Chen Cheng, in the meeting hall.

As soon as Chen Yang returned to the Chen family, someone told him that

Chen Xuan had been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing this, Yang Chen hurried to the meeting hall.

“Great Elder, what happened?” Before they entered the door, Chen Yang’s voice reached the ears of the elders.

“Patriarch, it’s like this. All the land suitable for growing food in Chen City has been destroyed!”Chen Xuan said worriedly.

“Destroyed?” Chen Yang was a little puzzled. How could the land be destroyed? He immediately took a sip of tea and wiped his mouth after quenching his thirst. Then, he asked,”This land can still be destroyed?”

“I can’t explain it for a while. Patriarch, come with me and you’ll know.” Immediately, under Chen Xuan’s lead, the two of them rushed out of the city. On the way, Yang Chen had a question that he hadn’t asked. Taking advantage of the fact that the two of them were alone, Yang Chen asked,””First Elder, do you know if there were any bloodline warriors in the Chen family?”

“No, our family records have been going on for 300 years. The first Meridian Awakening Warrior to appear was our ancestor, let alone a Bloodline Warrior.”Chen Xuan said.

When Chen Yang heard this, he looked a little embarrassed.” Great Elder, my bloodline has been detected. My bloodline aptitude is equivalent to a sixth-grade aptitude.”

“Patriarch, what did you say?” Chen Xuan’s eyes widened.”

Yang Chen nodded.

“What happened?” Chen Xuan was also stunned. Not to mention burying a bloodline martial artist in his ancestral grave, he had never even buried a bloodline martial artist’s servant.

Where did this family head get his bloodline from?

Immediately, Chen Yang told Chen Xuan what had happened in the Prefecture Overseer’s Estate. At the same time, he also told Chen Xuan that he had been accepted as a disciple by the Deshun Commandery Prince.

After hearing Chen Yang’s words, Chen Xuan’s eyes lit up.

With Deshun Commandery Prince as our backer, even if he can’t help us much, he will still make the other factions wary.”

“As for the bloodline, I’m sure it doesn’t come from the Chen family. It should be from the matriarch’s bloodline.”

“According to the family records, my sister-in-law’s family came to Chen City a hundred years ago. As for where it came from, that was not clear.”

“In that case, it is very likely that my mother knows about this bloodline?”Yang Chen asked.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan shook his head.” It’s tough. My sister-in-law’s family is now left with only her alone. Your grandmother passed away five years ago.” “I see.” Yang Chen sighed regretfully and said,””Forget it. It doesn’t matter where this bloodline comes from. As long as it can make the Chen family stronger, that’s fine.”

“Patriarch, you’re right.” Chen Xuan echoed from the side.

After an hour of rushing, the two of them finally arrived at the Chen family’s farm. The branch family member in charge of the farm was sitting in front of the door with a sad face.

Seeing Yang Chen come over, he quickly went forward.” Master, you’re finally here.””

“Alright, don’t worry. I’ll go in and take a look first.”Yang Chen pushed open the door of the farm, and what greeted his eyes was the pitch-black land.

As for the rice on the ground, it had all withered. As for the spiritual rice, it was growing well without any problems.

“What’s going on?” Chen Yang walked to the field and broke off a piece of land. He put it under his nose and smelled it, but there was no smell. Then, he looked at Chen Xuan.

“Patriarch, according to my estimation, our Chen City’s land might have been sucked dry of nutrients. In other words, it sucked dry the nutrients of the rice root.”Chen Xuan said.

“How can you say that he has been sucked dry of nutrients?”Yang Chen asked. “Patriarch, please take a look.” Chen Xuan pointed at the black soil.”

Yang Chen looked at the field again and said,””I didn’t notice anything different.”

“This black soil is naturally no different, but the thing that causes the soil to turn black is very particular.”

Chen Xuan came to Chen Yang’s side and continued,”Patriarch, have you ever heard of the Devil Vine Sunflower Tree?”

“I have some impression of it. Rumor has it that the Devil Vine Sunflower Seeds produced by the people of the country have the effect of strengthening the body and strengthening the eyes.”

“As for Demon General-level Devil Vine Sunflower Seeds, they contain spiritual energy and have a certain effect on opening meridians.”Chen Yang told Chen Xuan everything he knew.

“Patriarch is right. As a tree-type demon beast, the Devil Vine Sunflower Tree has all kinds of wondrous aspects. However, to maintain such a wondrous state, it required a huge amount of nutrients.”

“Ancestor once saw a Devil Vine Sunflower Tree. The place where it grew was completely barren, and the ground was pitch-black.”

“According to the Beast Tamer Sect’s explanation, the Demon General-level Demonic Vine Sunflower Tree can absorb all the nutrients within a hundred meters.”

“This is all because of the help of the spiritual energy. If it can’t absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, I’m afraid that all the nutrients within a five-kilometer radius will be absorbed by it.”

When Chen Xuan said this, he grabbed a handful of black soil.”

Chen Yang heart has laments in the lifetime, black land is fertile synonymous with the United States. However, this place had turned into soil that did not have any nutrients.

However, this was not important. The only thing he had to do now was to deal with this matter. If things didn’t go well, a famine that had never happened before in Da Qian would descend on Chen City.

Then, Chen Yang looked at Chen Xuan.”

“That’s right.” Chen Xuan nodded heavily.

“What about the situation outside?” Chen Yang frowned. If the other cities were not destroyed, then it would not have affected Chen City too much.

“I don’t know the details, but the surrounding cities are basically the same as Chen City. I reckon that this demon wave must have sent out many devil vines and sunflower trees.”

“If things go wrong, the entire Nanyang County will fall into famine.”

“Sigh.” Yang Chen sighed.” It’s not just Nanyang. The demon wave has affected the entire Jiang Prefecture.””

“If they really send out a large number of Devil Vines and Sunflower Trees, the entire Jiang Prefecture will fall into famine.”

“Then what should we do?” Chen Xuan was a little anxious.” We just passed the demon tide and need time to develop.”

“Don’t worry about this matter. The Great Qian royal family will definitely have a strategy to deal with it. Moreover, there was no famine in other states. When the time came, there would definitely be merchants coming to sell grain.”Yang Chen comforted.

However, Yang Chen felt a little uneasy. The merchants were after profits, and when the time came, the price of the grain would be raised to an unknown level.

Moreover, the grain of other states was basically enough to supply their own state. There might not be much grain that could be sent to Jiang State.

After thinking about it, if he wanted a solution, he could only start with the land.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang looked at Chen Xuan.” First Elder, if there are nutrients added from the outside, can this black soil grow food?”

“You mean..A fertilizer?”

Chen Xuan clapped his hands.” I can give it a try. After all, the spiritual rice is still intact. That meant that if there were nutrients, rice might not be unable to grow..”
