As the sky gradually began to darken, Ye Tianfan decided to set out in the morning. This would allow them a full day to travel, so after resting for a night, everyone started following Ye Tianfan towards the place he was familiar with. It was more of a run than a walk.
Because those who had undergone experints were incredibly strong and energetic, they moved quickly along the way. Even though there were many trees, they navigated the forest like fish in water, jumping swiftly from branch to branch.
Ye Tianfan was flying at a low altitude above the forest, ensuring he was above the treetops while keeping himself visible to those below.
In less than a day, by evening, Ye Tianfan saw that they were close to that familiar place. After recognizing certain features of the location, he knew they had arrived.
It turned out to be a place he had passed with Senior Brother Yun Tian on their way to the Buluo Cave and where they had first been attacked by the demons of the Demon Sect.
So Ye Tianfan had a slight impression of this place. From above, he saw a rift created by a strike of Sword Qi he had unleashed back then.
The reason Ye Tianfan rembered this spot upon seeing the rift was because the Sword Qi had struck right at the na of this valley, the rift aligned precisely with a character of the na.
Originally, this valley was called White Cloud Valley, but the Sword Qi had struck across the "Cloud" character's horizontal line, so it now looked like White Qu Valley.
After the battle, Ye Tianfan and his companions had joked about it, leaving him with an impression of the place.
Additionally, this location was about three to five days' journey from the Taichu Sect. If Ye Tianfan moved at full speed, he could reduce the travel ti to around a day.
However, such back-and-forth trips would take at least two or three days, and after reporting to his master and then his master to the Sect Leader, followed by etings and discussions, it would take about a week due to the non-ergency nature of the situation, requiring thorough preparation and consideration of all details.
In case of an ergency, though, Ye Tianfan would first report the urgent issue, take a few elders for imdiate response, and the sect would later send further support teams.
Of course, Taichu Sect wouldn't wait a week to help the survivors but would send disciples with supplies imdiately after Ye Tianfan reported, followed by Chief Elders.
Looking at the current situation, Ye Tianfan decided they needed to arrange temporary shelter for the survivors. Being forr farrs, they could endure hardship. For food, they could manage casually for two days until supplies arrived from Taichu Sect. For shelter, anything offering basic protection from the elents would suffice, even if it just shielded against rain.
But Ye Tianfan wasn't going to casually find them any place. He observed the surrounding trees.
As many of these people had succeeded in gaining superior physical abilities from the experints, Ye Tianfan decided to cut so trees into rectangular beams and let these physically enhanced individuals handle the transport and construction.
If ordinary people were to build houses for so many, it would take thirty to fifty days. But those with enhanced strength could do it in about three to five days, or even faster.
These "experint survivors" could transport materials quickly and build faster due to their strength.
The ordinary people and those who failed the experints could cook and wash clothes, complenting each other, allowing temporary residence here until support from the sect arrived. Then those who wanted to go to Grandmother Tree could be escorted there, while those who wished to return could go back or settle here.
Thinking this, Ye Tianfan called over the strongest among the experints and explained his idea.
Initially, they didn't agree, telling Ye Tianfan they didn't mind where they stayed. But Ye Tianfan insisted on building wind and rainproof houses for them to live in, arguing it would put his mind at ease. It wasn't a big deal for the strong, but the ordinary people couldn't endure exposure like them, right?
Convinced by Ye Tianfan, everyone agreed to build houses and live there.
So, Ye Tianfan led a few strong "experint survivors" to find suitable trees.
Once they built houses providing shelter for everyone, only two days had passed.
Ye Tianfan, smiling at the results of two days of hard work, addressed the crowd.
"You can stay here for now. In a few days, the disciples from our Taichu Sect will co with supplies to support you. In about a week or two, I will return with elders from our sect to aid you further. Just stay put and don't wander off."
"Benefactor, we won't wander," they replied.
"Yes, benefactor, we'll wait patiently for your return!"
"Alright!" Ye Tianfan nodded, continuing: "In the next two days, you can hunt and gather fruits. Before I leave, I will leave you so rice and buns, so take your ti to make do."
"Don't worry, benefactor. We won't be in a hurry; we are tough folks, as long as we have sothing to eat and don't starve."
"Exactly, benefactor. Don't worry about us; as long as we have food, we'll be fine."
Hearing this, Ye Tianfan nodded again and said, "In that case, I'll head back to the sect. Just wait for the Taichu Sect disciples to bring you supplies!"
