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

Chapter 91 Strange Phenomena in the Clan Territory: Disciples Break Through, Clan Members Break Through!

Guanghua integrated into the clan's territory, and some of the clan's followers also flocked to the clan's settlements.

this moment.

The baby peed all over himself.

The crying baby immediately stopped crying and started giggling.

The auntie who was cooking paused for a moment.

The clansmen who were practicing martial arts early in the morning suddenly forgot how to throw a punch.

Then, during practice, I felt that my fist movements seemed to flow more smoothly.

Early in the morning, the tribe members who had responded to the call for the birth of their child were suddenly caught in a flash flood, which swept across the land.

These changes did not alert the tribespeople; it was just a fleeting moment, and everyone went about their business as usual.

"Oh, Mom, I peed on myself."

"Get out, you useless thing."

……

Ancestral temple.

Shen Can and Huo Tang both looked at the Nine Tripods and Eight Dishes.

"Ah Can, I feel like these nine tripods and eight vessels are different from yesterday. Yesterday they were cold and aloof, but today they feel so warm and welcoming."

Huo Tang's eyes were fixed on the nine tripods and eight sacrificial vessels, and he even forgot what he had excitedly run into the ancestral temple to say.

"It's different now."

Shen Can nodded.

Just now, in his divine sense, he saw a radiant light sweep across the tribe.

At this moment, the two-zhang-long river of blood brought back from the burial pit also disappeared into the cauldron when the light appeared.

It didn't disappear.

Instead, they entered the territory of the Blazing Flame Clan.

The fire-lighting vessel sensed the warmth of the Nine Tripods and Eight Vessels, which proved that it had gained the approval of the Nine Tripods and Eight Vessels.

yesterday?

Yesterday, didn't he just send Huotang to learn about the Yanran tribe in Jidi and steal some of their techniques?
Why is everything so different today?

I heard from others that it hasn't been stolen yet, has it?

Shen Can sensed that the sudden change in the sacrificial cauldron was inseparable from Huo Tang's mental state.

The spirit of Huotang is expanding today.

The Yanran tribe is quite good; they haven't even started learning from others yet, and their own clan leader has already changed.

This change must have aligned with the will of the ancestors within the sacrificial cauldron, which is why the strange phenomenon just now occurred.

……

The fire censer remained close to the nine tripods and eight sacrificial vessels for a long time before its gaze fell upon the offering table.

“Ah-chan, I remember the offerings on the altar were plentiful yesterday.”

"Yes."

Shen Can nodded. Not only yesterday, but every day since he returned, the offerings on the altar have been plentiful.

Instead of what it is now, where the dried meat offered has turned into withered tree roots, and the rice and wine are almost gone.

This shows that the significance of ancestral temples is something that small tribes that have lost their traditions cannot understand.

"Clan leader, did you sense anything when you entered the ancestral temple?"

Only after Shen Can asked this did Huo Tang realize what was going on.

"Yes, I just stepped into the ancestral temple and thought it was just a flash of sunlight. You don't mean the sacrificial cauldron, do you?"

"Chieftain, what information did you find out about the Yanran tribe from the wandering knight you interrogated last night?"

"They bravely resisted the foreign tribes and protected the region. I really want to meet the chieftain of the Yanran tribe."

"No wonder Lu Fu said before that to become a superior tribe, one needs to have influence in one direction. It turns out that a tribe's advancement requires the recognition of all the tribes in the surrounding areas."

That morning, Huotang talked to Shen Can for a long time at the ancestral temple. Even after Huo Xian got up and made breakfast, he still couldn't shut Huotang up.

……

After finishing his meal, Shen Can headed towards the Witch Temple.

Huo Ye and Huo Long were tidying up the animal hides when they saw Shen Can come in, and they quickly got up.

"Master."

Shen Can gestured for them to go about their business.

“Master, when Senior Brother Huozhong came early this morning, he suddenly felt inspired and went to the blacksmith’s workshop, saying that he wanted to present Master with a real witch artifact this time.”

"Also, when Senior Sister Huoyun got up early this morning, she felt that she might be about to break through, so she didn't come."

Huoye stood up and said to Shen Can, "These things were sent by the clan chief through the clan members, who said they were for our compilation of tribal books."

These records are all stories told by wandering knights; we need to reorganize and categorize them.

Shen Can didn't look at the interrogation record; he looked at his two disciples.

Have either of you felt like you've made a breakthrough recently?

The two women thought Shen Can was going to scold them, so they quickly got up.

The older Huoye spoke up, "Master, we are both dull-witted and still cannot find the location of the witch vein. We can only absorb very little water-element witch power each day."

"Please sit down. The key to cultivation is perseverance. You are already cultivating quite fast."

Shen Can encouraged his two disciples, but he was deep in thought.

Huo Zhong and Huo Yun, one cultivates weapon-refining witchcraft, and the other cultivates spiritual plant witchcraft.

After lingering in the Witch Temple for a while and answering some questions for the two disciples, Shen Can wandered over to Huo Yun's residence.

Huoyun and several other shamans were the heart and soul of the tribe and lived in the core area of ​​the tribe's residence.

Before Shen Can even reached Huo Jun's house, he sensed a misty vapor gathering towards it.

Seeing this, he did not approach any further, and carefully used his divine sense to push the surrounding moisture toward the house.

After the water vapor gathered, it formed a small cloud above the house.

Inside the house, Huo Yun was soaked to the bone, but her eyes were closed. Her divine sense, about ten feet long, lingered around her, and she suddenly felt that the water element power that had gathered around her had become much stronger.

Without much thought, she quickly absorbed the water elemental power into her body, and a hazy witch vein appeared faintly within her.

……

Half an hour later.

Shen Can saw that the moisture above the house had decreased by more than half, and he knew that the breakthrough was over.

The Blazing Flame Tribe now has a second official shaman.

He had assumed that Huo Zhong would be second.

Seeing that Huo Yun had successfully broken through, Shen Can turned around and walked towards the direction of the blacksmith's hut.

Because the clanging sound of blacksmithing requires a lot of water for quenching, the blacksmith's workshop was placed in a watery area of ​​the clan's territory.

"Haha, it's done!"

As Shen Can approached the blacksmith's hut, he heard Huo Zhong's howling.

Inside the blazing incense burner, mysterious light burst forth, and crimson runes flickered on a hammer. Even after it was forged, the flames on the hammer burned for a quarter of an hour before going out.

"Master!"

Just as Huo Chong was getting excited, he suddenly saw Shen Can watching from afar and immediately shut his mouth.

He picked up the hammer with both hands and walked towards Shen Can.

“Master, this is the first magical weapon I have crafted, and I present it to you.”

Huo Chong knelt down in front of Shen Can, holding the hammer in both hands.

Shen Can grabbed the hammer.

"good."

In his divine sense, he could tell that the witch runes engraved on the hammer were actually misaligned in several places, but that didn't matter.

The appearance of this hammer represents a new starting point for the Blazing Flame Tribe in weapon forging.

For many small tribes, even if there is no shaman in the tribe, they can still forge weapons used by third-tier Heavenly Vein warriors.

It simply means putting in double the effort to repeatedly forge low-grade ores; if a hundred times isn't enough, then two hundred times.

However, weapons forged by ordinary blacksmiths are passable in the early stages of the Heavenly Meridian Realm. The more Heavenly Meridians a Heavenly Meridian Warrior opens, the more powerful his blood energy becomes.

When using weapons, one inevitably infuses them with blood and energy.

Without the blessing of the talisman, it can't be used more than a few times.

Unless you use higher quality ore, but ordinary blacksmiths don't have the ability to smelt high-quality ore.

“I hope that all the blacksmiths in our tribe can use the witch hammer you forged.”

Shen Can gave Huo Zhong a goal and then asked, "You broke through?" "Yes! When I was inscribing witch runes on this witch hammer just now, I opened up the witch meridian in one go."

At this moment, Shen Can saw the fervor still in Huo Zhong's eyes and immediately understood.

"Let's call this hammer the Mountain Hammer."

"Heavy Mountain Hammer".

Huo Chong muttered something to himself, then his eyes lit up.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this name upon me."

Feeling the burning conviction rising again, Shen Can patted Huo Zhong on the shoulder.

"Let's stabilize things first, then come to the ancestral temple tonight."

With that, Shen Can carried the heavy mountain hammer and left the blacksmith's hut.

"Ah Chong, you've become a true wizard?"

Si Bing Huoshi strode out of the hut, shaking his heavy shoulders, and the other blacksmiths and apprentices followed suit.

"Ah."

Huoshi pulled Huozhong towards the surrounding crowd and said, "See? We can become wizards even by blacksmithing."

……

Shen Can, carrying the iron hammer, did not return to the ancestral temple. He also had a disciple named Huo Fu, who had a reclusive personality.

After so long, the disciples in the Witch Temple are all very familiar with each other, except for Huo Fu, a disciple who has some talent for witch talismans, who is not very sociable.

From afar, Shen Can could see Huo Fu's figure bent over a table inside the stone window, drawing shamanic symbols.

At this moment, Huo Fu frowned deeply, and the pen in his hand was like a heavy hammer that Shen Can was carrying.

Shen Can did not approach; he stood quietly outside the house watching the fire.

Today, two of his disciples advanced to the first rank of wizard, and another seems to have made progress as well. This made him think of the strange phenomenon that occurred at the ancestral temple this morning.

He had a total of seven disciples.

Besides the five people we met today, there are also Huo Jiang and Huo Tuan, and Huo Ye and Huo Long, who are all sorcerers who prefer combat.

As Shen Can pondered the changes that had occurred today, Huo Fu, who was inside the room, suddenly slammed his pen down, staining a patch of the cut animal hide.

Huo Fu paused for a moment, then grabbed it again, but a sharp edge swept out from the animal hide, piercing straight at Huo Fu's face.

In that critical moment, Shen Can's lingering divine sense descended, suppressing this sharp edge into the witch talisman.

"Master!"

Huo Fu saw Shen Can walking over.

Shen Can entered the room and grabbed the shamanic talisman that Huo Fu had just drawn.

On the parchment, there is only an irregular sword, which is derived from the shamanic script that makes up the Lingyu Water Control Technique. The shamanic script has been modified to outline the shape of the sword.

"Water sword... no, it's a sword control talisman."

Shen Can used his divine sense to gradually perceive the transformed state of Wu Wen, sensing the sharpness within it.

The Lingyu Book is a comprehensive encyclopedia of witchcraft, containing powerful spells, but in terms of sheer sharpness, Shen Can hasn't found it particularly sharp even after all this time.

"Master, I..."

Huo Fu spoke up, revealing that he actually wanted to become a wizard who leaned towards combat, but during the test he showed great talent for spellcasting.

How did you come up with the idea to draw this talisman?

“Master, I’ve wanted to draw powerful talismans for a long time. This morning I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, but unfortunately I still failed.”

Shen Can put the talisman into his pocket. He planned to keep it for later, when his disciples became powerful wizards, and then take it out to show them the way he came.

Just like this broken hammer.

"Come to the Ancestral Temple tonight."

……

Afterwards, Shen Can went to see his two disciples, Huo Tuan and Huo Jiang.

After seeing the disciples, they prepared to return to the ancestral temple when some clansmen ran over.

“Temple, the little dragonfish is making a fuss and won’t eat the fruit.”

……

Dragonfish Cave.

Upon seeing Shen Can arrive, the little dragonfish excitedly exhaled a string of bubbles.

"Come!"

Then, a single word popped out from the bundle of divine consciousness.

With that, the little dragonfish plunged headfirst into the pool.

This is the second time the crayfish has spoken.

Shen Can also entered the pool directly.

When this fish nest was excavated, the outer edge was very shallow, while the inner center went down to a depth of five or six zhang (approximately 10-15 meters).

Over the years, however, the little arowana has been digging holes on its own, creating a small underground cave.

Once in the water, follow the arowana downwards.

Before today, Shen Can would definitely not have been interested in messing around with this thing.

But the strange phenomena that morning made him think more.

The little arowana dug its dragon nest quite deep, reaching a depth of thirty zhang (approximately 15 meters) without reaching the bottom.

After Shen Can's divine sense descended, he was able to sense the bottom.

Upon sensing the bottom, a winding, blood-red vein, resembling a tree root, appeared in his consciousness.

Its veins branched out into a dense network of roots, which took hold in the surrounding rock walls and soil, just like a giant tree that has been rooted in the earth for hundreds or thousands of years.

"River of blood!"

The moment Shen Can saw the blood-red roots, he immediately thought of the Blood River he brought from Gufu Mountain.

The water contained abundant water elemental energy, which converged towards the blood vessels.

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

When the little dragonfish saw that Shen Can was not moving, it swam back and approached him.

"few!"

"not enough!"

"steal!"

Soon, after communicating with the fish through their minds, Shen Can finally understood.

The arowana did not sense the vein threads. It was very sensitive to the source energy in the water and felt that the source energy contained in the water was decreasing.

They thought someone was stealing the source of water energy.

After calming the little dragonfish, Shen Can used his divine sense to sense the blood-red veins he had captured.

However, most of the crimson veins were inside the mountain, and he did not perceive the entirety of them.

After sensing it for a while, Shen Can confirmed that the blood-red veins were absorbing source energy. It was only because the water source energy was abundant near the Great Swamp that the water source energy was highlighted.

The veins embedded in the soil and rocks also absorbed the source power of the earth element and the source power of the metal element.

After returning from the Dragon Fish Cave, Shen Can wondered if he should go and look through the documents he had stolen from Xiaoyang.

After returning to the ancestral temple, he instructed Ayu to go find Uncle of the Volcano Clan and collect statistics on the cultivation status of the clan's and its subordinate martial artists that day.

Then, remembering that his disciple was coming tonight, he temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​looking up the documents.

It is likely that the blood-red veins are a medium for absorbing source energy, similar to 'spiritual veins' that can change the environment of the clan's territory.

If that's the case, then the good days of scorching heat are coming.

Just like the materials used in ritual vessels, it doesn't matter how high the mountain is or how good the vessel is; it only matters if it has a spirit.

Perhaps the unusual phenomenon that occurred today during the sacrificial ceremony was not a one-off event, but rather a gradual process of change.

This also aligns with the development of a tribe.

Then, Shen Can took out the witch talisman he had obtained from Huo Fu.

After carefully sensing it, he began to deduce.

When a disciple achieves something, the master should also show his appreciation.

I can't just say, "You guys are very good at it, I'm not familiar with it, go practice on your own."

Once you've mastered it, come back and have your copy it by your master.

The master raised you all so that you could become his shamanic donkeys.

[You have used one hundred years of your lifespan to deduce the Water Control Talisman - Sword Control Talisman]
