Chapter 111 - Rapid Changes
"They will begin training tomorrow and show me how he did what he did, or at least tell me the experience they had…"
"Watching up close is never the same thing as suffering it in person, and I want the first man perspective…" King Tian muttered before leaving the experts behind and leaving for his chambers…
"Worm, where have you been all this while keeping me waiting like that!?" The voice of an angry female greeted King Tian the moment he entered his private chambers;
"I'm sorry, your partner was sparring with my Guards and I went to check if I could learn a thing or two…" King Tian replied with an awkward smile as he began to undress;
"Hmph! I must punish you by teaching you a thing or two in here…"
The feminine voice spoke with anger which no one knows if was genuine or fake, but King Tian indeed rushed into his king sized bed with gusto as he came up on what seemed to be the girl that came along with those guys;
"Hmph! You are lucky that I simply have a thing for older men…"
"Back where I come from, it is an action of shame, but since they are not here, I want to enjoy myself to my heart's content…"
"It's been three years, and I am way at my edge…" The girl seemingly complained pitifully, as King Tian tried to appease;
"Don't worry my queen, you can have me for as long as you want now…" He said as the coy giggling of the girl and moans started resounding all over the chamber…
Meanwhile…
Back at the tribe…
Dara had just returned with his scout team and was stunned to find out that 70 percent of all the work they had planned before leaving [Pre-residential development] was already completed, and currently, the farm expansion was at its end…
The den and the fishery had also been expanded; Uncle Min was finally done with the vault and store, and was currently busy scouting the perfect area where the library and mini academy would be built…
Ji Wang was already done with the smithy, and all the needed materials were being shipped into the forgery as per Elder Smiths request and preference, and Ji Wang was already focusing on the three safes and chests with him trying to configure the most complicated lock which would have a single but easy to use unlocking system ever…
Aunt Lin was out with about fifty Obuns for protection and 30 new recruits as they expanded their search and scout area for new herbs, spices and other types of resources, poisonous ones included…
Ji Long however was currently with Ji Chen, and whilst Ji Chen was drilling the tribesmen and Obuns, Ji Long was currently teaching the people who escaped from the Qi Stone Farms a simple combat style; Brawling…
Since they already had cultivations, they didn't need to get physical training at the moment as the tribe needs strong military hands as soon as possible…
Furthermore, since their cultivation is at the Peak Qi Sea stage, now that they are free of their chains, the Qi in their body would naturally restructure and strengthen all their malnourished body parts making them easily achieve the same level of body strength as the others who were currently undergoing rigorous drilling, albeit in less than 1/100 of the time…
Dara entered and found Ji Chen who was currently overseeing the tribesmen and kids who were sweating profusely as they were currently standing still in odd angles with only the tip of their toes on the ground and every other body parts in the air and at several unique postures;
He told Ji Chen to gather all of them at the tribe square which was located some distance off the tribe gates…
Then he went to check up on Elder Smith and the first thing that welcomed him the moment he reached the entrance was the intense heat wave, and though, it was nothing compared to the one he just felt at the cave entrance a while ago;
It was still considerable hot for anyone who had not begun to cultivate, and even Elder Smith who had opened some meridians was currently wet with sweat like someone just pushed him into a river a while ago…
But he was still all about his work though, creating steel bars which would be used to restructure the new tribe...
Furthermore, there were already about a dozen steel bars which were arranged just outside the forge so as to cool down whilst some of the escaped experts were just carrying a bucket load of molten metal out of the kiln;
Then right there in front of Dara, Elder Smith walked up to the bowl and poured some glittery dust which he had heard was from the ores they managed to scavenge on their return to the Village of Sang…
He mixed the new solution and had the people poured into the three slab holes on the ground, whilst another set of hands picked up a water soaked wooden log, about the same size as the slab holes and placed it on it, an action which was followed by a '~Tisssshhh~' sound,
But even though the wood should have been set ablaze, it was just so soaked with water, that it was unable to do so, and the only thing that happened was hot steam billowing out of the wood which added to the humidity in the air and finally explained why the workers and Elder Smith were soaking wet…
He looked up to the ceiling and realized the problem, there was simply not enough ventilation, and as a result he went looking for Ji Wang whom he found after asking several people who were all busy with one thing or the other;
"Hey Ji Wang…"
"Eh?" Ji Wang was initially wondering who snapped him out of his thoughts, but was then surprised that it was Dara;
"You're back…" He responded with a grin;
"Yeah, I just returned from the forge and I noticed everyone was all wet and sweat with hot steam, and I think that would be really bad for their health on the long run..."
"So I thought I would ask you for a way to increase the overhead ventilation, since all the walls are already taken up by weapon racks…" Dara said…
