I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 221 - 101: Celestial Vein Sixth Stage, Rapid Development (Part 2)

"First, bring out all the medicinal herbs stored within the clan. Can we produce 30,000 Tier One Vitality Pills, 5,000 Tier Two Vitality Pills, and 800 Blood Qi Pills in one month?"

Huo Yunn quickly recalled the stock of herbs within the clan, plus the quantity of herbs sent from Ji Land.

"Yes, but to increase medicine production, Ji Land will need to provide a more abundant supply of herbs. At this rate, the herbs in our clan will be depleted in less than a month."

"Additionally, we can produce thirty vats of Hemostatic Powder and ten vats of Muscle Regeneration Powder every month. However, these powders use ordinary witchcraft herbs and aren't very effective for sword and blade injuries of Tier Three Martial Artists."

After getting a specific quantity from Huo Yunn, Shen Can grabbed a tattered prescription and walked out of the Witch Hall, heading towards the blacksmith's furnace.

It now seems the constraint on production is raw materials.

Don't think 30,000 Vitality Pills is a lot; these aren't Divine Pills that allow instant breakthrough upon consumption.

The function of these pills is to equal several days or even ten days of a martial artist's usual cultivation.

With long-term use, one could advance from Stone-Breaker to Mountain Opening within half a year or five months instead of a year.

The same goes for other Vitality Pills and Blood Qi Pills.

The Iron Lodge is located in the southeast corner of the Clan City, stretching for several miles, with over a thousand blacksmiths and apprentices, and more than a thousand helpers for transportation and furnace maintenance.

Flames roared above eleven iron furnaces, with thick smoke billowing, and the clanging noises were incessant.

Huo Chong was busy with over a dozen blacksmiths, and when he saw Shen Can arrive, he walked out with a fiery spirit.

"Master."

"How many armor-piercing arrows, heavy knives, and armor plates can be produced in one month now?"

"Currently, we can produce 30,000 armor-piercing arrows per month, only 500 heavy knives, and enough armor plates for 1,000 sets."

"Have some of the armor-makers assist Aunties within the clan in repairing armor and weapons.

The rest should focus on forging heavy knives. Aim to produce 1,000 heavy knives a month. If short on manpower, select more people from the subordinates to increase production. Use this opportunity to enhance your forging techniques.

I'll have your junior brother Huo Fu assist you. You refine artifacts, and he makes runes. Work well together and brainstorm to create more Witch Weapons while some are out there battling to give you practical experience."

After leaving the Blacksmith's Workshop, Shen Can arrived at the square in the center of the Clan City.

He happened to see Little Dragon Fish bringing rain, washing the bloodstains from the armor.

A group of Aunties sat around heaps of gathered armor, sorting them out, picking out those too damaged to wear for parts to repair other pieces.

"Ancestral Temple Keeper."

"Come, the Ancestral Temple Keeper is here, let him check your..."

Upon seeing Shen Can, the Aunties suddenly became lively.

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, look at my skills. Can I sew you a robe, Temple Keeper?"

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, my boy is so obedient, take a look."

...

The Aunties continued to chatter nonstop as they worked. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Everyone quiet down, don't you see the Ancestral Temple Keeper has something to say!"

The leading Auntie stood up, her steps making a heavy thudding sound.

"How long will it take to repair these armor pieces?"

"Replying to the Ancestral Temple Keeper, although it looks like a lot, it's just three to five hundred pieces, and can be repaired in three days."

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, when will the next batch arrive?"

...

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Can squeezed out from the Aunties, feeling just a bit too young for the task. They all watched him grow up, but if he grew a beard, he might gain some authority.

Upon inspection, he realized that the current output of resources within the clan depended on the resources sent back from Ji Land.

Currently, the Blazing Flame Tribe hadn't really exerted itself.

"One Witch Pouch is still too small."

Ten days later.

Shen Can had the repaired 430 armor sets, 260 heavy knives, 500 giant crossbow arrows, and 5,000 assorted medicine balls loaded onto the Flying Ship.

Entering the Cang Mountain Division's range, there was a cry of the Cyan Simurgh, the sound calm, indicating no unusual events.

After two days, the Cyan Simurgh returned again.

Seeing Shen Can, the Cyan Simurgh opened its mouth and spat out two Witch Pouches.

"Looted."

Before Shen Can could speak, the Cyan Simurgh said, "Bigger than yours."

Shen Can grabbed the Witch Pouch with blue markings. After his Divine Sense entered it, it was indeed larger than his.

The internal space was eight zhang in size, filled with broken armor, weapons, and many with Witch Runes.

In another Witch Pouch were medicinal herbs, handwritten notes, and jade stones.

After swapping the contents of the Witch Pouch with the items on the Flying Ship, Shen Can once again placed the Witch Pouch into the Cyan Simurgh's beak.

"How is the Clan Leader?"

The Cyan Simurgh thought for a moment and replied, "Huo Chang is like a Little Dragon Fish in the lake."

"By the way, Huo Chang asked me to tell you that the campaign in Ji Land won't be ending anytime soon, and only a few tribes have responded to Ji Land's messenger seeking help from Yongyi."

"There are Witch Medicines in the Witch Pouch to enhance cultivation, including a jade box that you need to deliver to the Clan Leader personally."

"Understood."

As the Cyan Simurgh prepared to fly away, Shen Can took out a Primordial Blood Pill and placed it in the Cyan Simurgh's beak.

The incomplete formula was easily repaired here by him, producing several kinds, and he chose one with easily obtainable herbs.

Unlike the previous three types, the production of the Primordial Blood Pill was genuinely limited due to the nature of the herbs.

He had already written the required herbs in a letter and placed them with the medicine pills in the jade box.

When Huo Chang sees his letter, he will know to gather the relevant herbs.

After swallowing the Primordial Blood Pill, the Cyan Simurgh's blue eyes lit up, and then it spread its wings and soared into the sky.

...

A year later.

Blazing Flame Race Hall.

"Over the past year, within the tribe, we have repaired forty-three thousand sets of armor, forged eight thousand three hundred heavy knives, twenty thousand Bonebud Hammers, three hundred thousand Armor-Piercing Arrows, and seven hundred giant crossbows.

In addition, over thirty-seven thousand damaged weapons have been repaired."

Currently, the forging of weapons is still limited by the low quality of ores, requiring artisans to repeatedly temper them, greatly affecting the output.

We have compounded one million and thirty thousand Tier One Vitality Pills, two hundred twenty thousand Tier Two Vitality Pills, and twenty-six thousand Tier Three Blood Qi Pills, along with three hundred ninety vats of Hemostatic, Muscle Regeneration Powder, and so on."

Speaking was the Great Elder Huo Qii, while listening was Shen Can.

There were only the two of them in the Clan Hall.

"Over the past year, a total of one hundred thirteen Flying Ships of resources have been transported back from Ji Land, along with two hundred thirty-three artisans of various kinds."

Huo Qii used the clan's Flying Ships as a measurement standard.

Currently, the Blazing Flame Tribe already possesses three Flying Ships, thanks to the artisans and materials brought from Ji Land, the tribe has replicated two Flying Ships.

The flying Witch Array of the Flying Ships was personally crafted by Shen Can, who, together with Huo Chong, engraved it.

Compared to the original version, the Blazing Flame's replicated Flying Ship has a hull of only seven zhang, with speed a third slower, mainly because the raw materials for building Flying Ships are still lacking.

The ability to transport so many resources from Ji Land is due to Huo Chang later seizing three more Witch Pouches.

Every time the Cyan Simurgh flew back, it would spit out five Witch Pouches, requiring the three Flying Ships to make several return trips.

Huo Chang is now sending everything to the tribe as long as it can fit in a Witch Pouch, bringing it all back.

The Cyan Simurgh would bring back repaired weapons, medicine pills, and food supplies each time.

After speaking, Huo Qii said, "Acan, for the next few days, you will need to oversee the clan duties, as I'm about to break through to the Celestial Vein Fifth Layer."

Shen Can nodded, as he was also about to break through to the Celestial Vein Seventh Layer.

There was no choice; too many resources were being sent back from Ji Land.

Half of the compounded medicine pills were kept within the tribe.

Every batch of medicine pills compounded would be exchanged away by the tribe members.

Most tribe members had families, with several family members in each household.

The women would repair armor and farm, while the men hunted and forged weapons, and as a whole family, they could exchange cultivation pills every month.

These pills were either used for the children's cultivation or the men's cultivation.

Shen Can didn't have exact data on how much the tribe had improved.

But of the thirty-six Punishment Prison guards constantly roaming outside the Ancestral Temple, thirty-three had already advanced to the Celestial Vein Realm.

Each of them advanced in the Celestial Vein at the Power of Fifty or Sixty Desolations, about the same level of tempering as the Great Elder Huo Qii, and they may even have the chance to reach above the Celestial Vein Seventh Layer, possibly even touch the Celestial Vein Ninth Layer.

Led by Huo Yuan, all thirty-six of the Martial Hall elite had also advanced to the Mountain Opening Realm.

Thinking of this, Shen Can said, "Great Elder, since migrating to the valley, the tribe members' cultivation has been in a laissez-faire state.

I think it's time we conduct a survey of the warriors in the tribe, to see how many Celestial Veins we have and how many Mountain Openings there are."

"Okay, I'll handle that before going for my breakthrough," Huo Qii nodded and agreed.
