Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1127: Simple Folk Customs
"So, the Lion Camel Dragon is really dead?"

Chief Aoki still felt a sense of unreality as he looked at the Lion Camel Dragon's large horns.

"Of course it's true. Every strike is fatal."

Bai Pu pulled out more dragon scales from the Lion Camel Dragon, which were, of course, scales he had plundered.

Now the Qing tribe had no choice but to believe it.

"The Lion Camel Dragon is dead, we're safe!"

"Thank you, guardian serpent!"

The Qing warriors who came upon hearing the news all had smiles on their faces.

Bai Pu found it a bit awkward to hear.

What? I helped you kill the Lion Camel Dragon, and instead of thanking me, you thank the Giant Serpent Guardian?

Fortunately, the important figures of the Qing ethnic group who had a high regard for Bai Pu still remembered his contributions.

"Thank you to our clan's hero, and the hero of the entire Cuiling, Lord Bai Pu! He killed the Lion Camel Dragon!" Chief Qingmu shouted, raising his arms.

"Hero! Hero!"

The Qing warriors rushed to Bai Pu's side, lifted his body, and prepared to throw him into the air.

"Hey, hey, stop, stop!" Bai Pu hurriedly said. He wasn't used to being tossed around like that.

Bai Pu took a breath. With his passive strength assessment value, this inhale and exertion made his body weigh a ton. It wouldn't be easy for the Qing Clan warriors to throw him up.

Looking at the Qing ethnic men surrounding him, their eyes shining with reverence and even worship, Bai Pu sighed silently in his heart.

The promised welcoming party did happen, but instead of girls holding bouquets of flowers and fruit and full of enthusiasm, there was only a group of rough Qing ethnic men around.

Fortunately, he could see Qingrou from afar. This tall and beautiful female leader of the Qing tribe looked at Bai Pu with an undisguised and passionate gaze, which comforted Bai Pu.

It was clear that Qingrou really wanted to squeeze into the celebrating crowd and say something to Bai Pu.

Unfortunately, it was not appropriate for her, a woman, to squeeze in with a group of enthusiastic, rough men.

In the afternoon, the Stone Clan and the Black Bird Clan arrived upon hearing the news and were overjoyed to see the dismembered remains of the Lion Camel Dragon.

The three tribes held a grand bonfire feast, bringing out all the meat, fruit, and wine they had stored.

People gathered around the bonfire, drinking and singing, their laughter filling the air.

One girl after another, holding flower garlands, placed them on Bai Pu's head. Once his neck was full, they hung them on Bai Pu's arms and armor.

This is a local custom in Cuiling. The bonfire party is also a large-scale matchmaking party. The girls carefully weave flower garlands and put them on their sweethearts, which means that you can come to find me tonight.

Amidst a chorus of cheers, Qingrou also threw a flower wreath at Bai Pu.

"Lord Bai Pu, from now on you will be the most honored guest of our three clans in Cuiling," said the Black Bird Clan's Black Flower Clan Mother with a smile.

“It would be such a waste for a warrior as strong as you not to join our Stone Clan,” said Shi Liang, the chieftain of the Stone Clan.

"Haha, Lord Bai Pu is already a member of our Qing Clan!"

Chief Aoki quickly asserted his sovereignty, which drew disdain from Shi Liang and the Black Flower Clan Mother.

“With Lord Bai Pu’s strength, how could he possibly live in the small Qing Clan? He is the common guardian of our three clans in Cuiling,” said the Xuanhua Clan Mother.

Just as the three clan leaders were arguing, Bai Pu raised his hand and said:

"The three clan leaders must not quarrel; from now on, Cuiling must remain united. After I killed the Lion Camel Dragon this time, I unexpectedly encountered a human city called Huaixi City. I took a look at the market in the city; there are large quantities of grain, medicine, and ironware. These are all goods that Cuiling particularly needs, but they are not expensive there."

"However, Huai Xi City has a huge demand for raw materials such as rare medicinal herbs and precious animal hides, and the prices are quite high. If the three clans of Cui Ling unite and do business with Huai Xi City..."

With each word Bai Pu spoke, the eyes of the three clan leaders shone even brighter.

"Where is Huaixi City?" Chief Qingmu couldn't help but ask.

Bai Pu pointed west: "It's just west of the Ancient Locust Mountain Range... Well, the Ancient Locust Mountain Range is what they call it. Actually, it's the place you call Lingxi."

“Lingxi…” Chief Shi Liang frowned. “Going to Lingxi is not easy. To be honest, our Shi clan sent out several exploration teams before when we wanted to migrate west, but none of them came back.”

The Xuanhua Clan Mother also said, "Our Xuanniao Clan also sent people, riding eagle companions, to try to fly over the 'Ancient Locust Mountain Range.' But they ultimately failed to return."

Bai Pu could understand that migrating westward to Lingxi must have been extremely difficult.

If the three races have already found a way, how could they possibly accompany him to fight the Lion Camel Dragon?
Chief Qingmu coughed and said, "Please don't be in such a hurry, gentlemen. Since Lord Bai Pu has been to Huai Xi City and returned from there, doesn't that mean he has crossed the Ancient Huai Mountains?"

This statement reminded the other two clan leaders, and all three of them kept their eyes fixed on Bai Pu.

Bai Pu nodded and smiled, "That's right. The airspace above the Ancient Locust Mountain Range is a no-fly zone. The only way to cross it is through the forest on the ground. However, the forest is filled with a special mist that has a mental interference effect, making it easy for people to lose their way and wander into some dangerous places."

"I left a trail marker when I came. As long as you follow the marker, you can bypass the dangerous areas and won't get lost. I will provide this road to the three tribes of Cuiling free of charge, hoping that Cuiling will become more and more prosperous." "Such a passage is too valuable. If we were to explore it ourselves, I'm afraid half of the warriors of the three tribes would die or be injured, and we still wouldn't be able to find it."

The three clan chiefs bowed simultaneously, paying the highest respect to Bai Pu.

“Three clan leaders, there’s no need for such formalities. After all, I am also a member of Cuiling.”

Bai Pu smiled and said, "Next, I would like to ask each of the three clans to send some capable people with a batch of goods to accompany me to Huai Xi City to familiarize themselves with the route. I have also acquired several shops in Huai Xi City for trading purposes, and I need manpower for them."

The three clan leaders readily agreed.

Bai Pu's reputation level among the three clans has also increased significantly, and the favorability of important figures such as the clan leaders has also increased significantly!
Now, Bai Pu's reputation among the three tribes of Cuiling has risen to the levels of reverence and worship (Qing tribe), and his affinity with the tribe leader has also reached the level of friendship.

All three clan leaders stated that Bai Pu should ask for anything that the three clans of Cuiling possessed.

This sentence actually helped Bai Pu unlock the exchange privileges of the three races' quartermaster. Bai Pu quickly received a notification from the spirit realm's will that he now possessed 20,000 merit points from the three races of Cuiling.

Bai Pu opened the exchange list of the three races' quartermasters and found that the current resource list only contained raw materials such as animal hides, animal bones, and medicinal herbs, with the highest level being dark gold materials.

Finished equipment is available, but it is mostly made of stone or bone, with very little armor.

However, as primitive tribes, the three tribes of Cuiling have simple and honest customs, and they do business without any tricks. The prices they set are also quite "simple and honest".

For example, a lord-level snake bone, as a dark gold-level forging material, can be exchanged for only 500 merit points.

Dark gold-grade materials like these would definitely be considered rare finds in other factions' quartermaster exchange lists, and their price would be two or three times higher.

Hey, you guys can't do business like this. You'll probably get swindled out of everything when you get to Huaixi City.

Oh, you guys don't wear underwear anyway, then it's fine.

Bai Pu silently complained to himself.

He has decided that when the three clans arrive in Huaixi City and conduct large-scale material transactions, the prices must be personally determined by him, and once determined, they cannot be easily changed.

In particular, you shouldn't be easily fooled by others into lowering the price or giving it away as a gift for friendship; doing so would be a huge loss.

Subsequently, the three clans will engage in trade with the major families of Huai Xi City, using these rare raw materials to exchange for equipment, armor, and some special items. At that time, the quartermaster's exchange list will be greatly enriched, and Bai Pu will be supplied with these items at the most "honest" prices.

Due to time constraints, Bai Pu only rested for one night in Cuiling.

The girls from Cuiling gathered in front of Bai Pu's door. Seeing that Bai Pu wasn't taking the initiative, they couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to try and seduce him.

However, all the girls who coveted Bai Pu's beauty were thrown away by Qing Rou using her lasso. Under the intimidation of Qing Rou's aura, they finally dispersed.

After driving these people away, Qingrou quietly slipped into Bai Pu's room.

Xuanling stood far away outside the door, and snorted disdainfully.

The Xuan Niao clan is a matrilineal society. Even if she is interested in Bai Pu, she wants to marry Bai Pu and make her her spouse. Of course, she wouldn't go and engage in any female rivalry after Qing Rou has already entered the palace.

The next day, the clan announced that they would be sending a group of warriors westward to Huaixi City.

Upon hearing that they were going to Lingxi, warriors from all three tribes vied to be the first to go, forcing the tribal chiefs to conduct a selection process.

Among them, several lords whom Bai Pu was most familiar with, who were the pillars of their tribes, all came along.

These include: Qingyuan of the Qing Clan, Shitian of the Shi Clan, and Xuanling of the Xuan Bird Clan.

However, Qingyuan was ultimately rejected because his younger sister, Qingrou, insisted on going with Bai Pu to see the prosperity of Huaixi City.

Unable to dissuade his younger sister, Qingyuan had no choice but to stay and guard the ancestral land of the Qing clan.

The reason for sending so many lord-level figures was also Bai Pu's suggestion. The three tribes of Cuiling are newcomers, and it would be best for them to show off their strength after arriving in Huaixi City.

These three lord-level figures are considered leading figures among the younger generation even among the major families of Huai Xi City, second only to the patriarch-level powerhouses of several families in Huai Xi City.

However, on his way back, Bai Pu felt a strong sense of being summoned.

It seems that the Grand Wizard and the Grand Wizard have completed the Source Lord summoning ritual, and he is now needed to go to the Eternal Night World to act as a henchman.

Bai Pu had a contingency plan for this.

He said to Qingrou and the others, "You should head west for now and wait for me at the entrance of the Ancient Locust Mountain Range. I have some things to take care of, and I should be back in a day at most. Do not go into the mountains on your own."

The members of the Cuiling caravan readily agreed and set off with their goods.

After they left, Bai Pu answered the call and temporarily left the wilderness.

Although Bai Pu left the Wilderness World, he temporarily traveled to other spirit realms through the Source Lord's Descent Ritual. His "anchor" is still in the Wilderness World, and the main quest will not be affected.

Once the time for the Source Lord's descent ceremony is over, Bai Pu will still be sent back to his original location in the Wilderness World.
