The Ancient Vast Realm

After Feng Xuan placed the copperhead fish corpse, he carefully looked at the huge space behind the waterfall.

From what we can see so far, there is no sign of human habitation here, and it seems that it has never been discovered.

Feng Xuan was not surprised by this, after all, the entire Great Wilderness is too big, and there are only a few human beings.

Then Feng Xuan returned to the pond and moved the dead mountain boar back, and found a corner to place it at random.

If the mountain boar is not dealt with, it will easily attract the attention of some wild beasts that are out foraging. Feng Xuan does not want to attract some wild beasts that cannot be defeated.

The mountain boar itself has no value. Feng Xuan has eaten it before. The meat is tough and hard, and it is not worth it for him to carry it back to the tribe.

The other party's black and hard fur was also ruined by him and the copperhead fish. Feng Xuan plans to leave it in the cave first and deal with it tomorrow. With the isolation of this water curtain cave, the smell of the corpse can hardly spread.

Feng Xuan did not stay in the cave for long. After a rest, he went into the water to check the main purpose of this trip.

Water Willow and Green Snailworm

Feng Xuan dived into the water and reached the bottom. Feng Xuan estimated that the deepest part of the pool was only about 70 to 80 feet from the water surface. In addition to some long water plants, there were some small fish and shrimps swimming around.

At the bottom of the pool, there were some shellfish of different sizes, lying quietly at the bottom of the water. As for the larger fish, Feng Xuan had not seen any, and they were probably already in the stomach of the copperhead fish.

Feng Xuan slowly explored the bottom of the water through the sunlight shining on the water. After breaking through the Body Forging Realm, he could easily hold his breath in the water for seven or eight minutes.

Feng Xuan searched for a while, and suddenly found something and swam in one direction.

Water Willow!

Feng Xuan stopped happily, floating in front of a bunch of water plants floating with the waves.

The stems of this water plant are like reed branches, and the leaves are slender like willow leaves, so it is called water willow.

Feng Xuan looked at the aquatic willows and soon found a finger-long black-green insect in a leaf.

This insect is flat, but has a big butt. Its head is round, with two black eyes and two big sharp teeth, which are mainly used to gnaw the roots of aquatic willows.

This insect only eats the roots of various plants, especially the roots of aquatic willows, which can make them mature faster.

The one in front of Feng Xuan is a green snail larva. Even if it is an adult, it will only grow a hard shell and its shape will not change much.

Once the green snail worm matures, it no longer has that amazing medicinal property. However, it tastes good when fried and eaten with wine. However, the tribesmen usually let it reproduce, and only capture too many male insects to avoid destroying the aquatic willows and the habitat.

Feng Xuan had secretly eaten a few of them from his father's snacks when he was a child. He fried them with meat oil until they were golden and crispy, sprinkled some salt and spices on them, peeled off the hard shell on the surface, and slowly tasted the snow-white worm meat inside. The taste was really incomparable to ordinary worms.

Feng Xuan swallowed his throat when he thought of this, shook his head quickly, spit out a string of bubbles, and put his attention back to the present.

The green snail larvae in front of him had grown quite big, and it seemed that they were about to cocoon. Feng Xuan checked other places one by one to see the situation of other green snail worms.

Feng Xuan explored the bottom of the water and found a large number of green snail larvae. There were also some mature green snail worms lying on the water willows to rest, and some were digging mud and sand at the bottom of the water, digging the roots of the water willows to eat.

Seeing this, Feng Xuan was both happy and depressed. Looking at this situation, Feng Xuan estimated that it would take another month for the green snail worm to completely cocoon, and the cocooning period would last for another month before it would break out of the shell. During this cocooning process, the green snail worm would condense and digest the medicinal properties of the aquatic willow in its body.

He only needs to wait for a month to collect these green snail worm pupae for cultivation. With the number of green snail worms in this pond, it is not only enough for him to take, but he may also be able to sell some to the tribe.

Since he made the blood-patterned knife, he has been penniless, and he needs other resources to assist in cultivation during the body-building period.

Not to mention anything else, even the flesh and blood of the spiritual realm is a large amount of resources. Although the tribe will provide enough for cultivation, who would complain about too much of this kind of thing?

Besides, the tribe is also tight now, and the older warriors save their own cultivation resources to give to the younger generation of the tribe.

Besides, the wild human race does not advocate free support for the next generation. Apart from the necessary cultivation resources, everything depends on one's own competition. It is said that after the great clans' Tianjiao reach a certain level of cultivation, they will leave the tribe and go to the wilderness to compete for all the resources that can be seized. Opportunities need to be fought for by oneself, even the legendary human race's holy body, war body, and divine body are no exception.

A comfortable cultivation environment will most likely only breed useless people, who can only be called geniuses with good talents, not real Tianjiao.

Don't think that Uncle Daniu, Uncle Ling, and Wu Lao are good to me. If I break through to the Boiling Blood Stage, they will be the first to let me go, because the tribe is simply unable to bear the resources needed for subsequent cultivation, and can only find a way by myself.

The next breakthrough of the Boiling Blood Stage is the Yunzang Realm, and the resources required for cultivation in this realm are no longer affordable for the current tribe. It is better to evenly tilt the resources to the next generation of children.

So now he needs to start accumulating the resources for his future cultivation.

Suddenly, Feng Xuan's hand, which was looking through the roots of the aquatic willow, paused. He groped for a hard object in the mud and sand, and from the touch it did not feel like stone.

Out of curiosity, Feng Xuan threw away the mud at the bottom of the pond, and then a greenish-green lump slightly larger than a palm was pulled out of the mud at the bottom by Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan looked at this bronze object with some doubts. This thing had been in the mud and sand at the bottom of the water for who knows how many years. The surface was full of traces of rust, and it didn't even emit a trace of reflection under the poor light. .

But how could such a thing exist in this small pool?

Normally not even my own clan members would come to such a remote place, let alone who would be left in this pool.

"Could it be that it was washed down by the Qishui River above the waterfall?" Feng Xuan thought secretly in his heart.

Immediately, he didn't care to continue checking the aquatic willows, and swam back to the water surface with the bronze object in one hand. When he returned to the water curtain cave, Feng Xuan sat by the pool, looking at his hands slightly with the light shining through the waterfall. Bronze objects inside.

Feng Xuan washed away the mud and sand on the surface of the artifact, and then he could see clearly that the appearance of the bronze artifact resembled an ancient scroll, and it was suspected to be made of bronze, so let's call it an ancient bronze scroll.

From the surface, it looks like a bronze scroll that is blue with a hint of green in it. The middle is slightly curved downwards, the two ends are upturned, and the surface is covered with dense rust-like traces.

Some patterns can still be discerned at the top of the ancient scroll, and a picture can be barely seen in the middle part, which seems to be a group of people kneeling together to worship something. However, because the lower half of the bronze scroll is too mottled, it cannot be seen at all. Unable to identify.

Wiping it with his hands, Feng Xuan unexpectedly discovered that the patina could not be removed by himself, as if it was part of the bronze roll itself, rather than a product of rust.

There are some relatively clear patterns on both sides of the bronze scroll. Some of them look like the shapes of some plants and herbs, but Feng Xuan cannot identify the specific ones. There are also some unclear animal patterns. As for Feng Xuan who can identify them, he looks at them. I found that most of them were unfamiliar to me, except for one with a bird-shaped animal pattern. It seemed to have three legs on its abdomen, giving Feng Xuan a sense of familiarity.

"Could it be the legendary three-legged Golden Crow?"

Feng Xuan suddenly thought with some surprise, that was the legendary top existence between heaven and earth, the gods and demons who symbolized the great sun.

As far as Feng Xuan knows, ordinary small tribes only dare to engrave ordinary animal and fish patterns, as well as human shaman patterns. However, if it involves the legendary gods and monster patterns, ordinary tribes will not carve them. They will feel that they are The luck of the tribe cannot suppress these animal patterns, and I am afraid that they will be counterattacked by these animal patterns.

Only some large tribes can use animal patterns such as the blue dragon, the immortal phoenix, and the three-legged golden crow.

Generally, medium-sized tribes only use animal patterns such as dragon, Kui Niu, Taotie, and Pixiu.

The animal patterns carved on the witchcraft are not purely for aesthetic reasons, but to communicate certain regular energy in the world through the animal patterns.

For example, the most important thing on the totem pole of my Black Eagle tribe is the Black Eagle animal pattern, which can make the Black Eagle totem more complete and more suitable for the Black Eagle spirit, thereby greatly increasing its power, longer service life, and better resilience. Stronger.

And if the totem spirit of the Black Eagle Totem Pole is a dragon beast, it will not be able to trigger various powers, and the power of the totem pole will be greatly weakened.

Unless there is a strong witchcraft person who re-engraves the animal pattern on the totem pole and rewrites the witch pattern.

And this is just a certain way of using animal patterns.

Could the bronze scroll in my hand be an artifact left behind by a large tribal clan? Feng Xuan thought so.

He held it in his hand and played with it for a while, turning it over and over to check. Feng Xuan still couldn't see any mystery. Instead, he carefully tried it with the blood pattern knife and found that he couldn't do anything about the bronze scroll. Even Feng Xuan gradually increased his strength to chop it. No trace could be left behind even after cutting, so Feng Xuan was happy that he had found a treasure.

Although the other uses are unclear, it can be used as a strong shield at critical moments. Although it is a bit small, it is made of bronze!

Bronze is extremely rare. According to Wu Zeng's explanation of sacrifices, bronze is generally divided into two types. One is the immortal bronze naturally born between heaven and earth.

It is said that this kind of bronze is extremely rare, and it is an immortal thing that can be used to create true divine weapons and imperial weapons. It is not something that ordinary tribes can get involved with. It is something that the legendary gods will break their heads and fight for.

There is also bronze that is smelted from copper ore and other types of ores, but this smelting is also very troublesome and requires extremely high smelting skills to refine good bronze.

This kind of bronze artifacts are sought after by various tribes, and even many foreign tribes are very fond of bronze as a material.

Bronze ware is a good thing that is only used by medium-sized tribes to cast witchcraft and sacrificial utensils. For example, the Xuanying tribe does not seem to have bronze ware.

The surface of this bronze scroll is full of rust. It is naturally the latter. How can you pick up immortal bronze casually? The birth of every piece of divine material or divine weapon in the wilderness is not only the divine light and the manifestation of laws, but also the birth of immortal bronze. With countless lives being ruined and blood flowing, the mountains and rivers of thousands of miles will be shattered by strong men from all walks of life. Even powerful men from all races will come to fight for it.

And I have never heard of rumors that the immortal bronze will rust. Moreover, it is full of various patterns. That prodigal thing may turn the immortal bronze into a useless book shape.

And if this divine weapon had the power of the legendary divine weapon, even if no one was driving it, he would be instantly shaken to pieces when he got close, Feng Xuan thought silently.

After playing with the bronze scroll for a while, Feng Xuan put it into his animal skin pocket and planned to deal with it later. It would be best to see if he could find a tribe to sell it in exchange for a wave of resources. This might be his most precious property at present. His blood-patterned knife might not be as valuable as it.

Feng Xuan put the bronze scroll behind his mind and moved the copperhead fish next to him to start processing.

The whole body of the copperhead fish is a treasure. Its fish skin is definitely a good thing for making light leather armor after tanning, and it also has scales.

After Feng Xuan's test, it is quite difficult to cut the fish skin with an ordinary blade. It becomes easy after using the blood-patterned knife. But you have to know that the blade of the blood-patterned knife is made of the sharpest big knife arm of the blood-patterned mantis.

The blood-marked mantis can be regarded as the top-level insect beast among the wild beasts in the Kailing Realm. Ordinary humans in the Boiling Blood Realm cannot compete with it. Among the wild beasts of the same level, this guy is also very fierce. Wild beasts that are not at the peak of the Kailing Realm can only be its food. The Black Eagle Tribe regards it as a threat and directly sends warriors in the Yunzang Realm to suppress it.

Feng Xuan peeled off the whole fish skin and hung it in the cave. This is a good thing. It can also be sold for a lot of iron coins when returning to the tribe.

The teeth of the copperhead fish are not of much value. Feng Xuan threw it directly by the pond. With its remaining breath, it can deter ordinary wild beasts and greatly reduce some intrusions. However, the fish head of this copperhead fish is a good thing.

According to the tribe's martial arts hall, there is a piece of fish head glue on its head, which is the essence of the copperhead fish. It can be regarded as a spiritual material. Whether it is used for refining medicine or making soup, it is a tonic. Feng Xuan plans to keep it and take it back to the tribe to check the refining method.

Sure enough, after cutting the fish head, Feng Xuan felt something with a different texture under the skull. He took it out and saw that it was a piece of snow-white gelatinous substance the size of an adult's palm. It was soft but extremely tough. Feng Xuan looked at it for a moment and put it aside.

Feng Xuan directly cut the last piece of fish meat into several large pieces, smeared some coarse salt he brought with him, and put it together with the fish head gelatin, and hung it on the stalagmite with a straw rope he brought with him to let it air dry and preserve.

After doing all this, Feng Xuan casually ate some dry food he brought with him, and cut a small piece of copperhead fish meat for dinner.

There is nothing to say about the dry food. The pancakes baked with green flour cakes are thick pancakes as big as fists. Two are enough for a meal, which can be said to be a full portion.

Feng Xuan cut the fish meat into finger-wide fish slices. The texture of the copperhead fish meat is clear, and the bright red meat with slightly white texture is like a circle of tree rings. The crystal clear fish slices look very oily. Feng Xuan put it into his mouth and chewed it.

After tasting it, Feng Xuan was slightly surprised. He felt that it was very delicious but almost without any fishy smell. It had a delicate and tender texture and was slightly chewy.

It was completely different from the iron-tailed crocodile meat he had eaten before. It was much better than eating dry food. The essence energy contained in it was not comparable to ordinary bread.

Feng Xuan ate several pieces of copperhead fish meat in a row with a big appetite, and then stopped with satisfaction.

After eating dry food and fish, Feng Xuan felt that the hunger in his stomach had subsided and his whole body felt warm.

The only thing that Feng Xuan was not satisfied with was that there was nothing that could burn in this cave.

Compared with raw meat, Feng Xuan preferred cooked meat, and it was not a big problem to light a little firewood in this cave. The water flow would disperse a lot of smoke.

"It seems that I have to find a way to get some wood in when I go out tomorrow."

Feng Xuan thought so. He planned to use this water curtain cave as a long-term place to stay outside the tribe.

After doing all this, Feng Xuan looked outside the Water Curtain Cave. Through the water layer, he could feel that the sun was about to set. Feng Xuan didn't care and just sat on a stone to meditate.

Feng Xuan could feel that his soul cultivation had reached a bottleneck. After reaching the bottleneck, he would be at the threshold of witchcraft. If he could feel the witch power and stimulate the witch power to cross this threshold, he would be a real witch cultivator.

A witch cultivator, even if he has no combat power, can be a guest of honor even in a medium-sized tribe. This is the dignity of the witch cultivator. Only people with talent can practice this path. Ordinary people without talent can only be a martial artist throughout their lives.

Feng Xuan practiced meditation, which is the basic meditation method uniformly distributed by the human holy land, the mountain and sea meditation method.

This is the basic meditation method sorted out by the human race that is most suitable for human witch cultivators to practice. All people with witch cultivation talent can practice witchcraft through this method.

From here, we can see the importance that the human race attaches to witch cultivation. This method stimulates oneself by perceiving the power of mountains and seas. It is the simplest and most understandable meditation method. Through the power of mountains and seas, one can strengthen oneself and strengthen the soul, so as to be in tune with the heaven and earth, and absorb the free soul power to strengthen the soul.

The witch soul power is the manifestation of the soul power accumulated to a certain extent. If it can be stimulated, one can become a witch. If the witch power cannot be stimulated, even if the soul is stronger, one cannot become a witch cultivator by mastering the witch soul power.

The witch soul power is a means of utilizing soul power. This is another cultivation system that is different from the blood power of martial arts and the elemental power of heaven and earth. As age increases, it becomes more and more impossible to stimulate the witch soul power, and the difficulty is more than doubled.
