Old man Lin was solemn and dignified, informing the two in front of him about the precautions to be aware of.
Of course, Liu Village has just been established and the overall structure is still very simple, so there is nothing particular to take note of at the moment.
As for some details, Old man Lin needs to consult the Lord Willow God early tomorrow morning before deciding.
But regardless of any aspect, reverence for the Lord Willow God must be placed first, and this needs to be emphasized.
The two from the Native Tribe naturally didn’t dare to protest against Old man Lin’s demands and agreed to everything.
“Village Chief, the Old One also has an inconvenient request tonight… could we have a chance to meet the Deity of Worship of our village tomorrow?”
The old Clan Leader of the Native Tribe rubbed the calluses on his hand, changed his address immediately, and respectfully referred to Old man Lin as the Village Chief.
Although he was much older than Old man Lin and looked even more vicissitudinous, it’s crucial for a person to know his position.
This is Liu Village, a mysterious village of just eight people, but two of them are capable of extraordinary things, unlike the Native Tribe.
If he wants to spend his remaining years here in the future, he must recognize his identity. He can no longer be the respected old Clan Leader of the tribe. From this moment on, he must be like any other ordinary person.
Old man Lin certainly noted the change in tone and gently nodded his head.
The other party’s sensible demeanor would make it easier to manage affairs in the future.
“This needs to wait until the Old One consults the Lord Willow God tomorrow to respond to you.” Old man Lin did not directly agree to the question of the old Clan Leader of the Native Tribe.
He has no authority to make promises on behalf of the Lord Willow God.
“Then we will have to trouble the Village Chief.” The old Clan Leader of the Native Tribe hurriedly thanked him. “The Old One has lived almost a lifetime and is quite dull, having never seen the Deity of Worship with my own eyes. If I could have the chance today, I would die without regrets!”
Tears welled up in the old man’s eyes. As a former head of the tribe, his lifelong wish had been to seek the protection of a deity.
“You all don’t need to be like this. If the Lord Willow God wants to see you, there’s no need for me to say anything more. But if he doesn’t want to see you, I dare not say anything. You all just wait patiently.” Old man Lin waved his hand. Although he understood the other party’s feelings, he couldn’t speak too much about the Lord Willow God.
After discussing the main matters, they chatted casually for a while, mostly with Old man Lin asking and the old Clan Leader of the Native Tribe answering. Although he had agreed to let these refugees join him, Old man Lin still needed to understand the basic situation.
For example, how did their tribe fall to this state.
After learning that it was because of the monsters in the black fog, Old man Lin couldn’t help but sigh.
He had experienced the black fog himself. If he hadn’t been fortunate enough to meet the Lord Willow God, he probably would have ended up even worse than these people, and would have long been devoured by those monsters by now.
After getting a grasp of the basic situation, Old man Lin and the old Clan Leader of the Native Tribe started chatting casually.
Though the old Clan Leader of the Native Tribe was not very powerful, he had seen a lot and had more knowledge than Old man Lin.
Importantly, he also possessed a recipe for an Ancient Pill for body refining, a treasure that the previous Clan Leader of the Native Tribe had obtained by a stroke of luck and had been preserved to this day.
This excited Old man Lin greatly.
With the formula for the body refining pill and the Ferocious Beast Blood, he could foresee that the future of Liu Village could be very promising.
The old Clan Leader of the Native Tribe was straightforward. Seeing Old man Lin’s interest, he immediately offered the pill recipe.
Though valuable, this item was useless to him. The only reason he had kept it till now was as a keepsake.
Now that the entire tribe was on the verge of collapse, if he could bring some hope to himself and his people by sacrificing this, the value of the pill recipe would not have gone to waste.
“How could I accept this?” Old man Lin’s eyes lit up. Although he said that, he didn’t hesitate to take the recipe directly. After quickly glancing through it, he carefully tucked it into the pocket of his Beast Robe, keeping it safe and secure. Perhaps the relationship was brought closer by the body refining pill recipe, as Old man Lin and the old Clan Leader of the Native Tribe hit it off, conversing into the night.
In the end, were it not for the old Clan Leader of the Native Tribe’s lack of energy, they probably would have talked all night.
On the way back from Old man Lin’s place.
The old Clan Leader of the Native Tribe grabbed the strongest member of their tribe who was walking by his side.
“Ah Min, from today on, you should stop addressing the Old One as Clan Leader.”
“If I don’t call you Clan Leader, what should I call you?” The strongest member of the Native Tribe scratched his head, not quite understanding.
“Just call me Uncle. Your father and the Old One were good brothers who fought side by side in the past.”
The next day, early in the morning.
The dawn broke, casting strands of colorful light onto the Mortal World.
Old man Lin got up early and called Lin Zhuang and the others to go up the mountain for worship.
After the worship was over, Old man Lin reported the request of the old Clan Leader of the Native Tribe to Jiang Hui, and also asked Jiang Hui for advice on how to arrange for their settlement and details.
Jiang Hui wasn’t used to taking decisions in his previous life, so after he agreed to the request of the old Clan Leader of the Native Tribe, he left the details to Old man Lin to handle.
However, he still needed to give Old man Lin a hint about the general direction of the future.
After deep thought through this period.
He planned to draw a distinct line between his believers in the future and create the category of Disciples.
All disciples would be equal without any distinction of class or status, and any kind of creature could join, but there would be strict limitations on quantity and judgment standards.
The two most important judgment criteria would be.
First, the Faith Value of the believer.
This could be checked by Jiang Hui. The higher the Faith Value, the more loyal they were to him.
Loyal people have always been rare. They should be treated well.
The second criterion is talent, which doesn’t need further explanation.
In ancient times, a Saint used to have three thousand disciples, with even more listeners.
Jiang Hui planned to follow suit.
Liu Village won’t always have the same people. It will evolve into a grand organization with an unknown number of individuals, something he needs to consider sooner or later.
Furthermore, setting up the category of Disciples could motivate the believers, serving two purposes at once.
“Lord Willow God, our village only has a small population. Will it be too cumbersome to divide them into Disciples?” Old man Lin unusually made his own suggestion.
“Disciples do not have hierarchies. They only serve as a means to encourage everyone to work hard. Humans are not all the same, there will always be a few who are not content with the ordinary, who want to become superior to others, who want to witness the true wonders of this world…”
Jiang Hui spoke thoughtfully..
