Sam decided to refine the bloodline. Because, him doing some refining can be explained with some sort of excuses like meridian cleansing or other kinds of treatment to the body ailments they are naturally born with.

But if he creates a cultivation technique and some of them spreads it, the powerhouses will be high on his heels.

Although, he was not afraid of them, he should avoid the unnecessary trouble. After all, no powerhouse believe that Sam truly created a cultivation technique and attach the presence of cultivation technique with some inheritance or treasure, which would lead him to trouble.

Even if he is under protection now, that is not going to last for long.

One more reason is, even if he is responsible for these guys for now, that is only temporary, for them to waste his time and create a whole new cultivation technique, it is not entirely beneficial to him in the long run and they would be the one benefiting more than him.

So, if he just refines their bloodline, he will improve their lives a little and they would stop being cannon fodder which will make them feel grateful enough for them to fight for him the upcoming war and help with pass the test Duke setup.

That night, in the camp after the training session as well as the dinner is also over, Sam called two people Marian and Amir to his tent.

His tent is spacious enough and it is as big as a tennis court.

He laid a concealment formation around the tent and said to them.

"I will tell you guys what I understood about your situation. Some meridians laid dormant in your body due to your innate bloodline since birth and that is the reason you guys are unable to cultivate the common techniques."

Marvin and Amir's faces paled as they heard these words. They didn't expect their problem to be this serious.

Even though, Sam's words implied that there might be a chance to cultivate some rare and uncommon techniques, how can they, people from a small tribe get their hands on that type of technique.

If that is possible, they wouldn't have to resort to sacrifice their people as the cannon fodder for the military in exchange for the safety of the rest of their tribesmen.

Sam looked at the expressions and continued.

"Don't worry, because with the disadvantage came an advantage. As you guys have cultivated until this point, you must have noticed something.

Even though, your breakthroughs are forceful and without any techniques, there is not much bottleneck until you are in the middle-stage Novice stage."

Both Marian and Amir nodded their heads.

"What I may say might not be to your liking, but I don't know how else I can explain it to you. All this while your breakthroughs are by forcefully absorbing the spiritual energy into your system which made you lose a lot of spiritual energy as waste in the process.

The point is this type of cultivation is not suitable for you guys.

Due to your special bloodline, your body is as tough as a beast and you guys have some similar characteristics to them and that is you can breakthrough by accumulating spiritual energy by eating high quality food.

In that way, your breakthrough process will be faster and a lot smoother. But the problem is that in your current state the intake will be quite high and that makes the whole thing expensive."

Sam paused as he observed the dejected expressions on their faces.

They started having hope as Sam said that he noticed the problem and also when he said that they can cultivate by the intake of spiritual energy, but the expensive thing struck them hard.

Their two main drawbacks are that they don't have money and they don't have power.

If they want to obtain them to better their lives, they have to perform well and gain enough resources and for them to perform well, they need some power and to gain that power they need money.

All of this is an endless loop that is making their head hurt.

"Since, you guys are under me now, I can help you." Sam said in a low voice, which made the two people look at him in expectation.

"The bloodline in your body is what makes your cultivation progress with the intake of spiritual energy through food.

But due to the impurities in your blood, the efficiency and the amount of the energy that your body can efficiently absorb is low.

I have a method to clean your blood a little bit which will help you absorb the spiritual energy more efficiently from the food which in turn reduces the expense and I will also teach you how to use your physique as well as you spiritual energy in the battle without the aid of techniques or spells."

As Sam paused, he saw that the dejected expressions changed into one that of elation and delight.

"But not for free." Sam said.

"What can we do? You know we don't have mone.." Amir started saying but was interrupted by Sam.

"Money? I am not short of it. What I want is your cooperation. I will be open with you.

In seven months, we are going to war in a border town and we are going to face another battalion of the other empire.

I can win the fight alone and I am quite confident of that, but the problem here is that this is a test for me as a commander.

Even then, I am confident that I can win the battle, but what I want is an overwhelming victory and I want you guys, the hundred soldiers of the Fire-wind Dragon Hawk tribe to execute.

Since, you guys are fire and wind elemental users, you are very suitable for attacking. You will be the main attackers in every company.

Even if there are others with same element as you, I want you guys to suppress them and be selected as the main attackers by your company commander.

Other than that, you also have to satisfy another requirement of mine.

There will be an individual ranking opened in the battalion and I want at least fifty of your tribe members in the top 100 positions.

If you accomplish it, I will get you guys a special battle technique exclusive to your tribe's people only.

No other cultivators can use it.

If you satisfy these conditions, based on your performance in the battle and the battle technique I give you guys, you will be able to easily climb the ranks which will be able to help you guarantee the safety of your tribe.

If you guys outperform my requirements, I will even help your tribe to relocate to the Southern Star and I will give them jobs.

Do you agree?"

Sam asked as he looked at the two stunned men. Their faces showed excitement and determination. Even without their words, one could tell that these guys agreed to what Sam said.

But still Sam waited for their response.

"Yes, sir."

Both of them came out of their stupor and said in unison.

"Okay, then from tomorrow onwards, the training will go as per daily routine, and after the dinner and everyone goes to sleep, you guys will come and train here. Since, your problem is no secret to the rest of soldiers, there is no need to hide your visit here.

But the things you need to hide are that you should not tell them what I am teaching you here and If any of them ask you about it, just tell them that it is only possible because of your peculiar body conditions.

From tomorrow onwards, I will cleanse the blood of every ten members a day every night as the rest will train on how to use the elemental attacks without handsigns and spells.

After that, I will teach you guys how to use the spiritual energy in the combat without battle techniques.

You will only have around three hours of rest at night. But you have to compensate it with the spiritual energy and the resting time which you will get in the afternoon and evening.

Within two months, you guys will be on the same level as the rest of the soldiers if not better in the aspect of utilising your spiritual energy in the combat.

All the drawbacks which are lagging you behind your peers will be cleared.

And from then on, you guys will be the ones who has to fulfil your end of the deal.

But before that, let me tell you something in case you get over your heads after you get what you want or think that I am showing favouritism.

If not for the fact that you guys came to my battalion to seek help and I need your cooperation to execute what I need in the battle, we wouldn't be having the discussion here.

You guys might be pitiful, but there are a lot of pitiful people in the world, you are not the only ones.

This time you guys got lucky and met me, so you better use this chance well and don't take my kindness for granted.

But even more taboo is never ever dare to betray me and keep what kept to be a secret a secret. If anyone betrays me, I don't care if it is under pressure or death threat or greed or desperation, I will hunt you guys down and slaughter you with the same hands I will help you with.

Getting my help is same as contracting with a devil, if you don't fulfil your end of the deal, then even your deaths won't be sufficient to repay the debt.

Tell this to your members and make them understand."
