Chapter 489 Zhilong Fruit Tree

As the bottom force on the battlefield, the foundation-building monks took on more risks.

Although Ye Changsheng had done his best to protect them, after five years, the number of foundation-building monks in the Ye family had dropped sharply from more than 700 to more than 500.

Every fallen clan member made Ye Changsheng feel a little sorry, but he knew that this was the price of war and an inevitable sacrifice in the process of the family's growth.

He ordered a lavish burial for every fallen clan member and gave their families generous pensions to comfort their souls in heaven.

The loss of warships was also heartbreaking.

Of the four fourth-grade high-quality warships that the Ye family originally owned, only three are still in service, one of which was completely destroyed in an encounter with a high-level monster.

And of the nineteen third-grade high-quality warships, four were written off.

These warships were built by the Ye family at great expense, and the loss of each one made Ye Changsheng feel painful.

The reason why it is called "completely written off" is that in the case of a tight war, although the alliance's spiritual craftsmen will try their best to repair the damaged warships, frequent battles and material limitations make it impossible for many warships to recover to their best condition even after repairs, and they can only permanently withdraw from the battle sequence and become the dust of history.

Half a year has passed since the last fierce battle. During this period, the task of the Ye family fleet is mainly to encircle and suppress scattered monsters in the newly acquired Monster Forest territory. These monsters have uneven strengths, but they are numerous and cunning.

Ye Changsheng led the fleet, like a hunter, shuttled through the forest, patiently searching for the traces of monsters and clearing them one by one.

The current Ye family station has penetrated into the Monster Forest for a full 400,000 miles, which was unimaginable five years ago.

With the expansion of territory, the Ye family's harvest has become more and more abundant.

In addition to the resources allocated by the alliance, Ye Changsheng also secretly instructed his clansmen to plunder the spiritual gold ore and spiritual medicine in the occupied area.

Of course, those resources that are crucial to the development of the Ye family, as well as those spiritual objects that are too rare and easy to attract attention, were carefully preserved by Ye Changsheng.

The remaining ones were sold in batches by Ye Changsheng to the major chambers of commerce that entered the Monster Forest.

After five years, excluding the maintenance costs of warships, pensions for fallen monks, and salaries of clan members, Ye Changsheng actually accumulated more than 800 million high-quality spiritual stones!

This huge wealth is enough to give the Ye family more choices and confidence in future development.

In Ye Changsheng's heart, what is more important than spiritual stones is world stones.

In the past five years, he took advantage of various opportunities to go deep into some secret realms and dangerous places occupied by monsters, carefully looking for traces of world stones.

Hard work pays off, and he actually found three new world stones.

But the size of these three world stones is not large, and the largest is only the size of a fist.

Despite this, these world stones still have a significant impact on Ye Changsheng's private secret realm.

His divine tree space has been upgraded from the initial third-order middle level to a level close to the third-order late stage. The internal space has also expanded a lot, and the concentration of spiritual energy has become more concentrated, which is of great benefit for cultivating spiritual plants and assisting the tribe members in cultivation.

At this moment, Ye Changsheng is in a deep forest secret realm.

The entrance to this secret realm is extremely hidden. If Ye Changsheng did not have a strange beast such as the spirit-seeking rat, it would probably be difficult to find.

The secret realm is full of spiritual energy, ancient trees are towering, and various exotic flowers and plants are competing for beauty. It is obviously an undeveloped treasure land.

And Ye Changsheng's eyes are on a rare fourth-order spiritual fruit tree growing in this secret realm-the Zhilong fruit tree.

Zhilong fruit, as the name suggests, is a very small fruit that looks like a young dragon.

This spiritual fruit is extremely rare. It is not only delicious, but also contains powerful energy. It can strengthen the physical body of a fourth-order cultivator and consolidate the Dao Court. For a cultivator in the fourth-order Dao Court period, it is an excellent auxiliary spiritual medicine to break through the bottleneck.

In the center of the secret realm, there are seven tall spiritual trees.

These seven Zhilong fruit trees have different shapes, luxuriant branches and leaves, and exude a faint fragrance. Three of the trees are full of red fruits, each of which is only the size of a thumb, crystal clear, like a sleeping dragon, exuding an attractive luster.

Ye Changsheng roughly counted that each of these three fruit trees had 108 Zhilong fruits, adding up to 324!

Ye Changsheng was ecstatic, and he carefully picked each Zhilong fruit and put it into the jade box prepared in advance.

After picking all the Zhilong fruits, Ye Changsheng was not in a hurry to leave.

Such a precious spiritual tree, naturally, cannot be let go.

He used his magical powers to carefully transplant the seven Zhilong fruit trees and the surrounding soil into his own divine tree space.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the divine tree space is far better than that in the outside world. I believe that these Zhilong fruit trees can grow better there.

Afterwards, Ye Changsheng searched the secret realm carefully again, and collected some of the precious spiritual plants and minerals, not letting go of anything valuable.

After confirming that the resources in the secret realm had been plundered, Ye Changsheng came to the central area of ​​the secret realm.

At the bottom of the soil there, there was a rough round stone, which was the world stone of the secret realm.

This world stone was about the size of a bowl, larger than the previous ones. Ye Changsheng took out the world stone without hesitation, feeling the original power contained in it.

After leaving the secret space, Ye Changsheng immediately merged this new world stone into his original larger world stone.

The two world stones slowly merged, emitting dazzling light.

When the light faded, Ye Changsheng was pleasantly surprised to find that the volume of the fused world stone had increased significantly, and the internal space also expanded accordingly, reaching a size of a thousand feet in radius! The concentration of spiritual energy in the sacred tree space also increased to the level of the third stage, which was almost comparable to some small cave paradises.

Feeling the surging spiritual energy in the sacred tree space, Ye Changsheng was filled with joy.

Ye Changsheng happily drove the fourth-level flying boat, turned into a stream of light, and flew towards the temporary station established by the Ye family behind the human-demon battlefield.

The flying boat landed smoothly on the square in the center of the station. Several tribesmen in charge of guarding immediately came up to greet it and saluted respectfully: "Meet the tribe leader."

Ye Changsheng nodded slightly with a smile on his face: "Well, is everything okay?"

"Reporting to the tribe leader, everything is fine."

The leading tribe member replied.

Ye Changsheng was about to say something else when a tribe member in charge of information transmission hurried over, looking a little excited: "Ancestor, someone came from the alliance headquarters and said that the steward Su Fangyuan had something important to discuss. Please go to the alliance headquarters."
