Chapter 34: Golden Psychic Bath

[Your descendants offer you a Tribute Offering—]

[50 Beast Blood Fruits!]

[Top-grade psychic equipment, the Breath Sword!]

[A set of Black Iron Beast Blood Armor...]

Ethan looked at the various Tribute Offerings on the game's altar. Although he had communicated earlier that he only wanted the Beast Blood Fruits, it seemed the Blackwood descendants really thought these items were being sent to the underworld, sending over their most precious treasures all at once.

[You choose to take out the Tribute Offering—Beast Blood Fruits.]

After checking everything, Ethan only took out the Beast Blood Fruits.

"The new Beast Blood Fruit tree has grown, and it looks like we can harvest again in the next ten years."

Ethan calculated the harvest; he left half of these Beast Blood Fruits for Blackwood and took half for himself, knowing that the growth of the Blackwood descendants was essential. Only if they were strong enough would he benefit more in the future!

"Harvest every ten years, I can harvest twice a day, next time 100 pieces each, 30,000, I can get 30,000 Energy Stones a day!"

Even Ethan drooled over this calculation.

You know, even as a member of Blackwood, he only gets 300 Energy Stones a month for pocket money!

Isn't this a direct flight to wealth?

While excited, Ethan still kept his cool, even planning what to do in the future.

Then his gaze returned to the game.

[For this grand ceremony, do you want to use the 'Forebearer's Divine Gift'?]

He rubbed the space ring in his hand.

He had already prepared the Divine Gift for this occasion!

Given the current situation in Blackwood, they had already formed their own forces and were self-sufficient, protected by the Purple Thunder Solar Python and the War AI Bionic Robot, seeming very powerful, but it was not enough!

If the four major families of Forest Town invaded Blackwood, Ethan could at most use his skills to deal with one enemy.

With a thought,

An ancient book covered in dust appeared in his hand.

[Detecting your Divine Gift—]

[Forebearer's Psychic Formation Map!]

[Delivering Divine Gift!]

"Forebearer Divine Gift has arrived!"

"Every grand ceremony the Forebearer sends us great stuff, but we descendants can only send some useless things, this... how can we be at peace with this."

"Thanks to the Forebearer Divine Gift!"

The family was moved to tears.

[Your descendants feel valued.]

[Received Spiritual Tribute +300!]

"Quick, let's see what the Forebearer has sent."

Nathan quickly instructed Lucas to fetch it.

Lucas was spellbound the moment he opened the ancient book next to the altar's bronze furnace.

"Forebearer's Psychic Formation Map!"

...

Forebearer's Psychic Formation Map!

Watching the descendants' joyful expressions when they received the book, Ethan was not surprised.

This formation map, a relic from a thousand years ago when psychic abilities resurged in the real world, has enabled Blackwood to develop and grow over the millennium, becoming one of the leading forces in the federation!

As for how this thing came about?

Ethan had only heard about it.

It is said that when psychic abilities resurged a thousand years ago, Blackwood's Forebearer seemed to have an overnight enlightenment, gaining a wealth of powerful knowledge and leading the entire Blackwood clan to grow from the very beginning.

This Forebearer's Psychic Formation Map, based on the Forebearer's cards, can gather the power of all members loyal to Blackwood and protect a piece of land.

Because of this formation map, Blackwood has turned danger into safety time and again.

This formation map is only available to the most core direct descendants and is a closely guarded secret of Blackwood.

But now...

"Damn it, Mark took everyone and ran off, leaving just me. Do I still care about the Forebearer?"

Ethan complained, obviously still resentful about being abandoned by all of Blackwood.

He began to focus on the game.

Time was maxed out again, Ethan waited for Blackwood to figure out how to use the "Forebearer's Psychic Formation Map" while also waiting for the trade between Blackwood and the Martinez family.

Actually, what Olivia said before was quite right.

Blackwood had encountered a development bottleneck because they feared the unknown demon king of the Silver Iron Woods, preventing them from developing it, and the direction towards Forest Town was already blocked by the Heath and Gonzalez families.

It's not just about not being able to get more resources.

But...

Ethan also had a small goal, to dominate the entire Forest Town and become the landlord directly!

The game world's time also reached the freezing point, a year of severe drought in winter with no snow, only cold wind and dryness.

The Martinez family had already been sent back to Forest Town and returned to Gratitude Village within a few days.

And they brought a lot of resources!

This time the Martinez family was still led by Jerry, who was trading with Lucas and Olivia, also because Lucas had saved Jerry last time, the Martinez family had enough trust in Blackwood, they even brought resources directly.

[Your family is trading with the Martinez family.]

[Acquired a large amount of 'Jinling Grass']

[Acquired a large amount of 'Black Glint Essence Stone']

[Acquired...]

Seeing these traded items, Ethan was overjoyed.

Time flies in the game world, and for the Blackwoods, having the power to protect and develop their family has become crucial over the past thirty years. As the family grew, the importance of resources also increased!

Amelia's progress in potion-making had hit a snag. She could only cultivate four types of herbs from the Silver Iron Forest, and from the "Herbal Compendium," only four potions could be made.

These included a clotting powder for external injuries, a body-strengthening powder for those under level five Iron Will Psychic, a seven-flavor soup to speed up the acquisition of psychic abilities, and a lethal potion that worked on contact with blood.

The foreign psychic medicines seemed very valuable now.

If they could get the "Golden Spirit Grass" from the Martinez family, combined with some of Blackwood's psychic medicines, Amelia could even concoct a "Golden Psychic Bath" that could boost a Psychic's constitution by 1-8 points—a potent potion easily made from the "Herbal Compendium."

The Martinez family also owned two ore fields.
