Chapter 458: Chapter 194: The Secrets of the Witch Array (2)

Just like Blazing Flame, Yanran is about to be promoted to Bo Division. Yanran has been developing for over a hundred years more than Blazing Flame. Shen Can thinks the life within the Yanran Tribe is still worth observing.

A month later.

Yanran Division.

Muo Xiao’s death gave the Yanran Race Leader a new lease on life.

The entire tribe is immersed in the joy of the forthcoming promotion to Bo Division.

Early in the morning, dozens of hunting teams rushed out of the clan land, heading north into the mountains to start hunting.

For a large tribe with nearly a million people, the daily consumption of meat is substantial, so daily hunting has become routine.

Blazing Flame Tribe members have dispersed, reducing the hunting pressure. Each settlement has chosen locations close to mountains and water, with beasts and fish, making food less of a burden.

In several settlements he passed through, Shen Can also saw some women who would cook an egg for the children every morning.

Within the settlements, many are attempting to rear pheasants, desolate rabbits, and Mountain-Splitting Kui on a small scale.

This can’t be seen within Yanran Tribe. Young men go out hunting, women and elders farm at sunrise, and at night they cut, cure the wild beasts they’ve hunted.

As it seems, many tribes are like this, passed down from generation to generation, never thought of changing.

Some tribe members began to leave the clan land, some even driving slaves, starting to busy in the fields they’ve opened nearby.

Fields scattered around, here a patch, there a patch, scattered.

The region is immensely vast, extending beyond sight, places suitable for farming around all planted.

Though they’ve moved beyond slash-and-burn agriculture, they haven’t thought of further improving the seeds, simply relying on extensive planting areas to increase grain yield.

Shen Can saw clearly Yanran Tribe’s martial force, one Divine Treasure Realm Yann Wanyun, four senior Celestial Vein Ninth Layer, possessing a secret technique for combined strikes, barely matching the Divine Treasure Realm.

This secret technique seems limited, other Celestial Vein Ninth Layer Martial Artists within Yanran Tribe don’t use it.

The number of wizards within Yanran Division is large, more than ten Tier Three. But in daily buildings within the tribe, witch runes are almost unseen.

These ten-plus Tier Three Wizards just stay at their own places, outside attended by servants, slaves serving them in cultivation.

For wizards, common Yanran Tribe members hold reverence.

Leaving Yanran, the feeling Shen Can gets, this so-called promotion to Bo Division is just an advance in Martial Dao.

Achieving Divine Treasure is equivalent to Bo Division, from common tribe members to Divine Treasure Realm Yann Wanyun, all perceive it as such.

Of course, that includes his past self.

Divine Treasure and Bo Division equate.

Aside from Martial Dao having Divine Treasure beyond, others’ witchcraft or tribe member living standards, martial arts cultivation techniques follow the inherited way for generations.

This way is, let’s say, able to sustain, able to cultivate, occasionally, might emerge a Divine Treasure, but nothing more.

Leaving Yanran, Shen Can passed through Jishan Bo Division. Compared to Yanran immersed in excitement for promotion to Bo Division, Jishan Clan Land appeared peaceful.

Within and outside Hill Race Territory, river valleys, fields blossomed in greenery, bustling people everywhere.

Compared to Yanran’s rough farming, Jishan Bo Division’s grain planting much more regulated, river valleys housed large flocks of ducks, herds of Cyan-Horned Horses on the plains.

Some rode flying birds traversing the mountains, surveying the surroundings.

Shen Can didn’t enter deep into Jishan but stood afar atop the mountains overlooking, glancing around, Jishan Bo Division had witch talismans flickering only sparsely in two or three places.

Later, he turned toward the old clan land eastward of Ji Land within Jishan Bo Division.

The old clan land differed slightly, some mountains bore witch talisman marks, remnants belonging to defensive runes enhancing mountain strength.

Beyond, no further application of witchcraft discovered.

...

Bi Fang Bo Division.

Clan Hall.

"You’ve come to my Bi Fang to forge a witch artifact, is indeed the right choice, in all of Yongyi no tribe matches our Bi Fang in crafting."

Lord Bi Fang looked at the silhouette robed in hemp cloth, body teeming with blood energy as blazing as fire, unabashedly extolling Bi Fang’s prominence in forging aspects.

He could clearly see under the hemp robe, muscles displaying dense scales.

Though the visitor concealed well, couldn’t evade his fire pupils.

"Tier Four Witch Artifact, best can nurture witch spirit."

Shen Can spoke, currently appeared as a Beast Martial Artist.

Surely disguising a bit, just enough for Lord Bi Fang, a mid-stage Divine Treasure Realm Martial Artist, to perceive his beastification.

Yet, Lord Bi Fang towards his beastification marks, showed no trace of astonishment or disgust.

"Tier Four Witch Artifact, yet to produce witch spirit?"

Hearing this, Lord Bi Fang chuckled.

Not understanding witch artifacts, coming wanting to craft one possessing a witch spirit, are witch spirits akin to roadside weeds?

"Sir, crafting Tier Four Witch Artifact, impossible to give birth to witch spirit.

Only through acquired means can nurture, needing capture of innate spirit race inclusion in the artifact, also requiring spirit ban to contain spirit race."

On hearing, Shen Can felt Bi Fang Bo Division’s methods inadequate.

Like this, yet claiming Yongyi’s premier forging Bo Division?

"Our Bi Fang Bo Division’s artifact refining heritage, received from then Lord Yongshan Bo Division, ancestral passing down stated, non-Tier Five can’t nourish witch spirit.
