Chapter 604: The Settlement of Changle

With just this simple sentence, Changle made everyone in the Xuanyuan Tribe incredibly excited; one by one, they stood up, staring at Changle in disbelief: "Is what you said true? But what kind of connection could there be between these things?"

Changle shook his head and said nothing. Baifeng had already signaled that it was appropriate to reveal some information about breeding, so Changle was not afraid of making the people of Huaxia dissatisfied. However, their relationship had not yet reached that level, so specific details could not be revealed yet.

Xuanyuan stopped looking at Changle and instead sat down, staring at Baifeng: "Are you willing to teach us the breeding technology?"

Baifeng answered with a smile: "I can, but not now. Because this is considered the most important thing for our Huaxia, it certainly won't be handed over to you so easily."

Xuanyuan clenched his fists: "Then what are the conditions, and what is the price required?"

Baifeng told Xuanyuan not to be anxious: "For the time being, I don't think the Xuanyuan Tribe has anything that can be exchanged for our breeding technology. However, finding new seeds is indeed closely related to breeding. New food seeds can be considered one of the prices for breeding technology."

Xuanyuan glanced at Changle again: "That is to say, we must let your son come to our Xuanyuan Tribe to identify our Grass and trees one by one, right?"

Baifeng shook his head again and explained: "No, this is not a necessary condition, nor is it something I am using to coerce you. Whether he goes or not depends on your own attitude. However, I can guarantee that discovering new seeds, even if they are not related to food, can bring great benefits to your Xuanyuan Tribe. If a suitable new food seed is found, then it will be extremely beneficial for both of our tribes."

Qibo asked: "I still don't quite understand what you mean; it's a bit confusing."

Baifeng did not beat around the bush: "Changle's job is to search for and record various new Grass and trees. Among these new Grass and trees, there may be species that can serve as food. At the same time, if we find Grass and trees that have a kinship with the food we are currently planting, then this new type of Grass and tree will be of great help to the cultivation of our current food seeds."

"And the price I mentioned is nothing else but new seeds. If no new seeds are found in your Xuanyuan Tribe, we will teach you the technology for free, but once they are found, you can use these new crops to exchange for our technology."

Xuanyuan lowered his head in thought to digest Baifeng's words, while Changxian was somewhat dissatisfied: "How can we know if your son has found a new crop?"

Before Baifeng could speak, Changle said with some excitement: "I generally won't take your things away. Everything will remain in your Xuanyuan Tribe. The only thing I will take away is the record book I write. When I leave, you can search the things I carry to see if there are any Wax Seeds inside that shouldn't be taken away."

Changxian was left speechless by Changle's words. Although doing so was reasonable, it made him seem very impolite.

Seeing that the people of the Xuanyuan Tribe were a bit embarrassed, Baifeng added: "This is a necessary thing to do. We can write it into the contract. Moreover, when the people of your tribe living in our Huaxia leave, they also need to be searched. We don't care about other things, but food seeds absolutely cannot be taken out."

"Doing this is fine, but that means the technology you mentioned does not include your current food seeds, and you will only tell us how to cultivate them, right?" Xuanyuan asked.

Baifeng nodded firmly: "That is certain. Our current food seeds are what our entire tribe spent over a decade cultivating to reach their current state. The cost during this period was truly too great, so it is impossible to just hand them over to others casually. We can teach you the cultivation technology, which needs to be exchanged for your current food seeds and any new food seeds discovered in the future. You already have a shortcut to take; if things go smoothly, you might reach our current level in a few years."

The people of the Xuanyuan Tribe began to lower their heads and whisper to each other, discussing the pros and cons of this matter. What they cared about most was that even if they obtained Huaxia's breeding technology, they would always lag behind Huaxia, which made them very unhappy. However, they had no other way because they had no clue at all. But now, they only needed to pay a small price to learn this technology; although it would be worse than Huaxia's, it would still be much better than their current situation.

Thus, after the group discussed for a while, Xuanyuan made the final decision: "Fine, that's no problem. Your son can come to our Xuanyuan Tribe to search for new Grass and trees, but when he leaves, he must undergo our inspection to confirm that he is not carrying anything else before he can leave."

Hearing this, Changle could no longer suppress his excitement, but he did not speak out because there were still other conditions that his father needed to negotiate.

A thick smile appeared on Baifeng's face: "Good, but I still have some conditions that I hope you can satisfy."

Xuanyuan said suspiciously: "Fine, tell me first."

Baifeng pointed at Changle and Yulong: "I only have two women and three descendants, two of whom are men. Therefore, no matter which one it is, I do not want them to be in danger. So, when my son Changle is exploring your tribe's territory to search for new seeds, I hope you can send enough Soldiers to protect him. Of course, I can provide food, supplies, and Weapon assistance to those Soldiers protecting Changle. At the same time, I also hope you can allow Changle's guard Soldiers to accompany him."

Xuanyuan pressed his hand on the table. This condition was not very difficult for him, but having a team of Soldiers from another tribe on his territory always made him feel uncomfortable.

"How many guard Soldiers does your son have?"

Baifeng held out one hand: "Fifty people. These fifty people can ensure that my son will not be killed by wild beasts in the wilderness, but they cannot pose any threat to your Xuanyuan Tribe. Fifty people, facing the tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand Soldiers of your Xuanyuan Tribe, are nothing more than a small pebble falling into the water."

Xuanyuan suddenly felt relieved, but he was still a bit puzzled: "Your son is so important to you, why only send fifty Soldiers? Aren't you afraid that our Soldiers will threaten your son?"

Baifeng said with a smile: "My Soldiers are used to kill wild beasts, not to attack friends. Besides, unless I let tens of thousands of Soldiers follow him, what is the difference between fifty and five hundred in your Xuanyuan Tribe?"

"Not to mention anything else, I believe you would not let your tribesmen harm my son. The Xuanyuan Tribe certainly doesn't want to go to war with our Huaxia, right?"

Xuanyuan also smiled and said: "Of course, our Xuanyuan Tribe and Huaxia will only be friends, not enemies."
