[Name: Noah Ji]
[Race: Shadowy Sophora Tree]
[Vitality: 280.5]
[Supernatural Powers: Eye of Insight, Reversal Pill, One Leaf Hindrance, Soul Condensation, Armor Overlay, Scorched Earth]
[Techniques: Lunar Eclipse, Gathering Yin]
[Combat Skills: Grand Ancestor Long Fist]
[Qi and Blood: 146 (convertible to Vitality)]
[Spiritual Power: 60]
[Deduction Points: 30]
[Deductible]
[Status: Some people are alive, but they are already dead.]
After the clan members completed their sacrifices, Noah Ji opened his attribute panel once again.
On the original basis, he had gained an additional 47 points of Qi and Blood, 8 points of Spiritual Power, and the mid-stage Innate Realm Green Wolf had contributed 25 points of Vitality and 5 points of Spiritual Power.
Although it wasn’t as much as Noah had anticipated, it was still the only fierce beast, apart from the green bamboo, that contributed more than twenty points of Qi and Blood, and the increase in Spiritual Power was far superior to other beasts.
This meant that as the clan members’ strength improved, the higher the realm of the beasts they sacrificed, the less of a problem Qi and Blood and Spiritual Power would be for deduction.
Deduction Points, however, were particularly important. But with the current small number of clan members and the scarcity of high-level warriors, if a few more Innate Realm warriors could break through, Deduction Points would not be a concern.
Looking at the deductible button, Noah Ji chose to remain silent once again.

“Five Leaf Flower, what is that?”
In his dream, Ethan Chen looked puzzled as he gazed at the delighted Benjamin Chen, voicing his question.
“The world is vast, not only filled with various feng shui treasures and numerous spiritual items but also with all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.”
“These heavenly materials and earthly treasures are unique and possess their own magical effects.”
“However, these treasures are extremely rare, grow slowly, and cannot be cultivated. Even during the clan’s peak, they were seldom seen. But the Five Leaf Flower, the clan’s treasury once had two of them.”
“This flower has the ability to heal injuries and help Blood Condensation Realm warriors break through their realms.”
Hearing Benjamin’s explanation, a gleam of light flashed in Ethan’s eyes.
Healing injuries didn’t matter much; the Sacred Tree’s power was more effective.
But helping Blood Condensation Realm warriors advance was highly valuable.
Currently, the clan had few Blood Condensation Realm warriors, most of whom were still in the early stages. After Oliver Chen’s breakthrough, he was the only one in the late-stage Blood Condensation Realm, making their numbers too scarce.
If this flower truly had such an effect, it would be of great benefit to the clan.
As the Clan Chief, Ethan quickly had another thought and immediately asked:
“Father, since the Five Leaf Flower cannot be cultivated, can we protect that cave and wait for those flowers to mature before harvesting them?”
Benjamin nodded:
“I had the same thought. These treasures are naturally nurtured and cannot survive once picked. If we harvest them all, they will only provide limited benefits to the clan. Moreover, according to your description, many of the Five Leaf Flowers in that cave are not fully grown yet, making their effects minimal and unlikely to advance the clan members’ realms.”
“But if the clan protects that cave, it will undoubtedly bring great benefits in the future.”
Ethan’s face lit up with joy upon receiving the affirmative answer, not expecting such a gain this time.
Although, according to his father, these heavenly materials and earthly treasures grow slowly, often taking years or even decades to be effective, as long as the Five Leaf Flowers in that cave are not extinct, they will be the clan’s future foundation.
This is extremely important for the newly established Chen Clan.
More importantly, the clan’s plan this time was successfully resolved.
After the Innate Realm Green Wolf was slain, its pack would scatter, and Disordered Burial Mountain would return to the Chen Clan’s control.
Now, with no other clans around, the Chen Clan could solely enjoy the mountain’s resources.
It’s worth noting that Disordered Burial Mountain, besides its fierce beast resources, also had many herbs.
Recently, the clan had been relying on the Sacred Tree’s power and hadn’t sent anyone to harvest the herbs.
But in the future, when clan members go out and can’t get timely healing from the Sacred Tree, harvesting herbs will be necessary.
…
A few days later, Ethan Chen arrived at the fertile fields outside the clan.
Ahead, James Chen and Oliver Chen were already waiting.
In the fields, many house servants were busy, and occasionally a clan member could be seen.
A few days ago, after the snow in Disordered Burial Mountain melted completely, the clan had prepared to start planting a new crop of Blood Rice.
With the help of the Sacred Tree, the natural Blood Spring was successfully controlled by the clan, turning into the ten acres of fertile fields before them.
As the temperature continued to rise, the natural Blood Spring would become more active, and by summer, these fertile fields capable of growing Blood Rice could expand by several more acres.
“Greetings, Clan Chief!”
“James Chen greets the Clan Chief.”
Seeing Ethan Chen inspecting the Blood Rice, the two hurriedly greeted him.
“Mm, how is the growth of the Blood Rice you two are responsible for these past few days?”
Planting Blood Rice was not much different from planting ordinary grain rice. Before the end of the year, the clan had already planned to assign the task of planting Blood Rice to the house servants, and it was now being implemented normally.
However, to ensure nothing went wrong with the Blood Rice, the clan had sent a few skilled clan members to oversee the fertile fields, but the main work of Blood Rice was still managed by these two.
“Reporting to the Clan Chief, the five acres of fertile fields I am responsible for have already sprouted seedlings, and no other issues have occurred.”
Oliver Chen reported, then fell silent.
Ethan nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Beside him, James Chen also reported:
“Reporting to the Clan Chief, the five acres of fertile fields I am responsible for are growing well. In about half a month, we can start fertilizing the seedlings. If they continue to grow at this rate, the clan will surely have a bountiful harvest of Blood Rice this season.”
“Mm, you both have done well.”
Ethan praised.
Oliver remained silent, while James Chen, with a fawning smile, said:
“Thank you for the praise, Clan Chief. But I am merely following the clan’s orders. All of this is due to your wise and heroic leadership. I will continue to work hard and not let you and the clan down.”
Seeing James Chen speak eloquently and flatteringly, Oliver was somewhat dazed.
Even the two clan members following Ethan scratched their heads.
Those words did sound quite pleasing.
A faint smile appeared on Ethan’s face as he asked again:
“Have there been any difficulties in planting Blood Rice recently?”
Hearing this, Oliver quickly said:
“Clan Chief, we are short on manpower in the fields. It would be better if we had more people.”
Ethan didn’t respond immediately but looked at James Chen.
“Reporting to the Clan Chief, it’s just the beginning of spring, and there are many tasks in the clan. Although the fields are large, I am confident that we can manage for now.”
Oliver: ?
