Within the Five Elements Heaven, Hou Yuxiao extended his palm, and with an empty grasp, countless blood-red Condensed Pearls slowly rose from the ground. Upon seeing these pearls, Hou Yucheng and the other two immediately held their breath, their eyes filled with joy and emotion.

    "Here, there are a total of thirty thousand drops of Primordial Blood, primarily used to restore the structure of the Red Flame Army. After that, every month I''ll produce another batch, about five thousand drops.

    With this Primordial Blood, we basically won''t lack Martial Artists of the Ten Layers of Body Openings, so I''ve planned to dissolve the Hexi Army structure, leaving only the Red Flame and Zhaoyang Armies.

    Starting tomorrow, I will stay at Baiye Camp to open the Five Elements Heaven, allowing soldiers to enter for cultivation. Those who can enter the Five Elements Heaven for cultivation, those who can obtain the Primordial Blood.

    Second Elder, you will handle these specifics. No problem, right?"

    Primordial Blood, Five Elements Heaven, these are powerful tools to win people''s hearts. Hou Yucheng immediately understood Hou Yuxiao''s intention, his expression excited as he patted his chest, nodding: "No problem, big brother, I will definitely handle all these matters properly!"

    Hou Yuxiao nodded, his gaze turning to Hou Yuling and Hou Yujie, saying: "Upper Hou Gate, Lower Hou Sect, Black Feather Guards, White Feather Guards, the headcount, and their cultivation levels, how are they? I haven''t asked you about these in the past six months."

    The Hou Clan has a total of nine divisions. Besides the Zhaoyang Army and the Upper and Lower Hou Gates, there are the Qinglong Association, Zhaoyang Escort Agency, Mi Yao Division, Xuanting Bureau, Thousand Cities Bureau, Mansion Treasury Administration. The Primordial Blood and Five Elements Heaven are the two enormous assets, and Hou Yuxiao naturally prioritizes caring for the institutions led by Hou Yucheng and the other three. The other functional divisions will have to come later.

    The Upper Hou Gate is commanded by Hou Yujie, maintaining a structure of fifty people per division, totaling five hundred people across ten divisions; the Lower Hou Sect is commanded by Hou Yuling, previously keeping a structure of two hundred people per section, totaling twenty-four hundred people across twelve sections.

    The Black Feather Guards were a separate team formed by Hou Yujie within the Upper Hou Gate, originally tasked with handling demons within the Hou Clan''s territory, considered a separate armed force under Hou Yujie''s command. Initially comprised of one hundred members, their cultivation mostly ranged from Gang Qi Second Realm to Master Third Realm.

    The White Feather Guards were originally the loyal armed force of the family head, previously numbering three hundred members, all cultivated beyond the Master Realm, considered the armed force with the highest average cultivation level in the Hou Clan. When Hou Yuxiao went to Lingyuan Prefecture to propose marriage, he even arranged one hundred members for Zhao Qingxue. In reality, as the family head himself is the most advanced cultivator in the Hou Clan, he hardly ever requires such an armed force unless for special arrangements. In usual circumstances, the White Feather Guards are also under Hou Yujie''s command.

    These are the circumstances five years ago. Considering the development pace of the Hou Clan over these five years, the personnel and cultivation levels of the four organizations have undoubtedly changed significantly, prompting Hou Yuxiao to inquire.

    Hou Yuling answered first: "The twelve sections of Lower Hou Sect have increased from two hundred to three hundred people, totaling three thousand six hundred at full capacity, all cultivated beyond the Gang Qi Realm. The twelve section leaders are already experts in the Master Realm, additionally, each section has four to five Master Realm experts."

    Hou Yujie followed closely, giving a respectful salute before speaking:

    "The ten divisions of the Upper Hou Gate have also expanded from fifty to one hundred, currently fully staffed at one thousand people. The leaders of the ten divisions all possess cultivation above the Master Fourth Realms, including Kui Sector leader Hou Fei, who broke through to the Yuan Dan First Realm last year, Si Division leader Gao Hu and Geng Division leader Su Li, both have reached the Heaven-level Great Grandmaster realm. Besides, each division force comprises ten to twenty Master Realm experts with the lowest cultivation currently at Qi Gathering Second Realm, Collecting Evil Phase.

    The Black Feather Guards expanded from one hundred to two hundred, the White Feather Guards from three hundred to five hundred. These five hundred are currently the clan''s highest cultivated group, all cultivated beyond the Master Realm!" Sear?h the n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    The numbers reported by the two were startling, and listening to them, Hou Yuxiao couldn''t help but be immensely encouraged.

    Upper Hou Gate has one thousand, Lower Hou Sect three thousand six hundred, plus Black and White Feather Guards, totaling five thousand three hundred individuals, all Martial Artists beyond the Gang Qi Realm. The Master Realm adds up to at least eight hundred people, what kind of concept is this...

    And, this still doesn''t include the Red Flame Army.

    Before the return to Hexi, the Red Flame Army had more than three hundred Master Realm Martial Artists, meaning the Hou Clan currently has over a thousand Master Realm Martial Artists, and with more people using Primordial Blood, Master Realm Martial Artists will continue to emerge.

    Hou Yuxiao doesn''t know how many Master Realm Martial Artists are possessed by a family at the Holy Land, but it''s certain that once the Red Flame Army is reinstated, the current Hou Clan need not fear any forces around Hexi, and with the heaven-defying Five Elements Heaven, it won''t take long before the forces surrounding Hexi have to fear the Hou Clan.

    Given enough time, even the Holy Land...

    "The first batch of Primordial Blood for next month will be prioritized for the Upper and Lower Hou Gates, White Feather Guards and Black Feather Guards, let them rotate to Baiye Camp here. In future times, try to let them enter Five Elements Heaven for cultivation, similarly prioritized use. Third Lady, Fourth Elder, you can handle this at your discretion, I will remain at Baiye Camp, waiting for you to bring people over."

    "Yes, big brother!"

    "Second Elder, on the first day of the fourth month, we will start recruiting in the Hexi and Xingnan Prefectures. Old Fifth will simultaneously initiate recruitment in the Nanping region, coordinate with Thousand Cities Bureau personnel. This recruitment will last for one month, currently, there are many people in the three prefectures willing to join the army. I expect the number won''t be small. If you can''t make time to be present at Baiye Camp, let Gao Changlong and Gao Changhu assist you.
