After drifting on the ocean current for more than ten days, although I couldn't see the seashore, I could still see the fireworks filling the air.
Where do the fireworks come from? They come from boiling salt.
Here we are! Finally home.
Just turn the boat around and row.
This time we were right. There were ships from the Haifan tribe and a guard team on the coast.
The charlatan is back.
The salt-boiling team is still in the north, so there is no problem of leakage, which is good.
This time, Ma Yue brought back two copper kitchen knives, two copper axes, two copper hammers, a huge copper shield, and more than twenty copper plowshares (the production capacity of smelting copper was too limited).
"Hai Rui, this is a friendly tribe I met on the northern coast. The copper was exchanged with their Qiu Hai tribe..." Ma Yue introduced Dhaka and his group to Hai Rui. In the future, Hai Rui would have to take over such maritime trade.
Hai Rui’s language skills are also good, so I guess communication with Dhaka will be much smoother.
"Chair, these are the fishermen I recruited along the northern coast. They're very skilled at fishing and rowing, and they're valuable personnel. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, charlatan, our navy just needs such talents." The charlatan said that they were talents, so of course the chairs had to pay attention to them.
"Heipi, these axes and hammers are very important manufacturing tools. Your manufacturing team should keep them."
"And these copper plowshares, the specifications are similar to our stone plowshares, and they are very sharp and durable..."
Ma Yue handed the copperware to Hei Pi. He even gave Hei Pi a copper kitchen knife. As for making tools, a small kitchen knife has many uses.
For the time being, there are still too few bronze artifacts, but in the future, through exchange, there will be more and more.
"Three sacrifices, such a copper plow shovel, such a small pottery jar, five jars of coarse salt in exchange for one, you follow Dhaka to trade." Dhaka would not feel at ease unless he took out the coarse salt.
"Okay! I'll take Dhaka to our salt storage cellar and let him see that our Haifan tribe is powerful, haha!" The third priest quickly understood what Ma Yue meant.
Only if there are sufficient salt reserves will people boldly continue to produce copper plowshares in exchange.
"This copper plow shovel is very hard. I think it will not break easily." The third priest was very fond of the newly acquired copper plow shovel. Good things are good things, right? With this thing, a lot of stone plow shovels can be saved, and a lot of manpower and material resources for grinding stone plow shovels can be saved.
"I estimate that efficiency will also be greatly improved. The emergence of the Three Sacrificial Priests and bronze tools will inevitably lead to a significant increase in productivity. I believe that the efficiency of a wildebeest plow will at least exceed that of three able-bodied men."
Efficiency is determined by a combination of factors. Stone plowshares themselves are irregular, with varying sizes. Being able to grind them is a good thing, as using a horse to pull a plow would be difficult. Copper plowshares have nearly identical specifications and are stronger and sharper. It would be unreasonable if efficiency didn't improve.
Dhaka exchanged for enough coarse salt, and after seeing how much coarse salt the Haifan tribe had prepared, he felt more at ease.
As Dhaka followed Hai Rui to see more good things from the Haifan tribe, such as salted radish, potatoes, fried eggs with garlic sprouts, green onions, garlic... Dhaka felt that the psychological advantage of his tribe owning the Stone City was soon gone.
Dhaka went out to sea with Hai Rui and also went to Poseidon City to see it for himself.
When Dhaka saw the Poseidon City, which was bigger than his own Stone City, he felt a sense of inferiority.
Ma Yue had only been away for a few months when he returned, but the high priest had died. He had originally planned to take the high priest to the warm Haifan tribe to retire, but less than two weeks after arriving, the high priest passed away.
You are not even fifty years old. Is that old?
In this primitive world, he was truly old. Nutrition and medical care were very poor in this era. If Ma Yue hadn't traveled through time and space, and life had gotten better and better, the high priest would have died long ago.
The high priest couldn't practice, and couldn't enjoy the benefits of the warrior's late stage of cultivation and super high immunity...birth, old age, sickness and death. Ma Yue was a little upset. After traveling to this primitive world, a person he was very familiar and close to died.
Wangcai's appearance made Ma Yue feel much better. Unfortunately, the other two cave hyenas that Ma Yue had raised died during the hunt.
Wangcai was very excited as he hadn't seen Ma Yue for a long time. He enjoyed Ma Yue's spiritual care again and fell asleep happily.
“You’re awesome!”
"Of course I'm awesome, hehe!"
"I mean, you can actually fly on the sea, it's amazing." Ma Yue stepped on the waves miraculously, and Lei Qing was surprised. I am also a cultivator with the cultivation level of a martial artist, why can't I do it?
(Due to the miracle of Ma Yue walking on the waves, no one was worried about his safety. What was there to worry about for a god who could walk on the sea? Where could he not go?)
"This is my comprehension of the artistic conception of water. Artistic conception is very important to cultivators, just like my comprehension of the artistic conception of wind..." Ma Yue and Lei Qing roughly explained the importance of artistic conception.
Lei Qing has already started practicing combat skills, but his skills like 'Wind Steps' and 'Clear Wind Spear' are still superficial, and he has not yet grasped the artistic conception.
The comprehension of artistic conception sometimes requires opportunity. Otherwise, why are those who are masters of artistic conception considered awesome? Without the comprehension of artistic conception, one can only be considered an ordinary cultivator.
"I will try my best."
Understanding artistic conception isn't something you can achieve simply through hard work. However, Ma Yue didn't discourage Lei Qing's enthusiasm. Is hard work always a good thing?
Lei Qing was getting younger and younger as she aged; this was the advantage of being an immortal cultivator. She was in her thirties, yet she looked like a teenage girl. The higher her cultivation, the better her spiritual energy nourished her body, and the more energetic her body functions became.
If one could truly cultivate to the Martial King realm, their lifespan would double, which would... Of course, it depends on how old they are when they advance to the Martial King realm. If one achieves this before the age of fifty, they will appear much younger. If one is too old, their appearance will not appear much younger after they achieve this.
When it comes to cultivating immortality, youth is the key. The older you get, the less potential you have.
Ma Yue has been in this world for more than ten years. He is about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He is still young and has great potential.
Most importantly, Ma Yue now possessed a hidden water spiritual root, which would greatly increase his cultivation speed. Perhaps, before he turned fifty, he could truly reach the Martial King realm?
Why not? I already have the power of faith and hidden spiritual roots, two super powers. The opportunity is so good, why can't I do it?
With the arrival of spring plowing, more than twenty copper plows and shovels have demonstrated their immense power, significantly outperforming the work of six able-bodied men. Hei Pi confidently stated that there is still room for improvement and is currently working on further modifications to the plows themselves.
That’s right, plowing the land doesn’t just rely on the plow and shovel. The plow truck as a whole also has great room for improvement.
The copper plow shovel was so effective that the third priest's old face was full of smiles. If all the plow shovels of the Haifan tribe were replaced with copper ones, that thing... It's only ten bowls of coarse salt, it's worth it, it's a great value!
In fact, so much coarse salt is not really needed. Dhaka thinks the salted dried radish, potatoes, onions, garlic... of the Hai tribe are all good. As for how to exchange them, Hai Rui needs to go to the Qiuhai tribe and have a personal talk with the stingy chief there.
