As Chen Xiaofeng contemplated these questions, he couldn't restrain himself any longer and turned to Wang Hong, asking,
"Master, I have some doubts. While cultivating Mortals may regain some numerical advantage, isn't the cost of nurturing Mortals extremely high? In that case, if their numbers increase significantly, won't we be unable to bear the resource burden?"
"You've thought about this, which is excellent!" Wang Hong replied without blame in his tone. As the lowest-ranking warrior, Chen Xiaofeng didn't need to think; he simply needed to execute orders. However, as a talented commander, not understanding how to think and adapt was clearly unacceptable.
Therefore, when he discussed matters with his subordinates, it wasn't a one-sided conversation. Anyone could offer their opinions, and then a discussion would take place, but the final decision rested with Wang Hong.
Chen Xiaofeng's point was indeed valid. If they were to deplete Spirit Herb resources entirely, even with his Space ability, he wouldn't be able to supply so many.
"Try this type of Pill."
Wang Hong casually tossed a bottle of Pills to Chen Xiaofeng, containing some simplified Essence Core Pills.
Chen Xiaofeng poured one out, examined it with his Divine Sense, sniffed it, and then swallowed it. He wasn't suspicious that Wang Hong would harm him but, as an Alchemist, it was his habit to first identify a new Pill.
After refining the Pill, he carefully felt its effects.
"How does it feel?" Wang Hong asked with a smile.
"It has a body refining effect, enhancing physical strength, but its efficacy can only be considered average. Are those Mortals really consuming this type of Pill?" Chen Xiaofeng answered truthfully.
"That's right."
"But I assume this type of Pill also requires a substantial amount of resources?"
"What if this type of Pill could be mass-produced?" Wang Hong asked. He wasn't worried about Chen Xiaofeng leaking information now; he still had the slave mark on him, and he had already contributed information about the Essence Core Pill to the Qingxu Sect before its destruction.
The attraction between Yin and Yang was a fundamental principle of the universe, and even Immortal Cultivators could be affected by it unconsciously.
It was said that some long-time bachelor Mortals, when they had been single for a long time, would show interest in members of the opposite sex upon seeing them. They would even go so far as to examine a tree by the roadside to determine its gender.
Wang Hong suppressed his growing affection and declined this tempting request. He couldn't let a woman's appearance affect his decisions.
On the second day of their return to Yunxia Mountain, Wang Hong gathered his subordinates for a discussion.
"My trip to Taihao City was quite fruitful. Besides cooperating with the Immortal Way Trading Company, I've opened a new shop in Taihao City and acquired a large quantity of refining tool materials. Xu Lun, gather the refining tool masters, and use these second-tier materials to refine another batch of Spiritual Weapons."
These second-tier materials were no longer useful to him, so he decided to use them for his subordinates.
"Alright, we have quite a few second-tier refining tool masters now," Xu Lun responded. He hadn't expected that Wang Hong's trip would solve so many issues.
"Luo Zhongjie, how is the training of the Mortals progressing?"
"East Master, they have started to follow orders to some extent," Luo Zhongjie replied. Although Wang Hong had given this task just before his departure, it had already shown some results due to intensive training.
"Good! Well done!" Wang Hong praised.
In fact, on his way back, he had already observed the progress, and the training results were indeed promising.
"East Master, there is one more thing. Some time ago, a small group of Demon Wolves from the Demon Wolf Clan wandered into our wheat fields and ambushed several people, injuring them. Our people managed to kill five Demon Wolves, but the rest escaped. These Demon Wolves occasionally encroach upon our territory, and our patrol teams are small, covering a large area, making it difficult to be vigilant at all times. Mortals in the villages are often caught off guard and attacked by Demon Wolves. We've tried to hunt them down a few times, but the results were meager. The main issue is that we don't want to provoke these wolves too much. They are the strongest Demon Clan in this region, and if we engage them head-on, we could easily expose our Human Clan identity."
