The savage leader, clad in animal skins, slowly walked towards Xu Yuehuai, each step demonstrating his initial trust in this outsider.
“Looking at these things, they are truly beyond imagination. Your words are not a single lie.” His voice was like the wind echoing in the mountains and forests.
Xu Yuehuai smiled slightly, a smile that contained profound wisdom and gentleness: "These stone pots and wooden beds may be novel to you, but where I come from, they are just daily necessities. If we can work together, I will open a door to a wider world for you."
These words, like a clear spring, slowly flowed into the heart of the savage leader, stirring up ripples.
The leader's gaze hardened, and he made a decisive gesture: "Then let us delve deeper into this unknown covenant."
After saying this, he turned around and led Xu Yuehuai into a hidden cave, the most sacred and private place in the tribe.
Before entering the cave, Xu Yuehuai subtly gave Yan Qing and Wang Mang a look, a tacit understanding that needed no words.
The two understood each other and remained where they were, working alongside the curious savages to create items that, while seemingly ordinary, contained the fruits of her wisdom.
Inside the cave, the leader's eyes held both expectation and scrutiny: "What exactly is this 'real skill' you speak of?"
"I'm sure you're all interested in weapons and treatment."
“Our tribe truly lacks powerful weapons and healing techniques.”
Xu Yuehuai paced back and forth, saying, "Weapons are the sharp swords that protect our homes; medical skills are the nectar that saves lives. Although I am not a god, I have only a superficial understanding of these skills. But before that, there are some secrets about this land. For example, do you have any red crystals here?"
Upon hearing this, the chieftain's eyes flashed with a strange light: "It seems you truly come from a place we can hardly imagine. In the future, my descendants will surely set foot on that land you speak of. But why are you so interested in red roses?"
“Red Rose,” Xu Yuehuai repeated the name, “is more than just a gemstone to me. The power it contains may unlock many mysteries and even change destiny.”
The leader's expression turned solemn. He slowly got up, walked to the depths of the cave, and forcefully pushed aside a huge stone slab, revealing a hidden grotto.
Inside the grotto, mountains of red roses gleamed alluringly in the dim light, as if concealing endless secrets and power.
Xu Yuehuai approached and gently touched the red rose stones.
At that very moment, something strange happened—a powerful force surged from the stone, instantly flowing into her fingertips and coursing through her meridians throughout her body!
Her eyes instantly became exceptionally bright, as if they could see through everything in the world.
Upon seeing this, the chieftain was shocked and quickly knelt down, kowtowing with the utmost reverence: "The descent of the Holy Maiden is a great blessing for our race!"
His voice trembled violently, filled with awe and excitement.
Xu Yuehuai was stunned for a moment by this sudden change, but she quickly understood.
She helped the leader up, and their eyes met at that moment, as if transcending the boundaries of time and space, witnessing together the dawn of a new era.
“I’m not some saint,” Xu Yuehuai said softly, “but we can create our own future together.”
As these words fell, the cave fell silent once more, but this silence contained an unprecedented hope and determination.
On this ancient and mysterious land, a legendary story of cooperation, exploration, and growth is quietly unfolding.
Over the next few days, Xu Yuehuai focused on helping the savages create a more advanced civilization.
She often held a slender twig, its tip glistening with the natural juice squeezed from wild berries, and used it to sketch exquisite designs on the rough bark. Her gaze was focused and profound, as if she were having a silent dialogue with this ancient land.
Yan Qing and Wang Mang stood to one side, sometimes looking down at the blueprints, sometimes looking up at the busy barbarians in the distance, their faces filled with anticipation for the coming changes.
"The design of these tools will definitely make their hunting more efficient." Yan Qing pointed to a diagram depicting a complex mechanism, his tone full of confidence.
Wang Mang patted the shoulder of a savage next to him who was sharpening arrowheads with a stone and laughed, "Brother, with these new weapons, we won't have to worry about going hungry anymore."
Although the savages couldn't understand all the words, they sensed an unprecedented hope from the expressions and actions of the two men. They worked even harder, their sweat glistening in the sunlight, like the flames burning in their hearts.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuehuai walked side by side with the wild man leader deep into the mountains, their goal being to find more red rose stones.
The leader walked with a steady gait, his eyes revealing boundless admiration for Xu Yuehuai.
“Holy Maiden, this red rose stone is a sacred object that connects us to the heavens.” His words were tinged with piety, and each time he said “Holy Maiden,” it was as if he were confirming an undeniable fact.
Xu Yuehuai shook her head slightly, trying to explain again: "I am not your saintess, I just happen to be able to use these stones."
But the leader only smiled slightly, a smile that contained too many stories and unwavering principles, which ultimately led Xu Yuehuai to choose silence.
As night fell, a bonfire blazed inside the cave, its light illuminating every excited and satisfied face.
The savages danced around the bonfire, celebrating their improved lives, while Xu Yuehuai sat to the side, playing with a red rose stone in her hand, feeling the energy surging within it.
She pondered to herself, "What secrets does this red rose stone hold? Why am I the only one who can sense its power?"
“Your Holiness, you seem to have a special understanding of red roses.” The leader had somehow gotten to sit down next to her.
Xu Yuehuai looked up, her gaze meeting the leader's. "I'm just curious, why are you so convinced that I am the Holy Maiden?"
The chieftain pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Because in the history of our people, only the Holy Maiden could wield the power of the Red Rose Stone and lead us to prosperity. And you, you not only did that, but also brought about earth-shattering changes to our lives."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai suddenly realized that perhaps her role in this world was far more important than she had imagined.
"So, how did you originally intend to use these red rose stones?"
“We would place the red rose on the altar on certain holidays to pray for divine protection and guidance.” The leader’s words carried a sense of holiness. “But now, we are more inclined to believe that you are the saint who can lead us to the light.”
It seems that very few people are able to utilize red rose quartz.
But where is the real saint?
Xu Yuehuai couldn't figure it out for a moment.
