Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The Wan Tribe brought a total of three people, with the leader being a Seventh Order powerhouse named Wan Xu, who had entered the pinnacle of his strength.

Chu Zheng and Lie shared a room, and not long after they had settled in, the Wan Clan paid a visit.

To carry as many people as possible, the houses on the Heavenly Pheonex Flying Ship were built densely and narrowly. The rooms felt rather cramped. Now with a few more people, it immediately seemed crowded and the air circulation became somewhat stagnant.

"Lie, where did these weapons come from?"

Wan Xu swept a glance at the Rune Soldiers piled in the corner. He didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

He appeared no older than thirty, at first glance younger than Lie, wearing luxurious brocade robes with Talismatic Patterns flowing on them, which were Fifth Order Rune Soldiers.

The Wangshan Tribe was already under the protection of the Wan Clan, and it seemed that Wan Xu and Lie were already well-acquainted, so there was no need for any pleasantries.

Lie and Chu Zheng showed no surprise. Lie stood up, took a Rune Soldier, and handed it to Wan Xu.

"These are blades forged from Spirit Mines."

Lie briefly explained, then gestured for Chu Zheng to come forward and began to melt a piece of Low Grade Spirit Ore on the spot.

Wan Xu watched silently, not interrupting.

Half an hour later, a First Order Rune Soldier had taken shape in Chu Zheng's hands.

"Forge Stone into Soldiers?!"

Wan Xu took the Rune Soldier from Chu Zheng's hand, his eyes brightening with interest. He nearly immediately grasped the immense benefits hidden within.

Compared to Weapon Refining with Beast Bones, this malleable Spirit Ore was undoubtedly much more convenient.

"Who discovered this?!" Coming back to his senses, Wan Xu stared at Lie somewhat excitedly, neglecting Chu Zheng standing aside.

Lie pointed at Chu Zheng and spoke softly, "He did. His name is Zheng Chu."

Chu Zheng had long discussed this matter with Lie and was ready to divulge the technique of Refining Ore into Soldiers to the Wan Clan Alliance.

Relying on the power of the Wangshan Tribe alone, they couldn't keep this secret safe, so they decided to transfer it to the Wan Clan in exchange for a share of the benefits.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Furthermore, Chu Zheng needed to use the Wan Clan to spread the name Zheng Chu throughout the tribes along with the technique of Refining Ore into Soldiers to build momentum for the future.

First, to establish his reputation; it would be much easier to embark on God Creation later, at least laying down some groundwork.

"Oh? This child?"

Wan Xu fixed his gaze on Chu Zheng with a trace of puzzlement in his eyes, "Zheng Chu? Isn't he a member of the Wangshan Tribe?"

People of the Wangshan Tribe had no surnames, and this 'Zheng' surname didn't seem to belong to any well-known and established family.

In an instant, his expression froze, and looking at Chu Zheng filled with incredulity, he asked, "You've reached adulthood?"

Previously, his attention was all on the Spirit Ore; now that he inspected closely, he immediately discovered the powerful Essence Blood lurking within Chu Zheng.

Even for a Totem Cultivator with exceptional talent, reaching adulthood typically required at least twenty to thirty years, or even longer.

To become an adult before ten years of age was unheard of even within the entire Wan Clan Alliance, defying all expectations.

"Indeed, he is not." Lie nodded and said, "I rescued him from the wilderness; I do not know to which Tribe he belongs."

Wan Xu suddenly reached out, pulled Chu Zheng to his side, and directly unwrapped the Beast Skin he was covered in. After a thorough search, he grew more and more amazed,

"Just a Second-Class Totem, and he reached adulthood before ten years of age?!"

The strength of a totem determines the speed of a person's growth.

There's a limit to the number of totems a witch can inscribe each year. To inscribe a First-Class Totem drains a lot of energy, so naturally, not every newborn can receive a First-Class Totem.

In most cases, even for the Wan Tribe, newborns generally only receive a Second-Class Totem, and then between the ages of five and ten, they will have an opportunity to replace their totem.

Those who grow faster and consume more naturally have higher talent and thus receive more resources.

Occasionally, there are exceptions—such as when both parents and ancestors have high qualifications and a history of fast growth—then the first totem inscribed on a newborn can be First-Class.

But even a First-Class Totem couldn't possibly endow a growth speed as miraculous as Zheng Chu's!

Snaping back to reality, Wan Xu turned his head to look at Lie and inquired, "How much does he eat every day?!"

"Six bowls of adult Savage Beast Essence Blood daily."

Lie didn't hide anything; he knew exactly how much beast blood Chu Zheng consumed each day.

Hearing this, Wan Xu couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, looking at Chu Zheng as if looking at a treasure, saying, "Truly remarkable."

One bowl of Essence Blood is equivalent to half a Savage Beast, and within the Tribe, an ordinary adult warrior drinking one bowl could sustain three days' worth of needs.

This child's appetite was nearly that of twenty adult warriors; it was too exaggerated.

"A child not even ten years old, not only with exceptional talent but also this clever?" Wan Xu scrutinized Chu Zheng, his eyes filled with a hint of surprise and suspicion, "How did you discover that these stones could be used to refine soldiers?"

Chu Zheng was naturally prepared for this and immediately recounted a fabricated story.

Out hunting in the wilderness, he encountered a Savage Beast. During the struggle, the beast fire melted the Spirit Ore into liquid. Once cooled, it took on a new shape, and on a whim, he used the liquid to forge a blade and inscribed Talismatic Patterns on it, thus discovering the method of Refining Ore into Soldiers.

Such stories came easily to Chu Zheng, and he could come up with several on the fly. As for their veracity, as long as they were plausible and had some rationality, no one would care too much.

In essence, how it was discovered wasn't important. What mattered was the value brought forth by the discovery of the Spirit Mines.

"Truly a profound blessing, perhaps this is a divine favor upon our Human Race!"
