Chapter Seventy-Five: A New Home
It took more than two months, and the construction of the new home of the Ice Clan people has begun to take shape, although some infrastructure still needs to be improved, but the Ice City on the top of the Snow Hidden Peak is the first to be completed.
There are many houses in the Ice City, and the most central location is a pool made of hot springs leading from the cave, although it does not have the effect of a yang spring, but its gentle heat nourishes many medicinal herbs, and it has become a garden in the heart of the city.
Bing Xuan and Qiu Die accompanied the old princess to live on the highest platform in the ice city, where there is a sightseeing platform, where there is a vigorous momentum of "seeing all the mountains at a glance".
Bing Xuan arranged for the high-ranking and elders of the clan to live in the castle, and there was a special council hall in the castle, which was the highest authority of the Ice Clan, and every day, I don't know how many decrees would be issued from here.
On the mountainside of Xueyin Peak, several high-rise buildings have been built, and all the food and accommodation problems for the children participating in the training retreat here are covered. In front of the building is a wide training ground, in the center of the field, there is a high platform, which is a field used for competition, and a strong protective formation is engraved around the high platform. If the normal design is followed, a medicinal field will be reclaimed after the high-rise building, and all kinds of rare medicinal herbs will be planted there. Therefore, Bing Xuan specially approved an entire floor of buildings for the clan to set up a special pharmacist institute and alchemy hall, so as to facilitate the clan's professionals like little fat men to engage in R&D and manufacturing here.
Within the Ice Clan, a special mining team has also been set up to explore for rare mineral deposits in the Amethyst Mountains, which can be used to make powerful weapons and armor and various living facilities. The thick and sturdy bricks used in the Ice City were made from the blackstone deposits they found.
After Bing Xuan's home was basically completed, he followed the guidance of everyone and visited the four sub-peaks respectively. Although the buildings on the four mountains are not as magnificent as those on the Xueyin Peak, they are simple and unique. On top of the four mountains, each has built its own farmland and pasture, and now, the newly planted seeds have sprouted tender green shoots. There is also a simple training ground built on top of the four mountains, which is convenient for some adults to strengthen their bodies.
Due to the limited conditions of Xueyin Peak, and to maintain the consumption needs of the elite in the clan, the high-level of the Ice Clan also decided to order the four mountains to pay tribute to grain and meat on time, and the clansmen did not have the slightest objection to this, after all, it was because of Bing Xuan that the Ice Clan people lived such a happy life, and their children were also able to further their cultivation in Xueyin Peak.
The clan has also set up a special guard patrol team to take on the guard duty on the periphery of the four mountains. Of course, these practices are somewhat useless, after all, there are many demon beasts gathered outside the four mountains. However, this act of the clan gave the civilians a sense of peace of mind, and perhaps they felt that only in this way could they have a true sense of belonging.
Now that the Ice Clan has its own territory, Bing Xuan's heart finally has a moment of calm. The Shadow Guards are still busy searching for the lost Clansmen and leading them back to their homeland where they belong to the Ice Clan.
During this time, Bing Xuan did not deliberately cultivate anymore. Every day, I just accompany Qiu Die to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and occasionally I take the old princess with her, which also makes her mood much brighter.
In his spare time, Bing Xuan would ask the giant ape and the fire beast for advice on cultivation insights, although the way of demon beasts and human cultivation were very different, and Bing Xuan still took the mage route. However, the path of cultivation will eventually lead to the same end, which still has some reference for Bing Xuan.
Half a year later, the Ice Clan ushered in the first Holy Ice Festival of their new homeland. Up and down the family, the atmosphere was particularly jubilant. People live in a paradise where food and clothing are safe, and safety is guaranteed. The middle and high-level members of the clan originally passed a resolution to hold a wedding ceremony for Bing Xuan and Qiu Die on the day of the Holy Ice Festival, but Bing Xuan refused. He had his own ideas, and now that his strength had regained, he decided to go to the elven territory soon to find his father's whereabouts. In his heart, he hoped that his family could be held in the presence of his father, whom he had never met. The middle and high-ranking members of the clan were all silent and agreed to Bing Xuan's decision, and Qiu Die also knew the pain in Bing Xuan's heart and gladly accepted his decision.
On the day of the Holy Ice Festival, many characteristics of the ice city were recreated. Lifelike ice sculptures stand everywhere, and even ice sculptures that look like giant apes and fire-stampers are placed in the open space in front of the Ice City. The two beasts did not have the slightest objection, they felt that this was their highest honor.
People put down all the work at hand and focused on celebrating, all kinds of unique delicacies of the Ice Clan continued to be transported from the four mountains, gathered on the Snow Hidden Peak, and the Ice Clan people also regarded the monsters around them as their relatives and friends, and generously distributed their own delicacies to them. All of a sudden, all the beasts roared in unison.
Powerful beings like giant apes and fire-stamping beasts could not resist the temptation of food, and they sat directly in the open space in front of the castle, enjoying the people's offerings. Especially for those who came here last, when their lives were in danger, it was the two beasts who rushed to the rescue and arranged for the beasts to escort them here. In the hearts of these people, the two beasts are like gods, and their status can even be compared to Bing Xuan.
With good food, of course, there are also celebratory ceremonies. The celebration ceremony of the Holy Ice Festival, which has been passed down from ancient times to the Ice Clan, is also carried out on the top of Xueyin Peak, and the different forms of clothing and decoration alone require a lot of manpower and material resources to complete. The clansmen who had returned in recent years had thoroughly displayed all the tedious rituals in front of Bing Xuan, which he had never seen in the small mountain village. After all, the once weak mountain village still didn't have the strength to complete this ritual.
At noon, Bing Xuan was at the highest point of the castle, relying on the support of his strong spiritual power, and sent a short congratulatory message to the whole clan. Although most of the clansmen were celebrating on the four mountains, Bing Xuan's voice could resound in everyone's minds. At this moment, the Amethyst Mountain Range was unusually calm, and everyone was listening carefully to Bing Xuan's congratulations.
After a brief lull, the cheers erupted again from the four mountains. The people of the Sishan tribe ran to congratulate each other, made relatives and friends, and gathered together to celebrate this festive day. The people who repeatedly transported and distributed the ingredients also worked tirelessly, willingly running between the four mountains and the Snow Hidden Peak.
In the largest banquet room in Ice City, all the high-level members of the Ice Clan arrived. Everyone gathered together to accompany the old princess and Bingxuan through this boiling day. The branch leaders of the four mountains also raised their glasses to Bing Xuan one by one, and after congratulating them, they expressed their plans and beautiful prospects for the future of their subordinate territories.
Bing Xuan is also kind to clink glasses with them one by one, this is a group of lovely people, looking at their germinated fighting spirit and never admit defeat mentality, Bing Xuan's heart is also warm and satisfied.
The old patriarch and the four elders of the original clan also drank more and more, and they felt as if they had returned to their youth at this moment, and they no longer cared about their old bodies. Even Qiu Die couldn't dissuade the old patriarch's seemingly crazy move.
Bing Xuan had to focus on this group of old children, and accompanied them cordially to miss the beautiful feelings of the beginning and feel their heroic youth.
On the wine table, after drinking for a long time, people gradually relaxed their restraints, and began to hook their shoulders one by one, comparing the amount of wine.
Along with the wine, a band also came to the banquet room, and they still used the unique instruments of the Ice Clan to play soothing and brisk music.
Seeing the wonderful performance of the dance team that followed, some cheerful women no longer controlled themselves, and walked onto the dance floor one by one and danced to their heart's content. The drunken Bingxuan was also pulled away from those elders by Qiu Die, stepped onto the dance floor, and blended into the cheerful atmosphere.
