I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 141 - 72: Huo Chang’s Great Opportunity, the Legacy from His Predecessors (Part 2)

The Commander of the Blood Curse Guard, Shi Jun, is currently making great efforts to find the Gourd Blood Witch. One can imagine that once this Blood Witch, who has cursed Shi Jun's tribe, is found, the consequences will be dire.

Huo Yunn now carries a heavy burden, being both the Director of Agriculture and the Pharmacist, while also completing the task assigned by his master.

Fortunately, the Witch Hall is no longer just the seven siblings.

The number of third-generation Witch Cultivation apprentices has already reached one hundred and seven.

Among these one hundred and seven, thirty-three were identified from the Blazing Flame Headquarters Division, and eleven from the original thirty thousand subjects.

It should be known that Blazing Flame Headquarters and the thirty thousand subjects had previously been tested once already.

Upon learning of these results, Shen Can speculated that the odd phenomenon previously seen with the Sacrificial Tripod Cauldron was the cause. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

This batch of Witch Cultivators entering the Witch Hall greatly compensates for the shortage of Ox and Horse Wizards within the tribe.

The seven disciples both teach and lead tasks simultaneously.

As for secluded cultivation, Blazing Flame does not yet have the conditions for them to focus solely on cultivation; this balance of cultivation and task is just right.

Shen Can does not involve himself too much in the training of the third-generation Witch Cultivators, but occasionally enters the Witch Hall to solve certain cultivation issues.

Only those with exceptional talent will receive his personal guidance.

Unfortunately, no outstanding talents have been found in this batch so far.

In a few years, when the third generation of Witch Cultivators matures, there will be no shortage of hands.

While the Witch Hall is experiencing great development, the Martial Hall is even more impressive.

The Martial Hall recruits children aged ten to sixteen for training, and after preliminary testing, a total of eight hundred were accepted.

The previous Temple Guards, including Huo Yuan and twelve others, were also thrown into the Martial Hall.

To motivate these youngsters to cultivate diligently, Shen Can established a rule of holding martial contests every six months in the Martial Hall.

Any cultivator from the Martial Hall, regardless of origin, as long as they achieve the top twelve ranks, they can come to the Ancestral Temple.

While guarding the Ancestral Temple, they receive personal guidance from the Ancestral Temple Keeper.

Besides cultivation in the Martial Hall, the tribe has not restricted Martial Dao cultivation and has distributed the middle-grade Kui Ox Fist to various settlements.

...

In front of the clan leader's seat, the desk is piled with numerous Beast Hide Scrolls and wooden slips.

Wooden slips are used for daily information transmission, and are easy and fast to make.

"Increase the archery field?"

Shen Can picked up one of the wooden slips from the desk, which contained a request for building a new archery practice field.

"Yes, because that group of youngsters from the Martial Hall always goes to the West Mountain Camp to practice archery, and the targets are simply insufficient."

Huo Qii answered Shen Can without raising his head, "This group of kids are like wild beast cubs, they fear nothing, and even engage in combat with the clan soldiers while practicing archery, crying out loudly after being defeated, but they still come back next time."

West Mountain Camp was named by the tribesmen, simply because the camp is located on the west side of Clan Mountain.

"This is quite good."

Shen Can spoke, "Don't bother finding another place to build an archery field, just expand the targets at the clan soldiers' camp, as eventually the practitioners from the Martial Hall will join the clan soldiers; it's good for them to experience the camp in advance."

"Alright, let's do just that."

Huo Qii nodded and noted it down beside him, then prepared to order the tribesmen to carry it out.

"No other matters, I'm leaving."

After skimming through the wooden slips and Beast Hide Scrolls on the desk, Shen Can found that they were all daily affairs of the tribe, which Great Elder Huo Qii could handle.

Huo Qii wanted to speak up but found that Shen Can had already walked out of the Clan Hall.

Looking at the pile of wooden slips on the desk, Huo Qii felt a sense of being a significant person with high-status power.

After leaving the Clan Hall, Shen Can did not rush back to the Ancestral Temple.

Upon returning this time, the layout on Clan Mountain had undergone some changes.

The Ancestral Temple is at the highest point, straight down is the Clan Hall, and they form the central axis of the clan land, with the Witch Hall to the left of the Clan Hall.

As for the Martial Hall, it was placed on the slope at the back of Clan Mountain.

The area there is large, and martial training requires a spacious area for cultivation, making the back mountain location just perfect.

Below the Clan Hall is the residential area of the tribesmen.

After reconstruction, the residences for the tribesmen also underwent some changes; they are no longer simple stone houses.

Based on family size and the strength of tribesmen, some courtyard houses were built, allocated to different tribesmen.

Not all tribesmen live on Clan Mountain; some have established courtyard houses by the water.

...

Half a month later.

The Martial Arena on Clan Mountain.

Huo Chang stood with a sword in hand.

Opposite, Shen Can raised his hand, and a veil of water vapor quickly transformed into a storm rushing toward Huo Chang.

Buzz!

The long sword in Huo Chang's hand, without the infusion of blood energy, issued a violent buzzing sound, dispelling the falling water vapor.

As blood energy infused the long sword, its blade took on a layer of bloody color, cutting toward the storm.

The blood energy on the sword seemed to ignite, flickering with semi-transparent flames, as it cleaved the storm in front.

Fervent war intent surged endlessly, conveying an undaunted spirit that would never back down from any formidable enemy.

With each sword strike, the storm would be shattered.

Clang!

With the emergence of a resounding clash, the war intent heightened once more, finally unleashing a streak of blood flame from the sword, sweeping across Huo Chang's surroundings.

In its path, waves echoed like rainbows, with endless sword light enveloping a radius of several feet.

Until Huo Chang sheathed his sword, the blade continued to resonate.

"Huh!"

Huo Chang gasped for breath, intending to speak, but Shen Can's voice reached his ear.

"Open your mouth!"

A jade green Jade Dew was flicked by Shen Can into Huo Chang's mouth.

Shen Can noticed that the sword skill Huo Chang cultivated contained exceedingly strong war intent, and had already propelled Huo Chang's entire body's blood energy to an extreme state.
