The alliance between Lu Village and Huahai Village became the strongest force in the wilderness, and the actions of Youyu Village also attracted the dissatisfaction of the other tribes, and Wakayama received wider support, so they united the tribes to negotiate with Youyu Village. The end result is still that Ariyomura is in charge of running the salt well, but the price becomes more reasonable.

Maintaining the salt wells and maintaining a steady stream of salt production requires the coordinated work of nearly 100 people, and the value of the salt produced by these nearly 100 people not only includes the value of the products they have obtained from other labor, but also should be exchanged for more. Because it's a higher-skilled job, not something that everyone can do. It is also necessary to consider that the tools used and worn out in digging salt wells must also be processed by special personnel, and some of them are still impossible for ordinary people to make, such as metal objects made of casting and forging, and this cost is difficult to measure clearly.

So Ruoshan made a suggestion that if the tribes wanted to be responsible for running the salt wells, they could quote their own prices, and if anyone planned to make trouble and deliberately offered a very low price, then they would have to provide salt to everyone at this price for the next year. In this way, it is the most advantageous to let Youyu Village operate the salt well.

It is not easy for Yucun to draw out nearly 100 people alone, and Ruoshan proposed that he could let the tribes send people to help, and the reward he received was salt. So there were two sources of salt for each tribe, the first was to exchange their products, and the second was to send people to the salt wells to work for payment. On the basis of the settlement of this dispute, the tribes of the barbarians gradually formed a loose alliance that was not too close.

The fields in that valley were clearly divided according to spontaneous cultivation, and the central flat land suitable for building houses was shared by the tribes. Gradually, more people began to build houses there, and various tribes lived together, and some people began to dismantle the stones from the ruins of the Qingshui clan's walled city for their own use.

As the Qingshui clan disappeared, a new, larger complex of buildings appeared in the valley, with small fields interspersed in between, and new bazaars formed in the open space between the buildings, and the number of foreign traders who arrived here gradually increased, and the salt needed by the tribes had a third source.

If there were walls, it would be the prototype of a castle. But all this is only the beginning, in the childhood of the tiger baby, people have just settled the salt well dispute, but the changes in the wilderness have begun to appear irreversible.

Youyu Village did not lose any of the benefits they deserved, in fact, they still enjoyed the greatest benefits due to their own advantages, but the patriarch of Youyu Village and several high-ranking figures in the clan were very dissatisfied. Because in the negotiation of these events, the patriarch of Lu Village, Ruoshan, has been the leader, and the name of the mountain lord has spread throughout the tribes in the wilderness, and he is unanimously respected by the people, as if he is already the leader of the tribal alliance, which is originally the position sought by the patriarch of Yucun!

Although they were dissatisfied and helpless, the high-level leaders of Youyu Village could only endure it for the time being.

Tiger Baby doesn't know much about it, his childhood was carefree and happy, not even realizing the passage of time. Li Qingshui has been worried about the tiger baby, and he is also paying attention to his cultivation, but it is a pity that the mountain god is no longer as powerful as he was at the beginning, and he can only see his daily behavior but can't secretly sense the changes in his divine energy, so he can't see any clues.

Tiger Baby doesn't have any magical powers, and of course he doesn't use any magical powers, he is just a very healthy and happy child in the eyes of adults. Since Li Qingshui couldn't see the clues, the two masters, Ruoshan and Ruoshui, didn't find anything.

But the tiger baby is growing up very healthily, which makes Li Qingshui very surprised and relieved at the same time. When this child was five years old, he had already attained the consummation of the ninth transformation of the first realm, and it stands to reason that he would have been able to enter the second realm of cultivation a long time ago, which would lead to all kinds of hidden dangers. But the tiger baby has not entered the second realm, he has been cultivating the first realm, if this is the case, how many times has he turned in the first realm?

The only person in the world who can understand this matter is the tiger baby herself, but unfortunately the tiger baby has not realized anything. If you calculate how many turns his initial realm cultivation has, I am afraid that there will be nine hundred and eighty-one turns before and after, which will last several years. But the tiger baby did not enter the second realm for a long time, so that Li Qingshui, who was in doubt, suddenly figured out one thing, and finally completely relieved himself.

The reason why Huwa didn't enter the second realm cultivation was not because no one taught him, nor was it because the cultivation of the first realm was not complete, the reason was just the simplest truth—that is, he couldn't!

This is a spontaneous, most simple, and well-versed cultivation experience in the Great Dao, and the cultivation of the second realm is the internal organs and bones, and before the growth and development reaches a certain stage, the tiger baby will not be able to take that step in this natural state. This is a good thing for the tiger baby, avoiding what Li Qingshui is most worried about.

In the long years of dry sitting, Li Qingshui was also waiting with curiosity - when would the tiger baby start to enter the second realm of cultivation? Maybe it was the transition period from childhood to adolescence, when the perception was fully developed, and the various functions of the body also entered the stage of rapid growth. And the cultivation of the second realm of the tiger baby should be accompanied by the process of gradual development and maturity of the body. If this is really the case, it is equivalent to confirming Li Qingshui's speculation and judgment.

Li Qingshui deserves to be the top great master in the world, and his guesses and judgments are completely correct. Danli Qingshui also couldn't understand one thing, how did the tiger baby enter the initial realm of cultivation in the first place, and how did this natural state appear?

In fact, there is a mysterious realm in life that is not yet known to Li Qingshui, and Ruoshan and Ruoshui are even more unclear, and the tiger baby himself may have a hazy feeling, but he can't summarize and tell it. The first realm, also known as the first illumination realm, is a strange state that everyone has experienced, that is, the infant period that has just come to this world - the beginning of man.

The fetus will be separated from the mother's body, and before it is separated from the mother's body, life has been conceived and matured, and it has consciousness. However, it is difficult for the five senses to access information other than the rhythm of life, and the whole body is wrapped in amniotic fluid in a closed state, and the eyes are not opened. At this time, people do not have any distracting thoughts, and the clearest sense of consciousness is themselves, just like the inner reflection in the initial realm.

When people leave their mothers and are born into this world, but the perception of the five senses has not yet been fully developed, they often extend their understanding of this world with a very hazy perception, like the five senses but not the five senses, or it is difficult to say which kind of perception it is. This perception satisfies the baby's curiosity, gives them some comfort, and can also disturb them.

At the beginning of people, they have experienced the first illumination, but when they grow up, they will not leave a memory, and this experience is only lurking in the depths of the sea of knowledge. The baby's first state of life is an innate state, which does not mean that there are any supernatural powers, and in order to survive in this world, they must open their eyes and hands, and then gradually get out of this state.

For example, Tiger Baby, his earliest memory started from the light that Shan Ye lit, and he didn't remember the experience when he was a baby. However, the reason why people are able to enter the primordial realm to cultivate is that they once had it, but the farther and farther they go in the mortal world, it is already difficult to find it.

When people's perception gradually develops clearly, because of various opportunities, they enter the first illumination realm, which is not only a return to the state of a baby, but also a new sublimation, just like water evaporates into water vapor and then condenses into water droplets. This matter has been enlightened, and one can take the initiative to explore, experience, perceive, and cultivate, which is what the monk calls the first realm.

There is nothing wrong with the choice of letting a man of sixteen and a woman of fourteen to guide her into the primordial state by allowing the men of the tribe who have reached the age of sixteen to watch her spin cloth. And the tiger baby is a special case, he naturally awakened or returned to the state of a baby, but with the growth of his perception and understanding of the world, he entered the initial realm of cultivation. Therefore, after the consummation of the ninth transformation, he was still cultivating the first realm, until he also entered the second realm with a natural process.

This is also something that Li Qingshui still doesn't understand, he only knows how many turns the tiger baby has cultivated in the initial realm. Of course, the clansmen did not know the situation of the tiger baby, but the tiger baby became everyone's favorite child, especially after the alliance between the two villages, he was also welcomed by the people of Huahai Village.

Huwa often went to Huahai Village to see the landscape, and the patriarch Gu Xin told him not to run into the water to play in case of accidents, and also told other clansmen to take care of the child. The tiger baby picked up swan eggs by the flower beach, and handed them over to Huahai Village for distribution in accordance with the rules. But every year when the season comes, the tiger baby almost always has swan eggs to eat, and often swan meat to eat, and Pan Gu has also stained a lot of light with him.

The swan eggs in Huahai Village are distributed together, according to the number of picks and the contribution of the clansmen. There are more than 300 people in Huahai Village, of course, not everyone will get a whole egg every time, but the tiger baby in Lu Village is an exception. Every time Huahai Village divides the swan eggs, no matter how many, he will take out a whole egg and give it to him. This was the promise of the year, because the Gu Xin patriarch said to Huwa that as long as he agreed to give Huahai Village a rooster, there would be swan eggs to eat in the future.

Granny Shui asked Huwa in private, since she had understood the intentions of the people of Huahai Village, why did she agree so happily? Huwa blinked and asked, "If the people of Huahai Village can also raise chickens, will the people of Lucun have fewer eggs?"

Granny Shui smiled: "Of course not!, but in that case, the eggs are not unique to the people of Lu Village, what do you think?"

Huwa replied childishly: "Actually, we don't have enough eggs in our village to eat, but sometimes we have to take out the eggs to exchange for what I want more." Even if Huahai Village learns to raise chickens, it is the same.

The people of Lucun have learned to raise chickens, and if they have meat and eggs, they can save a lot of effort, have more time and energy to do other things, and get more things, and the same is true for the people of Huacun. In this way, everyone has more things, and each of them can exchange more things, so why don't I agree?"

Granny Shui asked curiously, "That's what you think?"

Tiger Baby: "This is what I saw!"
