Chapter 103 The Deal (Please Subscribe)

In just one day, Zhen Yuanzi traveled from the southern edge of the prehistoric world to the central region.

From afar, one can see a long mountain range at the foot of which numerous large and small witch tribes are bustling with activity, their houses standing in rows, exuding a strong sense of wildness.

In the center, a huge tribe sits by the river, where shamans can be seen fishing and fetching water from time to time. In the distance, groups of three or five shamans return from hunting, carrying huge prey on their shoulders.

Some shamans even roasted food around campfires on the ground, which looked extremely prosperous.

Instead of concealing himself, Zhen Yuanzi, dressed in a blue Taoist robe with a Wan Jie sword hanging at his waist, strode directly into the tribe.

His attire attracted the attention of many members of the shaman clan, and soon a high shaman stepped forward to inquire about it.

"It's Zhen Yuanzi, the Immortal!" Upon seeing that the visitor was Zhen Yuanzi, Xing Tian's face lit up with surprise. He strode over and said, "Xing Tian greets the Immortal!"

"Greetings, Great Shaman Xingtian!" Zhen Yuanzi nodded with a smile and asked Xingtian, "I wonder if Ancestral Shaman Houtu is in the tribe?"

"Your arrival is perfectly timed. My ancestral witch has just returned from the Ancestral Witch Hall not long ago." Xing Tian pointed to a large hall not far ahead and said to Zhen Yuanzi, "That hall is where my ancestral witch resides."

As he spoke, Xing Tian led Zhen Yuanzi to the entrance of the main hall, announcing, "Your Majesty, the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi has arrived!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Houtu, dressed in a long yellow palace gown, stepped forward and bowed to Zhenyuanzi with a smile, saying, "Houtu greets the True Man, please come inside!"

"Please, Ancestral Shaman!" Zhen Yuanzi said, bowing slightly in return.

After exchanging pleasantries with Houtu, Zhen Yuanzi followed her into the main hall.

Despite its imposing size, the interior of this grand hall is simple and unadorned, with only stone tables and benches, far from luxurious.

"My humble abode is simple and unassuming; it is truly an insult to the venerable one." Houtu pointed to the stone table and benches, inviting Zhen Yuanzi to sit down.

"What are you saying, Ancestral Witch? It is I who have been presumptuous to come. How could I be so disrespectful!" Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand and sat down on the stone bench.

Seeing this, Houtu smiled slightly, pointed to the spiritual fruits on the stone table, and invited Zhen Yuanzi, "These fruits were cultivated and improved by Brother Jumang, and they have a unique flavor. Why don't you try them, True Person, and compare them with your ginseng fruit!"

"Ancestral Witch Jumang!" Zhen Yuanzi's eyes lit up as he recalled that the small branch of ginseng fruit tree he had given to Houtu was the one that Ancestral Witch Jumang had nurtured.

Could it be that the spiritual fruit before us was cultivated and improved from this branch?

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi reached out and picked up a spiritual fruit that resembled neither a fruit nor an apricot, put it in his mouth, and took a gentle bite. He felt a sweet and refreshing fragrance fill his mouth, which instantly transformed into rich spiritual energy, which he swallowed and flowed into his abdomen.

Then, it spreads from the abdomen into the whole body, and finally bursts out through the pores, as if a fresh fragrance of herbs and trees is emanating from the body.

"What a wonderful spiritual fruit!" Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but exclaim in praise, "As expected of the Ancestral Witch Jumang, the Ancestral Witch of the Eastern Wood, you have managed to cultivate and improve such a spiritual fruit from just a branch of the Ginseng Fruit Tree. This truly amazes me!"

Although this spiritual fruit was cultivated and improved from the branches of the ginseng fruit tree, its appearance is not similar to the ginseng fruit at all. Yet it has extraordinary mysteries and can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the body.

This demonstrates just how extraordinary Jumang's mastery of the innate wood element principles was.

"Ancestral Witch, don't forget to give me a few to take back with me," Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile.

The two enjoyed the spiritual fruit while chatting and laughing, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

During this time, Zhen Yuanzi and Houtu also discussed the method of proving the Dao through force, as well as the differences between the Chaos Imperishable Body and the True Body of the Ancestral Witch.

However, Zhen Yuanzi's visit to the Houtu tribe was not merely a guest visit, but also a discussion with Houtu about the method of proving the Dao through force.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly asked the great shaman Xing Tian, ​​"How many people does the great shaman Xing Tian's tribe have?"

"Why does the Master ask about this?" Xing Tian asked, somewhat puzzled. "Our Xing Tian tribe is the largest tribe under the Ancestral Witch tribe, with at least hundreds of thousands of people. We can gather an army of tens of thousands. Except for the elderly and children, everyone can go out hunting and fishing."

"In addition, there are some tribes formed by shamans around the Xingtian tribe, with some having tens of thousands of members and others having only a few thousand."

"I have another question for the Great Shaman," Zhen Yuanzi said, ignoring the puzzled looks from Xing Tian and Hou Tu. "With so many people in your tribe, how does the Great Shaman Xing Tian manage to feed them?"

The Xingtian tribe alone has hundreds of thousands of members, not counting the numerous tribes of large and small witches in the surrounding area.

If all of them are added together, the scale would be at least over a million.

This is no small number; feeding so many people is no easy task.

Although the Wu tribe has cultivated to a certain level and can consume the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for sustenance, they cannot satisfy their hunger with food.

However, the amount of food needed is still not small.

Most importantly, there is no farming or land reclamation on this desolate land.

Hearing Zhen Yuanzi's question, Xing Tian burst into laughter and said, "Master, there are countless wild beasts in the mountains and rivers, and plenty of fish and shrimp in the rivers. The problem of food is not difficult to solve."

However, Houtu's expression darkened slightly. Over the course of hundreds of millions of years, countless creatures had become food for the Wu tribe, including some that had developed intelligence.

This is also the biggest conflict between the Lich and Demon races.

When the Wu Clan was first born, there was no Demon Clan in the primordial world; there were only the myriad races of the primordial world.

However, as the witch clan continued to expand, they hunted all kinds of living creatures and wild beasts.

This instilled fear in all living beings, including birds and beasts, who dreaded becoming food for the Wu tribe one day. As a result, they sought refuge under the protection of five great supernatural beings: Di Jun, Tai Yi, Nuwa, Fuxi, and Kunpeng, in order to fight against the Wu tribe.

Over time.

These creatures began to identify themselves as demons.

It can be said that without the expansion of the Wu tribe and their hunting activities, the demon race might not have been born in the primordial world.

What Houtu found particularly frustrating was that if the Wu tribe did not hunt, they would be unable to support their people.

In contrast, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, far away in the Qingqiu Mountains, is far superior, as they can solve their food problem simply by planting fruit trees.

"To be honest, my Wu tribe is aware of the harm caused by excessive hunting," Houtu sighed and said, "but without excessive hunting, we cannot feed our people."

Despite the powerful physical strength of the ancestral witches and the formidable fighting prowess of the great witches, they are still unable to conjure food.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Instead of hunting wild animals, why don't the Wu tribe cultivate the land and grow crops?" Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile to Houtu and Xingtian.

Clear land for farming!

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Xing Tian looked puzzled and asked, "What is this 'cultivation' and farming that you speak of, Master? I've never heard of it before."

"Please enlighten me, Master!" Houtu also looked puzzled, not knowing what cultivating and farming meant.

"Years ago, when I traveled to the primordial wilderness, I obtained a plant called millet. Its grains are edible, and they mature in just a few months," Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile. "After the spring thunder, you can plant it in the ground, and it will grow in just a few months. One seed can yield hundreds of grains. By planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, you can have a continuous supply of food."

"As long as a large amount of land is cultivated, the shaman tribe can harvest enough food for a year."

"In this way, there will be no need to hunt large numbers of wild animals, and the witch tribe can solve the food problem."

Although Zhen Yuanzi had never cultivated millet, he knew that humans used to eat millet and other grains.

That's why some millet was transplanted to Longevity Mountain, originally intended for the future human race.

This is the perfect time to make a deal with the Wu tribe.

Houtu and Xingtian were increasingly shocked as they listened. If it was really as Zhen Yuanzi said, that planting one grain of millet in spring and harvesting in autumn would yield hundreds of grains in autumn, which could completely solve the food problem of the Wu tribe.

It can even enhance the strength of the witch clan, so they no longer have to worry about food.

If this were to develop over hundreds of millions of years, how prosperous would the Wu tribe be!

"Please, sir, tell me where I can find this item!"

"Our Wu clan will certainly repay you handsomely!" Houtu Teng stood up abruptly and bowed deeply to Zhen Yuanzi.

"Please tell me, Master!" Xing Tian also bowed deeply to Zhen Yuanzi.

"There's no need for such formality, Ancestral Witch." Zhen Yuanzi quickly stood up and stepped aside, refusing to accept Houtu's grand gesture, saying, "This humble Taoist has come here precisely to make a deal with the Ancestral Witch!"

"What does the True One wish to trade?" Houtu hurriedly asked, "Although my Wu Clan is not particularly wealthy, we do possess some innate treasures!"

The Wu tribe was one of the overlords of the primordial world. Over hundreds of millions of years, they collected some innate objects, some of which were brought back by the ancestral witches and great witches, and others were collected by various tribes. The variety was quite extensive.

"This humble Taoist desires a drop of Ancestral Witch's essence blood and the essence of the Five Elements." Zhen Yuanzi's plan was very simple: to use the Ancestral Witch's essence blood to repair the damage caused by the innate Five Elements Great Dao Laws, and even to enhance the power of the Chaos Undying Body.

It should be known that the Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan was formed from the essence and blood of the Great God Pangu. The essence and blood of the Ancestral Witch contains the bloodline of the Great God Pangu, which is of great benefit to Zhen Yuanzi's Chaos Undying Body.

As for the essence of the five elements innately!

It would be best if it were available, but it wouldn't matter if it weren't.

Upon hearing the name of the Ancestral Witch's essence blood, Houtu frowned and asked, "True Man, why do you need the Ancestral Witch's essence blood?"

The essence and blood of the Ancestral Witches are of paramount importance to them.

Even losing a single drop of essence blood would cause considerable damage to Houtu.

"This humble Taoist intends to enhance the power of the Chaos Undying Body with the essence and blood of the Ancestral Witches." Zhen Yuanzi did not intend to hide anything, and besides, with Hou Tu's knowledge, it would be easy for her to think of the Chaos Undying Body.
