Yi Yun could not go into conflict w

Yi Yun could not go into conflict with the upper echelons of the Lian tribal clan. He may be able to get rid of Zhao Tiezhu, but he was still no match for people like the Patriarch or Lian Chengyu.

The herbal essence absorbed by the Purple Crystal quickly entered his bloodstream, circulating through Yi Yun’s body. It made him feel his a warmness in his channels. His body grew warmer and his face turned pinkish.

Yi Yun felt his body light with euphoria.

Yi Yun’s appearance looked pathetic to the crowd. His face was red, and his limbs were limp. It must have been a result of Zhao Tiezhu’s reprimanding.

“Poor kid. He’s so young. He’s being singled out because he opposed Zhao Tiezhu on the day of the ration distributions”

“This kid sure has a bitter life. His mother died shortly after they arrived in the Lian tribe. He’s weak and prone to illnesses. He has no strength, he won’t be able to resist Zhao Tiezhu.”

“What’s up with the people from the warrior preparation camp using the village. You guys think Young master Lian Chengyu will really bring us into the city?”

“Shh, don’t speak nonsense. If the people from the warrior preparation camp hear it, you’ll be in shit luck!”

“I think this kid will get fixed to death sooner or later…”

It was common for people to fall to their deaths when picking herbs up in the mountains. The more expensive a herb, the higher it was. Yi Yun must have climbed up high. risking his life to hand over such high grade herbs. He was doomed to fall to his death going forward.

But so what if someone died in the Lian tribal clan? The lives of the people here were worthless.

…

Late at night, the moon hung in the sky like a silver hook.

In the Lian Patriarch’s drug room, a few men were fanning the flames made from a large pile of timber under a big pot.

A few old men from the drug room were carefully arranging the herbs. They began brewing the herbal medicine made of several combinations of herbs and supplementary drugs.

The supplement drugs and heat were confidentially passed down in the Lian tribal clan. It was not to be known to the commoners. For if they knew how, they could secretly pick herbs and brew it for themselves.

The upper echelons of the Lian tribal clan felt that using herbs on the commoners was the same as using good grain to feed the pigs. It was useless.

Even the members of the warrior preparation camp did not have a chance to soak their body in herbs.

The herbal stew that was carefully brewed was specially for Lian Chengyu.

“Good! Good! You did well this time. There were several good herbs collected!

The Patriarch was very satisfied after looking at the herb roster.

“This is expected of little me,” said Zhao Tiezhu nodded with a fawning smile. “It was ordered by the Patriarch and it concerns the future of Young master Lian, little me would never dare to fail to comply. The moment I left the training grounds, little me ran to the herb mountain to supervise the picking of herbs. Even the cowardly ones had to climb up the cliffs. As such we had good luck finding the Black Fungus and Dan Guo.”

Zhao Tiezhu took all the credit from Yi Yun.

“Not bad! You worked hard. Go to the warehouse and collect a pound of meat,” the Patriarch patted Zhao Tiezhu on his shoulders.

“Thank you Patriarch!” said Zhao Tiezhu happily.

“Yes, do well. When Chengyu becomes a kingdom warrior, he will be in need of errand runners. If you are wise, you can get the appreciation of Chengyu. If you can be by his side, when Chengyu soars, you will definitely reap some of the benefits.”

“Thank you Patriarch for his kind words!” Zhao Tiezhu knelt down kowtowing. He was inexplicably excited.

That kid Yi Yun was his lucky star. He didn’t expect that little minion to be that good at picking herbs. In the future, he’ll give him benefits like a tiny bit of herbal dreg and some rations. That poor kid will be so thankful receiving that tiny amount and will do everything as his slave horse!

Zhao Tiezhu walked off as he dreamed of his bright future, commanding the masses in the big city.
