Chapter 776 313: The Centennial Dragon Gate Leaping Plan! (3)

"If the Ancestral Temple Keeper has something for us, just give the orders. Although I'm a bit older now, if the Ancestral Temple Keeper commands, I can still wield a blade."

"If the Ancestral Temple Keeper has something to do, there's no need for the likes of you, old man, to wield a blade. Just step aside and let me handle it."

"If the Ancestral Temple Keeper has something, they can simply pass the order."

A group of people chattered loudly, all eyes on Shen Can, their excitement still undiminished.

"It's to have everyone become teachers."

"Become teachers?"

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, can I, a Mountain-Opening Realm Martial Artist, really become a teacher?"

"Is it to teach at the Witch Institute?"

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, what are we supposed to teach when we become teachers?"

This crowd had a head full of questions. Many in the clan had become teachers at the Witch Institute and the Martial Arts Academy, yet being specifically summoned by the Ancestral Temple Keeper to be teachers made them instinctively feel unqualified for the role.

Shen Can pressed his hands downward, and the group fell silent.

"Why not? Us Blazing Flame Clan People are each skilled, capable of moving mountains and filling seas. Over the years, how many large arrays have we built, how many mountains have we cultivated? This is all our experience.

"This time, you all will become teachers, and you can earn an extra salary and merit from the alliance. I see many of you have grandchildren; what you don't use yourself can be handed down to them."

"Alright, the Ancestral Temple Keeper doesn't see me as too old or too weak, I'll do it."

"Exactly, listening to the Ancestral Temple Keeper can't be wrong."

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, my youngest grandson is just half a year old, I'll bring him to the Ancestral Temple next time for you to hold."

"Yes, my little grandson as well."

"Mine too!"

In the face of this sudden shift in conversation, Shen Can did not stop the chatter.

"It's been a long time since our old clansmen have gathered. Tonight, right outside this Ancestral Temple, let's have a proper gathering. In the past, everyone would bring offerings to the Ancestral Temple; today, I'll provide the food and drink."

"Finally, we can enjoy a meal from the Ancestral Temple Keeper."

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, I must toast to you."

That night.

The aroma of roast meat wafted outside the Ancestral Temple, the first portion of roasted Wild Beast meat, and the first cup of wine was offered to the Ancestral Temple.

Soon, everyone sat around the campfires, drinking.

Shen Can walked around each campfire with a cup of wine, surrounded by layers of clan members eager to clink glasses with him.

Eventually, he abandoned the cup, drinking straight from the jar, accepting any toasts from the clan members.

"Being a teacher is simple, just teach the gathered people from each division how to carve the most basic Witch Rune; this is our area of expertise.

Decades of craftsmanship, everyone should have this memorized, right?"

"Rest assured, Ancestral Temple Keeper, we've long committed it to heart."

Everyone responded eagerly. While they might not have the skill to arrange a grand array, under the guidance of an Array Master, they could quickly carry out various Witch Rune carving tasks.

"Good, I have no objection to that."

Shen Can raised his cup, "But this time, you will be teaching people from Yong, Dai, and Yun provinces, from tribes, cities, and under the governance of Ranger Settlements.

Although over the past decade, our Blazing Flame has established the alliance, and the various divisions of the alliance now look up to our Blazing Flame.

But this is not enough. As teachers, besides teaching them the basic Witch Runes, you need to engage more with people from various divisions."

Shen Can's idea was simple: to impart knowledge, resolve doubts, teachers have a significant influence over their students.

By having the clan members teach others to learn the basic Witch Runes, they could subtly influence the various tribes.

This was an opportunity to have the people of the three provinces recognize the Blazing Flame, and he would not let it slip.

In the future, when the Grand Array is completed, as these people return to their tribes, the knowledge of these basic Witch Runes will naturally spread, integrating into every aspect of life.

Then, whenever they need to use a basic Witch Rune, they will remember it originated from the Blazing Flame Bo Division.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing Shen Can's words, some quickly grasped the meaning, while others, slower to understand, got the gist with others' explanations.

That night, the bonfires outside the Ancestral Temple did not extinguish, and the veteran masters from the Blazing Flame Bo Division, along with Shen Can, drank heartily.

The next day, Shen Can, as the Ancestral Temple Keeper of the Heroic Spirit Temple, issued a decree.

The Fire Witch Institute established numerous temporary Witchcraft Halls across Yong, Dai, and Yun provinces, undertaking a three to five-year short-term training for all ages from the participating divisions in the Dragon Gate Leaping Plan.

The main purpose was to cultivate a large number of basic Witch Pattern Artisans.

Simultaneously, the alliance dispatched Martial Artists to conduct a large-scale detailed survey of the Giant Mountain Range, determining the number of peaks, specific branch terrain orientations, in preparation for constructing the Grand Array.

The first batch of Witchcraft Halls was established within just a month, gathering over half a million people from various tribes.

The craftsmen from the Blazing Flame Bo Division also traveled to these Witchcraft Halls to start teaching.
