45 Planning For Future (3)
"Chief! Chief!" a militia came into the building to report, thoroughly breaking up the tense atmosphere inside.
"Speak. What's wrong?" Yelu-En ordered the militia to continue.
"The Namu Settlement sent a representative here. Because the chief is at a meeting, we represent you to receive him." the militia started.
"And then?" Yelu-En had lost his temper a while earlier and did not have the patience to listen to his word one by one.
"He said the Namu Settlement are willing to become the Yelu Settlement's vessel in this Chang Emperor Prairie! All we need is to assist them in destroying the Mu's Settlement!" the militia ends his sentence with a big bomb.
"What?" this news shocked the burly male and the middle-aged man. As the representative from the Jinjiang Village, both know that the person in charge of Namu Settlement is Mister Zizzi, their big brother!
If Namu Settlement is here to ask for help, does that means Mister Zizzi failed to accomplish his mission? And what's wrong with the Mu's Settlement? Why would they willing to be absorbed for the sake of destroying this settlement?
"Mu's Settlement? It's that settlement again???" Yelu-En get angrier as he listened to the report.
"Chief Yelu, about our discussion..." the two cultivators know that it is impossible to recall their militias now.
"Did you not hear that? This is the crucial period for the Yelu Settlement. Once we absorb the people from Namu and destroys the Mu's Settlement, you'll have your militia back."
"Additionally, I'll let half of the people we captured from the Mu's Settlement to leave with your militias. What you think?" one has to say that Yelu-En's proposal is indeed attractive. Who will reject such an offer especially the rewards can help their village to grow?
"Chief Yelu, we'll let our militia to accompany yours then. I hope for your victorious cry a settlement away!" the two cultivators decided to concede in this fight of words. After they retreat, the representative from Namu Settlement came in.

Day Thirty-Four.
If there was no obstacle in their journey, Han Xi has most probably found the spot to start working on. With the Yunxia Bamboo as their first priority, it should be planted by now.
Although there's a ten day of waiting needed from today, their harvest for the first batch is going to be an expected 400 bamboos, eight times more than what they're harvesting in their current field at the moment.
Today, they harvested the third batch of Yunxia Bamboos planted ten days before, and finally, have enough resources to complete the building of their first Relay and Storehouse. With five fields of Mingwen Soybean Plant as their growable food supplies, the location is capable of producing 45kg worth of soybeans once every seven days.
As for their current settlement, where Mu Qing Lang will name it as the "Eastern Changzhou Farm" in the future, they harvested the first batch of 10,000 stalks of Xian-Ren Grass, the usual number of Demonic Juniper Fruits, Amber Roots, and Prairie Sugar Roots.
Except for the harvest, there's something else to be concerned about.
Fifty young orcs evolved this time. At the moment, there are a total of 245 orcs in total, with only Tiezu-Wu and Tiezu-Gu evolved into High-Orcs. As for the new Iron Skin Piglets, about two hundred of them is born this time.
Looking at their large numbers, Mu Qing Lang came out with a new suggestion. With so many Xian-Ren Grass in hand, he brought up about this news to both Guan Yi, the Ashen Wolf King, and Tiezu-Wu.
Mu Qing Lang will invest in the production of Recovery Ointments. This batch of products will be issued to both the orcs and goblins. In total, they will be provided with seven days worth of Recovery Ointment, all for the aim to enhance their evolution growth.
In total, the cost of Recovery Ointment is 380 bottles per day. Seven days means Mu Qing Lang will have to concoct a total of 2,660 bottles, equivalent of 13,300 stalks of Xian-Ren Grass. Based on his current ability, crafting this total wasn't even counted as a challenge for him.
In the afternoon, he stayed inside the carriage to accomplish this mission.
The crafting process sent him to exhaustion twice, totaling up to six hours of sleep. When he wakes up, the time already at dinner period. Skipping his dinner this time, Mu Qing Lang entertained himself with a simple meal after he distributed the Recovery Ointment to the three leaders of their tribe.
Feeling exhausted from the inside, Mu Qing Lang headed to bed without feeling bothered with unfinished work.

"Our chief is going to reward us greatly for this!" Han Xi grabbed the others on their shoulder for what they found. The group of both human and orcs is staring at the patch of grasses with a single red fruit at the tip.
"Mo Yi, do you think we should bring this back to the chief immediately?" Han Xi checked with Mo Yi, the Lesser Mystic Behemoth. As the only satyr-tribe in the group, asking him for a decision can be said to be both respecting and open for discussion.
"No. We shouldn't disturb any of the plants for now. Instead, somebody should go back and inform out chief about this plant before we do anything with them." Mo Yi is afraid that their reckless action might destroy the plant due to improper handling.
"I support the decision. This plant might be as sensitive as the Amber Root Plant." Han Xi agreed with the suggestion to leave them aside until Mu Qing Lang made his appearance in this Eastern Changzhou City.
They continued with the works, without bothering about the day or night.
...
Day Thirty-Five.
It was another busy week once again. Except for the rush to harvest the Xian-Ren Grass, Amber Roots, Demonic Juniper Fruits, Prairie Sugar Roots, and Herbal-Cress, they also have to split some of them manpower to lance the poppy fruit and cut the Yunxia Bamboos.
At the same time, today was the day for the harvest on ten Wheat Fields and Five Soybean Fields. The rush went straight from morning to late afternoon, where the end harvest comes up to a total of 95kg worth of Fine Wheat Flour and 45kg of raw soybeans.
As for Mu Qing Lang, his day was busy as usual. In the morning, Mu Qing Lang refilled his inventory with a few specialty products. To start off, Mu Qing Lang refined 1,900 Demonic Juniper Fruits into 38 bottles of Infused Juniper Oil.
Next was the Demonic Seed. To make sure he had more than enough, Mu Qing Lang processed 900 of the fruits into 9 seeds, making up the number into ten seeds. Other than that, Mu Qing Lang processed the remaining Amber Roots into Binding Solution and distributed them to Luoli and Fengbu later.
After the first two ingredients, he proceeds with the Prairie Sugar Roots. A part of the rhizomes is processed into 500 ml worth of Root Sucrose Liquid, along with 50 Pure Growth Crystals. In total, he exhausted a total of 12,500 rhizomes to complete the two products.
Of course, since final choice, a Spirit Crystal-Root Seed only cost him 3,500 rhizomes to make, Mu Qing Lang tapped on the selection once and placed a part of his hope to see what surprise the Carriage of Immortality is going to give him.
The next ingredient to be processed is the Prairie Rock Sage. With only 31 leaves in hand, Mu Qing Lang tapped on the option for Suqin Pill for five times, and the last one is made into Perfected Herbal Solution.
"I'll take a short rest before continuing with the Medicinal Opium Latex." Mu Qing Lang proceeds with his two-hour nap and wakes up due to some commotion outside of his carriage.
"What happened?" Mu Qing Lang left his carriage in a rush, only to realized that it was the day the two female goblins in the first batch pregnancy is due. As it was the first generation of heirs for the Goblin Tribe in this village, their birth is welcomed by everyone presents.
"Master! Please take a look at the two Goblin Child!" Qing Yi and Xiao Qing carried both infants to Mu Qing Lang for his view. Except they are much smaller, the two goblin infants are not different from their parents.
Mu Qing Lang went closer to the two goblin infants and hugged them in his arms as a sign of receiving their arrival to this world. Inside his mind, he decides to name the one on his right "Mu Qing" and the one on his left "Mu Lang" to honor his own name.
Surprisingly, a light came out from both infants and immediately, a marquise-shape gemstone appeared on their forehead. Both of them came in deep black color, with a hint of glowing light deep inside.
Then, a familiar tone vibrates inside him.
