Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Sky Sect
However, the surprises for Ethan weren't just from Amelia.
Julian, the blacksmith, wasn't left behind either.
Though he had lost an arm, it wasn't a dead end for a Psychic.
On the day he married Mary, the Rodriguez family gifted him a prosthetic limb, an arm that could be easily maneuvered with psychic power, though it had its drawbacks. The silver limb was somewhat unsightly and couldn't perform psychic actions, consuming psychic power with every movement.
But this was enough for Julian to continue crafting psychic equipment!
[Your descendant Julian has forged a mid-grade psychic equipment set from 'Azure Stone', 'Heavy Sand', 'Gale Tiger Bones', and 'Gale Tiger Inner Alchemy' using the Black Iron Beast Blood Armor Suit!]
"Done, hahaha!"
After crafting his first set of mid-grade psychic equipment, Julian couldn't wait to report the good news at the shrine, "Forebearer, although we only have one Gale Tiger, as long as I keep working hard to find materials from Emerging Ability period beasts, I can continue to forge mid-grade psychic equipment!"
Looking at the freshly made set of equipment, Ethan nodded slightly.
It must be said, if a person has a bit of talent and pursues a hobby, success comes quite easily.
Julian was just such a person.
Look how happy the kid is... like he's gotten married again.
"Right, and the bodies of the Sunrise Beast, the Hundred-Eyes Demon Spider, and those experts buried under the beast blood fruit trees in Forest Town, soon they'll be reduced to bones, and I can use them to craft psychic equipment, hahaha!"
Hearing this, Ethan didn't find it strange at all, as using human bones to craft psychic equipment was quite normal.
Soon, Ethan's attention turned to the armory in Gratitude Village.
With Blackwood and Gratitude Village acquiring a lot of spoils of war, they were rapidly developing every day.
In Gratitude Village, there were already over a dozen psychic equipment craftsmen, all Julian's apprentices.
He gradually realized that one person crafting psychic equipment was always limited in energy, and began to cultivate a force for Blackwood to craft psychic equipment.
...
"Huh? They're starting to cultivate psychic fields already?"
Ethan was surprised as he watched the game screen.
Originally, Gratitude Village was all farmland, raising livestock as well.
But after the battle, only a portion of these farms remained, just enough to meet daily needs. The rest of the land had been cleared, and Ethan watched as the villagers of Gratitude Village buried Energy Stones in the ground.
And some newcomers were drawing formations on the fields!
Looking at the event bar, Ethan finally understood why.
[After the great battle, Gratitude Village faced a shortage of labor, and since there was no longer a need to worry about food, Nathan decided to stop farming. He found a method from the spoils of war to plant psychic rice from Gonzalez, and hired a formation master from the county town to cultivate psychic fields.]
[One acre of psychic field requires ten thousand Energy Stones and can operate for ten years.]
[Your descendants have used 300,000 Energy Stones to cultivate 30 acres of psychic fields.]
Nathan had consulted him about this.
Psychic fields also exist on Earth, producing rice and corn filled with psychic energy, which can enhance physical strength and prolong life!
Ordinary people live less than a hundred years, but if they regularly eat psychic rice, their lifespan can reach over 120 years.
It can also slightly increase the speed of cultivating psychic powers.
This stuff is usually eaten by the wealthy, and it was perfect timing to use the massive amount of Energy Stones obtained from Garcia and Gonzalez to cultivate psychic fields, whether for sale or personal use.
"Once the family makes more money, it would be great if Gratitude Village was all psychic fields."
Clearly, thirty acres of psychic fields were not enough for Ethan's appetite.
Then Ethan continued to watch the event bar.
[Gratitude Village's villager Steven, advanced to the first level of Foundational Energy!]
[Villager Tate, advanced to the first level of Foundational Energy, your descendant Olivia rewarded him with the 'Body Forging Technique'.]
[Villager...]
Meanwhile, in a courtyard in Gratitude Village, Olivia was sitting under a peach tree, with villagers of Gratitude Village lining up in front of her.
"Miss Fourth, this is this year's tax silver."
"Is it from Gonzalez? Last year your family's Steven was sacrificed in Forest Town, so you don't need to pay tax silver. Here, your family has two children, go and get a copy of the 'Body Forging Technique'."
"Thank you, Miss Fourth."
"Next."
"Miss Fourth, I'm applying to join the guard squad, I've become Iron Will."
"Application denied, your Liu family only has you left. Here's what, you go be a coach first, teach the village kids to cultivate psychic powers, with medicinal soup as your salary, which can speed up your cultivating psychic powers. Once you have children, then apply again."
"Thank you, Miss Fourth."
"Next..."
After becoming an Emerging Ability, Nathan had clearly become a strategic master and hardly showed himself, leaving many matters to Olivia.
But this was normal for the family, as masters always need to stay hidden.
They often spent their time cultivating psychic powers, while also keeping a trump card for the family.
However, entrusting the family to Olivia was clearly the right choice.
Under Olivia's arrangements, both Gratitude Village and Blackwood could develop so peacefully and steadily, with everything well-planned.
...
[Blackwood 35 Years.]
[A Daoist from Sky Sect in Tranquil City passed through Gratitude Village and happened to see Marcus, who was training in combat with a beast. Impressed by Marcus, who at 14 was already at the peak of Foundational Energy level five and had mastered marksmanship, he wanted to take him as a disciple.]
"Sky Sect, huh?"
Ethan raised an eyebrow.
In the game world, Forest Town is like a beginner's village, while Tranquil City is a county town, governing thirteen towns beneath it.
This world isn't just about families; there are also sects.
