189: Chapter 189 Gains Another 700 Followers

After exiting the identity of a Bone Refining Realm Martial Artist from the Royal Capital, Chen Hu continued to draw cards.

He activated the Yuan Stone card and obtained 10 Low Grade Yuan Stones.

He activated the soul stone card and obtained 10 soul stones.

He activated the soldier card and obtained 100 Tier 2 infantrymen.

He activated the special Spirit Medicine card and obtained a Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng.

Although this Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng could not directly increase cultivation, it was a top-tier Spirit Medicine for Foundation Establishment in martial arts.

Ordinary people just start practicing martial arts directly.

However, when influential factions Cultivate their descendants, they choose to have them undergo Foundation Establishment first.

After completing Foundation Establishment, they then let them practice martial arts.

In this way, when they Cultivate, their progress will not only be fast, but their Foundation will also be incredibly solid and profound.

Unfortunately, this Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng was useless to Chen Hu.

After all, he did not have any children yet.

He activated the Spell card and obtained a Medium Grade Spell, Vine Technique.

Once this Spell is mastered, it can rapidly sprout a large number of tree vines in a very short time, which can be used to bind, restrain, and strangle enemies.

Next, Chen Hu took out the enlightenment card.

He locked it to the Swamp Spell and used it.

Suddenly, Chen Hu transformed into a child and arrived in a cultivation world.

After studying in this world for more than ten years.

He successfully mastered the Swamp Spell.

After being kicked out of that world, a vast amount of cultivation memories appeared in Chen Hu's mind, merging with his current memories.

Then, he perfectly mastered this Spell.

Next, he took out the martial arts cultivation card.

He silently chanted to activate it.

He obtained 100 days of cultivation.

After choosing to use it, the 100 days of cultivation surged directly toward his spleen.

It opened up acupuncture points at an extremely fast speed.

In a short while, 108 acupuncture points were opened up on Chen Hu's spleen.

Next, the essence Qi from the spleen surged out from the 108 acupuncture points and merged into his True Qi, making his True Qi even stronger.

The remaining cultivation transformed into invisible flames, beginning to temper his spleen.

Soon, the cultivation was completely exhausted.

It failed to temper the spleen to Perfection.

Chen Hu estimated that with at most 20 days of cultivation, he could completely temper his spleen once.

As long as the spleen is fully tempered, the Early Stage of Organ Refining can be considered to have reached Perfection.

The next moment.

The soul-nourishing wood appeared in Chen Hu's hand.

He took out a plate and a dagger.

He kept scraping the soul-nourishing wood with the dagger, and soon, a layer of wood powder fell into the plate.

Next, Chen Hu retrieved some sand, soil, and water, mixed them with the wood powder, and rolled it into an incense stick.

Then he dried it and lit it.

With wisps of blue smoke, a strange fragrance permeated the study.

He took out the cultivation multiplier card and activated it.

He obtained a tenfold cultivation effect.

Next, Chen Hu took out the bottle of Thousand-Year Earth Heart Milk, drank it, and began to circulate the Spirit Refining Art to Cultivate.

It must be said that the cultivation effect of this Thousand-Year Earth Heart Milk was even a notch better than the heaven soul grass.

An hour later.

When a stream of pure Soul Power fell into his Primordial Spirit, after digesting and absorbing it, his Primordial Spirit directly expanded by a circle.

"Not bad!"

Chen Hu was very satisfied. If he absorbed two more stalks of heaven soul grass to Cultivate, he should be able to reach the Late Stage of the Primordial Spirit.

Next, Chen Hu took out the animal card.

After silently chanting to activate it.

He obtained 500 pigs, each weighing 300 catties.

Chen Hu directly let them hibernate within the card space.

Then, he took out the animal upgrade card and locked it onto a cow in the hibernation space to use.

In an instant, the cow completed its transformation, becoming a Tier 1 exotic beast, and its weight reached 5000 catties.

Next, Chen Hu took out the soul weapon card and activated it.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a Medium Grade soul weapon, Soul Armor!"

With a thought, a set of black armor the size of a palm appeared in Chen Hu's hand.

The next moment, he swept it with his Spiritual Sense, and the Soul Armor was directly swept into his Sea of Consciousness and fitted onto his Primordial Spirit.

This Soul Armor was a defensive soul weapon that could resist damage targeting the Divine Soul.

"Let's stop here for today!"

Chen Hu stood up, walked out of the study, and came to the backyard.

He pushed open Liu Xiangyue's room and walked in.

The next morning.

After breakfast.

Chen Hu gathered all the women together.

Then he took out a bottle of qi and blood pill and stuffed it into Liu Xianglan's hand, and took out 8 bottles of essence blood pill to distribute among Qianxue, Qianyu, and the other six Maids.

He then took out three bottles of Medicinal Pills for the Flesh Refining Realm and distributed them to Ruyi, Zhizhi, and Maid.

He also took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills for the Tendon Refining Realm for Nangong Hongyan.

Then he took out Medicinal Pills for the Bone Refining Realm for Li Qian and Tan Yue.

"Wife, you are already in the Blood Refining Realm. I don't have any Medicinal Pills for the Blood Refining Realm for now, so I can only wrong you by having you Cultivate with Tier 5 exotic beast meat!"

While speaking, Chen Hu took out 10 catties of Tier 5 exotic beast meat and handed it to Liu Xiangyue.

After distributing the Medicinal Pills.

Chen Hu took General Zhao Zilong to the General Hall of the Fierce Tiger Gang.

He closed the office door.

He took out Wu Sheng's corpse and summoned the Heaven-Swallowing Vine.

After swallowing Wu Sheng's corpse, the Heaven-Swallowing Vine once again fell into hibernation.

Subsequently, Chen Hu began to handle official business.

After finishing the official business, Chen Hu went to the dungeon of the Fierce Tiger Gang.

He copied a Martial Skill from Jia Yan.

Although the Cultivation Technique he practiced was of Heavenly Grade, it was an evil Cultivation Technique.

He did not look favorably upon it.

He did not intend to copy it.

At the same time, the buildings on both sides of the Fierce Tiger Gang's General Hall had been leased, and craftsmen were already breaking down the walls.

"Gang Leader, why have you come in person?"

Seeing Chen Hu arrive at the Internal Affairs Hall, Hall Master Yang Siyou quickly stood up.

Although his position had not changed, his authority had increased significantly.

After all, the original Internal Affairs Hall was only responsible for the Fierce Tiger Gang; although it was still responsible for the Fierce Tiger Gang now, the Fierce Tiger Gang had expanded several times over.

"Clap!"

Chen Hu threw the key to the warehouse onto the table: "I have already arranged for people to store the grain in the warehouse. You immediately arrange for people to count it, and once the counting is finished, settle the accounts with me at 70% of the market price!"

"Yes, Gang Leader, this subordinate will go and arrange it immediately!"

"Wait!"

Chen Hu called him to stop, and with a wave of his hand, five boxes appeared.

"There are three boxes of qi and blood pill and two boxes of essence blood pill inside. Sell them to the members of the Gang at the previous price!"

"Yes, Gang Leader, this subordinate obeys!" Hall Master Yang Siyou said immediately.

Not long after Chen Hu returned to the office, Gao Hangzhou arrived.

"Sit!"

Chen Hu said.

"Thank you, Gang Leader!"

Gao Hangzhou said immediately: "Gang Leader, yesterday, according to your instructions, I went to recruit people from among the refugees. Currently, I have recruited five hundred adult Martial Artists and 200 children. Moreover, the Aptitude of these children has all reached the Profound Grade."

"So fast?" Chen Hu was a bit surprised.

"Sigh!"

Gao Hangzhou sighed: "Gang Leader, it's not that you haven't seen it, there are simply too many refugees outside, a full hundred thousand or more. In fact, it is not just us who are recruiting; the Five Great Families and other Gangs are also recruiting people."

Speaking of this, Gao Hangzhou hesitated: "Actually, Gang Leader, there are quite a lot of Skin Refining Martial Artists among the refugees. For these five hundred people, we recruited all of them at the Intermediate Stage of Skin Refining or above, and they all have wives and children.

If we open up recruitment, recruiting another three to five hundred would not be a problem at all!"

"Then continue recruiting!"

Chen Hu had raided the warehouses of eight manors of Mingjian Villa; there was plenty of grain. Moreover, every day through the ordinary grain card, he could draw hundreds of thousands of catties of grain.

He could support even tens of thousands of people.

Let alone recruiting a few hundred more people.

"Very well, Gang Leader. By the way, this is the roster of the people recruited yesterday. Please have a look!"

After Chen Hu roughly flipped through the two rosters.

Then he nodded: "Send the 200 children to the Reserve Hall, and distribute all 500 Skin Refining Martial Artists to the various halls, starting as ordinary members. However, you can give them 10 taels of silver as a settlement fee!"

After Gao Hangzhou left.

Chen Hu brought up the lottery interface.

After gaining 700 more people, the number of Chen Hu's underlings reached 5578.

He obtained 63 Elementary lotteries, 6 Intermediate lotteries, 1 Advanced lottery, and 7 gift packs.
