96 Attribute of Spiritual Energy I (1/2)

The next morning dawned and the refugees got up early and ready to travel to a completely new province. Li Yuechan led them to the town square in orderly fashion, with the other sisters assigned to keeping the middle organized and the to bring up the rear.

Li Yuechan arrived at the teleportation platform and organized the first group. She collected the gold from ten refugees and paid the teleportation operator. The ten people quickly arranged themselves on the platform and they were whisked away in an instant. The next group of ten immediately followed, then the next... Li Yuechan kept up the rapid pace as they only had a small time slot.

The first thing the refugees saw upon arriving at the other end was Song Wushuang's familiar face. She had gone back before anyone to coordinate with the Zhou clan. After being herded off the platform, the group was met with a Zhou clan member who recorded their names while guiding them to temporary lodging within the town. Various empty rooms in the town had been rented for this purpose as well as thousands of new tents that stood along the streets. After settling in, they could visit the shops and markets to buy food, supplies, clothes, and anything else they needed.

Each family or independent individual were given a set of choices for their future home based on their skill set. People with education and scholarly skills such as accounting, business, alchemy, and medicine were given the widest choices. Craftsmen such as tailors, smiths, chefs, and carpenters had some choice as well. Laborers such as farmers, hunters, and miners were simply assigned a place since it didn't really matter where they went.

The entire operation had been set up with an abundance of planning. Song Wushuang was amazed as she watched the Zhou people work with precision and efficiency. As the last of the refugees came through, the final tally was slightly over four thousand including men, women, children, and the elderly. The other sisters also came back and stood with her, looking down at the amazing work taking place.

Right one cue, the teleportation array flashed behind them and Chen Wentian appeared.

”Hey girls!” He smiled.

”Good morning, master!” They bowed.

”Hey, looks like the operation is going well.” He said, finding interest in the mass movement of people as well.

”So many people, will we be able to handle them all?” Su Xue wondered.

”No problem! Well at least that is what Ziyun tells me. We want to accept at least five hundred thousand refugees in the coming months.”

”Wow...”

”That's a lot!”

They continued to watch while telling Chen Wentian about the events that occurred while he was gone. He didn't care too much about the Glacier Sect elders insulting him or that Divine Blazing Mountain was made up of despicable men. The thing he cared about was their weird reaction to fiery spiritual energy during their fight.

He made them describe the fight in detail twice just to make sure. It was indeed a very strange phenomena where they seemed to be able to dissolve the flame attribute within the spiritual energy. This usually didn't happen as spiritual energy carried the will of the person it originated from and tended to clash against each other.

”Hmm, let's go back to the sect and do some tests.” Chen Wentian said.

He flew them back to the sect and they met in the courtyard after the girls had a chance to relax and change into more comfortable cultivation robes.
