Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The Chen Clan was now peaceful and harmonious. Every morning, clan members would practice combat skills and temper their bodies in the clan square.

Some of the wooden houses that had been damaged in earlier years were now fully repaired by the clan members, and a special layer of paint was applied to prevent decay.

In the fields, Mason Chen squatted down, carefully inspecting the growth of the Blood Rice.

Half a month ago, the clan had already planted all the fertile fields with Blood Rice. After half a month of growth, the Blood Rice had sprouted tender shoots.

Unfortunately, not all fields could grow Blood Rice.

Only some fertile fields were suitable. If Blood Rice was planted in ordinary fields, the resulting rice would be no different from regular rice.

Even the three major families previously had limited fertile fields that could grow Blood Rice.

The clan had tried to understand the reason behind this, but after thorough inspections, they found no significant discoveries and speculated that it was due to the fertility of the soil in the fertile fields.

From a long-term perspective, the importance of Blood Rice even surpassed the resources of the Disordered Burial Mountain.

After all, no matter how many beasts there were in the Disordered Burial Mountain, their numbers were limited, and their growth also required a considerable amount of time.

But Blood Rice could be harvested at least three times a year, and its yield was substantial, making it suitable for warriors to temper their bodies.

In the future, it would undoubtedly become the key to the clan’s prosperity.

Starting next year, the clan would focus on the cultivation of Blood Rice.

Now that the clan had annexed the Li Family, the number of fertile fields had doubled. If they could harvest once before winter, the warriors in the clan wouldn’t have to worry about body tempering for the time being.

As the person in charge of this matter, Mason Chen would check the growth of the Blood Rice every day.

Since the fertile fields were not too close to the clan, and considering that wild beasts occasionally emerged from the mountains, the clan had built several wooden houses next to these fertile fields and assigned warriors to guard them day and night.

As for the fierce beasts, they had long been cleared out by the clan’s warriors, as Blood Rice was crucial to the clan’s future.

After a thorough inspection, Mason Chen couldn’t help but frown slightly.

The growth of the Blood Rice was slow, and the winter in the Disordered Burial Mountain came early, often becoming particularly cold by mid-November.

When the weather turned cold, the growth of the Blood Rice would slow down even more.

It was already late September, and he wasn’t sure if they would be able to harvest a crop in time.

If it weren’t for the delay caused by the conflict with the Li Family, the clan would have already harvested the third crop of Blood Rice.

Mason Chen slowly stood up and stopped thinking about it. Man proposes, God disposes. He could only hope that winter would come a bit later this year.

…

In the Disordered Burial Mountain, Oliver Chen and his team were engaged in a fierce battle with a Dark Gold Beast at the early stage of the Blood Condensation Realm.

To speed up the hunting process, the clan had divided its high-ranking warriors into three teams, each led by a Blood Condensation Realm warrior.

Oliver Chen was the leader of this team.

The team consisted of five young men in their twenties from the clan. However, their realms were not high; only two were at the late-stage Body Tempering Realm, while the others were only at the early-stage Body Tempering Realm.

For Oliver Chen, dealing with this early-stage Blood Condensation Realm Dark Gold Beast was naturally effortless.

But at this moment, Oliver Chen did not make a move; he was merely observing the battle.

The Clan Chief had told him that the clan couldn’t rely on just one person; others also needed to train and grow through hunting.

Even if the clan had body tempering methods, without experiencing combat, it would be difficult for them to be of great use. In life-and-death moments, it would be even harder to fully utilize their strength.

At this moment, the five were using traps to engage the Dark Gold Beast.

Although it was at the early stage of the Blood Condensation Realm, its intelligence was low, relying only on brute strength. Even though this Dark Gold Beast could easily break a large tree, it was gradually exhausted under the five’s siege.

However, being at the early stage of the Blood Condensation Realm, the five didn’t dare to push too hard, lest they fail at the last moment.

Soon, the Dark Gold Beast was on the verge of collapse, nearly exhausted.

Finally, the five successfully took it down.

“Oliver, we did it!”

After dealing with the Dark Gold Beast, the group was visibly excited.

“Well done,” Oliver Chen praised.

Now, his face had lost some of its coldness and gained a touch of approachability, for reasons that needed no explanation.

Every night, Edwin Chen would teach him some knowledge in his dreams and tell him how to build good relationships with the clan members.

Although Oliver didn’t care much about it, it was his father’s advice, and he had to listen.

After the group finished handling the Dark Gold Beast, a clan member slowly stepped forward and asked, “Oliver, should we continue? There don’t seem to be many fierce beasts left around here.”

Over the past half month, the clan’s hunting had gradually advanced, and the fierce beasts on the outskirts of the Disordered Burial Mountain had almost been cleared out.

Hearing the question, Oliver Chen looked ahead, a hint of contemplation on his face.

They were now on the outer edge of the Disordered Burial Mountain, and moving forward would lead them to the inner area, although it was still some distance from the secret passage leading to the clan.

But there were many fierce beasts inside.

Moreover, the territory of Innate Realm beasts was quite extensive. If the Green Wolf had indeed settled in the Disordered Burial Mountain, continuing forward might lead to an encounter with the patrolling Green Wolf.

If he encountered it alone, he could only flee, let alone now that he was with several clan members. Remembering his father’s and the Clan Chief’s advice, Oliver Chen shook his head slightly.

“We’ve gained enough for today. Let’s head back.”

“Alright!”

The clan member didn’t say much. After packing up, the group prepared to return.

On the way back, Oliver Chen felt the surging Qi and Blood within him.

It had been nearly a month since he broke through to the late stage of the Blood Condensation Realm. During this month, he could feel his progress and had some understanding of the Qi and Blood like mercury that would come with the great success of the Blood Condensation Realm.

All of this was thanks to the Sophora Leaf he had before. Moreover, as the number one in the clan, he also had access to some clan resources.

However, the clan couldn’t help him much now. Realm advancement still depended on himself.

Although he had made significant progress this month, it would take at least another year to reach the level he had after using the Sophora Leaf.

As for the Innate Realm, he had no clue at all. Neither his father nor the clan could help him with that.

After all, the strongest warriors in the clan were only at the late stage of the Blood Condensation Realm, and there was a significant gap between the late stage of the Blood Condensation Realm and the Innate Realm.

Lost in thought, the group soon saw the clan in the distance. Oliver Chen decided to stop thinking about it and focus on his cultivation after returning.

Soon, they arrived at the clan’s gate.

The two guards at the gate cheered when they saw Oliver Chen returning.

“Oliver is back!”

As the number one in the clan, Oliver Chen was now well-known throughout the clan. Even many clan elders were very polite to him.

According to the clan’s rules, Oliver Chen was now considered a clan elder, but he had declined, saying that his seniority was too low to take on the role.

Ethan Chen did not force him.
