Chapter 340 Ji'er Faints
Ying Hua understood and gave the little slave a wink.
The young slave nodded and handed over the prepared pearl.
"This is a small token of my family's appreciation."
"No sir."
How could Rabbit Fur dare to accept it? He quickly knelt down.
"I dare not neglect the orders given by the clan leader, so you can rest assured, sir."
"Just take it." Ying Ming stepped forward and pulled him up. "Beihai is strapped for cash and not well-off. You secretly serve Lord Ying Ze. If you're going to bribe officials later, do you really have the heart to ask him for money?"
"But......"
Ying Ming interrupted him: "My master received a gift from Lord Ying Ze at this grand banquet. In return, he would like to do his part. You don't need to refuse anymore."
Rabbit Fur swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"That's not necessary..."
He possessed over a hundred bushels of pearls, but he only raised silkworms and at most bought a few slaves.
Ying Hua gestured for the little slave to leave.
He got up and walked over to Tu Rong. Tu Rong was stiff and awkward, and immediately broke out in a sweat.
“Currently, the Cloud-Forged Feathered Robe and the Tribute Brocade of the North Sea Ray Maiden are highly favored by the clans. If you want to wear silk, these two clans have been vying for fame and profit for a long time, so how can they tolerate you?”
"this......"
He hadn't thought of these things, or rather, he hadn't thought that far ahead.
Ying Hua continued, "Don't trouble the clan leader with these matters. Dongzhuhai currency can't resolve this; the Dijiang clan is your source of strength."
Hearing him say that, Rabbit Fur finally understood.
He knelt down and kowtowed.
"Thank you, sir. Rabbit fur will certainly not disappoint the clan leader."
Yinghua personally handed the pearl to him.
"Take this. The clan leader appreciates you. If you achieve something in the future, you will bring glory to the North Sea."
"Yes, my lord."
......
After leaving the Dijiang clan, Tu Rong could barely breathe.
Lord Yinghua gave many instructions.
Most of the conversations were about clan affairs that couldn't be discussed openly, and he was sweating profusely as he listened, his mind simply unable to process them.
However, Rabbit Fur was still very grateful.
Just as Lord Yinghua said, pottery and forging are rare items.
But brocade is different. The Ray and Feather tribes have been producing brocade for many years, and it is not an easy task to steal Dongzhuhai currency from these two tribes.
He took a deep breath, his eyes resolute.
The pearl in his arms was no longer as hot as before; instead, he felt more confident.
......
Yuanzhou is really going to get into a big mess now.
The news of the Emperor Jiang clan's alliance spread throughout the nine continents and four seas.
And since it was autumn hunting season, even more clans came to Aoshan.
People come and go, bustling about, a sight to behold.
The Night Bird Clan is extremely busy.
Before the grand banquet, the old clan of Yuanzhou would not let such an opportunity pass by, and they organized one grand banquet after another. She was so busy that she didn't have time to rest. Of course, she also had so many pearls that she was overwhelmed.
Mu Yunyun turned a deaf ear to the commotion outside.
Of course, it's also because her status wasn't high enough. When it comes to welcoming and sending off guests between clans, one needs to have a certain status. Even if the Snow Weasel Clan were to climb up to the Emperor Jiang Clan, they wouldn't be able to secure a place at such a banquet.
"Chieftain, the old mountain doctor has arrived."
The young slave led the old mountain doctor inside.
The old doctor was a little confused and didn't understand what Mu Yunyun meant.
He still has to take care of the cubs. The little guy is at the age where he can fly, which is a lot of worry for him. Just the other day, while chasing a golden pheasant, the cub injured its wing, which made him very distressed.
"What are your orders, Great Clan Chief?"
Mu Yunyun laughed: "It's nothing, I just refined a few pills and wanted to send them to Shennong to ask them to help sell them."
what?
Pill?
The old doctor was even more bewildered.
Doesn't the clan have no shortage of Dongzhuhai currency?
The Nightbird Clan has organized this banquet countless times, and the Eagle Clan has also received considerable income from it.
Mu Yunyun had someone bring over the pills.
"This is something I made in my spare time. It's quite a rare item. Please ask the old mountain doctor to help me deliver it to Shennong. If you need it in the future, just ask."
The old doctor glanced at the pills and was startled.
"Chieftain, this...this..."
The old doctor was absolutely stunned.
What is meant by something rare?
If he wasn't mistaken, these pills were rare even in the sacred mountains!
The clan chief just gave it to him like that?
No?
When did the clan leader refine these pills?
He accepted the pills, or rather, held them close to his chest, not wanting to give them away.
"Clan leader, please think twice. How could Shennong possibly have access to such a fine elixir?"
Those old guys deserve it.
Mu Yunyun wanted to laugh: "We're just asking them to help sell the products and build up some reputation."
Title?
The old doctor didn't understand either.
"What use do you think the clan leader has for these empty titles?"
A completely fictitious title.
Can it be eaten?
Mu Yunyun composed herself.
She has her plans.
Before, I only thought about earning more Dongzhuhai currency so I could have a better life.
However, once we got to this point, we realized it was far from enough.
Identity and status are of paramount importance in a clan.
Of the guests who came to visit this time, some of them were there because of her, the Mu clan, after she formed a pact with the Dijiang clan.
What happens next?
If the maternal clan doesn't stand up, will the offspring have to rely on the paternal clan in the future?
Moreover, there are some things that are hard to explain.
She wanted to make amends, to give him face, and to use the resources of her entire clan to host a grand banquet for him...
Of course, it's too early to say these things; she'll only do what she can do right now.
"It was just something I made casually, nothing particularly rare. If you want it, Old Doctor, I have plenty more here."
Mu Yunyun took out a leather pouch and handed it to him.
"During this period, I have also refined a lot of Marrow Cleansing Pills, which I am preparing to distribute to the various academies. The cubs are also growing up slowly, and they should start cultivating early so that they can protect themselves."
The old doctor looked at the bag of Marrow Cleansing Pills, unsure whether to accept them or not.
Has the clan leader gone mad?
Even if the mountain beasts don't rely on the Marrow Cleansing Pill for cultivation, they still know how precious it is. How could such a large bag be divided up like this?
"Chieftain, what terrible thing has happened?"
Are we going to be wiped out?
Or is the clan chief going to quit?
Mu Yunyun said with a hint of helplessness, "No, it's just a precaution."
The old doctor accepted the bag full of Marrow Cleansing Pills with some suspicion. Each courtyard had a share, but not everyone did. To ensure fairness, the cubs were given priority first, and the rest were reserved for the main family members.
However, these things alone have already caused an uproar.
The Marrow Cleansing Pills were distributed to each courtyard, and the six clans, who had been neglected, suddenly felt no resentment at all.
This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill!
Their little clam clan is only at the first level, how could they be qualified to receive such precious pills!
"I didn't expect the clan leader to still care about us."
The little clam girls' eyes reddened again. With the Marrow Cleansing Pill, they could awaken their spiritual veins, which would not only bring many benefits to their cultivation but also give them the ability to protect themselves. This was something they never dared to imagine before.
More importantly, if they awaken their spiritual veins, these young females will be able to enter the mountains.
Once inside the mountains, one can hunt, and the prey can be sold for some sea coins. Although it's not as good as the rabbit tribe, it's still a contribution to the tribe.
Aunt Luo also laughed: "What kind of behavior is this, crying and sobbing? The clan leader is doing this for our own good. We must not let the clan leader down in the future."
"That's natural."
The little females stopped crying and started laughing, clutching the Marrow Cleansing Pill tightly in their hands.
......
Here.
The cubs were also delighted.
"I heard that taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill can awaken the spiritual veins. Brother, once I awaken my spiritual veins, I can protect you."
Qi Si's eyes were bright.
Her brother's rank is low, and he will definitely be bullied in the future. She must become stronger to protect him and become his support.
Ji'er rubbed her little head and smiled indulgently.
"Alright, brother, just wait."
Qi Si blushed, but did not dodge.
In her mother's clan, she hated everyone except her brother. He treated her well and took care of her in everything. She depended on him and admired him. Wherever her brother was, she would be there too.
Qi Zhuan rolled down the small hill, fell flat on his face, and landed in front of Qi Si.
"Sister, when are we going to take the Marrow Cleansing Pill? I want to take it too."
Shao Yan laughed on the hill: "Even if I gave you food, it wouldn't help. You still can't beat me."
"you!"
"Brother, stop arguing."
Little Fourteen looked up at the group of little rascals, a furrow of his brow on his pretty little face.
Xiao Shisi is most like Mu Yunyun; Shao Yan gets scared whenever she's unhappy.
The little guy dashed down the hill in a flash.
"Don't be angry, sister. I'll catch a golden cicada for you to eat later."
"What time is it and you're still thinking about food?" Little Fourteen didn't want to argue with him and grabbed his ear: "Father told me to go back, you should go back too."
"Okay, okay, let go, sister, it hurts!"
Ji'er let them make a fuss, and then picked up Qi Si.
"Go, go back."
Qi Si wrapped her arms around his neck and unknowingly became a little sleepy.
She vaguely thought that she would take the Marrow Cleansing Pill when she got back, start cultivating as soon as possible, and become her brother's pride.
Ji'er was unaware of Qi Si's thoughts.
He didn't have any particular obsession with the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
He was not of high rank.
Even if you have the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it won't be of much use.
Mu Bai thought so too.
"Our Snow Weasel clan doesn't have much natural talent, but it's better than nothing. Having some ability to protect ourselves is good."
He ordered the little slave to bring out the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
The golden-yellow Marrow Cleansing Pills were placed on a plate; there were eight in total.
The other little ones stared longingly, brimming with curiosity.
Seeing that Ji'er was standing properly and not making a fuss like the other cubs, Mu Bai curiously beckoned him over.
Ji'er stepped forward.
"Father."
Seeing him like this, Mu Bai felt extremely distressed. The cub was only four years old, yet he was so sensible and mature beyond his years...
He couldn't help but pick him up: "Ji'er isn't interested in the Marrow Cleansing Pill?"
Being picked up like that in front of his younger siblings made him feel a little embarrassed as the older brother, and his face turned slightly red with shyness.
However, he still said, "I just need to take good care of my younger siblings and not let my parents worry."
Hearing him say that, Mu Baixin felt a pang of anxiety.
As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. As a father, he was gentle and mild-mannered, disliked fighting, and his children inherited his temperament...
For the first time, he felt a pang of self-blame and tried to make amends.
"Father was wrong just now. Who said that there are no outstanding talents in our Snow Weasel clan? Look at your mother. When she gave birth to you, she was only at the first level. After awakening her spiritual veins, she is now at the sixth level, which is higher than your father Ying Ze. This shows that hard work is also of utmost importance. You must not feel sorry for yourself."
"Little Fourteen is most like Mother, and he will definitely be just as amazing as Mother."
"Ji'er..."
Mu Bai's eyes welled up with tears, and he instinctively wanted to cry. But he was a father after all, and he couldn't show weakness in front of his young child. He turned his back and quietly wiped away his tears.
Ji'er hugged Mu Bai tightly: "Father, don't be sad. Did Ji'er say something wrong?"
"No no."
Mu Bai was comforted by the cub, and she couldn't stop crying.
He and she treated each other with respect, but she rarely came to his yard. Even when she did come, it was mostly to see the cubs. He felt that he was useless and hadn't given the cubs any confidence.
He took a deep breath.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Your mother said that awakening the spiritual veins will be uncomfortable for a while. If you feel unwell after taking it, your father will go find a shaman immediately."
"Understood, Father."
Ji'er climbed down from Mu Bai's arms, reached out and took a Marrow Cleansing Pill, swallowing it directly.
The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and with each swallow, a warm current seemed to flow through the body.
"How are you feeling, Ji'er?"
"Just..." So warm...
There doesn't seem to be anything unusual.
"I'm afraid there won't be any reaction for a while. Quickly, use some tea to calm it down."
He had never taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but since it was medicine, it was naturally bitter.
Just as Ji'er was about to say it wasn't bitter, a piercing pain spread from her lower abdomen.
The pain flowed through his limbs and bones, causing his legs to buckle and he collapsed to the ground.
"Ji'er!"
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
This sudden change happened so fast that Mu Bai didn't even have time to react.
"What's going on? Quick! Go and fetch the witch doctor!"
He had heard that taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill would cause discomfort, but Ji'er's condition didn't seem like discomfort at all; rather, it looked like she was living a life worse than death!
He panicked immediately.
Seeing their brother like this, the other children dared not touch the elixir.
The little slaves panicked and ran to fetch the witch doctor.
"What did you say? Ji'er fainted?"
Mu Bai's courtyard was next to the Eagle Clan's, and Ye Yu was the first to know the news.
His cub was still young, and he had only distributed the Marrow Cleansing Pill to his clansmen. Now, most of his clansmen were still immersed in the joy of awakening their spiritual veins, and when they suddenly heard this news, they thought they had misheard.
"Yes, Lord Mu Bai is extremely anxious and has already gone to fetch a witch doctor. Would you like to go and take a look?"
"nature."
It would be a lie to say I wasn't worried. How could I not feel sorry for the cub that Ye Yu had raised from a cub? As soon as I received the news, I prepared to go there.
There's a lot of commotion here.
Ying Ze heard it too.
He was asking about silkworm farming when suddenly there was a commotion in the courtyard. Upon hearing that something had happened to Ji'er, he rushed over.
During those two years, Ji'er was the closest to him, and Ji'er called him "Uncle Father." How could he possibly ignore him?
"Awakening your spiritual veins shouldn't cause you to faint from the pain. Let's go check on them."
Ying Ze was on tenterhooks. In the clan, people only took the Marrow Cleansing Pill at the age of twelve.
After all, cubs are difficult to raise, and there has never been a case of someone taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill from a young age.
He was walking fast and bumped into Mu Yunyun.
