Chapter 438 The Strange Totem Effect
"Clan Chief Lai, the Yu family's territory is also vacant. There is also a second-class iron mine in his family's territory. The nobles can send their clansmen to receive the resources here, and they only need to hand over 70%."
Patriarch Lai's expression brightened after hearing this, and he immediately agreed.
Compared with the Yu family's high-quality iron ore, the Yu family's mine is not of such good quality.
However, compared to the less important mine, he valued the Yu family's territory and other resources within the territory more. Although it was not too rare, it was still very good for the family.
It seems that the family's surrender this time is indeed extremely important.
The expressions in the eyes of other family patriarchs also changed when they saw this. They did not expect that the Chen family would be so generous. They gave up all the territory they had conquered before and chose to hand it over to other small families.
If they had known this, the sincerity they showed today would definitely not be like this.
However, although they did not get the resources, the clan leaders of each clan were able to see the courage of the Chen family. If there is another opportunity like this in the future, then do they also have hope?
Many of the clan leaders looked slightly moved, and immediately prepared to return to their clan to discuss carefully how to get closer to the Chen family.
After allocating these two resources, Chen Tianjing spoke again:
"Everyone, since our Chen family has collected 30% of the resources from each clan, we will not choose to take it for nothing. The people of our clan will give you a token of my Chen family in the future. If there are major events related to the safety of the family in your clan, you will also You can use this token to seek help from my Chen family!”
Chen Tianjing's words did not make everyone too happy, because this was not the case of the Chen family. The Zhou family had also promised this when they relied on the Zhou family.
But usually, the family does not have a life or death crisis, so it cannot be used. Even if it does, it depends on the strength of the enemy. If it is another middle-level family, the Chen family will not offend them rashly, and if the Chen family is asked to take action, it is probably Another price, this does not include the 30% of the resources handed over by the family.
Therefore, no one pays much attention to the Chen family's promise, but the family still needs to get hold of the Chen family's tokens. In the future, they can also use the name of the Chen family to intimidate them.
As for how useful it is, it is unknown. After all, the Chen family is not well-known now, and other mid-level families may not buy it.
Chen Tianjing just smiled at the reactions of various tribes and didn't say much.
In fact, it is of course impossible to expect the family to fully help. Chen Tianjing does not mind taking action only if it is within the scope of the family's strength and has little impact on the family.
"Everyone, that's it for today. The resources brought by each clan this time will be received by clan members soon."
As Chen Tianjing left, the clan leaders present no longer stayed for long and immediately prepared to leave the side hall. The Tao clan leader left very quickly. He needed to send his clan members to the iron mines as soon as possible to take over the resources.
"Clan Chief Lai, please move over. The head of my family has something to discuss."
The head of the Lai family, who was about to leave, looked slightly changed, but he still nodded.
Although the other clan leaders on the side were curious, they did not dare to ask.
After a while, the head of the Lai family came to the main hall of the family under the leadership of his clan members.
"I have met Patriarch Chen. I wonder if Patriarch Chen has any other important matters to discuss?"
Lai Peixuan asked with confusion on his face.
Chen Tianjing smiled slightly:
"I asked Patriarch Lai to stay this time just to answer some of my little doubts. I also ask Patriarch Lai not to be rigid."
Lai Peixuan's heart condensed slightly after hearing this, but his expression was still quite natural and he said:
"Even if Patriarch Chen comes to tell me, as long as I know something, I will definitely clear up Patriarch Chen's doubts."
"Okay, then I will speak frankly. I heard that the nobles were quite prosperous in the Tongji League before. I think the nobles have also developed well in the past six months. But why didn't the nobles say anything to my Chen family in the past few days? Take action?"
Chen Tianjing asked with a smile, not hiding his doubts at all.
The actions of the other families present that day were all justified.
Among them, the Yu family has a feud with the family, so they choose a path to go to the dark side.
Other families were exploited by the Yu family and did not want to get involved. They chose to wait and see what happened without helping each other.
Only the Lai family was an absolute supporter of the Yu family. During that period, they were doing well in the Tongji League and even received a lot of benefits. However, at the critical moment, the Lai family did not choose a path to darkness.
Today, he also made the opposite move from most families.
In the wooden box, there were more than ten blood bodhis placed. This object can help Xiantian realm warriors condense their qi and blood, and the effect is extremely good. This is why Chen Tianjing was so happy after seeing it. After all, the family is very lacking in this aspect.
And judging from the wooden box, it was obvious that the Lai family had been prepared in advance rather than changing their minds at the last minute.
But this also made Chen Tianjing even more curious. If the Tao family were not too enthusiastic, the family would definitely choose to hand over the resources of the iron mine to the Lai family instead of the Tao family.
When Lai Peixuan heard Chen Tianjing's inquiry, his expression also changed.
He originally thought that Chen Tianjing would ask about the origin of the Blood Bodhi in the wooden box, or whether there were more Blood Bodhi. After all, the Chen family would definitely covet such resources.
And he had already thought of the answer and was ready to answer truthfully.
But he didn't expect that Chen Tianjing didn't ask about this, and asked another question instead.
Under Chen Tianjing's direct gaze, Lai Peixuan's expression changed slightly.
"If it's inconvenient, Patriarch Lai can choose not to answer."
Chen Tianjing continued, but Lai Peixuan had already said with a wry smile:
"Patriarch Chen has a keen eye. In fact, this matter is related to our clan's totem. Our clan's totem has no other great power, and it cannot improve the strength of our clan members, but it can avoid danger and seek good fortune. This is why our clan can make the right decision at the critical moment. However, the totem can only give a rough guide, and it cannot be accurate to the exact matter. And every time it gives guidance, it will also consume a lot of divine power of our clan's totem."
Chen Tianjing was a little surprised when he heard this, but there are so many spiritual things in the world, and it is not surprising that the power of totem has a different effect.
Judging from the current situation of the Lai family, the power of the totem is indeed somewhat magical, but it has not reached the ultimate effect, otherwise the Lai family would not have no Yuqi realm.
Lai Peixuan, who told the truth, was a little uneasy. The effect of the family totem has been hidden deep in the clan, just not wanting to be discovered by outsiders, otherwise it may fall into crisis. After all, this kind of totem, I think some medium-sized families will also covet its effect.
But today he had no choice. If he didn't tell the story, the Chen family might attack the family tomorrow.
"I see. I am sorry for being so rude."
Chen Tianjing nodded slightly.
As for the Blood Bodhi, Chen Tianjing didn't ask much. With the strength of the Lai family, there probably weren't many such resources, otherwise the Lai family wouldn't have offered this item this time.
It was precisely because there weren't many that the Lai family didn't worry about arousing the covetousness of the family.
