There was no mistaking it, this was unmistakable and they all knew what they were;
Qi Stones!
Dara relished in the gazes of the entire tribe as did the First Elder who was shaking the hands of his former assistant.
"Is that what I think it is!?"
Ji Wang abruptly squealed in delight as he slowly approached each of these cloth wrapped loads, looking at all of them almost adoringly.
This is what was going to determine the prosperity of their tribe, and it was right here in front of him.
"Have you guys prepared a place where we can store them?" Dara asked but was met with silence;
"Uncle Min?" Ji Wang had to blurt out before the stunned Uncle Min realized that he had missed the question.
"He is asking for where to store them." Ji Wang repeated;
"Oh! Erm… Um, this way."
Uncle Min turned around and led the group back the way he came through, as Dara walked past Aunt Lin who smiled and winked at him.
