Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

Han Muye and Mu Wan did not really travel alone. Instead, a large group of people headed to the Central Continent together.

After visiting Xiao Yueli and Gao Changgong, Han Muye and the other two followed the Xiao family’s caravan to the Central Continent.

“Young Master Mu, just ahead of us is the Shao Yuan Ridge. It used to be the base of the Green Tiger Clan. Now it’s managed by some of the remaining tigers and some humans who moved south.”

!!

The leader of the caravan, Xiao Chu, was an elder of the Xiao family and Xiao Yueli’s uncle.

Of course, compared to Xiao Yueli, Xiao Chu’s status was much lower. He had to lead the caravan to the Central Continent and the Southern Wasteland to accumulate wealth for the family.

War had always been accompanied by wealth.

Be it the Xiao family, Qian Yiming’s family, or the caravan fleets, they had all made a fortune in the ongoing wars between the Southern Wasteland and the Central Continent.

From the migration of humans to the convergence of all kinds of goods, everything else was ill-gotten gain, aside from the military funds that they did not dare to touch.

Xiao Chu whispered to Han Muye and Mu Wan about the produce of Shao Yuan Ridge, where they were about to go. Many people in the caravans behind him looked at Han Muye with indignant expressions.

Han Muye’s alias was Mu Ye. He was a beginner alchemist and Mu Wan was his junior sister.

The reason why they traveled with the caravan was because Mu Ye was Gao Changgong’s distant relative.

Gao Changgong actually brought along his family’s Miss and they got together for no reason.

It was said that the elders of the Xiao family in the Imperial City were very unhappy about this matter.

However, Xiao Yueli was now in the army. Even if those Xiao family elders had some guts, they would not dare to cause trouble for the army.

Anyway, the clan had said that if Gao Changgong returned to the Central Continent with Xiao Xueli, they would teach him a lesson.

Gao Changgong was a ruthless person. He was holed up in the army, making those unhappy Xiao family members exasperated.

Now that they saw Gao Changgong’s distant relative, they hated him to the core, which showed in their eyes.

But naturally, Xiao Chu, Xiao Yueli’s uncle who got his power and status from Xiao Yueli, was not like those ordinary disciples. Instead, he was very attentive to Han Muye.

The Mystic Sun Guards and the Red Flame Army had occupied nearly half of the Southern Wasteland. Most of the various clans in the Southern Wasteland had retreated.

This was because Qian Yiming had used the condition of not fighting for 10 years in exchange for the opportunity to enter the Ten Thousand Demons Secret Realm. After he left the secret realm, he indeed did not lead an army to fight again.

In the past three years, a large number of humans had migrated to the Central Continent. On the other hand, the various demon clans under their rule had been divided and undergone various Confucian teachings.

On the other side, the demons were much more relaxed.

The Heavenly Fox returned, only appearing to appease the various clans before disappearing.

Some of the demon races began to move to the Western Frontier, while others defended their own clans.

The returning elites grew rapidly, greatly increasing the strength of their clans.

This was the demon race. Their bloodlines and habits were all different. It was impossible for them to really be united.

Even the demons of the Desolate Wilderness could not do it, let alone a place like the Southern Wasteland.

Once the 10-year period was up, the war would start again. Perhaps the Southern Wasteland would really fall.

As for whether Qian Yiming would wage war against the Western Frontier, that would depend on whether he had the guts.

Han Muye was looking forward to it.

After crossing the mountain ridge, the village in front of them appeared.

There were straw sheds surrounded by wooden houses and houses made of soil and stone.

Most of the demons in the Southern Wasteland were not particular about their food, clothing, and transportation. This was a huge contrast to the opulent Central Continent.

As the caravan fleet moved forward, a few figures rushed over from the village.

The leader was an old student in his fifties who was dressed in a scholarly robe. There was also a tall and strong member of the Green Tiger Clan with stripes on his head and face.

The Green Tiger Clan’s bloodline was considered powerful. Newborn clansmen already had the power to cultivate their essence.

However, such a bloodline inheritance was difficult and the clan was not big.

It was also because of this that the Green Tiger Clan here chose to stay in Shao Yuan Ridge when the other large clans were defeated.

Qian Yiming’s army did not exterminate the demons of the Southern Wasteland. Most of them were stationed there.

However, the Central Continent would arrange for many humans to migrate and live with these clans.

With the Confucian teachings, these clans would also be assimilated after a few hundred years.

The old student who came to welcome the caravan fleet was called Zhou Pu. He had wasted half his life in the Central Continent and was only a student. He responded to the dynasty’s call and led some villagers to the Southern Wasteland to be the guardian of the clan.

He could be considered to have some authority and could condense the People’s Will.

This was the reason why many Confucianist cultivators of the Central Continent were willing to come to the Southern Wasteland.

“Shopkeeper Xiao, the spiritual herbs you want have been prepared. Please take a rest in the village.”

Zhou Pu cupped his hands and smiled.

The tiger man beside him also cupped his hands and remained silent.

There were a total of more than 100 people in the caravan fleet. Other than Han Muye and Mu Wan, there were also seven or eight juniors of the Xiao family who were in training. The rest were staff and guards.

Half of the large caravans dragged by more than 40 spiritual steeds were already full.

It wasn’t just the Xiao family’s caravans. Most of the other caravans were the same.

Unless it was a real treasure that required a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to carry it with him, the rest of the ordinary goods would be transported by caravans.

This way, he could train his juniors and slowly gather connections.

There seemed to be a lot of goods in the caravans, but they were not really valuable treasures. They were not enough to compensate for engaging a Heaven Realm cultivator.

Unless the Han Family Trading Company was transporting precious medicinal pills, they typically used large caravan fleets.

Xiao Chu did not reject Zhou Pu’s invitation and led the caravans to set up camp outside the village.

Zhou Pu and the others invited Xiao Chu and a group of Xiao family disciples to a banquet. Xiao Chu invited Han Muye and Mu Wan to go together, but they did not go.

The two of them carried bamboo baskets and herb hoes on their backs. Under the guidance of a few Green Fox clansmen, they went up the mountain to look for herbs.

The Tiger Source Grass was abundant in the Green Tiger Clan’s base. It was very old and had rich medicinal power. It could be used as a supplement to several grade seven pills.

The main reason why the caravan group came to Shao Yuan Ridge was to buy Tiger Source Grass.

In the Southern Wasteland, 10 stalks of these spiritual herbs could only be exchanged for one spiritual rock. In the Central Continent, each stalk could be exchanged for more than one spiritual rock.

Every time the Xiao family’s caravan fleet came, they would collect tens of thousands of Tiger Source Grass.

This was also the main source of income for the Green Tiger Clan on Shao Yuan Ridge.

Otherwise, the clans here would not be so polite to the caravan fleet.

Han Muye and Mu Wan carried the bamboo baskets and walked 10 miles away. There was a lot of Tiger Source Grass in the forest.

However, most of them were relatively young and did not have enough medicinal power.

“Eh, this one is not bad. It has 20 years of medicinal power.” Han Muye looked at a spiritual herb with four leaves and eight petals on a stone cliff in front of him and smiled.

He picked up the herb hoe and tapped gently.

“Boom!”

The half-foot-tall stone cliff shattered.

The herb naturally shattered as well.

Han Muye opened his mouth and smiled wryly.

Mu Wan laughed out loud.

“Senior Brother Han, I’m here to pick herbs. Help me carry the herb basket.”

Handing the medicine basket on her back to Han Muye, Mu Wan took a few steps forward and dug up another lush Tiger Source Grass.

As the two of them walked, Mu Wan bent down to pick herbs from time to time.

“This one is 60 years old. It can be exchanged for 300 spiritual rocks in the Central Continent.”

“Wow, a hundred-year-old Tiger Source Grass. We’re rich. Be careful, be careful. Don’t break the leaves. This is worth 2,000 spiritual rocks.”

Looking at the happy Mu Wan, Han Muye smiled.

Mu Wan could now casually refine a cauldron of medicinal pills to exchange for hundreds of thousands of spiritual rocks. These Tiger Source Grass were really nothing to her.

However, at this moment, in Han Muye’s eyes, Mu Wan still looked like she had been refining pills in the medical hall on the Nine Mystic Mountain to exchange for spiritual rocks.

Little money-grubber.

After crossing a hill, the two of them stopped.

There were two figures on the hill ahead.

The two of them were talking in low voices and did not notice Han Muye and Mu Wan’s arrival.

“Cui Cui, if your grandfather and the rest really don’t agree to us being together, then forget it. I, I, will leave Shao Yuan Ridge in the future.”

The person who spoke was a young man from the Green Tiger Clan. He was tall and strong, and his face was simple and honest. There was a hint of disappointment on his face.

Beside him, a young girl in a light pink dress shook her head and glared at him. “Shao Datian, how dare you abandon me after having an affair? Why didn’t you say forget it when you rolled on the grass with me back then?”

Hearing the young girl’s words, the Tiger Clan youth called Shao Datian panicked and hurriedly said, “Cui Cui, I, how could I do that? I, I’m just afraid. They said that I’m a Tiger Clan member and you’re a human. We, we can’t…”

Before he could finish, Cui Cui reached out and grabbed Shao Datian’s collar. “Datian, let’s elope.”
