Chapter 455 Distributing Military Pay
After being fed advanced medicinal herbs for a month, Xiao Yuan successfully advanced to become a Crimson Fire Panda, comparable to a third-grade martial artist.
The appearance of the successfully evolved Madoka didn't change much; she was still small and adorable. However, if you looked closely, you would see that the brown fur on Madoka's body had turned into a deep red, giving her an extremely eerie look.
In addition to Xiaoyuan, Dahuang and Erhuang, who guard the farmland, as well as two Feiyu chickens named Feiyu Yi and Feiyu Er, have also successfully advanced to higher levels.

"Giggle."
Just as Chen Dao was recalling the information about the chicken and dog's advancement, a giant chicken strode past Chen Dao's gate with an arrogant gait. It was none other than Fei Yu Yi, who had successfully advanced.
This chicken was far larger than anyone could imagine. When standing, it was even taller than Chen Dao and about the same height as Chen Cheng. When its wings were spread, it was as if it covered the sky and the sun.
Its feathers are pure white without a single blemish, making one think of the mythical beasts in folk tales!
It's just that the villagers of Chenjia Village are relatively accepting of these strange beasts; otherwise... the flying feather chickens and blue feather chickens roaming the village would probably scare the villagers half to death.
After all, most people have never heard of a chicken taller than a person, or even heard of it.
Turning his gaze away from Fei Yuyi, Chen Dao fell into deep thought.
Xiao Yuan, Cang Yu Yi, and Cang Yu Er all need Python Blood Grass for their next advancement, and Chen Dao knows a little about this herb.
Python Blood Grass is said to be a medicinal herb that only grows on land nourished by the blood of a giant python. Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, a giant python fell on the grassland, and the blood flowing from its corpse nourished the land, causing the growth of Python Blood Grass, a precious herb that is coveted by countless mid-level martial artists!
Why are mid-level martial artists so eager to obtain Python Blood Grass?
Naturally, this is because Python Blood Grass is one of the main medicinal materials for a mid-grade martial artist to advance to a high-grade martial artist!
Not only Python Blood Grass, but also Python Bone Grass, which is needed for the advancement of Rhubarb and Second Yellow, is one of the main medicinal materials that can help intermediate-grade martial artists advance!
Both of these medicinal herbs are only produced on grasslands or in the vast mountains. Therefore, many mid-level martial artists in the Xia Kingdom, after cultivating to the fourth rank and reaching a bottleneck, often go to the grasslands in an attempt to obtain some python bone grass or python blood grass to help them advance to the third rank!
however……
What is a grassland?
That's barbarian territory. Although barbarians don't practice martial arts, they are naturally strong. An ordinary barbarian, once he reaches adulthood, will possess a physical body no less powerful than an eighth-rank martial artist.
If a barbarian trains his physical body from childhood, he can easily possess strength comparable to a mid-level martial artist upon reaching adulthood.
With such a powerful barbarian tribe, it is naturally not an easy task for ordinary martial artists to obtain Python Blood Grass and Python Bone Grass from their territory.
Even more so... many martial artists who went to the grasslands in search of resources died at the hands of the barbarians, which made many martial artists hesitate to go to this terrifying place, and further increased the scarcity of python blood grass and python bone grass.
It's no exaggeration to say that the two medicinal herbs, Python Blood Grass and Python Bone Grass, are truly priceless and unavailable. If even one of them appears on the market, it will immediately attract a large number of mid-level martial artists, and countless martial artists will fight over it, causing a bloodbath.
"These advanced herbs are getting harder and harder to obtain!"
Chen Dao sighed. Even peak fourth-grade martial artists could not return from the grasslands, so Chen Dao naturally would not go there to die. He could only ask the Zheng family to help find out if there was any news about these two medicinal herbs in the Xia Kingdom.
Pulling his thoughts back from their jumbled thoughts, Chen Dao said to Chen Cheng beside him, "Cheng-ge, let's go! It's time to pay the soldiers' wages!"
"it is good!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng picked up a box and followed Chen Dao out of the house, heading straight towards the training ground.
The fifteenth of each month is the day when wages and military pay are distributed throughout Chenjia Village. Generally speaking, the wages of villagers and workers are distributed by village officials such as Chen Lian and Chen He.
As for the military pay of the Chen family army, it will be distributed by Chen Dao himself.
There was no other way; Chen Dao had to ensure the loyalty of the Chen family army to him. Although personally distributing military pay was just a trivial matter, it could increase the goodwill of the Chen family army members towards him.
Soon after, Chen Dao led Chen Cheng to stand on the high platform of the training ground. Looking at the men below, who stood firm under the scorching sun, Chen Dao nodded in satisfaction and said, "I know you all want to receive your military pay as soon as possible, so I won't waste any more words. Let's start distributing the military pay now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Cheng opened the box he had brought. Inside, silver glittered, and pieces of silver sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight.
"The first one is Zhao Si."
Chen Cheng shouted, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on the face of an ordinary-looking man in the audience.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get your money!"
Someone next to Zhao Si patted him on the shoulder, and Zhao Si finally realized what was happening and hurriedly ran towards the stage.
"Chen Si, right? This is your military pay."
Chen Dao took out a tael of silver from the box and handed it to Zhao Si. He then took the note from Chen Cheng's hand and said, "One tael of military pay and five military merits, right?"
"That's right!"
Zhao Si grinned and nodded frantically, his mouth almost reaching the back of his head. There was no way around it; one or two taels of silver was far too precious for a farmer like him who had once struggled to even have enough to eat.
but……
After carefully placing the silver into the inner lining of his underwear, Zhao Si looked up and asked, "Mr. Chen, what's this about military merit?"
