Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Yi Tian knew he had to adapt to this winter as quickly as possible.

The severe cold was by no means the only challenge this winter!

With his "weather forecast," Yi Tian knew the cold had only just begun. Tomorrow, and the day after, the temperature would drop even further.

Go to the Martial Arts Arena and sweep away the accumulated snow.

Begin the Celestial Human Body Refining Skill!

It feels better than Qi Refining!

After getting moving, he felt much warmer. Yi Tian became more and more energetic, even a bit excited.

Life lies in movement!

One hour later.

Strength +5, Constitution +5, Agility +4.

When returning to get hot water for tea, Liyue and Qixin got up. Usually at this time, Liyue would boil a pot of hot water for him.

Before, in the Celestial Dao World, there were no Snow Beasts, so Liyue and Qixin had never experienced such a harsh environment.

They huddled by the kitchen stove, their work neglected.

But just being able to make a fire was already quite good.

The Little Kiddos were still sleeping!

"Lord, why is it so cold? It was never like this before!" Qixin asked Yi Tian, who was brewing Enlightenment Tea.

"Just like in summer, it’s the monsters’ doing," Yi Tian replied.

At the beginning of the month, there was no chance to search for Celestial Beasts. Just like Withered Beasts, without the guidance of the Celestial Dao Rules, it was impossible to find them.

"Once I finish cultivating Martial Skills, I’ll make some stoves. By then, as long as you don’t go out, you’ll be fine!" Yi Tian didn’t demand much from Liyue and Qixin.

After the Withered Beasts incident, the brewed Top-Level Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine had lasted Yi Tian a long time. He still had some of various levels of Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine from before.

The tailoring room could make women’s down jackets. If they really had to go out, Yi Tian told Liyue and Qixin to wear something thicker.

He didn’t say much else to Liyue and Qixin. Carrying two cups of tea, Yi Tian returned to the Martial Arts Arena.

When comprehending the Misty Step Technique and World-Edge Sword, he began to torture himself again.

By the time he drank the second cup of Enlightenment Tea, he was completely frozen into an ice block. Yi Tian used the Fire Element to thaw himself out.

No delays!

It’s just that today’s cultivation was only half as effective as yesterday’s.

After finishing Martial Skill training, Yi Tian covered his head, braved the wind and snow, and walked to Cyan Ice Spirit Spring Stone Mountain.

The Snow Beast’s blessing was there, but the Cyan Ice Spirit Spring still flowed, wisps of cold mist rising.

But the Cyan Ice Spirit Spring collected in the large wooden tub had already frozen into a block of ice.

It would flow a layer, then freeze a layer.

This made things very tricky for members of the Galaxy Catering Company. Gu Qianqiu called Bing Yun, which finally let them bottle the Cyan Ice Spirit Spring.

Bing Yun, being an Ice Elemental Master, easily melted the ice blocks.

Within the territory, Li Huo and Huo Ying were Fire Elemental Masters, but it was better to divert than block. In this aspect, they couldn’t match Bing Yun.

Compared to Yi Tian, the Indigenous People were even more cold-resistant, as winters in the Celestial Dao World were naturally very cold.

They wore thick padded jackets and fixed their hats securely.

Yi Tian had to be self-disciplined, while they had orders and had to do their jobs well.

Today they continued to sell 6,500 bottles of Cyan Ice Spirit Spring, making Yi Tian a profit of 1.3 billion Celestial Dao Coins.

Despite the bitter cold, there were still Lords watching Yi Tian’s Spirit Spring specialty shop.

Celestial Dao Coin balance: 42.292 billion.

Yi Tian continued patrolling the territory. The auspicious beasts had all withdrawn and lost their former liveliness.

They had gone through Autumn Beasts, Withered Beasts, Demon Wolf Abyss invasions, and the end-of-month assessment Three-dimensional rewards, with all their stats at over 300.

Even a Golden Spot Butterfly could kill an early-stage C-level ferocious beast. Its colors were even more brilliant and its body structure denser and more complex.

The Yin Yang Giant Panda and Big Bear and Second Bear, although facing low temperatures, had thick skin and flesh. Their body structure let them endure it.

Other ferocious beasts and birds weren’t as tough, but still more frost-resistant than the Human Race.

Yi Tian sent the Yin Yang Giant Panda out of the territory to cut wood. The trees were felled without the need to saw; just throw them back.

Firewood could fetch a good price these days.

Yi Tian’s territory consumed a lot of firewood daily, but fewer and fewer people were selling firewood at the auction house. It used to be priced like stone, now it’s more expensive than copper.

"Jiji!"

The Yin Yang Giant Panda picked up a solar chainsaw in one paw, signaling that without sun there’s no electricity, so no work?

But is that really a problem?

From the large Boutique Warehouse, Yi Tian found an S-level axe—so sharp it could slice hair and cut through iron like mud. Absolutely faster than a chainsaw.

The Yin Yang Giant Panda sighed and hefted the huge axe, gradually disappearing across the snow-covered ice...

The territory’s machines started up, everyone wore heavy padded jackets, and the weaker new members couldn’t even raise their heads.

This was just the beginning of their tempering.

The Huaxia Heroes led by example in their training, especially Guan Yu, dressed lightly, took a swig of strong liquor, and wielded his sword in the heavy snow, moving with great vigor. His red face showed he was truly cold, but able to persevere.

The Dragon Sparrow Guard under him watched Guan Yu practice, their bows and sabers covered with snow.

After drinking the Cyan Ice Spirit Spring, the Lushan Bao Ma was pulled out of the Beast Taming Pavilion. The city gates opened wide as Huo Qubing led the cavalry out.

Li Jing’s 6,000 soldiers entered the Training Ground, making Yi Tian realize the Training Ground wasn’t big enough.

For training ordinary soldiers, the Training Ground was definitely big enough.

But for A-level Body Refiners, it was too limited. They could leap and move over a hundred meters at a time.

At the very least, a large individual Training Ground needed to be built, preferably an even better facility.

Overall, the spirit and morale of the territory was many times higher than during the Flame Beast Rongyang period.

In summer, the territory members couldn’t even work and Yi Tian had to lecture them all the time.

Yi Tian planned to acquire a batch of Iron Hide and have the territory residents build stoves themselves and burn charcoal for heat at night.

The tool station was very slow—even though it didn’t cost much, with so many people in the territory, this task would take at least two days, so he assigned it to Shan Dashan, Skage, Yang Yangyang, Gui Jie, Deer Biyong, Fei Yiming, and Li Xiaocong.

Within a few hours, they could help Yi Tian finish the job.
