Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

```

Chu Zheng gathered his thoughts and his consciousness returned to his body, where he checked his status panel.

As expected, the word "Soul Capturing" appeared in the talent section, similar to the "Spiritual Eye," originating from the depths of his divine soul, and unrelated to his physical body and strength.

The divine skill of "Soul Capturing" was not of high grade, but it had the potential to grow, related to the strength of one's own divine soul.

During combat, it could capture the spirit of the opponent; if the cultivation levels were similar, one could seize the fleeting opportunity for battle, and strike with certainty.

Beyond that, "Soul Capturing" could also control the spirits of living creatures, manipulating savage beasts and even cultivators was not a difficult task.

Divine skills of the divine soul are scarce, and combined with the fact that it was an innate divine ability with potential to grow, the value of this Divine Ability Bone was immeasurable to Chu Zheng.

It seems that, in the future, he needed to devote some effort to searching for high-grade Divine Ability Bones. Innate divine abilities could greatly assist his true form; wasting this opportunity would be far too regrettable.

The Great Beast Hunting Festival was an event even the Heavenly Spirit Race would attend. As long as he had the appropriate bargaining chips by then, exchanging for two more Divine Ability Bones should not be difficult.

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Chu Zheng began to circulate his Grand Circulation, Refining Essence into Qi.

The Sun and Moon Essence Qi of the Dongyuan Realm was astonishingly abundant, and the growth rate of his Dao Embryo was rapid. In at most two more years, he would be able to try condensing his Life-bound Golden Core.

Without the help of Heavenly Fate, this level of speed was unimaginable. Without the restored status panel to alleviate the harm that Spiritual Medicines could do to the body, no Qi Cultivator could have reached his state.

Six months passed in the blink of an eye.

Led by Lie, Chu Zheng and half of the elite warriors of the tribe set out on the road to the Great Beast Hunting Festival.

Ying stayed behind in the tribe, as a witch could not be away from the tribe for long. During these six months, besides inscribing totems for newborns, she was always preparing healing herbs, which was extremely exhausting.

The warriors from the Wangshan Tribe setting out for the Great Beast Hunting Festival were armed to the teeth, with an entire array of weapons and armor, including shields and boots.

Previously, due to the limitations of Beast Bones, most of the Wangshan Tribe's Rune Soldiers were of an offensive type, and only large tribes had protective armor made from the scales of Savage Beasts.

Processing armor from Savage Beast scales required an extremely high level of skill, not merely the interplay of various Talismatic Patterns but also the regulation of the scales' flexibility and protective qualities, which only a high-grade Talisman Soldier Master could possess.

The inability to melt down the scales and reshape them surely entailed significant limitations.

The Weapon Forging Masters of the Wangshan Tribe were far from being able to forge such scale armors.

However, forging iron armor from Spirit Mines was much less troublesome.

One only needed to smelt the metal, then shape it with molten Spiritual Liquid and engrave either Talismatic Patterns or Formation Patterns upon it.

Lie was filled with anticipation for the upcoming festival. With the enhancement of their weaponry, the Wangshan Tribe was bound to return full-handed.

Aside from these, Lie also prepared a large number of Rune Soldiers for trading with other tribes.

...

...

After traveling for nearly half a month on the backs of Ming Sculptures, the delegation from the Wangshan Tribe finally arrived at the gathering point.

This place was not where the Great Beast Hunting Festival would be held, but rather where the Wan Clan's Tribal Alliance gathered.

The location of the Great Beast Hunting Festival was beyond the Human Race territories, in the 'Thirteen Wastes' of the Nine Domains and Thirteen Wastes.

In the Nine Domains, half belonged to the Human Race and the other half to the Celestial Spirit Race. Although there were many Savage Beasts active, it was somewhat safe.

But the Thirteen Wastes were truly the realm of Savage Beasts, utterly uninhabited by humans, and it was simply impossible for anyone to survive there.

If it weren't for the combined efforts of the three major clans controlling the field, it would be impossible for the individual tribes to penetrate into the territory of the Thirteen Wastes to hold such a grand event.

The Wangshan Tribe arrived a bit late, and the departure ceremony of the Wan Clan's Tribal Alliance had already begun.

A large number of Savage Beasts were put into a giant pit, where many warriors from different tribes were battling the beasts.

A vast amount of blood splattered, congealing into a river. Totems bathed in the blood of Savage Beasts glimmered brightly, eliciting rounds of cheers.

This was a method to boost morale, first stimulating the warriors from various Tribes gathered here with the blood of Savage Beasts, inciting them into an excited state.

Chu Zheng surveyed his surroundings, his gaze suddenly sharpening. He saw some individuals from the Celestial Spirit Race.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Their number was not many, but they were all strong fighters, with none of their cultivations below Fourth Order.

Those who came to participate in the Great Beast Hunting Festival were all warriors of various Tribes who had reached adulthood, with none below Third Order, but in comparison to the Celestial Spirit Race, they were still significantly weaker.

...

...

The ritual before departure was swiftly completed. Millions of elite fighters from various Tribes gathered together, strong as clouds.

Chu Zheng, mingling with the crowd, saw many awe-inspiring elites, including those of Seventh or even Eighth Order, the pinnacle of Totem Cultivators.

Most Tribe warriors wore only beast skins, with many even going bare-chested, unabashedly displaying the totems on their backs.

The warriors of the Wangshan Tribe were extremely conspicuous among the many Tribes, drawing frequent gazes with just the armor covering their entire bodies.

However, in such an enthusiastic atmosphere, no one came forward to strike up a conversation just yet.

Besides these Totem Cultivators, Chu Zheng also saw a significant number of witches, all clad in hooded black robes that concealed their faces.

Many powerful Tribes had more than one witch, unlike small Tribes like the Wangshan Tribe, which only had a single line of transmission.

This was related to resources. A small Tribe could not afford to support two witches at the same time. Witches required Secret Medicines to increase their Divine Souls for cultivation, and such medicine was hard to come by, necessitating a large amount of Blood Food for trade, which was quite resource-consuming.

After the ceremony, people from the various Tribes were quickly led to a gigantic Divine Bird, and they sequentially climbed onto its back.

This was not a living creature, but instead an extremely formidable Rune Soldier. Hundreds of miles long, it was like a mountain range.

This Rune Soldier was built upon the skeleton of a gigantic Divine Bird, clad in feathers of different Divine Birds. Each feather featured Talismatic Patterns along its length, emitting a faint glow. There were houses and palaces on it, enough to accommodate tens of millions of people.

[Heavenly Phoenix Flying Ship (Eighth Order): Main body forged from the skeleton of an Eighth Order Azure Phoenix, combining feathers from a hundred Divine Birds and 7,830 different Formation Patterns. Possesses Divine Skills: Space Shattering, World Escaping, Hundred Phoenix Chant.]

Eighth Order!

It was on par with an Immortal Treasure.

Receiving the information from his Spiritual Eye, Chu Zheng was momentarily astonished.

This was without a doubt the pinnacle in Dongyuan Human Clan's ability to forge Talisman Soldiers, a feat requiring an immense amount of manpower.

Just the task of hunting down an Eighth Order Divine Bird was incredibly arduous, costing many lives and a long, massive endeavor to collect the feathers of these Divine Birds.

However, the result proved worthwhile. This Heavenly Phoenix Flying Ship had an astonishing combat power, a treasure upon which the Wan Clan Alliance could rely for its very foundation.

After several days, the people from the various Tribes finally all boarded the flying ship, settling down among the feathers.

After adjusting for half a day, the Heavenly Phoenix Flying Ship spread its wings and took to the sky, carrying millions of elites toward the northwest.

This Great Beast Hunting Festival would last at least two years, and many had prepared themselves, knowing they might not return to their Tribes.

In just under half an hour into the journey, guests arrived at the Wangshan Tribe's quarters.

The members of the Wan Clan had come calling, interested in the Rune Soldiers forged from Spirit Mines.

The Wangshan Tribe stood out conspicuously, attracting the attention of many Tribes, and the Wan Clan naturally noticed as well.

Lie and Chu Zheng had anticipated this scenario, or rather, they had deliberately intended to attract attention, which is why they had been so ostentatious.

The Wan Clan would certainly want to uncover the secrets, and using this as leverage to negotiate for some benefits beforehand was the wisest choice.

After this Great Beast Hunting Festival, it would no longer be possible to keep the existence of the Spirit Mines and Rune Soldiers a secret. Therefore, it was better to take the initiative into their own hands.
