shop on his own.
