After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 69 Kui Lei Changqing Gong, Two Tribes Striving for Progress

On the banks of the Zhushui River.

Two figures gazed at the surging river, while several figures stood solemnly in two directions in the distance.

"Old bird, do you think this is true or false?"

Chief Ape Peak of the Ape Mountain tribe spoke.

"It's just a matter of a batch of slaves," Canghe, the chieftain of the Cangniao tribe, replied.

“Indeed, if he is indeed the young master of the Lingyu tribe, even if he is from a branch, he is someone we can only look up to. Now that he has come to our mountainous region, we must make contact with him.”

Yuanfeng muttered to himself, as if speaking to Canghe.

The news brought back by the elders of their two families prompted them to convene a clan meeting overnight.

The news is truly astonishing.

The young master of a branch of the Lingyu clan, a great figure whom their ancestors had never met in generations.

After discussing it, they all decided to try it regardless of whether it was true or not, just in case it was really meant to drive them.

"Old bird, you're smart enough to analyze this. Why didn't the young master of the Bo tribe bring more people? Why did he have to use our small tribes?"

The crane didn't even bother to answer Yuanfeng's question and turned to head east.

"My first batch of two thousand slaves will be ready in three days. Let's send them over to check them out first."

"Three days? You've brought out all your mining slaves."

Yuan Feng was taken aback. Two thousand people was no small number. Although they controlled the market, it would take them far more than three days to mobilize them.

"Okay, let's head north together then, so we can look out for each other."

The question received no response from Canghe, and Yuanfeng, unconcerned, quickly led his people away.

Why the young master of the Bo tribe branch would use people from these remote and small tribes was a question that had already been discussed at the clan meeting.

Analysis of the information brought back suggests that it was precisely because he was the young master of a branch that he dared not bring more people from the Bo tribe.

They cannot confirm how many major lineages the Lingyubo tribe has, but there must be a distinction between the main branches.

Although they were from a small department, they understood the difference between the main body and the branch.

This young master of the branch line is probably afraid that the main line will come and steal his dragon fish.

……

While the two departments were busy gathering slaves, Shen Can was not idle either.

[After spending three hundred years of your lifespan, you have finally located the starting point of the first Heavenly Meridian in the cultivation technique diagram. You have drawn in your blood and qi to open the first Heavenly Meridian within your body.]

The beginning of this cultivation method is difficult. Once you open the first Heavenly Meridian, your blood and energy will circulate within it, and you will gradually sense the starting point of the second Heavenly Meridian.

Ten years later, you found the locations of the third and fourth Heavenly Veins, and channeled your blood energy into them to open them up.

[With your four celestial meridians connected, your blood and energy surge and cover your entire body, accompanied by thunderous sounds emanating from within.]

[You were preparing to press on and find the location of the fifth Heavenly Vein in one go when suddenly your throat tightened, and you involuntarily let out a 'moo'.]

[Moo moo moo, you mooed for a year before you finally realized that you are a Kui Niu, not a cow, because the cultivation technique diagram is not from a purebred Kui Niu.]

Six months later, you suddenly realize that you are not a Kui Niu either.

You finally regained consciousness and realized that you were covered in scales and thick fur.

You were startled awake.

……

call!
Inside the cave, Shen Can awoke with a start, his eyes filled with horror that took him a long time to suppress.

mutated?
Inference is more like a prediction, reflecting what might happen in the future.

It would be strange if he wasn't astonished by this scene.

It's normal to be able to learn something well and become proficient at it.

But if they turn into beasts, that would be a big problem.

He thought of the mutated mermaid, Zifu, which was clearly not an isolated case.

After leaving the ancestral temple and wandering around in the mountains, Shen Can calmed down.

There's no other way in this situation; we have to deal with whatever comes our way and try again, even if it means sacrificing our lifespan.

The martial arts diagram obtained from Shanghuang seems to be somewhat related to the Kui Niu Fist practiced by the tribe.

Shen Can named this newly derived technique "Kui Lei Longevity Technique".

The reason for this name is that after opening the Heavenly Meridian, there were martial arts thunder sounds when the blood and qi circulated.

In addition, it was his own earnest expectation that martial arts cultivation was a form of life evolution, which would naturally lead to a significant increase in lifespan.

A certain level of spiritual attainment corresponds to a certain lifespan.

At the very least, it shouldn't be like it is now, where there isn't much difference in lifespan between those with celestial lineage and ordinary clansmen.
This doesn't seem like how life should evolve.

... Half a month later.

Shen Can was still organizing the specific cultivation details of the Kui Lei Chang Qing Gong when the volcano entered the ancestral temple.

"Ah Chan, those two groups have arrived with slaves, there are at least three or four thousand of them."

Upon hearing this, Shen Can realized that the two tribes were quite ambitious.

With three or four thousand people, if the Blazing Flame Tribe were to capture them alone, who knows how long it would take or a year, and how much manpower it would consume.

Now, not only do we not have to catch them, we even deliver them to our doorstep.

"How many more days of travel are left?"

"Two or three days, it'll take longer to move with so many people."

"That's enough. It's our first time visiting, so we can't show weakness. We should give them some benefits as well."

Shen Can nodded. He had already decided what to give as a reward to the two tribes.

This item is extremely rare for both tribes, and it also reflects the high status of the Bo tribe.

……

Inside the cave, where steam wafts gently.

"Chief Ape Peak of the Ape Mountain Clan greets Young Master Fu."

"Canghe of the Azure Bird Tribe greets Young Master Fu. We have already brought the first batch of slaves over."

When Yuanfeng and Canghe entered the cave, Huotang was already inside, which made the two of them take a few more glances.

The fish, disguised as a Lingyu, slept soundly in the pool, allowing the two clan leaders to clearly see its appearance.

Just then, Yuanfeng suddenly spoke up, "Young Master Fu, it is an honor for us, a humble member of the Mountain Wilds, to meet the Lord of the Upper Division."

Our land is barren and yields little of value, but we happen to have some unrefined wine to offer to our young lord. We hope it will not defile your palate.

Upon hearing this, Canghe looked at Yuanfeng in shock.

He had known Yuanfeng for decades, and he swore on his own head that these words were definitely not something that a roughneck like Yuanfeng would say.

When they met at Zhushui, he told Yuanfeng that he would send a batch of slaves first, thinking that Yuanfeng would only send slaves as agreed between the two.

Now, Yuanfeng is not only sending slaves, but he's also currying favor with them.

Backstabbing, a blatant backstabbing.

Yuanfeng glanced smugly at Canghe, then turned and shouted towards the cave entrance, "Bring it in quickly!"

The monkey-like creature carried in a jar that was over a foot tall and decorated with gold-painted lines.

The jars used to hold the wine were not made of coarse pottery.

Canghe stared at the wine jar with resentment, thinking, "You son of a bitch..."

"Young Master Fu, this is a second-grade peach wine produced by our department. It is slightly sweet and is offered to you for your daily enjoyment."

"How can there be wine without food?"

Canghe also spoke up, "Our tribe has no wine, but we were fortunate enough to obtain a method for raising birds before, and we raised a few Azure Feather Sparrows. This time, we specially brought sparrow eggs and smoked sparrow meat."

Now, it was Ape Peak who started glaring at the Crane.

Didn't you agree that we'd send a batch of slaves here first?

Yuanfeng knew that the wine he brought out was not considered anything special in the Lingyu tribe, but this was a remote mountain area.

It doesn't matter how high the quality of the items is; what matters is that Saruyama's team has put in their best effort and brought out their finest.

If he were to bring out the drinks today, wouldn't he be making a huge splash?

What a great opportunity! That bastard Canghe is as cunning as ever.

Luckily, I listened to my wife.

If it weren't for prior arrangements, the Azure Bird Division would have been the only one standing out today.

Shen Can looked at the peach wine and bird eggs. Huo Tang had mentioned before when he returned from the market that the unique treasures in the three parts were almost never revealed to outsiders.

Now, they're rushing to bring it up.

The arrival of the two tribal chiefs in person was not unexpected.

This matter concerns the future development of the entire tribe, so it will inevitably be taken seriously.

This can be seen as a confirmation of his identity by both documents.

……

"Let the Blazing Flame tribe handle the arrangements for the slaves. Their tribe is located near water and has the advantage of water resources, so we should settle the people along the riverbank as soon as possible."

Shen Can gestured for Huoshan to put away his things and said, "Go and do it as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Huotang bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I will do my best."
