My tribe has been invincible for thirty years of gacha pulls.

The next day.

Although they won the battle against Hiranobu, it cannot be called a complete victory.

After all, the Mizubu clan also lost a significant number of men.

The tribe has decided to hold a small-scale sacrificial ceremony to send those who sacrificed their lives to the ancestral temple.

While a small-scale ritual doesn't require much attention for documentary purposes, this one was special.

So this event was very large in scale, and almost everyone in the tribe participated.

However, due to the nature of the offerings, this time it can only be a small-scale ceremony.

[Host has completed a small-scale ritual and has been granted 3 card draw chances!]

Without hesitation, Ji Shi immediately chose to use all of them, since he currently had six card draws remaining.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Gray Buff Card: Echoes of Soul Fragments!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a blue item card: Soul Fragment (Large)!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a purple item card: Soul Stone (Small)!]

Previously, it would have been quite a happy thing to draw a Soul Stone (small) from the black area in a documentary.

But now, he needs to draw the [Echo of the Soul Stone]!

For him at this stage, the [Echo of Soul Fragment] is only slightly better than nothing, since he can't use it to advance to the third tier.

The documentary even had the urge to go all in, but after thinking it over carefully, he sighed silently and gave up the impulse.

Although it seems that the tribe will not face any major problems at present, it's better to be safe than sorry.

These three extra card draws are just in case of unforeseen circumstances.

With these thoughts in mind, Ji Shi went to find his grandfather.

He dumped all his surplus resources on the other party.

Ji Shan naturally refused.

Ji Shi sighed, "Uncle Shan Shuo is almost at the late stage of the second tier, Grandpa, are you really willing to let him leave you so far behind?"

Ji Shan's expression stiffened for a moment, then he said dryly, "I'm also at the mid-stage of the second tier! I'm definitely not worse than him!"

"The key question is, if you don't have the resources, your life will just stay the same. Are you really willing to live like this forever?"

Ji Shan's expression changed again.

"You are already in the mid-stage of Tier 2. With the resources you can advance to the late-stage of Tier 2, which will bring you closer to the peak of Tier 2. Then you can advance to Tier 3."

The documentary's words left Ji Shan momentarily dazed.

How did I suddenly become a third-tier player?

Then he heard Ji Shi continue, "Once you advance to the third rank, Grandpa, you'll be able to cultivate independently. At that time, won't you be able to easily manipulate Uncle Shan Shuo?"

After listening to the documentary's analysis, Ji Shan fell into a long silence.

Finally, he sighed silently and said with a wry smile, "I have to say... Little Stone, you're really good at persuading people. I was indeed swayed by you."

Ji Shi stuffed all the things into his grandfather's hands and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Grandpa. With my strength, supporting you to the third level will be a piece of cake."

In fact, Kiyama believed this.

But he always felt a little uncomfortable using his own grandson's things.

The documentary did not linger there, but instead went to find Yan Cang.

Yan Cang and the others, who had just finished watching the ceremony, were still somewhat dazed.

They felt they hadn't seen such a scene in many years.

It's not that we've never seen a sacrifice before, but that on such a large scale, everyone is able to be very devout.

"I'm sorry, Elder Yan Cang, for keeping you waiting."

The documentary began somewhat awkwardly.

"It's nothing, actually I should be thanking you."

At this moment, Yan Cang understood even more why the clan leader had immediately chosen to invest after learning about the Jishi Water Department.

"The matter is urgent, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I've already had someone assess the quantity of the cultivation techniques and martial arts skills you brought. If there are no objections to the previous quantity of bloodstones, then shall we sign the animal hide contract and swear an oath to the Great Wilderness?"

The documentary began with a smile.

In fact, the sooner you can obtain a third-tier martial arts technique, the better, since it will allow you to popularize the technique sooner.

For a second-tier martial artist, learning this third-tier martial arts technique is not difficult at all.

However, for first-tier martial artists and those undergoing blood exchange, it's not such a simple matter.

Moreover, these third-tier martial arts techniques and skills are still copies, lacking the original charm, making them naturally more difficult to comprehend.

"Actually, I have a problem."

As Ji Shi pondered these things, Yan Cang spoke hesitantly.

This made Ji Shi pause slightly, and then he asked, "Elder Yan Cang, please feel free to ask any questions you may have."

Even if the price is a bit higher, documentary filmmakers will still pay for it.

Because the opportunity to obtain such a large quantity of third-tier martial arts techniques and skills is extremely rare.

As mentioned before, the Trace Stone Water Department must seize this opportunity to develop rapidly in order to gradually gain a foothold in the ensuing chaos.

In comparison, the chances of obtaining bloodstones are much greater.

Furthermore, since this is an installment payment plan, an increase of 40% on top of the original amount is still within the acceptable range for the documentary.

"The price offered by the Chronicles Guardian for the Bloodstones was too high. Our clan leader's idea is that we only need to pay 40% of the amount you mentioned, since it's not a very valuable item anyway."

Although his heart was bleeding, Yan Cang still chose to repeat his clan leader's words truthfully.

"this……"

Just as the documentary was about to engage in a confrontation, it quickly realized that something was amiss.

The other party didn't say the price would increase by 40%, but rather the original amount of bloodstones.

In other words, the other party reduced the price by 60% on top of the original price?

After figuring all this out, the documentary was immediately dumbfounded.

Even he didn't know what to say at that moment.

This was the first time he had ever encountered a transaction involving cutting off his own major artery.

In fact, not only the documentary team, but even the remaining members of the Crimson Flame Clan were somewhat bewildered at this moment.

They knew exactly what this meant; it was Bloodstone, a resource of the tribe!

If the previous transactions yielded bloodstones comparable to medium or even large bloodstone mines, this time, after negotiating the price, they only received small bloodstone mines.

However, they dared not say more.

One reason is that they don't want to reveal their differences in the face of documentary material.

Secondly, judging from the expression on Elder Yan Cang's face, he clearly did not approve of the deal either.

It's obvious that this really is the clan leader's will, so there's nothing they can do to stop him.

In fact, not only them, but even Ji Shi looked at Yan Cang with some hesitation at this moment.

"Elder Yan Cang, are you... really sure?"

"Of course I'm sure."

Although Yan Cang had been giving himself psychological suggestions during this time, when he actually said it out loud, a trace of heartache still inevitably arose deep in his heart.

But what pained him even more was that the documentary did not agree immediately; instead, it stood there, lost in thought.

This almost made Yan Cang spit out a mouthful of blood.

What does this mean?

Don't you believe him?!

"Elder Yan Cang, may I ask what your tribe's chieftain's intentions are?"

Ji Shi's expression gradually became serious, and he was beginning to feel intense curiosity about the Crimson Flame Tribe Chief whom he had never met before.

Seeing that the documentary was getting serious, Yan Cang was slightly taken aback. Then, a serious expression appeared on his face as he pondered the words the clan leader had told him.

He quickly organized his thoughts: "The chieftain said that in this vast wilderness, any tribe that has developed to your level has something to offer. This investment is essentially a contribution. If possible, he hopes to become allies with the Jishi Water Tribe. Even if we can't become allies, at least we shouldn't be enemies."

After saying this, Yan Cang thought of the clan leader's instructions and glanced at the people around him.

The group was stunned for a moment, becoming even more bewildered.

What are they preparing to say that even they cannot know?

Despite their immense curiosity, they ultimately chose to leave.

Then Yan Cang took out three pieces of animal skin paper from his pocket and pushed them in front of Ji Shi.

The latter glanced at it briefly and then froze on the spot.

Because this thing is actually a fourth-tier martial arts technique!

No wonder Yan Cang chose to keep it close to his body; its value is indeed worth it!

Seeing this, Yan Cang laughed and said, "The guardian of the record should not be too surprised. This is a one-time use item. It is inscribed with witchcraft. Once you learn it, the text will disappear. Before our tribe is destroyed, those who learn this technique will not be able to pass it on to others in private."

Even with its many limitations, it is priceless in the eyes of documentary filmmakers!

Because this thing is essentially equivalent to a fourth-tier entry ticket.

Having mastered these fourth-tier techniques, one will at least have a path to advancement.

"Don't worry, Chieftain, these three items don't require bloodstones. Our clan leader said they're all extras."

After a long silence, the documentary team spoke again: "What exactly does your tribe's chieftain want?"

Based on the documentary's perspective, given these two conditions, unless the other party forces Mizube to commit suicide, he would not be able to refuse.

He certainly didn't think this was just a simple investment. Although these were renewable resources for the Crimson Flame Tribe, tribes like the Trace Stone Water Tribe were perfectly willing to pay a high price.

Yan Cang sighed: "The Crimson Flame Tribe has developed to this point, but in fact, many internal problems have emerged. This is a common problem for many tribes in the Great Wilderness in their later stages of development."

"The clan chief said he doesn't know how long he can keep the suppression going, but the fact that the Jishi Water Tribe has developed to this point and is still so united is something he has never seen before in his life. So he wants to build a good relationship with you without causing any turmoil to the Chiyan Tribe."

"If one day in the future the Crimson Flame Tribe really encounters problems, I don't expect the Guardian of Records to be able to save the Crimson Flame Tribe..."

"At least, it can leave a spark for the Crimson Flame Tribe."
