The two functions do different things.
SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file() specifies the cert that is to be used by the
specified CTX to identify *itself* to the peer. It expects to also be used
with SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file().
SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(), otoh, is expected to load CA certs that
will be used to verify the certs offered by peers.
