I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 467 - 197: Huo Chang: Steal Techniques? Steal My Ass, I Am My Own Master!

Upon hearing that they could cultivate by following the Ancestral Temple Keeper, each of the ten young people showed excitement.

Besides these ten young people, Shen Can also met with the young tribe members who previously participated in the trials in batches.

Even the one who came last in the trials, yes, an unlucky fellow, who fell into a ground fissure right after entering the mountain.

He was stuck inside for several days hungry before climbing up, only to encounter a pack of Tusked Wolves.

After a hand-to-hand fight with the Tusked Wolves, he was beaten while running away, forcing him to fire a signal arrow.

In the end, he deservedly earned the last place with a score of ’zero’.

Oh right, the unlucky guy’s name is Yan Chong.

When Shen Can met these young people, he inquired in detail about their cultivation situation and preferences.

And indeed, among these many young people, quite a few were actually interested in becoming artisans and other craftsmen.

Shen Can highly valued such youths; martial arts cultivation is important, but for a tribe, weaving and clothing, forging and pottery, basket weaving and herb gathering are all indispensable.

Young people should do what they like, and now the Blazing Flame Tribe can allow some tribe members to do what they love.

In the Blazing Flame Division now, these young people’s cultivation interests are being encouraged, and arrangements are being made for tribe members to go on patrols.

Of course, the patrols of tribe members aren’t as relatively free, requiring a unified arrangement within the tribe to travel through the tribe’s trade flying ships.

In the process of large-scale modification of the clan land, a lot of minerals, Spirit Wood firewood, beast bones, and so on are needed.

Aside from the tribe members looking for them themselves, most are exchanged from various places in Yongyi.

There’s no other choice; relying solely on oneself is not as fast as bulk purchasing; with a large quantity, a single barter can get tens of thousands of units of ore.

Therefore, to speed up the construction of the clan land, the tribe has begun large-scale trade with the outside world.

In Shen Can’s plan, during the reconstruction and new construction of settlements, wizards will integrate Witch Talisman Spirit Bans into new houses to form a Witch Array.

In case of unexpected situations, each settlement can independently become a corresponding small defensive area.

Moreover, he has long planned the overall layout; although each settlement is an independent whole, they are all the foundations of the tribe’s overall Grand Array.

Currently, the tribe does not have the capability to connect all these settlement Witch Arrays to form an overall defensive Grand Array, but this does not mean it won’t have the capability in the future.

After all settlements are rebuilt, they will have the preliminary defensive capability against natural disasters.

This also prevents the Blazing Flame from just being promoted to the Bo Division, only to encounter floods, droughts, or plagues causing unexpected damage to the tribe.

Shen Can does not wish to start over again, so the reconstruction of the settlements is meticulously planned.

The locations for the houses are pre-surveyed, and the Witch Talisman Spirit Bans integrated during construction are based on mountain and water terrain.

In his preset, this is only the first step, and the foundations will continue to be reinforced in the future.

The reason the Ancestral Land can become the Ancestral Land is because it withstood destruction time and again; others were wiped out, leaving only themselves.

To achieve excellence, a large amount of resources naturally needs to be expended; if the tribe’s production is insufficient, they need to purchase from outside.

Currently, the Blazing Flame Tribe’s main trade resources with the outside world fall into four categories.

The first is hemp cloth; the tribe has set up many looms and selected over two thousand Weaver Girls, starting large-scale hemp weaving under the leadership of the Weaver Girl.

The second category is large wild beast meat and some selected wild beast cubs.

Thanks to the tribe’s cultivation of the Desolate Beast Battle Body Technique, finding wild beasts in the Giant Mountain Range is very easy.

Besides hunting wild beasts in the Giant Mountain Range, the tribe has also initiated a large-scale domestication plan.

The current main herd domestication includes five large and five small, a total of ten species.

The five large ones are the Antelope Qilin Beast, Mountain-Splitting Kui, Great-Horned Deer, Cyan Qilin Dragon Blood Horse, and Moon-Gazing Unicorn Rhinoceros.

The five small ones are Desolate Rabbit, Wild Sheep, pheasant, ducks, and raccoon slave.

The domestication of large wild beasts is partly for bloodline purification, to cultivate more suitable martial artist war steeds.

Among the small wild beasts, except for the raccoon slave, the remaining four types are for meat, eggs, and milk resources.

The selected few are mainly due to their low strength yet high reproductive rates, allowing them to form large groups without becoming a threat.

The types of wild beasts in the Giant Mountain Range are extraordinarily varied, but most have mottled bloodlines, and in any given area, only a few might share close bloodlines, making cultivation too costly.

Thus, selecting those with numerous populations makes propagation and cultivation easier.

Currently, this domestication is still at an initial stage, so most of the large wild beast meat for sale comes from mountain hunts, of all sorts.

As for wild beast cubs, many have mottled bloodlines, and once mature, they are generally at the Mountain Opening Realm level, with little cultivation value.

These wild beasts aren’t particularly rare in the Blazing Flame, but in Yongyi, it’s a different story; many people like fluffy, shiny things.

Especially some small wild foxes and wild raccoon slaves, even within the Blazing Flame Tribe, many tribe members keep wild raccoon slaves.

In Yongyi, those women from the Bo Division and Upper-class Tribes particularly prize them.

The third category is beast hides.

Currently, the tribe has produced mulberry paper, combined with a huge increase in hemp cloth production, reducing the demand for beast hide clothing.

This portion of beast hide has become the resources for sale.

The fourth category is the unique Witch Medicine from the mountains, such as those full of Yang Qi in the sandy areas.
