Chapter 757: Come, let's exchange

But because the amount they brought is limited, and the trading fair occurs only once a year.

With so many land tribes participating, each tribe gets only a little.

Therefore, sea products and pearls have always been very precious in the land tribes.

Some tribes even use pearls to measure the value of goods.

Now, seeing so much precious sea produce and pearls piled on the deck, as if they were ordinary items.

Even the usually calm Kuma chief is no longer calm now.

At this moment, the two remaining chiefs have already boarded the ship.

Faced with the piles of sea goods and pearls before them, their reaction is not much better than the Kuma chief's.

Faced with the trading request of the three chiefs, Wu Yue did not immediately agree.

Instead, she turned and walked toward the cabin entrance below, saying: "Chiefs, please follow me."

Hearing this, the three reluctantly tore their gazes away from the sea goods and pearls.

They followed her, taking three steps back for every step forward.

The cabin light is dim.

However, for the Beastfolk who can see in the night, it has no effect.

Moreover, the cabin walls have glowing pearls that provide illumination.

"Beast God above!"

"This... this is all..."

Exclamations and sharp intakes of breath sounded in the cabin.

"Chiefs, these are also sea goods we brought from the Bai Sha Yan Hai."

The Kuma chief stared in disbelief at the bamboo tubes filling the entire cabin before him.

"Shaman... Shaman Yue, don't tell me this... this is all salt?"

The two chiefs beside him also looked shocked in unison.

They are very familiar with these bamboo jars before them.

Any tribe that has traded with the Snow Moon Tribe knows this.

The salt that comes from their tribe, with no impurities or bitterness, is uniformly packed in these bamboo jars.

Such pure salt is extremely precious.

Therefore, each time they bring some back, only the Great Shaman and the tribe's top echelon can eat it.

Ordinary tribespeople still eat that bitter, impure salt, which can cause illness, discomfort, or even death if consumed in excess.

Wu Yue nodded: "Yes, all the sea salt packed in these bamboo jars in the cabin is pure."

"It was prepared jointly by our Snow Moon Tribe and the Sea Eel Tribe."

"Our Snow Moon Tribe's large ship brings it to all the land tribes for exchange."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the breathing of the several chiefs beside her become heavier.

"Shaman Yue, we the Kuma Tribe want all the salt in your cabin."

The Kuma chief spoke first.

His eyes were red at this moment.

Although there is a lot of this sea salt, if it is to supply the whole tribe,

it may not even last until next year.

As a super tribe of the Yun Wu Shan Mai, their population is truly too large.

Moreover, they need to reserve some for the stronger subordinate tribes within their territory.

Thinking this, the Kuma Tribe feels these salts are far from enough.

The Kuma chief regrets that Shaman Yue brought too little salt.

The two chiefs beside him, however, were vying to speak.

"Shaman Yue, don't listen to that old fellow."

"Our Yun Wu Shan Mai is not just their Kuma Tribe."

"You also need to give us some for our two tribes."

The two felt individually they were not as strong as the Kuma Tribe.

Faced with the temptation of sea salt, they actually chose to join forces in perfect unison.

The Kuma chief saw the two chiefs acting like they were breathing from the same nostril.

His nose was about to crook from anger.

"Shaman Yue, the relationship between our Kuma Tribe and your Snow Moon Tribe has always been good..."

Before he could finish his appeal to sentiment,

the two chiefs beside him also launched a barrage.

"Trade is trade; don't drag in whether relations are good or not."

"Are we paying less in hides or what?"

The Kuma chief's face darkened.

"If you ask me, we should just listen to what Shaman Yue has to say."

The sturdy, bearded Beastfolk chief turned his head to look at Wu Yue, who stood aside watching the commotion with relish.

Suddenly called out, Wu Yue embarrassedly rubbed her nose.

"I can allocate one-third of this sea salt for trade with the three chiefs."

The three were dumbfounded: "..."

They want that one‑third?

They want everything!

Wu Yue ignored the three people's resentful looks and continued: "Our Snow Moon tribe now has only one large ship."

So the amount of goods we can bring is relatively small.

But as our fleet expands, the seafood and pearls we bring will increase more and more.

Even if the three chiefs want something.

You can tell the tribespeople who come to trade, and we can even designate a separate ship to transport whatever your tribe needs.

The three chiefs were made to have the whole chicken frozen by Wu Yue's smooth enjoyment.

Each one looked at her with eyes shining.

As if silently asking when that special ship could be produced.

Wu Yue lightly coughed: "Of course, our fleet also needs a little help from the three chiefs."

The three looked at her with questioning eyes: "Shaman Yue, please speak."

Wu Yue smiled: "I hope the three chiefs can help spread the news of our trading fleet to every tribe in the Yun Wu Shan Mai."

"As much as possible, let more tribes know."

"If possible, if we can go to other regions."

"Hopefully we can also transmit our fleet's news there."

The three chiefs nodded: "Yes, our super tribe goes every year to other regions to recruit excellent Beastman Warriors and Shamans."

"We will help spread the news out."

Wu Yue nodded: "As thanks, for the next three years, each time the fleet brings goods,"

"Besides sea salt, the three major tribes can have first pick."

"The quantity is also limited to one‑third of all the goods."

"Regardless of when, being given preferential treatment is always a pleasant thing."

After learning that the trade would start in five days,

the three chiefs hurriedly disembarked and organized the tribespeople to spread the news to each tribe.

"Of course, it goes without saying that they would secretly first notify their own subordinate tribes."

"When there's a good thing, one naturally thinks of one's own people first."

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

By then, the banks of the Lin River already had several large tents set up.

The Snow Moon tribe's people unloaded the cargo brought by the large ship.

They carried the items separately into different tents.

In the Yun Wu Shan Mai, the various tribes that had received the news of the three super tribes also hurried over.

The banks of the Lin River were now extremely lively.

Looking at the snow‑white sea salt displayed after being opened,

Not only were the people of various large, medium, and small tribes,

but even the super tribe members who had been waiting at the side exclaimed in amazement.

The trade fair did not last long.

It ended in less than a day.

And all the goods brought this time were completely exchanged for land‑tribe items that are very rare and precious to the Bai Sha Yan Hai.

To save time,

Wu Yue that very night arranged for the Beastman Warriors to start packing up the tents and goods.

The next morning they prepared to set out and rush back to the Bai Sha Yan Hai.

After this trade,

Wu Yue discovered a major flaw in her desire to conduct water‑borne commerce.
