That's what they said, but the great witch doctor still couldn't accept it.

He was born in Jiangshui, a place where clans bordered each other and the land was rich and prosperous.

First-tier orcs are mostly servants of the clans they submit to, and have no status whatsoever.

There's also Guiyulin.

What is that place?

It was a remote and impoverished place, far from any human settlement. I heard that they still lived in caves, wore animal skins, and bartered, and even their currency was not in circulation.

The great witch doctor could hardly be happy at the thought that the cub's mother tribe was such a bunch of country bumpkins.

"Father!"

The great healer looked up and saw his daughter walking towards him.

"How did you get here?" The great witch doctor asked, worried that she might be tired. "It's so hot. Aren't you afraid of getting heatstroke?"

"It's not that delicate."

The little girl just turned ten years old this year, a time when she's very active and energetic.

"Mother said the Night Bird Clan has come, and they brought a lot of novel trinkets. I was just thinking of going to see them. Father, would you like to come along?"

The great witch doctor looked at his daughter, and the gloom he had just felt vanished.

"it is good."

......

The Beast World continent is divided into nine provinces.

Jiangshui is located in Yingzhou. It is not a wealthy place, but it has evolved from cave dwellings to wooden houses with mortise and tenon structures.

As clans intermarried, they gradually came together to form small cities. They also used artificial moats and city walls to increase defenses. The city streets were crisscrossed, and small merchants and vendors sold their wares on horseback, making it a very lively place.

Of course, there is no concept of shops nowadays. The Night Bird Clan travels between cities periodically, so this time, their arrival attracted many clan members to come and make purchases.

"Father, it's just ahead."

The little girl looked around happily.

The great witch doctor, fearing she would get lost, quickly followed her.

Why are there so many people today?

Not to mention the females, there are many males as well.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many people from the Night Bird Clan who come to sell people.

The great witch doctor followed his daughter to the gathering place and found that the Nightbirds' procession was lined up along the street, surrounded by people.

The males and females were on opposite sides, with the male vendors on the side speaking loudly and shouting enthusiastically.

"Ropes are for tethering horses; they're stronger than vines."

"This net is more convenient than a trap. Once the prey comes in, you can just pull it up and hoist it up."

The great witch doctor's interest was piqued.

Everything else is fine, but that winnowing basket is perfect for drying herbs.

A cooling mat is also good; it's icy and smooth, and it must be comfortable to sleep on.

He couldn't help but touch it with his hand.

The items woven from fine bamboo are exquisite, and each one is very practical.

"Father!"

The little girl waved to the great witch doctor.

"Come and see this!"

The great shaman put down the bamboo mat and went to his daughter's side.

There are more species on the female side.

“Father, look, these are straw sandals.”

Straw sandals woven from hemp rope are much cooler to wear in the summer than deerskin boots.

There are also straw hats.

Wearing it on your head can protect you from wind and rain, and also provide sun protection.

There were also grasshoppers and toads made of straw; the little females loved every single one of these little trinkets.

"Father, I want them all."

I never imagined that such fine bamboo strips could be woven into so many novel things, and there are also straw-woven items, each one of which is very practical.

The great witch doctor pulled out a bag of sea coins.

"I'll take them all."

The vendor hesitated to accept the heavy weight of the coins and quickly pushed them back.

"Witch Doctor, I'm so sorry, this batch of goods is all sold out. If you want more, you can pay one sea coin first, and I'll deliver it to you when it arrives."

"Sold out? So fast!"

The vendor wiped his sweat, looking embarrassed; he hadn't expected to sell out so quickly.

The little girl's eyes reddened; she couldn't bear to put the grasshopper down.

The great witch doctor felt sorry for his daughter: "How long will it take to pay the sea coins?"

"The fifth batch of goods will be delivered in two months. We've already placed four orders today."

Four batches!

The great witch doctor looked on in disbelief.

"Are there four batches from Jiangshui or four batches from Yingzhou?"

The vendor said, "It's only in Jiangshui. If you include the entire Yingzhou, it's probably more than that."

hiss--

"But judging from your accent, you're not from Jiangshui either."

The vendor smiled sheepishly and said, "We're just country folk, from far away from here."

"where?"

“From Yuanzhou.”

“That’s indeed very far,” the great witch doctor asked. “What made you decide to bring ginger water?”

“Our owl clan is taken care of by the Jiang Shuiqi clan, so we naturally prioritize sending the best goods here, even if it’s a bit far away.”

The great witch doctor nodded.

Owls belong to the night bird clan and are cared for by the Jiang Shuiqi clan.

"Have you ever thought about expanding your business? You can't keep supplying goods like this. If someone figures out your weaving technique, your goods won't be in demand anymore. Why don't you sell this technique to my Qi family first, supply the goods, and then split the profits? What do you think?"

The vendor smiled wryly: "I don't understand what the witch doctor is saying. How about this, I'll go ask our clan chief?"

“Very well, if your clan leader agrees, I will go and see him in person.”

After the high priest finished speaking, he decided to go back and wait for news.

Everyone says that the Jiang family is good at business, with businesses all over the country and they are very successful. But only they know the bitterness in their hearts.

The Jiangshuiqi clan mainly relied on dragon silk woven by mermaids for survival.

However, the merfolk lineage dwindled, and after the older generation passed away, Qi Yue was the only remaining member of the Qi clan's merfolk bloodline.

The dragon silk woven by one person alone could not support the entire clan. Over the years, their businesses had spread far and wide, but only brought in small profits, which could not support the clan's huge expenses.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen the path of arranged marriage.

But things are different now.

The great witch doctor thought of the owl clan's weaving skills and a glimmer of hope rekindled.

This industry may not be long-term, but the sea currency it generates is enough to support the Qi family for several years. It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

Here.

Tian Jiang was somewhat flattered when he received the message.

"Is it really Qi?"

The vendor nodded: "It's true, it was said by the great witch doctor Qi himself."

"That can't be wrong."

Upon hearing this, Tian Jiang paced back and forth excitedly.

I thought that after that bastard forcibly made a contract with his master, there was no hope of cooperating with the Qi clan.

He never expected to be favored by the Qi family again; this was something he never would have imagined.

"If the Qi family can cooperate, then we won't have to sell only in Yingzhou."

Their owl clan is of lowly status, and they would definitely be driven away by the locals if they tried to buy and sell. They can only sell in Yingzhou with the help of the night bird clan. If they are protected by the Qi clan, then they will not be limited to Yingzhou.

"The great shaman also said that if the chieftain agrees, he will come over in person."

"personally!"

What merit does the owl possess to warrant the great witch doctor's personal visit?

However, thinking of the Snow Weasel clan, he nodded.

“That’s fine too. After all, we can’t make the decision on this matter. Go and bring the Great Witch Doctor over in person. I’ll introduce him to the Snow Weasel Clan.”

"Yes, patriarch."
