Encountering the White Ape Again

The Great Wilderness was home to Fierce Beasts and Demon Beasts.

Fierce Beasts followed their instincts and did not cultivate; their strength was entirely determined by their innate traits. Demon Beasts cultivated methods of longevity. They possessed innate talents and could also grow stronger faster through cultivation.

Fierce Beasts tainted by Baleful Qi were called Baleful Fiends, while Demon Beasts tainted by Baleful Qi were known as Baleful Demons.

Just after the start of spring, Feng Xu and the others headed east, marking every place of concealed Baleful Qi they discovered along the way.

Time was tight, and they had no time to clear out these nests.

"Iron Pillar, why are you so determined to return to the Eastern Wilderness with me?"

After marking a nest, Feng Xu asked curiously.

"I heard Qu Shan say that the food in your hometown is delicious, with all sorts of ways of preparing it that I've never seen before. It made my mouth water, and I've wanted to go taste it for a long time."

Iron Pillar scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Fine. I'll make sure you eat your fill when we get there."

Feng Xu chuckled.

"Feng Xu, how much grain does the Eastern Wilderness have? Is there enough to share with the people of the Central Wilderness?"

Dashan was still worried. Ever since those children had gone to the lord's territory, food had been getting consumed like water.

"Don't worry. Before I left, the Eastern Wilderness produced twenty million jin of grain each season. I told them to continue reclaiming land before I departed, so there should be quite a bit in storage."

"Good heavens, twenty million jin per season?!"

Iron Pillar could hardly believe it. That was enough to feed the entire Central Wilderness Tribe for a year.
