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

When Jiang Ning returned to his cave, they saw the blue totem on his forehead and sensed Bai Ya's presence.

"Great! Great! That's wonderful!" Mother exclaimed excitedly.

"Little Baiya, you've grown so fast!" Wu deliberately ignored Jiang Ning and went to talk to Baiya.

Baiya whimpered, not really wanting to pay attention to him, but the cave was too small for it to escape, so it could only let him rub its fur.

"You've broken through, we can rest assured now." Qingpan's face was filled with a relieved smile. He walked to Jiang Ning's side and patted her on the shoulder.

“The closer spring gets, the more worried we become about your safety. But it was the shaman’s decision. Fortunately, you broke through before the hunt.” As her mother spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Mother, don't worry, I'm a witch now. Not only do I have the physique of a first-level warrior, but Baiya is also a strange bone beast now, it will protect me."

The mother looked at Jiang Ning with concern, her brows furrowed. "You are not only my child, but also the future Sirius Witch. How can I not worry? Your safety and growth are of great importance to our tribe."

Jiang Ning gently patted her mother's shoulder. "Mother, I know you're worried about me, but I'm all grown up now. I'll do my own thing. Even if you don't believe me, don't you trust the shaman's judgment?"

Mother wiped her eyes, smiled, and nodded. "Yes, you're right. You're the future Sirius Witch! You can definitely do it!"

That night, Jiang Ning sat quietly on her bed, meditating. White energy continuously flowed into her from the outside world. This energy was compressed and purified by the beast fang she wore on her chest, eventually entering her body like a gentle stream. She could clearly feel that warm current constantly nourishing her body.

Since her breakthrough, the beast tooth is no longer only active during meditation, but is absorbing nutrients at all times.

The beast tooth, that gift from the Ancestral Witch, has now become an important bridge for the exchange of energy between her body and the outside world. Like a silent guardian, it quietly absorbs and transforms energy, eventually merging into her body.

Jiang Ning felt that her body had undergone a qualitative change. Originally, her body was like a wooden bucket filled with water, with limited capacity.

After the breakthrough, the wooden barrel transformed into a constantly replenishing lake, with energy purified by the beast's teeth dripping and flowing in like water droplets, subtly nourishing her body.

This change both surprised and delighted her. Every cell in her body seemed to be pulsating and growing with vitality. She began to look forward to mastering it and using it for her own benefit.

But at the same time, she also knows that she still has a long way to go. The breakthrough is just the beginning; the real challenges are just beginning.

Once the ice on the Tianlang River had mostly melted, the tribespeople emerged from their caves to begin their busy new year.

A while ago, in early spring, the wild animals had endured a long period of hunger due to the cold winter.

Therefore, early spring is the time when wild animals are at their fiercest and most dangerous.

This special day is not fixed. After observing it for several years, Jiang Ning discovered that it always seemed to occur after the ice on the Tianlang River had melted.

Therefore, she had always believed that this day was carefully chosen by the shaman and the chief to herald the start of the new year.

However, it wasn't until she inherited the shaman's legacy that she understood the deeper meaning behind it.

In the vast and boundless night sky, two stars stand out, the brightest stars beside the moon. Like pearls in the night sky, they shimmer with captivating light. Like faithful companions to the moon, they together illuminate this silent night.

When these two stars converge into one, it heralds the arrival of autumn. And when they separate, it signifies the coming of spring.

The coming together and parting of these two stars is like nature's clock, silently reminding people of the changing seasons.

That night, while practicing celestial observation, Jiang Ning noticed that the two stars were about to completely separate. Sure enough, the next day, the tribe's horns, which had been silent for a long time, sounded again, announcing the end of winter and the arrival of spring.

Jiang Ning walked out of the cave and looked at the Tianlang River in the distance. There were still some broken ice floating on the surface of the river, but the mountains had already turned green.

Upon arriving at the square, a bustling scene greeted them; the pheasants had already tidied up the tribe's communal kitchen and were starting to prepare food.

Nearby, some tribesmen were inspecting their weapons. During the winter when they had nothing to do, the restless tribesmen had been sharpening many tools.

The tribe's weapons consist of stone or bone knives, spears, bows and arrows. When hunting, they run and leap through the mountains and forests, chasing their prey, and it is extremely easy for them to lose things. Therefore, the tribe members prepare extra tools and weapons in their spare time so that they can capture prey more easily when hunting.

Jiang Ning's weapons were two antler knives made from forest deer antlers. Forest deer antlers are already an extremely hard material, not to mention that this was a forest deer of the level of a strange bone beast. Its antlers had undergone a long period of growth and tempering, making the antler knives extremely sharp.

Jiang Ning made animal hide clothing with these two deer antler knives with ease. No matter what kind of wild animal hide it was, it was no match for these two deer antler knives.

Wu was extremely envious and determined to hunt down a forest deer himself to make a bone knife.

The antler knife wasn't very long, about the length of Jiang Ning's arm. Qingpan used the growth structure of the antlers, making full use of their unique shape and texture, to sharpen them to be sharp and hard.

Jiang Ning recently made a belt for her antler knife to securely fasten it to her waist. This belt is woven from resilient vines and is very sturdy and durable.

The forehead band was made from animal hide, its shape and size perfectly concealing the totem on her forehead. The people here revere strength and choose beautiful feathers or bones from their prey as ornaments to demonstrate their bravery and hunting prowess, so her forehead band wasn't particularly striking.

When it's time for the sacrificial ceremony, the tribespeople dress up in their finest animal skins and wear bone ornaments, making it look like they've entered a zoo.

Nearby, tribespeople were inspecting their farming tools. Spring was approaching, and not only was hunting about to begin, but spring sowing was also crucial. Jiang Ning had used her magical powers to examine the seeds preserved by the tribe. Through the intuition of her magical powers, she confirmed that these seeds were all well-preserved and should germinate successfully.

That winter, Jiang Ning also carefully explained some planting techniques to her tribesmen, including how to till the land, how to sow seeds, and how to provide trellises for yams—all of which she had learned from the system. She was also going out with the hunting team, so she could only give these instructions in advance.
