Peaceful days are wonderful. At least, Ma Yue doesn't like war. Haifan City itself is quite powerful. Whether it is Leishen City in the core area or Guicheng, Qiuhai City's distant neighbor, neither of them has any intention of attacking the Hai Tribe again.
Things were calmer in Poseidon City. Since the grassland people hadn't returned for a long time, the cultivated land west of Poseidon City had grown larger and larger. To support Poseidon City's radish cultivation, Haifan City even sent over extra deer. As a result, the cultivated land west of Poseidon City now reached as much as two to three thousand acres.
The huge radish harvest resulted in a vast quantity of salted radish, which could be exchanged for a considerable amount of fish skins and large fish meat. Yes, fish are meat, and their food value is significant. As long as there's a point in exchanging, why not?
When it comes to obtaining food from the ocean, the larger coastal tribes of the Ghost Mountain region (including those further north) do a better job than the Sea Tribe. Whether they hunt or forage, they acquire a wealth of large marine fish, something the Sea Tribe envy.
Of course, the larger tribes in the Ghost Mountain region envied the Sea Tribe, which produced a lot of salt. In short, in terms of trade potential, the Sea Tribe and the Ghost Mountain region held the greatest potential. As the saying goes, if you want to develop significantly, you need access to the sea.
It's not that there is no trade in Thunder God City, Sun City, and even in the Seven Hundred Cities occupied by the Purple Tribe, but due to geographical limitations, the volume of trade is not large.
Thanks to the old divine master's help, the Purple Tribe traded with the grassland people, acquiring a large number of donkeys and sheep. This continuously promoted farming and developed animal husbandry. Overall, the trend was upward, although this growth came at the expense of the Purple Tribe's hardship.
The radish harvest is increasing almost every year, but in order to exchange for as many livestock as possible, the exchange must continue, so the food left for the people in the tribe must be reduced.
Even so, Ziya was excited. The Purple Tribe had already exchanged over a thousand donkeys, a truly impressive sum. They'd never been so generous before. Surviving on the grasslands was impossible without large livestock and cavalry.
Trade is trade, and even if they are friendly tribes, they still have to fight when they need to.
The latest to initiate conflict were Poseidon City and Qingfeng City. Yes, both of them now have stone cities. Both are rife with violent and aggressive genes, so war is inevitable.
Just two years after a break, they're back at it again.
"Both sides are equally strong, so it's hard to tell who's going to win." Intelligence chief Xia Wu's analysis report roughly reads this. "After all, everyone has Stone City to rely on. Even if they're defeated, their foundation won't be damaged."
Ma Yue read the intelligence report and really had no interest in the bloody war in Leishen City. What's the point of fighting all the time? Isn't it better to just farm and live a good life?
The news that Huoshi brought back was rather bad. A large-scale salt-boiling movement had finally emerged on the beach of Ghost Town, and the salt from Ghost Town had begun to be sold to the outside world.
The emergence of Ghost City Salt has had the greatest impact on the salt trade of the Hai Tribe. After all, salt is the biggest capital of the Hai Tribe's trade now.
Hey! It's only a matter of time. It's been kept secret for so many years. Just be content. That's all Ma Yue can think.
"Ghost Fish King Tribe?" Ma Yue remembered that when he attacked Ghost City, Huo Sickle attacked the Ghost Fish King Tribe's lair. He didn't expect that they would recover so quickly.
The Ghost Town region boasts numerous good seaports, all of which are naturally occupied by the three major Ghost Town tribes. The Ghost Fish King Tribe possesses the technology to boil salt from seawater, so naturally, they won't easily reveal it to the other two tribes. While they are an alliance externally, internal competition is fierce.
The largest copper mountain in the ghost town area, the Ghost Fish King Tribe is excluded.
"It seems that the ghost town will have to be dry sooner or later. Salt, this thing, is too tempting."
Less than two weeks later, another batch of sea trade ships returned with news that fighting had indeed broken out in Ghost City. It wasn't that the Ghost Luo and Ghost Lin tribes were jointly attacking the Ghost Fish tribe, but rather that the Ghost Luo and Ghost Fish tribes were fighting one-on-one, with the Ghost Lin tribe not participating.
Although the Ghost Fish King's tribe was plundered by the Fire Sickle, it gradually recovered, especially with the emergence of seawater salt, its capital became increasingly abundant.
"Charlatan, there seems to be a decline within the Guiluo King's tribe. It's probably because their chief witch has died." The leader of the returning sea trade fleet was Huoshi.
Dead? Nothing strange. You're not a Martial King. Living for a few dozen years, a hundred at most, is the best. Death, what's so abnormal about that?
"The news over there says that the great witch of King Guiluo's tribe went astray while practicing." Huoshi continued.
Oh, that's possible. The concept of "going astray and becoming possessed" does exist, but here we need to discuss the state of mind of a cultivator. The state of mind is a complex issue. During cultivation, especially during advancement, some of your usual thoughts or desires will unconsciously arise and interfere with you.
Once you become addicted to the illusion of this thing, your mind is most likely to become confused and lead to obsession.
To put it bluntly, it was because of the lack of mental strength. It was said that the willpower of cultivators was strong, and willpower could also be understood as a manifestation of mental strength.
Immortal cultivators have experienced too many things since they were young. In addition, many powerful immortal cultivators are in charge of things. The more things they are in charge of, the heavier their minds become. Such a state of mind is not suitable for cultivation and advancement.
The Great Shaman of Guiluo King is indeed said to be advancing, even if it's only a small advancement from the mid-level mid-level (intermediate martial artist) to the mid-level high-level (late martial artist). It's still an advancement, isn't it? Whether he has truly gone astray or not, that's what the rumors say, so take it as a guess.
The Guiluo King Tribe had many divine cultivators, but only one Great Shaman. The rest were basically small shamans of lower rank, with the highest level of cultivation being comparable to that of a late-stage warrior. With everyone's cultivation levels being similar, it was indeed very difficult to elect a Great Shaman.
We've said that in the Ghost Mountain region, the individual strength of a Great Shaman is crucial. Why didn't the Ghost Fish King decline after the Sea Tribe swept through its lair? It's because the Ghost Fish King's Great Shaman is still around.
Now that the Guiluo King Tribe's Great Shaman was gone, their power had been severely weakened. The Guiyu King Tribe, having been stripped of their shares in the Copper Mountain, was unwilling to accept this, and so...
"Spirit, the latest news from Poseidon City is that fighting has also broken out in the Sun City area." Shuichong came.
"Why?" The Sun City area is a relatively stable area and there has been no civil war for many years.
"The Moon and Star Tribes are allied to seize the salt mountain controlled by the Sun Tribe."
Well, that's a reasonable excuse. The Sun Tribe has had salt mountains for a long time, so why didn't they argue about it before, and why are they only looking for war now?
"You charlatan, the Purple Tribe has sent out troops. In other words, the Moon and Star Tribes formed an alliance with the Purple Tribe of Seven Hundred Cities, which is why they decided to go to war." Shuichong said.
No wonder, when you have an absolute advantage in strength, it would be strange if you don’t feel itchy.
