“Do you have seeds?”
“Of course, I knew you would ask this, co with .”
Although he didn’t quite understand the Vine Tribe’s obsession with planting, Wu Yu, driven by the thought of making a profit, would also casually collect so seeds when trading with other tribes.
Wu Yu led Jiang Xuan through the trading area to the warehouse district of the Black Teeth Tribe.
The warehouses of the Black Teeth Tribe were divided into two types: cave warehouses, used for storing materials like stones that were not afraid of moisture.
The other type was wooden houses used for storing materials that needed to be moisture-proof.
The warehouse Wu Yu brought Jiang Xuan to was a wooden house; it was built very solidly, with walls entirely made of large non-decaying logs, and even the ground was covered with suspended flooring.
Although it looked rather rough, it was very practical, sturdy, and durable.
Wu Yu went in front of a relatively small warehouse and said to the warrior guarding it, “Move out the plant seeds we collected.”
“Yes!”
The warrior guarding the warehouse imdiately opened the door, then went inside to find several large beast hide bags stacked in the corner, carrying them all to the door.
Wu Yu opened the big beast hide bags one by one, which contained all kinds of small beast hide bags.
Wu Yu casually picked up a small beast hide bag, opened it, and inside were a dozen or so fist-sized fruits.
“I traded for these from a small remote tribe, called Rabbit Head Fruit. Don’t they look like a rabbit’s head to you?”
Jiang Xuan picked up a fruit and looked at it carefully, discovering that it really did resemble a rabbit’s head, with each fruit having two ear-like protrusions.
Jiang Xuan asked, “Does it grow on a tree or a herbaceous plant?”
“It’s from a herbaceous plant; I hear it can be planted one crop per year.”
“Not bad, a good thing.”
Jiang Xuan was satisfied with this. If it were just a fruit tree, its value wouldn’t be as high because from seed to tree and fruit, it would take at least a few years, and so fruit trees even take decades to over a hundred years to bear fruit.
Herbaceous plants are different; most can be planted and harvested within the sa year, which is very efficient.
After introducing the Rabbit Head Fruit, Wu Yu took out several more bags of seeds, all featuring varieties not found in the Vine Tribe.
For example, seeds for a vegetable half as tall as a person, which, according to Wu Yu’s description, Jiang Xuan believed might be a type of large cabbage.
This made Jiang Xuan very happy because among the current vegetables in the Vine Tribe, there was only a small type of cabbage, small in size, low yield, and not very valuable for planting.
The second thing that interested Jiang Xuan was a plant similar to corn. When Wu Yu took it out, Jiang Xuan’s eyes lit up because it looked just like a large corn cob.
This corn-like grain seed was purple, with each seed being thumb-sized. Wu Yu said this was roasted for eating in the original tribe, and it tasted okay.
“Can I have all these bags of seeds?”
“Of course, as long as you have enough goods to trade for them.”
Wu Yu’s face blossod into a smile because these seeds were all thrown in as a bonus during trades with other tribes.
Even the small beast hide bags that held the seeds were gifted along with the seeds by various tribes.
Apart from the cost of transport and storage, these seeds were practically free.
Of course, Wu Yu wouldn’t tell Jiang Xuan this; instead, he made the process of collecting and trading these seeds sound more difficult, so he could exchange these seeds for more goods.
After all, rchants, primitive or not, are always profit-driven.

“I traded for these from a remote little tribe. They’re called Rabbit Head Fruits. Don’t they look like rabbit heads to you?”
Jiang Xuan picked up one fruit and carefully observed it, finding that it really did resemble a rabbit’s head, with two ear-like protrusions on each fruit.
Jiang Xuan asked, “Do these grow on trees or are they from herbaceous plants?”
“They co from herbaceous plants. I heard they can be planted once every year.”
“Not bad, a good thing indeed.”
Jiang Xuan was quite satisfied with this. If they were just regular fruit, their value wouldn’t be as high, since fruit trees take years to grow from seed to maturity and produce fruit. So fruit trees even take decades or centuries to bear fruit.
Herbaceous plants are different; most can be planted and harvested in the sa year, making them highly efficient.
…
“There’s sothing I need to handle back in the tribe, so I’ll head back first.”
After saying this, Qie Ye turned and left directly, his steps heavy, unlike his previously lively deanor.
Jiang Xuan stood there watching as Qie Ye walked away, then looked at the two Water Pot Tree Fruits in his hand and placed them into his beast hide bag.
Afterward, he climbed the tallest tree nearby and blew on the bone whistle.
“Eee…errr…”
Soon, Tang Yuan ca flying over from a distant mountaintop and landed on a clearing.
Jiang Xuan climbed down from the tree, ran to the clearing, and then climbed onto Tang Yuan’s back.
“Let’s go, keep moving forward.”
Jiang Xuan patted Tang Yuan’s sturdy feathers. Tang Yuan imdiately took off, circled in the sky twice, then continued flying southeast along the river.
Jiang Xuan glanced back at the Red Ant Tribe in the forest, wondering what it would look like the next ti he visited.
…
Two days later, Jiang Xuan had already distanced himself from the Red Ant Tribe. He used trade to build relations with a tribe by the riverbank and found out the location of the Black Teeth Tribe.
On the third day after leaving the Red Ant Tribe, he found the Black Teeth Tribe.
The Black Teeth Tribe resided on a less common mountain range in the Central Southern Wilderness. Allegedly, their choice to live there wasn’t voluntary, but because they were weaker at the ti and were forced into the mountains.
If it were possible to live on a habitable and cultivable plain, who would choose to inhabit the more rugged mountain conditions?
But no one expected that after moving to the mountains, the Black Teeth Tribe, desperate for change, began utilizing the long-distance flying advantage of the Black-toothed Bird to engage in primitive trade.
By capitalizing on this lucrative trade practice, the Black Teeth Tribe rapidly enhanced its strength, compelling even the tribes that had once forced them into the mountains to trade with them and accept being exploited.
Within just a few decades, the Black Teeth Tribe built a powerful primitive comrcial empire, with their trading expeditions reaching every corner of the Southern Wilderness.
Although their Totem God has yet to beco a great deity, the overall strength of the Black Teeth Tribe is on par with any major tribe.
The tribe mbers of the Black Teeth Tribe live more prosperously than those of any other large tribe.
The mountain range where the Black Teeth Tribe resides was nad the Black Teeth Mountain Range by them. Nowadays, their territory extends beyond just the mountain range, occupying a large portion of the surrounding plains as well.
“Eee…errr…”
Tang Yuan landed by a small lake outside the Black Teeth Tribe. As soon as Jiang Xuan dismounted, a squad of the Black Teeth Tribe’s warriors approached.
Unlike warriors from other tribes, those of the Black Teeth Tribe didn’t appear fierce; each had a friendly expression.
The leading warrior said, “This is the Black Teeth Tribe. What tribe do you belong to? Are you here to trade?”
“I’m from the Vine Tribe. Your leader Wu Yu invited over not long ago.”
“Invited by Leader Wu Yu? Please wait a mont. Leader Wu Yu happens to be around these days. I’ll go find him imdiately.”
The warriors of the Black Teeth Tribe weren’t foolish; they didn’t let people in recklessly and chose to seek confirmation from Wu Yu first.
While waiting, Jiang Xuan casually observed this squad of Black Teeth Tribe warriors.
A tribe’s strength can be clearly seen from its mbers.
First, the warriors of the Black Teeth Tribe were robust, unlike the thin warriors from other tribes, and didn’t give the impression of constant starvation.
Secondly, although their beast hide clothing wasn’t new, each piece was intact, unlike the tattered attire seen in other tribes.
Their weapons were also well-crafted, standing in stark contrast to the crude ones elsewhere.
Lastly, the decorations worn by these warriors, around their necks or hanging from their waists.
These ornants were beautifully polished and could fetch a good trade value.
From these details, it was evident that the Black Teeth Tribe was truly affluent, to a level that inspired envy, even jealousy.
“Leader Xuan, hahaha, as soon as I heard it was soone from the Vine Tribe, I knew it was you!”
Wu Yu erged from the tribe, his face brimming with joy.
Reuniting with an old acquaintance on this hazardous and extrely isolated Primordial Continent is a cause for celebration since many people et once and never again.
Wu Yu warmly extended his invitation, “Co on, let’s go into the tribe. I’ve got plenty of good things there that you’ll surely love.”
Jiang Xuan pointed at Tang Yuan and asked, “Can he co in?”
