The next morning, Xuan Xiao and Yun Xiao walked out of the great hall hand in hand, greeting the new day of the tribe.
There were more laughter in the tribe than usual, and Xuan Xiao continued to lead the tribe members in practicing the Form and Intent Method.
These simple and peaceful days lasted for a long time.
During this time, Xuan Xiao pondered how to utilize the surging fortune.
Although the Fortune Pearl now contained a lot of fortune, fortune was difficult to gather, and Xuan Xiao dared not waste it recklessly.
He thought about consuming fortune to directly enhance his own cultivation. If he did so, he could indeed improve Xuan Xiao in a short time, but it wouldn't be much help to the whole tribe. Firstly, these fortune, although seemingly abundant, couldn't make Xuan Xiao reach a very high level. Moreover, the East Sea coast was relatively peaceful now, and there was no need for Xuan Xiao to improve his strength to protect the tribe.
Of course, an increase in Xuan Xiao's cultivation would mean a stronger tribe, which would also bring in a lot of fortune. However, compared to the fortune brought by the long-term development of the tribe, it was ultimately a bit like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
So Xuan Xiao thought that he could use this fortune to improve the Form and Intent Method, or even create more cultivation methods. This would give the tribe members an opportunity to advance further and thus accumulate more fortune.
But this was also Xuan Xiao's headache. "Creating techniques can't be done out of thin air. It requires the accumulation of cultivation methods and knowledge. Even if I improve my comprehension and wisdom, it's still difficult to create new techniques."
"The Form and Intent Method was created because there was no shortage of ferocious beasts on the East Sea coast, allowing me to observe and comprehend them. Now I have nothing, how can I create new techniques!"
Xuan Xiao's dilemma was that he wanted to create a cultivation method to benefit the entire tribe. But he lacked the accumulation of cultivation methods and couldn't create one.
Besides creating new techniques, Xuan Xiao also thought about spending fortune to get a chance to obtain a cultivation opportunity. But Xuan Xiao was not sure what kind of opportunity he would encounter after spending fortune. What if the opportunity came with danger?
After much deliberation, Xuan Xiao could only put the fortune aside for now.
.....
While Xuan Xiao was pondering how to use his fortune, Yun Xiao rushed over in a panic: "Husband, something's wrong!"
"Something's wrong?" Xuan Xiao instantly became alert, assumed a defensive stance, his whole body solemn, and a hint of fighting spirit surged through him: "What's wrong?"
"Xuan Zhou and Xuan Ye returned from hunting, but they were all badly injured. Fortunately, no one died, which is a blessing in disguise!" Yun Xiao's expression showed a sense of relief.
Xuan Xiao's expression was heavy, he didn't say anything, and immediately took Yun Xiao to where the hunting team was.
Speaking of which, the tribe's hunting team was initially established by Xuan Xiao. At that time, the tribe lacked food, and Xuan Xiao, relying on his advanced Form and Intent Method, led the tribe members to hunt countless ferocious beasts, solving the tribe's food problem and also perfecting the Form and Intent Method.
Over the years, they had encountered dangers and suffered severe injuries several times, and many tribe members had perished. But Xuan Xiao had always survived. Later, with the development of the tribe and the spread of the Form and Intent Method, the tribe members gradually became stronger. The dangers they encountered during hunting became fewer and fewer.
A year ago, seeing Xuan Ye and Xuan Zhou, a pair of tribe members who had made further progress under his careful guidance, Xuan Xiao entrusted the hunting team to them. He had not led the hunting team since then.
For the past year, Xuan Ye and Xuan Zhou had led the hunting team, completing their tasks perfectly every time, without any danger. Why were they encountering danger this time?
Xuan Xiao quickly reached the location of the hunting team, looking at the tribe members lying on the ground, their bodies covered in wounds, limbs missing, and blood flowing constantly, his eyes flashed with anger and killing intent.
These were all Xuan Xiao's tribe members, each one personally taught by him, each one a pillar of the tribe. Now they suffered such severe injuries, some even lost their limbs. How could Xuan Xiao not be angry?
Secondly, the injury of the tribe members meant the injury of the tribe, which also meant the injury of the tribe's fortune.
Both emotionally and logically, Xuan Xiao's heart was filled with anger, his gaze like a sharp sword, he looked at Xuan Ye and Xuan Zhou, who were gloomy: "Both of you, stand up straight."
Xuan Ye and Xuan Zhou heard his words, even though their bodies were still bleeding, they stood up, their straight bodies full of strength. But their eyes darted around, avoiding looking at Xuan Xiao.
"Tell me, what exactly happened? With your strength, in the hunting ground I opened, there shouldn't be any beasts that could injure you?" Xuan Xiao didn't roar, just spoke in a very calm tone. But even in this tone, all the tribe members felt an inner fear.
Xuan Zhou's bitter expression, as if he could squeeze out bitter water: "Chief, our hunting went smoothly at the beginning. But later, we discovered a hidden valley at a hunting spot. We entered it and found many ferocious beasts. Those beasts weren't very strong individually, we hunted them using bows and arrows and weapons. But who knew, an unknown beast suddenly emerged and ambushed us. Although we resisted immediately, the beast was too strong. So..."
Xuan Xiao frowned upon hearing this, he naturally believed Xuan Zhou and Xuan Ye's words. He rose with killing intent towards this suddenly appearing valley and powerful beast, and immediately ordered: "Lead the way..."
No matter what kind of beast it was, how strong it was, Xuan Xiao would hunt it down. First, to avenge his tribe members, and second, to ensure the future safety of the tribe's hunting.
Seeing Xuan Xiao's order, Xuan Ye and Xuan Zhou immediately cheered up, ignoring their injured bodies: "Yes, Chief."
As Xuan Xiao's wife, Yun Xiao was slightly heavy, with caution: "Husband, don't be hasty. Didn't you teach me 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in a hundred battles'? For this unknown beast, we should first understand it clearly..."
"It's okay!" Xuan Xiao knew Yun Xiao's concerns, but at this moment, he was determined to kill the beast. And Xuan Xiao also had a trump card for hunting beasts. No matter how strong this beast was, as long as it wasn't beyond imagination, Xuan Xiao could kill it with the Fortune Pearl as his trump card.
At most, Xuan Xiao would burn some more fortune when using the Burning Fortune Divine Technique to temporarily enhance his strength.
Xuan Xiao made his decision, he wanted to act quickly. He would lead the relatively intact tribe members to hunt the beast. Seeing her husband's decision, Yun Xiao didn't stop him, she simply picked up her weapon and followed.
Yun Xiao wanted to go together, and Xuan Xiao didn't object. With Yun Xiao's current strength, she was second only to him in the tribe.
Xuan Ye and Xuan Zhou also described the unknown beast, their words giving a rough understanding of the beast's strength.
.......
The Tian Xing tribe was built by the mountain, but behind the mountain was an endless mountain range. This mountain range was unknown where it connected to and where it passed through. But for the mountain range behind the tribe, Xuan Xiao named it: Tian Xing Mountain Range.
Within the Tian Xing Mountain Range, there were countless thick trees, and many ferocious beasts were hidden. These beasts seemed to be confined by something and dared not leave the mountain range.
Xuan Xiao discovered this and kept going into the Tian Xing Mountain Range to hunt the ferocious beasts within.
Through years of hunting, he also summarized a safe hunting path and many hunting spots.
As he stepped into the mountains again, feeling the silent and dangerous forest, Xuan Xiao's eyes constantly observed, preventing any danger. After all, the mountains were huge, and Xuan Xiao had only explored a small part, there were still many unknown areas.
Xuan Ye and Xuan Zhou led the way, and after only a few days, they reached a valley.
The location of this valley made Xuan Xiao somewhat surprised. The hunting spot he had opened up after years of hunting, there was actually such a valley hidden there. He had never encountered it before despite passing by countless times.
As he approached the valley, Xuan Xiao suppressed his aura and observed in all directions. But the moment he stepped into the valley, the Fortune Pearl within his mind suddenly vibrated, the fortune condensed within it turned into swirling clouds, as if urging Xuan Xiao.
This change made Xuan Xiao's mind pause, he muttered: "Fortune surging, opportunity has come. This is a place of opportunity! Hiss... This is because my fortune has surged, making me a lucky star, and then leading me to this place. This is too..."
