Chapter 358

''Mistress, we have failed you.''

Inside the hall, Olivia's eyes burned looking at the duo.

''You killed the Peach Tree?''

This was a tree that cost her half a million luck! And it was killed by these fools.

However her eyes flashed. Although she was naive, she wasn't foolish. The Peach tree has incredible vitality for a rare plant. It shouldn't have died in one night.

Olivia glanced at a housekeeper in the entrance. Who bowed and went out to find out the inner workings of this dead peach tree.

Luckily the Brothers had planned beforehand. And not even half an hour later the Housekeeper returned.

Olivia nodded slightly and sighed.

''You have been spared the death penalty. However you will have to spend the next one hundred years in solitary confinement.''

Olivia was still stern after all. The Nun Brothers heard this and felt faint. One hundred years is by no means a small amount for them.

''Listen to the Mistress''

But what else could they do? Helplessly they could only abide by Olivia's command.

At least they kept their lives.

Meanwhile Samuel stared at the bag of seeds and the tree in front of him and smiled happily.

''Excellent work. It seems like the plan can be put into action a bit sooner.''

Samuel tapped the chair.

The bag of seeds allows him to grow rare Blood Lotus flowers. These are definitely one of the more useful herbs, because they have two uses!

When eaten directly they allow the eater to massively purify their bloodline. It merges any similar bloodlines and can increase the density of the stronger bloodlines.

However they can also be put into Spiritual Pills with the combination of a few other herbs. The Blood Dan produced actually helps people awaken rare bloodlines that they might have.

Unfortunately it takes a minimum of a Rank 4 Alchemist to actually have a chance at successfully producing it.

But the first effect is more than enough for Samuel right now. Especially in combination with the Nourishment booster he received a while ago.

[Nourishment Booster: Under the influence of your bloodline develops rapidly. Any Herbs and medicines that improve bloodlines will have a 20% increased effect. Chance for a mutation with the new generations Bloodline.]

Samuel quickly ordered them to be planted. The growth cycle is relatively high unfortunately, but within the next decade at least a hundred herbs should be grown!

At the same time, the Twin Peach tree is extremely useful. Within Samuels Harem there are distinctions between the talents of his concubines.

For example the Heroines Abigail and the Mermaid Queen Aurora. Not to mention Annie with her Cauldron Constitution.

The Children born from the Heroines tend to have better talents than those born from the random woman that Samuel picks up from all over.

The only reason he needs the multitudes of women is to make up the numbers to increase the pregnancy rate. Of course if Possible Samuel would love to have thousands of Heroines available but how is that possible?

But despite this, if the Twin Peaches can be used on the Heroines when they are pregnant it would be an incredible advantage.

After organising the plantation of the herbs, Samuel called up his System Task.

[Task: Improve the Lanford Family Farming Situation

Medium Spiritual Farms: 1/10

Small Spiritual Farms: 2,445/5,000

Rare Herbs:5/10

Reward: 100x Honest Farmer Physiques, Family Farm World.]

''Not bad.''

Samuel nodded slightly. He was making progress.

''Family Head we have caught Lhinx back.''

Just as he was checking out his System Status, EG1's voice came from the entrance to the Throne Room.

Samuels eyes turned calmly and saw a dishevelled figure carried between EG1's and EG2's arms.

However Samuel didn't show much excitement.

''Why did it take you so long?''

Samuel spoke coldy.

''You were given an order. How can it take you almost two years to catch someone a large realm weaker than you.''

EG1 saw his master's coldness and bowed quickly.

''I'm sorry Family Head, this woman's techniques are very strange. We underestimated the extent of her Physique. She was able to use the aura of nature to cover up her presence.''

''After she hid in the forest we were unable to find her. But Family head we did catch another one hundred members of the Minx Family including one Low Rank 3 Elder.''

EG2 also trembled with fear and quickly reported their good deeds. In fact they are guilty in this case.

They didn't research Lhinx's Physique well enough resulting in them taking over a year to complete a relatively simple task!

''Fifty contribution points deducted from each of you.''

Samuel looked calm and spoke naturally.

As for the Contribution points he talked about, it was the new system Samuel implemented in each of his Subsidiary Families and his own Family.

Contribution points can be earned by anyone and can be exchanged for anything in the family. Each one is the equivalent of one thousand Spiritual Crystals, however some things that can't be bought can be exchanged.

Anything from Rare Physiques to Herbs and Dogs of War Summons all of them can be bought for Contribution Points.

Of course they naturally aren't easy to earn. Even EG1 and EG2 only receive 5 points for completing the mission of capturing Lhinx.

''Thank you Family Head.''

Fortunately for EG1 and EG2, this isn't too much of an issue. Their purpose is to protect Samuel, they can't have children nor do they make friends.

The only thing they use Contribution Points for is hiring a few subordinates. Other than that it is rarely used.

''Bring her here.''

Samuel glanced lightly at the girl.
