Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel.

Chapter 218: Celestial Spirit Tribe

Every time he went hunting, Lie would leave the tribe far away, and it was not realistic to carry a large amount of animal bones back and forth.

Therefore, most of the time, he could only bring back the skeletons of some powerful wild beasts, and occasionally he could refine a talisman weapon.

This is not a situation unique to the Wangshan tribe, it is the same in almost all tribes, so the number of talisman soldiers is not large.

Especially consumables such as bows and arrows are extremely precious.

Now, Chu Zheng brought back the spiritual mine, and Lie instantly smelled the huge benefits that could not be ignored.

He did not waste any time and immediately gathered a group of young and strong people in the tribe. He followed Chu Zheng and left the tribe again to start digging for spiritual mines.

Even though the cold wave was approaching, he did not plan to go hunting again. As long as he had enough talisman soldiers, he could exchange blood food, elixirs, and other types of resources with other tribes.

Compared to fighting wild beasts, mining is undoubtedly much safer and the rewards are much higher.

As the mineral veins were dug out one after another, a large amount of raw ore was transported back to the tribe and handed over to a group of totem monks who mastered the spiritual fire, who refined it into talisman weapons.

Although the quality of the spiritual ore is not high and the talisman weapons refined from it are of limited strength, it is enough for some ordinary cultivators.

In just a few months, most of the mineral veins within a radius of ten thousand miles had been dug out, and the raw ore was piled up like a mountain. Thousands of talisman weapons were stacked in one place, overflowing with spiritual light.

"Uncle Lie, take the medicine."

Chu Zheng held a bowl of medicine in both hands and placed it in front of Lie.

During these few months, in between delivering medicine every day, he had already repaired the injuries in Lie's body silently through the panel.

Lie took the medicine bowl, raised his head and drank it all, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Wu's medical skills have improved again."

He was unaware of what Chu Zheng had done and just thought it was a witch's trick.

He was very clear about his own body. Without the daily medicine, he would not be able to recover at all, and would even enter old age prematurely and begin to fail.

This is like saving a life.

Lie went out for a walk and inspected the entire tribe. Seeing that the reserve of talisman soldiers was sufficient, Lie took Chu Zheng alone, boarded the Dark Eagle, and left the Wangshan tribe with many talisman soldiers, heading straight to the southwest.

"Uncle Lie, where are we going?"

Chu Zheng was a little confused.

"market."

Lie replied casually, with a little light in his eyes:

"There, you can see treasures that you can't even see near the tribe, and even the corpses of wild beasts in the ocean."

The Wangshan tribe is surrounded by wasteland and is extremely far away from the ocean. Many cultivators have never seen the sea from birth to death.

…………

Before the cold wave comes, many tribal groups will hold a grand gathering to share what they have with each other to ensure their own survival.

After all, the environment they are in is different. In some areas, wild beasts are rampant and there is no shortage of blood and food, but there is a shortage of healing medicines. The smaller the tribe, the more it lacks such resources.

Lie took Chu Zheng and traveled for half a month before entering a desert.

A complex of buildings covering an area of ​​thousands of miles came into Chu Zheng's sight.

Most of these buildings are large halls built with bluestone, and at this moment they are crowded with people.

From time to time, various human figures and tamed wild beasts and ferocious birds would take off and land.

There was a hint of curiosity in Chu Zheng's eyes. Lie told him a lot of information about the market along the way.

This market has a very long history. It has existed tens of thousands of years ago.

This place only exists for trading, and no cultivators will live and reproduce here. When a cold wave comes, this place will be covered with ice and snow, leaving no trace of life, in order to avoid attracting powerful wild beasts.

In the case of poor communication means, this kind of market, once established, will not be easily moved.

Because once the location changes, the survival chances of the small tribe will be reduced, and it may even suffer a catastrophic disaster.

Every time the market opens, it will last for a long time, until the first snow of the cold wave falls, and the crowds gathered here will gradually disperse.

All those who can participate in the fair are the strongest among the various tribes. Chu Zheng glanced casually and found that few of the cultivators he saw were below the third level in strength. The occasional ones who appeared were just children under ten years old.

After settling the Dark Eagle outside the city, Lie took Chu Zheng for a stroll on the bustling streets, found an empty space, spread out animal skins, and unfolded the newly made talisman weapons. His movements were much more restrained, and it was obvious that he had many concerns.

Lie had just sat down, and before he could speak, some totem monks gathered around him.

"So many talisman soldiers? Could it be that the tribe has been attacked by wild beasts?"

Upon seeing the thousands of talisman soldiers, many cultivators' first reaction was that the tribe had encountered wild beasts and suffered a large number of population losses, which resulted in so many talisman soldiers being available.

Chu Zheng squatted silently aside, the light in his eyes never slackened at all and kept wandering around.

Suddenly, a figure walked up to Lie. This person was not wearing animal skins, but brocade clothes, which looked a little thin.

Only monks from some large tribes would pursue appearance. Judging from his clothes alone, this person's identity is unusual.

[Bai Zhong (Level 5): A cultivator of the Celestial Spirit Clan, with innate magical powers: immobilization, hiding form, and water control.]

The Celestial Spirits...

Looking at the information given by the spiritual eyes, Chu Zheng couldn't help but be a little surprised. He looked at it a few more times. This was the first time he had seen a member of the Tianling tribe.

Baizhong looked to be less than thirty years old, and it was hard to tell whether she was a man or a woman. Her pupils glowed green and silver like stars.

The appearance of the Tianling people is more refined than that of humans, and is similar to that of humans. As for the scales covering the spine and the thin tail, Chu Zheng could not see any of them and could not distinguish them with the naked eye.

There is still demonic energy detectable on the wild beasts, but the gap between the Tianling tribe and humans is minimal.

"What do you want to exchange these talisman soldiers for?"

Bai Zhong spoke slowly, his voice was hoarse and a little rough.

"Blood food, medicinal herbs..."

After saying the two things, Lie glanced at Chu Zheng beside him, hesitated for a while, and said slowly:

"If there is a magical bone, it would be even better."

Magical bone?

Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment. Lie had never mentioned this thing to him before, and it was not recorded in the witch's bone inscriptions.

"You have some knowledge. Have you ever had contact with the Tianling tribe before?" Bai Zhong looked Lie up and down, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"I haven't had any contact with him, but..."

Lie shook his head slightly, without hiding anything, and said frankly: "I have seen someone selling magical bones here before, so I know the inside story." Bai Zhong narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then took out a few things and handed them to Lie.

A molten bead, half a bone, and a pile of elixirs.

Space magic weapon...

Chu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. This was the first time he had seen this thing in Dongyuan Realm.

Lie, as a fifth-rank warrior, does not have any space magic weapon in his hands. The space magic weapons in this world must be extremely precious.

However, at this moment Chu Zheng had no time to think about the space magic weapon. His attention was attracted by the half piece of bone.

[Divine Power Bone (Level 5/Incomplete): One of the three spines of the Tianling people. If a non-Tianling person integrates it into his body, there is a 10% chance that he can awaken his innate divine power (repairable).]

Bones that contain innate magical powers... and can be grafted!

Chu Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath. Innate supernatural powers are so rare. This is a talent bestowed by God, born with it. However, in the Tianling clan, something strange has happened.

The things that Bai Zhong gave are much more valuable than these talisman weapons.

Lie accepted the spiritual medicine and the magical bone, then took out a molten bead and began to extract the blood and energy from the bead.

The amount of blood and energy stored in this molten bead was quite astonishing. It took more than two hours to transfer it all.

Bai Zhong didn't say much. He waved his hand to collect all the talisman soldiers on the ground, then turned and left.

Looking at Bai Zhong's departing back, Chu Zheng stared at his waist for a while, but still did not see the expected tail. For a moment, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Lie threw the magical bone to Chu Zheng and said slowly: "You keep it with you. When you enter adulthood and integrate it into your body, there is a certain chance that you will be blessed by heaven."

"Isn't this magical bone very rare?"

Chu Zheng was a little curious. If everyone in the Tianling tribe was like this, then the current relationship between the human race and the Tianling tribe would probably not be able to maintain superficial stability like it is now.

The innate supernatural power has a huge impact on a cultivator.

"Only the Tianling people who have entered their prime years can keep the divine patterns on their spines after death." Lie nodded.
"The Tianling tribe cannot use the divine bones themselves. In most cases, they are used to exchange for supplies from various tribes."

The Tianling tribe could not reuse these bones, so they could only exchange them for resources, and they eventually returned to the hands of the human race.

Chu Zheng understood and rubbed the half piece of bone on his fingertips.

Some divine patterns can still be seen on this broken divine bone, but they have all dimmed at this moment. I wonder what the chance of him awakening his divine powers will be after it is repaired. It is worth a try.

He doesn't even have any innate magical powers. Although innate magical powers don't necessarily mean strong combat power, they are definitely much better than having none.

As soon as the stall was opened, all the Fu Bing were taken away. The efficiency was undoubtedly astonishing, which also reflected the fact that the Fu Bing was in short supply.

This kind of weapon used for fighting is always in short supply in any era.

In the short term, Lie does not intend to make the matter of casting weapons with spiritual mines public. This is a solution that Chu Zheng came up with. It is still unknown whether these weapons will cause new problems.

If a large number of tribes follow suit, and something goes wrong with the Fu soldiers in the end, even the entire Wangshan tribe cannot afford the wrath of those large tribes.

In front of those big tribes, the Wangshan tribe does not have any ability to resist risks, and the methods of smelting minerals and forging weapons cannot be revealed to the outside world for the time being.

Since everything had been sold out, Lie simply closed his stall and started wandering around the market with Chu Zheng.

In addition to blood food, he also needs to buy some materials and spiritual ores to transform it into a furnace for smelting ore.

Before this, Lie didn't know what a furnace was, but after Chu Zheng explained it to him, he understood that it was a good thing that could save labor and further refine impurities, improving the quality of talisman weapons. It had only benefits and no harm.

Lie strode down the street, holding Chu Zheng in his palm, and said slowly:
"But if there is anything else you want, tell me and I will buy it all back."

Now, the blood food he had in his hands was more than enough to supply the entire tribe to survive the cold wave, even if he spent more.

Chu Zheng did not refuse. He looked around at the ancient market in front of him and bought a few inconspicuous little things through Lie.

Either the fragments of talisman weapons or some ancient bone inscriptions from the past, which recorded some secrets, but it would take some time to digest.

Now that the cold wave is approaching, and there is no one in the tribe who can take on the responsibility, Lie doesn't want to stay outside for too long.

After spending a few days at the fair and purchasing all the materials needed for the furnace, Lie brought gifts to each child in the tribe and set off on his return journey.

…………

…………

Chu Zheng has passed his coming-of-age ceremony and has the right to enter and leave the tribe freely.

After returning to the tribe and telling Lie about the appearance of the furnace and the precautions, he left the tribe impatiently, found an empty mine tunnel, and went in.

After making sure there was nothing unusual around, Chu Zheng took out the magical bone and repaired it directly.

A layer of warm divine light flashed, and the broken bones gradually became complete, and the magical patterns on them revived bit by bit.

However, these divine patterns are still completely incomprehensible and it is impossible to comprehend their meaning.

[Divine Power Bone (Level 5): One of the three spine bones of the Tianling people. If a non-Tianling person integrates it into his body, there is a 50% chance that he can awaken his innate divine power.]

Seeing the information sent back by the spiritual eye, Chu Zheng's eyes moved and a hint of joy emerged. The probability of awakening actually rose to 50%.

A 50% chance is already quite amazing.

After hesitating for a while, Chu Zheng put away the magical bone for the time being, preparing to step into the third and fourth levels and try again.

After repairing the divine bone, Chu Zheng did not rush back to the Wangshan tribe, but began to try to refine a storage magic weapon.

Originally, he had not planned to refine a storage magic weapon so early, but given the current environment, there were no problems.

It is not difficult to refine a low-level storage device, as long as you have a certain understanding of space.

Although his cultivation was limited, Chu Zheng already had a very deep understanding of space.

He is now a great monk who has reached the sixth stage of the Divine Infant Transformation. Combined with the information on space folding technology he obtained in the Tianyao Federation before, refining a storage magic weapon is not a difficult task for him.

It is somewhat inconvenient after all to not have a magic storage weapon in hand.

After trying for a long time, Chu Zheng finally refined a storage bag. Although the space was very small, it could still hold some trump cards.

When Chu Zheng returned to the tribe again, the furnace had been built and began to operate.
