The Qingshui tribe is where Xu Xuanhu currently resides.

He is now already a youth as handsome as an orchid and jade tree, and if it weren't for his priest status, who knows how many girls would be throwing themselves at him.

Of course, although Xu Xuanhu has grown into a young man, he is not very interested in matters between men and women.

He understands the dangers of this world, so for a long time, he hasn't done anything out of line, following the path planned by the predecessor priests.

Even though he has reached the point where, with the Wind Thunder Wings, few in the Black Water State can catch up with him, he still hasn't rashly explored those dangerous places or powerful tribes in the Black Water State.

The Qingshui tribe is very weak, and it is precisely because of this weakness that they hide in a remote area of the Black Water State, allowing Xu Xuanhu to grow up in these barren mountains and treacherous waters.

They are known as barren mountains and treacherous waters because of the excessive number of fierce predatory demon beasts nearby.

When the tribe goes out hunting, they always need to go in groups to achieve anything, and even so, they often pay a price in death and injury.

As for the priests, they are responsible for treating the sick and wounded, and also have another important task: identifying and classifying the wild fruits and vegetables collected by the women.

The identification after the tribe's collection is a very meticulous task.

Initially, the tribe members doubted that the young priest could handle such a responsibility.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xuanhu did it very well.

Additionally, Xu Xuanhu's medical skills are not inferior to the old priest's.

Being able to identify food and cure and save lives, Xu Xuanhu's position within the Qingshui tribe naturally stabilizes very easily.

Yet Xu Xuanhu doesn't take pride in this.

It is his father who is truly remarkable.

He often thought, if his father were here, the Qingshui tribe would have already become the strongest tribe in this area.

"Young priest, I found the seeds you spoke of." The tribe's samurai, Xingyao, came joyfully to Xu Xuanhu's stone cave. The Qingshui tribe had a mixture of cave and tree dwellings.

Living on trees provided better vision and early warning against attacks from demon beasts and fierce birds.

Cave dwelling was conducive to resisting external enemies.

For a long time, the Qingshui tribe hid underground.

Because they were once attacked by a powerful tribe.

In that battle, the casualties were severe.

In the Jiuli World, tribal conflicts are common.

No reason is needed.

If there is a reason, it's likely because you are "weak."

Xu Xuanhu certainly knows that weakness is the greatest fault in heaven and earth. But he still dislikes it.

Clearly, being the fourth generation of the Black Mountain Old Demon, he has gradually developed a compassionate heart.

He also cries easily.

Seeing others injured or dying in pain brings tears to his eyes.

Clearly, as a child, he had hurt people recklessly while cultivating Beiming.

But now he realizes, at that time, he didn't understand what death was.

Initially, he thought death was never seeing someone again.

But wise as Xuanhu is, how could he not know that most people in this world you will not meet more than once?

In a lifetime, the people you can see again are very limited, and so are the chances to see them.

He worries that he may never see his parents again.

But in this otherworld, he is not extremely lonely.

Whenever feeling lonely, he looks at the third sun in the Black Water State.

That is his mentor, the Third Generation Black Mountain Old Demon.

Evidently an enemy, yet the only spiritual solace he has in this otherworld.

The sunlight is meant to illuminate the earth, yet every time the third sun rises above the horizon, Xu Xuanhu feels its gaze upon him.

A gaze devoid of emotion.

Seemingly without any particular intent.

Yet Xu Xuanhu can still disperse the loneliness in his heart because of this.

The Third Generation Old Demon never told Xu Xuanhu how to cultivate or what to do.

The most important task for Xu Xuanhu in this world is likely just "to live."

During his years with the Qingshui tribe, Xu Xuanhu discovered that living is a powerful word.

Everyone is striving to "live," and every creature is striving to "live."

This is the rule of heaven and earth, this is the Heavenly Dao.

For the first time, he had a profound understanding of the indifference of the world.

He did not blame heaven and earth because heaven and earth treat all creatures equally.

So, he decided to simply "live well."

Finding the rice seeds is an important step Xu Xuanhu took towards better living for the Qingshui tribe.

For a barbarian tribe, entering the era of slash-and-burn agriculture is definitely a huge advancement.

Having acquired the "rice seeds," Xuanhu found that it wasn't just a simple wild rice, but spirit rice, which, despite its low yield, was indeed spirit rice.

Based on the clues provided by Xingyao, he tried to find more spirit rice and then steamed it.

Xu Xuanhu took a small bite and cried.

This made him nostalgic for the Yellow Millet Rice he ate as a child.

In fact, the spiritual energy in this rice was more abundant and better for the body.

The only downside is its yield.

How to increase the yield of spirit rice?

Xu Xuanhu had his own thoughts.

Thanks to reading many books with his father as a child, including those on agriculture.

Besides that, he also recalled a Dao Skill that is beneficial for cultivating spirit plants.

"Taiyin Xuan Guang."

In the Jiuli World, different states have different numbers of suns, but only one moon.

That is the Taiyin Star.

Legend has it that the Taiyin Star is the transformation of the Inner Heaven and Earth of a powerful being.

During the day, the solar essence of each state is absorbed by the Taiyin Star and transforms into Taiyin Moonlight at night, spreading across the various states of the Jiuli World.
