On this journey, they encountered quite a few small tribes and factions, which reminded them of the previous tribe. However, they had no idea where it was now, as these small tribes were almost always nomadic.

Since the two set out, they definitely wouldn’t return to that tribe again. It’s not that they were indifferent; even in the Zi Wei Sect, Ye Luo couldn’t stay.

They didn’t travel far before coming across an ancient tribe.

The reason it’s called ancient is because this tribe must be indigenous to the South Territory. After all, these indigenous people are easy to distinguish from the outsider cultivators.

Due to the harsh environment, the appearance of these indigenous people is mostly rough. Even the women have unbearable skin!

However, there’s one thing: their physical bodies are quite strong. Even if they don’t understand any cultivation, they can still rely on their physical strength to resist cultivators of the Spirit Martial Realm. Some, with outstanding talent, can even contend with masters of the Earth Martial Realm. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In fact, this harsh environment is akin to keeping them in perpetual cultivation.

But there are differences among the indigenous people. For example, Zi Wei is also indigenous, yet stunningly beautiful, resembling a fairy.

Soon, these people discovered Ye Luo and Nuonuo’s presence. Here, the competition between cultivators isn’t as fierce as it is on Mt. Sumeru.

Moreover, most of these indigenous people are kind-hearted, offering help to cultivators in distress.

Like now, seeing Ye Luo and Nuonuo so young, they believed they were cultivators in distress and enthusiastically invited them into the tribe, offering them hot meals.

In fact, only indigenous people maintain such a lifestyle. For cultivators, there’s no need for such food; consuming elixirs and treasures that restore spiritual power is vastly different from eating such things.

But for Ye Luo, it reminded him of his time on Earth.

In the cold wind, a warm meal is a delight! So, Ye Luo sat with the indigenous people in the tent, savoring hot meals and strong wine, feeling utterly content! Of course, the food and wine couldn’t compare to those on Earth, but Ye Luo was after the feeling itself.

As for Nuonuo, she pinched her nose, occasionally taking a bite and then furrowing her brow.

Even in previous small tribes, she had never eaten such food.

"Young brother, I never thought you wouldn’t mind these things!" A middle-aged man laughed at Ye Luo.

"Haha, Brother Dao’er, such surroundings paired with such food are a perfect match! How could one dislike it?" Ye Luo laughed heartily.

"Alright, young brother! Since you say so, I’ll bring out my treasured wine!" Dao’er, a man of character, immediately left the tent and returned with a large jar of wine.

Inside the tent, there were quite a few tribe members, making the meal lively. Ye Luo thoroughly enjoyed the feeling.

Because they shared genuine connections, with no interest-based entanglements, these people’s lives were far happier than those scheming and solely pursuing cultivation.

This new wine Dao’er brought was indeed different, but once Ye Luo took a sip, his face changed dramatically.

The wine truly contained no spiritual power, but it had the Power of Laws!

What a terrifying wine! Generally, wine containing spiritual power is considered excellent, but wine with the Power of Laws is the first Ye Luo drank!

Of course, if that were all, Ye Luo wouldn’t look so shocked. Many treasures contain the Power of Laws, often far denser than what’s in this wine.

What truly surprised him was that the wine contained a hint of Dao!

Yes, Dao. What is Dao? Ye Luo couldn’t say, but the power of Dao is an elevation of the Power of Laws, beyond the reach of even Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators!

Of course, the wine contained only the natural Dao; then the issue definitely stems from the materials used in brewing.

"Brother Dao’er, this wine is extraordinary!" Ye Luo questioned earnestly.

For indigenous people like Dao’er, straightforwardness is best, for the tribe seems to dislike those deeply scheming individuals.

"Haha, Brother Ye, you may not know, but Brother Dao’er’s wine comes from the Five Dao Ridges. Regular consumption of such wine genuinely prolongs life. Take our tribe, even without cultivating spiritual power, living for several hundred years is easy!" Before Dao’er could speak, a young man slightly older than Ye Luo interjected.

Evidently, Ye Luo left quite a favorable impression on this tribe.

Initially, Ye Luo found it strange that although these people’s physical bodies were robust, living beyond a hundred years was remarkable. But in this tribe, elders of two to three hundred years are common, and their vitality doesn’t falter compared to the young.

It turns out it’s because of the Dao in this wine!

Dao is an elevation of the Power of Laws, but it’s not only cultivators who can comprehend Dao! Even ordinary individuals may chance upon comprehending the essence of Dao!

Of course, the odds are exceedingly slim.

Still, even without comprehension, the transformative impact of Dao on living organisms is significant!

For instance, people in this tribe have gained substantial life extension.

Indeed, if these tribe members understood cultivation, the benefits would be immense!

Wait! Ye Luo suddenly realized! Five Dao Ridges seemed to be the area Zi Wei mentioned was called that very name!

Could it be that the tribe’s wine is connected to Plane Origin Liquid? Even if not directly related, undoubtedly it’s from that region!

In other words, Five Dao Ridges truly exists.

"Brother Dao’er, to be honest, I am heading to Five Dao Ridges to seek Plane Origin Liquid to save a friend!" Ye Luo immediately remarked.

Dao’er was startled, "Plane Origin Liquid? What’s that?"

Ye Luo was equally surprised, quickly realizing that perhaps only the Empire of Zhongzhou refers to it as Plane Origin Liquid, and indigenous people might not know the name.

"In any case, I haven’t seen it, but my friend needs it to survive. Apparently, the source is at Five Dao Ridges!"

"I see!" Dao’er wasn’t concerned, "That’s excellent! Moreover, we’re planning to go there soon. It’s fortunate that Five Dao Ridges will reappear soon, and our tribe plans to acquire more good wine, essential for our tribe’s longevity!"
