Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

During this period of observation, Chu Zheng had discovered a disadvantage of relying on totem cultivation.

The totem continuously nurtured the cultivator's body, making it increasingly strong over time. However, correspondingly, the strong body could not sustain itself merely on spiritual energy drawn by the totem and needed a large amount of energy as sustenance.

Even those with cultivation like Lie, who practiced through totems, could not abandon eating and needed to hunt savage beasts.

Previously, during the collection of beast blood qi, the Blood-Colored Divine Bead that Lie used was called the Melting Bead, whose primary function was to refine the essence of flesh and blood as sustenance for the tribe.

Within this small tribe, there were no means to create folded space, making it too time-consuming to transport the flesh of savage beasts. Moreover, the accumulation of a large amount of bloody qi could attract powerful predators, easily bringing a disaster to the tribe.

Besides this disadvantage, the life spans of these Totem Cultivators were also relatively much shorter. Immortal Path Cultivators, if they advanced to the Divine Transformation Realm and used life-extending precious medicines, could live for several thousand years, which was not difficult.

The Pseudo-Immortals of the Tongxuan Secret Realm could even live for over ten thousand years.

However, as the strongest in the Wangshan Tribe, Lie's lifespan was less than five hundred years.

Apart from the method of totem cultivation, in the Dongyuan Realm, there was another path of cultivation named "witch."

The witch's techniques varied greatly, including healing, controlling savage beasts, calling the wind and summoning the rain, and even precognition, possessing many Divine Secret Skills.

Comparatively, the lifespans of witches were longer. The current witch in the Wangshan Tribe had already lived for over a thousand years.

The witches possessed incredibly powerful Divine Souls, but their physical bodies were very frail. Thus, they could rely on their powerful souls to maintain the vitality of their weak bodies and live longer.

However, the requirements for cultivating as a witch were relatively higher, needing a lot of preparation even before birth.

Even in the fetal state, they were subjected to witchcraft, and in the innate state, they would begin to absorb Yin Qi to strengthen their Divine Souls.

Due to the imbalance of Yin and Yang within the womb, most witches were female.

Lie's daughter, Ying, was the successor to the next witch.

Since Chu Zheng followed Lie home, Ying had gone to the residence of the witch to start her secluded cultivation.

The current witch's lifespan was nearing its end, and a successor was needed.

...

...

Lie often went out hunting, so most of the time, Chu Zheng was alone at home.

What he did every day was only to cultivate and then understand the world before him.

Inside the Nine Domains and Thirteen Wastelands, most areas were territories where savage beasts roamed. Apart from the Human Race, there was another intelligent species in the Dongyuan Realm called the "Heavenly Spirit Race."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The appearance of the Heavenly Spirit Race was similar to that of humans, with scales over their spines and a thin tail trailing behind them.

The Heavenly Spirit Race did not cultivate totems but naturally possessed Divine Skills, maintaining their footing through Divine Secret Skills.

The number of the Heavenly Spirit Race was not large, less than a third of the Human Race, but their overall strength was not much different. The relationship between the two races was decent, and there had been no wars for many years, often engaging in mutual trade.

However, only strong tribes could conduct a marketplace, as without sufficient strength, they could easily be harassed by savage beasts.

"Zheng Chu!"

A loud shout came from outside, waking Chu Zheng from his cultivation. He got up and opened the door to see Lie in the courtyard showering, with several ferocious scratches on his back that were still bleeding.

The totem that was originally on his back had now moved to his shoulder, unscathed.

This totem seemed sentient, knowing how to avoid the risk of destruction.

After cleaning the wounds, Lie walked into the house, pulled out a clay pot, and grabbed a handful of grey medicinal powder, which he applied to the wounds.

The medicinal powder's spiritual energy was overwhelming, and in a moment, the still-bleeding wounds had closed up, forming a thin scab.

After doing this, Lie casually took out the Melting Bead, picked up another clay pot, poured out a bowl of Spirit Spring Water, and then extracted a strand of essence from flesh and blood, infusing it into it.

In an instant, the clear Spirit Spring Water turned into a bowl of beast blood.

He pushed the beast blood towards Chu Zheng and said concisely,

"Drink it."

Chu Zheng immediately picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

The immense Blood Qi instantly circulated through his limbs and bones, activating the totem on his back and bringing a gentle warmth. His Qi Strength increased significantly.

This was the dietary method of the Human Race in the Dongyuan Realm, where a strand of essence from flesh and blood might condense the essence of an entire savage beast, promoting the growth of flesh, bones, and muscles.

Lie often supplemented Chu Zheng's nutrition. Now, though Chu Zheng was still some time away from the Hundred Days Spiritual Transformation, his Qi Strength had already surpassed ten thousand jin, nearing the twenty-thousand jin milestone.

Lie was extremely sensitive to the strength and weakness of Blood Qi, and Chu Zheng's rapid increase in strength could not escape his eyes.

Even with the same totem, the ultimate growth could be drastically different. Each person's absorption efficiency of Blood Qi and the speed of Qi Strength increase varied, all of which could lead to differences in strength.

Chu Zheng's rapid growth, with strength already stronger than many adults, was due to his innate Talents, unrelated to the totem.

After discovering Chu Zheng's Talent, Lie placed high expectations on him, hoping he could become another pillar of the Wangshan Tribe.

After a while, the surge of Blood Qi in Chu Zheng's face finally subsided, gradually returning to normal.

Lie poured another bowl and was about to make Chu Zheng drink it when suddenly, a sharp whistle came from outside.

He paused, putting down the bowl and striding out.
