I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

“This is nothing.” With that, Hua Rong opened another package, which also contained a large, dark stone, with nothing unusual about its surface.

Jiang Ning had already made up her mind, so she sat down comfortably and waited for Hua Rong to introduce her.

Hua Rong didn't intend to keep you in suspense. After opening the package, she introduced it to Jiang Ning: "In the past, there was a tribe in this area. They were just like your Jiang tribe and were very good at growing all kinds of things."

"To be honest, when I first looked up from the sky, I thought the vanished Zhong tribe had reappeared. But after looking closely, I found that your planting methods are very different from those of the Zhong tribe."

The Red Fox Witch asked curiously, "A tribe?"

"The Zhong tribe was originally a medium-sized tribe with great strength. They were most skilled at cultivating all sorts of things and could also raise many ferocious beasts. As you know, hunting teams have to put in a lot of effort to catch enough prey to feed a tribe, but the Zhong tribe was able to keep powerful ferocious beasts in the tribe for its people to eat at will."

Jiang Ning was truly shocked this time; there had actually been such a tribe here.

Have they already entered an agrarian civilization?

Although Jiangbu has been trying to raise animals, it has so far been limited to ordinary wild beasts and has never tried to raise ferocious beasts.

The ferocious beasts are powerful and difficult to tame; if one is not careful, they can injure ordinary people in the tribe.

"You mean before? Such a powerful tribe was wiped out?"

Hua Rong nodded: "Yes, they suddenly perished a few years ago. Their lineage was cut off, and they have never appeared again."

Why did they perish?

"This is why our Black Scale Tribe wants to cooperate with the Jiang Tribe. You already know about the Ma Tribe. Their strength has increased very quickly. We have always suspected that the Ma Tribe and the Tao Tribe were behind the Zhong Tribe's affair."

Jiang Ning pondered, "The Tao tribe... they are a large tribe, yet they get involved in such trivial matters."

Hua Rong didn't continue talking about the Tao tribe after Jiang Ning's words, but instead said, "The Zhong tribe has an ability. They have a magical spring called the Nurturing Spring. This Nurturing Spring cannot enhance the strength of warriors, nor can it heal them. It has only one effect, which is to enhance fertility after drinking it."

"Improve fertility?" Jiang Ning stood up excitedly.

Since there's no family planning policy here, the more children the better.

Jiang's life is getting better and better, and his spouse no longer has to be separated from him as often as before, except during the winter when they can stay together all the time.

However, as if some obstacle was hindering it, the number of newborns did not increase much, not only in the Sirius tribe, but also in other tribes.

Several tribes practice walking marriage or polygamy, but even so, the number of newborns is still low.

It's not that they weren't proactive; Jiang Ning could hear some embarrassing sounds whenever she passed by the stone house or the plantation.

Even now, in places where the hibiscus flowers are in full bloom, you can still occasionally witness couples engaging in illicit sexual activity.

Since primitive people didn't have any concept of chastity, and no one's partner came to complain, Jiang Ning was too lazy to be the bad guy. Anyway, they were both willing to hit and be hit, and she was happy to do it.

"That's right. Although the Nurturing Spring has no effect on humans, it is extremely useful for battle pets and ferocious beasts. Many people believe that the Seed Tribe is able to raise those things so well thanks to the help of the Nurturing Spring. The Seed Tribe occasionally uses the Nurturing Spring water to trade with people from other tribes. No tribe would complain about having too many battle pets, which makes the Nurturing Spring water very precious."

Seeing that the spring water had no effect on people, Jiang Ning had lost most of his interest.

Looking at the large stone on the table, she couldn't help but start speculating. Hua Rong wouldn't bring up Yu Quan for no reason; what did this stone have to do with Yu Quan?

Lotus Witch probed, "If it's effective against ferocious beasts, what about ferocious plants?" The number of Queen Lotus in their tribe was far too small, so she couldn't help but be anxious.

Hua Rong smiled and said, "It is indeed effective. Plants irrigated by the exotic spring water can reproduce faster. The tribesmen will also dilute the exotic spring water to irrigate their planting areas, which will increase the yield of their planting areas."

"I've heard that there's a small island in the Yuquan spring of the Zhong tribe, and only one fruit tree grows on it. They call this fruit tree the Yuguo. As you all know, the stronger a ferocious beast is, the lower its ability to reproduce. Moreover, the strength of its offspring is far inferior to that of the previous generation. Even the King Bone Beasts' offspring can only reach the strength of a Pure Bone Beast at most. The rest depends on the efforts of their offspring themselves."

"The purpose of this nurturing fruit is to give offspring a higher starting point. If a skeletal beast eats the nurturing fruit, it may even give birth to offspring of a true skeletal beast. However, this is all hearsay; no one has ever seen a real nurturing fruit."

"After the Zhong tribe was destroyed, we also sent people to their territory to investigate. Not to mention the small island, even the soil around the Yuquan spring had been dug up."

Silence fell over the room. The sudden demise of a powerful tribe had left everyone feeling a sense of loss and sorrow.

After a while, Hua Rong continued, "We also speculated that the Zhong tribe people, because they were good at farming, neglected the training of warriors, which led to them not having enough ability to protect themselves when the crisis came. However, they have disappeared, and no one knows what the truth was back then."

This is actually another reason why Jiang Ning has not yet tried raising ferocious beasts. Warriors need to fight constantly to hone their indomitable will and unstoppable fighting power.

If they live in a comfortable environment for a long time, it's hard to guarantee that they won't become like frogs being boiled in warm water, seemingly at ease but slowly losing their vigilance and fighting spirit.

"These stones come from the heart of the Yuquan spring. The Yuquan water gains its magical properties by soaking in these stones. We were lucky enough to exchange two stones from the Ma tribe, and this is one of them. We have tried it many times. Just soaking them in water will allow the Jiang tribe to have Yuquan water in the future. The longer the soaking time, the better the effect."

Lianwu really wanted to try the Yuquan water on the Overlord Lotus, but she also knew that the matter was of great importance and could not speak casually. She could only look at Jiang Ning with longing.

Lianwu's gaze was so focused that Jiang Ning couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to. She couldn't help but smile. Come to think of it, Lianwu was only a teenager. In her previous life, she would have been a child.

Jiang Ning turned his head and looked solemnly at Hua Rong: "I have seen the sincerity of the Black Scale Tribe. I am willing to lead the Jiang tribe to become friends with the Black Scale Tribe. If our friends are in trouble, I will definitely bring my people to help."
