Under the shade of the tree, a few invisible living souls were conversing.
“Edwin, this child is quite like you.”
Hearing Benjamin Chen’s words, Edwin Chen showed a helpless smile.
But he didn’t object, instead, he somewhat supported it.
Breaking through to the Innate Realm is not that simple.
First, one needs to achieve great success in the Blood Condensation Realm.
Currently, Oliver Chen is very close to this step, but he hasn’t yet reached the state where his Qi and Blood are like mercury.
This time, he probably wants to use the tempering from a life-and-death battle to reach the great success stage of the Blood Condensation Realm.
Although this method is feasible, it is too dangerous.
As a father, although he is worried, he understands Oliver’s stubbornness.This stubbornness is also the essential heart of a warrior, so how could he stop him?
The most crucial point is, he can’t stop him now; everything depends on Ethan Chen, the Clan Chief’s thoughts.
Although Benjamin and the others didn’t know they were being watched, Ethan Chen was indeed very hesitant at this moment.
He was really worried about Oliver going into the mountains alone.
Is there a way to stop him?
Ethan Chen thought hard, and when he saw the Sacred Tree, an idea came to his mind. He then said:
“How about this, you pray to the Sacred Tree, if it responds, I’ll let you go into the mountains.”
“Hmm? What does this have to do with me?”
Noah Ji, who was silently observing this scene, felt speechless, but he also understood Ethan Chen’s thoughts. An Innate Realm beast is indeed dangerous.
For the sake of love and peace, naturally, Oliver can’t go into the mountains alone.
“Actually, this time going into the mountains is not just for a breakthrough. There aren’t many beasts left in the clan, I plan to hunt a few and offer them to the Sacred Tree.”
Before Oliver finished speaking, a ray of light suddenly shone from the branches and leaves of the Sacred Tree, and a fresh, green Sophora Leaf slowly floated down.
Looking at the sincere Oliver, Noah Ji sighed in his heart.
No matter how hard it is, you can’t make it hard for the kids.
With a firm heart in martial arts, he should be supported. Having dreams makes everyone remarkable.
“Thank you, Sacred Tree.”
Oliver Chen bowed as he received the Sophora Leaf, and Ethan Chen, along with Edwin Chen and the other living souls, also bowed.
“Since the Sacred Tree supports it, I have nothing more to say.”
After bowing, Ethan Chen said with a smile, no longer hesitant.
Ethan Chen’s behavior also made Noah Ji pause for a moment.
This old guy, was this his plan all along? Clearly wanting him to provide protection but not saying it directly.
Noah Ji felt he had been taken advantage of.
But he didn’t react too much in his heart.
With the clan out of danger, this Clan Chief, who bore great pressure, seemed to have changed somewhat, but it was a change for the better.
“Although the Sacred Tree provides protection, you must remember, do not provoke that Innate Realm Green Wolf.”
“Oliver will definitely remember.”
Oliver Chen left shortly after obtaining the Sophora Leaf, which didn’t have much impact on the clan.
When many clan members were freed from harvesting Blood Rice, the clan’s main focus shifted to delivering grain rice to nearby villages.
Two pounds of grain rice per household, although not much, represented the Chen Clan’s goodwill.
Moreover, this task was not simple. The villages around Disordered Burial Mountain were scattered and far apart. Even just two pounds of grain rice accumulated into a large amount.
For this, the clan had dispatched all available members, leaving only a few warriors in the clan.
Worried that clan members might encounter beasts on the way, they were divided into pairs to ensure safety.
As long as they didn’t die outside and returned to the clan alive, it wasn’t a big problem.
And things proceeded very smoothly. Many villagers who received the grain rice were astonished. It wasn’t until they saw the Chen Clan members leave that they touched the two pounds of grain rice with a sense of disbelief, their faces showing a hint of gratitude.
Two pounds of grain rice gave many impoverished villagers a bit more hope to survive the harsh winter.
Delivering grain rice was not a thankless task. Ethan Chen had already instructed the clan members to record the number of households in each village.
This was to facilitate control over all the villages around Disordered Burial Mountain.
Moreover, most of the clan members sent out were unmarried. Ethan Chen didn’t believe that among such a large number, they couldn’t find a few suitable matches.
As long as they took a liking to each other, it was a good start.
…
In the clan, two figures were hiding behind a house, cautiously observing the surroundings.
At this moment, Alexander Chen suddenly spoke:
“Lucas, are we really going to do this? What if the Clan Chief and your mother find out?”
Lucas Chen was stunned for a moment. Why did this sound so familiar, yet somewhat wrong?
Oh, he remembered, his father wasn’t in the clan recently, he had gone out.
“What are you afraid of? The Clan Chief is in the Ancestral Hall, my mother is busy making clothes. I heard the Clan Chief say the new clothes need to have the clan totem, they won’t find out! Just follow me!”
“By the way, did you pack everything?”
“Yes, healing medicine, water bottle, and this!”
Alexander Chen turned around, revealing the machete on his back. Although the blade was worn and no longer sharp, it was still wrapped in several layers of thick cloth.
“That’s good. Last night, I secretly picked a Sophora Leaf from the Sacred Tree! It should be useful!”
“Let’s go, move out!”
Fully armed, the two looked around and quickly reached the clan’s gate.
But just as they were about to step out, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, casting a large shadow that enveloped them, a chill seeping into their hearts.
“Lucas, where are you going?”
The speaker was a woman in her thirties with delicate features. Despite being in the mid-stage Body Tempering Realm, her figure was quite robust. The increasing age and the wind and snow of Disordered Burial Mountain had added a few inconspicuous wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but they couldn’t hide her youthful beauty.
She seemed to ask gently, but there was a hint of frost in her eyes.
Hearing this familiar voice, the two couldn’t help but tense up.
Lucas Chen slowly raised his head, looking at the smiling woman in front of him, stammering:
“Mom, we, the Clan Chief… asked us to deliver grain.”
“Yes, deliver grain.”
As if finding an excuse, the two quickly nodded.
“Oh? Where’s the grain then?”
The woman asked with a smile.
“Ah, I forgot, I’ll go get it now!”
Lucas Chen, unable to contain his fear, tried to escape but was grabbed by the collar by the woman, followed by a roar:
“Lucas Chen, see if I don’t spank you today.”
“Alexander, run! Go get the Clan Chief to save me!”
Watching Alexander Chen run away, Shao Zhenfang’s face turned dark.
These two little jerks actually wanted to go hunting in Disordered Burial Mountain. If it weren’t for the clan members informing her in a dream, she wouldn’t have noticed!
PS: Everyone, don’t argue. I’m not good at writing female characters, so I usually don’t write much. As for Oliver Chen, just assume his parents died when he was a few years old.
