Chapter 114: Summoning the clansmen

All the structures now glowed as their unique energies soaked the air.

Various courtyards and apartments with 5 to 6 floors each could be seen dotted throughout the surroundings.

To the north was an alchemy workshop with a small amount of fire energy all over the building.

This energy was being contained using a formation that ensured any heat or noise from the hall wouldn't disturb others in the subspace.

However, this doesn't mean there are no safety precautions for the alchemists, as they are under the watchful eye of the elder in charge of the building.

He will ensure the Alchemy Tower produces pills for the family and prevent any major accidents.

In addition, Li Xinyue, who can use the main formation, can teleport anyone if needed but that will only happen when it is the last choice.

Similarly, the Refinement Hall and Dao Comprehension Pavilion have protective measures, but the Dao Comprehension Pavilion has additional protection against the laws.

The family needs these protective measures because, even with the Family Sign Token, which can protect the soul and be used to bring it back, recreating the body requires many resources.

The requirements increase as the clansmen's talent and realm increase, making this method not economical at their current novice stage.

Moreover, such incidents could affect the loyalty of the clansmen and their families, causing doubts about the clan's ability to protect them in the real world if they can't do so in their own territory.

The Beast Mountain ground was west of the main building, with only one building nearby. This building houses the elder who watches over the Beast Mountain along with the caretakers.

This building also serves as the check-in place for all the clansmen, so the caretakers can track the number of people inside without asking the elders.

This is because a powerful formation array is set up around the mountain to keep the temperature stable, along with a concealment formation to ensure no information about the clansmen leaks.

This is because the people summoned using these cards never have mid-rank physiques or talents.

So, they are usually employed by others to work for them, and although some might not like this, they have no other choice.

Their talents and physiques aren't good enough to cultivate without a huge amount of resources, which they lack.

He activates the card by channeling his spirit qi into it, and it begins to glow with a dim, metallic light.

The air around him shimmers and many people appear before him. As the light slowly fades out, hundreds of men and women are dressed in simple but clean servant attire.

The people are primarily middle-aged and have no noticeable features other than an eager look as they all bow.

"Hello, Master," they say in unison.

They have strong bodies, and although their talents aren't exceptional, they have the potential to be loyal and hardworking family members.

Xu Qianghua nods in approval. "Relax," he says, his voice firm yet kind "And welcome to the Xu family". The servants return to a straight position with eager smiles, ready to fulfill their duties.

Xu Qianghua then instructs them to stand to the side as he pulls out a group of Bronze cards.

Similar to the Black-Iron cards, Bronze cards only summon groups of people because they become the second lowest in the quality list.

This card is slightly more powerful than the Black Iron card, and he knows it will summon a more skilled group of individuals. The card glows with a warm, bronze light as he activates it.

So, the Bronze-ranked people are usually the captains of the servants, but there have been cases where a few people who were summoned using this card have a high-level physique and talent.

But those are rare cases, so when he used the cards, he did not have any expectations and just hoped for a stable group of captains to lead the Black Iron summons.
