The influence of the Dan Tribe was spreading because the warriors of the Dan Tribe were becoming stronger and more agile. Their harvest from hunting was increasing, and their prey was also becoming bigger and fiercer.
However, Dan, the leader of the tribe, did not become happier. Instead, he came to pay his respects to Yang Jian with a worried look on his face.
"Saint, the tribe doesn't have enough food, but the winter season is coming!"
Dan said worriedly, "Starving people, a lot of people!"
Yang Jian had been studying the resentments of the tribe's aboriginals and did not pay much attention to the development of the Dan Tribe. Hearing that, he could not help but feel strange: "Isn't the harvest from the hunting going up?"
Dan said helplessly, "The Saint teaches us to dance and play with beasts. We have obtained a lot of prey. There are a lot of people outside, and we don't have enough food to eat."
As Yang Jian and Dan conversed more and more, Dan was able to say more and more words, but he was still unable to fully explain what he wanted to say.
Fortunately, Yang Jian was already used to it, so the Spiritual Sense soon covered the entire tribe.
Ever since Yang Jian gave them to imitate the movements of a bird of prey, Vicious Beasts to hunt and kill to train themselves and increase their harvest greatly, they became very famous in the surrounding aboriginal tribes.
It was because the Dan Tribe had sufficient food and brave warriors that more and more people came to join the Dan Tribe.
As a result, even though the Dan Tribe was becoming more and more powerful, the consumption of food in the tribe was increasing. Furthermore, it was the eve of the cold season, and the prey was becoming fewer and fewer, causing Dan Qing to be unable to obtain enough food to survive the cold season even if he wanted to increase the number of times he could hunt.
"Women are harvesting wild fruits, wild seeds, and roots, but it's still not enough!" Dan continued.
As he spoke, Dan saw that the sage was standing in front of him, seemingly lost in thought. He didn't hear what the sage was saying.
Dan followed the sage's gaze but did not discover anything. Thus, he carefully called out from the side, "Sage?"
Yang Jian came back to his senses. He looked at Dan's hopeful eyes and smiled. He pointed to the corner of the wooden house and asked, "Dan, do you see anything there?"
Dan looked suspiciously in the direction Yang Jian pointed. He had already seen it once. Other than a spider web in the corner that he hadn't cleaned for a long time, it didn't attract much attention.
However, since the sage had already pointed it out, Dan thought for a moment before asking uncertainly, "Spiderweb?" I will have someone clean it up! "
Yang Jian immediately laughed when he heard this. He waved his hand and said, "No no no, Dan, look carefully, aren't spiders using spider webs to prey on food very interesting?"
Dan thought for a moment, then nodded.
Yang Junshan laughed when he heard this, and pointed it out again, "You're right, we can use the net to restrict the movements of our prey, and we can also reduce the casualties of the tribe warriors. But we shouldn't use this net for hunting."
Dan frowned as he thought about it. His gaze shifted to a moth that had been stuck to the spider's web as it was being eaten by a spider. His eyes lit up as he said, "You can catch birds!"
Dan did not see Yang Jian's slightly astonished gaze and shouted excitedly, "Hang it in the forest and catch the birds!"
Yang Jian touched his nose awkwardly and coughed, "It can be done, but I heard that there are many people who use spears to fish in the river in front of the tribe, but the harvest is very small …"
Before Yang Jian could finish, Dan had already jumped up and said loudly, "I got it, throwing the net and fishing!"
These three words were extremely concise, but it clearly stated Yang Jian's purpose for making use of this opportunity to raise his position!
It had to be said that Dan wasn't just relying on his bravery to become the leader of the tribe, but also the cleverest of all the native mortals, to give his own name to the tribe.
"Saint, thank you!"
Dan gave Yang Jian an incongruous bow, then hurried out of the cabin.
Yang Jian hurriedly called out to him from behind and asked, "Dan, I remember telling the women in the tribe to collect some seeds that the prey likes, and to scatter them on the wasteland by the river, and also to bury some fruits on the hillside behind the tribe. What's happening now?"
"Ugh …"
Dan scratched the pars dorsalis awkwardly, and said uncertainly: "The grass seeds grow out, very few, the fruit core becomes a small tree, very small, no results!"
Yang Jian seemed to understand that Dan didn't know the meaning behind making him do this. It was just because of his trust for Yang Jian, he did as he said. But he definitely didn't put his heart into it.
Seeing this, Yang Jian didn't point it out. He just instructed, "Collect the grass seeds and don't throw them out. Sprinkle them into the wasteland after the winter season. Also, take a good look at the small trees growing from the hill and don't let the beasts eat them."
Dan answered and left. Then Yang Jian heard Dan's voice in the tribe, as if he was instructing something.
The bonfire in the tribe was lit all night long, and it only gradually extinguished when the sun rose.
Yang Jian looked out the window of the wooden house and saw Dan and a few of the clan's famous warriors carrying a bunch of rattan rope as they walked towards the river outside of the tribe. Many men and women from different tribes followed behind them.
Yang Jian only smiled when he saw this. Although Dan and the other tribesmen had to remove the rattan net overnight, it was not an easy task to fish out of the river immediately.
Sending the net was a technical matter, but without a boat, they could only fish on the riverbank. With such a large group of people making a ruckus, perhaps even Yu’er in the river would be scared off.
Moreover, they might not be able to use the rattan net for the first time. The size of the net was sparse, and the situation after the rattan rope was immersed in water was unknown.
All of this would probably take some time to figure out, and only then would he be able to perfect his survival skill.
However, the reality was out of Yang Jian's expectation. Not even one morning had passed, and suddenly, a heaven shaking cheer came from the river outside the tribe, startling Yang Jian who was immersed in studying the force of desire.
"Hey, did you catch a fish so fast?"
Yang Jian got up and walked towards the window. From a distance, he saw the tribe leader Dan holding a three foot tall golden carp in his hands and excitedly running towards the wooden house.
Seeing Yang Jian open the door, Dan shouted from afar, "Sage, fish, a lot of fish!"
Yang Jian saw Dan carrying the huge fish that weighed more than a hundred catties all the way from the river to here, without even breathing heavily. He couldn't help but sigh at the physique of these local mortals.
"Dan, there are a lot of fish in the river. Are they all this big?" Yang Jian asked.
Dan nodded, but then shook his head and said, "There are a lot of fish. There are many big fish. This is the largest and most beautiful one, dedicated to the Saint!"
Yang Jian had come to understand that the fish in the river, because they were rarely caught by these local mortals, had grown into giant fish and big fish over the years, and the shoal of fish was also very dense.
The rattan net woven by the local mortals of the tribe might be poor, but they could still harvest quite a lot of river fishes in this situation.
Yang Jian asked again, "Then, what if we catch some fish to replenish the tribe's food?"
Dan's face turned serious as he nodded at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian laughed when he saw this, "Leave this fish here. Go and fish by the river quickly."
Dan respectfully placed the big carp at Yang Jian's feet. Then, he looked at him gratefully before turning around and excitedly running towards the river.
Yang Jian suddenly found out that the moment Dan placed the big carp under his feet, a large amount of force of desire s immediately surged over from the side of the river. Along with the waves of cheers coming from the river, these force of desire s were also like waves, surging over and over towards the wooden house.
Just as Yang Jian was thinking about how to use the force of desire, other than a small part of the incoming force of desire that was absorbed into his body, the rest of the force of desire gushed into the mouth of the giant golden carp under his feet. Yang Jian suddenly opened his eyes wide.
The drifting snowflakes and the knife-like cold wind heralded the coming of the cold season.
On the frozen river, Yang Junshan and Yang Jian floated in the air while the snow around them swirled past the two of them.
Looking down at the frozen river, the tribesmen wrapped in animal skins gathered around a hole in the river in twos and threes. From time to time, they would let out waves of cheers when a big fish jumped out of the hole.
"So you're saying, these force of desire, or rather, the power of faith that originates from the local mortals, has caused your cultivation to rise tremendously?"
Yang Junshan frowned slightly. He looked serious and was not happy with the increase in Yang Jian's cultivation level.1
Yang Jian said: "Originally, I was very cautious about these unfamiliar force of desire, and have always cautiously come into contact with them. However, that time, the force of desire that rushed towards me was really too huge, so I accidentally sucked a few mouthfuls of it, and these force of desire s were immediately assimilated into the essence of heaven and earth along with the circulation of the immortal elemental energy."
"Is it assimilating or evolving on its own?" Yang Junshan asked further.
Yang Jian was startled, and said: "It seems that these force of desire can change according to the different requirements, and it seems more like they will evolve on their own."
"How do you know?" Yang Junshan continued to ask.
"Other than being able to transform into the origin of nature and use it to increase my cultivation, I also realize that these force of desire s seem to be beneficial to my body's quality!" Yang Jian said.
Yang Jian's original form was a immortal apparatus!
When Yang Junshan was attacked in the Nine Heavens Star Realm, not only did Yang Jian give up the opportunity to become a medium grade immortal apparatus, but because he injected a large amount of his own origin energy into Yang Junshan's body, helping him recover quickly, his own origin energy ran short and he almost fell from the immortal apparatus's level. This was also the reason why Yang Jian looked so thin during that period of time.
And now, Yang Jian seemed to have not only recovered from the lack of source energy, but even improved his cultivation.
From Yang Junshan's point of view, Yang Jian's current distance from his original body, which was formed from the medium grade, as well as the distance between him and his own body, was not too far.
"And these too!"
Yang Jian took down a storage bag from his waist and handed it over.
Yang Junshan took it and opened it. He was surprised and said: "Is this a celestial spirit? So many? Where did you get the time to collect these things? "
Yang Jian explained, "I didn't collect them personally, but I taught these mortals some ways to survive. They used some harvests from fishing and in exchange, most of the immortal items were obtained from the things they exchanged or thanked me for."
Yang Junshan's brows twitched as he said, "You mean …"
Yang Jian said in a deep voice: "I suspect that these immortal spirits were formed from the force of desire."
