After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 177 The Second Beast-Transformed Warrior! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After years of fighting against Xiaoyang, it's time to enjoy the post-war benefits.

Shen Can didn't hold back and used the precious medicine directly.

He used the precious medicine he obtained from the Luoshui tribe when he advanced to the Divine Realm. This precious medicine came from a human traitor who had been killed.

Besides wanting to help him advance to the rank of Great Witch, Shen Can also hoped to further his martial arts skills by brewing this precious medicine.

Therefore, he was very generous with the medicine in the cauldron, adding various witchcraft medicines that were over a hundred years old according to the prescribed ratio.

Not long after, the volcano emerged from the outside, looking quite energetic.

Over the past two months, he has endured the oppressive power of the purgatory three times, with a fourth-level sacrificial spirit protecting him each time, allowing the volcanic baleful energy to surge out of the purgatory.

Tempering one's will is a continuous process, and there is no set timeframe for when one will succeed.

At least during the two months of observation, the volcano remained steadfast and its spirit was not shaken by the constant devouring of the owl-like sun in purgatory.

In Shen Can's opinion, that was enough.

First, practice the secret techniques of wild beasts, and then at the same time, temper your will; do both simultaneously.

After the volcano entered, two more heads, one large and one small, squeezed into the outside of the main hall.

It was a small dragonfish and a small bluebird.

Over the past two years, the two little guys have grown even bigger.

When Shen Can returned, he gave each of them a drop of blood.

This is his precious blood after advancing to the fourth rank, when his Wild Beast Battle Body underwent an even more powerful transformation.

At that time, the two little guys were completely dumbfounded. One head had its golden scales burst open, and the other head lost all its fur. They chirped and screamed for several days before they recovered.

But the results are also amazing.

Two bumps, about five inches in size, have grown on the little arowana's forehead. They are crystal clear and glistening with water.

The Azure Phoenix Sparrow's feathers contained azure light, and a crown of golden down grew on its forehead, with some feathers even appearing to stick up high.

"It smells so good! Can I have a bite?"

They huddled at either end of the doorway, gazing longingly at Shen Can, and kept looking up to indicate the medicinal soup inside the cauldron.

Seeing this, Shen Can raised a finger, and two drops of crystal-clear precious medicine flew out.

Then, it was swallowed by the arowana and the sparrow.

"Dinner's almost ready!"

"Let's go, Little Sparrow."

……

The current combat power of the little dragonfish is comparable to the sixth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm, and the little sparrow has also approached the third level after its transformation.

The precious blood that Shen Can gave them last time was not fully absorbed; more energy remained dormant in their bodies and will be released slowly over time.

Shen Can estimated that it would take one to two years, after all, his precious blood aura was too strong.

He would continue feeding the two little ones after they had finished digesting.

We'll see what they transform into.

……

After the two little auspicious beasts were dealt with, the hall finally calmed down.

"Ah-Can, I have memorized all the secret techniques you taught me."

After entering the volcano, he leaned over the medicine cauldron and took a sniff.

"Are all the witchcraft potions in this cauldron prepared for me?"

He understood that the weaker medicine in the two cauldrons was his, since the other cauldron's aura of witchcraft medicine alone made his celestial veins swell.

"Correct."

Shen Can nodded.

Nowadays, there are only three people in the tribe who still call him A-Can.

Master Huo Xian, clan chief Huo Tang, and the rest are Huo Shan. The other clan members of the same generation as Huo Tang and Huo Shan also respectfully address him as Miao Tiao.

Huo Xian, needless to say, is the master.

Clan Chief Huotang had watched Shen Can grow up in the clan, and even though he was a temple elder, he still wanted to protect his clansmen.

As for the volcano, Shen Can felt there weren't that many problems. He was just straightforward. He used to call him A-Can, and he still calls him A-Can now. What's wrong with that?
Based on this alone, Shen Can believed that after the volcano transformed into a beast, the probability of being corrupted by its bestial nature would decrease by 20%.

The medicine cauldron needed by the volcano was moved to another side hall, and the volcano jumped in immediately.

Shen Can stood guard outside the medicine cauldron, his divine sense enveloping the entire volcano.

He has already taught Volcano the cultivation of the Wild Beast Secret Technique; now, the focus is on its operational path.

The first step in creating a Wild Beast Battle Body is to condense beast patterns on the bones.

The volcano had long since switched to fire-based cultivation, and its corresponding battle form was the Wild Ape.

The medicinal liquid, flowing like mercury, engulfed the volcano, and a continuous stream of medicinal power began to flow into his body.

His Heavenly Meridians were quickly filled, and he desperately circulated the Heavenly Meridian Technique, spreading the blood and qi within the Heavenly Meridians into his flesh and blood, cleansing his bones again and again.

Throughout this process, Shen Can kept a close eye on the changes inside the volcano.

For a cultivation method to be suitable for most people, it needs to incorporate a lot of experimental data.

Besides the volcano, the Fire Tower has secretly transferred veterans from its headquarters and the outer areas of the mountain.

The number is calculated at 120 people, and the ratio of the head office, subordinates, and external personnel is selected at 3:2:1.

The tribe itself needs no introduction; its subjects were the more than 100,000 people that the Blazing Flame Tribe had gathered back then.

Over the years, these more than 100,000 people in the valley have gradually integrated into the Blazing Flame Tribe, identified with the Blazing Flame Tribe, and regarded themselves as a part of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

People from among the subjects continued to intermarry with the main group and join the main group.

Over the past few years, the headquarters has enjoyed a stable living environment, resulting in the birth of a large number of infants with the bloodline of the headquarters every year.

From the initial two thousand or so members of the Blazing Flame Headquarters, the number has now exceeded seventeen thousand, with every household having a bunch of babies crying for food.

As time goes on, the more these babies and teenagers grow up, the faster the proportion of the main bloodline will increase.

If things continue like this, in another ten years or so, the more than 100,000 subjects that were initially gathered will be completely assimilated into the Zhiyan tribe.

To encourage childbirth, those babies from back then have all gotten married and had children.

There are many subjects within the clan, so there is no need to worry about the children being left unattended.

As for practicing martial arts or witchcraft, there's even less to worry about.

It can be said that the unstable factor in the current promotion of the Blazing Flame Tribe to the rank of Earl is the millions of subjects gathered from outside the mountains.

A significant amount of time will still be needed for the integration process.

Therefore, the clan will use various methods, such as selecting some young people with shamanic talent who have received blessings from the sacrificial spirits and have already been trained in the main shamanic and martial halls.

Correspondingly, their relatives will also move to the headquarters.

……

The reason for selecting veterans to temper their will is that they have all fought against Xiao Yang, and some even had their relatives killed by Xiao Yang.

After years of battles, their minds and wills have been tempered time and again, making them far stronger than the young men of the Martial Hall.

Shen Can's goal with the Wild Beast Battle Body technique is to develop it into a divine ability that can not only help martial artists in battle but also help them break through to higher levels.

When advancing to the Divine Realm, a strong physique is very important, and this technique happens to be able to strengthen the physique.

……

"When relatives move into the main tribe's territory, their offspring receive double the nurturing within the tribe. In the event of an accident, their spirit tablet is enshrined in the ancestral temple and they enjoy the tribe's annual sacrifices."

In the clan's territory outside the mountains.

Huotang gathered more than two hundred figures together. Over the years, many of the clansmen and their subjects in the valley had gone out, all of whom had experienced the great battle with Xiaoyang.

"The clan will enter into a contract with you all, and will enshrine your deeds in the ancestral temple. When the matter no longer needs to be kept secret, it will be announced to the entire clan."

Huotang's words made everyone in the hall look serious.

Being able to enter the ancestral temple clearly indicates that this mission is extremely dangerous and even requires secrecy, further increasing its secrecy.

"You have three days to think it over. Come find me when you've made up your mind."

Shen Can gave 120 people a spot, but Huo Tang thought about it and decided that if they were to be forcibly recruited from the clan to experiment with martial arts, it would be better to let the clan members make their own choice.

The mission couldn't be explicitly stated, but the series of favors were enough to make the tribesmen understand that the mission was very dangerous, and that the slightest accident could mean they wouldn't return.

The condition of allowing relatives to migrate to the main tribe was given to the new inhabitants of the tribes outside the mountains.

The reason for selecting 220 people was to avoid not having enough people to meet Shen Can's requirements.

Three days passed by in a flash.

A total of 167 martial artists came to find Huotang.

……

The Blazing Flame Clan.

The volcano, which had been soaking in the medicine cauldron for three days and three nights, had long since turned the viscous, mercury-like medicine inside into a clear, watery state.

The medicinal effects have already entered the volcano's body.

Whoohoo!
Inside the cauldron, a muffled breathing sound emanated from the volcano, its entire body burning intensely hot.

The clear water inside the cauldron began to gurgle, quickly turning into a mist that spread outwards.

An incredibly dense aura of blood emanated from every pore, instantly staining the entire medicine cauldron crimson.

Rumble!
Blood energy suddenly exploded from the volcano, shattering the medicine cauldron into pieces.

A torrent of blood-red energy began to rise from the top of the volcano, instantly penetrating the stone palace.

Then, the blood energy on the volcano transformed into a fire-like form, and a wild and untamed aura surged outward from within.

In Shen Can's perception, the volcano's bones were covered with crimson-gold ape patterns, and the entire bone began to swell, supporting his flesh and blood.

In an instant, a large ape with golden fur stood up from the center of the broken cauldron.

Roar!
The great ape roared, its body surging with blood energy like flowing flames.

This beastly roar startled Shen Can, who immediately enveloped it with his divine sense and raised his hand, ready to suppress it at any moment.

He only relaxed when he saw a clear look in the volcano's blood-gold pupils.

The giant ape reached up and touched the back of its head.

"Ah Chan, I couldn't help it just now."

When the volcano opened its mouth, the sound was like thunder, instantly causing everything inside the hall to thump and rattle.

"Why have all the things shrunk?"

The giant ape was 48 feet tall, nearly 20 feet shorter than when Shen Can first transformed.

"How do you feel?"

"pain!"

The volcano opened its mouth and swayed.

"My whole body aches, my flesh aches, my bones aches, everything aches."

Shen Can focused his divine sense back on the volcano and could clearly sense the numerous tearing wounds within its body.

The crimson-gold animal markings on the bone resembled a human figure roaring towards the sky.

At this moment, the beast pattern shone with dazzling light.

"Circulate your blood and qi."

Under Shen Can's instructions, the volcano began to mobilize the blood and qi within its body.

After that, Huoshan did exactly as Shen Can instructed, and this continued for almost half an hour.

"Ah Chan, I can't hold on any longer."

Finally, the volcano's body rapidly shrank, returning to its human form, lying on the ground as if it had been hollowed out.

After meditating for another quarter of an hour, Volcano got up, changed his clothes, and sat down in front of Shen Can with a grimacing expression.

My whole body aches, as if I'm being pricked by needles or cut by knives.

Not long after, Yanling pushed open the door and came in carrying a large bowl of witch medicine.

"Grandpa Volcano, it's time to take your medicine."

The volcano put on a smiling face, took the big bowl, and gulped it down in one go.

After drinking the medicine, I finally felt some relief from the pain.

"Do you have any more Little Flame Spirit? Give me three more big bowls."

Yan Ling took the bowl. "Yes, Master cooked a lot."

After drinking five large bowls of witchcraft soup, the volcano finally felt the stinging pain originating from its bones disappear.

The transformation I just experienced felt like my bones were being torn apart and my flesh was being ripped apart; I felt as if I were being torn apart by five horses.

No wonder Ah-Can had him enter the purgatory to train his will before he began his cultivation.

Shen Can was busy at his desk, sensing the entire process of the volcano's transformation, and all the changes were imprinted in his mind.

As expected, the beast battle body technique derived from the transformation method that suited him seemed somewhat unsuitable for volcano.

However, it wasn't a big problem; at least it was a success.

The injury... If it weren't for this injury, where would he have gotten the ideas for further improvement?

Each piece of animal skin was covered with drawings of the volcano's shape, the circulation of blood and qi within its body, and the animal markings on its bones and tendons.

From volcanoes to fire apes, Shen Can drew more than a dozen pictures in one go before finally putting down his pen.

Based on these changes, further optimization and improvement can be made, and even martial arts techniques suitable for this beast-form transformation can be deduced.

In fact, even Shen Can's own Wild Beast Battle Body has corresponding martial arts supernatural abilities, which need to be improved step by step.

“Your uncle will also be staying in the hall to heal his injuries. I need to observe the changes in your body.”

In the following days, the volcano became Shen Can's experimental fire ape, constantly shifting between fire ape and human form.

It took about half a month from recovering from his injuries in the volcano to skillfully transforming into his beast form.

During this time, the potion of witch medicine that Shen Can had prepared for himself was finally ready.

He temporarily entrusted the task of recording the daily changes in the volcano's body to his disciple, Huo Yun, while he jumped into the medicine cauldron to cultivate.

After years of war, the tribe naturally needed to quickly convert the large amount of spoils of war into combat power.

After he completes his advancement, Shen Can plans to accelerate the progress of his disciples. One third-level disciple is not enough; they all need to be third-level.

As for the fourth tier, we'll see what happens in the future.

……

The advancement to the fourth-tier Great Witch involves condensing the witch power within the witch vein, which is similar to opening up the divine treasure and condensing blood energy.

After breaking through to the fourth level of martial arts, his physical strength was as strong as divine metal. For him, condensing witch power and expanding his witch veins was as simple as water flowing into a channel.

Inside the ancestral temple.

Once inside the medicine cauldron, Shen Can was like a savage ancient beast, frantically absorbing the medicinal power within.

His medicine cauldron contained not only precious medicines, but also a large amount of source stones.

An incomparably violent power surged into the witch's veins, causing them to expand rapidly.
