Chapter 58 Black Wind Village
As Lin Tian's forces of demons grew, the original stronghold became increasingly inadequate, so Lin Tian decided to rebuild a new stronghold.
Later, Lin Tian moved to the outside of the Spider Mine. There was a river not far away, and the forest in front of it had been cleared by the little demons to make room for a large open space. He established a base there. Because it was backed by the Spider Mine, it was very convenient to collect spiritual energy ore.
Lin Tian had several hundred lesser demons under his command, and they quickly established a reasonably decent stronghold.
Looking at the size of the base, Lin Tian instinctively wanted to give this place a name.
Aside from some sycophantic naming suggestions, the little demons came up with three names.
The little wolf demons suggested calling it Wolf Village, since it had the most wolf demons here, but the Snake Patrolman and the little frogs disagreed, saying they weren't wolf demons and shouldn't be called Wolf Village.
Although the Serpent Patrol is small in number, it is quite powerful.
As the second most numerous race in the village, the Little Frogs naturally have a considerable voice.
The Snake Patrolman suggested calling it Snake Village, while Little Frog suggested calling it Frog Village, and the three sides argued fiercely.
The little ginseng spirit, the little mushroom king, and the crow sage, among other demons, didn't care about the village name; they would support whoever won.
The bony figure didn't care about the name; he just kept a close eye on them, advising them to compete rationally, fearing they might start fighting over a quarrel.
The final decision on the village's name was made by Guangmou, the most intelligent of the demons.
He said that since everyone was a little demon from Black Wind Mountain, let's call it Black Wind Village!
The suggestion was ultimately accepted by all the little demons... Actually, it was Lin Tian who asked them to finalize it as soon as possible, and this name was the one that everyone accepted the most.
Later, a sign was erected inside the stronghold, with the words "Black Wind Village" written crookedly on it.
This time, it's not just about building houses, but about developing a real base, with houses, warehouses, work areas, and even livestock and planting areas!
The original purpose of establishing the pastoral area was for the ever-expanding tribe, well... that's probably the right way to put it. By taming some wild beasts, they could not only obtain food but also acquire spiritual energy. Why not?
Moreover, in addition to ordinary animals, there are also extraordinary lives in the pastoral areas.
It was a huge black-haired wild boar. By forcing it to mate with other sows, the sows became pregnant, and the offspring born were much stronger than ordinary piglets!
The black-haired wild boar initially resisted, but under the threat of force, it became docile. The black-haired wild boar had no affection for its own kind, and with good food and drink provided every day, it naturally became a happy breeding boar!
As for the planting area, it was proposed by the little ginseng spirit. They and the little fungus were originally plant spirits, and their sensitivity to certain special spiritual plants was very strong. As an ecosystem with extremely rich ecology, the Black Forest naturally had a variety of spiritual plants.
Therefore, the little ginseng spirit suggested that an area be set aside within the stronghold for cultivating spiritual plants. Spiritual plants have many benefits; consuming them can nourish the body and make it stronger, and they can also be converted into spiritual essence in the system to directly generate benefits.
Moreover, through the little ginseng spirit's skill, these spiritual plants can be made into various medicines, just like the wound-healing potions used by Elder Vi and his group before.
The Little Ginseng Essence can be used to make even more: medicines to heal injuries, enhance strength, increase speed, and even restore mental energy. You see, Lin Tian relies on mental energy to cast spells, so with this medicine, he won't have to wait for his mental energy to recover on its own.
Now the roles of Little Mushroom and Little Ginseng Spirit become apparent. Although they are not good at fighting, they are still extremely beneficial to the overall development and improvement.
"Old man ginseng, give me some vitality powder!"
A wolf demon slammed a stack of special currency onto the table of the spirit plant shop, hands on his hips as if he were about to do something big!
Demon coins are a type of currency issued in Black Wind Village, suggested by Guangmou and tacitly approved by Lin Tian. The currency is divided into three types: the primary currency depicting a wolf demon, the intermediate currency depicting a little frog, a little ginseng spirit, a little fungus, and a bony figure, and finally, the advanced currency depicting a crow sage and a snake patrol officer.
The conversion ratios are as follows:
100 Wolf Coins = 10 Four Demon Coins = 1 Crow Snake Coin
Obviously, this plan was met with protests from the wolf demons as soon as it was introduced. Why were they the lowest-level currency? In terms of strength, they could not even beat the two high-level ones, but several mid-level ones could not beat them. Why were they mid-level while they were low-level?
That's right, I'm talking about you, little frog!
Come out and fight me one-on-one!
However, Guangmou eventually stopped the wolf demons who wanted to fight Xiaoguagua one-on-one, and appeased them by saying that as the cornerstone of Black Wind Village, they should also be the cornerstone of Black Wind Village's currency.
This statement made the wolf demons very proud, and they would ask any demon they met, "Do you know the basic logic of demon coins? Do you know the value of Black Wind Village and the dual foundation of demon coins?" Their mouths were practically drooping to the sky!
After hunting, the little demons would take their prey to the warehouse to exchange for demon coins. Sometimes, Lin Tian would also reward the little demons with some demon coins.
In Black Wind Village, demon coins are generally used in two ways: one is to exchange them for some delicious food, and the other is, like this little demon, to exchange them for some prepared medicines at the spirit plant shops run by the little ginseng spirits.
For example, this Vitality Powder, when applied to wounds, can accelerate recovery. There is also a Longevity Powder, which can permanently enhance one's physique, making one stronger and stronger.
No one would refuse to become stronger!
"Ten wolf coins."
"Holy crap! It was only 7 Wolf Coins a few days ago!"
Looking at the wolf demon with wide eyes before her, the little ginseng spirit showed no panic, but slowly said:
"Scarcity drives up prices; when there's less stock, the price naturally goes up!"
Seeing his reaction, the little wolf demon had no choice but to curse after paying:
"You heartless ginseng spirits, you exploit us little wolf demons every day! I curse you to be beaten 200 times in the underworld!"
Faced with the little wolf demon's curses, the little ginseng spirit remained calm and leisurely replied:
"First of all, I am a plant spirit and have no heart! Secondly, I am the king's subordinate and will not go to the underworld."
Watching the little wolf demon run away in anger, the little ginseng spirit calmly stroked his beard and said with considerable experience:
"Young man...you are still too young!"
Putting away the demon coins, the little ginseng spirit watched the little demons running out of the village, a thought rising in its mind.
The demand for Vitality Powder seems to be very high lately. Should we raise the price a little?
