Receiving the families 1

Damian went inside the city hall. The day passed pretty much the same that the previous days, discussing issues and how to fix them, and attending to clan members' requests. Once they finished, the sun still hung in the sky.

Damian went straight home and began producing the bags of holding. Now he held a true inscription pen requested to one of Nathan, as he was actually a journeyman blacksmith.

Damian used his inscription technique [Divine Inscriptionist art] and swiftly inscribed runes on the patch of leather. After a few minutes, he finally finished inscribing twenty-one patches of leather. He then sewed the inscribed patches of leather. Soon enough, bags of holding were finished. When Damian finished the twenty-one bags of holding, the moon had just come out.

Damian bound his improved bag of holding. Surprisingly, now that he was using proper leather to inscribe the inscriptions were more well-defined instead of a four cubic meter space. The bags of holding now contained twelve cubic meter space.

He went to meet his brothers and provided them with the bag of holding. After spending some time with them, he said his goodbyes and returned home to continue cultivating. Tomorrow would be an exhausting day.

In the morning Damian stood up from his meditation. He walked towards the city hall where surely enough he found Francisco, after exchanging some pleasantries Damian gave him three bags of holding, along with three inscribed pieces of wood he had inscribed with [Divine Defensive Lotus art]. This was an extra token to show thanks for the help Francisco had provided him.

Francisco assured him it was not necessary to provide the defensive tokens, but Damian insisted, leaving no way out for Francisco. Francisco finally accepted as he thanked Damian from the bottom of his heart. With those, his family would be just a tad safer when venturing outside.

Damian bid him goodbye and told him he would seek him once more when he had the materials to produce some good quality leather. Francisco thanked him and went on his way.

Damian entered the city hall. James, Celia, Max, and Leticia were already there, waiting for the other., Leticia was a lean woman with white skin and blonde with a pair of brown eyes like Damian was at the fifth layer of the Golden Core Realm. She was beside Jack one of the few expert level Alchemist of the family.

As Damian approached, he greeted the others and was greeted back. As they exchanged pleasantries about the village and what they could do to protect themselves from lurking dangers deeper in the forest. The rest of the council members arrived.

Once everyone was present, Damian proceeded to give each council member a bag of holding. The council gave thanked him. They definitely had some uses for these convenient artifacts.

Damian even told them that in time, if they could manage to procure a peak Golden Core beast skin. He could produce bags of holding of better capacity, and he would only charge them fifty red spirit stones.

Some of the members gave Damian an incredulous look as the price was steep. However, they could not deny the capabilities needed to produce one. So they told him that if the need arose, they would seek him out.

Leticia told him that perhaps later on she could provide some beneficial pills to Damian as a thank-you gift for the bag of holding.

Once done with the formalities. All council members went to the designated area where they would receive the family heads of the families on the four floor of the city hall.

They waited for around two hours when they felt massive amounts of Qi appear outside the village. Damian esteemed that there were at least twenty million people. An astonishing amount of people. More than seventy percent of them were in the Qi condensation realm, around twenty percent in the Foundation Establishment realm, with less than five thousand thousand having reached the peak of the realm.

Damian noticed too, less than two thousand Golden Core realm cultivators, all of them in the early stage. No doubt they would be part of the people they will be speaking to in the following hours, along with some of the peak Foundation Establishment realms.

Damian had required a good fifteen minutes to go over the ocean of people's cultivation. The other council members had gauged similar realms as him.

They were not worried that the people would riot as they had put teams of twenty Golden Core realm cultivators outside the city in order to receive the families. Plus the hundreds they had inside the village, the team they formed had people that in the past had been dedicated as orators or politicians in charge of those teams, as they would need to organize the families.

After what felt like an hour, a Peak Foundation Establishment clansman assigned as a guide inside the village took five people to the conference room. The party comprised three Golden Core realms. They all wore plain blue robes and appeared of French origins.

When the person arrived in front of the council an almost unperceptive tremble went down his spine. No doubt, before this party had arrived on earth. They had expected to use their Golden Core realm to get some higher benefits. But when put in front of a mass of Golden Core cultivators receiving them at the entrance and the Violet Sky upper echelons all of them at the middle layers of the Golden Core realm those thought were completely crushed.

He immediately presented himself. "Violet Sky Council, we are the Russo clan and I'm the clan patriarch, those behind me are the elders of the clan. We have decided to follow you, and are here to pay our admission fee ten sky grade manuals and twenty earth grade manuals."

"Good to have you here. The Russo clan contribution will not be forgotten by the Violet Sky Clan," replied James.

Some of the council members gave the Russo clan a nod, backing up James' words.

After some pleasantries, they continued. James said. "It is nice to have your support, we the Violet Sky clan will do our best to fulfill our duties to this city. Once we have greeted all the families we will inform the new great families. Please follow Rick, he will take you to an open area where you can enjoy some refreshments." said James as he motioned.

After Rick led the way for the Russo clan. Another Peak Foundation Establishment clans woman appeared at the door with a trio of people at the Golden Core realm behind her. One in front and two persons behind him carrying several manuals. All of them had Asian features, with black hair and eyes, and they all wore light green robes with embroidery at the chest of a river.

Once inside the room. The guide stood by the door as the newcomers advanced to the center of the room. There the Golden Core realm cultivator gave a courtesy bow as he said. "Good day, Violet Sky clan, I'm patriarch Li Ma, I come on behalf of my family to show our sincerity in joining your settlement, we expect to cooperate to get mutual benefits."
