Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel

Through this period of observation, Chu Zheng discovered a drawback of relying on totems for practice.

The totem will continuously warm and nourish the physical body. Over time, the physical body will naturally become more powerful. However, correspondingly, a strong physical body cannot rely on the totem to extract spiritual energy to maintain food and clothing, and requires a large amount of energy supplements for consumption.

Relying on totem cultivation, even those with a cultivation level like Lie cannot give up eating and need to hunt wild beasts.

When he was concentrating the blood of wild beasts, the blood-colored divine beads used by Lie were called molten beads. Their main function was to refine the essence of flesh and blood and use them as food for the tribe.

In this small tribe, there is no way to open up a folding space. Carrying the flesh and blood of wild beasts is a waste of time. Moreover, the accumulation of a large amount of bloody aura will also attract powerful predators, which can easily bring disaster to the tribe. .

In addition to this shortcoming, the lifespan of these totem monks is relatively short. If the immortal monks practice to the realm of divine transformation, supplemented by life-prolonging medicine, it is not difficult to live for thousands of years.

The fake immortals in the Tongxuan secret realm can live longer than ten thousand years.

However, Lie, as the most powerful person in the Wangshan tribe, only has a lifespan of less than 500 years.

In addition to the method of totem cultivation, there is another path of cultivation in Dongyuan Realm, called "Witch".

Witches have many different methods, including healing wounds, controlling wild beasts, calling for wind and rain, and even predicting the future. There are many magical powers and secret methods.

Relatively speaking, the longevity of witches is longer. Today, the witches in the Wangshan tribe have lived for more than a thousand years.

The power of the witch's soul is extremely strong, but the physical body is very weak. Therefore, the witch can rely on the powerful soul to maintain the vitality of the weak body and live longer.

However, the requirements for practicing witchcraft are relatively high, and a lot of preparations need to be made before birth.

In the fetal state, witchcraft will be applied, and in the innate state, it will begin to absorb Yin energy and strengthen the soul.

Because there is an imbalance of yin and yang in the mother's body, witches are basically women.

Lie's daughter, Ying, is the next successor to Wu.

After Chu Zheng followed Lie back home, Ying went to Wu's residence and began to practice Qian.

Today, Wu is approaching his end of life and needs a successor.

…………

Lie often went out hunting, so Chu Zheng was alone at home most of the time.

All he has to do every day is practice and then understand the world in front of him.

Most of the Nine Realms and Thirteen Wildernesses are areas where wild beasts are active. In addition to the human race, there is another intelligent race in the Dongyuan Realm called the 'Tianling Tribe'.

The appearance of the Tianling tribe is similar to that of the human race, with scales covering their spines and a thin tail trailing behind them.

The Tianling people do not cultivate totems, but are born with magical powers and protect themselves through magical powers and secret methods.

The number of the Tianling clan is not large, less than one-third of the human clan, but the overall strength is not far apart. The relationship between the two clans is acceptable. There has been no war for many years, and there is often trade with each other.

However, only powerful tribes can carry out activities like fairs. Without sufficient strength, they are easily attacked by wild beasts.

"Zhengchu!"

A loud shout came from outside the door, waking Chu Zheng from his cultivation. He stood up and opened the door. Lie was already taking a shower in the courtyard. There were several hideous scratches on his back, which were still oozing blood.

The totem that was originally on the back has been moved to the shoulder without any damage.

This totem seems to have a spirit and knows how to avoid the risk of being destroyed.

After cleaning the wound, Lie walked into the room, took out a clay pot, grabbed a handful of gray powder from it, and applied it to the wound.

The spiritual energy of the medicinal powder hit his nose, and in an instant, the wound that was still bleeding had closed up and formed a shallow scab.

After doing this, Lie took out the molten bead, picked up another clay pot, poured out a bowl of spiritual spring water, and then extracted a ray of flesh and blood essence from it and poured it into it.

In an instant, the clear spiritual spring water turned into a bowl of animal blood.

He pushed the animal blood in front of Chu Zheng and spoke concisely:

"Drink."

Chu Zheng immediately picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

The majestic blood flowed instantly to the limbs and bones, activating the totem behind his back, bringing a gentle warmth, and his strength increased a lot.

This is the way the humans of Dongyuan Realm eat. This ray of flesh and blood essence may contain the essence of an entire desolate beast, which can promote the growth of flesh and blood and bones.

Lie often supplements nutrition for Chu Zheng. Now Chu Zheng is still some time away from the 100-day spiritual transformation period, but his strength has already exceeded 10,000 jins and is approaching the 20,000 jins mark.

Lie was extremely keen on the strength of blood, and the growth rate of Chu Zheng's power could not be hidden from his eyes.

Even if it is the same totem, the final appearance will be very different. Everyone's absorption efficiency of blood energy and the speed of energy growth are different, which will lead to differences in strength.

Chu Zheng has grown so fast and is stronger than many adults. This is his own talent and has nothing to do with totems.

After discovering Chu Zheng's talent, Lie placed high hopes on Chu Zheng, hoping that he could become another mountain in the Wangshan tribe.

After a while, the blood that surged on Chu Zheng's face faded away, and he gradually returned to normal.

Lie poured another bowl and was about to give Chu Zheng a drink when a sharp whistle suddenly came from the outside world.

He made a move, put down the bowl in his hand, and strode out.

Chu Zheng drank the beast's blood in one gulp and followed closely.

In the originally peaceful tribe, there was some commotion due to the sound of the whistle.

Two figures stood on the sky, with a pair of gray wings extending from their backs. They were naked and had a divine bird tattooed on their chests.

Chu Zheng's eyes flashed with light, and two messages soon came out.

[Wan Yun (Level 5): Bearing a beast spirit, a second-class totem, the totem possesses magical powers: animal transformation, divine speed, and clairvoyance. 】

[Wansong (Level 5): Bearing a beast spirit, second-class totem...]

Two fifth-level monks with the same surname and the same totem.

As the understanding of this world deepens, the information given by the spiritual eye becomes more specific.

Seeing that both of them had the surname Wan, Chu Zheng couldn't help but have a flash of understanding in his eyes.

He had listened to the chatter of people in the tribe and had some understanding of the current division of power in the Dongyuan Realm.

The human forces in the Dongyuan Realm are divided into three parts, all of which are loose alliances headed by a powerful tribe.

The Wangshan tribe belongs to one of them, the Wan Clan Alliance. As a member of the alliance, they need to turn in part of their hunting harvest on time. This is a condition for blessing.

There are many desolate beasts that are stronger than Lie. A random desolate beast above the sixth level can destroy the Wangshan tribe.

The wild beasts in this area have been cleared away by the Wan family, thus ensuring the tribe's basic living environment.

"strong."

The two people in the air retracted their wings and landed on the ground. They obviously knew Lie and said hello.

Lie nodded in agreement, took out the molten beads, handed them into Wan Yun's hands, and said in a conferring tone: "There are less prey nearby, and the harvest is not much. Can we take half first, and the remaining half be counted as next year's share?"

"Okay." Wan Yun responded without any embarrassment, turned over his hand and took out a molten bead, and began to extract the flesh and blood essence from it.

Less than half an hour later, the extraction was completed. The originally blood-colored molten beads became much darker in color, appearing a little gray.

The elderly shaman staggered over, followed by two strong men carrying huge backpacks, which contained many packaged packages, exuding spiritual energy and the fragrance of medicine.

Witches do not need to hunt, but they also have tasks and need to turn in some medicinal herbs and healing powder on time.

Wan Yun and Wan Song walked forward in a familiar manner without checking. They greeted the witch respectfully, then directly picked up their backpacks and prepared to leave.

Lie put away the molten beads, and after a slight hesitation, he called out to the two of them:

"You two stay."

He pulled Chu Zheng in front of him, took off the animal skin from his upper body, revealed the totem on his back, and said bluntly:

"I picked this child up while hunting. I don't know which tribe he belongs to. Have you two seen the totem on him?"

Lie originally wanted to keep Zhengchu, but after thinking about it, he still chose to confess. After all, when Zhengchu grows up in the future, he will still have the idea of ​​returning to his tribe, so it is better to make it clear now.

"this……"

Seeing the totem behind Chu Zheng, Wan Yun couldn't help but frown slightly after confirming:

"This person is not from our Wan clan alliance tribe. He belongs to other alliances. If you want to raise him, you can raise him. He may become a warrior in your tribe in the future."

He did not make too many suggestions, and obviously had no intention of helping Chu Zheng find the tribe, because this would waste unnecessary energy.

The Dongyuan Realm is too big and there are thousands of totems, so it is really difficult to find them, not to mention having to contact other alliances.

Lie saw that the two of them didn't want to take any more care, so he said no more, bowed slightly, and watched the two of them leave.

"Zhengchu, do you want to find your own tribe?"

Lie lowered his head and looked at Chu Zheng: "If you want to go home, I will help you find it."

"Need not."

Chu Zheng didn't hesitate at all and shook his head: "I'm right here."

Without Lie, this incarnation of his might not be able to survive in an area where wild beasts are rampant.

During this period, he also received a lot of care from Lie, and this favor should be returned.

What's more, the strength of the tribe has little impact on his own practice.

"good."

There was a smile in Lie's eyes, and he touched Chu Zheng's head. There were not many prey this year, but he still left half of it. This was the ration left for Chu Zheng alone.

Not far away, the old wizard looked at Chu Zheng, the frown between his brows getting deeper.

She noticed something was wrong, something ominous, but she couldn't see clearly for a while.

…………

…………

In the blink of an eye, Chu Zheng completed a hundred days of spiritual transformation. With the beast blood that Lie often fed him, his strength exceeded 30,000 kilograms.

[Name: Zhengchu (Chu Zheng)]

[Cultivation level: First level (early stage of spiritual transformation)]

[Kung Fu: Treasure Record of True Tribulation for All Eternal Times]

[Restorer: Level 6 (1578/8000)]

[Remaining number of repairs for the day: 60]

[Currently repairable: None]

Glancing at the panel, Chu Zheng's eyes flickered, and he immediately stood up and went out to find Lie:

"Uncle Lie, I want to have a coming-of-age ceremony."

Children in the tribe will have a coming-of-age ceremony when they are sixteen years old, and they will hunt wild beasts alone. As long as they can successfully bring back the prey, they will be considered adults.

Children who are not adults cannot leave the tribe alone.

Only adults can enter and exit freely and have the right to go out and hunt alone.

It would be easier to stay in the tribe all the time, but Chu Zheng was a little worried that it would cause trouble to the Wangshan tribe due to the influence of the tribulation energy.

Since the first catastrophe that nearly killed him, he never dared to ignore the existence of catastrophe.

Just like the last time with the Fairy Snake Star, he didn't dare to confirm whether the star was broken because of him.

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Lie couldn't help but feel a little absurd:

"You are not even five years old..."

Halfway through his words, he reacted and realized that Chu Zheng's current strength was much greater than that of an adult man. There was no problem in hunting ordinary wild beasts.

"Okay."

Lie thought about it and nodded in agreement. It was also a good thing for Chu Zheng to contact wild beasts in advance.

"Thank you, Uncle Lie."

Chu Zheng's eyes flashed slightly. The power to move freely was very important to him.

Only by being different from ordinary people can one stand out among ordinary people. This will be of great help to him in writing myths and legends in the future.

Moreover, in this world, there is no so-called dispute over the orthodoxy, only simple totems, and even the distribution of destiny is a little vague.

Chu Zheng wanted to make some attempts. After verification, he could even... spread the law to the world and pass on the general outline of the Great Zhoutian Qigong to the human race in this world, thus leaving a true Taoist trace and becoming a true Taoist!

Now, it has been verified on him that the totem can at least be practiced together with the Qi-refining method.

A true god who created a practice method should be remembered by the human race in this world, at least after he leaves this world, he can maintain the incense for a period of time.

…………

…………

Chu Zheng's coming-of-age ceremony was soon put on the agenda.

Three days later, under the gaze of a group of people in the tribe, Chu Zheng walked out of the gate of the tribe with a bone short spear and a short bow and quiver.

The surroundings of Wangshan Tribe were full of half-human-high weeds. After just two steps, Chu Zheng's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Lie, are you really not going to follow him? He's only four years old. What if..."

"Will he get lost?"

"There are still many wild beasts around here. Zhengchu was so small that he was eaten in one bite."

"How about I follow him? It's still in time."

Many people in the tribe were worried. A child under five years old left the tribe alone to hunt. There has never been such a precedent in those big tribes.

Especially in a small tribe like Wangshan Tribe, because of the small population, every child is extremely cared for. Many people can't bear it.

Lie shook his head slightly. He knew very well how powerful Chu Zheng was. As long as he didn't leave too far, the wild beasts active nearby would hardly pose a threat to him.

Perhaps, Chu Zheng would come back in less than half a day.

At this moment, he had already begun to look forward to what kind of prey Chu Zheng would bring back.
