Ye Luo understood that the tribe relied on this liquor to sustain life. Therefore, the fact that they offered it to him demonstrated how welco he truly was among them.
Of course, the Tao contained in the liquor was too shallow and did not have much effect on Ye Luo!
Moreover, his current lifespan spanned hundreds of years, so the liquor had virtually no impact on his longevity.
Nevertheless, this did not stop Ye Luo from drinking more. This ti, he did not use any spiritual power; he drank like an ordinary person!
This liquor was stronger than any other, as it contained that elusive Tao within it.
Soon, he was completely inebriated! And the other indigenous people fared no better; each collapsed on the table or fell to the ground, sleeping soundly.
It seed that such occurrences were common in the tribe, as no one ca to check on them.
Nuonuo thought of carrying Ye Luo back, but she quickly gave up, as his sudden absence might displease the indigenous people. Although young, Nuonuo was exceptionally wise, though she sotis appeared adorably clumsy in front of Ye Luo.
Nuonuo returned alone to the tent. Despite the indigenous tribe mainly consisting of ordinary people, small tribes or powers dared not provoke it.
Even when bandits passed by, they wouldn’t target this tribe!
This was entirely uncharacteristic of bandits! After all, Nuonuo hailed from a small tribe and had often suffered from bandit harassnt. When bandits appeared, regardless of tribal power, if there was a cultivator present, bandits would typically loot the place.
That ant this tribe was certainly not simple!
Nuonuo sat cross-legged, beginning her cultivation. She planned to tell Ye Luo everything tomorrow, hoping he would remain cautious.
In the morning, the outside sky remained grayish, a feature of the South Territory, where the distinction between day and night was blurred by the violent laws of power.
"Brother Ye, did you enjoy the drinks yesterday?" Dao’er asked with a smile.
Ye Luo imdiately smiled, "Brother Dao’er, thank you for your warm hospitality. I have so things which may be beneficial to you all!"
As he spoke, Ye Luo produced a large bottle of Essence of the Spirit Pond.
After all, the only valuable item he had in abundance now was this Essence of the Spirit Pond.
Even for ordinary people, it offered imnse benefits.
"What’s this?" Dao’er frowned at once, "Brother Ye, this isn’t appropriate. This is too precious; we can’t accept it!"
Dao’er frowned, intending to return it to Ye Luo.
He hadn’t cultivated, but that didn’t an he lacked insight!
On the contrary, his insight was quite keen; he could recognize many treasures.
"Brother Dao’er, what are you saying? Isn’t your liquor precious? Isn’t it the tribe’s life-sustaining treasure? Yet you shared it with , so if you don’t accept this, I’ll be upset!" Ye Luo said, feigning mild anger.
Dao’er paused, then burst into laughter, "Alright, Brother Ye, then I won’t be polite about it!"
With that, he accepted it with a chuckle, though his eyes remained rather indifferent, unlike a cultivator who would leap with excitent over a large bottle of essence.
His manner seed as ordinary as gifting a box of good cigarettes to soone on Earth.
"Brother Dao’er, I’d like to accompany you to the Five Dao Ridges, if I may!"
Dao’er agreed without a second thought, nodding directly, "Of course, that would be wonderful; we can drink together every day!"
Thus, Ye Luo and Nuonuo temporarily remained in the tribe.
"Master, I have sothing to tell you!"
Seeing Ye Luo appear, Nuonuo quickly shared her doubts.
Ye Luo, however, just laughed, "I noticed what you ntioned long ago. This tribe is indeed extraordinary, but the people are kind-hearted. So, let’s reciprocate that kindness!"
Nuonuo nodded slightly, seemingly understanding yet still sensing sothing amiss.
In the following days, Ye Luo fully integrated into the tribe. Their lives were simple and relaxed, much like rural living on Earth, with more free ti due to the lack of cultivation. The evenings were the most lively, with families gathering, n drinking, and won nding clothes.
This lifestyle, however, made travel quite slow.
But Ye Luo noticed they seed more precise than he at predicting the appearance of the Five Dao Ridges!
Of course, regarding tribal secrets, they remained silent, and so would Ye Luo.
Yet the climate was worsening.
Now, Nuonuo could only spend an hour daily on body refinent before reaching her limit. Still, she managed not to appear disheveled as she had promised, always maintaining a composed state.
Gradually, the young n in the tribe took an interest in her, though with her discernnt, she dismissed them, much to Ye Luo’s mutual disdain.
The tribe, however, did not interfere much, and Ye Luo beca intrigued by how they withstood the harsh environnt.
Their clothing was exquisite, and Dao’er had specially given Ye Luo an outfit, imdiately reducing the environntal impact significantly!
This far exceeded Ye Luo’s expectations, for even a slight reduction could make a significant difference in battle!
Imagine two people fighting, one having difficulty moving due to the environnt, while the other, though affected, could still throw punches.
The outco would be obvious!
Admittedly, this analogy was broad, but the principle held.
According to Dao’er, the older the clothes, the better the effect—no wonder the indigenous people seed unaffected by the environnt. So this was the reason!
As they traveled, Ye Luo began studying the clothing’s secrets!
To withstand harsh conditions, there had to be sothing peculiar about them.
Perhaps it was a formation or so mysterious power contained within.
