Since it was said to be a divine object bestowed by the adults, it was naturally more effective than Lingzhi or Ginseng. Upon learning of such miraculous effects, Zhu Ji's gaze was fixated on the roasted fish, his eyes seemingly sparkling with excitement. Such a wonderful item, he had to ensure its proper preservation.
Nearby, Xiahou Xing leaned in slightly. "Head of the Chu Family, I, Xiahou Clan, am willing to trade a thousand jin of other meats for this item."
"Get lost! You think you can covet something bestowed by the immortals?" While carefully storing the roasted fish, Zhu Ji winked playfully at Xiahou Xing.
Just as Yun Xiao Yi was about to leave the Chu Family's storage room, he caught sight of a flash of orange in the corner—there was a pile of withered carrots hidden away. Carrots were similar to wheat and were also an excellent crop. Not only could they be consumed directly to stave off hunger, but they could also be used to lure and breed pigs and rabbits. They could even be crafted into a Carrot Fishing Rod or Golden Carrots, and used to make rabbit meat soup.
Most importantly, Golden Carrots could help breed horses that were not the high-maintenance types found in reality but rather the magical horses from Cube World that never seemed to tire. These horses could traverse terrains with significant height differences effortlessly and could leap across five blocks when charged up beforehand. Even more astonishingly, they could swim freely in two-block deep waters.
As someone who disliked being indebted to others, Yun Xiao Yi planned to use the carrots for trade. "Do you need milk?" Upon hearing the word "milk,"
Zhu Ji was momentarily stunned, but then excitement surged within him. During the journey back, he had learned that milk possessed almost miraculous properties, capable of reviving the dead and restoring flesh and bones. Such a thing was impossible to refuse!
"Please wait a moment, Immortal Sir. I will have someone prepare a barrel for the milk right away."
A short while later, Zhu Ji returned with several family members, who were all struggling to carry an enormous wooden barrel into the room. The barrel was so large that even two adults would have trouble wrapping their arms around it.
This fellow certainly had a playful side, but it seemed to serve no real purpose, as he only brought along a container filled with a small portion of milk—about ninety liters left after most had been used.
In that case, it would be best to give it all. Yun Xiao Yi took out the Milk Barrel from her backpack and began to pour slowly. The pure milk flowed like water into the massive barrel. Although it didn’t fill it completely, it filled more than half.
Zhu Ji watched intently as this unfolded. At that moment, Yun Xiao Yi furrowed her brow and let out a soft grunt of discontent.
"Isn’t this amount of milk enough? One should not be overly greedy."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ji immediately felt as if he were walking on thin ice. Realizing that his small scheme had angered her, he hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground.
"Please do not blame me, my lord. It is all my fault; I was blinded by the effects of the milk and acted presumptuously. I will never dare to act so recklessly again."
Yun Xiao Yi's gaze turned stern as she warned him, "Consider this a lesson this time; such behavior must not happen again. If you make the same mistake once more, I will surely withdraw the grace I have bestowed upon you."
With those words spoken,
Zhu Ji felt a chill in his heart. If the master were to be displeased and retract these gifts, he would become a disaster for the entire family, especially considering the boundless water source, an invaluable resource. This was the lifeline for everyone’s survival. If the others discovered that it was because of him that the immortal had taken away the endless water resources, even though he was the Chu Family Leader, he would likely face a tragic end at the hands of an enraged crowd.
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for your mercy. I will not dare to overstep again," he expressed with gratitude.
Yun Xiao Yi shook his head slightly, contemplating that he needed to be more mindful of how to manage the people in the future. Once greed took root in people's hearts, excessive leniency only made them more audacious. Therefore, it was essential to provide appropriate reminders, making them remember that it was they who could not do without him, rather than him relying on them.
Before long, Xiahou Xing arranged for a cart full of fresh fruits to be delivered. The variety was not abundant; however, Yun Xiao Yi's eyes lit up at the sight: coconuts? And papayas? Oh, there were even mangoes? Indeed, these were brought by merchants from the southern lands, and most of the fruits were tropical or subtropical in nature.
