Yang Xiao and the King of Wildmen returned to Wildman Valley and summoned Wind Eagle, Shan Feng, and Tai Qi, three Elders, to explain the Skin-shedding Cultivation Method found in the cave to them.
"This is a poison recipe we personally copied from the cave," said Yang Xiao as he showed the poison formula to everyone.
The three took a glance and their faces changed when they saw the three ingredients: Flower Spotted Spider Venom, Green-skinned Two-headed Snake Venom, and Lightning Purple Mushroom. They said,
"These three are extremely toxic. We Wildmen are well aware that even a little contact can be fatal. Is this cultivation method really effective?"
The King of Wildmen laughed and said,
"We don't know either, but that's how it's written in the cave. The Wildman predecessor who wrote this also mentioned the purpose of the entire poison recipe: to make the cultivator 'die once,' be at the threshold of life and death, and through the effectiveness of the poison, to dramatically alter the body's genetic structure and thereby break through the Evolution Bottleneck."
"But this cultivation method is too dangerous, and without someone to guide us and unsure of the poison dosage, trying it rashly will only lead to certain death."
"Indeed, I have the same concerns."
All three expressed a need for caution.
The King of Wildmen nodded and said,
"To prevent the tribe from recklessly attempting this, for now, only the five of us will know about this cultivation plan and recipe. We've brought it out just for discussion. If any of you want to try it, be very careful."
Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said,
"There is a way to implement this plan."
"What way?"
The four people looked at Yang Xiao together.
"First, we gather all the ingredients from the poison recipe, mix them according to the recipe's requirements, and then, we experiment on wild beasts."
"Experiment on wild beasts?"
"Yes, we capture those wild beasts with low Evolution Bottlenecks and make them ingest our poison formula to see the effects."
Upon hearing this, Wind Eagle immediately clapped his hands and said,
"Ah, Young Master Yang's plan is good. I think it's feasible. Even if it fails, there's no danger to us."
"Alright, we'll have Young Master Yang take charge of this experiment then," Tai Qi said with a smile.
Shan Feng also expressed his support for Yang Xiao to conduct the experiment.
The three weren't interested in something that required patient and repeated experimentation. Moreover, they all had strong aversions to the three deadly poisons and were unwilling to come into contact with them.
The King of Wildmen was more cautious and said,
"Yang Xiao, you don't have to conduct this experiment. Even if you're successful with the beasts, it can't guarantee success on Wildmen. After all, humans and animals have different physiologies. We can't offer many Wildmen for your trial."
Yang Xiao nodded but insisted on conducting the experiment,
"The ancient Wildman predecessor secluded himself for decades to come up with this method. It couldn't be fake. If the experiment on beasts proves it works, then it's bound to be useful for us humans too."
Seeing Yang Xiao's determination, the King allowed him to take responsibility for the experiment and also arranged for his Wildmen to go into the forest to collect the dozen or so herbs needed for the poison recipe.
Everyone departed their own ways, but the King of Wildmen stopped Yang Xiao and laughed,
"Kid, let me see my granddaughter and you having a child before I die, okay?"
Yang Xiao: "..."
The King of Wildmen handed a small bottle to Yang Xiao,
"You've finished the medicine I gave you last time, haven't you? Now that you have three women, this medicine works well. Seven times a night, no problem, heh heh!"
Yang Xiao: "@#￥%"
In fact, the King of Wildmen's homemade aphrodisiac was mediocre and not as effective as his claim of seven times a night. Yang Xiao, in his prime, didn't need it at all.
...
Yang Xiao hadn't returned to Wildman Valley for a long time. Ah Rui, Ming Yue, and Leia all missed him very much.
Three tender and coquettish women teamed up to torment Yang Xiao for several days until they were satisfied to let him go about his business.
Yang Xiao also enjoyed the feeling of being an emperor at home, with all matters attended to by the three women.
"One week I must come home to stay for three days, heehee!"
Yang Xiao found his legs were a little wobbly.
"Alas, nowadays women are so fierce. Even the normally shy and graceful Ming Yue has changed."
.....
Chi Lin accompanied Yang Xiao for a tour around Wildman Valley to check the progress of its construction.
The Wildman Valley is now better developed thanks to the planning of Chi Lin and others, and the construction of the Defense Light Screen across the entire valley is in full swing. The construction team is a Mystical Sect's Array construction team hired by Gustone through gene trade agreements.
Yang Xiao then rode a spaceship to a mining base outside Wildman Valley and spent a few days playing with Qin Lu, Xingyun Piaoxue, Huang Mi, and others.
These three now practice the Bone Forging Technique every day alongside Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing, and others. After several months, they've made good progress. According to what they say, if they keep it up for about half a year more, they should be able to achieve Great Success with the Bone Forging Technique.
Gu Beifeng approached Yang Xiao with a new suggestion,
"Yang Xiao, we now have over a hundred mines, with nearly 20,000 Miners combined. Our location is about 200 kilometers away from Wildman City and even further from Karachi City,
and moreover, we've only begun to tap into the mineral resources here, which should be sufficient for at least the next ten years. Should we consider establishing a small town here? It would be convenient for everyone's daily leisure activities."
Yang Xiao nodded,
"This is a good idea. It'll prevent everyone from having nowhere to spend their money after they've earned it. We should indeed consider establishing a town here for dining, everyday items, brothels, mining tools, and a Miner employment market, etc. This seems like a viable plan."
No sooner said than done, Yang Xiao brought together a group of mine owners that very day to discuss the matter. Everyone thought it was a great idea.
"We should've established a town a long time ago, I've been so bored these days. If there's a brothel here, I could enjoy myself every day."
"Now even finding a place to get a haircut is hard."
"My pants are ripped, and there's nowhere to buy new clothes."
"A Miner employment market would be great; anyone in need of Miners could come here to hire workers anytime."
"And all the different mining tools."
...
Yang Xiao glanced at Xingyun Piaoxue and Qin Lu, saying:
"Since you two young masters are bored, I'm giving you a task."
"What?"
The two looked at Yang Xiao.
"Go to Karachi City and inform the owners of the brothels, casinos, Miner employment markets, and so on. Ask them if they're willing to set up branches here."
Xingyun Piaoxue was stunned,
"Why not establish our own?"
"Count me in. I'm interested too," said Qin Lu.
Yang Xiao smiled,
"Does Brother Xingyun want to run a brothel? Brother Qin, are you thinking of setting up a casino? And Brother Huang Mi, are you thinking of starting a Chess Art Hall?"
"How did you know?"
The three replied in unison, excitement showing on their faces.
Having mined here for half a year, everything else was fine, but it was terribly dull. If these lifestyle and entertainment facilities were provided, this place would become more and more prosperous.
An idea also struck Yang Xiao,
Wildman Valley needs to remain secure and mysterious, and it's inappropriate to bring Witch Star people into Wildman City,
but establishing a small town here is very suitable. Over time, as more mines open and more people come, this place will gather tens of thousands.
These people will form a powerful force, standing in defense of Wildman Valley for their own interests.
Teeth will be cold if the lips are gone!
Tightly bind the interests of these mine owners and Miners to Wildman Valley.
"If we build it, let's do it to a high standard. We'll establish a city here, bring in various service providers from Karachi City, and at the same time, we will gradually open up the mines in Wildman Valley, releasing twenty mines for operation each month."
The crowd clapped in agreement.
Immediately someone said:
"Young Master Yang, when opening new mines, we old-timers should have priority, right? After all, we've been mining here and have made substantial contributions to the construction of Wildman Valley."
"Yes, Young Master Yang, there's no need to attract business from Karachi City anymore. Just release the list of mines, and we'll be able to take them off your hands."
These mine owners had made a tidy sum from mining in Wildman Valley.
Yang Xiao nodded, not refusing, but in the end, he set a total limit, preventing any mine owner from owning more than twenty mines to avoid a monopoly that could affect future business recruitment.
"Young Master Yang, give this city a name?"
Qin Lu proposed.
Yang Xiao thought for a moment, then said:
"How about Earth Village?"
"Earth Village?"
"Yes, I'm from Earth, a beautiful planet. Since I can't return to Earth, I might as well use this name to commemorate my homeland."
"Alright, it shall be called Earth Village!"
Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing, and the others immediately applauded excitedly.
