Chapter 1241: Chapter 1241: Ancient Pill Recipe

Yuri Qualls, well-prepared for the meeting, stood up and directed everyone’s attention to the red dot at the center of the territory map.

“This is Jaa’ku city,” he explained. “It falls under the Zunde Royal Dynasty’s jurisdiction.”

“The Zunde Royal Dynasty spans tens of thousands of miles, overseeing 73 aboriginal cities, including Jaa’ku,” Yuri continued.

“Now that Jaa’ku is under our control, news of it will reach the Zunde Royal Dynasty. They won’t stay passive; they’ll send their aboriginal experts to prevent our expansion.”

Yuri proceeded to detail the distribution of forces on the territory map, with plans to distribute copies to each regimental commander after the meeting.

“Third Master, how far is the Zunde Royal Dynasty from us?” Tanner Lynn inquired.

“8,600 miles away!” Yuri pointed to a thumb-sized red dot marked as Zunde.

“It’s 8,000 miles away,” Tanner asserted. “The wilderness is filled with high-level spirit beasts. The Zunde Royal City can’t mobilize an army, or they’d be surrounded by beasts in the wilderness.”

“The Zunde Royal Dynasty is eight thousand miles away. They are unable to send an army, but the nearest aboriginal city is only 80 miles away,” Laird Xenos added, eyeing the map.

Fifth Master Qadry Knight, known as one of the Qilin twins of the Northern Army, expressed determination. “The Zunde Royal Dynasty can’t send an army, but Machusa city can. Find an opportunity to destroy them!”

“Others shouldn’t sleep soundly where I lie!” Sixth Master Landry Knight echoed, advocating the destruction of Machusa city.

Braydon Neal, sitting quietly, understood the bravery and combat prowess of the Northern Army men, but he was also concerned about the potential casualties in such sieges.

“As long as the resources of Jaa’ku can sustain the Northern Army, we don’t need to worry about these large aboriginal cities. For the next year, I will personally guard Jaa’ku.”

“Brother!”

Luther Carden interjected, frowning. He lowered his voice to remind him, “Heather…”

“The military meeting isn’t the place to discuss her,” Braydon calmly stated, bringing an end to that topic.

Braydon knew what Luther meant.

With Luther’s ability, it was not difficult to find out about Heather Sage’s pregnancy.

If Braydon were to guard Jaa’ku for a year, he would miss the birth of their children.

Yet, there were many things beyond Braydon’s control.

Whatever he owed Heather, Braydon was determined to repay in the future.

Luther sighed softly, recognizing that Braydon’s obligations extended beyond Heather alone.

Once Braydon’s children were born, they too would bear the weight of these debts.

As the father, Braydon couldn’t attend the birth of his children or witness their growth.

However, abandoning the Northern Army to accompany his family was not an option.

“Brother,” Yuri interjected, “Old Man Lowe has sent more than one inquiry. He mentioned your wedding with Heather…”

“Postpone it.”

“I’ve transferred the Northern Army here,” Braydon remarked casually. “I hope to bolster the Northern Army with more elites. If necessary, I won’t hesitate to empty Jaa’ku.”

“Yes, sir!” The regimental commanders stood up, understanding the commander’s intent.

The only value of Jaa’ku lay in its cultivation resources.

Once depleted, Braydon would choose another ancient city for the Northern Army.

All hundred regimental commanders had reached the pinnacle realm and required spirit herbs for daily cultivation.

Braydon generously distributed transcendent-grade spirit pills, each capable of boosting one’s vitality by 10,000 Na.

Even in the ruins, such pills could save years of hard work, showcasing the allure of top-notch spirit herbs.

After the meeting concluded, Skylar Neal approached with a stack of account books.

“Braydon, these are the accounts from the city lord’s mansion. Chaka Hlongwane had considerable assets, and there are precious spirit herbs and a few pill recipes.”

“Let me see.”

Braydon picked up the most complete ancient pill recipe—Body Tempering Pill.

A long-lost formula, this pill could enhance a martial artist’s physique, making it as valuable as Blood Clotting Pills.

“Order the gathering of materials for the Body Tempering Pill. At the same time, gather materials for the Blood Clotting Pill,” Braydon instructed decisively.

“Alright!”

Luther exited the room and promptly instructed his men to gather the spirit herbs.

While Braydon had the knowledge to refine pills, catering to the entire Northern Army’s needs was an unrealistic feat.

Could he produce enough spirit pills for a million soldiers?

The sheer magnitude of the task seemed astronomical, even for Braydon.

“Have Scott Lionel and the others arrived?” Braydon inquired softly.

“Yes!” Skylar responded, turning to call in Scott—a great national doctor from the Northern Army and a martial artist.

In order to become an alchemy master, a martial artist had to first reach the supreme pinnacle realm.

While Scott couldn’t concoct pills, he excelled in producing spirit liquid, which proved to be a more efficient alternative to consuming spirit herbs.

Braydon detailed the steps for mixing the Body Tempering Liquid and Blood Clotting Liquid, handing the instructions to Scott for experimentation.

Simultaneously, Braydon instructed, “Have the Northern Army ninth-level kings come to the city lord’s mansion to find me. I will help them become a pinnacle.”

Luther diligently noted down these tasks.

While Braydon resided in the city lord’s mansion, Luther and the others collected Jaa’ku’s spirit herbs and sent them to Braydon’s residence.

In the meantime, Braydon focused on both pill refinement during the day and cultivating the Great Void of Kylo Art at night.

With Braydon’s vitality reaching 500,000 Na, he had ascended to the inimitable pinnacle realm.

His mental power in the spiritual aperture had even attained stage four, enabling him to swiftly dispatch weaker opponents.

With his commitment to staying in Jaa’ku for a year, Luther and the others were not idling around either.

They efficiently managed the aboriginal city, imposing increased taxes on all merchants and collecting various resources.

In the city lord’s mansion’s meeting hall, piles of documents accumulated.

Skylar calmly reported, “Yes, there are a total of 9,620 merchants in Jaa’ku. They pay monthly taxes of about 1,000 spirit crystals to the city lord’s mansion.”
