Fortunately, the plan went smoothly and was kept secret.
"Now you know the importance of learning, right? Tianquan has done a great job in this regard. You still need to learn more from Tianquan in the future."
Chen Tianquan, who was praised, also had a hint of pride and joy on his face.
It seems that his recent efforts have been effective.
"But we still need to be cautious recently. The enemy's scouts seem to have left, but there are definitely still eyes on the family's blood rice in secret. Before this crop of blood rice is harvested, the family must not be careless."
"Yes, Patriarch!"
The clan members’ responses were heard in the ancestral hall, and then silence returned to the original state.
Above the ancestral hall, Ji Yang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the beginning, he is now much stronger, but there are still things that are beyond his ability.
In some aspects, he was powerless and could only rely on his family to be self-reliant.
This is both a training and a test.
If one wants to grow safely in this world, relying on just one tree is not enough.
The family crisis seems to have disappeared now, but it will not end. I don’t know what crisis the family will face next.
But as long as the family is given some time, I think all the hardships will eventually become stepping stones for the family.
In the following half month, the family returned to normal.
But beneath this normality, there is hard work that ordinary people cannot see.
The defenses in the fertile fields were lax, but in fact they were loose on the outside but tight on the inside, with many more clansmen secretly guarding them. Even the many tributaries of the blood spring were controlled by the family to prevent similar incidents.
Although we have the sacred tree, we cannot rely solely on it for everything. It is better to be able to avoid it.
The blood rice in the field is also growing safely, and the day for harvesting the blood rice is getting closer and closer.
Although the leaves of the blood rice were removed halfway through, the tribesmen discovered in the past half month that the blood rice seemed to grow better without the leaves.
This discovery surprised and delighted the tribe members. After all, if they had discovered it earlier, they might have been able to harvest more blood rice from the previous crops.
However, the family also plans to use two acres of land for an experiment in the next crop of blood rice to see how big the difference is between the blood rice with the leaves removed and the blood rice grown normally.
There is a sense of prosperity among the clan.
Every morning, the sound of clan members reciting can be heard in the school. In the afternoon, the sound of many young people practicing martial arts can be heard in the square.
Everything is on track.
During this half month, several family members have made breakthroughs in their realms. Among them, Chen Tianjing and Chen Tianyu, with the help of the cultivation resources previously obtained by the family and the effect of the family's own five-leaf flower, broke through to the great success of blood coagulation realm.
Now, the two of them are only one step away from the innate realm.
The two of them had already comprehended the strength of the Innate Realm, and a breakthrough was only a matter of time.
However, the family also faced a new problem, that is, the cultivation resources that were exchanged with the other three families in Yong'an City last time have now been completely used up and nothing is left.
Without the supply of resources, the growth of the clan members' realm gradually slowed down, especially warriors like Chen Tianjing and Chen Tianyu who were about to break through the innate realm, who needed a large amount of qi and blood.
The little blood rice left in the family was of little effect to the two of them. If there were no new resources, it would probably take them some time to break through to the Innate Realm.
Fortunately, the family’s new crop of blood rice will be harvested in a few days!
…
"How is it going?"
In Yong'an City, Shi Pojing, who had already returned to his family, looked at the clan member who came forward to report and asked.
Half a month ago, after the two elders of the family left, he continued to observe for two more days before returning to the clan.
But even after returning to the tribe, he still sent his tribesmen to secretly gather information.
After all, this matter is of great importance, and the patriarch has handed it over to him, so he must be serious and careful.
"Brother Hui, for the past half month, the clan members have been secretly observing. After the Chen family burned the previous crop of blood rice, it seems that they have already started to plant a new crop of blood rice."
"In addition, the Chen family also sent people to dig a lot of holes around the fertile fields and buried some things."
Shi Po was shocked and chuckled:
"Every failure is a learning experience. The Shi family probably dug the pit to cut off the tributary of the natural blood spring and prevent others from poisoning it again."
But the poison will be enough next time, and that blood fountain will belong to the family in the end.
When he heard that the Chen family wanted to plant new blood rice, Shi Pojing sneered:
"Even if we give the Chen family some time, as long as the Red Lady poison is still there, it will be useless no matter how many more we plant."
"Brother, what you said makes sense!"
"Okay, go ahead and explore."
Seeing that there was no other new news, Shi Pojing waved his hand and signaled the tribesmen in front of him to leave.
But just as he was about to leave, Shi Pojing behind him suddenly stood up:
"Wait, you said the Chen family is planting new blood rice again?"
"Brother Hui, it is true. When the tribe members spied on us, they often found members of the Chen family entering and leaving the fertile fields, and the servants who were previously responsible for growing blood rice have all returned."
Shi Po frowned after hearing this.
Just as he said, he had placed Red Lady's poison in the blood spring. As long as the blood spring was still there, it would be impossible to successfully grow blood rice.
But if this is the case, the Chen family’s top priority should be to find an antidote rather than continue wasting time on the fertile fields. He doesn’t believe that there is not a single smart person in the Chen family.
Thinking of this, Shi Pojing asked:
"Have the members of the Chen family sent to Yong'an City and the surrounding areas received any reply?"
"No, the clansmen that the Chen family sent out before did not reply. A few days ago, they sent out a new group of clansmen, several of whom are in Yong'an City, and are still asking around for antidotes."
Hearing this, Shi Pojing felt relieved.
It seems he was overthinking it.
The poison of Red Lady is not so easy to cure, but the natural blood spring may be able to dilute it a little, but the toxicity remains.
As for the Chen family members still going in and out of the fertile fields, perhaps they are still conducting research. This makes perfect sense.
This second-rate family is still too shallow and ignorant in these aspects.
But when they realize that these actions are futile, they will probably give up.
In addition, the two elders had personally investigated it before, so they thought there shouldn't be any big problems.
"Okay, it's alright, go ahead, and remember to report once a day from now on."
"Yes, brother."
After the clan members left, Shi Pojing walked towards the family hall. He needed to report the current situation to the clan leader.
