The Spirit-Tailed Chicken wandered leisurely around the entire clan, as if it were inspecting its own territory.
Soon, it arrived outside the Ancestral Hall.
Gazing at the tightly closed doors, a hint of disdain flashed in its eyes. It flapped its wings and flew over the outer wall, landing inside the hall.
The Spirit-Tailed Chicken could fly short distances, but this one seemed to fly farther than usual.
Once inside, it looked around and fixed its gaze on an unusually lush Sophora Tree.
It spread its wings, seemingly wanting to perch on the branches, as they preferred to sleep in high places.
But just as it was about to leap, a root suddenly appeared, blocking its way.
Startled by the sudden appearance of the root, the Spirit-Tailed Chicken hesitated but did not attempt to fly again. Instead, it settled under the tree and closed its eyes for a nap.
Above, Noah Ji watched the chicken’s series of actions in silence.
Clearly, this Spirit-Tailed Chicken had undergone a mutation due to his supernatural power, making it smarter.
Noah had considered raising fierce beasts before, but never a Spirit-Tailed Chicken.
Such domestic animals didn’t benefit the clan much, though after Enlightenment, their meat did become tastier.
As for this particular chicken, he decided to keep it for now. It would be a good pastime since he was often bored.
Outside the Ancestral Hall, Ethan Chen pushed the door open and saw the chicken under the tree.
Ethan’s expression froze slightly, but since the Sacred Tree did not object, he said nothing.
After entering the hall, Ethan prayed silently. Before he could speak, a light screen appeared before him.
On the screen were Lucas Chen and another person sneaking out of the clan.
Seeing that things were as he had predicted, Ethan sighed.
He understood the young people’s desire to explore the outside world, but the current situation was not suitable for them to venture out.
However, since they had already left, he could only hope they would be careful and avoid any mishaps.
The outside world was not like the clan, nor like the Disordered Burial Mountain.
After Ethan left, Noah examined his own state.
Now that the clan was connecting with the outside world, he needed to make some preparations.
[Name: Noah Ji]
[Race: Shadowy Sophora Tree]
[Vitality: 1002]
[Supernatural Powers: Eye of Insight, Reversal Pill, One Leaf Hindrance, Soul Condensation, Armor Overlay, Scorched Earth, Enlightenment]
[Techniques: Lunar Eclipse, Gathering Yin, Incense Fire Golden Body, Spirit Devourer]
[Combat Skills: Grand Ancestor Long Fist]
[Qi and Blood: 22 (convertible to Vitality)]
[Spiritual Power: 80]
[Deduction Points: 20]
[Deductible]
[Status: A Sophora Tree emerging from the wall.]
In the past three months, Noah’s Vitality had increased rapidly due to the revival of the natural Blood Spring. Additionally, he had converted several months’ worth of Qi and Blood, quickly pushing his Vitality past the thousand-point mark.
Upon reaching a thousand points, Noah grew a new cluster of leaves. However, the Vitality gained from absorbing moonlight daily did not increase much.
His roots had already spread throughout the entire clan and could even extend a bit beyond. With that unusual golden Sophora Leaf, he could see everything happening within the clan.
But after surpassing a thousand points of Vitality, his trunk and size grew significantly, to the point where even his ability to control growth couldn’t keep up.
His trunk now towered over the Ancestral Hall, making him quite conspicuous.
This was bad news for Noah.
A tree that stands out in the forest is bound to be destroyed by the wind. The clan was not yet powerful enough, and both the clan and the Sacred Tree needed to lie low for a while.
Growing too tall and strong might not be a good thing.
Just like when Gabriel Zhou came last time, didn’t he also underestimate him?
A weak appearance often makes others drop their guard, and trees are no exception.
But now that things had come to this, Noah could only go with the flow.
Thanks to the Spirit Devourer technique, his Spiritual Power had increased rapidly over the past few months, but his Deduction Points had slowed down considerably.
Previously, the Deduction Points had increased quickly because the clan was in turmoil, and many people didn’t have time to cultivate.
But now, most of the clan members had broken through to the next realm, and it would take some time before they could advance further, causing a vacuum period for Noah’s Deduction Points.
To solve this, he needed more clan members.
Fortunately, in about a month, there would be many new clan members.
For the future of the clan and himself, he needed to Enlighten them one by one to speed up the clan’s development. Considering the consumption of Enlightenment, his current Spiritual Power might not be enough. It would be great if he could get more green bamboo.
Given the future needs and uses of Spiritual Power, Noah decided not to conduct new deductions for a while. After experiencing tenfold deductions, he wanted to try out advanced maps again.
…
“Look, that must be Yong’an City that Oliver mentioned!”
Outside Yong’an City, Elijah Chen and the others gazed at the distant city with excitement and anticipation.
It had taken them six days to travel from the clan to Yong’an City. Although the cartload of goods contributed to the travel time, the distance was still considerable.
If not for the newly built road by the clan, they might not have reached the city even in another six days. Fortunately, they encountered no unexpected events, like sudden attacks from fierce beasts.
Finally, they had arrived at their destination.
Elijah and the others tidied up their clothes, and a few clan members pushed the cart towards Yong’an City.
Outside, they represented the image of the clan and needed to be mindful at all times.
The area outside the city was bustling with people, and the variety of clothing dazzled their eyes, leaving many of the clan members overwhelmed.
Elijah and the others did not rush into the city but first observed the surroundings.
After some observation, Elijah quickly noticed that there were quite a few people like them, coming to the city to sell goods.
Most of them were ordinary people.
The less fortunate ones carried their goods on shoulder poles.
The middle-tier ones, like their clan, pushed carts.
The better-off ones used horse-drawn carriages, and these people were dressed quite elegantly, not looking like common folk.
Seeing the horse-drawn carriages, many clan members showed envy. Unfortunately, the clan did not raise horses, and the new road was still uneven, making it difficult even for carriages to pass.
While they were observing others, some passersby also glanced at Elijah and his group.
Facing these gazes, the clan members stood tall and proud. The clan was not inferior to anyone.
Most passersby quickly withdrew their gazes after a glance, not looking further.
