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

Chapter 239 Successive Advancements to the Fourth Tier
The moonlight, like water, shone on the spiritual plant forest.

After years of nurturing, the Spirit Plant Forest now boasts tens of thousands of spirit plants of varying sizes and grades, as well as countless kinds of witchcraft medicines.

Inside the spirit plant forest, among a cluster of relatively low-lying spirit plants, rabbit heads peeked out.

The rabbits formed circles of varying sizes, surrounding the lead rabbit that was pounding medicine.

In front of each rabbit is a pestle for pounding medicine, as well as a stone slab or a mortar and pestle.

As the lead rabbit pounding medicine made a sound, the surrounding rabbits quickly rushed into the spirit plant forest, bringing back various kinds of witchcraft medicine one after another.

The pounding rabbit's movements also attracted the little spirits, who, with their long tails trailing behind, lingered around, absorbing the moonlight and emitting a rich moonlight liquid.

Quietly waiting for the moon to rise above the horizon, the moonlight between heaven and earth suddenly reaches its peak.

The lead rabbit, the one pounding the medicine, suddenly stood up, and the rest of the rabbits followed suit, their two front hooves gripping the pestle.

At this moment, the moonlight seemed to be drawn in, rapidly converging towards this area.

Then you see the group of rabbits start to dance, their pestles falling rhythmically, and moonlight flowing down from the sky, merging with the pestles.

As the rabbit danced, the moonlight fell onto the shamanic medicine through the pestle.

Seeing the Medicine-pounding Rabbit dance, the little spirits also took flight, gathering around the Medicine-pounding Rabbit and dancing as well. Moonlight poured down like water, giving the little spirits an extra layer of moonlight garments.

As it danced, the medicine-pounding rabbit looked up at the sky, its two rabbit hands constantly making a praying gesture.

Each time this moon-gazing and worship gesture is performed, the flowing moonlight becomes more intense.

The sound of the pestle falling formed a unified syllable, like the pulse of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, striking the mind and spirit.

In the distance, Shen Can watched the sacrificial dance of the medicine-pounding rabbit, a large-scale group worship dance.

As the moonlight grew richer, the bright moonlight formed a shimmering curtain above the medicine-pounding rabbit.

The stars surrounding the laurel moon were also drawn in at this moment, and their starlight fell down.

Streams of moonlight, like flowing streams, mingled with starlight, fell upon the heads of each medicine-pounding rabbit.

As the medicine-pounding rabbit danced, it pounded the medicine, and moonlight poured into the prepared witchcraft medicine.

Starlight, moonlight, and the essence of herbs converge at this moment through a systematic group ritual dance.

hum!
The medicine-pounding rabbits danced more and more gracefully, and the area of ​​the moon overhead grew larger and larger, as if attracting the moonlight from the nearby wasteland.

The little spirits, including the watching shamans, began to retreat so as not to disturb the medicine-pounding rabbit's ritual dance.

Looking from afar, one can see an enlarged laurel moon appearing above the Spirit Plant Forest, shining brightly alongside the laurel moon in the sky.

The rabbits surrounding the lead medicine-pounding rabbit raised their respective stone mortars and slabs and danced around the lead medicine-pounding rabbit, sending their respective pounded medicines into the lead medicine-pounding rabbit's stone mortar.

After doing all this, the lead rabbit, the one pounding the medicine, grabbed the pestle and started pounding the medicine, while the other rabbits followed suit, mimicking the motions of pounding medicine.

A clanging sound rang out as the witchcraft medicine dissolved into a single substance within the stone mortar.
The medicinal herbs in the stone mortar quickly blended together, producing a dazzling medicinal aroma.

The medicinal vapors rose to the same height as the moon, turning the moonlight into a colorful canopy.

Upon seeing this, all the medicine-pounding rabbits jumped up excitedly.

The lead medicine-pounding rabbit tilted its head back, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the medicinal vapors and moonlight above its head.

Its body also glowed with a rosy light, as if it were draped in a dazzling cloak, and its aura began to rise sharply.

……

After a long time.

A fourth-tier medicine-pounding rabbit looked up at Guiyue and let out a "chirp chirp".

The hundreds of rabbits of all sizes pounding medicine around them looked as if they had been hollowed out, lying on the ground with their legs spread out, fast asleep.

The upgraded fourth-tier medicine-pounding rabbit picked up its pestle and began pounding the medicine into the stone mortar.

A rhythmic sound arose, attracting the remaining moonlight, which swirled down from the sky and fell into the stone mortar.

The moment the moon disappeared from the sky, the last pestle fell.

A pure, spiritual energy emanated from the stone mortar, waking all the rabbits who were fast asleep from exhaustion.

After its promotion, the medicine-pounding rabbit twitched its ears, and a ball of spiritual light lifted the prepared witch medicine from the stone mortar. With a few hops, it arrived at Shen Can's side.

This ball of potion was crystal clear, shimmering with several colors, and shaped like amber.

This reminded Shen Can of the azure nectar he obtained from the first Owl Sun Witch's pouch many years ago.

The aura is exactly the same, except that the blue nectar back then only had one color, and its aura and purity were not as good as this ball of witch medicine in front of me.

The promotion method of the collective sacrificial dance of the medicine-pounding rabbit is quite worth learning.

He took out a jade box from his magic bag and put away the fourth-tier secret medicine.

This potion has a rich wood element essence, and because it has absorbed the power of the moon, its aura is very gentle.

Martial artists can use it directly for both cultivation and healing.

The medicine-pounding rabbit, its two large ears perked up and twitching, anxiously asked as it watched Shen Can put away all the secret medicine, "Should we give it a name?"

"From grafting and cultivation, the fruit trees are all maintained and cared for by you using the power of the moonlight, and the medicine is made using the power of the moonlight. How about calling it the Osmanthus Moon Secret Medicine?"

"Alright, let's call it Guiyue Secret Medicine!"

"Then I'll call myself Gui Tu!"

After advancing to the fourth rank, the Medicine-pounding Rabbit leader thought that since all the other fourth-rank wild beasts had names, he should also have one.

"Row."

Shen Can lifted Gui Tu's big ears and felt that they were very smooth and fluffy. Upon closer inspection, he could see light moving around on the ears.

The benefits of a cassia rabbit skilled in pounding medicine advancing to the fourth rank are far greater than those of a fourth-rank guardian beast.

Blood crystals from the ruins of the Sky Clan, purified through improved grafting, produce fruit that is all third-tier spiritual fruit.

The best Guiyue fruit can be made into a fourth-tier secret medicine.

If these fruits can be used properly, the Zhiyanbo tribe will once again see an increase in its clan strength.

Not long after Gui Tu's advancement, Huo Yun, who had been cultivating alongside Shen Can for the past two years, was also preparing to advance to the fourth-tier Great Witch.

Many years ago, Huo Yun's cultivation level had already reached the peak of the third rank.

With the strength of the Blazing Flame Clan, it is not difficult for them to cultivate martial arts to the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein or to reach the peak of the third rank in witchcraft.

As long as the clansmen choose the appropriate cultivation attribute and their talent is in the middle to upper range, it is not difficult to advance to the peak of the third tier in thirty to fifty years.

In thirty to fifty years, a fourth-tier martial artist can only advance from the early stage of the fourth tier to the middle stage.

As one progresses to the fourth level of cultivation, the time required to settle down in each minor realm will become increasingly longer.

Unless one encounters a great opportunity, it is unlikely that the time within a certain realm can be shortened.

The cultivation of most living beings follows the rule that the higher the realm, the longer the cultivation time required.

The precious medicine that the volcano clan chief had prepared for his promotion had not been used before, so Shen Can took it out and gave one to Huo Jun this time.

Huo Yun was cultivating in the Spirit Plant Forest, making final preparations for a breakthrough. It was precisely because she cultivated wood magic that she had the possibility of advancing.

If Huo Yun had cultivated any of the other five elements, she wouldn't have had a chance to advance to the fourth-tier Great Witch.

The moonlight was bright.

Within the Spirit Plant Forest, at the location of the Laurel Moon Fruit Tree, a small spirit creature soared through the air, its moonlight emanating from its body forming a mist that enveloped the fruit tree. Meanwhile, the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit, along with the clan's spirit plant wizard, carefully leaped among the Laurel Moon Fruit Trees.

In order to cultivate the Guiyue Fruit, the clan used more than a dozen kinds of fruit trees as the mother tree for grafting. In the end, only the wild fruit trees in the Chengtian Secret Realm as the mother tree produced the best quality fruit.

Now, what the spirit plant wizards are doing is gradually cultivating this laurel fruit tree into a small orchard.

The only unexpected thing is that there is now a dragon coiled up in the tree.

The slow-witted little dragonfish, after learning about the Osmanthus Moon Fruit, decided to stay there and refuse to leave.

It also knew it couldn't steal food, so it decided to wait here and see if it could find any leftovers.

hum!
Suddenly, the wood-attribute source energy in the spirit plant forest began to fluctuate, and the little dragon fish immediately woke up, transforming its body into a size of more than ten feet.

"Come behind me, everyone."

However, once the little dragonfish saw the direction of the energy fluctuation, it immediately realized what was happening.

"Don't be afraid, this is Ah-Jun breaking through. Everyone stop for now to avoid being impacted by the turbulent source energy."

……

The news of Huo Yun's promotion also caught Shen Can's attention.

Everything that needed to be arranged was arranged; the wood source energy was abundant, the water source energy was surrounding them, and precious medicines were also available.

As Huo Yun's mentor, Shen Can can't help her with anything else now.

As Huo Yun advanced, a group of wizards also rode in flying boats, hovering in the distance to observe and record her progress.

From moonlit night until dawn, the commotion in the spirit plant forest gradually subsided, and the wood elemental energy returned to normal.

Shen Can returned to the ancestral temple, and Huo Yun successfully advanced to the fourth-order Great Witch realm.

Several days later.

"Master."

Upon entering the ancestral temple, Huo Yun respectfully kowtowed to Shen Can.

"Without Master's support, I would never have become a Great Shaman in my life, and I might have just been an ordinary person for the rest of my life."

Huo Yun understood that her advancement to the fourth rank was all thanks to Shen Can's support.

After a brief exchange, Huo Yun shifted the focus of the conversation back to the cultivation of her clansmen.

“Master, the Osmanthus Moon Fruit is transformed from Blood Crystal. After the violent aura was washed away, its effect of assisting the enhancement of the bloodline of wild beasts was not weakened.”

In other words, this fruit can not only enhance the strength of the tribe members, but also help the wild beasts within the tribe improve their bloodline.

To maximize the use of the fruit, it is necessary to pound it with a cassia rabbit.

The secret method of the Gui Tu clan to manipulate the moonlight to pound medicine is something that the clan's pharmacists simply cannot learn, and thus cannot establish a connection with the moonlight.

To maximize the effectiveness of the Moonflower Fruit, the tribespeople who use it must be carefully selected.

During this period, although Huo Yun focused most of her attention on breakthroughs, she did not neglect the tasks she was supposed to do.

She had all the cultivation data of the martial artists in the clan, which she had compiled into a booklet and handed to Shen Can.

The discovery that the limit for advancing to the Divine Treasury was lowered from seventy-two Desolate Powers was, in truth, something she and the wizards figured out little by little through data analysis.

“Master, there are currently 133 clansmen in the clan who have advanced to the Heavenly Vein level with a strength of 69 or above. The highest level among them is the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein, and the lowest is the first level of the Heavenly Vein.”

"One of the seventy-seven Desolate Powers."

"One of the seventy-five desolate forces."

"Two people with a combined strength of seventy-three."

"Thirteen people with the power of the seventy-two wildernesses."

"Nineteen of the seventy-one wild forces."

"Twenty-seven people have a power level of seventy, and the rest have a power level of sixty-nine."

"Currently, none of the clansmen with a strength of 72 or above have cultivated to the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein; the highest level they have reached is the seventh level of the Heavenly Vein."

"Among the seventy-one members of the Desolate Force clan, the highest level they have cultivated is the eighth level of the Heavenly Vein."

"Among the clansmen of the sixty-nine or seventy Desolate Force, only Elder Huo Zhang has cultivated to the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein."

The reason why someone with higher Wild Power can cultivate more slowly than many other members of the clan with lower Wild Power is because of this.

The main reason is that these people are cultivating step by step. They are the reserve of divine treasures for the Blazing Flame Clan. They do not need to force growth and waste their future potential to improve in the Heavenly Vein Realm.

Among the other hundred-plus people, apart from Huo Zhang and a few other elders, the rest were all young people in their thirties, who had not been cultivating for very long.

In truth, their cultivation has been fast enough, and they have all benefited from the rapid advancement of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

The reason Huo Yun included the power of the sixty-nine wildernesses at this moment was due to the data she had previously discovered.

The minimum requirement for advancement to the Divine Treasury is decreasing. If Elder Huozhang can successfully advance, it also means that the members of the 69 Desolate Force clan will also have the possibility of advancement.

"There are eleven wild beasts whose bloodlines have reverted to their ancestral forms, including one antelope-qilin, two dragon-blood horses, three moon-gazing rhinoceroses, and five azure phoenixes."

At this point, Huo Yun recalled the story of the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros and the Dragon Blood Horse.

"Previously, the Dragonblood Horse King stole several female Moon-Gazing Rhinoceroses, which gave birth to several wild beasts with mutated bloodlines."

Two of them are shaped like horses, with rhinoceros horns on their heads and small, dark jade-colored dragon horns on their heads.

These two little beasts also have the ability to draw upon the moonlight, combining the speed of the Dragonblood Horse with the physique of the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, making them stronger than the offspring of the Antelope Qilin, the Wild Mountain Deer, and the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros.

If they can be cultivated into a clan, they can become new tractor beasts for the clan's war chariots.

As for how the Dragonblood Horse King stole the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros's home, that's no secret.

Previously, in order to cultivate the tribe's war beasts, the tribe brought back dozens of peach trees from the peach forest in the Giant Mountain Range, in order to accelerate the reproduction of these tribes of wild beasts.

That's right, it's the peach grove where Longjiao and Sicai slept together.

Peach blossoms bloomed, and miasma filled the air. This Dragon Horse King, inheriting a portion of the dragon bloodline passed down from his ancestors, had practically become a walking scumbag within the clan.

They've been behaving themselves lately, getting beaten up by a coalition of Antelope and Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros and forced to hide.

After reviewing Huo Yun's preparatory divine treasure booklet, Shen Can felt it was time to give Huo Zhang a intensive training session.

We can also take out the Guiyue Secret Medicine we just obtained and let it try to advance to the Divine Treasure.

Don't be fooled by the fact that none of these clansmen on the booklet have reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm; in reality, they can cultivate very quickly if they really want to.

Those who cultivate quickly may only need eight or ten years to reach the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein.

For a tribe, ten or eight years is nothing at all.

For Shen Can, ten years wouldn't be enough time for him to absorb source power and advance to a minor rank.

However, among the younger generation, ten years is enough time for those who are stuck in the Kaishan territory accumulating wilderness power to advance to the Heavenly Vein Realm.

One group of people cultivated to the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm, and another group successively cultivated to various levels of the Heavenly Vein Realm.

Unless, like before in Jishan, the clan suffers a devastating loss of its members, perhaps in a few decades, one member will attempt to advance to the Divine Realm every few years.

Subsequently, Shen Can summoned Huo Zhang directly from the clan's territory to the river valley, preparing to give it a complete baptism to increase its chances of advancing to the Divine Realm.
