After the meeting with the patriarch of three family, Cole immediately forget about them.

Instead, he call Dian inside his office and told him the assistance plan of his to the commoners. He immediately ask Dian to make proper arrangements.

In addition, Cole decided to open a farm of his own where he'll put the agricultural practice from earth which will then be taught and spread to the entire nation. It was more like a research farm than farm that focus on producing.

After the successful breakthrough of first Void Sensing expert, Cole mainly focus on his research farm. After a week, it took shape quickly.

Not only the research farm contains several fields of crops, some of unknown, or perhaps unpopular, methods were also included visibly in the farm.

The variety of crops available for consumption in this world is not rich, specially since most of cultivators would leave the process of eating food after they acquire the ability to fasting. They even substituted the need of their body through the so called Fasting Pills which contains all the vital nutrients the body still needs to provide.

Therefore, one of the main mission of the research farm is to research other crops or plants that can be ingested without harm.

For the meantime, what the research farm emphasize for the moment were the art of husbandry and poultry raising.

Cole have already created a rough but still acceptable systematic of poultry raising.

It was acceptable since he was able to replicate the system back on earth, even better since it only needs fifteen days after being hatched from an egg into mature, harvestable chicken.

The only thing that is rough in the production system is his feed formula. Since the ingredients of the feed formula were grown and harvested inside the [Inner World], he basically don't have any cost use in doing so but it'll be hard to be replicated on the outside. After all, it was those lowest spiritual herbs that manage to substitute the needed nutrients of the chicken to grow.

Thus, the main research of the research farm is actually the concept of natural fertilizer, specifically dealing with the droppings of his own poultry farm.

Chicken droppings were one of the basic fertilizer back on earth. It only needs to be left out for some time so that its methane gas content that'll burn crops naturally dissipate.

Although the farmers in this world don't have to worry about thinning of natural soil nutrients due to long term planting due to the presence of spiritual energy that nourish everything into better state, including the fact that the crops they planted were not even spiritual crops, Cole knew that the quality of the soil is still important.

And what happen inside the [Inner World] is the best example of it.

The higher the quality of soil, the greater the number the plant could produce and as long as it exceed the limit of the seed, it might even cause a long term mutation of plant.

Yes, the reason why Cole gave importance to plant fertilizer is to replicate what he manage to do inside the [Inner World]. He don't pray for the soil of Towering Tree City to be able to constantly improved the planted crops but it was already enough if the soil manage to support and provide the nutrients of the basic and lowest spiritual crops.

The value of normal crops and spiritual crops is vastly different. As long as he manage to perfect this fertilizer and improved the soil of the Towering Tree City, it won't be long before the farmers of the city will be able to free themselves from their debts but it'll also gave them a better future.

Furthermore, as long as the staple food of the commoners turn into spiritual crop, eventhough it was the lowest level, it would still provide benefits that is not small in the long run. Just the fact that their immune system will become more powerful after continuous consumption of low spiritual crop is more than enough benefit for the commoners of this world.

The research farm is basically the embryo of future Department of Agriculture of the Rising Phoenix Spirit Tree Nation. Since he won't be able to pour all his time and attention to this matter, Cole have already delegated the task into one of the rare literate and smart enough farmer of the territory.

The Department of Agriculture or anything that'll appear related to plant is extremely important and vital for the territory. Perhaps in the start since everything is just starting and the main objective of the department is researching and improving the normal crops but in the future when it made its systematic and academic side, it'll then proceed on researching spiritual crops and herbs.

Regarding this matter, Cole envision the future where farmers would be able to produce at least Earth-Rank Spiritual Crops and Herbs. Although it was low level, as long as this was achieved, it will only means that the supply of resources means that reaching atleast Mana Gathering stage in the nation is easy.

This department is as important as the martial force of the nation.

...

After a week of successful breakthrough and appearance of Void Sensing expert of the Towering Tree City, under the effort of the city lord, the whole city is transforming for better.

The more than 100,000 citizen of Towering Tree City is compose of 98% commoners and since they were the one that vastly benefit the most in the changes and reform, the whole city is brimming with life, hope and laughter.

In the very first month of his rule, Cole have already commence the cleaning of the whole city and create the order of maintaining it. The whole city looks more pleasant and clean.

In addition, after the appearance of the divine artifact Five Divine Beasts Mountain Pillar Array which creates and solve the problem of pressuring the water, the public bathhouse were open for less than a week.

At first, Cole fear that since the commoners of the city knew and probably refer their wiping bath, he made a resolution that every citizen must take a bath once at least every two days. Otherwise, as long as you were reported, you'll be fined.

But his worry is meaningless as long as the public bathhouse open with unlimited water to use, the commoners immediately flock the building. It was to the point that one have to wait in line for one hour before they could enter the bathhouse. It was only when Cole limits the maximum time of bathing to ten minutes then the situation become more better.

Perhaps the cleanliness of the city impacts them and already alter their taste and seek for better environment, the commoners themselves knew the positive impact of cleanliness.

However, Cole knew that the main reason why commoners flock to the bathhouse is because of the free to be used homemade soap and shampoo. Apparently, this item is luxury item that only those exalted lady of cultivator family used. The lowly commoners take the chance to use the so called luxury items.

But no matter what, Cole is happy that the city is improving when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene.

Eventhough he spend a lot of effort on this matter, even to the point that he use a divine artifact to make it happen, Cole still feel happy when they improved when it comes to personal hygiene and cleanliness. As long as maintaining cleanliness become the habit of citizen of Rising Phoenix Spirit Tree Nation, it could be considered that his main mission and purpose for creating the public bathhouse is achieved.

...

But a week after the successful breakthrough and appearance of Void Sensing stage expert, the whole nation is shocked once again when a wide area of Tribulation Cloud appear again in the horizon, signifying that someone is once again undergoing Heavenly Tribulation.

Just like the first time, the Tribulation Cloud appear out of sudden, cause a scene and release loud thunder clap and the moment it vanished, a flying figure of human is once again spotted flew towards the city lord mansion.

This fact not only send shocked to the citizen of the Towering Tree City but it also shake the outside force.

Almost every force in the Azure Territory have a peak Nascent Soul stage in their midst. Hence, it wasn't that surprising that a newly appeared faction also has peak Nascent Soul stage among them.

It wasn't also surprising when a peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator challenge their Heavenly Tribulation and made a successful breakthrough since there were many factors that affects it.

However, it'll be different if there were two consecutive successful breakthrough. This only means that this wasn't just attributed to simple factors but its more like this new force have a secret when it come to challenging the Heavenly Tribulation!

After the second appearance of Void Sensing expert in Rising Phoenix Spirit Tree nation, all the external force have shifted their attention to the latter.

...

Cole knew that his faction is bound to be set on spotlight after the appearance of two Void Sensing expert in his faction. But he don't care since he has the confidence that he'll be able to face any challenges the faction present in Azure Territory could do.

Numbers is something he don't fear of since it only takes one swing of his fan and he'll be able to reduce them into nothingness while normal expert could be taken care of easily by his five edified ghost.

And he also expected that there'll be someone that'll approach him regarding the secrets of facing a successful Heavenly Tribulation.

It was Fernando, the former member of Red Skull Bandit, who face the second Heavenly Tribulation and successfully broke through. He was chosen to make a breakthrough as soon as possible because he'll took control of internal security of the nation, just like Fernan who take responsibility with external force security of the nation.

And as he expected, someone do visit his office and much to his surprise, it was someone he clearly knew of.

"Master Timber, what an honor for you to visit my small faction."

Yes, the one who first visit him is the Master of the Wood Peak of Five Element Sect, Master Timber.

The old man is someone who don't have arrogant air or nature. He didn't beat around the bush and he said what his main purpose for visiting.

"Guest Elder Cole, I'm here to ask for assistance for my Heavenly Tribulation."

It was apparent that the old man don't specializes on offensive cultivation but more of to auxiliary path. In addition to his old age, it could be easily seen that he don't have the confidence that he'll succeed on challenging his own Heavenly Tribulation and become a Void Sensing expert.

However, the very first commotion the newly appeared faction did is that they produce their very own Void Sensing expert.

In this part of the world, the path to Void Sensing stage is one of the greatest obstacle of every cultivators. Not only they have to comprehend a [Concept], the Heavenly Tribulation is also something that hinder their part. Heavenly Lightning are even capable of reducing someone into pile of dust.

In fact, in Azure Territory, there is no lack of peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator that manage to comprehend an initial level of [Concept] but they remain in their cultivation for a long time in fear of facing the Heavenly Tribulation.

Heavenly Tribulation...

Even the Heavenly Flame Empire which was known as the powerful human faction of Azure Territory, only produce a single Void Sensing expert out of ten Nascent Soul stage. Just that alone is enough to indicate the severity of Heavenly Tribulation and the rate of its success.

Apparently, Master Timber fall in this group. He knew that he lack potential and he don't have the confidence to successfully face his own breakthrough tribulation.

Before, he don't have much of a choice and his current state is the same as many, waiting for the death until they deplete their lifespan.

However, no one is willing to face their own death. And Cole is the answer on his desperation!
