Chapter 218 Tianling Tribe
Every time he hunts, Lie will leave the tribe a long way away and carry a large amount of animal bones back and forth, which is not realistic.
Therefore, he often could only bring back the bones of some powerful wild beasts, and occasionally he could refine a talisman weapon.
This is not unique to the Wangshan tribe, it is the case for almost all tribes, so the number of talisman soldiers is not large.
Especially consumables such as bows and arrows are quite precious.
Now that Chu Zheng had brought back the spirit mine, Lie instantly sensed its huge benefits that could not be ignored.
He did not waste time and immediately summoned a group of young men from the tribe, followed Chu Zheng and left the tribe again, and began to dig the spiritual mines.
Even if the cold wave is approaching, he has no intention of hunting anymore. As long as he has enough talisman soldiers, he can exchange blood food, elixirs, and other various resources with other tribes.
Compared with fighting wild beasts, mining is undoubtedly much safer, and the returns are much higher.
As the mineral 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 had 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 produced is limited, it is enough for some ordinary monks.
In just a few months, most of the mineral veins within a radius of thousands of miles have been excavated. The raw ore is piled up like a mountain, and thousands of talismans are piled in one place, overflowing with aura.
"Uncle Lie, drink the medicine."
Chu Zheng held a bowl of medicinal soup in both hands and brought it to Lie.
In the past few months, he had used the panel to moisturize and silently repair the injuries in Lie's body during the daily breaks in delivering medicine.
Lie took the medicine bowl, raised his head and drank it all. He couldn't help but sigh:
"The medical skills of witches have improved again."
For everything Chu Zheng did, He didn't know anything about it, he just thought it was a witch's trick.
As for his body, he knew very well that without this daily medicinal soup, he would not be able to recover at all, and would even enter old age early and begin to fail.
This is equivalent to saving a life.
Lie went out and walked around, inspecting the entire tribe. Seeing that the reserve of talisman soldiers was sufficient, Lie took Chu Zheng alone, boarded the Ming Diao, and left the Wangshan tribe with many talisman soldiers and headed southwest. And go.
“Uncle Lie, where are you going?”
Chu Zheng was a little confused.
“Market.”
Lie replied casually, with a little light in his eyes:
"There, you can see treasures that cannot be seen near the tribe, and you can even see the corpses of wild beasts in the ocean."
The Wangshan tribe is surrounded by wilderness on all sides, and is extremely far away from the ocean. , many monks 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. Ensure its own survival.
After all, the environment is different. In some areas, wild beasts are rampant and there is no shortage of food, but there is little healing elixir. The smaller the tribe, the less such resources it has.
Lie took Chu Zheng for half a month and entered a desert.
A group of buildings covering a thousand miles in radius came into Chu Zheng's sight.
Most of these buildings are large halls made of bluestones. At this moment, they are already crowded with people and there is a constant flow of people.
From time to time there are various figures of people, as well as domesticated wild beasts and ferocious birds rising and falling.
There was a little curiosity in Chu Zheng's eyes. Lie told him a lot of information about the market along the way.
This market has a long history. It existed thousands of years ago.
This place is only for trading, and no monks will thrive here. When the cold wave comes, this place will also be covered with ice and snow, leaving no trace of life. This is to avoid attracting powerful wild beasts. .
In the case of poor communication means, once this kind of market is established, it will not be easily moved.
Because once the position changes, it will reduce the survival probability of the small tribe, and even cause it to suffer disaster.
Every time the market opens, it will last for a long time, until the first snow of the cold wave falls, and the crowds of people gathered here will gradually disperse.
Those who were able to participate in the market were all top experts from the various tribes. Chu Zheng glanced casually and saw that few of the monks whose strength was below the third level appeared occasionally. They were just some children who were less than ten years old.
After setting up the Underworld Sculpture outside the city, Lie took Chu Zheng and walked on the noisy streets. He found an empty space, spread it with animal skins, and unfolded the newly crafted talisman soldiers. His movements were much restrained, and he was obviously worried.
As soon as Lie sat down, before he could speak, some totem monks gathered around him.
“So many talisman soldiers? Could it be that the tribe was attacked by wild beasts?”
Seeing thousands of talisman soldiers, the first reaction of many monks was that the tribe encountered wild beasts and suffered a large population loss, so that so many talisman soldiers could be freed up.
Chu Zheng squatted aside silently, the light in his eyes never letting up even a little bit as it kept wandering around.
Suddenly, a figure walked up to Lie. The figure was not wearing animal skins, but brocade clothes, which looked a little thin.
Only some monks from large tribes can pursue appearance. Judging from the clothes alone, this person's identity is unusual.
[Baizhong (Level 5): A monk from the Tianling Clan, possessing innate magical powers: body-holding, hiding, and water control. 】
The Tianling Clan...
Looking at the information given by Lingyan, Chu Zheng couldn't help but be a little surprised. He took a second look. This was the first time he had seen the Tianling Clan.
Baizhong looked to be in his thirties, unable to distinguish between male and female, and his pupils glowed with green and silver light, like stars.
Compared to the human race, the appearance of the Tianling clan is more refined and similar to that of the human clan. As for the scales covering the spine and the thin tail, Chu Zheng could not see anything at all. With the naked eye, , it is impossible to tell.
There is still demonic energy detectable in the desolate beast, but the gap between the spirit race and the human race today is negligible.
"What do you want to exchange these talisman soldiers for?"
Baizhong spoke slowly, his voice was hoarse and a little rough.
"Blood food, medicinal materials..."
After saying these two things, Lie glanced at Chu Zheng beside him, hesitated for a while, and said slowly:
"It would be better if you have a magical bone."
Supernatural 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 bone inscriptions of the witch.
"You have some experience. Have you come into contact with the Tianling Clan before?" Baizhong looked Lie up and down for a while, with a trace of suspicion flashing in his eyes.
"I haven't had any contact with him, but..."
Lie shook his head slightly, did not hide it, and said bluntly: "I have seen someone selling magical bones here before, so I learned the inside story. "Baizhong narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then turned his hands and took out a few things and handed them to Lie.
A molten bead, half a bone, and a bunch of elixirs.
Space magic weapon...
Chu Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. This was also the first time he saw this object in Dongyuan Realm.
As a fifth-level powerhouse, Lie does not have a space magic weapon in his hand. The space magic weapon in this world should be extremely precious.
But at this moment, Chu Zheng had no time to think about the space magic weapon. His attention was attracted by the half of the broken bones.
[Supernatural Bone (Level 5/Incomplete): One of the three spines of the Tianling Tribe. It is not a Tianling Tribe. It is integrated into the body and has a 10% chance of awakening the innate magical power (can be repaired). 】
Skeletons that hide talents and magical powers...and can be grafted!
Chu Zheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Talented supernatural powers are so rare. This is a talent given by God. It is innate, but in the Tianling clan, something changed.
These things given by Bai Zhong are worth much more than these talisman soldiers.
Lie took away the elixir and magical bone, then took out a molten bead and began to extract the blood from the molten bead.
The blood energy reserves in this molten bead are quite astonishing. It took more than two hours to complete the transfer.
Without saying anything, Bai Zhong waved his hand to put away all the talisman soldiers on the ground, turned around and left.
Looking at Bai Zhong's leaving figure, Chu Zheng stared at his waist for a moment, but still didn't see the expected tail, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed for a moment.
Lie threw the magical bone to Chu Zheng and said slowly: "You keep it with you, and when you enter adulthood and integrate it into your body, you will have a certain chance of receiving God's blessing. ”
"Isn't this magical bone very rare?"
Chu Zheng was a little curious. If everyone in the Tianling tribe is like this, then the current relationship between the human race and the Tianling tribe will not be the same. As it is now, it is still possible to maintain a semblance of stability.
Innate magical power has a great impact on a monk.
“Only the Tianling tribe who have entered their prime of life can keep the divine patterns on their spines after death.” Lie nodded and said:
“The Tianling tribe themselves cannot use the magical bones. , in most cases, it is used to exchange materials from various tribes.”
The Tianling Clan cannot reuse these bones, so they can only exchange them for resources, and eventually return them to the hands of the human race.
Chu Zheng understood and rubbed half of the white bone on his fingertips.
Some divine patterns can still be seen on this incomplete magical bone, but it is dim at this moment. I don’t know what the chance of awakening his magical power will be after it is repaired. Anyone can try it? value.
He does not have any magical powers in his body. Although having magical powers does not necessarily mean that he is strong in combat, it is certainly much better than having none.
…………
.........
As soon as the stall was set up, all the Talisman Soldiers were taken down. No doubt the efficiency was astonishing, which also reflected that the supply of Talisman Soldiers exceeded demand.
This kind of weapon used for fighting is a hot commodity in any era.
In the short term, Lie does not plan to make the matter of casting soldiers in the spirit mine public. This is a method that Chu Zheng came up with. It is not yet known whether new problems will arise with these talisman soldiers.
If a large number of tribes follow suit and something goes wrong with Fu Bing in the end, even the entire Wangshan tribe cannot bear the wrath of those big tribes.
In front of those large tribes, the Wangshan tribe does not have any ability to resist risks, and the method of smelting ore and forging soldiers cannot be revealed to the outside world for the time being.
Since everything was sold out, Lie simply closed the stall and took Chu Zheng with him to start wandering around the market.
In addition to blood food, he also wanted to buy some materials during this trip, supplemented by spiritual ore, to transform into a furnace for smelting ore.
Previously, 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 labor, and could further refine impurities and improve the quality of the furnace. The quality of the talisman soldiers has no harm at all.
Lie strode down the street, held Chu Zheng in the palm of his hand, and said slowly:
"But if there is anything else you want, tell me and buy it back together."
The blood food in his hands now, no matter how much he spends, is more than enough to supply the entire tribe to survive the cold wave. .
Chu Zheng did not refuse. He looked around and looked at the ancient market in front of him. Through Lie, he bought a few inconspicuous gadgets.
It's either the fragments of the talisman soldiers, or some ancient bone inscriptions from the past, recording some secrets, but it will take some time to digest.
Now that the cold wave is approaching, and no one in the tribe can take the lead, Lie does not want to stay outside too long.
After visiting the gathering 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 his return journey.
…………
…………
Chu Zheng has passed his coming-of-age ceremony and has the right to enter and leave the tribe freely.
After returning to the tribe and informing Empress Lie about the appearance and precautions of the furnace, he couldn't wait to leave the tribe, found an empty mine tunnel, and got in.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal around him, Chu Zheng took out the magical bone and repaired it directly.
A layer of warm divine light flashed through, and the incomplete white bones gradually became complete, and the magical lines on them revived little by little.
However, these divine patterns are still not understandable at all, and it is impossible to understand their meaning.
[Supernatural Bone (Level 5): One of the three spines of the Tianling Tribe. It is not a Tianling Tribe person. If it is integrated into the body, there is a 50% chance of awakening the innate magical power. 】
Seeing the information sent back by the spiritual eye, Chu Zheng's eyes moved and he felt a little happy. The chance of awakening actually increased to 50%.
The probability of 50% is quite astonishing.
After hesitating for a while, Chu Zheng temporarily put away the magical bone, preparing to step into the third and fourth levels before trying again.
After repairing the divine bones, Chu Zheng was not in a hurry to return to the Wangshan tribe, but began to try to refine the storage magic weapon.
Originally, he did not plan to refine the storage magic weapon so early, but in the current environment, there is no problem.
Refining low-level storage magic weapons is not difficult, as long as you have a certain understanding of space.
Although his cultivation was restricted, Chu Zheng already had extremely profound attainments in his understanding of space.
He is now a great monk of the Sixth Transformation of the Divine Infant, and with some of the space folding technology information he had previously obtained from the Tianyao Federation, refining storage magic weapons is not a big deal for him. A very difficult thing.
It is a bit inconvenient not to have the magic weapon of storage in hand.
After trying for a long time, Chu Zheng finally refined a storage bag. Although the space is very small, it can still store some trump cards.

When Chu Zheng returned to the tribe again, the furnace had been set up and started trying to operate.
