chapter 465: development

he qing left behind a qi cultivation cultivator in this village and, with the remaining six individuals, proceeded to the next village.

after arranging affairs in these seven villages under his responsibility, he chose to reside in one of them.

subsequently, they began cultivating the nearby fields with the mortals. over the years, the land had fallen into disuse due to the uncertainty in people's hearts.

in any case, they needed to find a way to sustain themselves first.

they then sought out a place where spirit qi wasn't too sparse, ground some spirit stones into powder, sprinkled it on the land, and planted some spiritual herbs they had brought along.

these spiritual herbs were used as auxiliary medicinal herbs for refining a simplified version of the essence core pill, not particularly precious, but they were still spiritual herbs that required spirit qi to grow.

once these spiritual herbs grew, they would complement their hunting of demonic beasts and the refinement of essence core pills, eventually achieving self-sufficiency.

while cultivating the fields, he qing selected the young and able-bodied villagers to organize hunting parties.

given the villagers' current strength, they could only hunt ordinary wild beasts, but it would also serve to train their combat abilities.

therefore, the accompanying cultivators didn't intervene unless the villagers were in danger and needed rescuing.

the main reason the villagers of chashan town had managed to survive on their own until now was the scarcity of spirit qi in the vicinity, deterring powerful demonic beast groups from coming here.

as a result, the number of surrounding demonic beasts was relatively low, with only occasional incursions by low-tier demonic beasts.

the occasional one or two low-tier demonic beasts that appeared were all dispatched by he qing and his team, providing additional sustenance.

after three months of effort, the village's demon-hunting tree finally yielded its first batch of seeds. although there was only one seed, it was a good start.

the resident alchemist divided this single seed into five parts and refined five furnaces of essence core pills.

in the end, twenty-three pills were produced and distributed to the twenty-three hunters in the village.

the increase in their strength made them much more formidable during hunting, and their success rate in hunting wild beasts improved.
