Chapter 53: Becoming the Patriarch in One Day
Blackwater tribe.
Inside the alchemy room, the great wizard tremblingly picked up a glowing red pill and said with emotion: "This is the foundation-building pill." When he had this pill, he had successfully built his foundation.
"The great wizard can also try it now." Qin Mo said.
This time, the pill refining went very smoothly, and a total of 12 pills were refined, without wasting a single frost-white fruit. With Qin Mo's current excellent physique, one foundation-building pill would be enough to succeed.
There's nothing wrong with sharing one.
"No." The great wizard smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Let's leave it to the young people in the tribe."
"It's up to the great wizard to arrange." Qin Mo took out three foundation-building pills and handed them to the great wizard as compensation.
The Great Wizard did not take it, and suddenly asked: "Are you willing to lead the Black Water Tribe?"
"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Qin Mo was a little confused.
"Why……"
The great wizard sighed deeply, "Since the death of our ancestor Heishui, the tribe has not produced a single foundation-building cultivator in the past hundred years. We are only relying on an old man like me who is in the Qi Refining Stage to support the tribe."
"When our ancestors were here, they could still deter the surrounding monsters and protect the tribe. Now that our ancestors are gone and there are no senior monks to guard the area, the monsters in the Black and White Mountains have long been ready to make a move and may come down the mountain to eat people at any time."
"So you want to choose me as the clan leader?" Qin Mo understood a little.
As the main plane of "Honghuang", Jiuzhou Continent is by no means the novice village as players know it, and it will definitely play a more important role in the future.
It just hasn’t reached that stage yet.
Not to mention the distant past, another year has passed, and the players in the first camp have already broken through to the blood exchange period, and top players like Du Shihao may have entered the Qi Refining period.
After refining Qi, players must return to the tribe to learn new skills.
Knowing that Qin Mo had entered the Qi Refining Stage, the Great Wizard wanted to teach Qin Mo the "Black Water True Method" left by the Black Water Clan. However, he would have thought that Qin Mo was about to establish his foundation in the blink of an eye.
So I gave up the thought.
It can be predicted that as the mainstream level of players approaches the Qi Refining Stage, Jiuzhou Continent will soon usher in the first wave of returning players, who will become the backbone of each tribe.
It makes sense to revitalize the tribe.
I just don’t know whether new subcontinents will be opened up in the future.
"Are you... willing?" The great wizard's eyes were full of anticipation.
"I do." Qin Mo nodded.
Qin Mo knew very well that his roots were in "Honghuang" rather than in Blue Star. The hub of "Honghuang" was the Kyushu Continent, which meant that his roots should have been in the Black Water Tribe.
Taking over as clan leader means gaining an advantage.
There's really no reason to refuse.
"Good, I didn't make a mistake in choosing this person. He is responsible." The great wizard gave a thumbs up, his face flushed with excitement. "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will hold a tribal meeting to announce this news."
The position of the chief of the Blackwater tribe has been vacant for three years, and the great wizard actually assumes the responsibilities of the chief.
"Let me build my foundation first." Qin Mo said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, see, I forgot about this. There is a quiet room in the ancestral temple. Come, I'll take you there." The great wizard obviously had not yet recovered from his excitement.
Qin Mo understood.
…
Two days later, in the quiet room.
There were no accidents or surprises. Qin Mo successfully established his foundation and everything came naturally.
Realm: Foundation Building Stage (Early Stage)
Soul: 400 (abnormal status, sealed...)
Root bone: 13
Qi and blood: 420
Mana: 100
Spells: Clairvoyance, Fire, Ice, Wind, Armor, Stealth
Territory: Six counties of Liaodong, Prosperity: 75 points
Skills: "Shenxiao Zhenfa" (second level/twelfth level), "Bajiu Xuan Gong" (incomplete), "Shattering Star Sword" (third level/ninth level), "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" (master level)
Remaining experience points: 60,000 points
After building the foundation, Qin Mo's soul was unsealed to the Jindan stage, doubling to 400 points.
The spiritual consciousness of a Qi Refining Stage cultivator can only drive light objects such as talismans, while the spiritual consciousness of a Foundation Establishment cultivator can generally drive magical instruments weighing less than two kilograms.
Only when you reach the Jindan stage can you truly control a flying sword.
Unfortunately, now Qin Mo can't even refine the simplest magical weapon, let alone a flying sword. It's not that he doesn't know how, but he simply can't find the right materials for refining the weapon.
The only things that were taken away were the scales and teeth of the black water snake, the earth shell of the thick white pig and other small amounts of biological materials. There was not a single piece of mineral material.
There is no need to even think about the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, otherwise, Zuo Ci would not be a pauper.
There must be some in the Jiuzhou Continent, but Qin Mo's current range of activities is only around the Black and White Mountains, and there is not much information to find. Searching for refining materials is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It’s difficult!!!
Qin Mo specifically asked the great wizard, but his ancestor Heishui also didn't quite understand it.
The key refining materials are mainly rare minerals, which are not like spiritual herbs that can be traced. One must first find the veins, open up mining sites, and dig them up bit by bit, just like the waves washing away the sand.
A lot of times it depends on luck.
Rare minerals are generally associated minerals and are not so easy to find.
Therefore, in the world of earthly immortals, the sects' refining materials are basically entrusted to the secular dynasties to send people to mine. No cultivator would be willing to go down to the mine to mine personally, as that would be too embarrassing.
So,
For Qin Mo, refining weapons is just a thought...
After building the foundation, Qin Mo's magic power doubled to 100 points, and he could barely cast two intermediate spells; the dimensional space also expanded from 5m×5m×4m to 10m×5m×4m.
The third level of "Star Shattering Sword Technique" is unlocked, and the Qi and blood are slightly improved.
But it is not as obvious as during the body-building period.
Qin Mo has just learned the second level of "Shenxiao Zhenfa". If he wants to reach the goal in one step and directly advance from the early stage of foundation building to the perfect foundation building, he needs 500,000 experience points.
This is something Qin Mo cannot afford at the moment .
On the surface, Qin Mo's strength has improved a lot. Unfortunately, due to the limited resources at hand, he has neither enough talismans nor magical weapons, and the means he can actually use have not increased much.
…
The next day, the ancestral temple.
Under the chairmanship of the great wizard, in front of all the clan members, Qin Mo officially took on the position of clan leader.
Most of those standing in the front row were Qin Mo's acquaintances, such as the blacksmith Wang Dachui, the tailor shop owner Du San, the clinic owner Qin Ming, the martial arts hall owner Zhao Gang, and the zoo owner Liu Que.
Together with the great wizard Ji Ye, they form the backbone of the tribe.
Zhao Gang, the martial arts master, is also the captain of the tribal hunting team, managing a large hunting team of 200 people.
Similarly, many people in the tribe were familiar with Qin Mo, the newly rising young hero. Upon learning that Qin Mo had successfully established his foundation and was recommended by the great wizard, they had no objection to him becoming the tribe leader.
In the Savage Continent, the strong are respected.
After taking office, everyone dispersed and a new page was added to Qin Mo's personal panel.
[Territory]: Blackwater Tribe (small tribe)
[Clan leader]: Qin Mo (early stage of foundation building)
Population: 1438 (438)
(Note: The number in brackets is the number of aliens, including those who have quit the game)
[Army]: None
【Funds】: 705 gold coins
[Spirit Stone]: None
[Resource]: Extremely barren
[Industry]: Blacksmith shop, tailor shop, martial arts hall, medical clinic, inn, zoo
【Arable land】: None
[Spiritual Field]: None
【Architecture】: Ancestral temples, residential buildings, fences, etc.
The current situation of the Heishui tribe can only be described in one word - extremely poor.
Especially after the players left and entered the Three Kingdoms subcontinent , the business of blacksmith shops, tailor shops, inns, etc. plummeted and they can only survive now.
Thousands of tribesmen rely on the hunting team to bring prey every day to fill their stomachs.
Even so, they still have to worry, fearing that the monsters in the Black and White Mountains might suddenly come down the mountain on a whim and capture a few women to serve them, or a few children to eat with wine.
It’s really not easy…
The territory panel also refreshes the task - [Develop the territory into a medium-sized tribe, experience value +50,000 points].
Qin Mo checked the task requirements, there were only two points in total.
First, the tribal population reached 3,000 people.
Second, reach the poverty line.
To put it bluntly, it means that while doubling the population, we must still ensure that the people have enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and are not threatened by monsters.
Well, it’s a very simple request.
