When he arrived at the place, quite a few of the Tree of Life branches planted in the ground had already withered, devoid of even a trace of vitality. Yet some still radiated vibrant life, growing roots that burrowed into the soil, while their leaves were even greener than before.
Zhao Fu counted them. Around seventy branches had died, while roughly thirty had survived. That was already quite good—thirty Trees of Life were worth three million gold coins.
Moreover, these were merely trimmed branches. Given the lushness of that original Tree of Life, trimming one hundred branches every month would not be a problem at all. Great Qin would be able to cultivate large numbers of Divine Tree Warriors; that was no longer an issue.
However, these surviving Tree of Life branches still needed time to grow. They had to at least become large trees before meeting the requirements for use. Now that Great Qin had Life Spring Water, it could also hasten the growth of these saplings.
Zhao Fu was fairly satisfied with the results here. Next, he planned to head to the outside world once again. His main task was to purchase a large quantity of rune stones. He needed not only white rune stones, but even more high-grade rune stones.
The seven hundred thousand white rune stones he had purchased now, added to the one hundred thousand he had bought previously in the Land of Inheritance, only amounted to eight hundred thousand. Yet Great Qin already had 1.8 million soldiers, and that number was still continuously growing, so rune stones were in short supply.
Furthermore, Zhao Fu wanted to forge rune armor. With powerful offense paired with formidable defense, Great Qin's combat strength could be raised severalfold. Thus, rune stones were still relatively scarce.
Then there were
