Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel

Childhood, youth, adulthood, prime age, peak age, and old age, these six stages, according to the division of the panel, childhood corresponds to level zero.

Youth corresponds to level one to level two, basically between the ages of fifteen to fifty.

Adulthood is level three to level four, and ordinary tribal warriors must be at least sixty to ninety years old to reach this level.

Most totem monks basically stay in the stage of youth to adulthood, and their strength fluctuates between level three and level four until they die of old age.

This is a threshold. A third-class totem can basically only grow to this level. For a second-class totem, only a few people can break through the shackles of the body and enter the prime age.

The prime age corresponds to level five to level six, and the basic age is about three hundred to eight hundred years old.

The peak is level seven to level eight, which is the pinnacle of the totem way. Among them, the strongest are enough to rival the great immortals, but they can only live for thousands of years.

As for old age, it is a unique decline period for totem cultivators. After entering this period, no matter how strong they were before, their blood will begin to decline gradually, and the power of the totem will also gradually decline.

This decline is irreversible and will last for a long time, and the cultivation will at least drop by one or two realms.

Chu Zheng also got some key information about the totem. The totem imprinted since birth can be replaced.

However, there are certain restrictions. The totem of the beast spirit can only be replaced by the beast spirit, and cannot be replaced by the sky pattern.

There are differences in the operation mode between the two. If they are replaced directly, the body will not be able to bear the load and eventually explode and die.

Carving a totem requires a great deal of mental effort, and it is basically completed by the witch.

Especially carving a second-class or even first-class totem, the loss of the witch's soul is extremely terrifying, and this is not an easy task.

"Have you finished reading it?"

At some point, the witch had already walked to Chu Zheng's side.

"I've finished reading it, thank you witch." Chu Zheng stood up and grinned.

"No need to thank me, I should thank you."

The witch sighed softly: "I'm sorry, Zhengchu, I thought you were ominous before, and might bring bad luck to the tribe, but now I might be wrong."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, carrying an ominous aura... Could it be that the witch can sense the existence of calamity?

Before he thought about it, the witch spoke again:

"Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No." Chu Zheng shook his head and turned to walk out of the hall.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw Ying squatting on the side sifting medicinal materials.

"Zhengchu!"

Seeing Chu Zheng coming out, Ying tilted her head and smiled, picked up a small package at hand, got up and ran over, and stuffed it into Chu Zheng's arms:

"The medicine I made is good for your body, but you can't take too much, you can only take one pill a day."

Chu Zheng opened the package, and a little spiritual light surged in his eyes.

[Strengthening tendon pill (first level): It is made by mixing a small amount of spiritual medicine with animal bone powder. It can strengthen bones and tendons when taken. 】

"Thank you, Ying."

Looking at Ying in front of him, Chu Zheng's eyes were a little complicated. If you want to become a witch, the road you have to take is quite difficult. You have to give up love and affection for your whole life, and you can't be moved. You have to give up many things.

And under her long life, sooner or later she will send her elders and relatives away one by one. After that, there will be endless loneliness and coldness, and she can only exist as the patron saint of the tribe.

Such a life is too tragic to describe. The original Luan walked through step by step.

This is not only what happened to Ying. There are countless tribes in the entire Dongyuan world who are experiencing the same tragedy.

"No need to thank me, I am your sister. No matter now or in the future, I will protect you."

Ying waved her hand, staggered back to the original place, and continued to sift medicine.

Chu Zheng clenched the bag in his hand and walked slowly towards home.

There is no god in this world, so someone needs to replace the position of god. He wants this position now.

…………

………

When Chu Zheng returned home, Lie was not there. Besides Lie, many young and strong people in the tribe were not there.

During this period, Lie went out more frequently, eager to store blood and food.

The environment in Dongyuan Realm is quite harsh. Although it is hot all year round, there will be a huge cold wave lasting for three years every ten years.

Calculating the time, it has been nearly two years. It is necessary to store blood, flesh and essence in advance to survive the winter, otherwise many newborns will not survive this cold wave.

Moreover, before the cold wave comes, many powerful wild beasts will leave their nests to look for food. This is the most dangerous period in the wilderness.

This means that the time for hunting safely is getting shorter and shorter, and Lie's number of times away from home is naturally increasing.

In the entire Wangshan tribe, except for him, no one has stepped into the fifth level, so the burden on his shoulders is naturally heavy.

Chu Zheng emptied his mind, rested for a while, circulated the Great Circulation, and thought about the next plan.

Now that he has passed the coming-of-age ceremony, he can enter and leave the tribe freely, and searching for relics everywhere is the best choice.

If he really stayed in the tribe for a long time, he might really bring trouble to the Wangshan tribe as the witch said.

Now Chu Zheng was faced with the question of which step the Wangshan tribe should take first.

After weighing it over for a long time, Chu Zheng finally set his sights on smelting ores and casting weapons.

Weapons have always been in short supply in the tribe. After the blood and flesh essence were drained away by the molten beads, the bones of some wild beasts could not be used to make weapons, and the raw materials were always in short supply.

If there are enough bows and arrows for consumption, the loss of hunting will be greatly reduced.

The cold wave is coming, and all the warriors of the tribe will stay in the tribe at that time. It is a good opportunity to accumulate resources.

When he finds a spiritual iron mine, he can produce low-level magic tools in batches. With this period of time, hunting will not be delayed.

The strong muscle pills given by Ying are very effective, but Chu Zheng obviously did not follow the doctor's advice. In just two days, nearly fifty strong muscle pills were taken. The slight drug poison was dissipated by the panel in an instant.

Under the nourishment of a large number of strong muscle pills, Chu Zheng's strength soared, almost a change every day. When the drug power was exhausted, Chu Zheng had a huge strength of more than 80,000 kilograms, not to mention Yuanqi.

After two days of stable practice, when Chu Zheng was about to leave the tribe, Lie came back, with a strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of drug powder.

Obviously, he encountered a lot of dangers during this hunting trip.

Outside the door, there were several suppressed sobs in the distance. Many warriors must have failed to come back alive during this hunt.

"Uncle Lie, how are you injured?"

Chu Zheng stood up, his eyes flashing with a little light. After scanning Lie's body, his expression changed slightly.

According to the information given by the panel, Lie suffered a serious injury, even hurting his vitals and shortening his lifespan, but fortunately he can still be repaired.

"It's not a big deal. I encountered an ice-scaled dragon in its prime, which is stronger than me. I was ambushed by this beast."

Lie shook his head and took off his outer robe. There were dozens of scars on his chest, each of which was deep enough to see the bone.

He didn't care about the injuries on his body, and his eyes were full of solemnity:

"The cold wave is coming."

The ice-scaled dragon usually only moves during the cold wave. Now it appears early, which is an extremely dangerous signal.

"So soon?"

Chu Zheng rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little tricky. He thought there would be at least two years left, but now it seems that he was a little optimistic.

He needed to hurry up and find the right kind of fire and the spiritual iron vein.

"Uncle Lie, I'm going out for a while."

Chu Zheng immediately stood up and walked out the door. He couldn't waste any more time. With the coming of the cold wave, it would be more difficult to find the veins, and it would be easy to encounter some hungry top predators.

Seeing this, Lie did not stop him, but only reminded him: "Take the talisman soldiers with you. If you can't defeat them, don't show off your strength."

With Chu Zheng's strength and the talisman soldiers in hand, there was not much threat to Chu Zheng within this radius of ten thousand miles.

"Remember."

Chu Zheng didn't even turn his head back and went straight out of the tribe.

With the induction of the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, searching for mineral veins was not difficult at all for Chu Zheng.

In the place where the Qi of the metal element was rich, there must be divine iron below, and what was even more difficult was the right kind of fire.

Diving into the center of the earth and taking the true flame of the earth was one way, but it was a bit difficult for Chu Zheng now.

If there was no kind of fire, even if there was a spiritual mine, it would be useless.

…………

…………

It was noon, and the temperature was still hot, but compared to the past, it was less oppressive.

After a careful search, Chu Zheng found a mineral vein less than 300 miles away from the tribe.

He touched the raw ore less than 300 feet underground.

[Silver Light Mine (Level 1): Low-level spiritual ore that can be refined into silver light iron. ]

The scale of the entire mineral vein is not large, spanning less than ten miles, and the distance it extends downward is also limited.

After two days of hard work, Chu Zheng found more than ten mineral veins within a thousand miles of the tribe, one of which was a second-level spiritual mine with abundant reserves.

The only difficulty is still the fire.

Spiritual fire is hard to find, and spiritual fire born and raised by nature is still difficult to control with his current cultivation.

The only plan now is to take advantage of the wild beasts. Some wild beasts have beast fire in their bodies, which may be barely usable.

Chu Zheng moved forward slowly in midair, with his Yuan Qi surging slightly. He felt the wind coming from all directions and distinguished the changes of the five elements.

Soon, he caught a trace of active fire Yuan Qi from the air around him and immediately followed it.

After chasing for more than a hundred miles, a wild beast with thick armor and the shape of a rhinoceros appeared in Chu Zheng's sight.

[Earth Flame Dragon (Second Order): A species with a trace of dragon blood, a carnivorous predator with fire poison in its body. ]

The body of the Earth Flame Dragon was extremely huge, more than twice as large as the shadow lion that Chu Zheng had hunted before. It was almost a small mountain and exuded a blazing high temperature.

Wherever it passed, it left a trail of huge black footprints, as if burned by flames.

The Earth Flame Dragon moved very slowly. Chu Zheng estimated its route, and then used the same trick again, taking some spiritual ore as the cornerstone and setting up a large formation again.

One day later, Chu Zheng lured the heavily armored Earth Flame Dragon into the formation.

However, the Earth Flame Dragon's defense was beyond Chu Zheng's expectations, and due to his lack of preparation, the first round of sword light did not even seriously injure it.

After a few breaths of hesitation, when the second round of sword light was shot out, Chu Zheng directly picked up the dragon bone spear and pierced through its head with one blow.

After the formation was dissipated, while the corpse was still warm, Chu Zheng reached out and gently grabbed it, and took out a ball of red spiritual fire from it.

[Earth Flame (Second Level): The spiritual fire conceived in the beast's body can be swallowed to assist in cultivation, contain the power of avoiding fire, and can slightly enhance the cultivation speed of fire-attributed creatures. ]

The second-level spiritual fire is enough to smelt the second-level spiritual ore, which is enough for the Wangshan tribe, which is just starting out.

Chu Zheng swallowed the spiritual fire into his stomach, and with the help of the repair panel, he forced it to refine it, and then hunted a few wild beasts, and then used the animal skin as a pad, dragged tens of thousands of pounds of spiritual ore, and embarked on the return journey.

When he returned to the tribe, the atmosphere was a little solemn.

The last time he went out hunting, the tribe lost nearly ten warriors, and Lie was seriously injured. This was a heavy blow to this small tribe.

"Zhengchu, why did you drag so many stones back?"

Soon someone noticed Chu Zheng's actions and was full of doubts.

Chu Zheng did not answer, and it was faster to explain with actions. He took a smaller piece of first-level spiritual ore directly, and a ball of spiritual fire surged out of his palm.

After a while, the spiritual ore turned into liquid and gradually condensed into an arrow.

The arrow took shape, Chu Zheng dispersed the spiritual fire, a little spiritual light flowed from his fingertips, and he carved the simplest array pattern on the arrow.

The array pattern appeared in the eyes of the human race in Dongyuan Realm for the first time.

There was an uproar all around:

"This is... a talisman weapon?!"

"Why does it seem to be sharper than animal bones?"

"Stones can be made into talisman weapons?! Isn't that going to make a fortune?"

Lie hurried over and saw this scene, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Zhengchu, what is this?"

He had never seen the pattern on the arrow, but it was somewhat similar to the heavenly pattern on the talisman weapon.

Chu Zheng stood up and pointed to the spiritual ore behind him:

"Ore, smelting, can be made into weapons, which is much more convenient than animal bones."

For the people in Wangshan Tribe, Chu Zheng's actions at this moment were undoubtedly subversive, and everyone's face was full of doubt.

After a while, Lie suddenly waved to the crowd: "Shan, Tuo, you two come and try."

Two figures walked out of the crowd, both of them were middle-aged men in animal skins. In Chu Zheng's eyes, they also had abundant fire energy flowing in their bodies.

The two walked to the spiritual ore pile, picked a piece at random, and then spit out a ball of spiritual fire from their mouths and began to smelt the ore.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng's eyes flashed with a flash of realization. He forgot that these people had totems and had some special magical powers. It was not surprising that some people could control fire.

Under the smelting of the spiritual fire, the impurities of the ore quickly faded and turned into a pool of liquid, and then under the control and squeezing of the spiritual fire, it turned into the shape of a battle axe.

A trace of joy flashed in the eyes of both of them, raised their hands to squeeze out a drop of blood, and drew a sky pattern on the axe blade.

They had experience in refining talisman soldiers, so it was not difficult to do this step.

Seeing the constant exclamations of the tribesmen around, the witch with a cane in the distance stopped for a long time and turned to leave.

She silently returned to the bluestone hall, took out a clean wild beast skull, and carved some words with force, recording what happened today.

This will change the entire tribe, and even the entire Dongyuan human race.
