Ji Nuan looked back and saw that many Orcs had gathered at the entrance of the tent without her realizing. Chief Shi Jie, Chief Bear, Uncle Ge Xing, and ng Tai were all among them.
Ji Nuan smiled and said, "The powder I’m referencing doesn’t belong to . It is a gift from Lord Beast God to us, and belongs to the Orc Lord, so I can’t use it as a trade item."
All Orcs showed disappointnt on their faces. Without the powder as Shaman Ji Nuan said, even if they ate roasted at and drank boiled water, it wouldn’t make a difference. As long as they drank beast blood, they would still get the parasite disease again.
Ge Xing looked at Ji Nuan confusedly, not understanding why she was unwilling to trade this powder for salt with these tribes.
Ji Nuan smiled and said, "This powder is a rather common substance that grows on trees. In the past, we called it the Fruit of Divine Punishnt. Have any of you heard of it before?"
"Fruit of Divine Punishnt!!!"
"My goodness, it’s the Fruit of Divine Punishnt?"
"That’s the fruit of disaster!"
Upon hearing the na ’Fruit of Divine Punishnt’, all of the Orcs began to buzz with chatter.
Only ng Tai stood there in confusion, wondering what the Fruit of Divine Punishnt was. Was it tasty?
Chief Shi Jie’s face twitched as he turned to Ji Nuan, "Shaman, this Fruit of Divine Punishnt... it’s seen as a fruit of disaster!"
Chief Bear nodded in agreent with a cautious expression.
Ji Nuan however, laughed, "This is not so fruit of disaster; you just didn’t know its proper use. Since the last winter, we haven’t eaten raw at or drank fresh blood, yet the Orcs of our Watson Tribe remain strong and vigorous."
Having said that, she turned to the Orcs around her, "We now call this fruit ’Salt’. The male and female Orcs of our Watson Tribe have already gotten used to using ’Salt’ as food."
Ji Nuan smiled and continued, "Whether to accept it or not, it’s your choice and I won’t interfere. If any of your tribe mbers get the parasite disease in the future, they can still co to our tribe and exchange for the dicinal powder."
After saying this, she turned around to look at the tribal mber preparing the dicine, "After you have prepared the dicine, go back and help the females see if the soup is ready."
The Orc nodded.
Ji Nuan turned to the few group leaders and old shamans, "I’ll go back first then. The dicine on his body will last until this ti tomorrow. I’ll co again to dress his wound."
The old shaman nodded, "Alright."
Ji Nuan turned to Ge Xing who was hesitating to say sothing, "Uncle Chief, if there’s nothing else, we should go back."
Ge Xing nodded, "Let’s go, let’s go."
Ji Nuan and Ge Xing made their way back, followed by a tall and robust Orc.
Once back inside the tent, Ge Xing looked over at the seemingly relaxed ng Tai, "ng Tai, do you need sothing?"
ng Tai nodded, "I’d like to ask about the Fruit of Divine Punishnt that the Shaman ntioned earlier."
Ge Xing stood up, fetched a small porcelain jar from a basket at the side, scooped out so Salt with a wooden spoon onto a large leaf and handed it to ng Tai, "This is the powder extracted from the Fruit of Divine Punishnt. Give it a try, only a small bit is needed."
ng Tai looked at the white powder on the leaf and finally pinched a bit and put it in his mouth. His face crumpled up imdiately, "The taste..." It was rather indescribable. It was even a bit bitter.
