I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 457 - 194: The Secrets of the Witch Array

Under the sunlight, the spirit wood swayed in the spirit plant forest, specks of light falling like rain.

Within the forest, clansmen from the Medicine Division entered, beginning to clear the grown weeds.

A few innate Little Spirit Race dragged their long tails, landing on the bodies of several clansmen.

These clansmen were not sorcerers, and the wrinkles on their faces and cracks on their hands showed they were not young.

Yet the Little Spirit Race landed on their heads and shoulders, falling into a deep sleep.

Although there were traces of Martial Dao on these people, it was only the result of passing time, they weren’t even Stone-Breaker level, and their path in Martial Dao had long since ended.

Yet they were very close to the Little Spirit Race, attracting them to come over.

While the clansmen were busy, piles of rabbits wandered through the forest, checking the witch medicines with wounds, occasionally taking a sip of the medicinal qi mixed with moonlight liquid.

These Medicine-Mashing Rabbits were also very close to the clansmen upon whom the innate Little Spirit Race perched, occasionally approaching them.

Shen Can silently slipped through the spirit plant forest, entering the River Valley Ancestral Temple.

Soon, his disciple Huo Chong came rushing.

"Master." Huo Chong entered the Ancestral Temple.

Previously, during the trial for the younger generation, to determine the identity of the trial takers, the tribe’s sorcerers collected the trial takers’ blood to distinguish them.

This method was very clumsy and troublesome.

This was one of the reasons Shen Can called Huo Chong.

He explained his idea to Huo Chong, which was to craft witch tokens that could identify clan members and record basic information and combat merit points.

Of course, the witch token was just the foundation; eventually, a powerful witch artifact needed to be created to connect all the witch tokens.

Upon hearing Shen Can’s words, Huo Chong was a bit dumbfounded.

He could manage making knives, spears, and staffs, but crafting such witch artifacts seemed like a fantasy.

There was no concept of such a thing in his mind.

Crafting a hammer perhaps?

Seeing Huo Chong’s bewildered look, Shen Can didn’t scold him. At least, to his knowledge, none of the Yongyi Divisions had similar witch artifacts.

All divisions primarily focused on Martial Dao.

As for the Witchcraft Path, it mostly involved crafting armor and weapons.

It was normal for Huo Chong not to have such a concept, as everyone’s mind was set on cultivation, hunting, and farming.

Major witch artifacts aren’t easy to craft, but crafting identity witch tokens for the clansmen is simple.

The first step is to start with the clan members’ identity witch tokens, providing witch tokens for all clansmen.

After the witch tokens become widespread, the second step will involve developing the main witch artifact.

Regarding ordinary clan members with weak divine senses unable to sense the content of the witch tokens, this isn’t a major issue.

Ordinary clan members do not participate in battles, seldom leaving the tribe, mostly farming and gathering within the clan. After recognizing the owner with a blood bond, they just need to identify their fellow clan members.

For ordinary clan members, the focus remains on identifying identity.

"Master, I’ll go back and attempt to refine this."

Huo Chong nodded, "I’ll first refine a small batch and distribute them to the clansmen for use."

"Yes, besides this, there’s another witch artifact you need to lead in refining."

As he spoke, Shen Can took out the drawings and notes of the sensing witch artifact he’d envisioned earlier.

Looking at the drawings and notes Shen Can handed him, Huo Chong didn’t understand why his master’s mind was filled with such strange ideas.

Even though he was now a Tier Three Peak Wizard and had traveled a lot, understanding some of the Yongyi Divisions, he hadn’t heard of any tribe crafting these witch artifacts.

However, the issues raised by his master theoretically could be solved with witchcraft.

After Huo Chong finished looking, he immediately realized that if sensing were achieved, there would definitely need to be defensive and counter-attack witch artifacts later.

After all, for those sneaking around the clan lands with no ill intent, being killed was deserved.

"Master, our clan has a limited number of sorcerers. When I previously visited Ziyang Ruins Market, I heard of a somewhat famous sorcerer. Can we invite them to join our tribe?"

Huo Chong didn’t say the task from Shen Can was too difficult. After all, his master had just said that he could seek his master for solutions should he encounter issues, so just doing it would eventually lead to completion.

"Sure."

Shen Can nodded. For the current Blazing Flame, attracting some outside sorcerers would no longer impact the tribe’s development; it would rather be beneficial.

At this moment, he also realized he should gather and integrate the crafting and array-related inheritances of Yongyi.

In the past, there was neither the strength nor the time, but now all this could be done.

Witchcraft should be the strongest productivity, yet it had not been reflected at all.

After arranging for his disciple, Shen Can left the River Valley Ancestral Temple, heading southwest.

Just as he was about to leave the valley, he saw a Medicine-Mashing Rabbit darting into the valley.

The rabbit had an innate Little Spirit Race sitting on top, holding a herb glowing with green light, quickly entering the valley.

In a fleeting glimpse, Shen Can saw it was a witch medicine nearly becoming a treasure medicine.

Much like the Human Race’s advancement to the divine repository, witch medicine’s advance to treasure medicine was a major hurdle.

The Little Spirit Race were frail, almost never leaving the spirit plant forest before the Medicine-Mashing Rabbit came.

However, the Medicine-Mashing Rabbits were rather proficient, and unexpectedly, the cooperation between these two tribes was quite harmonious.

Shen Can pulled out his notebook, jotting down that they could recruit more tribes like the Spirit Race and Half-Spirit Race.

Subsequently, he headed southwest, towards the Yanran Division.
