Chapter 130: Spirit Moon Tree
When he arrived at the place, Ye Chen found that there were five ordinary clansmen gathered, one of whom was the blacksmith Uncle Moyuan .

Seeing Ye Chen, the clansmen split into two sides respectfully .
“Chief . ”
“Chief . ”
“What’s going on?” Ye Chen asked curiously . What did they discover to make them pleasantly surprised?
“Chief, we found these in the forest . There are six!” Ye Moyuan said delightedly and pointed at a section of rotten trees where a few Lingzhi mushrooms were growing . They were ordinary White-Fungi1 . They were considered good physic and an old White-Fungus was generally extremely precious . A ten-year-old White-Fungus could be exchanged for a hundred or two Chi-amassing Pills . However, this White-Fungus was considered young . It had grown for a few months at most .
Ye Chen could not help but laugh . These ordinary White-Fungi were worth so much?
“Chief, don’t underestimate these White-Fungi . These are extremely good medicine . One stalk can be exchanged for one Chi-amassing Pill!” Ye Moyuan chuckled . “It’s a pity they’ve only grown for a few months . They would be much more valuable if they were older . ”
One stalk of White-Fungus for one Chi-amassing Pill . To an ordinary clansman, that was naturally a discovery that would make them extremely excited . However, for Ye Chen, who was used to seeing hundreds or thousands of even tens of thousands of Chi-amassing Pills, these White-Fungi were negligible to him .
Ye Chen chuckled . Seeing Uncle Moyuan and the others so happy, the depressed mood from the past few days had also cleared up . He turned around to leave .

The few clansmen remained around the White-Fungus and discussed excitedly .
“It’s a shame that it’s only a White-Fungus . If it were the better Blood-Fungus, it would be worth a hundred Chi-amassing Pills even if it had only grown for a few months!”
“You greedy little brat . How would it be that easy to find a Blood-Fungus? How many Blood-Fungi do you think our Ye Clan found after living in the Lianyun Mountains for so long?” Ye Moyuan scolded while laughing . “These precious treasures don’t have spores and only grow by collecting World Celestial Chi . Did you think they’re like the grass where you can find all over the ground?”
“Hehe . ” A tall young man with dark skin rubbed his head awkwardly and giggled .
“Let’s look for more here . If you find any more, mark the place . We’ll wait a few more years and collect it when it’s needed by the clan,” Ye Moyuan instructed the clansmen . “This valley is rich in Celestial Chi . There may be even more in the forest . ”
“Yes . ” Everyone excitedly went around looking for more Lingzhi .
Although they found the precious Lingzhi, they had never even thought of taking it for themselves . Instead, they carefully protected and was prepared to hand it over to the clan .
The thought of these honest and selfless clansmen made Ye Chen feel that anything he did for his clan was worth it .
Ye Chen was in a light mood and was about to go forward when he suddenly thought of something . His eyes brightened . The people of this world thought that Lingzhi was a precious treasure that grew by gathering World Celestial Chi . Furthermore, it was in great demand and could be used in alchemy, healing, and so on . That was why even the most ordinary Lingzhi that had only grown a few months could fetch such a high price and the rare Blood-Fungus that was grown for a few months could sell for hundreds of Chi-amassing Pills . However, Ye Chen knew that Lingzhi did not grow solely by relying on World Celestial Chi! World Celestial Chi would only promote the Lingzhi’s growth . The Lingzhi naturally had its way of reproduction!

Looking around the valley, there were towering cliffs but every noon, the sun could still shine in . The valley was rich in Celestial Chi and was pervaded with fog all year-long, so the sunlight was not too strong . In addition to grasslands and lakes, there was a forest that was dozens of acres wide . The air in the forest was humid and suitable for the growth of Lingzhi .
A bold idea came to his mind . Ye Chen immediately asked Uncle Moyuan to call around fifty to sixty strong and young clansmen .
Soon, fifty to sixty young men had gathered at the edge of the forest . They were wondering why Ye Chen had called them together but as long as it was Ye Chen’s command, they would even be willing to die . After all, they owed their lives to the Chief .
“I gathered you here today for a very important reason . It’s related to the revitalization of the clan . Do you have the confidence to do a good job?” Ye Chen looked at the crowd and asked in a clear voice .
Hearing the words about the revitalization of the clan, the clansmen’s eyes lit up .
“Chief, just order us and we’ll do it . Even if you tell us to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, we’ll do it!”
“That’s right, we’ll do anything!” The clansmen looked excited .
Ye Chen laughed and said, “I don’t need you to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flame . The reason I gathered you today is to let you manage this forest well . ”
“Manage this forest?” The group of young men exchanged glances . Were there any treasures in this forest that required them to look after it?
“Uncle Moyuan, I’ll leave them under your care . You must watch this forest well . Besides me, don’t let anyone into the forest . In addition, there are still some tasks for you to do today . ” Ye Chen smiled mysteriously .
They were confused . What was Ye Chen planning by being so secretive? However, since the Chief had given the order, they did not hesitate to carry it out .
Ye Chen looked at the place where the White-Fungus grew . It was on a rotten piece of wood called Red-jacket Elephant Tree .
“Uncle Moyuan, you used to collect Lingzhi in the forest . What kind of wood do the Lingzhi usually grow on?” Ye Chen looked at Ye Moyuan and asked .
“They grow on all sorts of trees, but the ones I’ve seen the most are called Spirit Moon Trees . Almost every kind of Lingzhi can grow on Spirit Moon Trees . ”
“Spirit Moon Trees . Is that kind of tree very rare?”
“They’re not rare . They can be found everywhere . However, it’s much less common to encounter one growing Lingzhi . ” Ye Moyuan chuckled .
“In that case, please accompany me in finding some Spirit Moon Trees, Uncle Moyuan . ”
“Of course . ”
Ye Chen brought Ye Moyuan and the Zephyr White Ape and exited the valley . After about half an hour, he found a forest of Spirit Moon Trees .
“Are you looking for Lingzhi?” Ye Moyuan asked curiously . Was Lingzhi something that could be found that easily?
“No . ” Ye Chen smiled . “You’ll know when the time comes!”
The Zephyr White Ape behind Ye Chen walked a few steps forward and roared angrily . It uprooted an extremely thick Spirit Moon Tree and carried it on its shoulder before walking back . Then, it repeated the process with another Spirit Moon Tree . After uprooting six of them, the Zephyr White Ape carried them and ran back toward the valley .
Ye Moyuan watched until his beard went crooked and his hands trembled . That Zephyr White Ape was simply too strong! However, there was no fear in his eyes but excitement instead . The Zephyr White Ape was now a guardian of the clan!
