”Yes, yes, yes.”

Subsequently, Chi Xiang took out a palm-sized Red Scale Heart Armor from his bosom and demonstrated it to Xu Jin.

It was different from what Xu Jin had imagined; it wasn’t text information.

Instead, it used the color, rhythmic pulsations, and patterns of the Red Scale Heart Armor to convey intelligence, somewhat like a codebook, but very primitive, capable of transmitting only very limited information.

For example, the warning message previously conveyed to the Fire Separation Tribe by the Royal Court was quite rudimentary.

It roughly meant that an enemy had arrived at their location and to prepare for battle—just a very simple alert.

”So, have you ever reported anything to the Royal Court?” Xu Jin narrowed his eyes as a plan began to surface.

”I haven’t! Divine Envoy, I didn’t dare, there was no time!” It seemed Chi Xiang caught something in Xu Jin’s tone and assured him fervently.

”Wait here for me.”

Xu Jin instructed before he turned and left the great hall. He crushed a Mental Awakening Pill, a Blood Replenishing Pill, and a bit of antiseptic medicine powder, mixed them with soil and blood, stirred them together, and reformed it into a black pill.

”Open your mouth!”

Chi Xiang obediently opened his mouth, trembling all over, and then Xu Jin flicked the foul-smelling pill into his mouth.

”Swallow it!”

Realizing that this might be poison, Chi Xiang’s tears fell, but he obediently swallowed it nonetheless.

Xu Jin clicked his tongue in disgust. This isn’t a Young Clan Chief at all; it’s more like a child who hasn’t grown up yet.

”What I just gave you is a poison pill of my own making, the Intestine Corrosive Pill! Feel anything?”

Xu Jin grinned, and the next moment, Chi Xiang, cursing and weeping, clung to Xu Jin’s legs, ”Divine Envoy, spare my life, whatever you ask, I’ll do, please spare me!”

Bang!

Chi Xiang was kicked away by Xu Jin, who found him revolting.

Covered in filth—shit and snot and tears—too dirty!

Disgust.

”I’m asking you, do you feel anything?”

”Yes, yes, yes! It feels like my belly is on fire, and a chill wind is drilling straight into my head! Divine Envoy, I will be very obedient, please spare my life!” Chi Xiang panicked. The feeling of being poisoned was terrifying.

Hearing this, Xu Jin nodded in satisfaction.

The burning sensation in the belly was the Star Power from a bit of Rejuvenation Pill spreading, and the cold wind going to the head was the effect of the Mental Awakening Pill.

It was good to feel something.

”Listen, this Intestine Corrosive Pill will take effect three months later. As long as you are obedient and do as I say, I’ll give you the antidote after a while, understood?”

In an instant, Chi Xiang nodded like pounding garlic.

”As long as you give me the antidote, I’ll be obedient, very obedient!”

”Good, go change your clothes, take some food, and then arrive here as quickly as you can!” Xu Jin drew a point on the map, roughly a central location, not too far from the Fire Separation Tribe, around two or three hundred miles from the Fire Element Tribe, six or seven hundred miles from the Red Scale Royal Court, and not too far from another tribe, the Fire Armor Tribe.

Xu Jin intended to use this captive Young Clan Chief, Chi Xiang, but he couldn’t fully trust him.

”Understood, I’m on it.”

”By the way, tell me, where is your tribe’s treasury? And your father, the Clan Leader, must have a private treasure trove, right?” Xu Jin asked.

”The treasury of our tribe is here, and my father does have a small hoard, which I can’t open. It’s right back there.” At this moment, Chi Xiang was truly spilling everything he knew.

Moments later, Chi Xiang led Xu Jin to a bedroom with an entrance to an underground passage. After passing through a five-meter-long tunnel, there was a heavy stone door, locked.

Chi Xiang really couldn’t open it.

But Xu Jin blew it open with one punch.

Just a slight waste of Star Power.

It was a treasure room with several dozen Star Weapons, better in quality than those Xu Jin had seen before, but still useless.

But in the next instant, Xu Jin’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Star Jade.

At least a hundred pieces of Star Jade.

Among them, there were sixteen pieces of pale-green Star Jade; even from several meters away, Xu Jin’s Mingji Star Pattern could sense the dense star power emanating from them.

The pale-green Star Jade belonged to the Earth-tier Star Jade, and to be more specific, they were Fourth-tier Green Jade.

Back in Dachen, they were the main material for forging Fourth-tier Emblems, with each piece selling for a thousand taels of gold.

”Do you produce these here?” Xu Jin asked, looking at the Star Jade.

”We do, but this green variety is extremely, extremely rare! The Royal Court demands all of it, saying it needs to be sent to the Upper Country! These have been secretly saved by my father.” Chi Xiang replied.

Xu Jin began to understand the value of this Second-tier Star Domain.

Merely the production of this Star Jade was a tremendous harvest.

In the private treasure room of the Fire Separation Tribe Clan Leader, the most valuable were these sixteen pieces of pale-green Fourth-tier Star Jade.

The other hundred or so pieces of Star Jade were mostly Human-tier, mainly Second-tier, with a small number of Third-tier.

Suddenly, Xu Jin’s gaze landed on several large chunks of metal at the edge of the treasure room.

”What are these?” The aura of this metal was very familiar to Xu Jin.

”These are Star Fallen Iron Ore, mined out and also privately hoarded by my father, but we haven’t refined it, so it’s just been stored.”

Xu Jin frowned.

This Star Fallen Iron Ore was very heavy, several chunks weighing over a hundred catties.

He just tried, and perhaps because it was still in its ore state, it couldn’t be taken to the Candou Platform.

But then, this Fire Radiant Star Domain, since it already had Star Fallen Iron Ore, could there also be refined Star Fallen Iron?

For Xu Jin, this was something urgently needed.
