In the following period, Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi entered a brief period of calm and development.
For a full week, the lords were cleaning up various parts of the wasteland planet. With everyone's "cooperative efforts," most of the planet had been cleaned up, leaving only some extremely troublesome areas.
These places are generally guarded by powerful groups of dark creatures, or inhabited by powerful beings similar to Oros. Even if the proud lords join forces, they are not easy to deal with.
During this week, Ye Chen also subdued the twelve dragons he had extorted from Chris. Since they weren't his own kin, their loyalty was usually a big problem, but with Oros around, anyone who dared to disobey would get a beating.
As an ancient, almost extinct skeletal dragon of the dragon race, possessing strength up to rank 6, dealing with these newborn dragons is nothing to him. Brats? He can just give them a beating, and if that doesn't work, he can give them another one. After all, they're not his own children.
"Do you understand?" Oros asked, looking at the bruised and battered young dragons.
"Understood!" All the young dragons nodded silently, even though they didn't know exactly what they were supposed to understand.
"You understand now, what are you still doing here? Why aren't you going to sleep and improve your strength? Are you just waiting to be beaten up?" Oros roared, and all the young dragons trembled and scurried off to the dragon den that Oros had prepared for them to sleep.
The way dragons increase their strength is simple: sleep and live. The longer they sleep and live, the stronger they become. So it's no problem for Oros to send them to sleep. What are they doing out there all day? They'd rather sleep than cause trouble.
"Hehe!" Ye Chen had also seen what was happening on the dragon's side. He chuckled and shook his head without saying anything, his mind more focused on the crops in his territory.
Currently, his territory has a wide variety of crops and livestock, but they are all of low level, mostly at level 0 or 1, with very few at level 2, let alone level 3 or 4.
Such ingredients cannot help improve the strength of the clan, especially for clans that are already at the 3rd rank. These foods can only fill their stomachs; to improve their strength, they need higher-level foods.
However, due to the limitations of the territory's level, he does have high-level crops and livestock, but he cannot plant or raise them. Otherwise, it would be like draining the pond to catch all the fish. After raising one batch, they would not even be able to continue to reproduce, and once they were eaten, there would be nothing left.
Therefore, Ye Chen truly felt a food crisis. He didn't lack low-level ingredients, but he lacked high-level ingredients. He didn't even have enough ingredients to feed the dragons, so he could only let them go to sleep.
"High-grade spirit soil is so rare. There's almost no spirit soil that can be planted at level 3 or even level 4. It's so difficult~~~" Ye Chen sighed helplessly as he browsed through the Duobao Trading Network.
His territory has various planting bonuses, but it is limited by the spirit soil, which makes it impossible to grow any high-level crops. This is a problem that all new lords have to face.
"Ye Chen, look at this!" Suddenly, Jian Mengyi's voice rang out. Ye Chen looked up and saw her running over with a bag of seeds.
"I just opened a dark treasure chest, and these are four-leaf clover seeds!" Jian Mengyi said excitedly, handing the bag in her hand to Ye Chen.
"What did you say? A four-leaf clover?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
"Yes! Four-leaf clover, four-leaf clover seeds that can purify dark energy, there are 10 in total!" Jian Mengyi said excitedly. There was no other reason than that four-leaf clover seeds were too precious for the lord.
These seeds cannot reproduce; their only source is through merit exchanges from Dark Chests and Heritage Stones.
Moreover, these plants are not edible; their sole purpose is to purify the aura of darkness, and they are currently the only known things capable of purifying the aura of darkness.
It's important to understand that their so-called cleanup is merely eliminating the dark creatures on the wasteland planet.
Even though the dark creatures have been cleared away, the dark aura on the wasteland planet remains, making it unsuitable for survival. New dark creatures will continue to be born, and the planet continues to be eroded by darkness.
Only by purifying all the dark energy can this planet revert to being an ordinary meteorite planet. Countless years later, the life force on this planet may be restored, and life may be reborn, radiating vitality.
"Great! That's fantastic! Four-leaf clovers are rare, and in the Dark World, they can only be obtained when you conquer a completely new plane. They're almost impossible to find in the Trial Space. We never expected to hit the jackpot!" Ye Chen said excitedly.
Although there are only ten four-leaf clover seeds, if they can be planted, they can gain a lot of merit in the trial world, which can be exchanged for countless good things in the inheritance stone tablet, and even this wasteland planet can be saved!
"Then hurry up and plant them! We can try to save this planet!" Jian Mengyi said excitedly, stuffing the packet of seeds into Ye Chen's arms without thinking.
"No, no, this is something the two of us got. We shouldn't just give it to Fatty and the others, we should at least split it in half. I can't keep all the benefits for myself!" Ye Chen paused for a moment, then smiled and said, taking out only five seeds and leaving the rest for Jian Mengyi.
“But… your clan is quite good at planting, isn’t it? And you have a lot of enemies, so planting will help you improve your strength faster!” Jian Mengyi said through gritted teeth. No one would refuse this, but she was willing to give it to Ye Chen. The key is that Ye Chen has recently made too many enemies. Not to mention Chris, Lin Hu hasn’t even come looking for him yet. He is obviously holding back some big move.
"This isn't something just about who's good at planting; it's about the development of the territory. You also have the Inheritance Stone Tablet, so you know what you can exchange for. There aren't many ways to get merit in the Trial World!" Ye Chen said seriously. Some things can be given up, and some things cannot.
Although the two are together, he shouldn't hinder Jian Mengyi's territory development because of him. After all, the two are together to become better together.
"Alright then!" Jian Mengyi understood the key point. Although she wanted Ye Chen to become stronger, she didn't insist and returned to her territory with the remaining five seeds.
Ye Chen then handed the five seeds to Eve, repeatedly instructing her to take good care of them, as these five seeds were related to the future of the entire territory.
