Reincarnated as a Di Chapter 67: New changes

Chapter 67: New changes

As night fell, Noah Ji’s consciousness gazed into the sky.

The stars were far more brilliant and clear than in his previous life.

As a sliver of cold moonlight rose, the Sophora leaves on Noah Ji’s branches began to glow faintly once more.

However, unlike before, tonight’s glow was much brighter, casting the entire Ancestral Hall in a soft white light.

This change was due to a new cluster of leaves that had sprouted on Noah Ji’s branches.

The reason for this new growth was that Noah Ji’s vitality had surpassed one hundred, causing this transformation.

Noah Ji silently absorbed the moonlight while opening his status panel:

【Na: Noah Ji】

【Race: Shadowy Sophora Tree】

【Vitality: 100.5】

【Supernatural Power: Eye of Insight, Reversal Pill, One Leaf Hindrance, Soul Condensation, Armor Overlay】

【Technique: Lunar Eclipse, Gathering Yin】

【Combat Skill: Grand Ancestor Long Fist (Can pass on once)】

【Qi and Blood: 78 (Can be converted to vitality)】

【Spiritual Power: 22】

【Deduction Points: 6】

【Deductible】

【Status: Absorbing moonlight…】

After his vitality broke through one hundred, not only did a new cluster of leaves appear, but his roots underground also spread twenty ters beyond the Ancestral Hall.

Twenty ters wasn’t very far and couldn’t cover the entire clan.

However, Noah Ji’s roots didn’t grow in a straight line; they spread outwards in a twenty-ter radius from his center.

If one were to dig up the soil above his roots, they would see the vast network of roots hidden underground.

At this mont, Noah Ji finally understood why he couldn’t move after binding with the clan.

People thrive when they move, but trees die when they are uprooted.

Even though he was the Sacred Tree of the clan, he wouldn’t survive long if he were removed from the soil.

However, as he continued to grow stronger, he believed that one day he would be able to pull his roots out and walk.

With grand ambitions, Noah Ji turned his attention to his Qi and Blood and Spiritual Power.

These reserves were accumulated from the sacrifices of the Chen Clan, kept for deductions or ergencies.

After more than a month of sacrifices, the Qi and Blood and Spiritual Power were substantial. Even for a normal deduction, he could perform it four tis.

But the deduction points were still in single digits.

Without enough deduction points, Noah Ji couldn’t perform new deductions or multiple deductions.

Deduction points were earned when clan mbers broke through their realms.

But breaking through realms wasn’t as easy as eating or drinking. In the Body Tempering Realm, several clan mbers had made progress in a month, but in the Blood Condensation Realm, each minor breakthrough could take years.

Deduction points had beco the most critical bottleneck for Noah Ji’s deductions.

For now, Noah Ji had no better solution and could only leave it to ti.

Looking at the deduction button, Noah Ji hesitated. Should he save up or perform a deduction now?

Reflecting on his past deductions, Noah Ji shook his head.

Deducing without any abilities carried too much risk, and he didn’t have enough multiple deductions to compare and find the best option.

Once he had more deductions, he would know which type suited him best.

Patience was key, and Noah Ji decided to wait a bit longer.

The clan was developing steadily, and his vitality was abundant; he could afford to wait.

An hour later, Noah Ji checked his status panel again.

His vitality had increased from 100.4 to 100.9.

The growth rate was faster than before but not the threefold increase he had hoped for.

As his leaves increased, he could absorb more moonlight, but the rate of absorption would decrease over ti.

Although it didn’t et his expectations, he could still absorb three points of vitality each night at this rate.

The improvent was decent.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know how much vitality was needed for his trunk and branches to grow again.

If he had known that one hundred points of vitality would produce a new cluster of leaves, he wouldn’t have held back his Qi and Blood.

The next critical point was still unknown, so he could only grow quietly and wait for changes in his trunk and branches.

Before reaching the next critical point, Noah Ji planned to conduct an experint.

…

Ti flew by, and a month had passed.

A chill had settled over Disordered Burial Mountain.

In the Chen Clan, many clan mbers had donned thicker clothing made from the hides of fierce beasts.

These hides not only provided warmth but also offered so protection.

However, now they were made into clothing for the clan, with many warriors wearing hides from Blood Condensation Realm beasts.

This sight pained Benjamin Chen, as these hides could have fetched a good price in the past, but now they were stuck in this remote location.

Despite the drawbacks, the clan’s current location was too isolated to sell the hides.

So Benjamin Chen didn’t say much, only instructing them to collect unique items from the beasts.

In the Ancestral Hall, Ethan Chen finished his usual worship of the Sacred Tree before leaving.

Two days ago, he had recalled the clan’s hunting teams.

There were two reasons for this.

First, the cold weather made the beasts in the mountains more aggressive as they stored food, becoming more dangerous.

Second, the hunting teams had ventured too deep, risking more than they could gain.

Many clan mbers had been injured during the hunts, but with the Sacred Tree’s protection, it wasn’t a major issue.

So clan mbers, having witnessed the Sacred Tree’s miraculous powers, beca overly brave, taking unnecessary risks.

Most injuries ca from such recklessness.

Upon learning this, Ethan Chen was furious and issued a decree: any further injuries from such behavior would result in severe punishnt and loss of the right to worship the Sacred Tree.

As the Clan Chief, he knew that the Sacred Tree’s powers weren’t limitless and couldn’t be squandered.

After the decree, the clan mbers beca more cautious.

As Ethan Chen left the Ancestral Hall to inspect the warriors’ training, a figure hurried towards him.

“Clan Chief, Elder Mason has sent word for you to co imdiately.”

“Understood.”

Ethan Chen’s expression remained calm, but his heart was startled.

Mason Chen was in charge of the Blood Rice and had been staying there, rarely returning to the clan.

The ssage indicated a change in the Blood Rice, and Ethan needed to check it imdiately.

With winter approaching, if the Blood Rice wasn’t harvested before the heavy snow, it would be lost.

Winter could last two to three months.

The current reserves of beast at wouldn’t be enough for the warriors to temper their bodies for that long. This harvest of Blood Rice was crucial.

Ethan Chen took two clan mbers and hurriedly set off.
