Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chu Zheng drained the beast blood in one gulp and swiftly followed out.

The previously calm tribe began to stir due to the sound of a whistle.

High above the sky stood two figures, each with a pair of grey wings extending from their backs, bare-chested, with a Divine Bird etched on their chests.

A flicker of spiritual light appeared in Chu Zheng's pupils, and quickly, two pieces of information emerged.

[Wan Yun (Fifth Order): Possesses a beast spirit, Second-Class Totem, the totem encompasses divine skills: Beast Transformation, Divine Speed, Thousand-Mile Eye.]

[Wan Song (Fifth Order): Possesses a beast spirit, Second-Class Totem...]

Two Fifth Order cultivators, both bearing a family name and possessing the same totem.

As his understanding of this world deepened, the information provided by the Spiritual Eye became more specific.

Seeing that both men shared the surname Wan, a flicker of realization flashed through Chu Zheng's eyes.

He had overheard idle chitchat amongst the tribe's people and had some understanding of the current power divisions in the Dongyuan Realm.

The human powers in the Dongyuan Realm were divided into three parts, each centered around a powerful tribe, forming a loose alliance.

The Wangshan Tribe belonged to one of them, the 'Wan Clan Alliance.' As a member of the alliance, they were required to regularly submit part of their hunting gains, a condition for protection.

There are many Savage Beasts stronger than Lie; a single Sixth Order or higher Savage Beast could destroy the Wangshan Tribe.

The Savage Beasts within this region had been cleared out by the Wan Clan, thus ensuring the tribe's basic living environment.

"Lie."

The two figures in the sky retracted their wings and landed on the ground, evidently acquainted with Lie, and greeted him.

Lie nodded in response, took out a Melting Bead, and handed it over to Wan Yun, speaking in a negotiable tone, "The nearby game is scarce, and the gains are not much. Can we take half now, and reckon the remaining half into next year's share?"

"That's acceptable," Wan Yun agreed without difficulty, directly took out a Melting Bead, and began extracting the blood and essence from it.

About half an hour later, the extraction was completed; the originally blood-colored Melting Bead turned much duller and started to grey slightly.

An elderly witch, staggering forward with two robust men carrying large baskets on their backs filled with many neatly packed bundles emitting spiritual energy and medicinal fragrance, followed her.

The witch, not needing to hunt, also had her duties, needing to timely submit a portion of herbs and medicinal powders for healing.

Wan Yun and Wan Song, well-acquainted with the procedure, stepped forward without checking, respectfully greeted the witch, then directly lifted the baskets and prepared to leave.

Lie put away the Melting Bead and, after a slight hesitation, called out to the two men:

"Gentlemen, one moment."

He pulled Chu Zheng to the front, directly stripped off his beast skin from the upper body, displaying the totem on his back, and directly said:

"This child was found during a hunt, and I do not know to which tribe he belongs. Have either of you seen the totem on his body?"

Lie originally intended to keep Zheng Chu, but after consideration, he chose to be honest, as upon growing up, Zheng Chu would still harbor thoughts of returning to his own tribe; it was better to clarify now.

"This..."

Upon seeing the totem on Chu Zheng's back and after verification, Wan Yun slightly frowned:

"He is not from any of our Wan Clan Alliance tribes; he belongs to another alliance. If you wish to raise him, do so. He might become a warrior in your tribe someday."

He did not offer much advice, clearly not planning to help Chu Zheng find his tribe, as that would waste unnecessary effort.

The Dongyuan Realm is too vast, with countless totems; it would be very difficult to find them, especially while needing to interact with other alliances.

Seeing that the two were unwilling to get involved further, Lie said no more, bowed slightly, and watched the two depart.

"Zheng Chu, do you want to find your own tribe?"

Lie looked down at Chu Zheng: "If you want to go home, I'll help you find it."

"No need."

Chu Zheng shook his head without any hesitation: "I'll stay here."

Without Lie, this very incarnation of him might not survive in a region riddled with Savage Beasts.

During this time, he had also received a lot of care from Lie, which he intended to repay.

Moreover, the strength or weakness of the tribe did not much impact his own cultivation.

"Alright."

A smile appeared in Lie's eyes as he patted Chu Zheng's head; this year's game was not scarce, but he still kept half, specifically reserved as provisions for Chu Zheng.

In the distance, the elderly witch watched Chu Zheng, deep creases forming at the center of her forehead.

She sensed something amiss, something ominous, but was unable to see clearly for the moment.

...

...

Your adventure continues at empire

In the blink of an eye, Chu Zheng had completed the Hundred Days Spiritual Transformation, and with the beast blood Uncle Lie often fed him, his Qi strength had surpassed 30,000 catties.

[Name: Zheng Chu (Chu Zheng)]

[Cultivation: First Order (Spirit Transformation Realm Early Stage)]

[Cultivation Technique: Eternal Calamity Treasure Record]

[Repair Master: Sixth Order (1578/8000)]

[Remaining Repairs for the Day: 60]

[Currently Repairable: None]

After glancing at his panel, Chu Zheng's eyes flickered slightly and he immediately rose, went out, and found Uncle Lie:

"Uncle Lie, I want to undergo the rite of passage."

In the tribe, children would undergo a rite of passage at the age of sixteen, where they must hunt and successfully bring back a Savage Beast alone to be considered an adult.

Children who had not come of age were not yet allowed to leave the tribe alone.

Only adults could freely enter and exit and had the right to venture out hunting alone.

Although staying within the tribe was certainly convenient, Chu Zheng was somewhat worried that the Tribulation Qi might cause trouble for the Wangshan Tribe.

Ever since that nearly fatal great calamity at the beginning, he had never dared to overlook the presence of Tribulation Qi.

It was just like the last time with the Immortal Serpent Star; he couldn't be sure whether the star was shattered because of him.

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Uncle Lie couldn't help but think it was somewhat absurd:

"You're not even five years old..."

Mid-sentence, he realized that Chu Zheng's Qi strength was now much greater than that of an adult man; hunting a common Savage Beast would pose no problem at all.

"Very well."

After some thought, Uncle Lie nodded and agreed, realizing that encountering Savage Beasts at an early age could be beneficial for Chu Zheng.

"Thank you, Uncle Lie."

Chu Zheng's eyes lightly flickered, understanding that the freedom to move about was crucial for him.

Only by being extraordinary can one stand out among the ordinary. This would greatly aid him in weaving myths and legends in the future.

Moreover, in this world, there was neither a contention of Taoist orthodoxy, merely totems, and even the dispersion of Heavenly Fate was somewhat unclear.

Chu Zheng wanted to make some trials. After verification, he might even... propagate laws across the world, imparting the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline to the Human Race of this world, thereby leaving a true mark of the Taoist School and becoming a genuine Dao Lord!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now, having verified it on himself, at least the Totems can be cultivated concurrently with the Qi-refining Techniques.

A True God who pioneers a cultivation method should indeed be remembered by the Human Race of this world; at least, after his departure from this world, it would sustain a period of incense.

...

...

Chu Zheng's rite of passage was soon put on schedule.

Three days later, under the watchful eyes of many in the tribe, Chu Zheng, carrying a bone-made short spear and wearing a quiver, casually walked out of the tribe's gate.

Surrounded by waist-high weeds, Chu Zheng took a few steps and vanished from everyone's sight.

"Lie, are you really not going to follow him to check? He's only four years old, what if..."

"What if he gets lost?"

"There are quite a few Savage Beasts around here; Zheng Chu is so small, he could be swallowed whole in one bite."

"Should I go and check on him? It's still not too late."

Many people within the tribe were worried; a child under five venturing out to hunt alone had never been a precedent even in larger tribes.

Especially for a small tribe like Wangshan, where due to the scant population, every child was extremely cherished, and many couldn't bear it.

Uncle Lie shook his head slightly, well aware of Chu Zheng's strength. As long as he didn't go too far, the nearby Savage Beasts would hardly pose a threat to him.

Perhaps in less than half a day, Chu Zheng would return.

At this moment, he was already looking forward to what kind of prey Chu Zheng would bring back.
