She must have heeded the advice Gu Chaoyan had given her the previous day, as her performance today was noticeably improved. Gu Chaoyan found herself in a better mood as long as Aina continued to demonstrate such dedication.

Throughout the trek, Gu Chaoyan occasionally offered valuable insights.

“Aina, Gary is absolutely right. Even when we’re searching for fresh food, we mustn’t act recklessly. It’s crucial to exercise caution and test everything to determine if it’s safe to consume.”

“If it turns out to be poisonous, we could suffer severe consequences. Remember, impulsive actions can be extremely risky,” Gu Chaoyan cautioned Aina, who was eager to act.

Ever since Aina had absorbed Gu Chaoyan’s advice, she had been br.i.m.m.i.n.g with excitement and a desire to take action. Gu Chaoyan couldn’t tolerate any deviation from these important principles.

“Remember, our lives are paramount,” Gu Chaoyan reiterated, raising her voice to emphasize the point. She aimed to instill this essential principle not only in Aina but in all the tribe members.

In just over a day, they reached the location where the cotton grew.

This time, Gu Chaoyan had no intention of transporting cotton trees back to plant. Cotton trees had different soil requirements compared to tomatoes.

When the Five Elements Clan chose their settlement site, they strategically located it near a small river for the sake of daily convenience. However, for cotton trees, they needed a different drying location.

The location they had reached was already quite suitable, eliminating the need to transport cotton trees back for planting themselves.

“Harvest them as I did, and bring them with you!” Gu Chaoyan called out.

“Understood,” the response echoed.

About half of the Five Elements Race, around 50 individuals, worked tirelessly for a day to harvest all the cotton. Each person carried a bag br.i.m.m.i.n.g with the freshly picked cotton.

As night fell, Gu Chaoyan instructed them to choose a suitable resting spot. In the morning, they would carry their harvest back. By the time night approached once again, they would be within reach of the Five Elements Clan. This plan ensured they didn’t waste an extra day outside.

Gu Chaoyan harbored some doubts about the commitment of those who had joined them on the journey. The primary reason was the Thunder Fire Clan’s covetous gaze, fearful that they might exploit the situation.

Throughout the journey, Aina diligently surveyed their surroundings as if on a quest to uncover something valuable. Her motivation seemed driven by a desire to outs.h.i.+ne Gary, considering he had initially discovered the cotton.

However, Aina’s luck didn’t match Gary’s. Discovering a useful item was akin to finding a needle in a haystack. She encountered items that were inedible or had no practical use, with some even being toxic.

Nevertheless, Aina remained undeterred.

Upon reaching the Five Elements Clan, she still refused to give up. Her determination drew a chuckle from Gu Chaoyan. “Don’t be disheartened. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and you can certainly excel when it comes to cotton harvesting.”

“You’re the one who crafted those furs in my home, aren’t you? You did an excellent job.”

“Aina, you should focus on these. Contemplate how to replicate them.”

“Are they similar to the fur of a wild beast?” Aina inquired, her mind already at work.

“Yes.”

“Tribe Chief, I will find a solution,” Aina responded, as if she had been entrusted with a mission.
