Chapter 61: Training the Slave Team

It only took Hua Xing and Hua Zichen one day to get from the Ordos tribe of the Xiongnu Kingdom to the Linhu Kingdom. They only needed to go south for another 1,800 miles to cross the Linhu grassland and enter the territory of Zhao.

On the other side, after Hua Kai left the Ordos tribe, he followed the river in front of him and went north. He knew that as long as he followed the river, he would definitely meet other tribes.

Hua Kai's caravan still had 18 carriages, but the number of people had increased to 290, including 239 slaves. The entire caravan had only 131 horses, so the caravan could not go fast at all, even though Hua Kai had put the caravan's high-level animal bones and animal skins into his personal space. They only walked 30 miles in one morning.

"It's noon, everyone stop and rest! Each team should summarize the performance of their own players and hand in the list of all the poor performers. We are going to set up a 'sheep team', and all the poor performers will join the sheep team. The sheep team will not be able to ride in carriages in the future, but can only walk." Hua Kai saw that the scorching sun had risen high at noon, so he organized the entire caravan to stop and rest.

In one morning, he finally realized how difficult it was to trade with a group of slaves. If it was like this, he guaranteed that the Hua family caravan would never go back to Qi this year, so Hua Kai planned to train all the slaves.

The first is organizational discipline.

He divided all the slaves into four teams according to the previous groupings, and arranged two to six people in each team to monitor the performance of all the slaves along the way, so that those with poor physical strength could sit in the carriage as much as possible. After all, the empty seats in the Hua family's carriages can only accommodate more than 100 people, and half of the slaves need to walk on the ground.

At first, these slaves did not listen to orders at all. As long as you didn't pay attention, they would quietly climb onto the carriage. Anyway, the Hua family would not easily punish people physically. This was Hua Kai's order.

Later, Hua Kai left those who didn't obey orders at the end of the caravan, and asked Er Zhuang to take a few team members to watch them and deal with them if they didn't obey. Only in this way did the caravan speed up.

In order to motivate everyone, improve everyone's obedience, and cultivate the slaves' loyalty to the family, Hua Kai thought of establishing the "sheep team" method. Even if the slaves have no sense of honor now, they have to keep walking if they don't obey. Everyone will definitely feel the benefits of obedience in the end, and the slaves' obedience will be greatly improved. Only then can the caravan speed up.

"Master, it's so tiring! It's so troublesome to bring so many women. They have poor physical strength. Many of them fainted today." Wei Baotou walked to Hua Kai and said.

"Your team has been given preferential treatment. Most of the people on the carriage are your female slave team. You have to drag them back to Huajiabao one by one." Hua Kai said to Wei Baotou who was complaining on the side.

Wei Baotou's willpower has greatly increased in the past few days, and his cultivation has also entered the Qidong realm. Now he looks much more confident.

After hearing what Hua Kai said, Wei Baotou didn't dare to quibble. Although he didn't agree with Hua Kai buying so many female slaves, he would do his best to do it as long as Hua Kai had given the order.

Hua Kai came out this time mainly to train these slaves. Even if the goods in the space couldn't be sold, he could still sell them after transporting them back to the Ordos tribe. Wouldn't it be nice for him to rest and eat meat in the tribe?

But Hua Kai was thinking about how to quickly strengthen the strength of the entire caravan. As long as the loyalty of these slaves increased to more than 50, they could almost be completely trusted. At that time, the Hua family would not only not have to send people to guard them, but also have many more helpers.

Han Jinsheng had only been with the Hua family for 10 days. Now his loyalty had risen to 79 points. He had become an important helper of the caravan. Hua Kai handed over many problems to him to deal with, and the entire operation of the caravan was much easier.

Five sheep were killed at noon. After everyone had eaten them, everyone was waiting for Hua Kai to talk about "Three Kingdoms". Hua Kai has talked about "Three Kingdoms" for more than 400 chapters. The whole story has exceeded 2 million words, which is more than twice the original 600,000 words. There is still a long way to go before the end. He is now very fluent in talking about "Three Kingdoms". "Three Kingdoms" has been changed by him into a family struggle, but this is also what ordinary people in this world like to listen to the most.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, the caravan continued to set off. After walking more than 20 miles, they found a small tribe of 10,000 people. The Hua family caravan entered the tribe and soon people came out to negotiate. They traded about 100 gold goods. Hua Kai obtained more than a dozen strong horses and some animal bones and furs.

At night, everyone was not in a hurry to leave. Hua Kai and everyone in the caravan settled down and lay on the bed. He checked his attribute panel.

Hua Kai: Kaiyuan Realm 3rd level

Qualification: D-

Constitution: 23

Strength: 26

Will: 29

Novelist: Student

Mental Method (Novelist): Basic Copywriting Skills (Heaven-level Low-level Mental Method) Minor Success

Mental Method: Tranquility Technique (Yellow-level Advanced Mental Method) Perfect

Martial Arts: Sky-Splitting Spear (Yellow-level Advanced Spear Method) Perfect

Special Mental Method: Great Dream Visualization Method (God-level) Entry

Special Skill: Eye of Truth (Cannot be upgraded)

Recently, he has gained a lot of insights from practicing [Sky-Splitting Spear] at night. His strength has reached Kaiyuan Realm 3rd level. At this point, he once again felt that his body's spiritual energy consumption was about to catch up with his absorption. This is the sadness of insufficient qualifications.

However, because of the recent lecture on "Three Kingdoms", his will and strength have improved a lot, especially his will. Every time he lectures, they can feel the improvement of his willpower. It is also because of the [Basic Copywriting Skills] Mental Method that his cultivation can still progress slowly now, but the most important thing is to find a way to improve his own qualifications.

Speaking of improving qualifications, Hua Kai first thought of the qualification pill. The reward for the family's main task of eliminating the bandits in Hutuo Mountain is the intermediate qualification pill, which can only be considered after the caravan returns to Qi.

Then there is this temporary task. As long as he helps the Ordos tribe to defend the main account, he can get ten drops of [Ten Thousand Years of Stalactites], which can also improve qualifications. Thinking of this, Hua Kai entered the [Family Secret Realm Space].

There are more than 20 prescriptions in the [Alchemy Room] that were specially selected by Hua Kai. These are the easiest pills for Hua Kai to refine based on the spiritual medicine stored in the [Alchemy Room]. The first one is [Small Return Pill].

[Small Return Pill]: First-grade ordinary pill

Refining materials required: 5 main medicine Cordyceps sinensis, 10 grams of auxiliary medicine Codonopsis pilosula, 5 grams of Ice Heart Grass, 2 grams of Thorn Flower...

Efficacy: Quickly replenish the body's true qi, and increase the recovery speed of one's own true qi by 100% after taking it.

The family luck value required for refining is 1 point.

The main ingredient of this pill is Cordyceps sinensis, which is the most common in the grassland. There are only 6 auxiliary ingredients. Except for Codonopsis pilosula, they are all cheap common medicinal materials, which can be refined on a large scale. Although [Xiao Huan Dan] cannot improve strength, it is still very useful in replenishing true qi at critical times. Hua Kai now has the most Cordyceps sinensis and blood red flower, so he asked his grandfather and uncle to bring the most medicinal materials that can be refined with these two spiritual medicines. In addition to [Xiao Huan Dan], there are [Longhu Dan], [Biqing Dan], [Juqi Dan] and other spiritual medicines in the space as the main ingredients that can be refined, and the last two pills are the focus of this time. One of the pills is called [Break Barrier Pill]. After taking it in the Qi Training Realm, there is a chance to break through the barrier of oneself. As a 4th-grade ordinary pill, this is the easiest pill to help the Tiefa tribe leader break through. However, I don't know if one of the main ingredients [Jinwu Teng] can be bought back. If it can't be bought back, then I can only refine [Shenglong Dan]. [Shenglong Pill] As a seventh-grade ordinary pill, it needs three main ingredients. Hua Kai only has one. The efficacy is much greater than [Broken Wall Pill], but unfortunately the cost is several times higher.

After looking at the pills collected in the [Alchemy Room] for a while, Hua Kai felt satisfied. He suddenly thought of the [Demon Pill] of the Ordos tribe and the [Ten Thousand Years Stalactite] reward for this mission, and wanted to see what kind of pills these two things could be made into.

Hua Kai was very excited when he saw this. There are really a few pills that can use [Demon Pill] and [Ten Thousand Years Stalactite] at the same time. Among them, there is also a pill recipe that uses the fifth-grade spiritual medicine [Rotting Bone Spirit Flower].

[Golden Body Pill]: First-grade spiritual pill

Refining materials required: one main medicine demon pill, one nether fruit, one rotten bone spirit flower, and 10 grams of termite emperor sperm eggs. Secondary medicines: 3 drops of Wannian stalactite, 10 grams of Bixuezhi, 10 grams of Lanhuangjing, 10 grams of Huaxue Teng, 10 grams of Cordyceps sinensis...

Efficacy: Strengthen bones, increase bone marrow hematopoiesis, improve body activity, have a high probability of condensing the will of gold, and slightly improve physical qualifications. Use with caution for those whose bones have not grown, those with insufficient blood and qi, and those with weak will.

Tip: After taking the Jinti Pill, the physical condition will be greatly strengthened, accompanied by strong pain. It is recommended for those above the Xiantian realm to take it.

After taking this [Jinti Pill], the flesh will be fully strengthened, even to the bone marrow. And the effect of improving qualifications is no worse than the qualification pill issued by the system.

However, among the four main medicines of this [Jinti Pill], the nether fruit is a fifth-grade spiritual medicine, and the termite emperor sperm egg is a fourth-grade spiritual medicine. There are 45 secondary medicines, and more than 10 of them are spiritual medicines. So many spiritual medicines are gathered together to refine into pills, which makes people feel terrified.

What Hua Kai didn't know was that the most valuable thing about this [Golden Body Pill] was actually the concentration of "Golden Will". You should know that the most important thing for the innate to advance to the foundation-building stage is to comprehend your own will. The innate masters who comprehend the power of the five elements are often several levels stronger than those in the same realm.

Three days passed quickly. The Hua family followed the river in front of them and went upstream on the vast grassland. After three days of training, the caravan slaves began to keep up with the team. Hua Kai has been thinking about how to train all slaves to quickly improve their loyalty to the family these days, so the caravan cultural class education began in the caravan.

With appropriate punishment and reward measures, the loyalty of the slaves who followed the caravan first in the Hua family slave team has mostly exceeded 50. Hua Kai rewarded them to become a member of the caravan. They can usually train and eat with the team members, which makes other slaves envious.

In just four days, the loyalty of the four slave teams of the Hua family increased from an average of less than 5 points to more than 20 points now. The management of the entire caravan has also become simple.

After walking for more than three days, this place has already gone out of the influence of the Huhan tribe. Hua Kai finally saw a medium-sized tribe called Heishui. This tribe has about 20,000 to 30,000 people, which is not a little worse than the Ordos tribe.

Hua Kai had prepared for the caravan to withstand the test, but he did not expect that this time the contact with the other party was unusually smooth. The other party was very enthusiastic to welcome the Hua family back to the tribe. Many important members sat with the Hua family members at night.

When they returned to the caravan at night, Wei Baotou came to the main tent with worry. Yu Jun, Hua Fu, Han Jinsheng, and Er Zhuang were also here.

"This Heishui tribe is a bit strange. We have to be careful." Wei Baotou has been a merchant for many years and is most familiar with all the tribes. He spoke first.

"The way the flag owners looked at us at the banquet just now seemed a little wrong. We have to be careful not to be cheated by them." Hua Fu also agreed.

"Then, why don't we just leave? We can find a few more small tribes and sell all these goods. We have to worry about staying here." Er Zhuang proposed with his eyes rolling.

"It's probably too late to leave now. Maybe they don't have any ill intentions towards us. If we leave now, how can they let us go so easily? Maybe we'll have to fight." Hua Kai shook his head and said.

They have been to several small tribes in the past few days. There are not many goods left in the caravan. If they fight with this tribe now, not only will the dozens of carts of goods purchased by the caravan be lost, but all 239 slaves may die. At that time, the Hua family will definitely not be able to take care of them. Even if most of the team members can escape in the end, this loss is not acceptable to Hua Kai.

"I checked tonight. There are only two people in the Qi training realm in this tribe. Their clan leader is only at the 4th level of Qi training. As long as they dare to take action, no one else will say anything, but their clan leader will definitely die." Yu Jun said softly.

At this time, it is useless to discuss too much. The caravan can only respond to changes with the same attitude. The caravan began to increase the number of patrol personnel at night, but after one night, the caravan was so quiet, with only occasional soldiers watching around the caravan.

The next morning, the Hua family caravan got up and laid out all the goods, but no herders came to pick them. It was not until noon that Hua Kai was about to close the stall and leave, when the chief of the Black Water Tribe came with dozens of soldiers.

"Master Hua, how much do these things cost?" Although the chief of the Black Water Tribe smiled, his eyes were always fixed on several core members of the caravan. He looked around the caravan stall, and everyone in the Hua family caravan stood behind Hua Kai. If a conflict occurred, they would protect Hua Kai first.

"Reply to the Black Water Chief, this is snowflake salt, 2200 bone coins per catty, 3800 bone coins per foot of silk, 8000 bone coins per catty of refined sugar... There are not many goods left, only this little, if you want all, you can get a discount." Hua Kai said as usual.

"Not expensive, the price is very suitable. I want all of these. I'll have someone take you to choose what goods you want later." The chief of the Black Water Tribe acted very normal, and the Hua family caravan was also slightly relieved at this time, as long as the transaction could be normal.

Er Zhuang organized people to start counting the goods. A total of 540 gold goods were collected, and all the goods of the Hua family were finally cleared at this moment.

"I only need to purchase spiritual medicine, horses, animal bones, and animal skins. If you have any, you can send them over." Hua Kai saw that the other chief began to have people move the goods, so he spoke out.

"No problem, wait a moment, our things will come soon, if you have anything, you can come directly to my main account to find me." The chief of the Black Water Tribe seemed very normal, and Hua Kai thought about it and let the other party leave.
