Dragon King Hall's Legend

Upon hearing the two prerequisites outlined by Mu Jinyu, Xia Ruochen's eyes gleamed, and he then chuckled, "Rest assured, Dragon Master. Our Great Xia Dragon Sparrow has already recruited over seven hundred cultivators with Wood Spirit Roots. As long as we slightly relax the criteria, we can gather up to a thousand people—it can still be achieved."

"As for the Qinling Dragon Vein, we've been preparing to conquer it recently, so it seems our plans coincide..."

Mu Jinyu was somewhat surprised at his words and asked, "Your Great Xia Dragon Sparrow already has over seven hundred cultivators with Wood Spirit Roots?"

It was indeed surprising to him, since in the Kunlun Ruins, cultivators with Spirit Roots were extremely rare.

Back when he first joined the Heavenly Sword Faction, it was because of his Wood Spirit Root that Sect Leader Xie Chenkun wanted to take him as a disciple.

Though the Heavenly Sword Faction was only one of the Four Great Sects in the Yan Kingdom, it couldn't be considered a major sect in the vast Kunlun Ruins, but this gave some perspective.

Moreover, in the Hidden Dragon Conference later on, he didn't see many cultivators with Spirit Roots.

Who would have thought that on Earth, where the cultivation environment was considerably poorer than the Kunlun Ruins, there would be over seven hundred cultivators with Wood Spirit Roots.

And this was just the personnel recruited by Great Xia Dragon Sparrow; the ones not recruited due to character issues were surely even more numerous.

Xia Ruochen nodded, "Indeed, we already have over seven hundred. Our Great Xia Dragon Sparrow has been following the plan you, Dragon Master, established, absorbing suitable new blood from various schools. Among them, cultivators with Wood Spirit Roots number over seven hundred, those with Fire Spirit Roots over five hundred, and those with Metal Spirit Roots over six hundred..."

"So many..." Mu Jinyu listened to Xia Ruochen's narrative, his eyes slightly unfocused as he murmured quietly.

The presence of so many cultivators with Spirit Roots on Earth made Mu Jinyu begin to question why there were so few such cultivators in the Kunlun Ruins.

Perhaps Earth is the complete world, whereas the Kunlun Ruins is merely a developed Minor World? Or perhaps it is a considerable Secret Realm? Although those living within have abundant spiritual energy, making it more suitable for cultivation, they are born imperfect?

Shaking his head slightly, Mu Jinyu knew this problem wasn't easy to deduce, so he temporarily suppressed it, nodding, "Alright, once you return, you can arrange for those cultivators with Fire Spirit Roots to come to me..."

"Dragon Master, is this..." Xia Ruochen questioned with slight curiosity upon hearing Mu Jinyu's statement.

After all, Mu Jinyu hadn't mentioned needing cultivators with Fire Spirit Roots just now, and now suddenly changing to require them couldn't help but surprise him.

Mu Jinyu replied, "I'm going to teach them Alchemy so that your Great Xia Dragon Sparrow can eventually be self-sufficient, without needing the Dragon King Hall to distribute elixirs to you."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ruochen was overjoyed and nodded, "Great, great, I'll have it arranged right away."

He instantly pulled out his phone and sent a few text messages, arranging for those five hundred cultivators with Fire Spirit Roots to head to the Dragon King Hall.

In the year since the establishment of Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, they have absorbed countless students into their ranks nationwide, growing very effectively, but the issue of scarce resources had become increasingly apparent.

Naturally, they had considered cultivating some Alchemists so they wouldn't always have to rely on the Dragon King Hall.

Unfortunately, like the various trash cultivation methods they collected before founding Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, they had no systematic Alchemy practices or Pill Formulas, making it difficult to cultivate any Alchemists.

Now Mu Jinyu spoke of helping them train Alchemists—Xia Ruochen couldn't help but be excited.

After making the arrangements, Xia Ruochen further discussed the specific plan with Mu Jinyu, then hurriedly departed.

He needed to organize people to prepare to conquer the Qinling Dragon Vein.

Otherwise, Mu Jinyu's plan would be difficult to implement.

Watching Xia Ruochen leave, Mu Jinyu whispered, "Since there are so many cultivators with Fire Spirit Roots, I don't need to continue worrying about refining the Essence Qi Pills next."

Initially when Mu Jinyu had the idea of nearly freely supplying Essence Qi Pills to billions of people across the country, he barely managed to figure out how to ensure the medicine fields continuously mature the spiritual medicines daily without constant supervision, then faced headaches about how to use those spiritual medicines to continue refining them into Essence Qi Pills.

After all, the Essence Qi Pill was a First Grade Elixir, even if it was the lowest tier First Grade Low Level Pill, but unlike the Beauty Pill, it couldn't be mechanically produced by assembly line.

This subsequent alchemy issue was giving him a headache, so he first called Xia Ruochen to handle the Wood Spirit Root cultivators and the Dragon Vein Land issue, before he planned to ponder seriously.

However, upon discovering Great Xia Dragon Sparrow already had so many cultivators with Fire Spirit Roots, he saved himself the trouble.

To become an Alchemist requires having a Spirit Root, ideally a Fire Spirit Root, followed by a Wood Spirit Root, then a Water Spirit Root or Earth Spirit Root, while the Metal Spirit Root is completely unsuitable.

And Mu Jinyu, possessing a Wood Spirit Root without a Fire Spirit Root, although performing impressively in alchemy currently, would eventually face a developmental limit compared to Fire Spirit Root geniuses in the later stage of the Alchemy Path due to lacking Fire Attribute principles in his True Yuan.

Therefore, Mu Jinyu only instructed Xia Ruochen to send cultivators with Fire Spirit Roots to learn alchemy techniques, and not those with other attributes.

Second-tier suitable Wood Spirit Root geniuses are meant to cultivate spiritual medicines.

"I wonder if these youths can handle the blessings of 007!"

Suddenly it occurred to Mu Jinyu that soon, these Wood Spirit Root geniuses in Great Xia Dragon Sparrow would spend all day in the medicine fields cultivating spiritual medicines, while the Fire Spirit Root geniuses would spend all day at the pill furnace refining elixirs. It made him chuckle.

Although it seemed he was dealing them a hard hand, in reality their future development and treatment would far exceed others.

Ultimately, as the first batch of Alchemists and Spirit Nurturers, once the number of cultivators with Spirit Roots increases, they won't have to work as arduously as in the early stage, and their status will grow increasingly prestigious.

Soon, by three o'clock in the afternoon.

Several dark green military transport trucks escorted over five hundred Fire Spirit Root geniuses to the foot of Yinlong Mountain.

After receiving Xia Ruochen's message, Mu Jinyu personally went out to greet them.

When he saw these people alighting from the transport trucks, standing somewhat timidly on the side, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Whoa, so many students?"

Scanning quickly, he noticed the group was very young with some two hundred or so likely university students around twenty years old.

There were also over two hundred high school and middle school students.

The remaining were clearly around elementary school age, surprisingly numbering over a hundred.

Mu Jinyu couldn't help wanting to say, middle school and high school students are fine, but what is Xia Ruochen playing at, sending even elementary school kids over?
