Amber obviously didn't intend to make money from these weapons, so she did a favor and made some for Wadiye in her free time. As the only person selling the new elemental weapons, Wadiye also gained a lot of benefits from it.

The quantity of amber is strictly controlled to avoid aiding the enemy. Wadiye is also well aware that the value of this thing is not its own value, so he immediately started the "pre-order" sales method. Frankly speaking, this sales method is not very profitable, but what is obtained is far more than what can be bought with money.

"The batch of things you brought before was for the Chi Nian clan?" Candice recalled the pile of materials that Wadiyena brought over a day ago. The direction they left was indeed the direction of the Chi Nian clan.

"Yes, the Chiguan Clan is gone, so that piece of land naturally belongs to the Chi Nian Clan. Now it's a branch of the Chi Nian Clan. If you ask me, I wasn't wrong this time. Amber was born to do great things. She even united several surrounding clans. Now, all the clans in the land between Aru Village and the Shayihe Clan are subordinates of the Chi Nian Clan. Now they have changed their name and are called the 'Chi Nian Union'."

"I've gained quite a bit this time, and I plan to expand the caravan, perhaps by adding two more teams."

Candice listened thoughtfully. As far as she knew, besides the Chi Nian and Chi Guan clans, there were also the Crow clan, the Li clan, the Mountain clan and the Sando clan near this area, not including the traveling clans that might migrate here at any time.

For a moment, she couldn't understand what Amber wanted to do by gathering so many people. It would be very troublesome to manage so many people. The reason why so many people in Aru Village are united now is because they have lived together for a long time.

At first, Candice thought she had basically seen Amber clearly, but now she suddenly felt that there was still a veil between them, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see clearly.

……

Amber, who was busy in the Chinanian clan, had no idea what was happening in the outside world and didn't care much about it. She was observing the building in front of her to make sure nothing was missed.

Yi and Gabriel slowly came to Amber's side, and Aji was sitting on Amber's shoulder. After a few days, the people of the Chinanian tribe got used to the existence of this magical creature.

Anyway, there is already a magical leader, so it’s not surprising that another magical elf appears next to the magical leader.

"Chief, as you instructed, the people we sent to observe the Sando clan have returned. The final result is that they do have secret dealings with the Shayeh clan."

"Yeah." Amber nodded. Previously, the so-called Sando clan came to surrender on their own initiative. Amber used her talent to keenly sense that there was something strange in the other party's heart, so she arranged for spies to go and investigate, and the result was as expected.

But she didn't seem anxious about it. Instead, she looked at Gabriel and spoke as if it were a daily chat.

"Hepiter, don't you think this house is a bit too plain? Why don't you use your abilities to add some decorations?"

Although Gabriel was a little confused, since it was Amber's suggestion, he just followed it. Amber scattered a few seeds on the two Roman-like places in front of the house, and Gabriel used the Eye of God to mobilize the grass elemental power to catalyze these seeds.

The vines broke through the soil and grew upwards along the Roman columns until they reached the eaves and sprouted flowers. Only then did Gabriel stop. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the convenience of elemental power.

Even though he could directly consume elemental power to create plants, the things created out of thin air were ultimately just a ball of elemental power condensed in a short period of time, and would dissipate after a period of time. Catalysts like this could, on the other hand, exist like ordinary crops.

However, this kind of application is not very effective when applied to farming... It consumes too much elemental energy and puts a heavy strain on his mental and physical strength.

"Chief, don't you plan to settle accounts with the Sando clan? Shayihe's tentacles have already reached the Chi Nian Union." There was some doubt in Yi's words. She trusted Amber from the bottom of her heart, but for the time being she didn't quite understand Amber's decision.

"That's fine, Yi. The Shayeh clan's goal is to analyze those potions, so let them do it. They won't get any results," Amber explained calmly. "As for the Sando clan, there's no need to send so many people to keep an eye on them. It would make them more likely to be discovered. Let's just pretend we don't know about this from now on. I have my own plans."

Yi nodded and began to report on the progress of the first batch of resources and the wind and sand fixation operation. Amber listened and thought at the same time.

The so-called Shayih clan is a large clan located in the ravine between the upper and lower wind erosion areas. There is a large oasis in the ravine, which is very large in scale. The Shayih clan has therefore developed into today's large clan with a total of seven or eight hundred people.

There are so many people, so the burden on the oasis is also heavy. They will eventually face the problem of oasis shrinkage. After learning that the Chi Nian clan has a way to deal with the shrinkage of the oasis, they secretly establish contact with the Sandu clan, hoping that the Sandu clan can take the initiative to join the Chi Nian Alliance and send some medicine samples for them to study.

How could they know that the key to this method was not the potion at all, the potion only played an auxiliary role, and the Shayih clan, who focused on researching the potion, ultimately got nothing.

In addition, the effect of governance will not be prominent in a short period of time, and the Chi Nian Alliance is already able to fight against the Shayihe clan. For the time being, the Shayihe clan will most likely only slowly study these medicines in secret and will not openly conflict with the Chi Nian clan.

As for liquidating the Sando clan... Amber is not in a hurry. Keeping them will make the Shayihe clan feel that the Chi Nian Alliance has their "wedge", thus avoiding a life-and-death struggle between them and the Chi Nian clan. Amber has also done a good job of keeping various technologies confidential. Her research results report has long been stored in Aji's "head" with the help of Aji's extraordinary memory, and the security level is extremely high.

Besides...she could also use the Sando clan to pass false information to the Shayih clan.

Amber didn't want to conflict with such a large clan unless necessary.

"Hepiter, this place will be under your management from now on." Amber handed a dictionary to Gabriel. In the current situation where there are so many people around, Amber would try to call Gabriel by a pseudonym.

"Where is this...?" Gabriel asked. He looked at the building in front of him, which seemed much larger than any other building. For a moment, he couldn't understand what it was used for.

"This is where the books are stored, Herpitus. You will be the administrator here from now on. You can read all the books here at will. I will teach you how to classify and manage them."

Gabriel's eyes trembled. He didn't expect that the idea of ​​"wanting to learn more" that he casually mentioned would be remembered by Amber and given to him this convenience today.

"What's that expression on your face? This kind of place exists to facilitate the entire Chi Nian clan. According to my plan, the Chi Nian clan will soon experience its first population expansion. By then, you'll have a very busy job."

Amber pushed open the door and walked into the library first. Gabriel followed Amber, looking thoughtful.

Due to the problem of building materials, the house still only has one floor, but the space is not small. There are many bookshelves in it. Most of them were made by Gabriel himself, and he didn't expect them to be used here.

At this time, only a small part of the bookshelf was filled with books, which were preschool books, with at least ten copies of each type. The remaining amber had been distributed to children and people in need.

Amber has asked Wadiye to bring her as many different kinds of books as possible next time. By then, with the help of Ah Ji's ability, this place will soon be enriched. For the sake of future management efficiency, Amber carefully explained to Gabriel how to handle related matters such as book classification and borrowing.

Gabriel listened carefully. As a member of the Sand People, he was suffering from the lack of access to knowledge. Now Amber had built this, and he really had not made a mistake in choosing the right person.

Chapter 30: Land Improvement Resolution

"As I said... your foresight is not human. If you were the ruler of Gul City, you would not have destroyed it if you had decided not to settle there."

Walking out of the library, Ah Ji sat on Amber's shoulder and talked, uniting all the surrounding clans, preparing to control the desert, develop basic education, and develop breeding. This long-term vision does not seem like that of a "human", but something else that is different from humans.

"Hehe, I'm not good at being a king." Amber Qing, who had already been told about Aji's story, chuckled and denied Aji's idea. Although she could manage the clan in an orderly manner as the leader now, it was not certain that she could manage an entire kingdom.

"Maybe." Aji shrugged and didn't go any further into the topic. She obviously had a different opinion on this.

"But do you really think that just planting date palms and caragana, and using the spraying agents you prepared, can control the desert?" Aji was obviously a little puzzled.

"Actually, the key isn't the potion at all, but the date palms and caragana trees themselves. Ah Ji, remember I explained to you before why the desert has deteriorated so severely, right?"

"Yeah." Ah Ji nodded. "You said it's due to drought, water shortage, sparse vegetation, and strong winds. The main reason for this is that the ground can't hold water."

"Yes, what is soil? Soil looks solid, but it is actually a water-rich 'mixture' containing three major elements: water, minerals, and organic matter."

"Water shortages lead to the loss of vegetation, which in turn exposes the soil to direct sunlight. Without the protection of plants, wind erosion can also occur. The sun and wind strip the soil of its moisture, causing it to dry out and crack. Wind, in turn, erodes the soil surface, breaking it into sand. This sand then spreads to healthy land, which is then covered with sand and soon becomes desertified. It's a vicious cycle."

"The so-called sand barrier...is actually mainly used to protect against windblown sand—blown sand carried by the wind."

In the previous life, this would be an extremely long process, but it is different here. This is not a typical desert, and it possesses the extraordinary power of elemental force.

In addition, since the wind-eroded land is close to the rainforest, Amber believes that this process will not take too long.

"Jade is pregnant. We will probably have a new pack animal in the clan in a few months. The first batch of eggs are almost hatched. With the help of warm lamps and human intervention, the hatching rate of this batch of eggs has reached 80%, which is a very good result." Amber told Aji about the current progress.

According to Yi's previous report, after the medicine was delivered to several surrounding clans, the Li clan and the Ya clan had already started to implement the planting plan, while Maha, the branch of the Chinanian clan, still needed some time to reorganize and was expected to start planting at the same time as the Shan clan and the Sandu clan.

The current residence of the Chi Nian clan has also changed a lot. Many houses have been built around the oasis, and they are built in an orderly manner according to Amber's plan.

By now, the work of building the house has been completed, and the manpower has been transferred to other places by Amber, such as planting trees to prevent wind and sand, and the passage leading to the previous ruins has also been excavated.

Amber's destination for this trip is another place.

Amber walked towards the dug passage, but as he got closer to the passage, he was hit by an unpleasant smell, a pungent smell mixed with the stench of feces and some rotten things.

Aji couldn't bear it anymore and covered his nose tightly. Seeing this, Amber took out two masks and put the small one on Aji. Only then did they feel better.

"I really don't know what you have been doing here..." Aji's voice came through the mask, sounding a little dull. Amber took her slowly through the passage.

"Well, that's all."

What appeared before Ah Ji were barrels filled with date palm shells, broken wood chips, broken scorpion shells, and various small bone fragments - of course, there was also feces.

"You're composting?" Ah Ji saw what it was at a glance, and there was a hint of shock in her words, "You're still planning on farming?"

"Yes." Amber nodded. "In fact, we have already started to improve the first batch of land for farming."

Ah Ji instantly thought of a piece of land he had seen before. That was where Amber was experimenting with soil solidifiers. The soil was indeed able to lock in water, and as long as the fertility problem was solved, it could be used for planting.

Originally, Ah Ji was still wondering how Amber was going to solve the fertility problem, but she didn't expect Amber to come up with this in the blink of an eye...

It's just a pity for the people who are responsible for managing these things, who have to endure this indescribable smell.

Amber observed the progress of the composting and took notes slowly. Aji couldn't stand the smell, so he left here first and flew back to the other end of the passage.

On the one hand, these things are placed here to keep them away from the base, and on the other hand, this room is used to disguise the passage leading to the ruins. After all... not many people would like to get close to such a place, right?

"It won't be long now, and the fertility problem will be solved, then the only problem left is irrigation." Amber muttered to herself. Irrigation is indeed a big problem here. Amber does not intend to over-exploit the oasis where the Chi Nian clan is located, but farming also requires watering, so she can only make some changes to the irrigation method.

Sprinkler irrigation saves more water than flood irrigation. To be more precise, it improves water utilization rate. But above this, there is another irrigation method - drip irrigation.

It is precise down to every drop of water, minimizing water waste. If we can really find a way to develop drip irrigation, the amount of water needed for irrigation will be only 1/10 of the original amount.

Amber walked out of the passage while thinking. Although she made those weapons and other small gadgets, it was essentially due to her research on elemental force and earth energy. When it comes to machinery... she is a bit Muggle, and the drip irrigation system is obviously closer to machinery.

Amber secretly decided to find someone with experience in this area to work for her, and came to Aji's side.

"Eh - you smell so bad!" Ah Ji subconsciously moved away from Amber and waved her hand. With a flash of light from her fingertips, the smell on Amber was dispelled.

"That's much better now!" Aji nodded with satisfaction, and then he sat back on Amber's shoulder with peace of mind.

Seeing this, Amber just smiled and didn't bother with Aji. She gave a few instructions on what the people who managed these compost bins needed to pay attention to, and dictated research notes for Aji to keep.

The people who manage the mushroom beasts and chickens have already gained some experience and have mastered the tricks. It won't be long before the Chi Nian clan will have a stable supply of eggs and can eat some chicken from time to time.

Once the irrigation problem is solved, the Chi Nian clan will be truly self-sufficient, and Amber will have less worries.

As I imagined such a future, Amber gradually drifted away.

……

"So... you said you were a scholar, and you accidentally got trapped in the ruins, and only escaped now?" The leader of the caravan heading towards the wind-eroded land looked at the woman walking in front with green hair, who did not look like a desert person at all, and his eyes revealed deep distrust.

"Yes! I've explained it many times!" The green-haired woman endured the slight dizziness that still remained in her head and spoke a little harshly.

This cannot be blamed on her. She has been trapped in the ruins for who knows how long, so much so that she still doubts whether what she sees is an illusion in the ruins.

It better not be an illusion! Otherwise, she would be tempted to take action. She was already a little irritable after escaping from the ruins, and these people had asked her this question several times. She hated students who didn't understand after she had explained it many times!

"Don't lie to me!" The speaker was a burly man following behind the leader of the caravan. He looked quite fierce, but his words were mixed with a strong dialect habit, which greatly weakened his fierce aura.

"I will give you the promised reward, but I don't have Mora with me now. When I get to the forest, I will just find a scholar and I will definitely not let you down." There was a natural confidence in Falushan's words, which suppressed the people in the caravan's distrust of her. They decided to wait a little longer.

The main reason is that this person had a divine eye when he was first rescued by them. They probably couldn't beat him, so they could only endure it for the time being.

"Brother, I don't think she's trustworthy." The sturdy man leaned close to the leader and spoke in a low voice. "She also said she was a forest person. Forest people are very cunning!"

"Well, don't worry, I'll think of a solution." The caravan leader didn't say anything, he was thinking.

"Brother, how about we wait until we get to the front and leave her aside? Isn't there someone over there?"

The sturdy man's words immediately reminded the leader of the news he had heard earlier. Indeed, wasn't there someone up there who had recently done something big... the Chi Nian Clan? Isn't this just right?

As for the reward? They had actually already received it. When they found the green-haired woman, they had already taken the bag containing Mora from her waist. It was only after hearing what this person said that they became a little greedy and chose to do so.

But she was a forest person and had to go to the forest to fulfill her promise, which made the caravan not very trusting of her. After weighing the pros and cons for a while, the leader decided to do as the strong man said. The two exchanged glances, and finally the caravan leader spoke first.

"Speaking of which, there's a Chi Nian clan up ahead who recently did something big. We're planning to stop there for a while. It should be quite interesting for you scholars."

After hearing the leader's words, Falushan did become interested. Seeing that she didn't mind, the leader continued to introduce, as if to deepen the scholar's curiosity about the Chinanian clan and increase the success rate of their plan.

"Two months ago, they wiped out a fairly large raider clan, then gathered all the surrounding clans together to form something called the 'Red Thought Union.'"

"They have the support of the Blazing Hunter Beast behind them."

"The Blazing Hunter Beast?" Falushan was a little hesitant. From what several people said, it seemed that this so-called Blazing Hunter Beast was very famous, but how come she had never heard of it? Could it be that it became popular during the time she was trapped?

"What? You don't know about the Blazing Beast Hunter?" The leader was clearly incredulous. "This is the famous Golden Crossing Brigade! Didn't you say you were a renowned scholar? Then how could you not know about the Blazing Beast Hunter?"

The leader seemed to have grasped some important clue. He became more certain of his plan and then left the man there and slipped away.

"Don't you know that this so-called Blazing Hunter Beast is very strange?" Falushan's attention was obviously not on the other party. She was eager to know how much time had passed since she escaped from the ruins. Perhaps this so-called Blazing Hunter Beast was the clue.

"The Blazing Hunter's fame has spread far and wide for almost thirty years!"

"......!" Falushan's surprise was beyond words, and she widened her eyes.

Nearly thirty years? She'd been trapped for nearly thirty years?

Falushan didn't know that her reaction was used by the leader to confirm his guess, and her attention was not here.

'Could it be... I'm still in the ruins? Is this just an illusion?' Falusan couldn't stop thinking this. Over thirty years later, everything had changed.

Falushan was thinking about something, and the leader was also thinking about his own things. It was obvious that they didn't intend to speak anymore, and the caravan fell into silence for a while.

——The only sound left was the sound of the wind blowing through the sand dunes.

Chapter 31: Talents at your doorstep

"You are on the right path! Amber." After finishing the "tour", Amber left the other clan leaders to be amazed on their own and walked towards her room.

A Ji was still lamenting the previous scene. Most of the clans that the Chi Nian Union now united were skeptical about whether Amber really had the ability to curb the shrinkage of the oasis and improve the desert environment. After all, they did not see any "results".

So Amber marked out a piece of land that was pure sand, and spent two or three months to successfully manage it. Today, he called several leaders over to "inspect" the results.

Aji estimated that he would not be able to forget the expressions of those people for a long time. Anil looked as if he had seen a "miracle". His goal was only to curb the shrinkage of the oasis, and he had basically no hope of expanding the oasis. Most of the other people felt the same way.
