Another month passed, and much had transpired.
The Saint Monk's three-day sermon had concluded, but Zen Master Jiang Shan temporarily remained in the Imperial Capital, in no hurry to return to the Silver Frost Country.
Meanwhile, as autumn drew to a close, the Eldest Princess of the Golden Crow Country was scheduled to arrive with a tribute of fine, mass-produced weapons from the autumn harvest.
The Golden Crow Country, located to the southwest of Great Yan, was rich in Red Crow Iron Ore. The Red Crow Stone it produced was an excellent material for forging weapons, comparable to Great Yan's Red Gold but much cheaper and available in vast reserves. Many master blacksmiths had settled in the Golden Crow Country, and Great Yan purchased a great deal of its iron equipment and weaponry from them.
In addition to Red Crow Iron Ore, they also had White Rock Ore for construction and Hot Spring Stones for building Spirit Gathering Arrays, all of which were incredibly valuable.
