The vicious female Ye Youcha, who is in Shura Field every day

Chapter 386 Sacrifice
She kept planning to clear land for planting along the way, and the rice and corn she had reserved for planting last year were still piled up in the warehouse.

With the snow season over and everything coming back to life, it's the perfect time for sowing.

However, we need to clear the land first.

Last year, I was busy building houses and city walls, then Bai Qi's incident happened, and then I had a baby.

Later, a plague broke out.

There were too many things to do, and by the time everything was resolved, the weather had already turned cold, leaving no extra time for land reclamation.

With these thoughts in mind, I unknowingly arrived at the door of Su Lie's residence.

They bumped right into Su Mu, who was coming out from inside.

Su Mu noticed her instantly and stopped in his tracks: "Hey, little sister, what brings you here at this hour? Do you need to see Father?"

Su Xiyue looked up and saw it was her eldest brother. She smiled and nodded, "Yes, are you here to discuss reclaiming land for farming with Father?"

Su Mu shook his head: "No, Father went to the priest to discuss the spring sacrifice."

She was stunned for a moment. The wolf tribe also had sacrifices?

Why haven't I heard Father mention this?
A quick search of the original owner's memories revealed that such a thing did indeed happen.

The wolf tribe holds a sacrificial ceremony every spring.

Not only the wolf tribe, but all the other tribes on the Beast World continent are the same.

However, the time is not fixed on a specific day.

Instead, they would choose an auspicious day in early spring to pray to the Beast God for favorable weather, abundant hunts, and the safety of their people.

It also celebrates the end of the snow season, the revival of all things, and the upcoming start of the new year's hunting season.

When she transmigrated last year, it was the hottest time of year, so she naturally didn't participate in the spring festival.

As the messenger of the Beast God and the priest's apprentice, I must participate in this annual spring festival.

"Brother, has the priest set a specific time for the sacrificial ceremony?"

She looked at Su Mu and quickly asked.

I wonder if it will coincide with the Dragon Clan's ancestral worship ceremony.

Su Mu frowned. "It's not decided yet. The priest said he needs to do some divination to choose an auspicious day. But I reckon it'll be done in the next few days, it won't take too long."

She breathed a sigh of relief; as long as the timing didn't conflict.

Just as he was about to turn around and go to the priest to find Su Lie, Su Mu suddenly grabbed him.

"Oh, right, little sister."

Su Mu lowered his voice mysteriously, "Are you guys secretly cultivating something? Why did I see Ye Ling, Qing Zhu, and the others flying around on flying swords in the back mountain?"

It's one thing for the younger sister to have special abilities, but as the messenger of the Beast God and the disciple of the old priest, it's normal for her to have some special abilities.

But Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Qing Zhu, and the others were also flying around in the sky on swords, which was abnormal.

Su Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then realized that he meant flying on a sword.

She secretly used her aura-gazing technique to glance at Su Mu and saw that the aura above his head was white.

White represents ordinary fortune, a life of mediocrity.

They secretly checked his aptitude again and found that he had no spiritual root at all.

However, orcs can cultivate even without spiritual roots. According to the system, orcs are the demon cultivators of the cultivation world.

It is entirely possible to cultivate the Demon Codex.

But with Su Mu's talent and luck, there's really no future in cultivating immortality.

She instantly withdrew her Qi-gazing technique, looked at Su Mu, and coughed twice: "Um... Brother, we are indeed cultivating a new ability, but it requires special talent. As for you... it's more realistic to strive to become the tribe's number one warrior."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu's face immediately fell: "Special talent? Could it be another one of those dreams from the Beast God?"

He looked at his younger sister suspiciously. "When you were little, I always helped you hide it from Mom. Now you're playing games with me?"

Su Xiyue chuckled and was about to explain.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the old priest walking out of the courtyard, leaning on his bone cane, followed by Su Lie, who was talking to him.

Su Lie spotted the brother and sister instantly and completely ignored his good-for-nothing son.

Actually, I'm not that unambitious, I'm just a bit ordinary and unremarkable.

Compared to his exceptionally intelligent daughter and seven incredibly talented sons-in-law, this son seemed utterly useless.

I just can't stand the sight of it.

"The moon has come at just the right time. The priest has just divined an auspicious day, and the spring sacrifice will be held in seven days. Your master and I have decided that you will preside over the sacrifice this year."

Su Lie looked directly at Su Xiyue.

As he spoke, the man strode over and stopped in front of her: "You are now the Beast God's Messenger, and your prestige has surpassed that of the old priest. You are the most suitable person to preside over this matter."

Su Xiyue was stunned for a moment. She was to preside over the Spring Festival?
Although she had been living under the title of Beast God's Messenger since she transmigrated, she had indeed done some things in the tribe.

For example, leading people to build houses, or solving plagues.

But she had never presided over such an important event as the spring sacrificial ceremony before.

Even the process wasn't very clear.

Although he had once assisted the old priest.

But that was because of the discovery of the salt lake, and the sacrifice was held to thank the beast god. It was definitely different from the spring sacrifice.

She instinctively looked at the priest next to her.

The old man stroked his beard and winked at her: "Girl, don't panic. The process is similar to last year, just on a larger scale. You are the messenger of the Beast God. Just stand on the altar and cast a spell or two, and that will be enough to scare people."

Su Xiyue couldn't help but roll her eyes. This old priest was really unreliable.

Did they think that simply standing on the altar and reciting a few words of prayer would be enough?

If it were really that simple, her father wouldn't have specifically sought her out to discuss it.

She frowned and pondered for a moment. The dragon clan's ancestral worship was at the beginning of next month, while the wolf tribe's sacrifice was seven days later, so there was no conflict.

She looked at Su Lie and said seriously, "Father, since you and Master both think it is suitable for me to preside over the ceremony, I will not refuse. However, I still need to prepare a little more, and I need to review the sacrificial process and the sacrificial text again."

It would be embarrassing if I stood on the stage and knew nothing.

"Alright, then you should prepare well these next few days. If you don't understand anything, go to your master."

Su Lie had no idea that his daughter would do a bad job. Even if she didn't know anything and had no experience, the old priest would assist her. He wasn't worried at all.

Remembering the purpose of her visit to Su Lie, Su Xiyue changed the subject, "Father, it's time to prepare for planting in the spring. The rice harvested last year is still piled up in the warehouse, so we need to hurry up and cultivate seedlings, but we need to clear the land first."

Su Lie frowned instantly: "Clearing land? Farming? You mean what you said last year, burying seeds in the soil and waiting for them to grow on their own?"

"It's not about waiting for it to grow on its own."

Speechless, she could only rub her forehead and patiently explain, "First, we clear the wasteland, then plow it, fertilize it, raise seedlings, and transplant rice seedlings."

"Wait, wait, wait—"

Su Lie waved his hand to interrupt, "Your father doesn't understand what you're saying. Here's what we'll do: just allocate the manpower you need, and I'll give you the warehouse key."

He was about to take out his keys when he suddenly remembered that his daughter was going to the Dragon Clan next month, and he was afraid he wouldn't have the time.

Those seven sons-in-law will definitely go along too.

This trouble will eventually fall on your own head.

He can't even tell the difference between rice and weeds, how is he supposed to plant them?
My head started to ache instantly.

Suddenly, he shoved the key into Su Mu's hand: "Boss, this is your job. Take the hunting team to clear the land. Not all of you need to go. Leave one branch to be in charge of hunting. Just do whatever Yue'er says."

Su Mu, holding the key, looked bewildered: "Father, how would I know how to farm..."

"I can't study."

Su Lie glared at her instantly, "Your sister is incredibly smart, how come you're so stupid? You're not like my daughter at all. The rice cooked from that last year was so delicious. If we could grow it, our tribe would never have to worry about going hungry again."

Su Mu was scolded mercilessly by his father, but dared not utter a single word in rebuttal.

I could only reluctantly agree.

But in her heart, she began to resent her brothers-in-law.

It's all because these guys are so capable that he seems particularly useless.

Seeing that everything had been explained, Su Xiyue didn't interfere any further.

Turn around and talk to the priest to learn about the specific procedures and details of the spring festival, as well as some things to pay attention to.

She didn't want to embarrass herself later.

The two crossed the courtyard and made their way to the priest's room.

"Master, you should air out this room."

She fanned her nose and kicked open the turtle shell beside her feet; the smell inside was really not good.

The old priest chuckled and cracked open the window, pulling a yellowed leather roll from under the animal skin cushion: "Girl, the sacrificial process is all here. Memorize the incantation first, then follow the procedure. At the end, cast two spells to perform a miracle and impress people."

Su Xiyue listened attentively, then took the scroll, unfolded it, and her lips twitched.

Who can decipher these garbled symbols?

"Master, are you drawing a talisman or making a record?"

"Cough cough."

The old priest awkwardly snatched back the scroll, saying, "Well then, I'll read it aloud for you to memorize."

After I finish writing down the sacrificial ceremony procedures.

The old man suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "Girl, tell your master, what does it feel like to reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"

She raised an eyebrow instantly, glanced at him up and down, and said with a half-smile, "Why don't you raise your cultivation to the twelfth level of Qi Refining first?"

"Hehe, of course I know all that, I just wanted to ask."

The old priest chuckled awkwardly, staring at her expectantly. "Girl, about that potion from last time..."

"What about cabbages? They're gone."

She instantly understood what he meant and couldn't help but roll her eyes. This old man was dreaming.

The priest looked disappointed, but didn't press the matter further.

Su Xiyue chuckled inwardly; this old man was quite sensible.

It wasn't that she was stingy, but the potion was truly gone.

When we came out of the priest's place, it was almost dusk.

She rubbed her sore shoulders, thinking that the sacrificial procedure was really complicated, but fortunately she remembered it and knew how to do it.
