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

Chapter 420 Advancement of the Witchcraft Path to the Sixth Rank, Revitalizing the Trade Routes

"Been taught a lesson."

Shen Can clasped his hands in thanks for the warning from the Dragon Clan's eldest prince brought by Canglong.

This secret is the same as the Daoist spiritual object that Manager Canglong shared before.

If Canglong hadn't told him, Shen Can wouldn't know when he would have found out.

However, something that can be explained in a single sentence can contain very important information.

The Dragon Lord, a seventh-order being, and the Dragon Prince, a near-seventh-order being, were collecting Daoist spiritual objects, which would greatly benefit Shen Can's subsequent cultivation.

Next, the Human Alliance should also be arranged to start from this aspect, not only to prepare for his subsequent cultivation, but also to build up future reserves for more warriors in the alliance.

However, according to what Manager Canglong said, the major holy races of the alliance were going to develop the ruins together, which was beyond Shen Can's expectations.

He originally thought that even if the Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom didn't develop itself, it would at most involve the Baxia Dragon Clan, but he didn't expect that all seven clans would come together.

From this perspective, Zhangshui Dragon King was also a dragon with great spirit.

This is something that doesn't seem like something an old silver dragon that only knows how to writhe would do.

Of course, for a seventh-order being, the Zhangshui Dragon Lord's hobby is nothing. If he can't roam freely at the seventh order, then all his cultivation at the seventh order would be for nothing.

The Azure Dragon Steward waved his dragon claw and continued, "The seventh rank is different from other realms. You can't reach the seventh rank without comprehending it yourself."

"The Crown Prince sent back a message saying that seventh-order spiritual objects are forbidden to enter this ruin, but there are seventh-order spiritual objects and Daoist spiritual objects inside."

Therefore, after the various races that were summoned this time entered, in addition to handing over the seventh-tier spiritual items they obtained, half of the remaining spiritual items also needed to be handed over to the Holy Race.

However, you humans are exempt. You only need to hand over the seventh-tier spiritual items you obtain, and the rest, however many or how many, belong to the human race.

The Azure Dragon Steward didn't consider how many Daoist spiritual objects the human race could find. Such things are rare and hard to come by; how many the human race could obtain was entirely a matter of luck.

"Manager, how many races are going this time?"

"There should be dozens, but apart from our major holy races, each of the other races only has a thousand slots."

"The reason why so many races have been gathered is that each race in the Great Wilderness has its own unique talent."

The specific situation within the ruins, especially the various spiritual restrictions, is still unclear. Perhaps the talents of a certain race are perfectly suited to the environment within the ruins, and they will be able to obtain more spiritual items in the future.

Upon exiting the ruins, all those who entered will be searched, and anyone found smuggling anything will have their entire clan exterminated.

As he spoke, the Azure Dragon Steward looked at Shen Can and said, "Young friend, several saints have been watching over this ruin. You, who have made a contribution in discovering the ruin, have already caught the attention of the saints."

If the human race can focus on its development in the future, it will surely have a smooth journey within the merchant alliance.

Therefore, never try anything funny at the ruins, lest you displease the Crown Prince and disgust the Sage.

Seeing Canglong speak so intimately, Shen Can stood up and toasted Canglong's steward with a glass of wine, saying, "Of course I'm sober."

Seeing that Shen Can understood his words, Manager Canglong nodded and then said, "These three thousand men should include both fourth and fifth rank personnel."

Of course, it's normal for humans to have war beasts; they're all considered part of their combat strength.

"I'll toast the manager again."

After the two of them drank dozens of jars of wine, Shen Can finally saw the Azure Dragon steward off.

The departing steward, Canglong, clutched a large clam pearl, chuckling as he walked away.

The pearls weren't high-grade, only fifth-tier, not even enough for the Azure Dragon Steward to have a bite of.

But he just loved this thing; even if he didn't use it for cultivation, it was pleasing to the eye to place in his cave.

The Chamber of Commerce hasn't announced anything about going to the ruins yet, so Canglong is sending a message ahead of time.

With the Azure Dragon Steward's advance notice, the human race could make arrangements in advance, avoiding such a chaotic situation.

In addition, during the banquet, Canglong also gave a detailed account of the situation inside the ruins that the Crown Prince had explored.

This site is very large, belonging to a vast settlement of a race.

It contains many precious medicines and spiritual items, which can be used by all races.

There are also many auxiliary medicines for the Xuanling Divine Liquid here.

The area is teeming with countless spirits, large and small, and is teeming with poisonous insects, snakes,

These few words may seem like a few sentences, but for Shen Can, they can be used to make some preparations for the fourth and fifth tier humans who will enter the realm.

The alliance can prepare small-scale formations, antidote potions, and corresponding weapons and armor in just a few days.

It's also easy to draw manpower from three thousand people; one thousand can be drawn from the fifth tier, and two thousand from the late or peak fourth tier.

There aren't many fifth-tier beast king alliances, but there are plenty of fourth-tier ones. The Kui Niu clan, the Medicine-pounding Rabbit, and auspicious beasts can all join the human race.

Half of the Kui Niu clan went, including their leader, who was already at the sixth level.

It would be normal for a fourth or fifth-tier human to be paired with a sixth-tier beast king, since they would be mutually attracted.

Many of the warriors in the alliance came from the ranks of battle masters, having studied battle formations and being able to team up for combat.

Thinking about this, Shen Can felt that he could deduce a temporary equal alliance contract, which would come in handy later.

Half a month later, Shen Can deduced the basic structure of the star map formation and taught it to the Weaver Girl.

After receiving instruction from Shen Can, the Weaver Girl began to gather people and get busy.

On the other side, the alliance quickly dispatched three thousand people and war beasts, who traveled by warship to Tu Shang Ancient City.

All the humans who were transferred to the area formed a temporary, equal alliance with the Kui Niu, the auspicious beast, the medicine-pounding rabbit, and other creatures.

Of course, the fleet that came to the ancient city had more than three thousand people. There were also a group of pharmacists, craftsmen and wizards below the fourth rank.

Within the league, some people may not be very strong, but they possess exceptional professional skills.

For safety reasons, they do not enter the ruins.

These people waited outside, using communication devices to support the people and beasts entering the ruins.

Even if the communication device becomes unusable at that time, the injured and poisoned can still be treated after the alliance members come out.

……

Here in the ancient city of Tushang.

Yunlei City has been renamed Yongshan City.

The shops in the city have become more lively, and occasionally three or five treasure ships come from afar and land in the city.

A treasure ship, over a hundred feet in size, landed on a high platform built in Yongshan City for mooring ships.

On the treasure ship, a group of alien races with scales on their bodies walked upright were revealed.

Then, a burly figure jumped off the treasure ship and roared loudly.

Then they saw figures following closely behind, unloading large boxes from the treasure ship and carrying them into the city.

Wow!

As they were carrying it, suddenly a figure 'accidentally' knocked the box over to the ground, and when the lid was opened, it revealed a pile of glowing potions.

Seeing this, the leader yelled angrily and kicked the worker twice.

This attracted the attention of some people passing by in the city, most of whom looked at the exposed witch medicine.

The Great Wilderness is home to many races, each with its own unique medicinal methods, so there are almost no universally applicable precious pills.

However, one thing is universally acknowledged: the stronger one's blood and qi, the greater one's strength.

Correspondingly, precious medicines that can replenish qi and blood are also the most popular.

As long as this precious medicine is not poisonous, the only problem is absorption; some races absorb less, while others absorb more.

At this moment, what is revealed in the overturned treasure chest is a precious medicine to replenish qi and blood.

Those coming to Yongshan City to sell resources can either rent shops within the city or sell directly to humans. This alien clearly intended to sell resources directly to humans, and immediately began the handover with the human steward.

After receiving the receipt, the leader of the alien race went to a side hall to collect the source stones.

Upon entering the main hall, we saw that this alien race bypassed the front and entered the side hall at the back of the main hall.

"Boss, this is the third batch. I can't keep doing it. I'm just being pulled around like an idiot all day."

Upon entering the side hall, the alien leader immediately began to complain to the figure inside.

"If you won't do it, do you expect me to?"

Tian Ji, the deputy director of the Merchant Guild, stared wide-eyed at his complaining clansmen.

"Take your source stones, buy some spiritual items in the city, and leave immediately."

"When you come back, remember to change your appearance."

"Boss, I can't transform into any other forms. I only have a few types of Wild Beast Battle Body techniques, and I've used them all up."

"Get back to work."

"Okay, I'll go pay the bill right away."

Seeing that Tian Ji was angry, the visitor stopped arguing, grabbed a few spiritual fruits from the table, stuffed them into his mouth, and turned to leave the side hall.

In business, the more people there are, the more people are attracted; the fewer customers there are, the less likely living beings will come.

In order to revitalize trade in Yongshan City, the human race began to impersonate merchant caravans, attracting various races to trade.

Of course, it's impossible to rush in all at once at the beginning. The plan is to gradually increase the number of caravans and creatures coming to Yongshan City over a period of three to six months.

On the alliance side, the Merchant Guild summoned its members, who disguised themselves as various creatures and came over every day, giving the impression that the human alliance had abundant resources and were in high demand.

The results are quite good; currently, many genuine foreign races have come to purchase resources.

However, no sixth-tier human forces have appeared in this area for many years, and people's stereotypes about humans are too strong.

Change is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Two months later.

Outside Yongshan City, a large black bear strode along. The bear had a very large nose, somewhat resembling an elephant's trunk.

On its head, there was a huge honeycomb.

A buzzing sound rang out incessantly, and bees kept crawling in and out of the hive.

“Bear Luo, there’s another city ahead. Let’s go take a look and see if there are any spirit flowers or good honey.”

After the elephant-nosed bear Luo entered Yongshan City, the beehive above its head shook, and a golden spirit bee the size of a watermelon flew out, circled once, and sniffed hard.

"There's the scent of top-quality honey here. It's just ahead, over there. Hurry up, hurry up, let's go take a look."

The elephant-nosed bear, accompanied by the spirit bees, quickly entered a human treasure pavilion within the city.

“Bring out your best spiritual honey; I can smell it.”

As soon as I entered, the bee greeted me.

Zhou Tian, ​​the head of the merchant guild on duty inside the pavilion, immediately recalled some information upon seeing the elephant-nosed bear.

The Elephant Bear Tribe and the Golden Bee Tribe are located south of the Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom. The two tribes complement each other and thrive together.

The Golden Bees collect honey to feed themselves and the Elephant Bears, while the Elephant Bears help cultivate the Spirit Flowers and protect the Golden Bees.

The two groups are compatible and can befriend each other.

"This way, please, esteemed guests. Lingmi will be right there."

……

As time went by, more and more alien creatures came to Yongshan City.

Some races that the Human Alliance had agreed to treat with humans poorly, such as the Yuanxu Clan warriors who sacrificed millions in a single blood sacrifice, also came sporadically, searching for some rare resources.

In Yongshan City, the creatures of the Yuanxu tribe also concealed their fangs.

Now, all the creatures in the ancient city of Tushang know that the human race has a prince from the Zhangshui River behind them.

As its popularity grew, people from other races gradually began to come to visit.

After Yongshan City was established, Juyue City was also completed, and the Human Alliance began to move in and start selling resources.

Shen Can remained stationed in Yongshan City and personally oversaw the city's defensive formations.

At this time, the major holy clans of the Tu Shang Alliance issued a unified decree, ordering each clan to select personnel to participate in the exploration of the ruins.

The departure date is set for six months from now.

However, no specific details about the ruins have been released.

Not long after, the three thousand men selected from the Juyue Mountains also arrived in Juyue City.

With several months to go before heading to the ruins, the group didn't sit idle after arriving; they took the opportunity to help manage the two trading cities.

Taking advantage of this time, Shen Can also secretly went out and broke into a hole.

He then raised his level of witchcraft to the sixth rank.

Upon advancing from the fifth to the sixth rank, his Divine Court underwent another qualitative change. Not only did the area of ​​his Divine Court expand by nearly five times, but his divine sense also became more solid.

Compared to the sixth-order Returning to Truth Realm of humans, where the transformation into beasts occurs in the physical body, the sixth-order Great Witch Realm of humans begins with the transformation of their soul.

Even if a sixth-tier martial artist transforms into a beast, there is still a chance that they will retain their humanity. At most, they will have more beast marks on their body, the most common being the growth of scales and horns.

However, once a sixth-tier Grand Wizard 'beastifies,' he will lose his mind and become a mindless 'demon,' committing acts of slaughter.

This was something Shen Can deduced through his own cultivation; he had never yet witnessed a true sixth-order human demon.

While there are still rumors about sixth-tier martial artists, there has been no news of sixth-tier great witches in Tu Shang Ancient City for so long.

Shen Can himself returned to his original state from the flesh and blood, and later advanced to the sixth level of witchcraft, thus avoiding the danger of falling into demonic possession.

……

A few days after Shen Can broke through to the sixth-tier wizard realm and returned to Yongshan City, Steward Canglong came to his door.

This time, not only did the Azure Dragon arrive, but it also brought a Baxia.

"Young friend, this is Cangshui, a steward under Prince Bizhen."

Old Baxia glared at the Azure Dragon Steward and said, "Young friend, my name is Canghai, and his name is Cangchong."

Upon hearing this, Shen Can understood that these two old dragons must be old buddies.

After staring at Manager Canghai for a long time, Manager Canglong finally turned his gaze back to Shen Can. "Young friend, are you ready?"

"The person has arrived and is ready to go to the ruins at any time."

"At that time, a dragon boat will come and lead all the tribes across the mountains and rivers to the ruins."

As the Azure Dragon Steward spoke, one of his dragon scales lit up and a piece of scale fell off.

"This is the Crown Prince's token."

“This is my crown prince’s token.”

A dragon scale flew out from the body of the steward of Canghai who was standing to the side.

"Young friend, as you know, my family has a few more princes and kings... a little more, and some of them are very talented and are favored by the Dragon Lord."

These princes will also be bringing some creatures with them to the ruins. If any conflict arises, these two tokens might come in handy.
