I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself Chapter 455 - 193: Journey Abroad

Under the night sky, Shen Can and Huo Chang took the flying ship to return once more to the clan land.

Upon returning to the clan land, Huo Chang headed directly to the clan tower, ready to ascertain the number of clan mbers with a foundation similar to Huo Zhang’s.

Shen Can took the tribe data back to his residence outside the ancestral temple, prepared to examine the data record carefully once more.

The oil lamp flickered and illuminated the sleeping hall until dawn.

Shen Can got up, ready to go to the ancestral temple for cleaning, only to see his ntor, Huo Xian, was already up.

He hunched his body and tightened his beast-skin coat.

With the tribe’s strength increasing, and the daily necessities of at and witch dicine secured, Huo Xian’s body had beco much more robust.

Whenever Shen Can was absent, as long as Huo Xian felt well, he would do the cleaning himself.

As for the other witch priests attending the ancestral temple, they could only sweep the ground outside and sprinkle water.

"Master."

"I saw you leaving with the clan leader yesterday and thought you wouldn’t return today."

Huo Xian spoke with a smile, as he slept deeply, not noticing Shen Can’s return.

Shen Can stretched and walked to Huo Xian’s side, entering the ancestral temple together.

"Life is better now; our ancestors never had such soft fur for cleaning."

In front of the offering platform, Huo Xian polished the sacrificial artifact.

After the cleaning, Huo Xian went out to prepare the al.

Ayu was always there to serve, but Huo Xian preferred not to be attended to and chose to cook by himself.

"Share a al with this old fellow today?"

Shen Can nodded his head.

Upon hearing this, Huo Xian instructed Ayu to get busy. The small stove soon ignited flas, and a copper cauldron was placed over the fire.

Soon, steaming at and rice were served on the table, with Ayu skillfully laying out the bowls and chopsticks.

"Co, let’s eat together."

Huo Xian held his smooth stone bowl filled with at and millet rice, disliking the copper utensils sent by the clan.

"This rice is nice; it was brought specially by the witch priest from the Puhu Mountain settlent when they ca to the ancestral temple for cultivation.

They said it was a newly improved seed from their settlent along with the agricultural division; it tastes sweet."

The rotation of settlent witch priests to the ancestral temple for cultivation had long beco customary, and even without Shen Can’s presence, old Huo Xian would et them.

Previous generations of Ancestral Temple Keepers were universally respected.

Shen Can found it indeed tasting good. He hadn’t paid much attention to the agricultural improvents over the years, focusing primarily on martial cultivation, even disregarding witchcraft for a long ti.

"How is it, not bad, right?"

Huo Xian smiled as he watched Shen Can finish eating, asking.

"This sweet millet, when cooked, is sticky, definitely loved by the little ones. I think these young wizards should be rewarded."

"And this at, top-quality at is delivered daily, and previously, a clan mber brought a self-raised horned sheep.

It was a lamb that accidentally got its head crushed by a rock while climbing, looking unrecoverable.

After they slaughtered it, they sent the at to . The at tasted good, but you were not at the tribe at that ti."

The al was mostly Huo Xian speaking to Shen Can.

After the al, Ayu cleared the bowls and chopsticks, and Huo Xian brought a cup of water to Shen Can.

This treatnt was the sa as when they were in the mountain, always his master serving him.

"I see your eyebrows furrowed; did sothing happen in the clan?"

Placing the water before Shen Can, Huo Xian asked.

Huo Xian wasn’t entirely clueless; despite staying in the ancestral temple, during short-term training when settlent witch priests ca by, he would engage in exchanges.

He knew quite a bit about what was happening in the settlents.

"Nothing else, just that our clan division warriors have increased, and I’m thinking of organizing so to travel and expand their horizons.

After all, we are about to ascend to Bo Division, and we can’t just remain a horse breeding group as referred to by other tribes in Yongyi."

Shen Can did not hide anything from Huo Xian; this idea ca to him after returning the night before.

Currently, the number of warriors in the clan had sharply increased, and without external enemies, many Celestial Vein Martial Artists were idle in the clan.

Instead of doing nothing, it would be better to go out and explore, observing the situation in Yongyi, and gaining so knowledge.

This kind of firsthand sight and experience is incomparable to the descriptions in the Blazing Fla Atlas compiled within the clan.

"Indeed, they should go out and see. We rose from the mountains and forests, truly a modest small clan; others have inherited thousands of years, worthy of learning."

Huo Xian fully agreed with Shen Can’s idea.

"In the past, we had Xiaoyang externally as a danger, and the tribe strength wasn’t strong."

Now with the tribe strength increased, even if clan mbers encounter danger when out, they don’t need to fear, as a strong tribe backs their exploration."

Upon saying this, Huo Xian looked at Shen Can.

"Acan, my old bones are still functioning; you should also go out and explore, take a look around Yongyi.

When I was the Ancestral Temple Keeper, the corner of the ancestral temple was my place, and the clan just numbered two thousand.

Now you are the Ancestral Temple Keeper, and the clan counts four million, things are different now."

"The Giant Mountain’s north-south valleys, clan land, two places account for four million populace, two million vassal tribe mbers; you need to guide their lives."

"This is also one of the duties of our Ancestral Temple Keeper."

...

Two days later, Huo Chang began deploying personnel, replacing so clan soldiers’ positions, and arranged Huo Zhang to serve as Heavy Blade Guard Commander.

Furthermore, under the na of ’approaching the Bo Division ascension, and clan mbers lacking broad perspectives,’ a portion of Celestial Vein clan people were organized to travel south.

This mission was sothing the clan mbers, including Huo Qii, eagerly welcod, soon starting to leave the tribe successively.
