Divine Mark

Chapter 13 Zhao Yi's Abacus

Iron House, in a rather secluded backyard, Zhao Yi sat majestically next to a large water tank, listening to the report from the people below:
"Second Elder, Qingyun Terrace appeared in our iron hut. This society is talking to the artisans in front, saying that they want weapons."

The person who spoke was a fat and greasy middle-aged man who was usually in charge of many matters of the iron house.

"Oh, he dares to come to our iron house. Doesn't he know that the iron house is under my management? Want a weapon? Go away!" Zhao Yi sneered and waved his hand to signal the steward to go out.

"This..." The steward's face showed embarrassment, and he was at a loss for a while.

"what's wrong with you?"

"Reporting to the third elder, just three days ago, the patriarch issued an order to the whole clan, saying that all matters must be coordinated with Qingyuntai, and those who violated it will be dealt with according to the clan rules..." The voice of the steward became quieter as the words progressed. But Zhao Yi still heard clearly.

"There's no reason for this!!!"

"Could it be that our elders have to accompany him to turn around, I want to see! What can Su, who is in charge of discipline, do with me!!!" Zhao Yi said with a gloomy face.

Seeing that he was so angry at his master with just one word, the manager panicked and ran behind Zhao Yi, a good guy, he squeezed his shoulders and beat his legs, and flattered and persuaded him for a while. That made the latter a little calmer.

The person in charge is also a fine person. Seeing that Zhao Yi had calmed down, he hurriedly said:

"Then according to the elder's intention, let's just blow this kid away and pass on the word, no matter what he wants to do in the future, people from our department will definitely not cooperate with him in the future!"

"Huh? Let me think about it."

……

As soon as Zhao Yi calmed down, he remembered Zhao Yong's spiritual power that exploded at the altar that day, and couldn't help but feel a chill behind him.Thinking about it carefully, this Zhao Yong might be looking for a reason to target me. You must not let everyone in your family fight against that kid, otherwise Zhao Yong will have to come forward to suppress him.

"If we don't openly disobey the patriarch, what should we do at this time?" Zhao Yi said in a strange way, wanting to hear if the manager, who has always been full of bad things, has an idea.

In fact, as early as the moment Zhao Yi was angry, the steward had guessed all kinds of possibilities in his mind, and naturally prepared a lot of excuses. Now what he is waiting for is Zhao Yi's words now.

"In my opinion, we can follow him, but we can add some food to him, so that he can only swallow it if he breaks his teeth."

"What does he want this time?" After the steward's mention, Zhao Yi also came to his senses.

The person in charge only thought about it for a while, and then counted with his fingers: "I can hear clearly, he wants a knife weighing thirty catties, a three-stone bow, five crushed stone needles, and refined arrow clusters. Thirty."

"Hmph, thirty catties, is he capable of swinging it? The three-stone bow is the top bow we can make, and it takes more than three hundred catties to draw it to full strength. Is he joking?" Zhao Yi A look of disdain.

"Then let's get him a hollow knife, and keep it safe for him to play like a tiger, so that it will break when you knock it at a critical moment?" the manager suggested bravely.

"Go away, someone smashed his own signboard?" Zhao Yi's face changed as soon as he said it, and he shouted loudly.Although he was not ashamed, as the blacksmith master of the Shigang tribe, he still had a bottom line, and he didn't even bother to do such things as fraud.

"Go and see in the warehouse, what are the heaviest materials?"

After a short while in charge, he dragged his chubby body into and out of the warehouse, and when he came back, he didn't bother to wipe off the sweat on his head, and hurriedly said:
"There are a lot of fine steel, and the broad knife can reach forty catties. There is also a piece of extraterrestrial meteoric iron weighing seventy catties that you collected a few years ago, and its size is just right for a knife." The manager immediately Tell Zhao Yi the result.

Zhao Yi said without hesitation: "Just this piece of meteorite. The special material inside makes it extremely heavy. I want him to lose all face and return the knife automatically."

"But Second Elder, you said that this treasure will be left to Captain Yang to cast the spear."

……

"Yang'er already has a weeping blood gun, one of the five great treasures of the tribe, how can it be compared with that mere meteorite."

"That's it, you go and tell him, after five days, the weapon will be delivered to his door."

Zhao Yi left the last sentence, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the warehouse. This piece of extraterrestrial iron is also very rare. Facing this kind of material, he couldn't help feeling a little itchy, and prepared to forge a good knife by himself.After all, he had the idea of ​​forging a knife for himself, and with the strength of that kid who weighed more than 200 jin, he definitely couldn't use this knife, so he could easily take it back at that time.

In fact, Qingyuntai fainted when he awakened the power of the soul at the altar. Only Zhao Yong and Jin Wenyang in the whole tribe knew his strength. Poor Zhao Yi, who is about to become a wage earner, doesn't know it yet.

On the way to leave, he wondered if he had misunderstood Tielu in the past, but this time things went smoothly beyond expectations, could it be that Zhao Yi wasn't there?Qingyuntai thought wildly.

Seeing how many hours before it got dark, Qingyun Terrace went to the Crescent Cave and carefully observed the captive wild beasts.When he was away, Shitou led people to take charge of these matters. When he went, he usually listened to the recent situation and gave advice to everyone.

After staying at Shi Xiaomei's for half an hour, having a conversation with the little girl, Qing Yuntai went home.

At dusk, in the yard, the young man was bending over with a bucket to water the flowers and plants. Looking at the dry and cracked land, he couldn't help but start to look forward to the arrival of the rainy season.

"Old man Zhao said that the rainy season is coming soon, hey, my strength should be qualified to participate in large-scale hunting operations." Qing Yuntai thought with anticipation.

On the eve of the rainy season, the tribe needs to stockpile enough wild animal flesh and blood. At that time, all hunting teams and reserve members will be sent into the wilderness, and they will hunt for half a month at all costs.If someone in the family can participate in it, it is the most proud thing for the whole family.

At the same time, all the clansmen will also enter a busy period, frantically picking and harvesting various resources, and the blood and flesh of wild beasts that are continuously transported back need to be properly processed and preserved in a timely manner. The whole clan will take action to prepare for the three-month long rainy season.

"Is Qingyun there?" A familiar voice came from outside...

"Come in." Qing Yuntai knew that this was Wang Jun, the personal guard of the patriarch Zhao Yong.

The person who came was dressed in rough animal skins and had a burly appearance, with a gleaming long knife pinned to his waist.Wang Junnian is nearly forty, with a gentle and cautious personality. In addition to assisting Zhao Yong in dealing with family affairs, he is also good at swordsmanship. His strength is about [-] catties. He belongs to the top group of people in the tribe. Only the elders and the two hunters are stronger than him. Captain, Qingyuntai has also been practicing sword skills under his guidance.

Putting down the matter in hand, Qing Yuntai led Wang Jun to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down.

"Gurgling..."

Two streams of clear spring poured into the cup, and Qing Yuntai handed over a cup.

……

"This is the distribution of wild beast flesh and blood for next month. According to the usual practice, do you see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted?" Wang Jun handed over a roll of animal skins and a pen, and the handwriting inside neatly listed nearly two people of the Shigang tribe next month. The amount of food distributed to more than [-] households.

After Qingyuntai took it, he quickly lowered his head to look it up, and at the same time made minor adjustments according to the information he had obtained.

"The Wang family has selected a hunting team member this month, and the meat should be doubled."

"The four households of the Yu family have already sent people to teach them skilled fishing skills. In the future, except for wild animal meat, other foods will be canceled by [-]%."

……

"Old Mrs. Li's heir has passed away, and no one is paying attention. Starting from this month, enough ordinary food should be sent every day."

Qingyuntai seemed to understand the current situation of the Shigang tribe very well. Of course, he didn't need to collect these data himself, and Qingyuntai only needed to be responsible for checking and confirming.

……

"The resources of Crescent Cave Sky have increased by [-]%, what's going on?" Qing Yuntai lowered his head and asked:

"Helping you take care of the mysterious beast is meritorious, and you will need to shoulder greater responsibilities in the future. The patriarch and elders have specifically emphasized that resources will gradually be tilted towards those children in the future."

"Oh……"

"According to the current distribution plan, the tribe can eat 80.00% of the time, and there are a lot of game, wild fruits and vegetables to satisfy their hunger at other times." Wang Jun looked at the young man who was focusing on modifying animal skins, and said with relief.

Qing Yuntai didn't take it seriously. When he didn't formulate rules in the past, the Shigang tribe often lived a life with one meal and one meal. When food was plentiful, eating Hesai was a huge waste. Time, then all fall to endure hunger to spend.

It wasn't until the sky was completely dark that Wang Jun was satisfied and left with the revised list of animal skins.

Sending Wang Jun away, Qingyuntai thought about going to confirm the matter of Qinghaocao tomorrow, and was full of anticipation.

Shaking his messy head, he came to the bamboo pavilion, where Qingyuntai continued to practice the "Secret Code of Soul Control".

In the depths of the Sea of ​​Consciousness, in the center of the empty space, a huge mist with a diameter of 50 meters is shrinking at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and the little snake formed by the power of Qingyuntai's soul, after five or six days of growth, has already It is thicker, and the absorption and transformation of Wuzhu's soul power has also accelerated a lot.

After these days of understanding, Qingyuntai discovered that the soul actually gathers and disperses without form, and indeed does not have a fixed form.The serpentine shape that was revealed at the beginning was actually just a coincidence, and now Qingyuntai is deliberately maintaining the serpentine shape.

During the cultivation, the time passed quickly, and the slender snake transformed by the power of the soul was greedily absorbing the gluttonous feast in the sea of ​​consciousness. According to the current speed, Qing Yuntai estimated that it would take two years at the shortest time, and three or four years at the longest. Can touch the threshold of a first-order soul master.

Unknowingly, as the night approached, Qing Yuntai stood up and let out a sigh of relief. "Let's call it a day."

"Cuckoo..."

Standing up together, my stomach protested.

As the fire flickered, a large piece of desolate animal meat slowly turned in the yard, and the rich meaty aroma broke the tranquility of the night.

After awakening the power of the soul, his intake of wild beast flesh and blood has more than doubled.As the soul grows, the amount of divine power he can incorporate into his body also increases, and his physical body is greatly strengthened in the process.

According to this speed, Qing Yuntai estimated that within a few years it will reach the threshold of a soul warrior - completely possessing the strength of an ox (a thousand catties). Of course, if the sea of ​​​​divinity cannot be successfully opened up, the limit of the body's ability to hold divine power is only this level.
