Chapter 83: The World of Beasts: The Fake Priestess Is Really Cultivating Immortality

In the evening, Chi Meng and the member of the hunting team finally returned to the tribe carrying bundles of harvest.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, illuminating their tired yet satisfied faces.

A member of the hunting team, named Hu Lie, was a tall and strong man with a resolute face. He was looking at the prey in his hands with a smile on his face.

The prey in his hand was a fat goat with smooth fur and delicious meat.

Chi Meng was carrying bundles of herbs and fruits, her face beaming with excitement.

The herbs in her hands were carefully selected by her in the forest, and each one contained rich medicinal value.

Those fruits were discovered by chance in the forest. They were sweet and nutritious.

The two walked to the gate of the tribe and saw that the members of the gathering team had also returned with full loads.

In their hands, they held fruits wrapped in animal skins. The fruits were colorful and looked very tempting.

The females in the gathering team had smiles on their faces as they shared with each other what they had seen and heard in the forest.

The hunting party returned with their prey, which included goats, rabbits, and a huge cow.

The bull was tall and muscular, and it was obviously captured by the hunting team after a fierce battle.

When the tribe leader Hu Zhan saw that everyone had returned, he came out. He was a burly man with a dignified face, and was the leader of the tribe.

He distributed meat and fruit to each family according to their hunting and gathering contributions.

Chi Meng took her portion back home. She walked into the house and placed the herbs and fruits on the stone table.

At this time, Hu Shi and Liu Shiwen had been waiting for a long time, and Liu Shiwen was proud of it. Bloody scratches appeared on her white skin.

If Hu Shi had not forcibly stopped her behavior and tied her up with rattan, it would have been even more excessive and Liu Shiwen's delicate skin would have been destroyed.

"Master Priest, please save Shiwen!"

"She has been feeling extremely itchy since this morning, and no matter how she scratches, it doesn't help."

Chi Meng looked at Liu Shiwen, who was lying on the ground, tied up with vines and trying to use the rough ground to rub her skin to relieve the itching.

At this moment, her long hair was scattered like a chicken coop, her face was painful and hideous, tears and snot were all over her face, and it was obvious that she had been crying.

There wasn't even a trace of the green tea attitude she had towards me yesterday.

Chi Meng pretended to watch for a while, and while everyone's eyes were on herself, she let the little spider crawl into Liu Shiwen's clothes.

Then he sighed with some regret.

"This symptom is like being possessed by an evil spirit. It seems that it needs to be exorcised before it can be cured."

"Why did you get possessed out of nowhere?"

"I don't know. Could it be that the evil spirit entered my body when I was in the wild? It has only manifested now."

"possible."

Several people gathered at the entrance of the cave and talked about it.

Chi Meng took down the equipment that the old priest had returned to its original owner from the wall and inserted the bright feathers on his head.

With a row of neat white teeth bared, he held a stick as thick as his wrist and hit Liu Shiwen again and again.

He was muttering to himself while being beaten.

Liu Shiwen never expected that it was a physical exorcism. She felt itchy and painful on her body, which was both comfortable and uncomfortable.

The whole person rolled on the ground screaming.

But she was nowhere near as quick as Chi Meng, and it took the little spider 20 minutes to remove the poison from her body.

Liu Shiwen had already fainted at this time, and Hu Shi had been watching and tried to stop her several times.

But then I thought that Chi Meng was a priestess, and she must have her reasons for doing this, so I could only force myself to watch the whole thing.

At this moment, his heart was about to break with pain.

Chi Meng pried open Liu Shiwen's mouth and poured a large bowl of therapeutic medicine into her mouth, adding a lot of bitter coptis root.

Liu Shiwen, who had already fainted from the pain, was awakened again by the suffering.

Liu Shiwen was about to start cursing, but she found that her throat was too weak to speak.

When Hu Shi saw this, he hurriedly asked Chi Meng.

"What happened to Shiwen? Why can't she speak?"

"It's nothing. I have dispelled the evil spirit. It's just that the evil spirit has entered her body and injured her. She will be able to speak after a few days of rest."

"Don't worry too much. Take these medicines back. Crush them up and apply them all over her body every day."

"It will be fine in a few days."

Liu Shiwen only felt her body carefully at this moment. The extremely itchy feeling finally dissipated and only pain was left on her body.

Is there really evil in this world?

Liu Shiwen was a little suspicious and looked at Chi Meng with suspicion. She always felt that what happened to her was related to the priest in front of her.

Chi Meng found that Liu Shiwen was looking at her, and gave her a simple and harmless smile, with eyes full of care.

Liu Shiwen looked at this smile and couldn't help but wonder if she was overthinking it.

Soon, the hunting team brought over their dinner, which consisted of two large pieces of beef weighing about 40 kilograms.

Chi Meng doesn't want to eat raw meat, and even more so, doesn't want to eat tasteless barbecue.

Besides, eating too much barbecue can easily cause constipation.

After sending everyone out, he carried two large pieces of meat to the stream, washed them clean, and returned home to put the meat away.

Coming to the stream again, Chi Meng looked carefully this time. As expected, his hard work paid off and he soon found a stone that looked a bit like a stone pot.

It was lying at an angle on a rocky beach, and the impact of the water had created a large natural groove in the middle.

Chi Meng picked it up and cleaned it, and then found a very thin stone slab.

Isn't this a great material for teppanyaki?

Take the stuff back.

He went back and forth a few more times, carried some stones back, and built a simple stove.

If the space could be opened up too much, I would have taken out the cement and built a farmhouse stove.

After doing all this, it was dark. Chi Meng lit the wood from the fire in the big square and went home to cook.

The tinder pile in the big square burns all year round, and there are special people responsible for bringing in new firewood to prevent the fire from going out.

Now they have not yet mastered the ability to make fire by rubbing two woods together. This fire was caused by the last lightning-struck tree.

I'm really convinced.

Chi Meng refined the fat into oil, put it in a stone bowl, and then used the oil residue to make fried meat and wild vegetables on the stone slab, and freshly squeezed beet juice.

After eating, she immediately started practicing body-refining techniques. There was still too little spiritual energy in this world, so she could only start with body refining.

After practicing the exercises over and over again and with the help of elixirs, her body has now reached the second level of Qi Refining.

Chi Meng shook his hand and felt the power in his hand.

Now she was almost as strong as the males in the tribe.

When she woke up in the morning, Chi Meng thought of the bamboo forest she saw yesterday. After washing up in the morning, she set off there.

After arriving at the place, Chi Meng looked at the bamboos that were thicker than his own people. He silently picked up the stone axe and chopped the dream bamboo he had chosen.

Chi Meng cut down five bamboos in the morning, and dragged them back home one by one in the afternoon.

If she had not reached the second level of Qi Refining, she would not have been able to drag such a tall, thick and heavy bamboo.

She did not hide her actions from the people in the tribe, but because of her status as a priest, the people in the tribe were curious but did not ask any questions.

But Liu Shiwen is such an exception.

"Master Priest, what are you doing? Why are you dragging these things back? They can't be eaten or used."

Liu Shiwen blinked her big eyes, with herbs wrapped around her body. She leaned on a crutch and kicked the bamboo lightly with her leg, causing her to grimace in pain.

Chi Meng showed mercy yesterday and did not break her bones, he just made her feel some pain.

"Of course what I brought back will be useful."

Chi Meng resisted the urge to roll her eyes, then ignored her and went about her business of cutting the bamboo into sections. She was afraid that if she looked at Liu Shiwen again she would burst out laughing.

Liu Shiwen felt unhappy when she saw Chi Meng no longer paying attention to her. Later, she thought about it carefully and suddenly she seemed to have thought of something. She looked at the bamboo that Chi Meng was chopping with bright eyes.

She hadn't taken a bath for a long time. These orcs basically never took baths. If they wanted to take a bath, they would go to the river, where the water was so cold. Besides, the orcs would see her taking a bath, which she really couldn't accept.

Although someone was there to give me some information, I still felt insecure.

Chi Meng was speechless when she heard this. She didn't even have any doubts and was just thinking about taking a bath.

Chi Meng began to doubt Liu Shiwen's brain.

After dinner, the orcs were all a bit idle. After all, there were not many entertainment activities in this era.

So what they are most passionate about is making babies at night.

But since Chi Meng brought back so many bamboos, they are no longer keen on making babies. Instead, they all stick their heads out like curious babies, wanting to see what Chi Meng is trying to do.

This noise naturally alarmed the patriarch.

Chief Hu Zhan walked over majestically and looked at Chi Meng with respect in his eyes.

"Priest, what are these knotty trees used for?"

Oh, in the animal world, people call bamboo the joint tree because this bamboo is connected one section at a time.

"Chief, I accidentally discovered that the middle of this gnarled tree is hollow."

"As long as we cut through the joint here, there won't be any leaks underneath."

As he spoke, Chi Meng handed a bamboo tube he had made to the clan leader, asking him to take a good look at it.

The tribe leader Hu Zhan took the bamboo tube handed over by Chi Meng and observed it carefully. His rough fingers gently stroked the bamboo tube, and his eyes flashed with curiosity.

"Priest, is this thing made of knotty tree really as you said, hollow in the middle and not leaking from the bottom?" Tribe leader Hu Zhan looked up at Chi Meng with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Chi Meng nodded and explained with a smile: "Chief, I have tried it myself and it is true. This bamboo tube can be used to hold water, fruits and meat. It is very convenient."

After hearing Chi Meng's explanation, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of clan leader Hu Zhan.

He knew that this discovery was undoubtedly great news for the tribe. In this era of water scarcity, having a tool that can easily carry and store water will greatly improve the living conditions of the tribe.

"Priest, you are really the lucky star of our tribe!" said the tribe leader Hu Zhan with emotion.

"This discovery will make our lives much easier."

He turned to look at the orcs around him and said loudly: "Did everyone hear that? The priest has discovered the wonderful use of the knotty tree. It can be used to make containers for water! This will be a happy event for our tribe!"

After hearing the chief's words, the beastmen cheered. They gathered around Chi Meng, looking at the bamboo tubes curiously, with excited smiles on their faces.

"Master Priest, you are so amazing!"

"Yes, yes, with this, we can have water anytime and anywhere in the future!"

"Master Priest, please teach us how to make this bamboo tube!"

The orcs talked at once, full of admiration and gratitude for Chi Meng.

"Okay, I'll teach you how to make this bamboo tube." Chi Meng said, then he picked up a stone axe and began to demonstrate how to cut down the bamboo joints and open up the gaps between the bamboo joints.

The beastmen watched Chi Meng's movements intently and studied seriously. Soon, they mastered the technique of making bamboo tubes and began to make them by themselves.

For a moment, the tribe was filled with laughter and busy figures. The orcs were excitedly cutting bamboo and making bamboo tubes.

They exchanged their production experiences with each other and shared the joy of success.

As time went on, more and more bamboo tubes were made.

Liu Shiwen rolled her eyes secretly in her heart.

Isn't it just a bamboo tube? What's so great about it? Primitive people are indeed ignorant.

And didn't Hu Yun just create a bamboo tube? He was praised by everyone.

Then she seemed to have thought of something.

He turned and said to Hu Shi who was standing behind him.

"Brother Shi, look at this bamboo, it's a knotty tree."
