Chapter 1160 Exchanging Resources
After bringing the barbarian leader into the pavilion, Chen Yang explained the reasons for his actions.
However, before Chen Yang could elaborate, the barbarian leader grinned, "I can roughly guess the reason. Leader Chen Yang is, after all, the leader of the Human Race, and everything he does must be for the consideration of the Human Race."
"Helping us barbarians like this, if anything goes wrong in the process, it might bring disaster to the Human Race."
"Prying into the secrets of heaven is not something unexpected."
"However, such things are best not to be done, it wears down one's lifespan too much."
As he finished speaking, Chen Yang noticed a trace of greed in the barbarian leader's eyes.
Chen Yang nodded with a wry smile. It seemed this barbarian leader was truly unwilling to leave without getting the pills he desired.
Chen Yang specially took out the pills he had refined and explained, "I'm not entirely sure how much spiritual energy these pills can restore."
"However, the materials for these pills are all of the highest grade from the Land of Hope."
"I originally saved them to deal with the master of the Demon Capital Prefecture, but since there is a greater need for them now, I naturally won't be stingy with these pills."
As Chen Yang was about to place the pills into the barbarian leader's hand, he quietly spoke of another important matter.
Originally, Chen Yang had planned to inform the barbarian leader about these matters after the first batch of spirit rice from the spiritual fields was harvested.
But now, it seemed appropriate to give him a heads-up.
"Didn't I say before that I planned to have some people accompany the barbarians to participate in the battle against the Demon Capital Prefecture?"
"There might be some minor changes to this plan."
Upon hearing this, the barbarian leader looked at Chen Yang with some confusion and said without hesitation, "Tell me."
Even if the Human Race's Foundation Establishment realm cultivators didn't go, it wouldn't be a problem, as the Human Race had fewer numbers to begin with.
"Besides the Foundation Establishment realm, there are also three Core Condensation realm cultivators who might need to go to the battlefield."
"I'll have to trouble you to take care of these three individuals."
The three people Chen Yang mentioned were naturally Luo Xiaohao, Ruan Dongjun, and Daozhi, who had just broken through to the Core Condensation realm.
Originally, Chen Yang had no intention of letting these three go, as they carried too much on their shoulders.
Losing even one of them would be a loss for the Human Race.
But Daozhi, upon learning about the barbarians' situation, had come to him immediately, wanting to participate.
In Daozhi's words, at least with the current strength of the Human Race, they wouldn't be cultivated like flowers in a greenhouse.
Luo Xiaohao and Ruan Dongjun also agreed to participate.
Chen Yang had no choice but to bring it up.
The barbarian leader had expected something else, but instead of a reduction in numbers, there were three powerful reinforcements. His expression immediately lit up with joy.
"Excellent, excellent!"
"There's no problem with that at all!"
Even the weakest of the Core Condensation realm cultivators was still a Core Condensation realm cultivator.
The barbarian leader knew that even if the barbarians could mobilize all their forces, they would still have far fewer Core Condensation realm cultivators than the Demon Capital Prefecture.
In such a situation, any additional combat power was a good thing.
After sending the barbarian leader away, Chen Yang did not inform the Human Race's Core Condensation realm cultivators about the others going, as this matter needed to be kept as secret as possible.
Chen Yang stopped his calculations, put things away, and the next day began gathering everyone who wished to go to the barbarian territory.
Looking at the many familiar faces, Chen Yang felt a sense of hesitation.
There were many people in his heart whom he didn't want to go.
Fei Zijin, Zhuo Zehan, and Wu Hanyu had been guarding Qingzhou City's businesses during his absence.
After arriving in the Mortal Realm, they had also shown considerable talent and had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
With a little more time, they could even become Great Perfection cultivators.
Yet, these three all wanted to go and fight with the barbarians.
However, Chen Yang did not stop them, but instead his gaze fell upon another familiar face beside him, Fang Yuanyuan.
Chen Yang felt a sense of emotion regarding this young girl. Although only a few months had passed since their last meeting, the immaturity he had seen on Fang Yuanyuan's face during their first encounter was gone.
After Fang Yuanyuan had dealt with her senior brother's funeral and recuperated for over a month, she had returned to the Mortal Realm.
As she was checking her weapons, Fang Yuanyuan seemed to sense Chen Yang's gaze.
She looked up, and their eyes met, after which a smile appeared on her face.
This time, Chen Yang did not assign anyone to look after Fang Yuanyuan, because there was no one left to do so.
Fang Yuanyuan's current strength was even greater than that of Fei Zijin and the other two.
It was possible that in certain situations, they would need Fang Yuanyuan to lead the way.
As he watched the young martial artists gathered in the courtyard, Chen Yang cleared his throat, and everyone instantly fell silent.
"There are only a few days left until we depart for the barbarian territory."
"During these days, you must learn and master various survival skills. I know you are all already in the Foundation Establishment realm, but during combat, it is even more crucial to conceal your identities."
"Your identities as Human Race members must not be discovered by the Demon Capital Prefecture. If exposed, you must ensure that the information does not get back."
With that, Chen Yang moved away from the main seat.
The instructor specifically responsible for teaching everyone how to conceal their identities was not him, but Dong Cang.
After all, Dong Cang was the one in charge of intelligence work.
Time flew by, and the spiritual fields, accelerated by spirit stones, yielded their first batch of spirit rice within just a few days.
Despite the immense consumption, Chen Yang was very satisfied.
With the thousands of miners under the command of the great rat, these spirit stones could be replenished in no time.
The barbarian leader looked at the many Human Race members before him and said solemnly, "The Human Race has reached this point thanks to the immense contributions of Leader Chen Yang."
Chen Yang merely smiled and did not reply. His heart was even heavier.
He did not know if all these Human Race martial artists would be able to return.
Chen Yang naturally wanted to personally escort the team, but after his appearance in Demon Bone City last time, he had become a thorn in the side of the Demon Capital Prefecture, and the risk of exposure was too great.
Looking at the three individuals, Daozhi, Luo Xiaohao, and Ruan Dongjun, hidden among the crowd, Chen Yang saw that they all exuded Foundation Establishment realm auras and was very satisfied. He winked, then turned to Old Monster Zhang and said, "Are you really going? If you stay and teach the Human Race in the Mortal Realm, there's a high chance you could cultivate several more Core Condensation realm cultivators."
Besides his teaching duties at the Land of Hope, Old Monster Zhang no longer even visited the spatial gateway.
After all, the Human Race in the Mortal Realm was severely lacking in resources in this regard, and even some Core Condensation realm cultivators wished to get closer to Old Monster Zhang.
