Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The Celestial Spirit Tribe...

Looking at the information provided by the Spiritual Eye, Chu Zheng couldn't help but feel a bit astonished, giving it a second glance. This was his first encounter with a person of the Celestial Spirit Tribe.

Bai Zhong appeared to be under thirty, indistinguishable in gender, with pupils shining a greenish-silver, like stars.

The appearance of the Celestial Spirit Tribe, compared to the Human Race, was slightly more refined and similar to humans, except for the scales covering their spine and the thin tail, which Chu Zheng could not discern at all with the naked eye.

On the bodies of Savage Beasts, one could still detect demonic energy, but the difference between the Celestial Spirit Tribe and the Human Race was minuscule.

"What do you want to barter these Rune Soldiers for?"

Bai Zhong slowly spoke, his voice hoarse and slightly gruff.

"Blood Food, medicinal herbs..."

After listing two items, Lie glanced at Chu Zheng beside him and hesitated for a while before he softly said,

"If there is a Divine Ability Bone, even better."

Divine Ability Bone?

Chu Zheng was momentarily stunned. Lie had not mentioned this to him before, and it was not recorded among the witch's Bone Inscriptions. Your next journey awaits at empire

"You do have some insight. Have you encountered the Celestial Spirit Tribe before?" Bai Zhong looked Lie up and down, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"I have never encountered them, but..."

Lie shook his head slightly, not hiding anything, and candidly said, "Previously, I saw someone selling Divine Ability Bones here, so I learned the details."

Bai Zhong narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while with his head bowed, and then took out a few items, handing them over to Lie.

A Melting Bead, half a piece of white bone, and a pile of Spiritual Medicine.

Storage magic artifact...

Chu Zheng's gaze sharpened; this was also his first time seeing such an item in the Dongyuan Realm.

Even Lie, a Fifth Order powerhouse, did not possess a storage magic artifact, indicating just how precious they were in this realm.

However, at this moment, Chu Zheng had no time to think about the storage magic artifact, as his attention was drawn to the half-piece of remnant bone.

[Divine Ability Bone (Fifth Order/Incomplete): One of three spine bones of the Celestial Spirit Tribe people. For non-Celestial Spirit Tribe, integrating it into the body has a ten percent chance to awaken an Innate Divine Ability (repairable).]

A bone embedded with Innate Divine Ability... and it could be grafted!

Chu Zheng involuntarily inhaled a breath of cool air. How rare Innate Divine Abilities were, bestowed by the heavens, inherent from birth, yet in the Celestial Spirit Tribe, they had undergone a mutation.

The items given by Bai Zhong were worth much more than those Rune Soldiers.

Lie took the Spiritual Medicine and the Divine Ability Bone, then took out a Melting Bead and began extracting its Blood Qi.

The amount of Blood Qi within this Melting Bead was astonishing. It took over two hours to complete the transfer.

Bai Zhong, without further words, waved his hand and collected all the Rune Soldiers on the ground, turned, and left.

Watching Bai Zhong's retreating figure, Chu Zheng stared at his waist for a while but still did not see the expected tail, feeling somewhat disappointed for a moment.

Lie tossed the Divine Ability Bone to Chu Zheng and slowly said, "Keep this with you. When you reach adulthood, integrating it into your body, you have a certain chance of receiving a blessing from above."

"Is this Divine Ability Bone very rare?"

Chu Zheng was curious. If every individual of the Celestial Spirit Tribe was like this, then the current relationship between the Human Race and the Celestial Spirit Tribe wouldn't be as superficially stable as it is now.

Innate Divine Abilities had a huge impact on a Cultivator.

"Only those of the Celestial Spirit Tribe who reach their prime can preserve the Divine Rune on their spine after death," Lie nodded and said,

"The Celestial Spirit Tribe can't use the Divine Ability Bones themselves; for the most part, they are used to barter for resources with different Tribes."

Unable to reuse these bones, the Celestial Spirit Tribe could only use them to exchange resources, ultimately returning them to the hands of the Human Race.

Chu Zheng understood and fondled the half piece of white bone at his fingertips.

On the incomplete Divine Ability Bone, some Divine Runes were still visible, yet now they were dim, and it was uncertain what the chances of awakening a Divine Ability would be after it was repaired and whether it was worth trying.

Innate Divine Abilities, his body lacked them. Although innate Divine Abilities didn't necessarily mean stronger combat abilities, they were definitely much better than having none at all.

...

...

As soon as he had set up shop, the Rune Soldiers were all purchased, an indicator of their shocking efficiency and high demand.

Such weapons, designed for battle, were always in short supply, regardless of the era.

In the short term, Lie had no plans to make public the secret of forging weapons using Spirit Mines, a strategy devised by Chu Zheng. Whether these Rune Soldiers would develop new issues was yet to be seen.

If many tribes started to imitate this and the Rune Soldiers eventually had problems, even the entire Wangshan Tribe couldn't bear the wrath of the larger tribes.

In front of those great tribes, the Wangshan Tribe had no capacity to withstand any risks, so the method of mining and weapon forging must remain a secret for now.

Having sold everything, Lie decided to close up shop and, with Chu Zheng, began to wander around the marketplace.

Apart from Blood Food, he also intended to buy some materials enhanced by Spirit Mines to remodel into a smelting furnace.

Previously, Lie didn't know what a furnace was until Chu Zheng explained it to him; then he understood it was a good thing that could save effort, further purify impurities, and improve the quality of the Rune Soldiers, beneficial in every way.

Lie walked down the street, holding Chu Zheng in the palm of his hand, and said in a gentle voice,

"Tell me if there's anything else you want, and I'll buy it all in one go."

Now with the Blood Food he had, even if he spent a lot, there would be more than enough to help the tribe through the cold wave.

Chu Zheng did not decline, he looked around, eyeing the antique marketplace through Lie, and purchased a few inconsequential trinkets.

They were either fragments of Rune Soldiers or pieces of ancient bone inscriptions that detailed secret matters, still needing time to be understood.

With the cold wave approaching and no one in the tribe capable of taking charge, Lie didn't want to stay outside for too long.

After wandering around the gathering for several days and acquiring all the materials needed for the furnace, Lie bought gifts for the children of the tribe and then started on his return journey.

...

...

Chu Zheng, having reached the age of maturity, now had the freedom to enter and leave the tribe at will.

Upon returning to the tribe and informing Lie about the design and things to note about the furnace, Chu Zheng could hardly wait to leave the tribe and found a vacant mine tunnel to enter.

Ensuring there was nothing unusual around, Chu Zheng took out the Divine Ability Bone and restored it directly.

A layer of gentle divine light flashed, the broken white bone gradually became whole, and the divine runes on it slowly revived.

However, these divine runes, still half unintelligible to anyone, remained impossible to fully comprehend.

[Divine Ability Bone (Fifth Order): One of the three spine bones of the People of the Celestial Spirit Tribe, non-members of the Celestial Spirit Tribe, when integrated into the body, have a fifty percent chance of awakening Innate Divine Ability.]

Seeing the information transmitted by the Spiritual Eye, Chu Zheng's eyes lit up with joy, as the chance of awakening had risen to fifty percent.

A fifty percent chance was astonishing.

After hesitating for a while, Chu Zheng still decided to put away the Divine Ability Bone for now, planning to try it when he reached the Third or Fourth Order.

After repairing the divine bone, Chu Zheng didn't rush back to Wangshan Tribe but began trying to forge a Storage Magical Artifact.

Originally, he hadn't planned to forge a Storage Magical Artifact so soon, but the current environment posed no problems anymore.

Forging a low-grade Storage Magical Artifact wasn't difficult, as long as one had a certain understanding of space.

Although his cultivation was limited, Chu Zheng's understanding of space was already profoundly deep.

Now a Great Cultivator of Divine Infant Sixth Transformation, along with some space-folding techniques learned earlier in the Tianyao Federation, forging a Storage Magic Treasure wasn't very difficult for him.

Not having a Storage Magic Treasure at hand was somewhat inconvenient.

After trying for a long time, Chu Zheng finally forged a Storage Bag. Although the space inside was very small, it was enough to keep a few trump cards.

...

...

When Chu Zheng returned to the tribe, the furnace had already been built and was starting to operate.
