The fusion of the fire seed required time to get used to it, to fully absorb the energy that was not fully absorbed. Hence, in the next two days, the tribe was much quieter. Other than the warriors on patrol duty, everyone else stayed in their own houses to continue the fusion process.
Shao Xuan did not know how much the others had changed, but he knew his own and Old Ke's changes.
These two days, Old Ke seemed to have nowhere to vent his energy. He could spend the whole night in the stone house, and the next day, he would cook meat soup and roast beast legs.
In the past, Old Ke had to use crutches to move around, and Caesar had to carry him if he wanted to walk further. Now, Old Ke threw away his crutches and jumped around the house, jumping around energetically.
Shao Xuan was worried that Old Ke would get tired from jumping around, but Old Ke enjoyed it.
"This is really good, don't you believe me? If you don't believe me, I'll show you every day! "
"You look much more energetic now, you look radiant." Shao Xuan smiled.
Shao Xuan was not trying to flatter him. Old Ke used to have more white hair, but now he had more black hair, and only a small part of his hair was white. If he took good care of his hair, Shao Xuan was not sure if his hair would turn completely black one day.
The smile on Old Ke's face started to pile up. After the fusion of the fire seed, Old Ke had changed a lot. In the past, Old Ke's health was not good. He had lost a leg while hunting, and later, he made a living by making stone tools. His life was not good, and he was sick. Although Shao Xuan had been collecting herbs for him to recover, it was not as obvious as the fusion of the fire seed. The others did not change as much as Old Ke.
No matter what, a good change was always gratifying.
After breakfast, Shao Xuan went out and bumped into Duo Kang and the others.
Duo Kang and Guang Yi were talking about totemic patterns.
"I still have a lot of colored mud. I didn't expect that after the complete fusion of the fire seed, I wouldn't need to use it at all. In the future, I won't need to use it when I hunt." Although there was one less problem, Duo Kang still couldn't get used to it. He packed his things and prepared for the hunt the day after tomorrow. He kept feeling like something was missing. Tsk, but they had to get used to it. Although the totem runes were not as bright as before, they knew that these runes were the most suitable for hunting among the three runes.
Before Guang Yi could say anything, Duo Kang continued, "Actually, after a while, it's pretty good. I heard that this entire forest is ours. In the future, we won't have to worry about intruding into other people's territory. We can hunt freely, hahaha! "
Guang Yi shook his head, ignoring the overly excited Duo Kang. He clasped his hands behind his back and planned to find someone else to spar with. He hadn't moved for two days, his hands were itchy. They had to wait until the day after tomorrow to go hunting.
Shao Xuan walked around to see how everyone was adapting.
Without the fire seed, the people of the old haunt felt a bit strange. They gazed at the fire pit without any light from afar with a disappointed and frustrated expression. They felt that without the fire seed, it was as if they had lost their roots.
But in order to walk towards a brighter future, this change had to be made. Plus, 'people' were the foundation of the tribe. As long as the people were there, the hearts were there. Everything was there, no matter where they lived in the future.
After walking for a while, Shao Xuan walked towards the fields.
When they came back from the other side of the sea, they brought back many seeds. They were all good seeds given to them by Ji Ju.
In the past, Shao Xuan always thought that they only ate normal food. Later, he found out that many tribes, especially the bigger ones, had some precious seeds. However, they protected them very tightly, as if they were afraid that others would find out. Even if they traded, they rarely took them out. Most of the seeds that the trading teams brought back were normal seeds. The food they grew was basically for the people in the tribe who hadn't awakened their totemic power.
But now, the seeds they brought back were different.
The ones in charge of planting were still Qi Qi and the others. They were familiar with it. The people in charge of planting also learned from them. In the future, the tribe's fields would definitely expand. If they didn't learn quickly, they wouldn't have enough manpower.
Seeing Shao Xuan, Qi Qi hurried over and bowed respectfully. She respected Shao Xuan from the bottom of her heart. Without Shao Xuan, they wouldn't have been able to come to the old haunt.
"Grand Elder!"
"Grand Elder!"
The others hurried over.
In the past, Shao Xuan was the only Elder. Now, he was the Grand Elder.
Although he was still the only elder, it wouldn't be long before there would be more elders in the tribe.
The two shamans had already discussed that after training Gui Ze, they would step down. After all, there would always be conflicts between the two shamans. Not to mention their views, they would often quarrel over how they addressed each other.
Sometimes, when they heard people call them 'shaman', they would respond and misunderstand each other. The old lady wanted the old man to change the way he addressed her. The male shaman on the other side of the sea was called Wu. She wanted the old man to just call her 'Wu'. Unfortunately, the old man refused.
Why should he change the way he addressed her? It's a name passed down from our ancestors. Why did he have to learn from the slave masters? He wouldn't change it!
The old lady was so angry that she almost hit him with her cane.
Other than these small conflicts, they felt that at their age, they were lucky to be able to live for a few more years with the fire seed fusion. It was time for them to step down. It was time for the young people to take up the mantle. The two of them would step down as Elders.
Ever since the fire seed fusion, Gui Ze had inherited the power of inheritance and was valued by the old lady. Perhaps it was because he had been learning from the shamans for a long time, or because he was talented. It was rare for the two shamans to have the same attitude in training their successors. Sometimes, they would disagree and quarrel. So now, Gui Ze was running between the two sides. Today, he would learn from the old man, and tomorrow, he would go to the old lady.
The pharmacy was handed over to other people. Shao Xuan also went to help when he had time. He taught the new apprentices in the pharmacy. The alligator snapping turtle grew bigger. It ate and slept every day. Although it ate medicinal waste, it grew well. Shao Xuan wanted to pry the turtle shell off and make it into armor.
As for the Chiefs, the two Chiefs didn't step down for the time being. However, they also said that when the new Chiefs came out, they would step down and become Elders like the shamans. They would only participate in the discussion of the tribe's important matters and wouldn't care about anything else.
The new leader would be chosen from the three team leaders. That was why Duo Kang, Gui He, and Ta were doing their best to perform. The reason why Duo Kang was looking forward to the hunt was because he wanted to show his strength as soon as possible.
Although there would be four more Elders soon, Shao Xuan's special position was still unsurpassed. So, the Grand Elder was chosen. He was also the only Elder who could control six bone ornaments. The other Elders didn't have any ornaments. This was different from the past.
Even if Shao Xuan took out the six ornaments to share, the others wouldn't want them. They couldn't light up the ornaments before and felt that they didn't have the right to wear them.
No one wanted to challenge the Grand Elder's position. So now, when the people in the tribe saw Shao Xuan, they would call him 'Grand Elder'.
Shao Xuan looked at the situation in the field. "How much did we plant?"
"We planted everything suitable for this season." Qi Qi brought Shao Xuan around the field and told him about the results.
Qi Qi went to the shamans to collect the seeds. The two shamans divided the work. The old man was in charge of the seeds and the old woman was in charge of the salt. They brought a lot of seeds when they came. When the Gui Ze took over, the two shamans would give the seeds to the Gui Ze for safekeeping.
At first, the shamans thought that Shao Xuan was the one who got the seeds, so Shao Xuan should be the one keeping the seeds. However, Shao Xuan would go hunting with the hunting team. Even if he wasn't hunting, he wouldn't sit in the house all day waiting for people to find him.
Other than the people working in the fields, there were also many people working in the animal pen. The two teams often gathered to exchange their experiences. When Shao Xuan went over, the person who took care of the duck shed was still regretting that he didn't bring the green ducks over.
Shao Xuan was about to check on the wild boars that he had caught during the hunt a few days ago. Shao Xuan heard someone calling him and looked over. It was the two chiefs and the three team leaders. Were the five of them gathered together to discuss something?
"What are you going to do?" Shao Xuan walked over and asked.
Ao didn't say anything. He just tilted his head slightly in one direction. Shao Xuan understood. That direction was where the core seed was placed.
The core seed was a secret in the tribe. Even the metal objects they brought back were mostly put aside. Duo Kang even played with stone axes to his heart's content. He always thought that stones were too easy to break. How could he hunt? But ever since he saw Shao Xuan use stone tools, Duo Kang's impression changed. When he came here, he understood the wonders of stone tools better.
Shao Xuan didn't ask Tuo and Lei to bring the core seed back to hide it.
"Come, let's go take a look." Ao called Shao Xuan. The six of them walked over.
Because the core seed was too dangerous, it was placed far from the tribe. It would take some time to get there.
On the way, Ao thought for a moment and asked, "Xuan, do you feel that when you eat the Thousand Grain Gold, the fire seed's power in your body fuses faster?"
Ao ate the Thousand Grain Gold later than the others, but because of this, the feeling was even clearer.
Shao Xuan really didn't feel it. Perhaps he was different from the others. The shamaness once said that Shao Xuan was different from the others, whether it was his awakening or the appearance of his totemic patterns. So what the others felt, Shao Xuan might not be able to.
He looked at the others. Zheng Luo, Duo Kang, Ta and the others all agreed.
Shao Xuan thought back to Ji Ju's words. "That should be it. Ji Ju once said that the Thousand Grain Gold would grow in the most suitable direction. Perhaps because we need this change, it will grow in this direction. It comes from the same plant as the Thousand Grain Gold in Ji Ju's place. But its growth is very different because it grows in Yanjiao land. "
"Thousand Grain Gold, what a magical thing." Ao sighed. They didn't have to envy the other tribes for their precious crops. Their tribe had more treasures, especially the Thousand Grain Gold. It was the treasure of their tribe. They wouldn't share it with others. Even if they offered more in exchange, they wouldn't give it to them!
