Chapter 615 - 251: Earth Ant Battle Body—Who Is the True Earth Ant?
The Earth Ants in Dai Land are far more numerous than Xiaoyang in Yongyi, and besides, every part of the Earth Ant is a treasure.
They can be sacrificed to obtain longevity, and the "Inner Core" can be used as raw material for Witch Cannon shells, the sheep horn can be simply crafted into a Witch Artifact, and the flesh can also be refined into Blood Pills...
One wonders how these little creatures grow.
Shen Can couldn’t help but feel that the Earth Ants had already set themselves on a path to destruction.
In Yongyi, there are Huo Shan, Yann Wanyun, and Elder Lord Jishan to help manage, so Dai Land shouldn’t be too lacking.
Three days later in the evening.
Yan Ling appeared at the Side Hall with two rabbits carrying medicine baskets on their backs.
"Master, this is the batch of Witch Medicine prepared for the clan’s treasury, created using the Moonlight Power."
Upon entering, Yan Ling took out two wooden boxes from the medicine baskets.
Upon opening the boxes, each contained more than a hundred Medicine Pills, their surfaces glowing with a shimmering light.
Among them, more than thirty pills were enveloped in a layer of treasure light.
Shen Can picked up one Medicine Pill and sensed it; these pills were made at least from Tier Three Witch Medicine, and according to their age, are no less than a hundred years old.
Those with treasure light were made from Tier Four Treasure Medicine.
"Master, the usual rule—record the effects after refining for cultivation as it will help in future improvements,"
said Yan Ling, who had long learned the art of medicine from the Medicine-Mashing Rabbits and had finally gained some insights over the years.
Shen Can had always used clan members as test subjects, and now he had become a test subject himself.
Witch Medicine that has not been refined can actually be swallowed directly, but its effect is about half that of the pills refined by the Medicine-Mashing Rabbits using Moonlight Power.
In the process of refining, the Medicine-Mashing Rabbits mix various Witch Medicines and perfectly integrate them during the mashing process, greatly enhancing the potency.
Each of these Witch Medicine Pills is worth at least a thousand pieces of Source Stone, with the drug power of the Tier Four Treasure Pills equivalent to tens of thousands of pieces of Source Stone, and containing even more essence.
"Alright."
Shen Can agreed to Yan Ling’s request.
"The next batch will not be ready for another month."
Leaving the Medicine Pills, Yan Ling departed with the two Medicine-Mashing Rabbits.
Shen Can did not intend to use this batch of Witch Medicine Pills immediately.
According to the subsequent deductions of the Three-Transformation Glaze Technique, the resource consumption increases with each step forward.
The more times it’s refined, the purer the blood energy, and in turn, the less effective the Source Stones become.
Previously, when the blood energy was not well-refined, a single Source Stone’s power could turn into a strand of blood energy after circulation.
Now, after condensing to a glass-like blood energy, with the inconsistency of power within the Source Stones, it requires several dozen or even a hundred Source Stones to refine just a single strand of blood energy.
This is only because he has the Divine Power of All Transformations ability, squeezing dry every bit of power from every Source Stone and Witch Medicine he consumes.
Otherwise, these ordinary Source Stones would yield even poorer cultivation results for him now.
Higher-tier resources, Shen Can didn’t possess, except for the Witch Medicine Pills that Yan Ling brought.
The raw materials for these Witch Medicine Pills were the spoils sent by the divisions of Bi Fang and Celestial Monster from Dragon Horn.
Yet, within these Bo Divisions, which have existed for thousands of years, there wasn’t even a single Tier Five Treasure Medicine in reserve.
It could only be said that Yongyi was too small.
At the time of Blazing Flame’s first ascent to the Bo Division, Shen Can would not have thought this way; he would only have thought that Yongyi was too large.
But now it seems, to obtain higher-tier resources, one must continually expand territory outward.
Just like in the northwest direction of the sand, a huge meteor was discovered buried under the ground by his clone.
To control a larger territory now and in the future, to acquire more resources.
The bigger the domain, the higher the probability of obtaining higher-tier resources.
After collecting the pills brought by Yan Ling, Shen Can picked up the Jade Scroll that Huo Zhang had previously given him.
It contained a wealth of content, nearly recording Dai Land’s development over the past few years, with many trivial details.
To gain a more thorough understanding of Dai Land, Shen Can had been meticulously studying the content within the Jade Scroll for days.
Since he wiped out the East Marsh Soil Ants on a dark and windy night, the East Marsh Basin where the East Marsh Soil Ants resided became contested by other ant factions.
The old Clan Leader seized the opportunity to lead Star Mountain in expansion, developing two new Inheritance Mountains called Heaven-Breaking Mountain and Sword Guardian Mountain.
Currently, the cultivation of the Body Tempering Technique has spread to nearly ten thousand settlements.
It can be said that Huo Chang’s development was not rapid, because the Earth Ants implemented a division strategy, where each settlement had only a few hundred people, totaling just a few million.
But Huo Chang’s work was solid, laying a steady foundation step by step.
Steady was a necessity because Huo Chang only had one Divine Treasure Martial Artist, the original Mountain Master of Star Mountain, Luyang.
The clan’s power couldn’t be exerted further, so naturally, growth was slow.
"Earth Ants."
After finishing reading the Jade Scroll, a sudden thought struck Shen Can.
Earth Ants are beasts too.
Earth Ants are also earth-type beasts.
"Ayu, go fetch me a set of Earth Ant bones, look for the kind with patterns on the horns."
Before long, Ayu brought back a four-horned Earth Ant and placed it before Shen Can.
Shen Can used his Divine Sense to envelop the Earth Ant, examining every detail of the ant’s tusks, sheep horns, hooves, and scales.
"Go get some more, and have Huo Zhang..."
He paused, recalling that Huo Zhang was preparing for his advancement to Divine Treasure, and then instructed, "See if Shi Jun or Tian Dan has time to come over."
Soon, Shi Jun arrived at the Ancestral Temple.
"Return to Dai Land at your convenience and capture some Earth Ants with good bloodlines and unique beast patterns on their horns."
