"Uncle, the Chen family is just a small family in a remote area. I have also carefully examined the blood rice. Although it can temper the body, it is not very effective for warriors in the middle stage of the blood coagulation realm. It is just a small matter. Let me come here. Why do you have to come here in person?"
On the way back, a young man with a puzzled look on his face who was flying on the back of the bird in front asked Zhou Huaian who was standing beside him.
Although they were flying against the wind, the two people on the bird's back looked contented and didn't feel anything at all.
Looking closely, it is not difficult to find that on the bird's back, there is a layer of invisible energy that envelopes the two of them. It is precisely because of this layer of energy that the two are not bothered by the wind and can talk easily.
Hearing the young man's question, Zhou Huaian shook his head slightly and said:
"Hong Lang, let me ask you, what is the situation in the clan now?"
The young man pondered, then answered:
"My uncle, the clan leader is about to abdicate, and many clan members are still observing the situation. The only ones who can compete for the position of clan leader are Uncle Huai Ming and Uncle Huai Chang."
When he said this, Zhou Honglang was even more puzzled. After all, the clan was now undergoing a generational change, and the position of clan leader was particularly important. At this time, shouldn't his uncle strive to gain recognition from other clan members?
Thinking of the support of his clansmen, Zhou Honglang was thoughtful, while Zhou Huaian said calmly:
"Yes, the situation in the clan is unclear now. The position of clan leader has always been obtained by the capable. If you want to fight against foreign enemies, you must first stabilize the country. But if you want to gain the support of the clan members, you can't just talk."
"The blood rice may not be as effective for warriors in the Blood Coagulation Realm, but many of the younger generations of the clan are still in the Body Tempering Realm. Moreover, this blood rice can be harvested every three months. In the long run, this blood rice will surely become a great help to the family. It is worth my personal trip."
After hearing that the blood rice could be harvested in March, Zhou Honglang was slightly surprised. Even the Fengxian Flower in the clan, with the help of the family totem, could not produce much in a year.
Compared with the blood rice, the quantity is even scarcer, although the effects of the two are different.
But if the quantity is large enough, we can relax the quality requirements a bit.
"Uncle, since this blood rice is abundant, why don't we just take down the Chen family, then wouldn't all the blood rice belong to the family?"
Zhou Huaian chuckled after hearing this:
"Okay, then I'll send you over to plant blood rice. Are you willing?"
Zhou Honglang thought about it for a moment and quickly figured out the reason.
This place is too remote. Even for the tribe's wind-chasing falcon, it would take seven days to travel.
Besides, this place is far from any village or shop, so it is difficult to buy things that can help improve one's state of mind. It is so remote, if we let him come here, wouldn't that be equivalent to exile?
Besides, growing blood rice requires a lot of manpower, and I’m afraid not many tribesmen are willing to come.
Zhou Honglang, having figured it out, said no more.
Seeing this, Zhou Huaian continued:
"Although the yield of this blood rice is quite good, the upper limit is not high. It is only a piece of cake to destroy the Chen family. However, it is not just the Chen family that belongs to my Zhou family. There are other small families as well."
"It is the warriors in the clan that determine the strength of the clan, but the family's reputation is equally important."
"If we send people from the clan to grow blood rice, it will inevitably disperse the clan's strength. It's fine with just one Chen family, but if there are two more Chen families and a few more kinds of blood rice, how are the clan members going to practice?"
Zhou Honglang lowered his head slightly after hearing Zhou Huaian's analysis:
"That's what my uncle said."
"Are you about to break through to the Xiantian realm?"
Zhou Huaian suddenly asked.
Zhou Honglang looked ashamed:
"My nephew is stupid. I'm afraid it will take some time for him to break through."
"If I can't master one realm, I have to consider developing in other directions."
"Next time we collect blood rice, come over here."
Zhou Honglang nodded in agreement.
When a family trains its members, it will also focus on certain directions. If someone has a good talent for martial arts, the family will certainly focus on training this aspect. However, if someone has average talent for martial arts, the family also has other paths to choose from.
Although he also wanted to take the former path, talent was something that varied from person to person and could not be forced.
Zhou Honglang looked around and also noticed Chen Qingyu on the Wind-Chasing Falcon behind him.
He seems to be about the same age as himself, and comes from a small, unknown family, but now he has reached the innate realm.
This made Zhou Honglang sigh even more that fate was unfair.
But there were too many unfair things, and he was not angry. The talented members of the family were not inferior to Chen Qingyu.
At the same time, Zhou Honglang also looked puzzled and asked Zhou Huaian next to him again:
"Uncle, why did you bring this person with you?"
Zhou Huaian replied calmly:
"The Chen family is located in a remote area, with little contact with the outside world. This person is the one with the highest realm in his family, but he is just a frog in the well. It is inevitable that he will have other thoughts in the future."
"This time I took him to visit the family so that he could see the strength of the family."
"Ignorance is bliss. When he knows the strength and status of my Zhou family, he will naturally have no other thoughts."
Zhou Honglang suddenly realized something and a hint of pride appeared on his face.
Although his realm is not as high as this person's, he still has a family behind him.
The innate realm might be this person’s limit, but it is definitely not Zhou Honglang’s limit!
This time, the advantage is his!
Behind the two of them, Chen Qingyu sat on the back of the Wind-Chasing Falcon, silently looking at the unique scenery below.
Although this was his first time experiencing the feeling of flying, he remained calm.
In Chen Qingyu's mind, he also recalled the instructions given by clan leader Chen Xingzhen when he was leaving.
This time he came out not just for sightseeing, but also for a family mission.
The first task is to see the strength of the Zhou family.
The second task is to remember the route you have taken. It is best to have a map so that the family can analyze the situation here and choose the most suitable route to connect with the world outside the Mass Grave Hill.
The task is heavy and he needs to be careful.
…
In the family, with the departure of Zhou Huaian and others, the clan members have been preparing for the planting of the second crop of blood rice.
Although there is a natural blood spring flowing under the fertile fields, after each crop of blood rice is planted, the land needs to be renovated and the rice straw burned to make the fertile fields more suitable for the growth of blood rice.
In addition, there are not many domestic animals raised in the tribe, so the tribesmen need to go to the mass grave mountain to capture some for breeding, and sacrifices must be made to the family sacred tree every seven days, so there can be no delay.
In addition to these necessary family matters, Chen Xingzhen mobilized his clansmen to open up a new road in the mountains and forests north of the Mass Burial Mountain.
Chen Xingzhen didn’t know the end of this road, but the direction of this road was towards the direction where Zhou Huaian and others left.
