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

"The Heavenly Witch is more than just a name. The Heavenly Witch's abilities are mysterious and unpredictable. She can summon clouds and rain, condense water into ice, and is almost omnipotent. She can also conceal all detection. The witch exhausted most of her witch power to help us escape, and some of her tribesmen scattered and fled, attracting the attention of the Tao tribe. That's how we survived."

“Look at our totem. We haven’t lied to you. This totem is controlled by every member of our tribe, and it truly has two appearances. It is said that when the Yushu was first discovered by the tribe, it was a strange plant that glowed at night. As it grew larger, its appearance became more and more ordinary. Gradually, outsiders no longer knew what the real Yushu looked like, and even thought that the Yushu did not exist at all. For some reason, the first shaman only allowed the tribe to show one totem to outsiders, which is the appearance you know. That is why we were able to escape with the Yushu.”

Jiang Ning: "One last question, do you really not know the relationship between the Fish Tribe and the Pottery Tribe?"

The shaman solemnly said, "I swear on the seal of my tribe that the Tao tribe and the Yu tribe are enemies. I don't know the specifics, but I can confirm that the Tao tribe is weaker than the Yu tribe, and the Yu tribe is hostile to all tribes related to the Tao tribe."

Jiang Ning nodded: "I have nothing more to ask. Do you have any questions?"

The others looked at each other, then turned to Jiang Ning and shook their heads.

"Alright, you know why I called you here. Are you willing to join the Jiang tribe?"

Upon hearing this, the witch's heart trembled. After saying so much, this moment had finally arrived.

The Iron-Eating Beast Shaman spoke first: "If there's a spirit crystal mine, I'm willing!"

Spotted Duck Witch: "That's right! Since the Pottery Tribe can't find the Seed Tribe, what are we afraid of? At worst, we can just move to the Fish Tribe's territory! We originally lived by the sea!"

The Lotus Witch was also very interested in the seeds that the Seed Witch had mentioned. If people were afraid of this and that every day, the tribesmen wouldn't need to kill any ferocious beasts and could just wait to die in their caves: "As long as the Witch Jiang is here, we are not afraid of anything!"

Bamboo Witch also recalled the mysterious and powerful force that Jiang Ning had used before, and her courage grew: "That's right, there's also Rock King!"

The shrew spoke tremulously, "I don't have much time left to live. I hope I can see a spirit crystal mine before I die."

For a moment, not a single person objected.

Wealth is a powerful motivator, and this is a spirit crystal mine—who could refuse?

With spirit crystals, the shaman's strength will rapidly increase, and the warriors will no longer be suppressed, leading to a surge in high-level warriors. Coupled with the continuous supply of beast cores from the trading area, it's only a matter of time before the tribe becomes stronger.

Jiang Ning also made a decision. This world is different from her previous life. If she always shrinks back from the path of fear and hesitation, she is destined not to survive in this cruel world.

Besides, since the shaman has already put it this way, accepting them is a no-brainer; on the contrary, it would bring many benefits.

If all else fails, we can unleash the power of the ancestral witches and find another island to hide on; that's always a way out.

The sorcerer walked up to Jiang Ning and asked her to take the sorcerer's seal.

The others didn't leave either; they still hadn't seen the tree.

Spirit crystal ore is a good thing, and it's also good for growing trees.

Jiang Ning awoke from the vast amount of information passed down by the Zhong tribe. There was so much content that she only picked out a few key points to read. She would read the rest later when she had time.

"Lianwu, take people to the inoculation tribe, no, the Yingcao tribe."

Lianwu replied, "Yes!"

Jiang Ning then looked at the others: "Each of you select five people from your tribe. Once the Yingcao tribe is settled, we will go together to check out the spirit crystal mine."

Everyone was overjoyed, having been waiting for those words: "Yes!"

Jiang Ning led his men outside, and Lian Wu took Chief Yingcao with her when she left, leaving only a few guards outside.

Hongyue came to greet him. He knew some of the inside story, but not much. He only knew that the Jiang tribe had gained another tribe.

Jiang Ning said, "Let them disperse. If there's nothing else, go and help Lianwu. Tell Chief Yingcao to send the things to the Jiang tribe to the island in the middle of the lake."

Hongyue agreed and led her people away, while Jiang Ning led them slowly toward the island in the middle of the lake.

Yingcao tribe is a matrilineal tribe. The tribe's shamans and chiefs throughout history have all been women. With a large population, they also have many partners, so the practice of having multiple partners is not unusual.

They rarely need to go to other tribes to find partners, and even if they do go to other tribes, they will not tell the new tribespeople about the secrets of the Yingcao tribe. Their totems will also be erased, so no one knows that the Yingcao tribe is a tribe.

When Hongyue reached the outer ring, Lianwu was organizing the people of Yingcao tribe to gather in an open space.

The Yingcao tribe has over a thousand members, along with their battle pets and belongings, so they can only be transported by bamboo raft, and even then, they have to wait a while.

Lotus Witch summoned the Giant Lotus for help, and Spotted Duck Witch hurriedly sent the tribe's spotted ducks to fetch the people. Clam Witch silently lowered her head, helpless, as clams could not fetch people.

The first tree brought in was the Nurturing Tree. If Yingcao Wu hadn't explained it to everyone, they wouldn't have noticed anything special about it.

Zhu Wu circled around the Yu Shu with great interest. The Yu Shu had probably been fed a lot of good things by the people of the Yingcao tribe, and it had grown quite large now.

The trunk was just big enough for one person to hug, and about two people tall. The leaves didn't look particularly special, with a few scattered yellow fruits remaining. The roots at the base of the tree were intertwined, embracing a large black rock.

The Bull Witch looked at the Nurturing Tree, then at the forest on the distant mountain range, and couldn't help but wonder, "This is the Nurturing Tree? It looks almost exactly like the trees on that mountain."

Yingcao Wu was not bothered by this. With the tribe's affairs temporarily resolved, she felt much more relaxed and laughed loudly, "If it weren't for this, how could we have hidden it for so many years? When we planted it, we would also deliberately plant some trees around it that looked similar to it in order to confuse the eyes of outsiders."

The bumblebee tribe suffered the most severe losses. Although they have recruited some new members in recent years, the number of bumblebees has not increased much. Some members of the bumblebee tribe have already contracted other battle pets.

Therefore, the bumblebee shaman anxiously asked, "Is this fertility fruit really effective? A pair of true bumblebees in our tribe are currently conceiving and breeding. Could I try it?"

Yingcao Wu glanced at Jiang Ning, and seeing her nod, she reached out and patted the Yushu tree. One of the Yushu tree's branches drooped down, and Yingcao Wu reached out her hand, causing the fruit on the branch to fall off and into Yingcao Wu's hand.
