Hong Guang, standing nearby, immediately pulled out a wooden plaque from behind him and placed it next to the furnace.
The plaque had all the regulations of the Hunting Department written on it with a coal pen. Besides the six rules Yuwen Dao had just mentioned, there were many more details included.
From the naming rights of each Hunting Team to the duties and responsibilities of the team leaders, it almost covered every aspect. After gathering around to read it for a while, everyone understood it clearly.
"Different levels of Hunting Teams have merit rankings, which are settled monthly, and the top five get extra Contribution Value rewards!"
"It’s not just about merits; the total extraction of coal and iron is also ranked, and there are Contribution Value rewards too!"
"In the future, for any changes involving the rules of the Hunting Department, will the Director convene all the team leaders to discuss together?"
"Hunting Team leaders also have certain rights in the Hunting Department?"
"It’s mandatory to form a team, but recruiting people might be a bit difficult."
"Only those qualified can form teams; picking a good leader is very important."
"The Director should also create a Hunting Team himself, and the Minister might too. I wonder if I can join his team."
After reading the plaque’s content, the crowd began to buzz with discussions.
Some quick-witted individuals already started searching for suitable team members among the crowd;
A few impatient ones, like Yuan Cheng and Hong Guang, even pulled people to the side, clearly planning to create their own Hunting Teams.
"Big brother really didn’t misjudge; this Yuwen Dao is indeed a talent!"
Seeing the excited crowd below, Xia Chuan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
It’s important to note that Yuwen Dao only truly arrived in Great Xia just last night.
Within such a short time, just coming up with the entire set of regulations for the Hunting Department was already challenging, let alone getting everyone to respond enthusiastically. The current fervor in the Earth-digging Realm to form Hunting Teams is undoubtedly the best testament to Yuwen Dao’s capability.
While everyone was fervently discussing.
Suddenly, the furnace in the middle of the wooden hut first emitted a sound, followed by a burst of intense light.
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, they all stopped discussing, and turned their heads trying to see the furnace, but the intense light made it impossible for them to open their eyes.
"Do not panic, it’s something I created!"
Hearing Xia Hong’s voice, everyone immediately calmed down. The new arrivals at the Mirror Immortal Camp were still somewhat puzzled, but the people from Great Xia seemed to recall something, their faces revealing a hint of anticipation.
The intense light suddenly dissipated, and a wave of heat accompanied by flames surged outward, covering everyone.
"What’s going on, why is it so warm outside the hut?"
"That’s not right, it’s getting warm at the mouth of the valley too."
"It seems it’s not because of the campfire; something inside the wooden hut is emitting heat. Let’s quickly go back and see."
Hearing the voices from outside, the people inside the wooden hut sensed that the intense light had disappeared and opened their eyes straight away, immediately looking at the furnace.
At this sight, everyone from Great Xia was full of joy on their faces;
The expressions of Yuwen Dao and others from the Mirror Immortal camp were instantly frozen.
In the center of the wooden hut, the furnace, originally just over a meter wide, had disappeared. In its place was a massive three-meter-wide tripod cauldron.
The surface of the giant cauldron was etched with intricate cloud-patterned fire designs; its rim had two handles; fierce flames leapt up four or five meters high, continuously radiating immense heat.
The mere appearance of this giant cauldron evoked a sense of solemnity and sacredness, not to mention that the warmth it emitted seemed almost tangible, clearly felt by everyone.
All eyes were fixed on the giant cauldron, and the entire wooden hut was silent for over a hundred breaths before someone first spoke up.
"The leader has shown a divine sign again, this cauldron is much stronger than the original furnace. Can it fend off fiercer deceitful monsters?"
"The warming effect has also improved, it’s warmer than before."
"I reckon it’s not just that; didn’t hear what the people outside said just now? The radiation range is wider too, now there’s no need for campfires in the valley for warmth."
The stunned look in Yuwen Dao’s eyes vanished upon hearing the discussions of the Great Xia crowd, and his mind immediately recalled the words Hong Yu had just said.
What he said, turned out to be true.
The furnace turning into a giant cauldron, and the vast range of heat it emitted was unusually large; witnessing such a miraculous scene firsthand, Yuwen Dao had finally come to fully believe Hong Yu’s words.
Polishing hammer, wooden mannequin, Green Bamboo Fence, Marking Stone, Medicine Decoction Pot...
In an instant, an intense curiosity about other things Hong Yu mentioned flared up in Yuwen Dao’s heart.
Coincidentally at this time, Xia Hong’s voice came from the back of the wooden hut.
"Xia Chuan, clear out two fifty-meter-wide square areas in the valley; the Martial Arts Training Ground will be recommissioned tomorrow night. Additionally, Cheng Feng and Mu Dong, prepare to take over the new Medicine Workshop and Forge."
Xia Chuan, Cheng Feng, and Mu Dong immediately bowed and answered.
Whenever Xia Hong spoke, all of the Great Xia people wore expressions of respect and even fervor, which had always puzzled Yuwen Dao a bit.
It was normal to be respectful and convinced of one’s leader.
But fervor seemed a bit excessive.
Only after he witnessed the furnace’s miraculous transformation did he faintly grasp a bit of understanding in his heart.
And when Xia Chuan cleared out two open spaces in the valley, and Xia Hong casually waved his hand, making two buildings appear out of thin air, he truly understood.
It wasn’t just him, but Hong Guang, Hong Tian, the Mirror Immortal camp’s Earth-digging Realm, the Logging Realm, and all ordinary people started to show a few threads of respect in their eyes after Xia Hong performed one divine act after another.
Especially after understanding and experiencing the functionality of these buildings.
The respect in their eyes was now visibly turning into fervor.
Just like the people of Great Xia, precisely the same.
