Legion

"Xuan Gang, you're so good. This is a gift from your Nineteenth Uncle. Let me put it on you."

Yang Tianyou smiled, took out a White Jade Bangle, and put it on Yang Xuangang's chubby little hand.

"You should thank your Nineteenth Uncle," said Yang Tianwang.

"Thank you, Nineteenth Uncle," Yang Xuangang said in a childish voice.

"Oh, right, Xuanli got one too. This is Protective Necklace made by your aunt. I was thinking of giving it to you sometime when I had the chance, but I didn't expect to run into you today," Yang Tianyou said with a smile.

Then he handed the necklace to Yunhua and asked her to put it on the little girl.

Yang Xuanli was overjoyed to receive the gift. After sweetly saying thank you, she skipped and hopped back to her parents' side.

Around the round table, Yang Tianyou, Yang Lihe, and Yang Tianwang sat together, chatting and laughing.

Yunhua, Yang Tianyun, Feng Yueling, and other female relatives sat together chatting.

Yang Xuanli was teasing Xiao Xuangang, occasionally pinching the latter's soft and smooth little face, having a great time.

"Nineteenth Younger Brother, it's perfect to see you here. I won't report to the Lineage separately; I'll just tell you directly," Yang Lihe said with a smile, taking a sip of the Spirit Wine on the table.

"Oh? Fifth brother-in-law, is there something important?"

"The senior Shengyuan Life-Origin Fruit Tree in the Spirit Medicine Garden is about to break through to the Third Tier within a year. I'm thinking of applying to the Lineage for some resources to help Senior Shengyuan achieve that breakthrough."

"Oh? You mean that Life-Origin Fruit Tree that was transplanted from the Poisonous Marsh Jungle? But I remember it was only Second-Tier Upper-Grade -grade tree. Is it about to break through to the Third Tier so quickly? Isn't it said that the Tree Demon Race cultivates very slowly?" Yang Tianyou asked with some doubt.

Yang Tianwang interjected, "With good food and drink, they'll naturally be plump and strong, just like the carnivorous spirit Spirit Beasts we raise in the Beast Taming Hall. With adequate feed, their growth cycle can be shortened by more than half!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Lihe smiled and said, "Fifteenth Brother's analogy is quite apt. However, in my opinion, besides the abundant supply of resources, the talent of Senior Shengyuan himself should also be considered among the top tier of the Tree Demon Race."

"Tree Demon with extraordinary talent?" Yang Tianyou rubbed his fingers against his wine glass, recalling the first time he saw this spirit more than twenty years ago.

In the Poisonous Marsh Jungle, among so many Tree Demons, only this one is capable of nurturing precious Spirit Fruits of the same grade.

Furthermore, the Life-Origin Fruit Tree can also command other Tree Demon, which could explain this phenomenon if it already possesses extraordinary talent.

Thinking of this, Yang Tianyou slightly raised his eyes and said, "In that case, let's allocate 500,000 Spirit Stones for the breakthrough of the Life-Origin Fruit Tree. How these Spirit Stones are used is entirely up to you, Fifth Brother-in-law."

"In that case, thank you very much, Nineteenth Younger Brother!" Yang Lihe said with a smile.

"We're acting according to the Lineage rules, no need for thanks," Yang Tianyou waved his hand, then asked, "If the Life-Origin Fruit Tree is Tribulation Transcendence, is it convenient to come to Wolf Pool? If it Tribulation Transcendence in the Spirit Medicine Garden, will the aftershocks of the Tribulation Lightning damage the other spirit medicine?"

Yang Lihe thought for a moment and said, "Senior Shengyuan doesn't like to move, and it's used to staying in the Spirit Medicine Garden. Going to the Wolf Pool might actually affect its Tribulation Lightning."

As for accidentally destroying other spirit medicine, that is indeed a problem, but I think that as long as we make proper arrangements in advance to block the aftershocks of the Tribulation Lightning, it will be fine.

The only concern is that the Formations within the Spirit Medicine Garden are intricate; those who are not proficient in this art will find it difficult to manage.

"You can go to your Tenth Brother and ask him to help set up some Formations. His Formation formations is second to none in the Lineage, only after your Nineteenth Younger Brother," Yang Tianwang said again.

"But my tenth brother spends all his time holed up in the valley studying Formations. He says that when things get really critical, he won't open the door for anyone except the Old Ancestor and my Nineteenth Younger Brother. Oh, and by the way, my Nineteenth Younger Brother's Bonded Spirit Beast, Tongming, can also freely enter and leave my tenth brother's secluded valley," Yang Lihe said with a wry smile.

"That's Yunhua how Tenth Brother is; he's called a formation fanatic for a reason. How about this, we won't bother him any longer. Let Tenth Brother make a trip when he has time," Yang Tianyou said with a smile.

"That's fine, but won't it take up my Nineteenth Younger Brother's time?"

"No, don't worry, Fifth Brother-in-law. For Yunhua, setting up this Formation won't take long. Don't forget, she's Third-Tier Middle-Grade Formation Master."

"That's true. Most of the Formations in the Spirit Medicine Garden are only first or second-tier, so they're really nothing to my Nineteenth Younger Brother."

With that problem solved, Yang Tianyou looked at Yang Tianwang and asked with a smile, "I heard that Fifteenth Brother has been researching how to cultivate War Beasts recently. How's it going? Any results?"

"I have some ideas, but the fundamental direction still depends on how the Lineage's Purple Moon Legion develops—offensive, defensive, speed-oriented, or all-around. Only then can the Beast Taming Hall consider the direction of its War Beast training." Yang Tianwang looked at Yang Tianyou, his eyes filled with excitement.

He was a warmonger and had always been extremely interested in things like building legions.

"The Lineage has decided to establish the Purple Moon Legion. This is an extremely long journey. After all, even those Sacred Land- level sects don't have many organized armies of cultivators, let alone our Yang Household." Yang Tianyou said this first.

He then continued, "Our plan with the Old Ancestor is to establish five squads within twenty years. Each squad will have twenty people, totaling one hundred. As for the development direction, we'll choose an all-around approach. Although there's a risk of becoming mediocre, if developed well, this type of legion has the greatest potential."

"And these War Beasts, Fifteenth Brother, don't worry. Legion training needs to start from childhood. Right now, the Lineage's cultivators can become generals, but not soldiers. War Beasts are for soldiers."

In the Cultivation World, Cultivator Legion is not simply a group of Cultivators gathered together to fight simultaneously.

The Cultivator legions nurtured by truly ancient forces must have their cultivation programs tailored to them from the age of six, or even from birth.

Cultivation Method, diet, ideology, fighting style, weapons used, Battle Armor, War Beasts, Battle Formations, and so on.

All of these need to be closely integrated and unified, and then tempered by fire and baptized by war, only then can they become a true army of Cultivators.

The latter's strength will definitely not disappoint anyone.

According to general rules, a Cultivator army of a hundred people, if each soldier is at the Late Qi Refinement Refining, can fight against Golden Core cultivator by combining their strength with the power of the Battle Formation.

For ordinary Cultivators, let alone a hundred, even a thousand Late Qi Refinement Refining cultivators would be no match for Golden Core Cultivator.

But the legions are different; they move, sit, and lie as one, so an attack that hits one person is distributed among all of them...

Take the Blackblood Army of Blackblood City as an example. This army is far from being a legion, yet the combat power of its thousand soldiers is comparable to that of Late Golden Core cultivator. One can imagine how powerful a true Cultivator Legion would be.

In conclusion, the establishment of legions is extremely necessary for major powers.

Because this is different from cultivating strong individuals. With a legion-based system, as long as there are resources and a sufficient reserve of Cultivators, it is possible to support them.

Of course, the cost of training a legion is extremely high. At least once this small legion of one hundred people is formed, the cost will be no less than 500,000 Spirit Stones. After that, the Lineage will need to contribute a considerable amount of Spirit Stones every year to maintain it.
