I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

However, during the initial development of the Blazing Flame Tribe, he made undeniable contributions.

"It was an unexpected incident during the experiment to draw the Sun Array, standing behind his disciple, hit by the explosive energy of the array."

As Ayu said this, Shen Can had already walked out of the hall.

"Where is he now?"

"Being treated jointly by the witch doctor and medicine-mashing rabbit."

Then Ayu saw Shen Can’s figure disappear into the night.

He paused for a moment, then sat on the steps somewhat dazed, wishing he could fly like that.

...

Nowadays, within the Blazing Flame Tribe, branches of the Blazing Flame Spirit Tree are everywhere, and in recent years, the rise in source power has allowed witch medicine to be planted all over the clan land.

Some commonly used witch medicine from the Great Wilderness is found throughout the clan land.

Yet, to the east of the clan land, there remains an area where source power is even more abundant, the spirit trees are lush, and fruit trees can be seen everywhere.

Under the trees, various rare witch medicine grows in abundance, and occasionally, Tier Four Treasure Medicine can be seen running.

This is also where the medicine-mashing rabbits and the Innate Little Spirit Race live.

In the middle surrounded by spirit trees, on a wooden platform, moonlight is drawn in, and dozens of medicine-mashing rabbits are dancing together, mashing medicine.

Below the platform, Huo Fu, wrapped entirely in a layer of green jade-like ointment, twitches occasionally, and heat still emanates from his body.

A group of people gathered around Huo Fu.

"Master."

"Master."

"Grandmaster!"

When Shen Can descended from the sky, everyone below the platform knelt down.

One was slower to react, originally kneeling below the platform, Yan Chong directly changed direction in his kneeling position.

His body was also tatters from the impact of the flames, leaving scorch marks and burns.

"Grandmaster, Master was severely injured to save me. As his disciple, I am willing to accept any punishment."

Shen Can glanced around, seeing not only several disciples present but also many of their disciples.

Over the centuries, from the original seven disciples, there are now more than fifty disciples’ disciples, of which thirty-one are Tier Three.

Frankly, Shen Can had hardly met a few of these descendants, and others were seen occasionally when his disciples brought them to him.

"All stand up."

Upon hearing Shen Can’s words, everyone, disciples, and disciples’ disciples rose one after another.

Shen Can raised his hand and waved towards the kneeling Yan Chong.

Yan Chong felt an irresistible force pulling him up from the ground.

Before Shen Can arrived, he clarified the cause and effect and immediately checked Huo Fu’s condition.

He found Huo Fu’s injuries indeed severe, his body scorched black, with fire qi surging within, severely burning his organs.

Across the void, Shen Can reached out towards Huo Fu below the platform and extracted the fire qi from his organs.

This fire qi shimmered with golden yellow amidst the red, resembling golden rays spilling.

Fortunately, the array’s scale wasn’t large enough; otherwise, not only Huo Fu but also the tribe members who constructed it would have suffered greatly.

The disciples saw the fire qi drawn from Huo Fu by Shen Can and sighed slightly with relief.

With Master here, they felt at ease.

It wasn’t until dawn that Huo Fu, lying on the wooden bed below the platform, finally stabilized with the dual therapy of the medicine-mashing rabbit’s moonlight treasure pill and witch medicine ointment but would need more time to fully recover.

Huo Fu was then sent for recovery.

Shen Can led a group of disciples and disciples’ disciples to the side hall of the Ancestral Temple.

The disciples rarely saw Shen Can in fact, and it was difficult to gather everyone on usual days, not to mention with so many disciples’ disciples.

As for the disciples’ disciples, their encounters with Shen Can were even less frequent.

"Azhong."

Shen Can spoke then.

"Master."

Huo Chong rose and approached Shen Can, having participated in tribal forging for many years; he had become bald, with a reddish face.

Huo Chong’s eight disciples also rose, followed behind him, and knelt before Shen Can.

"Master, this is my eldest disciple, Yan Tan, whom you’ve met before, now responsible for forging warships in the tribe."

Yan Tan had certainly met Shen Can, but not many times, compounded by Shen Can’s twenty years in seclusion, making disciples feel even more distant.

"This is the second disciple, Yan Shu, now handling the forging of witch weapons, having recently learned the forging techniques of the Bi Fang Bo Division, has begun forging Tier Four lower-grade witch weapons."

"This is the third disciple, Shi Chang, fourth disciple, Zhong Yang, fifth disciple... currently still assisting me."

According to the order of the seven disciples, each introduced their disciples to Shen Can. For the disciples of the recovering Huo Fu, Huo Chong, as the senior brother, guided them to greet Shen Can as a stand-in.

From the faces of the disciples’ disciples, Shen Can saw excitement and apprehension, as well as deep reverence.

In the past, when Shen Can took on disciples, there were few in the tribe with witch cultivation talents, then being able to cultivate witchcraft was good enough.

Nowadays, the disciples recruit disciples who are top talents in the tribe.

Each has been cultivated even better than their masters, showing signs of surpassing their forebears.

These disciples’ disciples practice witchcraft, covering many aspects like symbols, medicine, spirit plants, arrays, tools, healing, and pills.

"Now, witchcraft in Yongyi is weak, and besides our Blazing Flame Division, other divisions can only forge low-tier witch weapons and concoct simple witch medicine."
