Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel

"An evil ghost from a foreign land?"

Lie frowned slightly, there were indeed many things about Zhengchu that were different from ordinary people:

"What happened to the person you met before?"

Wu was lost in his memories, and after a while he spoke: "That was an extremely terrifying person, warlike, and murderous. He seemed to feel uncomfortable all day long if he didn't cause trouble."

"He has gone into the outer heavens to hunt the blood phoenixes of divine phoenixes. He has also gone into the sea to capture and slay real dragons. He has even killed many peak warriors in large tribes. He is fearless and has a moody temperament that cannot be deduced by common sense."

"Later, I heard that this person seemed to be dead. There was no way of knowing exactly where or how he died..."

Lie's heart tightened and he felt a little uneasy: "Wu, what do you want to tell me now?"

"I can't see through this kid Zhengchu... I hope the mountain tribe may not be able to bear the trouble he causes."

Wu's face was full of sadness, and she didn't know how to treat Zhengchu.

Now Zhengchu is kind to the Wangshan tribe, and the changes he has brought about are enough to change the fate of a tribe.

However, if Zhengchu is really like the person she knew back then, a creature from a foreign land, he may bring disaster to the Wangshan tribe in the future.

"I'll keep an eye on him."

Seeing that Wu was silent for a long time, Lie said in a deep voice: "In any case, I brought him back, and I will keep an eye on him from now on to prevent him from going astray."

"You go back first. I need to rest for a while. Just keep Ying by my side."

Wu said no more, and with Ying's support, he walked into the depths of the palace.

The large stone bed was covered with thick soft animal skins. Ying seemed a little absent-minded. After helping Wu onto the bed, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Wu, will you harm Zhengchu?"

"No." Wu shook his head, held Ying's little hand tightly, and asked in a deep voice:

"Ying, if one day, the survival of the tribe requires Zhengchu's death, what will you choose? The tribe's demise...or let Zhengchu die."

"This day will never happen." Ying said without any hesitation, with a serious expression: "If that day does come, it will be my incompetence."

"Wu, don't worry."

Ying stood up straight, her eyes burning like torches, and said word by word:

"I will become the most powerful shaman in the Wangshan tribe in the past. I will protect the tribe for you and continue the flame of Wangshan."

"Ying, I'm sorry."

Wu let out a long sigh, raised his hand and stroked Ying's hair, his eyes full of pity:

"Your mother was originally my chosen heir, but she loved your father so much that she couldn't control her heart and gave up her qualifications as a witch. This put this responsibility on your shoulders."

Ying's expression was slightly stagnant, she subconsciously took half a step back, lowered her head and murmured:

"Father...none of this has ever been told to me."

She didn't know what happened before, and she had never even seen her mother. She only knew that her mother died on the day she was born.

"Nian Ya gave up on being Wu's successor and stayed with your father. She felt very guilty and found me after she became pregnant."

A slightly bitter smile appeared at the corner of Wu's mouth: "As a Wu, I understand and even envy your mother. At that time, there was no suitable child in the tribe. My life was approaching, so I agreed to Ya's request."

"Your mother is the most talented person I have ever seen. As a candidate for a witch, her natural soul power is extremely powerful. Even before she was a minor, she was stronger than some witches."

"On the day you were born, she passed on all her power to you. Therefore, you were born with spiritual power that far exceeded many witches. But it was precisely because of this that she..."

At this point, Wu stopped talking and said no more.

"So that's it."

Ying lowered her head, with relief in her tone. For many years, she had always thought that she had killed her mother, and she often felt very guilty.

"Ying, don't blame your mother. Sometimes, people are like this. It's hard to control their thoughts and they will do a lot of things that they regret." Wu's expression was complicated, and his eyes were dim. There were many things she regretted. .

"No, Wu."

Ying raised her head with a smile on her face:

"My mother did what she wanted to do, and that's why I was born. I think... my mother will not regret being with my father. Her only regret may be that she was not able to succeed you and continue to protect the tribe.

"And I... will take her place and complete this matter."

At this moment, the haze in Ying's heart disappeared, and her eyes were firm. Her mother gave up the chance of survival and passed on all her strength to her, probably hoping that she could make up for this regret.

The next few days were quiet and boring.

Most of Chu Zheng's energy was focused on cultivation. Except for occasionally going to the smelting land to communicate with the weapon casters and pass on the formation patterns, he would stay in seclusion in his residence.

He replayed the scene of Wu Weilie changing his totem that day over and over in his mind, absorbing the nutrients from it.

Wu's skillful techniques left a deep impression on him, which deepened his understanding of Totem.

As long as he can understand it thoroughly, and when his cultivation is higher, he can try to create his own totem, and then replace the totem behind him.

After giving Lie a totem, Wu lay in bed for several months before he could barely get out of bed. He was running out of oil and gas. Chu Zheng had already expected this.

Her body has been exhausted, without any remaining strength. It has been completely squeezed out. Now she only relies on obsession to force herself to stay in the world.

The thousand-foot underground tunnel was covered with frost and extremely cold. With Chu Zheng's current cultivation level, he still needed to circulate Yuan Qi or let the beast fire flow in his body to prevent his body from freezing.

After the cold wave completely came, Wu's health became worse and worse. He rarely went out and only moved around in the hall. Lie pulled a few young men and dug out a fire pond under the main hall and placed a place for smelting ore. , making the surroundings of the main hall as warm as spring.

Even so, it is difficult to restore Wu's lost vitality through various means.

The weight of these four words is enough to explain everything.

Buzz——

Lie pushed open the stone door and stepped into the house, his expression a little solemn:

"Zhengchu, the witch has passed away. Come with me to see her off."

Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, nodded, stood up and followed Lie's footsteps.

Four warriors from the Wangshan tribe were carrying a jade coffin, which had been sealed. Ying stood aside with no sadness on her face.

Lie took one step ahead and walked towards the ground.

As it got closer to the ground, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and the ice layer became thicker and thicker. Eventually, the tunnel was completely blocked by ice.

The energy and blood in Lie's body began to surge, and the blazing high temperature steamed up, melting three feet of ice in an instant. The ice water rolled down along the corridor, formed a stream, and gurgled into the ground.

After a while, the group of people arrived on the ground, and everything they could see was ice and snow.

Chu Zheng stepped onto the earth for the first time in a long time. The howling of wind and snow echoed in his ears, and all he saw in his eyes was a dead and cold winter, without any life.

The original Wangshan tribe has been completely sealed by the heavy snow and hidden by thick ice and snow.

The extremely cold low temperature made Chu Zheng feel uncomfortable and accelerated the movement of the animal fire in his body, which made him feel much better.

This extreme low temperature was somewhat beyond Chu Zheng's expectation. Apart from the howling of the wind and snow, there was no noise between the sky and the earth. There was a dead silence in the hustle and bustle. It seemed that even time and space had come to a standstill and been completely frozen.

Lie led a group of people forward and entered a wasteland.

The surrounding ice and snow quickly melted away, revealing a tomb. Lie walked straight towards a tombstone without stopping.

The tombstone looked very clean, without any weeds around it, and it was obvious that people often took care of it.

"The Tomb of Chuming..."

Chu Zheng looked at the name on the tombstone and his eyebrows moved slightly. The name with a surname was enough to prove that this person had an extraordinary background.

"He was once the strongest warrior of the Wangshan Tribe and came from a large tribe. But for Luan, he stayed and joined the Wangshan Tribe and protected the tribe for more than four hundred years."

Lie said in a deep voice: "Wu's last words were that he hoped to be buried beside him."

As a shaman, Chu Ming had to wait for Luan for more than four hundred years, or even longer.

Regarding Chu Ming, Lie did not explain too much. He dug a new pit on one side of the tomb and buried the jade coffin.

Wu's funeral was very simple. Apart from Lie and Chu Zheng, there were only a few strongest warriors from the tribe, as well as Ying.

Ying was not affected by the cold at all, her face was rosy and her breath was steady.

Chu Zheng slightly glanced at it with some doubts, his heart couldn't help but move.

Under the spiritual eyes, Ying's soul strength has actually reached the level of the third level. This is a power that can only be achieved by an adult totem monk, and is comparable to the great monks in the Immortal Condensation Realm.

Ying is only ten years old now, and her future achievements are limitless.

Wu's death did not have much impact on the tribe, and everything remained as before.

Ying took over Wu's position and began to prepare wound medicine for the warriors in the tribe and draw totems for newborns.

Her current level is quite different from that of Luan, but except for the first-class totem, which cannot be carved for the time being, she has already mastered the methods of engraving other totems.

In the eyes of the Wangshan tribe, she is already a qualified witch and has gained the respect of many tribesmen.

Chu Zheng's status among the Wangshan tribe has also increased. Most of the tribesmen regard him as a rare genius.

The formation pattern he sent out greatly increased the power of the talisman soldiers and the loss when refining the talisman soldiers.

At the same time, Chu Zheng had begun to teach some crude breathing techniques to the warriors in the tribe.

This is a way to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is somewhat different from the real Qi refining method, but it has also had a great impact on these warriors of the Wangshan tribe, and their combat power has improved a lot.

In this regard, Lie did not interfere in any way and just watched silently. His attitude towards Chu Zheng was the same as before.

…………

…………

This cold wave lasted for a long time, more than half a year longer than before, and lasted for nearly four years.

If the blood food previously stored was not sufficient, many members of the Wangshan tribe would have suffered from hunger.

After the cold wave, the populations of many tribes will enter a period of growth, and the Wangshan tribe is no exception. In recent years, the number of newborns has increased year by year.

Correspondingly, Ying, as a witch, became extremely busy. She spent a lot of energy on helping the newborns carve totems and conditioning their bodies every day.

Living underground for a long time and lacking Yang Qi intake, Chu Zheng's cultivation level improved much more slowly. However, with many elixirs, he still condensed the Dao Fetus and entered the middle stage of the Dao Fetus Realm.

The growth of his physical body is even more astonishing, and his strength has more than doubled. Nowadays, it is difficult to find a third-level desolate beast that can withstand his palm.

This has entered adulthood in the totem, and the connection between the totem and him has become closer. The hidden magical power has already shown signs of manifestation.

As the cold wave fades, the temperature underground gradually begins to rise. The high temperature and high humidity caused by the melting of the ice make many newborns extremely painful, and epidemics occur from time to time.

However, during this period of time, we cannot rush to return to the surface, and we need to persist for a while.

Lie has already left the underground with the top strong men in the tribe. They have to thoroughly clean up the Wangshan tribe within a radius of 10,000 miles in the shortest time and eliminate the threat.

The cold wave has just passed, and there are hungry wild beasts all around. Many powerful wild beasts will start crazy fighting and hunting in order to make up for the losses in the cold wave.

This period of time is even more dangerous than before the cold wave.

It was not until a month after the cold wave faded that the Wangshan tribe began to migrate and return to live on the surface.

As soon as he returned to the surface, Chu Zheng could not wait to leave the tribe and enter the wilderness to release the frustration of living underground for a long time.

Along the way, he often saw the skeletons of wild beasts, the blood and essence in them had been sucked out, obviously squeezed dry by the molten beads.

The wild beasts within ten thousand miles around had been swept away, and Chu Zheng did not see any prey until he ran more than 20,000 miles away, then he saw the traces of wild beasts.

At the same time, he found traces of a tribe, and the traces were very new.

A claw mark spanning more than a hundred miles covered the entire tribe, leaving only a deep pit, and some traces of the remaining palaces could be vaguely seen at the bottom of the pit.

An extremely powerful wild beast passed by and destroyed the entire tribe with one blow, leaving no one alive.

Chu Zheng was slightly shocked. If this claw fell on the head of the Wangshan tribe, it would only have the same result.

This place is only 20,000 miles away from the Wangshan tribe, too close.

Chu Zheng calmed down, cleaned up the remaining traces in the tribe, got some talisman weapons and bone book fragments, and set off on the return journey.

…………

…………

When Chu Zheng returned to the tribe, Wangshan tribe was very lively.

After asking a few tribesmen, Chu Zheng learned the situation. A few days ago, people from the Wan tribe came and sent some wild beasts and elixirs.

This was a congratulation to celebrate that Wangshan tribe survived the cold wave.

At the same time, the Wan tribe also sent an invitation to the big celebration of hunting beasts.
