Once finished, he proceeded to replicate the process ten times. Once he had the ten bags, he used some more yarn to make a knot and seal the bag.

Then he grabbed one bag, and made a small cut on his index finger, letting a drop of blood touch the bag. The bag glowed with runes for a brief moment, then returned to normal, then Damian opened the bag and four bags flew into the bag he was grabbing.

The team members all looked at Damian with curious looks. Damian ignored the looks of his team members, grabbed the five remaining bags, and threw one at each of them.

Then Damian told them. "These are bags of holding. Because of the material I used, I don't think they will be very durable but should suffice. Long enough to serve our needs during our mission and more. Perhaps later I will provide some proper bags of holding. To use them you only need to send your Qi to it, also I recommend binding it with a drop of blood so it can't be opened by no one but yourselves."

They all thanked Damian and made a small cut to their finger. Once the drop of blood touched the bag holding the bag shined with runes for a brief moment, then they sent their Qi to the bag and inside observed a four cubic meter space, they tried to put the unconscious spiders inside the bag with no success; they shot glanced towards Damian as if the bags he gave them were defective.

Nathan even told him, "I think this bag of holding is not working properly. It doesn't store the spider."

"That's because it can't store living creatures. It has limits. It also can't store something stronger than the material it is made of, but you could store the meat of some beast or some other thing that you want," said Damian.

They still thanked Damian, as it would surely be useful for the following months.

Damian put in his bag of holding the skin, fangs, and core of the bear. He then sat in a lotus position to meditate and restore his Qi. after half an hour they were in top form once more, so they returned to the original route.

once they reached the one-hundred miles mark, Damian could feel several early golden core demon beasts at the edges of his perception.

Damian marked a few trees with the number one hundred, then they continued to the north to meet the next team. They would make a circle to ensure that all teams returned or weren't in a dire situation.

After one hour, they meet the next team. They greeted each other and continued their route. During their trip, they collected a few spirit herbs and demon beast meat, core, and different demon beast parts.

After five hours, they returned to the settlement. Some people had sustained minor injuries, as not all teams were fully formed by Golden Core real members, some of them had Foundation Establishment in them, and only five leading teams were fully formed by Golden Core cultivators, they would be in charge of checking in on the others.

As they returned to the settlement, they saw some buildings were already built; the family had some architects and civil engineers. They had formed teams to plan the way the city would be built.

The city would be square shaped with tall walls surrounding them. Tall towers in the walls would serve as vantage posts. The streets of the city would be wide, either vertical or horizontal oriented, and the center of the city would have the main buildings to maintain governance over the city, as well as the market.

The city would be divided into six main sections. The center area where the management buildings, as well as the market, would be located. A common area where people would be able to live, and a great state for the four great clans. The state to the south would belong to the Violet Sky city, the states of the other families had yet to be divided.

The squads went to one of the buildings at the center of the city. The building had a surface of fifty yards with four floors. They climbed the stairs up to the last floor. There they went to a room where James, Jack, Celia, and a few others from the council were seated on wooden chairs.

The scout teams gave the report. All of them had been assigned to the forest, and it seemed consistent that for the first three or four miles only normal animals inhabited, from five miles to twenty miles Qi condensation demon beast could be encountered, beyond twenty miles Foundation Establishment demon beast roamed, and beyond one hundred miles early Golden Core beast began to roam.

They also talked about the encounter they had with the spiders. It seemed they were the overlords of the outer region. This was also why Damian's team original path only sensed a few demon beasts, as the spiders devoured most of the demon beasts in the area.

Once they provided the report, they were dismissed, except for Damian that took a seat beside Jack. Time passed, and the teams reported the completion or progress of their assigned task. They were then told by the council to either go rest, told them to continue, or reassign tasks.

Time passed and night fell. Damian went to his assigned house in the area designated area for the Violet Sky Clan. As a member of the council, he had been provided with an above-average home. it had four rooms. Two equipped with beds and other room necessities, a workshop, and one for cultivating, a yet off-service bathroom, a space for a kitchen, and a garden made from local flora, the garden was adorned with a small pond.

Once in his room, on one corner of the room was his bed, beside it was an ample wardrobe. On the other side, a chair and a small desk, a wooden chest rested to the side.

Damian went straight to the cultivation room. There, he observed a Qi gathering formation had already been laid. The Qi in the room was of higher quality than the outside.

Damian gave a simple smile. He had to admit that while he put runes to gather runes; it paled in comparison with a full formation made specifically for this purpose.

Damian sat in his cultivation room and began to meditate. At Golden Core, he still had mortal needs, but he could forgo needs like eating or sleeping for months, just sustaining himself from Qi.
