A Conversation, Setting a Precedent?
"Fellow Daoist Li, these people are all..."
Pan looked at Li Yunjing, unable to suppress his curiosity.
Li Yunjing smiled and replied, "Fellow Daoist Pan, these people are all... well, my friends."
They came here because they were curious about the sacred day of the Gui tribe, so they came with me.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Pan minds? If so, I will send them back."
Pan shook his head. "What kind of person does Fellow Daoist Li take me for? We're already here, why go back?"
Moreover, on the day of worship, the more people there are, the more likely they are to receive a response from the gods.
Fellow Daoist Li has brought so many people; perhaps this time our Heavenly Ox Tribe can successfully awaken the Heavenly Ox God!
Pan grinned, looking very happy.
Seeing that Pan showed no displeasure, Li Yunjing was relieved.
Li Yunjing was well aware of the matter of whether or not guests should be brought along.
This time it was out of necessity; we had no choice but to do this in order to deal with the demonic forces.
At this moment, all the cultivators who were also on the righteous path also landed on the ground.
Pan went forward to greet everyone.
With Liu Yiyi's translation, everyone greeted Pan one by one.
Pan then immediately ordered the people of the Heavenly Ox Tribe to take Li Yunjing and the others into the Heavenly Ox Tribe.
Li Yunjing and his group entered the Heavenly Ox Tribe.
A primitive, Savage Wilderness atmosphere wafted over me.
Most of the barbarians of the Heavenly Ox Tribe wore animal skins.
Only a small number of barbarians wore clothes made of hemp cloth.
People of higher status and position, such as Pan, wore better clothes.
It seems that there is a very strict hierarchy within the Heavenly Ox Tribe.
The barbarians of the Heavenly Ox Tribe also lived in stone and wooden houses.
Most people lived in wooden houses, except for Pan and others who lived in stone houses.
Li Yunjing took in the surrounding scene, which could only be described as conforming to stereotypes.
This is normal, after all, the Heavenly Ox Tribe hasn't been in contact with the outside world for very long.
Some habits can't be changed in a short time.
Li Yunjing and the others were led by Pan into a large stone house.
According to Pan, this large stone house was built by the ancestor of the Heavenly Ox Tribe, specifically to receive distinguished guests.
As soon as Li Yunjing and the others entered the stone house, the scene before them suddenly changed.
The interior of this stone house was not the normal scene that Li Yunjing should have seen.
Instead, it was an endless grassland.
The weather was fine and sunny, peaceful and serene.
"It's actually Mustard Seed Space! This ancestor of the Heavenly Ox Tribe is no ordinary person." Sikong Ying, standing beside Li Yunjing, was quite surprised.
Mustard Seed Space, a space-based Law Technique that is difficult to master.
This Law Technique allows one to create a space anywhere.
For example, Storage Bag, about the size of a palm, but with a hidden Storage Bag inside.
This is actually related to Mustard Seed Space.
Li Yunjing nodded in amazement.
At that moment, two people walked over from a distance.
Although they seemed far away from Li Yunjing, the two arrived in front of Li Yunjing and the others in just a few breaths.
The two used some kind of escape technique, similar to Wang Qianxue's Shrinking the Earth to an Inch.
One of them, a burly man with a bare upper body, who looked like High Antiquity god, stepped forward.
"I have heard the explanation from Commander Pan. Welcome to the Heavenly Ox Tribe."
This burly man actually spoke a fluent official Great Qiu dialect, instead of the barbarian language.
Li Yunjing was somewhat surprised.
After all, as the Grand Commander,
They only have a superficial understanding of the official language of Great Qiu.
At this moment, the burly man looked at Li Yunjing again.
"This must be True Person Li Luozhen Sect?"
Li Yunjing nodded. "Exactly."
The burly man grinned. "The arrival of True Person Li brings great honor to my Heavenly Ox Tribe."
Previously, True Person Li generously donated funds, helping my Heavenly Ox Tribe successfully overcome the crisis.
"We, the Heavenly Ox Tribe, will never forget this kindness."
Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Chief, there's no need to be so polite. The Heavenly Ox Tribe was of great help to my Luozhen Sect back then."
"My name is Yan. Just call me by my name," the burly man said.
After saying a few more words of gratitude, Yan invited everyone to sit down.
Then, some barbarians entered the stone house and served wine, fruit, and meat to Li Yunjing and the others.
They even lit a bonfire in front of everyone, as if they were going to have a bonfire party.
Li Yunjing was pulled to sit next to Yan.
Yan immediately poured Li Yunjing a bowl of wine.
Li Yunjing drank it all in one gulp, and Yan then took a bone knife, cut off a piece of meat, and placed it on a stone plate in front of Li Yunjing.
"Try it! This is meat from Snake Wolf Tiger, and tigers—it's incredibly nutritious!" Yan laughed.
Upon hearing the name "Snake Wolf Tiger, Tiger, "Li Yunjing's eyes lit up.
This is a ferocious beast that only exists in the Great Wilderness.
This ferocious beast had a very peculiar appearance; it had the body of a tiger, but three heads: a snake, a wolf, and a tiger.
That's why this ferocious beast got its name.
As Yan said, the meat of Snake Wolf Tiger is indeed highly nutritious.
For cultivators, the flesh of Snake Wolf Tiger can nourish their bodies.
Long-term consumption may even broaden the meridians and expand the Dantian (lower abdomen).
Li Yunjing took a bite of meat, and the aroma spread across his tongue, Li Yunjing very satisfied.
Even though he had already reached the Middle Golden Core realm,
Li Yunjing, however, still places great importance on food.
After all, I don't have any other hobbies.
While they were eating meat, suddenly, someone sat down next to Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing turned his head and saw that the person was thin and hunched over.
Around his neck hung a necklace made of ferocious beast teeth, and on his head was an unidentified skull.
He was very old; he was a shaman of the Heavenly Ox Tribe, and his status was not low.
Li Yunjing immediately replied, "Greetings, Heavenly Ox Shaman."
"You're too kind, Master True Person Li," the Heavenly Ox Shaman said, surprisingly speaking fluent Great Qiu official dialect.
Seeing the surprise on Li Yunjing's face, Heavenly Ox Shaman explained with a smile.
"When I was young, I left the tribe to travel around and had a lot of contact with you Great Qiu People, so it's not surprising that I can speak your language."
Yan echoed, "He said the same thing."
"True Person Li, there's something I'd like to discuss with True Person Li," said the Heavenly Ox Shaman.
Li Yunjing swallowed the meat in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and said, "Please speak."
"I am already a crippled body, half of my body buried in the earth, with no hope of breaking through," the Heavenly Ox Shaman slowly spoke.
"But there are still many young people in my Heavenly Ox Tribe. They still have hope, but they are suffering from the lack of corresponding spiritual objects."
This has caused these young people to get stuck and unable to break through.
I would like to ask True Person Li to find the appropriate spiritual object for the Heavenly Ox Tribe so that these young people can successfully break through their limits.
Li Yunjing asked, "What kind of spiritual items do you need? If they're not difficult, I can help."
"Simple, the elixirs you Great Qiu People take are enough."
"For example, elixirs that help break through cultivation levels, such as Foundation Establishment Pill and Dao Rhyme Pill," the Heavenly Ox Shaman responded.
After a pause, the Heavenly Ox Shaman sighed.
"It's a pity that my Heavenly Ox Tribe doesn't have any talented Alchemist, otherwise my Heavenly Ox Tribe could refine these elixirs ourselves."
After listening, Li Yunjing slowly nodded:
"Alright, I can help with that."
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Ox Shaman immediately smiled and looked at Li Yunjing.
"Don't worry, True Person Li, the Heavenly Ox Tribe will not let True Person Li help for nothing."
To express their gratitude to True Person Li, the Heavenly Ox Tribe will allow True Person Li to preside over this sacrificial ceremony.
Moreover, the Heavenly Ox Tribe would exchange spiritual items of equal value for those elixirs.
Li Yunjing was startled when he heard this.
Is it proper for him to preside over the sacrificial ceremony?
Li Yunjing had inquired about information related to the sacrificial ceremony.
This sacrificial ceremony is an activity that every tribe in the Hundred Yue Mountain attaches great importance to.
Those who can preside over sacrificial rites are all figures of high status and prestige in their respective tribes.
There has never been a precedent of an outsider presiding over a religious ceremony.
Could it be that Li Yunjing is about to set a precedent today?
