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 imdiately followed, then the next... Li Yuechan kept up the rapid pace as they only had a small ti 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 t with a Zhou clan mber who recorded their nas 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 ho based on their skill set. People with education and scholarly skills such as accounting, business, alchemy, and dicine were given the widest choices. Craftsn such as tailors, smiths, chefs, and carpenters had so choice as well. Laborers such as farrs, 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 ca through, the final tally was slightly over four thousand including n, won, children, and the elderly. The other sisters also ca 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 movent 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 . 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 n. 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 phenona where they seed to be able to dissolve the fla 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 so tests." Chen Wentian said.
He flew them back to the sect and they t in the courtyard after the girls had a chance to relax and change into more comfortable cultivation robes.
"Alright, Yuechan? Lets try with you first. I will use so generic fire based attacks towards you so get ready."
"Yes master." Li Yuechan said and walked in front of him while the others stepped back.
"Sa as the fight, use your spiritual energy to repel my attack." He said.
Chen Wentian channeled a minute amount of force to his finger. Forming a red fireball smaller than a finger. It was at about the 1st Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm in strength although it did not contain any of his immortal energy or secret arts. When she was ready, he let it go and it shot towards her like an arrow.
Wooosh!
It impacted the spiritual shield she had ford in front of her and dissipated. She looked fine and barely fazed.
"Again."
Chen Wentian ford five small fireballs on each of his fingertips, the sa size as before. He shot them out in quick succession. The five streaking fireballs collided with her shield and disappeared as well, not doing much damage.
He next increased the power of the fireball to the 7th Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm which was the sa as Fen Chenyuan's attack. The ball of fla as big as a fist collided with Li Yuechan's spiritual aura and this ti engulfed her in flas. But she was fine, just as before. The attack did it's damage to the surroundings as the air felt blazing hot and the stone beneath her feet were charred black.
"Do you feel any different from the fight?" He asked her.
"No, feels about the sa." Li Yuechan said, "Resisting that last attack did use up a lot of my spiritual energy."
Chen Wentian pondered the situation for a while before trying the powerful attack once again. Li Yuechan looked visibly tired after the second attack so Song Wushuang switched with her.
Eventually, he tested out a variety of fla based attacks with all of the girls. A general pattern appeared out of the experints. For fla based attacks weaker than their cultivation level, they were able to deflect a vast quantity of them without tiring. Deflecting attacks above their cultivation level was possible but it took a lot out of them.
The spiritual energy they used was not ice based like their old secret arts. Ice spiritual energy would have made sense as it was a natural deterrent to fire spiritual energy. For other attributes or attribute-less spiritual energy, clashing together would usually result in so sort of blow-back damage, especially for the girls were who in close proximity to the explosions. However, they didn't suffer any physical injuries and were totally fine. This ant that there was sothing more mysterious going on.
"Okay, that's it for this test. Rest for a bit, then we'll go up the mountain. I will help you cultivate and I'll also test another idea I have during it." Chen Wentian said.
"Yes master." The won blushed and quickly ran away to their rooms.
