123: Chapter 104: Unexpected Harvest 123: Chapter 104: Unexpected Harvest Under the warm hospitality of Hong Yan, Jiang Xuan ate so food and was then taken to tour the Rock Sheep Tribe.
By this ti, it was nearly evening, the sun sinking gradually, enveloping the entire Rock Sheep Tribe in a faint red glow.
“Leader Xuan, when we were at the foot of the mountain earlier, you ntioned that your Vine Tribe wanted to trade with other tribes?” Hong Yan inquired.
“That’s right, we do want to trade so things with other tribes.”
“Leader Xuan, our Rock Sheep Tribe is also interested in trading!”
Hong Yan’s face lit up with joy as he asked, “May I know what goods your Vine Tribe has to offer?”
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, “High-quality beast bones, beast teeth, and beast hides; do you need any of those?”
“Anything else?” Hong Yan was evidently uninterested in items like beast bones and teeth.
“Yes, have you ever heard of the Divine Mushroom?
It’s specifically for the Witches.”
“Divine Mushroom?
The Divine Mushroom of the Mountain Turtle Tribe?” Hong Yan’s expression turned a bit excited, clearly showing he was familiar with the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
“That’s right, it’s the Divine Mushroom from the Mountain Turtle Tribe.” Jiang Xuan affird.
“Let’s go, Leader Xuan, I’ll take you to et our tribe’s Witch.” Hong Yan eagerly led Jiang Xuan towards the highest dwelling in the tribe.
Jiang Xuan also wanted to et the spiritual leader of the Rock Sheep Tribe, so he followed him forward.
Soon, they arrived at the highest point of the Rock Sheep Tribe’s residential area, where the Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe lived.
Jiang Xuan discovered that the Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe actually lived in a kiln cave.
Outside the kiln cave stood several totem poles, painted with a large number of Rock Sheep Tribe totem patterns, which looked sowhat dated.
Outside the kiln cave, two Warriors stood guard, and upon seeing Jiang Xuan, they watched him vigilantly for a while.
However, since Jiang Xuan was brought by Hong Yan, they didn’t say much.
Hong Yan said, “Leader Xuan, please wait here, I’ll go inside and explain the situation to the Witch.”
“Okay.” Jiang Xuan nodded.
Hong Yan entered the kiln cave and quietly explained the situation to the Witch inside, and after a while, he returned to the entrance.
“Leader Xuan, the Witch has agreed to et you, please co in.”
With Hong Yan’s guidance, Jiang Xuan walked into the kiln cave.
This was a large kiln cave, almost entirely carved out manually.
The cave walls had so polished stones, painted with a large number of primitive murals.
Jiang Xuan glanced roughly, finding that most of the murals were related to rituals and hunting, and so drawings were so abstract that Jiang Xuan couldn’t discern their specific anings.
Inside the kiln cave were so rough instrunts, including stone tools, bone tools, and several old pottery items.
Besides, there were many Rock Sheep skulls with horns, placed everywhere, giving a sowhat eerie feeling.
In the center of the kiln cave was a fire pit, and the Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe sat there.
He was a strange-looking old man, wearing a piece of beast hide clothing made from Rock Sheep skin, with two Rock Sheep horns on his head, and a goatee, looking quite comical.
Hong Yan respectfully said, “Witch, the leader of the Vine Tribe has been brought.”
The Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe nodded, glanced at Jiang Xuan, and like others, marveled at Jiang Xuan’s youth.
Subsequently, the Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe got straight to the point.
“I heard that the Vine Tribe has the Divine Mushroom?”
“That’s right, we indeed have one Divine Mushroom.” In fact, the Vine Tribe had three Divine Mushrooms, but Jiang Xuan didn’t reveal all the details.
The Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe’s eyes lit up, and he said, “What do you want to trade for this Divine Mushroom?”
Jiang Xuan replied, “That depends on what your Rock Sheep Tribe has.”
The Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe pondered for a mont.
With winter approaching, food certainly couldn’t be traded away, as the Rock Sheep Tribe didn’t have enough for themselves.
Items like beast hides and bones were sothing the Vine Tribe probably didn’t lack either.
Finally, the Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe brought out a wooden jar and placed it in front of Jiang Xuan, saying, “Leader Xuan, how about this item?”
Jiang Xuan picked up the jar, discovering it contained a white solid, and curiously asked, “What is this?”
The Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe said, “This is Insect Wax, and among the surrounding tribes, only our Rock Sheep Tribe has it.”
“It can be used to make Witch dicine for healing or for lighting purposes; it is a very good thing.”
“Leader Xuan, take a look.”
The Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe took out another stone jar, also containing Insect Wax, but with a thin tree bark rope in the middle, burned black at the exposed part.
The Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe took a small piece of wood from the fire pit, then leaned towards the stone jar and ignited the tree bark rope.
Soon, a fla ignited, and the fire was very stable and continued to burn.
At the sa ti, Jiang Xuan noticed that the Insect Wax burned without much smoke, and emitted a light fragrance, invigorating and refreshing, very pleasant.
Alongside, Hong Yan proudly said, “Leader Xuan, just this small jar of Insect Wax can burn continuously for several days.”
Jiang Xuan was astonished because, to him, this item looked like a large primitive candle!
The Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe then took out a Stone Knife and spoke to Hong Yan, “Cut your arm slightly.”
Hong Yan took the Stone Knife and indeed cut a wound on his arm without changing his expression, and blood imdiately oozed out.
The Witch of the Rock Sheep Tribe scraped so powder from a solid chunk of Insect Wax with the knife and sprinkled it directly onto the wound Hong Yan had just made.
