Chapter 2461: A Primitive Society
Ning Shu’s life was very simple. She would carry Zhenzhen out to gather herbs and bask in the sun while at it.
It wasn’t good for people to never get sunshine, especially for children like Zhenzhen who lacked sources of vitamin D.
Afterward, she would learn how to create demonic poison insects from the high priest.
Ning Shu completely discarded the idea of taking the spirit stone. When she passed the shrine every day and saw the stone statue, she would silently sigh.
She’d already gotten a piece. She couldn’t be too greedy.
It was already hard for these people to survive on the stone’s capability.
Ning Shu hammered at her chest and went to the high priest’s home to learn how to refine demonic poison insects.
However, the high priest’s house would really frighten people. There were all kinds of bizarre things like intertwined snakes kept in a water tank.
Seeing things like that really gave her goosebumps.
The high priest said that he would give Ning Shu the position of high priest in the future. Ning Shu waved her hand saying that he should forget about it.
In the village, the position of the high priest was exalted, but Ning Shu wasn’t interested.
The high priest sighed and expressed his understanding. He said that Ning Shu’s body was normal and that she could leave at any time.
He repeatedly lamented about who should be entrusted with his skills.
Poisonous insects could not only harm people, but they also save them. For example, if someone contracted a disease that would cause parts of their body to rot, the insects could help. They would eat the dying flesh.
However, this kind of demonic poison insect wasn’t easy to cultivate.
The high priest position was passed from generation to generation and many skills were also passed down.
Ning Shu noticed that many people in the village were related to each other by marriage, and it was even possible that many close relatives were married to each other.
Had not a single person who wasn’t afraid of the sun ever emerged?
Ning Shu was still honestly learning how to create demonic poison insects. Apart from some nauseating things, Ning Shu was very happy with learning the process.
Ever since he went out to pursue Xuan Yuanhao to get the spirit stone back, the high priest’s health had been getting worse and worse, and he didn’t have much energy.
The high priest said it was sun damage.
Ning Shu: …
The high priest selected a smart young child from the village as his successor.
Many of the villagers wanted their children to become the high priest.
Ning Shu was quite curious about why the high priest had no children of his own.
The high priest explained that high priests wouldn’t get married or form a family. They had to give their all to the village.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. That was too inhumane.
However, the high priest said that being given such a revered position came with a price. The more one wanted to go higher, the more they had to give in return.
After thinking, Ning Shu felt that this made sense. Nobody would revere beggars and hooligans from the street.
They would revere successful people because successful people had made great efforts and sacrifices.
Ning Shu was given preferential treatment to some extent because she had saved this village.
The days passed peacefully. Zhenzhen could now sit up on her own and crawl around.
The high priest held Zhenzhen and said that he would let Zhenzhen marry a handsome young man from the village.
Ning Shu: →_ →
Xuan Yuanhao and Xiao Ke came looking for the village, but they couldn’t find it.
The village seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
The terrain was very complicated. After walking in the maze-like mountains and forests for a long time, they got lost.
It was Xiao Ke’s quick-wittedness and good luck that finally allowed them to escape.
