I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 476 - 200: The Witchcraft Path Within the Yongshan Witch Artifact

The promotion of the Blazing Flame to a Bo Division is considered a significant event in the Ji Land.

But outside the Ji Land, although there are some rumors, everyone just treats it as occasional idle chatter.

After all, the Ji Land itself is a frontier, and Northern Ji is even more peripheral.

No matter how meticulously Shen Can prepared the ’military parade,’ it was like playing the lute to a cow.

In short, a single promotion of Ji Land’s horse slaves to a Bo Division cannot change people’s attitudes.

However, the external influence doesn’t affect the development of the Blazing Flame Bo Division at all.

The vast land, the obstruction of thousands of mountains and rivers, without special circumstances, no one bothers to pay attention to the development of other tribes.

Here in Blazing Flame, a sweeping literacy campaign for the vassal tribes has begun, with one Flying Ship after another landing in various vassal tribes.

This literacy campaign progresses quickly, and the vassal tribes are all cooperative.

In addition to cultivation techniques, all the tribes’ collected notes, travel journals, and other literature were brought back to the Blazing Flame Bo Division for unified editing.

Taking their place is the Blazing Flame Atlas issued by the Blazing Flame Bo Division, which covers clothing, food, shelter, travel, and various rumors and common knowledge.

All vassal tribes will start by aligning their clothing, food, shelter, and travel with the main division, Blazing Flame.

Within the Blazing Flame Race, tribe members have their roles, even young women are tending to crying babies.

Only the current Clan Chief, Lord Huo Shan, is idly cultivating.

In the past, before he became Clan Chief, he could still go out to handle tasks, sometimes fighting Xiaoyang, other times visiting the Luo River.

Now, with nothing else to do, Huo Shan can only cultivate.

Sitting cross-legged above the Stone Tower Clan Hall, a small Wood-Fire Witch Array emitted gurgling Wood-Fire Source Power, which he absorbed into his body bit by bit.

Acan said it, Brother Atang also said it, his task is just to cultivate and occasionally look at clan affairs handled by the elders.

Huo Shan’s idle management naturally results from the efforts of other clan elders and members.

...

One thousand two hundred miles north of the Blazing Flame Race Territory, a hundred-mile mountain range forms a crescent-shaped valley.

Within the valley, numerous stone courtyards and halls are scattered, some surrounding water bodies, others clinging to cliff walls, ready at any moment to feel the mountain winds.

Occasionally, figures come and go, though they do not appear numerous and always seem to be in a hurry.

At the highest cliff, the Witch Ban flickers, hung with a Wooden Vine Wooden Hall.

Inside the hall, a gray-robed clone of Shen Can is explaining a combination method for Witch Talisman Spirit Ban to four gathered Tier Two Wizards.

During the dozen years of clan construction, the tribe’s various wizards and witches received substantial training.

Even witchcraft cannot escape the concept of practice bringing true knowledge; after more than ten years of toil, the clan’s wizards combined practical experience, compiling a curriculum suitable for teaching.

Based on current clan development, this curriculum currently classifies into four levels: basic, Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three.

And basic-level witchcraft can be explored not only by witches but even ordinary people.

For example, a Zuyou Technique to repel mosquito bites, chanting a few witch runes as witchcraft can alleviate and eliminate them.

This part overlaps somewhat with the Witch Doctor Skill.

In times past, there was no precise classification in witchcraft cultivation; many spells naturally grew stronger with a wizard’s level advancement.

For Witch Talisman Spirit Ban, however, it’s somewhat different.

As the level increases, the bans become increasingly complex, necessitating the derivation of new methods to combine them.

As for returning back to basics, that’s not yet something to consider.

This curriculum closely aligns with practical applications; it’s sufficient for teaching in the short term and can cultivate a large cohort of practical wizards within the clan.

The current state of wizards in the clan is one of semi-work, semi-cultivation, practicing while also participating in the clan’s development.

To provide an appropriate cultivation environment, a wizard cultivation area was established within this mountain range.

Named the Great Witch Institute.

The name wasn’t chosen by Shen Can but was spontaneously called by the clan’s wizards.

The meaning is clear and straightforward, as everyone hopes to become a Tier Four Great Witch.

Besides practicing Witch Talisman Spirit Ban, the Great Witch Institute also offers cultivation for various witchcraft.

The previous Witch Hall has also been integrated into the Great Witch Institute in response to the situation.

In addition to the Great Witch Institute, the surrounding area also includes the Zuyou Institute for cultivating witch doctors and myriad auxiliary branches for weaving, breeding, smelting, agriculture, forestry, all integrated into Shen Can’s cultivation system.

From orally passed-down experience to texts and illustrations that can be taught, attempts to combine with witchcraft begin.

The Zuyou Institute is separated from other branch systems because many practice witch doctor skills, and some even switched directly from wizardry.

Compared to weaving, breeding, smelting, and others, it is relatively large in scale.

However, Shen Can has already ordered that as each branch system develops, it can independently claim its name.

Following reforms, divisions like Military, Medical, and Martial directly rely on the Great Witch Institute, Zuyou Institute, and these branch systems to form an integrated model of learning, research, and creation.

Compared to the diverse landscape of witchcraft, Martial Dao cultivation is much more straightforward.

After stepping down as Clan Leader, Huo Chang became the Martial Arts Institute’s Principal, establishing the Martial Arts Academy less than a hundred miles from the Great Witch Institute.

Compared to the tranquility of the Witch Institute, the Martial Arts Academy is far livelier, frequently organizing field trials to battle Wild Beasts and clear the scattered Xiaoyang.
