Chapter 121 Transaction and Crystallization of Belief
The first thing they saw was the Yanhuang tribesmen. Everyone was holding two long pieces of wood in their hands, and seemed to be holding food in the clay pot.
"What are those?"
The five people who had never seen chopsticks couldn't help but look surprised.
Hearing this, Shitou on the side immediately happily introduced, "These are called chopsticks. They are something related to the great god of our tribe. They are specially used to pick up food."
Speaking of chopsticks and spoons, they were not used to them at first, but after using them for a long time, they realized that these things are really useful.
With this thing, not only do you not have to worry about the food being too hot, but it is also very clean.
Hearing that it was something related to God, Arm Five looked a little surprised, and then became cautious.
After all, nothing related to God is simple.
Thinking this way, they also attach great importance to this thing called chopsticks.
The five people couldn't help but come closer, and the tribesmen who were cooking food looked at them curiously.
After observing carefully for a while, the five people in Arms became more and more surprised. Seeing these people using chopsticks to pick up food, they felt that it looked a little better, and it was less barbaric than grabbing food with their hands.
Recalling that they are a large tribe of ten thousand people, and they are still grabbing food with their hands, compared with the tribe in front of them who use chopsticks to pick things up...
Thinking this in their hearts, they all felt a little ashamed. As a large tribe of ten thousand people, they could not compare to a small tribe of a thousand people?
Shitou saw their appearance from the side, his back and head straightened.
After calming down his ups and downs, and thinking calmly, he also discovered this thing called chopsticks, which would greatly improve the image of their tribe.
Thinking this way, a friendly smile appeared on his face, and he humbly asked the stone next to him, "Can your tribe teach us this thing called chopsticks?"
"I think your tribe's chopsticks are very good and worth learning from our tribe."
As soon as these words came out, a look of surprise flashed across Shitou's face, and the faces of Green Spot and several young people showed astonishment, as if they couldn't believe it.
"Master Ji, why?" Green Spot felt a little embarrassed, and glanced at Shitou with a red face, feeling a little unwilling in his heart.
"Yeah, I don't think chopsticks are good either. It's a waste of time. It's more convenient to grab them with your hands." Dashu said with dodge in his eyes, against his will.
Da Zhuang was also opening his mouth, preparing to say something. Judging from his expression, it was obvious that he had the same answer.
Shitou on the side couldn't help but feel a little angry when he heard this.
But before he could say anything, someone spoke up before him.
He glanced at the three impulsive and face-saving young tribesmen, and shook his head helplessly.
Yan also smiled bitterly.
But they also know that young people are like this, and they are not too angry that they contradict themselves.
Zhu Kaikai educated him, "Don't act out of emotion. This matter is beneficial to the development of the tribe."
"Also, do you really think so?"
When he said the last words, he glanced at the three of them seriously, making them lower their heads unconsciously, feeling a little ashamed.
They really didn't think so, and they thought it was a good thing, but they just couldn't save their face.
Shitou looked relieved and glanced at the three of them proudly, feeling relieved from the bad breath in his chest.
However, when Isei's eyes looked at him, he remembered the previous problem and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, because it was obviously not something he could make the decision on.
Just when he was about to say something to evade, the priest happened to come from a distance, so he shut up and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The priest came just in time.
Su Yun walked over slowly from a distance with a smile on his face.
Not long after these five people entered the tribe, he felt their presence. The aura of extraordinary power was too obvious.
He also heard what those people said just now, and was a little surprised by the quality of this third-level divine warrior.
Chopsticks are obviously something that can be made just by looking at them. It's really surprising that he can even ask about them.
Arm's eyes narrowed, and he turned around to see an old man walking over. Not only did he not relax, his expression became more solemn.
With his beast-like intuition, he always felt that this person was dangerous.
I am a level three divine warrior, this old man...
His fear of this tribe became even deeper. Sure enough, a tribe with those special things would not be simple.
"Priest!" Shitou shouted respectfully.
"It turns out to be a priest." Zuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was still afraid that just any clan member could give him that feeling. If that really happened, it would be terrible.
As the people closest to God, priests are definitely among the top in the tribe regardless of their actual combat prowess.
Su Yun walked up to the five people, looked at the middle-aged man at the head, smiled slightly and said, "I am the priest of the Yanhuang tribe. I heard what you just said, and I agree with it."
Anyway, it’s useless to disagree. As long as you take a look, you can learn chopsticks sooner or later. Moreover, this is also a subtle intrusion of cultural spirit. Learning it is not necessarily a good thing.
Just like China in the real world, some surrounding countries learned some things in ancient times. After bringing them back, their customs and other things were assimilated to a serious degree, and they had very few things of their own.
From this perspective, it was really not a good thing, so he simply agreed.
The eyes of the five people in the Arms flashed with surprise. They felt that if it were them, they would never let other tribes learn from it so easily.
Just because they couldn't do it, they couldn't help but secretly admire the mind of the priest in front of them.
"Priest Yanhuang, thank you!" Zhu thanked you sincerely, "But for the sake of the friendship between our two tribes, we cannot ask for your things in vain."
As a large tribe of ten thousand people, they still need to have some respect, not to mention that as traveling merchants, they prefer trading.
"We will exchange some faith crystals for you."
Arm said in a deep voice.
"Crystal of faith?" Su Yun was a little surprised.
I heard an unfamiliar term.
When the five people heard the priest's confused voice, they remembered that the crystallization of faith was only available to large tribes, and small tribes did not have such a thing.
"Let me tell you!" Green Spot said happily first, "The crystal of faith is something that can only be condensed by the gods of a large tribe with tens of thousands of people. It is used by large tribes like us to trade with each other!"
After saying that, he glanced at the stone vaguely, feeling that he had regained some sense of pride.
Several young people became energetic again, making Shi Shi's teeth itch.
When Su Yun heard this, his face looked thoughtful.
"Is faith crystallized..."
In just one paragraph, he sorted out a lot of information.
If the guess is correct, the faith crystal must be a third-level god who has the ability to produce it, or even something related to the power of faith.
And since it can be used as currency, there must be something special about it that makes primitive people feel that they can barter without losing money, and the use must be very important.
Otherwise, if you want to use paper or a piece of data as money like modern times, it would be a fool's errand.
Thinking of this, he asked, "The faith crystal you are talking about must have some special use, right?"
Green Spot, who was about to continue talking proudly, and several other people were a little surprised when they heard this.
Unexpectedly, the priest realized the key so quickly.
"You are right, it is indeed the case," Ji said in praise.
"The crystal of faith can be absorbed by the divine warrior and increase the power within the body!"
Su Yun understood and said secretly, "It turns out to be a cultivation resource. No wonder it can be used as a currency for transactions by those large tribes with tens of thousands of people."
"Presumably as long as they know the purpose of this thing, no tribe will refuse it."
A tribe is composed of gods and believers. As the highest combat power, gods are mysterious and noble, so they will not take action easily.
When encountering those small things, believers need to take action themselves. At this time, the strength of the believers is the key, and the crystallization of faith is an important resource.
Just like his own tribe, if the believers were strong enough, he would have been ordered to take over the ice tribe long ago, and there would be no problem of being unable to control it.
Just as he was thinking, Zhi suddenly took out a plush animal skin from the storage bag on his waist.
"This is the item your tribe traded with us last time."
The animal skin was opened, and a few dry, oval-shaped seeds half the size of a fingernail emerged.
"Seed bag?" Su Yun took out the seeds from the animal skin held in his arm.
"That's right." Ji nodded.
After saying that, he took out some things from the storage bag.
Something about the size of ten pigeon eggs, milky white like crystal, with a faint trace of white gas flowing, appeared on his hand.
"These ten are first-level faith crystals."
"This amount is basically enough for a first-level divine warrior to be promoted to the first-level peak. If you are lucky and succeed in breaking through, you will be a second-level divine warrior!"
With that said, he handed the spar to Su Yun, saying it was compensation for the chopsticks.
Su Yun was slightly surprised and reached out to take these small crystal stones.
He felt the familiar energy and the power of faith from these ten crystal stones!
I really didn't expect that just ten so-called first-level faith crystals could elevate a first-level divine warrior to the pinnacle.
He even feels that he can absorb the power of faith in it. Although it cannot improve his strength, it is a consumable supply and has a great effect on himself.
For example, when practicing new moves, with the supply of these faith crystals, the progress will definitely be accelerated a lot!
And when it comes to fighting...
Thinking of these effects, Su Yun curled his lips slightly and looked at the five people in front of him with a kind expression, as if looking at little fat sheep.
The five people in the arm were looked at inexplicably, and they felt a little frightened. They always felt that something bad would happen later.
Su Yun said kindly, "I wonder if you want any other tools?"
As he spoke, he pointed to a nearby tribesman who was using a spoon.
Arm Five turned around and noticed that in addition to chopsticks, there was also a spoon of soup.
"This thing is called a spoon."
Their eyes lit up, and they knew just by looking at it that this thing was very practical.
Watching the tribesman blow on the hot soup and then put it into his mouth.
"Okay!" Zhu's eyes lit up and he directly agreed to the deal.
Su Yun smiled slightly again and pointed at another object, "This is called a spatula."
With so many practical and convenient tools, the five people's eyes widened and they were surprised for a long time.
I really didn’t expect that a small tribe would actually have more tools than their large tribe of ten thousand people.
Really enjoy it!
The five people sighed.
Zhu didn't say much. After thinking about it, he took out twenty more first-level faith crystals from his storage bag.
Su Yun glanced at their storage bags as if unintentionally, and then calmly put away the crystals.
Seeing Stone standing nearby, he handed the thing to him to hold.
Shitou collected the things with excitement on his face. He always felt that as soon as the priest came, the form seemed to change, and the priest directly took the lead.
Su Yun ordered a tribesman to bring one of the three items to the traveling merchants of the Vulcan Tribe, and he was so considerate as to have someone teach them how to use it.
Shitou looked at the five people using chopsticks awkwardly, and saw that their fingers were no longer his own. He was a little gloating. He had learned this for a long time, and now that he had someone to accompany him, he felt inexplicably happy.
After almost understanding how to use these three tools, Ji couldn't wait to get to the point.
"Priest Yanhuang, we are here mainly for the porcelain and snowflake salt from last time."
Speaking of this, Arm Five became a little nervous.
These two things were requested by the chief and the priest, and were also the primary purpose of their trip. If they couldn't get them in exchange, it would be hard to explain.
But fortunately, what makes them happy is that this did not happen, because...
"Okay." Su Yun nodded, and said kindly, "How much do you want to exchange, and how many faith crystals can you exchange for?"
Arm Five, who had thought carefully about it on the way here, said without any hesitation after hearing this, "We can use five first-level faith crystals to replace the last porcelain bowl or bowl of salt!"
After saying that, everyone, including Zhan, looked at the priest with some anxiety, fearing that he would refuse.
Su Yun was stunned when he heard this, as if he had heard something exaggerated.
The way he looked at the five people in front of him slowly changed.
People are stupid and have too much money, so come quickly!
This label seemed to be stuck directly on the foreheads of the five people.
Although Su Yun didn't know how difficult it was to obtain the faith crystal, he knew that the value of the two was incomparable.
At least in his eyes, as long as you have money, you can easily buy a truck of bowls or salt in modern times, and the crystallization of faith...
Such a comparison between the two is to convert the quantity.
"Hiss..." Su Yun took a breath of cold air, as if he had seen an entire mountain of faith crystals in front of him.
Just when he was in a daze and startled, the five people across from him felt their hearts skip a beat when they saw his stunned look.
Hearing another gasp, the five people looked at each other to confirm something.
Sure enough, it was a bit too much to get these two precious things so cheaply.
The five people felt helpless and sighed.
They also knew that some lions were opening their mouths. Fortunately, this was just their initial offer, and they just wanted to try their luck.
