Laozi's request, Baitu's proposal

  The hunt is over. The celebratory bonfire that usually follows the end of the hunt has also been cancelled, replaced by a collective big discussion - about the newly appeared white-bearded old Taoist.

  "That old man is incredibly powerful! We didn't even see him move, but that tiger flew to the side and crashed into a tree, spitting out a lot of blood!"

  "Right, right! I don't even know when he came over, anyway, in the blink of an eye, he just appeared!"

  "Is it really that fierce?"

  "It's just that powerful! I reckon it's even more powerful than our leader!"

  "Impossible! Besides the Holy Mother, our leader is the most formidable!"

  "I'm telling the truth!"

  ……

  Listening to these people's words, Bai Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly.

  "What's the big deal about our leader being the most powerful? Our leader is a unique individual, but it depends on who you compare him to! That's the great Hongjun, the first disciple of the Sage, the venerable Taiching!"

  That's right, the immortal who suddenly appeared and saved Sui Ren Shi and Bai Ye was indeed Laozi. Of course, Laozi had not yet established his teachings for humanity and naturally had not yet become a saint.

  However, whether he founded a religion or not, this is a super master who can kill an entire nation with one palm, which is beyond the guess of his own people.

  A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and it's really true!

  "Everyone from the tribe, let's all calm down first!"

  Suirenshi let out a loud shout, and waited until everyone had calmed down before continuing: "That old man is indeed much more powerful than me, many times over! I can confirm that! What we're discussing now is how to arrange for the old man to stay with us for a while, as he said he wanted to."

  Upon hearing what the Fire Emperor said, everyone stopped arguing over who was more powerful between the leader and the old man, and instead began discussing arrangements for the old man.

  Nowadays, the human tribe has a leader, but it's not a system where the leader decides everything. Instead, everyone discusses and decides together. Of course, it's impossible for nearly 10,000 people to discuss together. The participants in the discussion include the 4th-level Huo, those four 2nd-level humans, dozens of 1st-level humans, and also Bai Ye.

  Actually, speaking of it, Bai Ye is not qualified to participate in the discussion. However, since Lao Zi also saw him today, Suirenshi let him join in and express his opinions as well.

  "Since the old man is going to live here, then let him live here."

  "That's right, since he saved our leader, we should repay him. Give him a room!"

  "Really? Isn't it said in the message left by the Holy Mother that we should pay respects to people wearing this kind of attire... uh, Taoist robes?"

  Nüwa created humans and made them sacred, then immediately left. However, before leaving, she also used her divine powers to leave some basic knowledge of the primordial chaos with humanity, although most of it was not very detailed.

  For example, everyone knows that Bai Ye has been in a coma for ten years, but what is a year? How long is a year? Why is it called a year? Nobody knows! They just suddenly have a feeling at that time: A year has passed!

  Similarly, everyone knows to pay respects to a being called the "Xianren", knowing that Xianren seems very powerful, but how powerful exactly? More powerful than the leader? Nobody knows.

  That's why someone came up with the ridiculous idea that "except for the Holy Mother who gave birth to humans, the leader is the strongest".

  Of course, there is no White Night.

  "I think no matter how we respect him, it's not excessive!"

  Everyone heard the words and turned their heads to look at Bai Ye, with a look of surprise on their faces.

  Suiren said: "Bai Ye, my clansman, go on!"

  Bai Ye stepped forward, meeting the gaze of the crowd, and said solemnly: "We are all created by Holy Mother. Whatever instructions Holy Mother gives us, we should follow. Since Holy Mother has left us information to pay respects to this person, we must follow!"

  "And this old man, uh, immortal elder, not only saved our leader! This is a great kindness! To put it mildly, he saved several of us, saved our leader. What if that tiger hadn't eaten its fill after eating a few of us and came to our base? Wouldn't our entire tribe be finished?! So to put it grandly, the immortal elder actually saved our entire human tribe!"

  "We must repay kindness! We can't respect him enough! Not only should we give him a house, but also food and water! Without him lifting a hand, we'll divide it among ourselves! If everyone is unwilling, I'm willing to give him my share of food, and I'll go find more myself!"

  Everyone fell silent for a moment. After a while, there was sound again.

  "White Night is right." Suiren said, "That old man, oh, it's the immortal elder. That immortal elder has great kindness to us, we should thank him heavily! Let's do as White Night says, houses, food, water, whatever we have, we'll give him everything. No need to divide White Night's gains, this is our human tribe's gratitude!"

  Everyone looked at each other and said: "It's settled then."

  The matter was discussed and everyone left the house one after another. Just as Bai Ye was about to leave, Zhu Rong suddenly said: "Bai Ye, come here!"

  Bai Ye didn't know why, but naturally without hesitation, walked to the side of Suirenshi. At this time, there were only two people left in the house, him and Suirenshi.

  But then Sui Ren Zhe took out a small arm-length blood tooth and handed it over, saying: "This is for you."

  "Leader, what are you doing?"

  This Blood Tooth is actually a Spiritual Treasure spat out from the mouth of that Tiger Demon!

  At that time, Laozi appeared, and the tiger demon saw it. Its eyes were filled with fear, and it struggled to support its heavily injured body, limping and stumbling as it fled far away. It didn't even bother to pick up the Blood Tooth Spirit Treasure that had fallen to the ground! Laozi also didn't pay attention to the tiger demon, letting it leave, and simply waved his hand gently. Everyone's bodies immediately recovered.

  Suirenshi picked up the blood teeth from the ground and wanted to hand them over to Laozi, but Laozi didn't want them, saying they were of no use to him. Then he made a request: he wanted to stay with the human tribe for a while. So everyone led Laozi back to their residence, and the blood teeth naturally returned to Suirenshi.

  I didn't expect Suirenshi to actually hand over this spiritual treasure to Bái Yè!

  Facing the surprise of the white night, Suiren smiled and said: "This is the harvest of this hunt, it's only natural to give it to you!"

  "But shouldn't this be given to someone else? This time hunting, I didn't even exert much effort!"

  Nowadays, people live in a communal society where everything is distributed equally. If there's not enough to go around, it can't be divided, so it's allocated based on contribution - whoever contributes the most gets the most.

  So Suirenshi's decision was extremely strange in the eyes of Bainen, this completely didn't follow the rules!

  "This is what you deserve!" Suirenshi smiled and said: "If it weren't for you blocking us, holding off that fierce beast for a moment, we would have been dead already!" As he spoke, he handed the Blood Tooth to Bai Ye.

  In the eyes of Suirenshi, Bai Ye can be said to be a standard good seedling of human race!

  After being in a coma for ten years, as soon as he woke up, he thought about making contributions to the development of the human tribe, without regard for his own body. In the first hunt, he was diligent and very enthusiastic, facing fierce beasts, standing out and protecting the people of the tribe - this is exactly what the human tribe needs!

  He is too satisfied!

  With the spiritual treasure thrust into his hand by Suirenshi, he hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not return it. Instead, he solemnly declared: "I will definitely use it to protect humanity!"

  [System Message: You have received a Spiritual Treasure from the Human Tribe Leader, Suī.]

  The Fire Emperor nodded in great satisfaction, then slightly furrowed his brow and said: "You shouldn't take it too seriously either. Although this thing is very powerful, we can't use it! It can only be effective by relying on its sharpness!"

  "Can't use it?!" Bai Ye was taken aback and immediately checked the Blood Tooth in his hand.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, this blood tooth's exterior looks ordinary, just like those in a tiger's mouth, but it doesn't have any of the bloody aura and power from back then, not even flying through the air.

  Like Matou nozomu, Shirai is also unusable.

  [System Message: You do not meet the usage conditions for this spiritual treasure and cannot use it.]

  Suiren saw Baili's face full of discontent and comforted him, "Don't worry. This thing called a treasure seems to require a special way of using it, our human tribe doesn't know how to use it either. Like this rod for creating humans, I also don't know how to use it!"

  As he spoke, he had already pulled out a rattan strip from his waist.
