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 number of animal bones back and forth.

Therefore, he could only bring back some powerful wild beasts' skeletons and occasionally refine a talisman weapon.

This was not unique to the Wangshan tribe, but was the case in almost all tribes, so the number of talisman weapons was not large.

Especially the consumables such as bows and arrows were quite precious.

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

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

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

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

As the 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 to refine it into talisman weapons.

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

However, after a few months of hard work, most of the ore veins within a radius of ten thousand miles have been dug out. The original ore is piled up like a mountain, and thousands of talismans are piled in one place, overflowing with spiritual light.

"Uncle Lie, drink the medicine."

Chu Zheng held a bowl of medicine soup in both hands and sent it to Lie.

In the past few months, during the intervals between daily medicine delivery, he has repaired Lie's injuries through the panel.

Lie took the medicine bowl, raised his head and drank it all, and couldn't help but sigh:

"The witch's medical skills have improved again."

He didn't know what Chu Zheng did, he just thought it was a witch's trick.

As for his own body, he knew very well that without this daily medicine soup, he would not be able to recover at all, and he would even enter the old age state early and begin to fail.

This is equivalent to 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 Wangshan Tribe with many talisman soldiers, heading straight to the southwest.

"Uncle Lie, where are you going?"

Chu Zheng was a little confused.

"The market."

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

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

Wangshan Tribe is surrounded by wilderness, 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 exchange what they have to ensure their own survival.

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

Lie took Chu Zheng and drove for half a month, and entered a desert.

A group of buildings covering a thousand miles came into Chu Zheng's sight.

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

From time to time, there were various figures, as well as domesticated wild beasts and birds.

Chu Zheng's eyes were filled with curiosity. Lie told him a lot about the market along the way.

This market has a long history. It existed ten thousand years ago.

This place was born only for trading, and no cultivators would reproduce and live here. When the cold wave came, this place would be covered with ice and snow, leaving no 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, it will reduce the survival probability of small tribes, and even cause them to suffer a catastrophe.

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.

Those who can participate in the market are all the top strongmen in the tribes. Chu Zheng glanced at them casually, and few of the cultivators he saw were below the third level. Occasionally, they were just some children under ten years old.

After settling the dark eagle outside the city, Lie took Chu Zheng and strolled on the noisy streets. He found an empty space, spread the animal skin, and unfolded the newly made talisman soldiers. His movements were much more restrained, and he was obviously afraid.

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

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

Seeing 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 could free up so many talisman soldiers.

Chu Zheng squatted silently by the side, his eyes never relaxed, and kept wandering around.

Suddenly, a figure walked in front of Lie. The person was not wearing animal skins, but brocade clothes, which looked a bit thin.

Only some cultivators from large tribes would pursue appearance. Judging from his clothes, this person's identity was unusual.

[Bai Zhong (fifth level): A cultivator of the Tianling clan, with innate magical powers: immobilization, hiding, and water control. ]

Tianling clan...

Looking at the information given by the spiritual eye, Chu Zheng couldn't help but be a little surprised. He looked at it twice more. This was the first time he saw a Tianling tribe member.

Bai Zhong looked less than thirty years old. It was hard to tell whether he was male or female. His pupils glowed with green and silver light, like stars.

Compared with the human race, the appearance of the Tianling tribe was more delicate and similar to that of the human race. As for the scales covering the spine and the thin tail, Chu Zheng couldn't see any of them. With the naked eye, he couldn't tell them apart at all.

There was still a demonic aura on the wild beast, but the gap between the Tianling tribe and the human race was minimal.

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

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

"Blood food, medicinal materials..."

After saying 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 better."

Magical bone?

Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment. Lie had never mentioned this thing to him before, and there was no record of it in the witch's bone texts.

"You have some experience. Have you ever met the Tianling Clan?" Bai Zhong looked Lie up and down, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"No, but..."

Lie shook his head slightly, without hiding anything, and said frankly: "I saw 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 piece of white bone, and a pile of spiritual medicine.

Space magic weapon...

Chu Zheng's eyes condensed slightly. This was the first time he saw this thing in the Dongyuan Realm.

Lie, as a fifth-level strongman, did not have a space magic weapon in his hand. The space magic weapons in this world should be extremely precious.

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

[Magic bone (fifth level/incomplete): One of the three spines of the Tianling Clan. If it is not a Tianling Clan member, it has a 10% chance of awakening the innate magical power (repairable) when it is integrated into the body. 】

The bones that contain innate magical powers... and can be grafted!

Chu Zheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Innate magical powers are so rare. This is a talent given by God, born with it, but in the Tianling clan, a change has occurred.

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

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

The blood and energy reserves in this molten bead are quite amazing. It took more than two hours to transfer them all.

Bai Zhong didn't say much. He waved his hand and directly collected all the talisman soldiers on the ground, and turned to leave.

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

Lie threw the magical bone to Chu Zheng and said slowly: "Take 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."

"Is this magical bone rare?"

Chu Zheng was a little curious. If everyone in the Tianling tribe was like this, then the relationship between the human race and the Tianling tribe would not be as stable as it is now.

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

"Only the Tianling tribe who have entered adulthood can keep the divine pattern on their spine after death." Lie nodded and said:

"The Tianling tribe cannot use the magical bone itself. In most cases, it is used to exchange materials from various tribes."

The Tianling tribe cannot reuse these bones, so they can only take them out to exchange resources, and eventually they will return to the hands of the human race.

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

Some divine patterns can still be seen on this broken divine bone, but now they are dim. I wonder what the chance of awakening his divine power will be after it is repaired. Is it worth a try?

He does not have any innate divine power. Although innate divine power does not necessarily mean strong combat power, it is definitely much better than having none.

Just when the stall was set up, all the talisman soldiers were taken away. The efficiency was undoubtedly amazing, which also reflected the shortage of talisman soldiers.

This kind of weapon used for fighting is a hot commodity 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 method that Chu Zheng came up with. Whether these talisman soldiers will have new problems is still unknown.

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

In front of those big tribes, the Wangshan tribe does not have any risk resistance, and the method of smelting mines and casting weapons cannot be revealed to the outside world for the time being.

Since everything had been sold out, Lie simply closed the stall and took Chu Zheng with him to wander around the market.

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

Before, 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 effort, and it could further refine impurities and improve the quality of talisman soldiers, with no harm.

Lie strode down the street, holding Chu Zheng in his palm, and said slowly:

"If you want anything else, tell me and I'll buy it all back."

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

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

They were either fragments of talismans or some ancient bone inscriptions in the past, which recorded some secrets. However, it would take some time to digest them.

Now that the cold wave is approaching and no one in the tribe can take up the responsibility, Lie does not want to stay outside for too long.

After wandering around the market for a few days and purchasing all the materials needed for the furnace, Lie brought gifts to each of the children in the tribe and set off on the return journey.

…………

…………

Chu Zheng has passed the 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 and precautions of the furnace, he left the tribe impatiently, found an empty mine tunnel, and drilled in.

After making sure that there was no abnormality 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 little by little.

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

[Divine Power Bone (Level 5): One of the three spines of the Tianling people. If you are not a Tianling, there is a 50% chance that you can awaken your innate divine power after integrating it into your body. 】

Seeing the information sent back by the spiritual eye, Chu Zheng's eyes moved, and he was a little happy. The chance of awakening has risen to 50%.

A 50% chance is already quite amazing.

After a slight hesitation, Chu Zheng put away the divine power bone for the time being, and prepared to step into the third and fourth levels before trying again.

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

Originally, he did not plan to refine the storage magic tool so early, but the current environment has no problem.

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

Although his cultivation is limited, Chu Zheng's understanding of space has long been extremely profound.

He is now a great cultivator of the sixth transformation of the Divine Infant. With the information on the space folding technology he obtained in the Tianyao Federation, it is not a difficult task for him to refine a storage magic weapon.

It is inconvenient to not have a storage magic weapon.

After trying for a long time, Chu Zheng finally refined a storage bag. Although the space is very small, it can also store some cards.

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