Ye Xuan rode on the wind. After more than two hours, he returned to the Snake Tribe from the Rabbit Tribe.
"God!"
"God, you're back!"
Seeing Ye Xuan fly down from the sky, the people of the Snake Tribe couldn't help but exclaim. However, perhaps because they'd seen too many miraculous things about Ye Xuan, they didn't kneel on the ground and worship him like the Rabbit Tribe did.
Ye Xuan waved his hand and released the ten warriors of the Snake Tribe. He then ordered the chief and shamaness of the Snake Tribe to come over, then walked back to his home.
Not long after, footsteps came from outside. Then, the chief and shamaness of the Snake Tribe rushed over.
"God, you're back!" Seeing Ye Xuan sitting on the armchair in his home, the chief and shamaness of the Snake Tribe walked in and paid their respects to him.
"Mm, no need to be so polite. Get up!" Ye Xuan waved his hand and helped the two of them up from the ground. Then, he asked them to sit down. Then, he said, "This time, I went to the Rabbit Tribe for three days. Did anything happen in our tribe?"
"You've been gone for three days, but our tribe is still the same as before. Everyone still has enough food, and no one died or fell sick. Instead, we have more prey." The shamaness hurriedly replied.
After hearing the shamaness' report, Ye Xuan nodded slightly, then said, "This time, I went to the Rabbit Tribe and formed an alliance with their chief and shamaness. In the future, the Rabbit Tribe will be our brother tribe. If they come over, you can't treat them as enemies anymore."
"Alright, God, we will treat them as our brother tribe." The chief and shamaness of the Snake Tribe nodded.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, then said, "That's right, this time, the main reason I went to the Rabbit Tribe was to trade with them for the things they brought. I realized that their things are rather useful to us, so I formed an alliance with them. Moreover, I've already made a deal with them. Prey of the same value will be exchanged for three times the amount of ore."
"Come, I'll take out the ores first, and then I'll teach you how to refine them." With that, Ye Xuan stood up and walked outside with Snake and Shaman. With a wave of his right hand, a large pile of iron and salt ores appeared in the open space of the thatched hut.
"This kind of stone, I call it iron ore. There is a metal called iron in it. If it can be refined, it will become a very hard metal, much harder than the stone tools you use." Ye Xuan pointed at the iron ore and said to the snake and the shaman.
"God, is this iron really much harder than our stone tools?" The Shaman walked up to the iron ore and touched the iron ore that was half the height of a person as he asked curiously.
"Of course!" Ye Xuan nodded, then walked up to the iron ore and stretched out his right palm to slap the stone. With a crack, the entire iron ore was smashed into pieces by Ye Xuan's slap. Then, Ye Xuan picked up a palm-sized iron ore and activated his True Essence. Suddenly, a gust of True Fire appeared in his hand and melted the iron ore. He separated some molten iron and finally turned it into an ordinary iron bar.
"Come, try it. This is an ordinary iron bar that I refined from this iron ore. I didn't use any refining methods. See if you can break it." Ye Xuan first wiped away the high temperature on the iron bar, then casually handed the refined iron bar to the Shaman.
The Shaman took the iron bar from Ye Xuan's hand with both hands. As soon as the iron bar was in his hand, because Ye Xuan had eliminated the high temperature, it was a little cold and heavier than ordinary stone tools. Then, the Shaman first tested it with his hand and found that no matter how much strength he used, the iron bar did not break. He then handed the iron bar to the snake at the side.
As the leader of the Snake Tribe, the snake was also the strongest in the Snake Tribe. He was very strong and could even break a deer's horn. Ordinary stone tools would break. However, the Shaman saw that even though the snake used all his strength and his face turned red, the iron bar in his hand was only bent a little. There was not even a trace of it breaking.
"This, this is really good stuff. God, if our tribe can have this kind of iron, we will be even stronger!" Seeing all this, the Shaman was so excited that his face turned red.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and waved his hand. "Don't be too happy yet. Refining iron is still a little difficult for our tribe. Our tribe is still too weak. But don't worry, when the time comes, I will arrange how to refine iron for you. Alright, come, take a look at this. This is another kind of ore that I brought back from the Rabbit Tribe. I call it salt ore. "
"Salt is a very good thing. Eating it will make your body stronger and you won't get sick easily. With salt, your food will be much more delicious."
The Shaman thought for a moment and asked Ye Xuan, "God, are you talking about the salty and bitter thing that Mu brought back?"
Mu had stayed in the Snake Tribe for a night and brought back some salt collected from the rocks. However, the salt had not been diluted and still had a bitter taste.
However, for the people of the Snake Tribe who had never eaten salt before, it was already a rare seasoning.
"That's right!" Ye Xuan nodded slightly and walked to the side of the salt ore. He patted the salt ore and said, "However, the salt of the Rabbit Tribe isn't pure. It tastes a little bitter, and if you eat too much, you might get poisoned, sick, or even die."
"Ah, how can this be?" Hearing this, the Shaman and the Snake Tribe exclaimed.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and waved his hand. "Don't worry. Since I brought back these salt ores, I naturally have a way to make salt that is delicious and won't get poisoned. Now, go and get your people to bring these salt ores over and crush them. Then, I will teach you how to make real salt. "
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the Shaman and the Snake Tribe didn't doubt him. They hurriedly got the people of the Snake Tribe to come over and carry a few large pieces of salt ores over. Then, they crushed the salt ores with stones.
Actually, Ye Xuan only needed to raise his head to help them with this step. However, he didn't do so. It was still the same old saying. Give a man a fish, not give him a fish. When humans were newly born, it was best to rely on oneself to do many things.
By the time the people of the Snake Tribe had crushed a large piece of salt ore, almost an hour had passed. Then, Ye Xuan got them to pour the crushed salt ore powder into a large wooden bucket that had been prepared. He filled it with water and got people to stir it with wooden sticks.
After the salt in the salt ore stone powder had completely melted into the water, Ye Xuan had someone prepare a wooden bucket. Then, he had someone bring some straw mats made from thin grass and place them on top of the wooden bucket. Then, he slowly poured the bucket of water that had been mixed with salt into the water from the straw mats.
After a while, when the water was completely poured, the grass mats were already covered with ash black slag. As for the bucket, it was naturally filled with filtered salt water.
However, the salt water was still poisonous, so it couldn't be eaten. Ye Xuan got people to prepare another bucket. Then, he picked up some charcoal from the bonfire last night. After crushing the charcoal, he wrapped the charcoal with the straw mats and threw it into the bucket. Then, he got people to stir it again.
Another half an hour later, when the charcoal had reacted with the saltwater in the bucket, and the toxins had been removed, Ye Xuan asked someone to filter the impurities in the saltwater in the bucket again.
At this point, the salt water in the bucket was edible. However, this kind of salt water wasn't good for preservation and consumption. The salt water had to be boiled dry to get real salt.
Of course, they would need a pot to boil the salt. The Snake Tribe did not have one yet. Ye Xuan, who had not planned to get involved, had to refine the iron in a piece of iron ore he had obtained earlier and make a giant iron pot. Only then did the Snake Tribe have a tool to boil the salt.
Another two hours later, the water in the pot was finally boiled dry. Then, a thick pile of green crystals appeared at the bottom of the pot.
"Salt, there's salt here!"
"Ah, the food seems to be more delicious after adding it to the food!"
"Really? Let me try it!"
"Let me try it too!"
"Ah, it's so delicious!"
After a while, night fell. When the salt came out, the people of the Snake Tribe picked up some salt and put it on the food. Suddenly, the people of the Snake Tribe let out a burst of praise.
Ye Xuan could not help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he saw the Snake Tribe members eating their food with salt on their faces. He felt what he had done was worth it.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan thought of something. He pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at the sky and said in a low voice, "In the name of the Heavenly Dao, I found a kind of food that can be used as food for the human race. I named it salt. Salt can be eaten, and it can also prevent humans from getting sick. It will help the human race reproduce.
