I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Blazing Flame City, outside the Water Gate.

One treasure ship after another is entering and exiting the gate in an orderly fashion.

The inbound treasure ships are packed with ores and witch medicines, while the outbound ships are filled with weapons, grain seeds, and witch medicine pills.

Since the Four Guardian Zones were established in the northern Ji Land, hundreds of vassal tribes have been gathered, with the population exceeding tens of millions.

These tribes surround the Ruins Market, establishing clans outside the city, cultivating and mining, exchanging ores and witch medicines for high-quality grain seeds, weapons, and finished witch medicines.

The Blazing Flame Tribe dispatched witch priests to each tribe to teach the unified Great Wilderness characters as well as the Body Tempering Skill and cultivation techniques.

Talented young witches and martial artists are selected to enter the Martial Arts Academies and Witch Institutes set up within various Ruins Markets for training.

During their training, those with exceptional talent and character can go to the Blazing Flame Headquarters Division for cultivation.

This series of strategies from daily life to training has promptly made the vassal tribes honest.

Growing grain, digging ores, exchanging them at Blazing Flame for more high-quality weapons and witch artifacts, cultivating witch medicine.

In just a few years, the Four Guardian Zones have smoothly integrated millions of their subordinates.

Treasure ships sail through the Guimu River, delivering ores and witch medicines collected by vassal tribes to the Blazing Flame Tribe.

Although most of the ores are of low quality, they greatly alleviate the tribe’s needs.

Before this, besides relying on their own mining, the tribe had to purchase ores from various Ruins Markets in Yongyi.

Blazing Flame has set up shops in several major Ruins Markets in the Luo Region, engaging in large-scale material trading with some tribes.

On this day, in the Yu Region, Bi Fang Ruins Market City.

As a city established outside the clan by the Bi Fang Bo Division, it is said to be the largest place for ore trading in all of Yongyi.

The largest building complex in the city center is the Bi Fang Divine Weapon Hall, owned by the Bi Fang Bo Division.

This Divine Weapon Hall is also where the Bi Fang Bo Division sells witch weapons, occasionally hosting Divine Soldiers Exchange Conferences.

"What, prices have increased again? A Tier Three Upper Grade Witch Weapon costs a whopping fifteen thousand Source Stones."

A martial artist dressed as a ranger walked out from the Bi Fang Divine Weapon Hall, looking somewhat displeased.

It’s not just this ranger; many martial artists coming out of the hall showed signs of discontent.

The witch weapons of the Bi Fang Bo Division have all increased in price.

In Yongyi, even larger tribes have artisans who forge their own weapons, but when it comes to celestial vein martial artists and elders, they all prefer coming to Bi Fang to purchase a witch weapon more suitable for themselves.

This is the reputation the Bi Fang Bo Division has built in Yongyi thanks to its excellent forging techniques over the years.

Standard weapons created by tribes are nowhere near as well-suited as custom-made weapons.

Some tribes even go as far as purchasing batches of Tier Two Witch Weapons and Armor directly from the Bi Fang Bo Division.

"Steward Bi, Steward Bi, let’s go let’s go, we’ll discuss it over a meal."

At the side door of the Divine Weapon Hall, a steward from the Bi Fang Bo Division was pulled into a Food Pavilion by an elder from the Xuanming Tribe.

After a satisfying meal, the elder from the Xuanming Tribe spoke, "What’s the matter, Steward Bi? Our tribe’s batch of weapons and armor can earn your division quite a bit, why not accept it?"

After finishing the meal, Steward Bi didn’t hide the truth, "To be frank, the clan is going to seal the furnaces, even the Fire Dragon Furnace will be sealed, let alone the furnace for making ordinary witch weapons."

"Why suddenly seal the furnaces?"

Steward Bi shook his head, "This is the clan order from the clan leader and elders, we stewards just follow it.

Didn’t you see that even the Tier Three Witch Weapons in the hall have increased in price?

There’s no choice. Once sealed, who knows how many years before they reopen."

The elder from the Xuanming Tribe was also a bit taken aback. Why suddenly shut down?

This time the tribe came to purchase batches of Tier Two and Tier Three Witch Armor and Weapons, and now the Bi Fang Bo Division won’t accept them.

"Steward Bi, is there truly no way?"

Saying so, the elder from the Xuanming Tribe took out a witch medicine from the witch pouch.

"Think of a way."

Upon seeing the witch medicine, Steward Bi shook his head gently.

"It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but it’s a furnace-sealing order directly from the clan chief, and even the Fire Dragon Divine Craftsman has entered closed-door cultivation.

If you were asking to make just one or two pieces of Tier Three Witch Weapon, then it could be managed.

Our Bi Fang Bo Division has many artisans, and I have several friends among them who can find outside furnaces for you.

But you are asking for two thousand pieces at once, I am powerless, and your division also has artisans, why not take your time and forge them yourselves?"

Ultimately, Steward Bi pocketed the witch medicine in his witch pouch, contently returning to the Divine Weapon Hall.

Upon hearing some dissatisfaction at the hall’s entrance, Steward Bi laughed coldly.

Complaining about the price hike? Wait a little while and the prices will be even higher.

...

The news of the Bi Fang Bo Division’s furnace-sealing spread quickly, causing an uproar in a Ruins Market founded on weapons and ores as the fire furnaces for smelting ores and forging weapons are to be sealed.

The Blazing Flame Bo Division also has a small shop in the Bi Fang Ruins Market, named Flame Pavilion, primarily for purchasing rare ores.

Rangers, caravans, and others from all directions bring ores here, hoping to sell them at a good price.

The manager of the Flame Pavilion is Huo Yang, a brawny female martial artist, not inferior to a man.

Back then, Huo Yang and Huo Tu together discovered the Blood Witch in the Land of the Sunk Ship.

Currently, Huo Tu oversees the war soldiers, and Huo Yang, due to her efficiency, was promoted to Celestial Vein level in Martial Dao and then came to the Bi Fang Ruins Market.

"The price of Tier Three Witch Weapons from the Bi Fang Division’s Divine Weapon Hall rose by forty percent, Tier Two Witch Armors increased by twenty percent, and there’s talk of the Bi Fang Bo Division sealing the furnaces and quenching the fires."
