For a moment, Wang Shouzhe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
This bloodline awakening—coming and going. He had long awaited this bloodline talent, but in the end, it turned out to be a support role.
Could it be that he would rely on a few sisters and ancestors to hold the front line while he, Wang Shouzhe, supports from the back?
However, upon careful consideration, this might not necessarily be a bad thing.
As the clan leader, he is the foundation of the clan, the central soul.
Whether on the battlefield or in other situations, his fall would be a fatal blow to the family.
The wood bloodline talent seems not to have explosive power in combat, but it certainly possesses the most tenacious life force. Even if you can’t take them down immediately, it’s the kind that can eventually outlast you.
Moreover, the potential it holds is also incredibly vast. Any bloodline talent naturally has its strengths and weaknesses, it’s most important to see how it is used.
Additionally, the wood bloodline talent is quite beneficial for longevity. The Spirit Platform Realm has a limit at two hundred years, but most Spirit Platform Realm cultivators do not live to two hundred.
But with the wood bloodline talent, the body’s conditioning is relatively good. As long as nothing unexpected happens midway, living up to the limit is not a big problem, and surpassing it is quite possible.
For enemies of the same age and realm, it is highly possible to laugh last by relying on a longer lifespan...
There is also another very important point.
Through the process of accelerating the growth of several plants, he discovered that after the bloodline awakening, his affinity and understanding of plants were rapidly strengthening.
This is extremely beneficial for the family’s future development.
Take the current rice seeds commonly used by the family, for example. The yield per season is about three bushels. But in Wang Shouzhe’s memory, the yield per acre on Earth far exceeds this number.
If he could cultivate higher quality rice seeds, wheat seeds... it wouldn’t take much. If the yield per acre increased by one bushel, the family’s productivity would suddenly skyrocket.
Moreover, there are spirit seed plants, etc.
The plants currently used by the family for cultivation and production are all ordinary varieties of spirit plants, common goods. If, relying on this bloodline ability, there is a chance to improve varieties, wouldn’t that be something?
The more Wang Shouzhe thought about it, the more he felt the marvel of his awakened bloodline talent. He just had little understanding of bloodline talents. Tomorrow, he still had to ask the ancestor, what exactly is this wood bloodline talent?
Almost simultaneously.
Outside Changning Guard City.
In a secret manor, the moon was full.
A gorgeously dressed middle-aged man with an imposing presence was watching the spirit fish in the small lake as they darted around to feed.
From time to time, he would grab a few ice spirit silkworms and throw them down, causing the handsome little predatory spirit fish to scramble for them.
Behind him. Updates are released by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
The two ancestors of the Liu and Zhao Clans, Liu Zhide and Zhao Bojun, stood with their hands at their sides, not daring to take a deep breath, as if they were servants waiting for orders at any moment.
After a long time, the charismatic middle-aged man finished feeding the fish, turned, and sat down to drink tea: "Liu Zhide, Zhao Bojun. Fifty years ago, we made an agreement, and since then we have not met. Why do you two want to break the agreement today?"
Liu Zhide’s cheek twitched slightly, cautiously saying, "We have nowhere else to turn, so we come to seek your help, Senior."
"The matter of that year has been settled." The middle-aged man drank his tea, speaking calmly, "You have also obtained the positions you should have. We owe each other nothing."
"Senior." Zhao Bojun said gravely, "But do not forget, should the Wang Family rise, once they know the truth of that year..."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man smiled faintly, "Elder Bojun, could it be that you are threatening me?"
Zhao Bojun broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly bowing, "Bojun wouldn’t dare, but our two clans are now at a life-and-death juncture. Please, senior, do not withhold your support."
The middle-aged man drank his tea, half-closing his eyes.
"Senior, the situation is this." Liu Zhide stepped forward cautiously, "Currently, the arrogance of the Wang Family is mainly because of that new clan leader, Wang Shouzhe. If he can be eliminated, the rise of the Wang Family will certainly be curtailed."
Seeing the middle-aged man did not object.
Liu Zhide added, "But that Wang Shouzhe is very cunning, doing things unexpectedly, with many trump cards in hand. Moreover, he hasn’t been stepping out lately, making it difficult for us to find an opportunity."
"We have now received news that the Wang Family will once again hold the traditional autumn-winter hunting event, which will be our Liu and Zhao Clans’ only chance for a comeback. If we can take out Wang Shouzhe, and even Wang Longyan, and those younger generation members... the Wang Family will be like autumn locusts, not lasting long."
The middle-aged man drank his tea, sneering slightly, "You two dignified ancestors, and yet you cannot deal with a half-disabled Wang Longyan?"
Liu Zhide and Zhao Bojun exchanged an awkward glance.
Zhao Bojun said helplessly, "The senior may not know, but although that Wang Shouzhe is young, he is as cunning as a fox and afraid of death. Moreover, his high-profile move to participate in the autumn-winter hunt may not be without the idea of luring us out and then eliminating us."
"As the saying goes, plan for the worst, we must estimate that besides Wang Longyan, there is at least one, possibly even two Spirit Platform Realm cultivators by his side."
"Therefore, we need a strong reinforcement that can hold Wang Longyan at bay." Liu Zhide added, "Only if that’s ensured, Bojun and I can hold off the two potential Spirit Platform Realm cultivators that may appear. Our clans’ other elite clansmen will be enough to kill Wang Shouzhe and a bunch of juniors."
