Chapter 77: Chapter 48: Huo Shan Breaks Through to Celestial Vein!

Shen Can led Huo Shan, Huo Qii, and over twenty Mountain Opening Realm Martial Artists, bypassing Upper Lake Division, taking advantage of the night to load the resources taken from Upper Lake Division into the Witch Pouch.

Without any pause, they headed north back to the tribe.

As for Upper Lake Division here, Huo Chang and the other clan members were enough.

This time, it was a great harvest.

Except for some low-tier rice, animal hides, etc., most of the essential resources were moved away by Shen Can.

As for the ancient books and Cultivation Techniques, the Spirit Rice Cultivation Method hidden in the Ancestral Temple of Upper Lake Division, Huo Chang would naturally make a copy to bring back.

Blazing Flame Division.

In the short days of leaving the tribe, on return, Shen Can felt the clan division was increasingly vibrant.

“Uncle Huo Qii, go and ask the Hidden Guard if there have been any changes with the hundred plus raw tribe people in Upper Huang Division.”

“Uncle Huo Shan, go catch a few rabbits; fish will do as well.”

Given the situation at Upper Lake Division, Shen Can recalled the part of the Upper Lake Division left behind.

This group of people was under tight surveillance from the moment they arrived.

Tribal mountain over the past two years, as the number of Martial Artists increased within the tribe, has added Hidden Guards outside the Visible Guards.

Visible Guards are led by clan members to guard belonging citizens, but Hidden Guards were directly done by Blazing Flame Clan People.

One of the Hidden Guards was right facing the valley where Upper Huang residual citizens lived.

Initially, it was to guard against extra situations with ’Iron Wood’, but now Upper Lake Division was turned into a foul land, even if there were any changes among these hundred plus residual citizens, it was unlikely to stir big waves.

Shen Can still remembered those two ’Iron Wood’, Xiaoyang Alien Race was killed by them, and he couldn’t figure out the specific origin of ’Iron Wood’.

These two ’Iron Wood’ were a great disaster and needed to be resolved sooner or later.

…

“Acan, welcome back.”

In front of the Ancestral Temple, Huo Xian came forward, looking energetic.

Shen Can responded with a smile, “Master, I’m back.”

“Alright, I’ll cook, everyone come and eat later.”

Huo Xian did not ask much now, understanding it would be pointless to ask, as he couldn’t keep up anymore, better to cook a meal.

Taking advantage of this moment, Shen Can first went to the Witch Hall and then to the cave.

Little Dragon Fish was sleeping soundly with its belly up.

The fruits on the water surface didn’t appear to reduce.

“Blub.”

Still blowing bubbles while sleeping.

…

Returned to the Ancestral Temple, after the meal.

Shen Can looked at the four rabbits and over ten fish caught.

He used his Divine Sense as a blade to divide a few threads of blood-stained Jade Liquid, feeding them to two rabbits and two fish respectively.

It didn’t take long for an unexpected outcome.

The rabbits became irritable, their breath chaotic, bleeding from their nostrils and mouths, fur turning red.

The fish scales burst open, started attacking their kind.

Shen Can, comparing two boxes of Jade Liquid with Divine Sense, found the blood threads were permeating into the Jade Liquid.

After entering the Jade Liquid, the blood threads were like tree roots branching out, winding and weaving.

And the aura of the blood threads was somewhat similar to the aura emitted by the skull used by Xiaoyang Alien Race during previous cultivation.

This guy deliberately used blood to taint the Jade Liquid.

Such pure substance not directly refined, but rather stained, what was the rationale?

Over the following days, Shen Can frequently conducted experiments.

Finally confirmed one thing, Xiaoyang such Alien Race couldn’t eat fine bran thoroughly.

Pure substances cannot be enjoyed, only by blood-soaked and then refined.

Moreover, taking a direct bite, the energy impact was indeed somewhat large.

Shen Can also discovered that the infiltrated blood threads could be extracted, as the pure Jade Liquid inherently repelled such foreign blood contamination.

Though the extraction method was slightly troublesome, requiring some time.

…

“Acan.”

Huo Shan entered the Ancestral Temple.

“Has your Qi Strength not increased?”

“No, I thought I could have a good fight this time out, but didn’t catch the chance, that monster got shot dead by everyone’s arrows.”

“I feared getting blown up by the monster.”

Shen Can, unceremoniously, took out a stone bowl filled with green soup.

From the last few days of experiments, he found that Jade Liquid, when placed in wooden tools, would absorb and lose; stone reduced such loss.

“Drink it.”

Seeing the green soup exuding rich fragrance, Huo Shan didn’t hesitate, gulped it down in three big sips.

Though the soup had a cool aura, it felt like a scorching current flowed out from the chest after swallowing it, the sensation of Qi Strength growing from previously eating meat was back.

Huo Shan put down the stone bowl and began cultivation.

Shen Can avoided to a corner, watched Huo Shan cultivate, soon saw his entire body turn crimson, as if a furnace was burning inside.

The Jade Liquid in the jade box was divided into a hundred parts by his Divine Sense.

Only one portion was used for Huo Shan to make the soup.

The effect was truly good.

It could completely serve as a Treasure Medicine for tribal Martial Artists to impact Celestial Vein beforehand.

Of course, not everyone could use it, at least couldn’t be much weaker than Huo Shan.

For a full half hour, Huo Shan cultivated before stopping, as if emerging from the soup, steaming hot with swollen veins on crimson skin.

“Acan, I feel my Qi Strength has increased significantly.”

“Go back and rest for two days, if anything feels off, come find me.”

After Huo Shan left, Shen Can also brewed himself a bowl of green soup.

Ten days later.

When Huo Shan drank the fourth portion of Jade Liquid, his Qi Strength finally broke the Power of Seventy-Two Desolations.

Meanwhile, Shen Can also consumed four portions of Jade Dew Soup, but barely increased by the Power of One Wilderness.

Yet, this One Wilderness was satisfactory for him, indicating the bottleneck in Qi Strength cracked open slightly.

He intended to sprint to Power of One Hundred and Eight Desolations before advancing to Celestial Vein.

As Jifu mentioned, the Lingyu Race Clan Chief of the current era broke through Celestial Vein exceeding Power of Seventy-Two Desolations, but exactly how much was a secret.

Lingyu Tribe’s Clan Chief selection was stringent, it hadn’t deceived Cyan Bird, Ape Mountain Divisions.

Lingyu Tribe indeed held Clan Son trials, once every thirty years, every time selecting from nine major veins and various branch veins.

It could be a Martial Artist or a Wizard.

Anyway, becoming a Clan Son was only the first step, competition would follow, after all, the Clan Chief doesn’t step down within a mere ten years or so.

Spanning decades, Clan Son positions are as respectable as Elders.

Without a Clan Leader stepping down, a Clan Son remains a Clan Son.

And the number of Clan Son positions is limited, trialing every thirty years, there will be competition between old and new Clan Sons.

Until the Clan Leader steps down, then the next Clan Leader will be decided, depending on who remains victorious over these centuries.

In Shen Can’s view, it seemed more like a talent selection mechanism under the name of inheriting the Clan Leader.

In such circumstances, these people have to earnestly solidify their foundation.

Just half a month later, Huo Shan successfully generated blood energy, entering the Celestial Vein Realm.

Inside the Ancestral Temple.

Huo Shan received “Kui Thunder Skill” in both hands.

Shen Can wasn’t stingy with Jade Liquid either, after Huo Shan acquired Power of Seventy-Two Desolations, he offered Huo Shan three portions of Jade Dew Soup, but absorption effects weren’t better than his own, who exceeded Power of Hundred Desolations.

Instead of further exhaustion, he opted to promote Celestial Vein Realm.

In the martial arts field.

A booming sound arose.

Huo Shan punched out with his fist, facing Huo Qii like a meteor, crashing into the mountain with a booming sound, leaving a deep hole.

“Hey, Brother Qii, you said you’d go all out.”

Seeing the hole, Huo Shan scratched his head.

He didn’t even exert half of his strength, the first Celestial Vein hasn’t fully connected yet.

Brother Qii was almost breaking through the second Celestial Vein.

“Cough cough… drag my ass out, I got embedded in the rock and can’t move.”

Once Huo Qii was pulled out, his arms after the punch drooped, his whole body hurting everywhere.

“Brother, thanks for not killing me.”

“Acan, give me some Medicine Balls, everything hurts, I feel my bones are broken.”

…

Another month passed, Clan Leader Huo Chang returned leading the team.

At this moment, Shen Can finally reached the Power of One Hundred and Eight Desolations.

In total, he consumed forty-one packets of Jade Dew Soup.

But what followed was an upheaval.
