Chapter 171 – Qiang Clan, Ma Clan, and Liu Clan
The giant hopea odorata tree became the center of Cao Mao's new village. Jia Shan lived in the tree trunk cave. Jia Wenhe and Ju Shoufen skillfully created brick buildings to be their private abodes, and they helped the yin slaves making a 2-story brick mansion.
Cao Mao could only gaze at his yin slaves and the two alchemist elders in envy. He requested a brick house, too, but Jia Wenhe and Ju Shoufen refused. Instead, they offered to make a house for Jia Shan, who frugally lived in a tree cave. Yet, Jia Shan declined their offer and continued to live in seclusion, saving his strength.
After moving here, Jia Shan had an inspiration. He planned to recultivate from the beginning while keeping his nascent soul. The elder started refining his muscle the same way when he was a 1st stage newbie.
