Capítulo 18: Namu's Settlement (5)
"Master, Qing Yi comes back with five fellow goblins from the northern area. They came from two different villages that were destroyed by the Namu's Settlement." Qing Yi waved at the goblins behind her to follow her steps.
The goblins all kneeled before Mu Qing Lang to pay him respect. As a wise leader, Mu Qing Lang handed six bottles of Recovery Ointment to Qing Yi for distribution and had Xiao Qing prepare the Xian-Ren Grass for six more members.
Additionally, Mu Qing Lang distributed twelve bottles of Recovery Ointment for Xiao Qing to distribute to those working today. After the meal and a little entertainment, each and everyone returned to their own place including Mu Qing Lang.
In fact, he's the most impatient one to return to his Carriage of Immortality due to the existence of a new type of seeds. There are fifteen weapons to be distributed as well, along with fifty sets of clothing. All of these is more than enough for him to defend the Mu's Camp.
But still, the most attractive thing for Mu Qing Lang is the seeds he never saw before. Seated on the chair before the Information Table, an option pops up.
[*Chang Empress Poppy Plant*]
"Poppy plant! The seeds inside this sack are actually Poppy Plant! What should I do if they're all belonged to the Medicinal Poppy kind?" Mu Qing Lang's emotion is indescribable. A poppy plant can be categorized into two kinds of usage.
The first kind is farmed for their poppy seed, which can also be used to make poppy oil. As for the second kind, they can be either medicinal or poison, depending on how it was processed.
Of course, the second method was one of the most valuable resources made available to the medicine industry, after the opium milk or latex is collected. The procedure to properly preparing them is difficult, but that's where the profit comes after the preparation is completed.
But still, one cannot deny the fact Opium or Opiate Drugs is one of the most destructive weapon used to destroy their nation, the nation he grows within before he came into this world.
Full of worries and hesitation, Mu Qing Lang tapped on the Chang Empress Poppy Plant, hoping for the best.

"This... After reading about this, I feel pity for Chang Empress. The thickness of her emotion actually gives birth to this Poppy Plant, hoping that one day, people will understand what love is her love, and what kind of hate that made her hates."
"I'll grow it and carry on with your will to spread your love and hate to each and everyone living on this prairie. I'll try my best to complete your wish, and made this Poppy Plant accepted for not it's good or bad, but for its existence."
Mu Qing Lang stands up from the table. Memories and information of such required to be savored and digested to bring him to benefit in both mentally and spiritually. After popping in the Small Xian Pill and Xian-Qin Pill, Mu Qing Lang dozed off.
...
Day Sixteen.
With the additional five goblins in their team, their number increases from 13 to 18. Added with five youth from the Ka-Ruo Settlement, their number increases to 23 members excluding himself.
But the most surprising thing is, after one more application of Recovery Ointment, another goblin evolved. Only this time, it brings delight to Mu Qing Lang, especially when the weapon for their camp is ready to be assigned.
It was a talk 1.7m tall Hobgoblin. The color is a shade lighter than Qing Yi, but have more muscle compared to her. Similar to the Goblin Teacher and Goblin Leader, the Hobgoblin is capable of speech from the moment it evolved.
The skill this hobgoblin obtained, "Surveillance Eyesight" is capable of monitoring a range distance for enemies. Given this kind of talent, Mu Qing Lang raised the hobgoblin position to the Mu's Camp first guard. His responsibility includes taking care of the camp, protecting their farm and given the name Dou Yi.
The name was a simplified way of mixing "Battle" and "One" together as a name. If there's another hobgoblin popping up, then the fellow will be Dou Er. After assigning the piece of clothing and a club to Dou Yi, Mu Qing Lang monitored the others as they work.
This time, Yulin and Qing Yi will go out together to recruit more members.
Qing Yi is charismatic, while Yulin is seducing. By putting them both in a team, they should be able to achieve something each day until their camp is at least 50 members strong. As for Ka-Ba, he's expected to help the goblins in the farm, and Fengbu will handle the trading task.
To allow Fengbu to perform, Mu Qing Lang provides him with 500 Xian-Ren Grass and 50 bottles of Recovery Ointment. His mission is to bring the products back to Ka-Ruo Settlement to trade or searching for outside merchants.
Using a proper human to handle the trading matter, at least it won't push the interested merchant to leave due to the inability to communicate with each another.
For today farming, five additional goblins equal to a third boost of the working force. But before they get to be lazy, Mu Qing Lang brought up a new kind of seeds for them to start planting. At the same time, Luoli is ordered to prepare a few tools to "Lance" the Opium Fruits.
Although he believes that the fruit can mature in five days, the best time to collect the Opium Milk will be on the fourth day. It should be done three times on the fourth day before harvesting the dried fruit on the fifth day.
The expanding ability of the Chang Empress Poppy Plant can only be described as "outrageous" due to the number of seeds to plant ratio. A fruit alone creates 600 growable seeds, and it can produce about three to four fruits at the end of its lifespan. This itself equals to a cheat.
With a thousand Chang Empress Poppy should be planted, it was another hectic day for the goblins and Ka-Ba. The camp once again harvested 2,000 stalks of Xian-Ren Grass, replanted the Demonic Jupiter Flower to 320 plants this time, harvested 1,000 Amber Roots and replanted them for the same amount, and added an additional 1,000 Chang Empress Poppy Plants.
While there's still time before dinner's evening, Mu Qing Lang headed outside his camp for a stroll. Up to date, there's a Dining and Bonfire Square, two straw huts enough to accommodate eight people, and four humbler huts.
At the side of where the huts built is a Tool Workshop made for Luoli, and a new Tailor Workshop made for Luoyi. Further than that is a small fenced area to cultivate the Prairie Horn Rabbits. It was divided into two areas grown with Iron Tail Grass.
Whenever one of the areas is out of food, the rabbits will be moved to another side while waiting for the Iron Tail Grass to grow. Since they are only taking care of an adult mother rabbit and four little bunnies, the food provided to them is more than enough.
As for the farm, the plants are all gathered to the right of the camp, with more and more reclamation is keep extending further. Before long, their expansion should reach his first camping area.
It was only sixteen days, but Mu Qing Lang already collected two records out of three in staple foods, two out of five Medicinal Plant records, and five out of six useless plants grown on the Chang Emperor Prairie. Of course, he got himself an additional type of plant, the Chang Empress Poppy.
This made him wonder, what was happened before this? Is there any records still available in this world, which recorded the story between the Chang Emperor and his Empress? Would it be beneficial for him to know the story?
It confused Mu Qing Lang but motivated him at the same time due to the adventurous spirit. Taking that short round on his camp relaxed him further as Mu Qing Lang returned. As he joins his people for dinner, Qing Yi and Yulin returned empty-handed.
Yulin's expression is uglier than ever.
"What happened?" Mu Qing Lang noticed her changes and asked.
"Master, we're in danger... On our way to a known goblin settlement, we saw a group of people, about twenty to thirty hunters, kidnapping the goblins and burn their village into ashes." Yulin replied. She explained to Mu Qing Lang what was happened in detail under the listening ears of the others.
"Qing Yi afraid that their next target will be our Mu's Camp..." the Goblin Leader added.
