Xie Hongyuan said with a puzzled look on her face.
“That’s actually what I meant.”
After hearing these words, Xie Hongyuan showed a trace of astonishment:
"Patriarch, does the clan no longer need the blood rice of the Chen family?"
Xie Yanmiao smiled and shook his head:
"Of course not, but the Shi family sent a message two days ago that they are ready to cooperate with the family. The condition of cooperation is that the family will no longer obstruct the fight between the Shi family and the Chen family. In return, the Shi family needs to hand over half of the blood rice to the family."
"Only a few elders in the tribe know about this matter for now, so I haven't had time to inform you yet."
Xie Hongyuan was startled when she heard the news:
"The family wants to cooperate with the Shi family?"
"good."
"But the Chen family has the Zhou family behind them. Isn't the Shi family afraid of revenge from the Zhou family?"
Xie Yanmiao chuckled after hearing this:
"But what does that have to do with the family? That's something the Shi family should worry about."
Xie Hongyuan frowned:
"Clan leader, I still feel something is wrong. The Shi family has evil ambitions. If they can really deal with the Chen family under the protection of the Zhou family, then the family may not be able to restrain the Shi family. If the Shi family refuses to share the blood rice with the family, or has the support of other families behind them, it will be difficult for the family to deal with it."
"Now our family is on good terms with the Chen family. If we can maintain this relationship, the family will definitely have a steady supply of blood rice in the future. Compared to leaving the blood rice in the Shi family, the current situation is more beneficial to the family."
Xie Yanmiao was a little surprised after hearing this, then smiled and nodded:
"Yes, you can think of this, which is much better than the others."
"But among families, there are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies."
"Now that the three major families are working together, it will be difficult for the family to break the current situation in a short period of time. The only way for the family to fly higher is to cooperate with the Shi family temporarily and break the family's obstruction."
"But……"
Xie Hongyuan wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Xie Yanmiao, who raised his hand:
"Okay, I have discussed the countermeasures with the clan elders. You don't have to worry too much. Since you have already broken through the Xiantian realm, remember to get the corresponding resources from the clan, practice well, and strive to become a clan elder as soon as possible."
Hearing the tone of voice that brooked no refusal, Xie Hongyuan could only bow helplessly and say:
"Hong Yuan, take your leave!"
When the door of the hall was closed, the sadness on Xie Hongyuan's brow did not diminish.
Although her family was quite powerful, she still felt uneasy about cooperating with the Shi family, and the relationship she had worked so hard to establish with the Chen family would now be gone.
Most importantly, she felt that there was no conflict of interest between her family and the Chen family, and that the Chen family had great potential. If they could continue to cooperate in depth, the family might have an extra trustworthy ally.
However, the clan leaders obviously had completely different ideas from his own.
Although she has good potential, she does not have much say in the clan. It seems that she still needs to become a family elder first.
To become the patriarch of the Xie family, it is not as simple as just becoming a martial artist at the innate realm, there are other requirements as well.
Xie Hongyuan had a determined look on her face, and there was no sign of fear in her eyes.
It’s a pity that she can’t do anything about the Chen family. She can only pray that they can survive the attack of the Shi family.
However, in his opinion, if the family chooses not to intervene, the Chen family’s chances of survival are not great.
You have to know that when the Shi family goes all out, it cannot be compared with the previous small-scale fights.
However, before the Shi family took action, she could still give a warning.
…
"Clan leader, this thing can be transplanted, but it requires the Guanyin soil."
A few days later, in the family lobby, Chen Xingzhen nodded after receiving the news:
"Okay, then let the tribesmen transplant the remaining few Red Dust Burials into the cave of the Five-Leaf Flower."
This was an idea Chen Xingzhen had long ago. The cave where the family's five-leaf flower was located was remote and dark, which was suitable for the growth of this Burial Red Dust.
Moreover, through experiments conducted by the tribesmen, it was found that these Red Dust Burials were extremely effective against ferocious beasts of low realms and ordinary wild beasts. Not too much was needed to confuse the ferocious beasts and cause them to commit suicide.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that there are so many dead bones of ferocious beasts around the Burial Red Dust. Of course, the bigger reason is because of the cave that leads to the outside world, otherwise the ferocious beasts will not be able to find there.
The reason why Zang Hongchen has been able to survive for so long is because it has absorbed the blood of ferocious beasts.
If it can be transplanted to the cave where the family's five-leaf flower is located, the five-leaf flower inside can also be protected accordingly, and there is no need to worry about being disturbed by ferocious beasts that accidentally enter. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
After resolving the matter of Zang Hongchen, Chen Tianyu turned and asked:
"How is the recent excavation of the ruins going?"
"Reporting to the clan leader, the clan has sent many people to dig and the harvest is quite rich."
"First, the family has already moved a lot of the hard stone wall outside the ruins, and will add it to the family's outer wall in two days. In addition, the family has also dug up a lot of Guanyin soil, part of which has been placed around the five-leaf flower, and the other part has been used in the family's fertile fields."
"Um."
Chen Xingzhen nodded after hearing this, but still said:
"This is the first time the family has come into contact with this substance, so it is a mistake. Don't use it on a large scale to avoid any accidents with the family's blood rice."
"Clan leader, the elders of Tianjing and Tianyu have already reminded us, so the family will only use half an acre of good farmland for this experiment."
Chen Xingzhen smiled. Now that Tianjing Tianyu were in the clan, he felt much more at ease.
"What about those bones? Did you get anything?"
Chen Xingzhen continued to ask.
Logically speaking, there should only be bones of ferocious beasts around the Burial of Red Dust, but in fact, most of the things brought back from the last exploration of the ruins by the family were human bones.
However, no one knows where these bones came from, but what the family knows is that those strange bones seem to have undergone unique changes under certain conditions, thus developing into their current appearance.
"Reporting to the tribe leader, the tribe members are stepping up the excavation. According to the news reported by the tribe members yesterday, they have already gained a lot."
"Well, let them be more careful. Although the ruins have collapsed, there may still be other dangers inside. We must be on guard. Moreover, most of the tribesmen who are going to dig this time are teenagers in the tribe, so they need to be more careful."
"Yes, Patriarch."
After the clansmen left, Chen Xingzhen turned and walked towards the ancestral hall.
He was still a little worried, so he went to the ancestral temple to pray and see if the sacred tree could give him some hints.
By the way, I'll ask my father about any recent progress made by the tribesmen there.
The Shi family is eyeing him covetously, and it is really hard for him to feel at ease.
