I'm caught in the cycle of endless competition, you're waiting for me in the apocalypse.

"Arno, take us there!" Anxin believed that Huno might have discovered salt rocks, and if so, she could teach the beastmen how to make salt.

Led by Hu Nuo, the group arrived at a barren hill after about an incense stick's time.

You can see many stones covered in a white frost on the sunny side of the mountain. Scrape off some of the frost, taste it, and it is indeed salty.

"Aran, Ahan, can you dig a hole here?" Anxin pointed to a barren, rocky area at the foot of the mountain.

"Ah Xin, I'll help too!" Hu Nuo conjured up a metal claw and slammed it down on the ground.

After a while, the gray-black color of the soil and rocks gradually diminished, revealing the pinkish-white salt rock inside.

"Great! We really found it!" An Xin excitedly picked up a piece of salt rock.

The group walked towards her curiously. "This must be the salt Xinxin was talking about! I thought it was only found in the sea!" Ao Jue said in surprise.

“Yes, there are basically two types of salt: sea salt and rock salt. They both originate from the sea, but they have different states due to geological changes.” An Xin tossed a pretty little piece of salt to Ao Jue and continued, “Rock salt becomes salt after extraction. Salt has many benefits, such as improving the taste of food, supplementing nutrition, promoting digestion, participating in body fluid metabolism, reducing inflammation and swelling, increasing appetite, and promoting health.”

"Wow, salt is really a wonderful thing!" As a shaman, Han was so excited to hear about its many benefits that he couldn't put it down.

"Ahan, you must remember that anything in excess will have its opposite! Too much salt can also be harmful, so it's enough to consume a moderate amount in your daily diet." An Xin bent down to pick up the cleaner crystals, and decided to store some more in her spatial storage!

He called on everyone to help pick up the stones, and before long, a small rocky hill appeared in the space.

"Ah Ran, light the fire and set up the pot. I'll teach you how to extract salt crystals!"

Take out a variety of supplies and materials from the space.

The stone pot was placed on the stone stove, and the stream water from the space was added. The crushed salt blocks were then dissolved in the water.

As the temperature rises, the salt dissolves more quickly in the water until it is completely dissolved.

Filter the salt water with the coarse cloth in Anxin Space, then reheat the liquid and stir...

However, this process took too long, so An Xin suddenly had a brilliant idea: to spray his colorless flame at the salt solution.

The water in the salt solution instantly vaporized, and salt crystals precipitated out.

"Ah Xin, what did you do just now? Why did the water in the pot suddenly make a 'sizzling' sound and jump around?" Hu Nuo asked, puzzled, seeing that An Xin had only placed her hand above the stone pot and the inside of the pot had changed so drastically.

"Ah, this is my colorless flame! This flame is extremely hot, which is why it can explode in an instant," An Xin said casually.

"Xinxin, this is the first time I've ever heard of colorless flames," Ao Jue said, equally curious.

"Yes, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth that were unlocked at the Golden Core stage this time are indeed different from the ordinary ones. If we consider the superpowers in my world, these are manifestations of high-level superpowers. It's just that the way they were obtained and the methods of cultivation are different."

"Does that mean the abilities are different in each world?" Wu Ran joined the discussion. He was still young and only had two tattoos, which was far beyond the abilities of these adults.

“Yes, the circumstances in each world are different, resulting in vastly different ways of operating the world, and the rules of the world are also different. Cultivation is about discovering the laws, mastering the laws, and following or even using these laws to turn them into one’s own power. Furthermore, the rules and laws are also constantly changing, as can be said, ‘The Tao that can be told is not the constant Tao.’” An Xin moved “metal, wood, water, fire, earth” back and forth in her hands, then created electric arcs, ice blocks, wind whirls, and light.

"Look, as long as you grasp the most basic principles and operating mechanisms, the form and function will be different when the elements change! And these basic elements, principles and operating mechanisms will change under different environmental conditions, which also leads to the differences in each world."

An Xin explained to the beastmen very seriously, and continued, "Different worlds, different beings in the six realms, we can only adapt using relatively similar methods."

Perhaps it was too profound to talk to orcs about these things; she only wanted to offer some suggestions or teach them things suitable for their time, hoping to improve their impoverished lives.

"I hope everyone can swear to the Beast God that nothing about Lord Jue, Lord Diting, and Lord Xin shall be revealed to outsiders!" She Ming suddenly stood up and solemnly made this request to the three beastmen.

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone immediately understood that this wisdom, which transcends time and space, cannot be widely disseminated. It's the same principle as not being able to discuss ice with a summer insect.

And so, the orcs swore an oath to the Beast God that they would never reveal their identities or their theories that transcended this world.

"Thank you all for your understanding, and thank you for A-Ming's reminder." An Xin filtered the remaining salt solution in the stone pot again, squeezed it dry, and put the salt back into the stone pot to stir until it turned into fine, snow-white salt crystals.

An Xin placed the salt crystals into a bamboo bucket and pointed to the remaining material after filtration: "This is gypsum, and that's a bitter liquid (magnesium chloride). These are also useful materials..."

"Who are you?" A sudden shout interrupted An Xin's teaching session.

Huno saw that the newcomers were just three-striped beastmen, and from their clothing, he could tell that they were patrolling warriors from a nearby tribe.

Stepping forward, he clenched his right fist and struck his left chest, proclaiming loudly, "I am the successor of the Tiger Clan's priesthood, this is High Priest Ming, the Cold Witch Doctor of the Black and White Bear Clan, the Xin Witch Doctor of the Fox Clan, and the rest are our clansmen! We will go to the temple with High Priest Ming to participate in the priesthood awakening ceremony!"

Seeing that the group appeared relaxed and natural, dressed in elaborate and exquisite clothing, with the imposing orc at the head wearing a black snakeskin suit and exuding a powerful aura, he respectfully said, "My lords, we are warriors from the Boundless Tribe of the Boundless Forest. Recently, we have been frequently attacked by small groups of ferocious beasts, which is why we are so tense. We apologize for disturbing you."

The orc warriors bowed in unison to the group.

"It's nothing, we were just passing by," She Ming waved his hand and said calmly.

“Um… could we invite you to our tribe? Many orcs in the tribe have been injured due to the recent attacks by ferocious beasts…” An orc warrior mustered his courage, stepped forward, knelt down, and pleaded.

"Where is your tribe's witch doctor?" Huno asked.

"Our harp healer has been kidnapped...and some females have been abducted too!" the orc warrior said dejectedly, his head hanging low.

"These despicable beasts!" Hu Nuo slammed his right fist into his left palm, his face grave.

"Let's go take a look first. Ran, help me pack up." An Xin nodded to everyone, walked to the side, and, with Wu Ran blocking her way, put the stone pot and other items into her spatial storage.

After extinguishing the fire and covering up the traces, the group followed the orc warriors toward the Boundless Tribe.

"Chief, Chief! We're back! We've brought back the High Priest!" The orc warriors waved and shouted excitedly as they saw the tribal chief standing outside the tribal walls.

The middle-aged man took a few steps closer to the group and politely said, "Gentlemen, I am Hong, the chief of the Boundless Tribe. And you are?"

The orc warriors introduced him, and their leader, Yuan Hong, immediately became very attentive and bowed to everyone.

"My lords, please come in with me! Archie, go and arrange for the orcs to reinforce and heighten this section of the wall."

Yuan Hong led a few people into the tribe: "We are a mixed tribe. We used to be small tribes, but later, as more and more ferocious beasts appeared, some tribes were slaughtered, so we had no choice but to unite together."

Pointing to the dilapidated wall and the chaotic square not far away, Yuan Hong said with a heavy heart, "After two years of peace, the number of ferocious beasts has suddenly increased this year. The most terrifying ones are the high-level mad beasts. They came again last night, stealing our food and females. Even the Qin witch doctor was kidnapped by them... Alas..."

The middle-aged Yuan Hong sighed deeply, shaking his head, and seemed to have aged considerably in an instant.

"Let's check on the wounded first!" An Xin reluctantly withdrew her gaze from looking around, and inexplicably, the anti-Japanese war dramas she watched as a child came to mind! These beastmen were like the Japanese devils invading a village, implementing the Three Alls Policy.

As the group entered the dimly lit cave, a strong stench of blood mixed with the smell of decay hit them.

An Xin frowned and turned to the leader, saying, "The environment here is terrible. Is there a bright and dry place?"

"Not at the moment..." Yuan Hong was very embarrassed.

"Alright, we have some high-level earth and stone orcs among us. Let's build a hut in the plaza now, and then we'll organize people to carry the injured orcs there." An Xin gestured for the others to follow her, then turned and instructed Panda Han to stay behind to check on the wounded and send them to the plaza in order of severity.

She had several people provide cover for her in the open space of the square, while An Xin raised her hand and piled up stones and soil to build a single-story house of about 500 square meters and 3 meters high.

The house is square, with several beams and pillars inside, a 3-meter-wide door frame, and two large window frames on each of the four sides.

During the hot season, there's absolutely no need to worry about not having windows and doors!

Let Wu Ran light a fire inside. Her herbs and silver needles are placed on a stone table against the wall.

"Arno, you and Arran boil water outside." Anxin built a stove next to the house, put a large stone pot on it, and added the stream water from her space.

"Ajue, go to the cave and call the chief and Ahan to carry the beastmen over. Be gentle and don't cause them further injury." Anxin clapped her hands and went back into the house to prepare fine cotton cloth, sewing supplies, and salt.

Yes, this time, apart from those with particularly serious injuries, Anxin wanted to use more traditional methods to treat the injured orcs.

She also hopes to leave behind some simple and effective medical knowledge and skills for this primitive world.

Take out several bamboo jars, pour in boiled warm water, add a little salt, and make a light salt solution. (For your information, a 0.9% saline solution has excellent antibacterial and wound-cleaning properties.)

Seeing the chief and Han carrying the battered orc in animal skins, An Xin hurriedly asked, "Chief, were there any shamans or orcs who helped shamans in the tribe before?"

"Yes, there are two orcs who often help out."

“Alright, call them here. I will carefully teach them how to treat the injured beastmen.”

Upon hearing this, the leader was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and then disappeared in a flash.

The sky was completely dark, with three moons hanging in the inky sky and starlight twinkling from time to time.

Fortunately, the beastmen have excellent eyesight and can see clearly even in such an environment!

Approaching the fire, An Xin examined the critically ill orc who had just been brought in. His body was covered in countless wounds, the most serious of which was a bone knife slash in his abdomen.

His intestines were almost exposed, and blood was still gushing out.
