Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

When the dozen or so people saw Lucas Chen and Alexander Chen blocking the doorway, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

These two didn’t look like bad people.

But the pleas for mercy from the old man inside and the cries of the young girl revealed their crimes!

Coupled with the damaged door, the situation was self-explanatory.

“You beasts, what have you done?!”

A middle-aged man, holding a wooden stick, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

“We’re here to deliver grain.”

Alexander replied directly, picking up the bag of grain rice that had fallen to the ground and placing it back on the cart to avoid it getting dirty.

“You call this delivering grain?!”

The other villagers were equally furious, clearly seeing this as a robbery in broad daylight!

Everyone was ready for a confrontation.

Lucas was a bit dumbfounded, not knowing how to explain the situation.

But to prevent the villagers from attacking, Lucas silently channeled his blood energy and then kicked a large stone nearby into several pieces!

Feeling the pain in his foot, Lucas maintained a stoic expression, trying to emulate the cold demeanor his clan brother Oliver often displayed.

Fortunately, he was in the mid-stage of the Body Tempering Realm, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to break the stone.

The villagers, who were about to attack, were stunned by the scene before them, looking at Lucas with disbelief, their intent to fight vanishing instantly.

Their bodies were no match for that large stone!

The middle-aged man leading them was also taken aback, muttering in surprise:

“A warrior?”

Seeing the situation stabilize, Lucas slowly spoke:

“Everyone, I am Lucas Chen of the Chen Clan. Today, under the orders of the Clan Chief, I am here to deliver grain to you.”

“As for what just happened, it was a misunderstanding!”

“Yes, a misunderstanding.”

Alexander nodded in agreement.

Seeing Lucas and Alexander’s calm demeanor and remembering Lucas’s display of strength, the villagers began to doubt their initial assumptions.

Moreover, the grain rice on the cart couldn’t possibly have come from Old Man Sun’s house.

“Everyone, make way, the village chief is here.”

Soon, an elderly man arrived, panting. Although he hadn’t seen the earlier scene, the villagers had described it to him.

Seeing the grain rice on the cart and Lucas and Alexander, the old man quickly said:

“Move aside, what are you doing? These two are from the Chen Clan, here to deliver grain!”

“Old Sun, come out and explain.”

The old man from the wooden house quickly came out. Seeing that Lucas and Alexander were just teenagers, his fearful expression changed slightly.

But he couldn’t be blamed.

Hearing someone banging on the door and shouting for him to open it, how could he dare?

Fortunately, the misunderstanding was quickly cleared up. After a few villagers apologized, Lucas said it was fine, admitting he had been too reckless.

Soon, the two began distributing the grain rice to the villagers.

They had brought a considerable amount of grain rice, and since Stone Village only had about a dozen households, there was still plenty left.

After discussing with Alexander, they quickly distributed the remaining grain rice.

To compensate for the damaged wooden door of Old Man Sun and his daughter, Oliver gave them a bit more grain rice.

While distributing the grain rice, Alexander made sure to note the number of people and households in the village, as instructed by the Clan Chief.

By the time they finished, it was already dark.

“Are you two leaving already? It’s so late, why not stay in Stone Village for the night?”

“Although we don’t have much, we can offer some simple food. You two must be hungry, right?”

Hearing that they were returning to the clan, the village chief quickly invited them to stay.

Not only the village chief, but other villagers also warmly invited them.

Facing the villagers’ enthusiasm, Lucas and Alexander hesitated, their stomachs growling involuntarily.

Warriors might have great strength, but they also consumed food quickly, and they had spent a lot of energy traveling during the day.

Moreover, it was indeed quite dark, so they were very hesitant.

“Why not stay for the night as an apology for our poor hospitality during the day? You can return tomorrow.”

Persuaded by the village chief, Lucas and Alexander no longer hesitated.

They were indeed hungry, and returning tomorrow didn’t seem like a bad idea.

…

“Clan Chief, how are things?”

“Where are they now?”

In the Chen Clan, Elijah Chen asked worriedly.

All the other clan members had returned, but Oliver and Alexander were still missing, so he had to ask the Clan Chief.

“Don’t worry, I just consulted the Sacred Tree and the ancestors. They are safe and seem to be staying in a village.”

Hearing this, Elijah was no longer worried.

Since the Sacred Tree had given guidance, there was no problem.

But when those two returned, he wouldn’t go easy on them.

“Elijah, how are things these days?”

Hearing Ethan Chen’s question, Elijah immediately replied:

“Clan Chief, according to the recent statistics from our clan members, there are thirty-eight villages of various sizes near Disordered Burial Mountain. The largest village has forty households, and the smallest has only eight, with a total population of about fifteen hundred. We have distributed over three thousand pounds of grain rice.”

“In some of the larger villages, we found a few Body Tempering Realm warriors…”

“Good.”

Ethan nodded slightly. This number was within his expectations.

It seemed that the name of the Chen Clan in Disordered Burial Mountain had already spread to the nearby villages, greatly facilitating the clan’s future development.

As for the warriors in the villages, it wasn’t surprising, as long as they weren’t related to the Li Clan or the Liu Family.

The discovered warriors had only just entered the Body Tempering Realm and had no techniques, making it impossible for them to advance further.

As for whether to recruit these warriors, Ethan’s answer was no.

The clan always valued blood relations.

High-level warriors who maintained the clan must be clan members to ensure the clan’s longevity.

Although recruiting other warriors could quickly increase the clan’s strength, they were not family, and in the long run, it wouldn’t benefit the clan’s development.

However, once the clan had more warriors and became stronger, it wouldn’t be impossible to recruit some experienced warriors as guards or instructors for the clan members.

Although the ancestors could appear in dreams, it was only at night, and they couldn’t personally guide the clan members.

And the Blood Condensation Realm warriors in the clan were also quite inexperienced in certain realms, which was a weakness of the clan.

But the clan hadn’t reached that stage yet, so there was no rush.

Ethan then called Mason Chen and others to ask about other details.

Learning that many clan members had gained something while distributing grain rice, Ethan smiled again.

In a while, they could notify the villages and hold a matchmaking event in a suitable place.

With the clan members’ favorable conditions, many villagers would likely be interested.

P.S. Originally, it was two pounds per household, now it’s two pounds per person.
