"This Rune Soldier is of the highest quality, keep it for yourself; the rest, I will exchange for Blood Food according to their specific qualities over ti."
Lie explained offhandedly, not turning his head, and walked toward the courtyard gate: "Co on, I'll take you to et the witch."
Chu Zheng followed Lie's pace at a jog, saying softly, "It's okay, there's no need to be so precise... "
If it weren't for Lie picking him up from the wilderness, he might not still be within the Dongyuan Realm at this mont. The favor alone was substantial enough.

"This is the rit you earned from hunting, it should be this way."
Without a hint of emotion in his expression, Lie glanced back at Chu Zheng, who was running after him with short strides, and picked him up with one hand as he strode toward the dwelling of the witch.
A few breaths later, Chu Zheng found himself inside a Green Stone Grand Hall at the center of the Tribe.
The Great Witch, with his white hair, ca shuffling over, leaning on his cane; Ying followed by his side, and upon seeing Lie and Chu Zheng, her face lit up with an uncontrollable radiant smile:
"Father, Zheng Chu!"
Lie nodded slightly and knelt on one knee to pay his respects: "Great Witch, Zheng Chu has co to seek your advice on so matters."
"What do you wish to ask?" the witch asked Chu Zheng, his voice slightly hoarse.
"I would like to see the Bone Book." Chu Zheng tried his best to keep his eyes wide open, maintaining the innocence and simplicity of his age, a flash of Spiritual Light in his eyes transmitting a stream of information.
[Luan (Sixth Order): Great Witch in the Divine Communication Realm, his viscera deeply corroded by Yin Qi, gravely ill, his lifespan nearing its end, master of Divine Skills: Spirit Control, dicine, Divination, Star Phase, Precognition.]
Chu Zheng's heart stirred slightly; just in terms of Divine Soul strength, this witch nad 'Luan,' was not weaker than a cultivator of the Tongxuan Secret Realm, comparable to a powerful being of Refining Spirit Returning to Void.
However, his combat strength was clearly much lacking, and it remained unknown to what extent his Precognition skill could see; whether it could access so vague fragnts or clearly view the trajectory of events.
The Eternal Calamity Treasure Record also ntioned Divine Skills related to foretelling the future, which involved using Divination Art to calculate the trajectory of events.
All things in the universe have their paths of motion; for instance, predicting the final landing spot of a teorite falling from the sky based on its trajectory is not difficult, and this is also a manifestation of Precognition.
Divination Art works in just this way, but it requires many conditions; if so are incomplete, the outco of the divination can change significantly.
For example, in a fight between two cultivators, one can generally predict the outco based on their levels of cultivation, the strength of their Magic Treasures, and the number of trump cards they hold.
However, their physical condition, psychological fluctuations, ability to adapt on the fly, and even external interference can affect the end result.
These imasurable factors are variables.
Amidst the interference of variables, any thod of foresight can deviate from the future.
Chu Zheng has always harbored profound doubts about Precognition.
After all, if part of the trajectory of events changed due to Precognition, then what was foretold previously should also see andnts, with vast and complex related information and elents—an understanding far beyond his current Cultivation.
The witch fell silent for a while, then gestured with a wave: "Follow ."
Chu Zheng collected his thoughts and, feeling a slight delight, followed the witch to a wooden rack deep within the grand hall.
The rack was piled high with the bones of Savage Beasts, densely inscribed with many twisted characters.
These etchings on the bones recorded parts of the history of the Dongyuan Realm.
Learning a new language was no trouble at all for Chu Zheng; he quickly imrsed himself in these Bone Books.
The witch stood by, watching Chu Zheng for a long ti, then finally left slowly.
...
...
The information recorded in the Bone Book was quite chaotic and fragnted; Chu Zheng, with enough patience, didn't find sorting through the information tedious but rather enjoyed the process.

According to so of the information, the situation of the Human Race in the Dongyuan Realm in the beginning was far more difficult than it is now, with almost no ability to protect themselves, always at the bottom of the food chain.
Even the slightly weaker Savage Beasts basically maintained their own survival by preying on the Human Race, while the stronger Savage Beasts didn't even bother with the weak energy in human flesh. Compared to that, hunting other Savage Beasts was more efficient and could fill their stomachs more quickly.
In order to protect themselves, so people began to try various thods to enhance their physique and explored the way to extract strength from the bodies of Savage Beasts.
At first, so people branded the shapes of powerful Savage Beasts onto their bodies, hoping to borrow the strength of those mighty creatures.
After countless failures, the first totem finally appeared. Nature's spiritual energy passed through the totem into the bodies of the Human Race, strengthening their flesh and bones.
This type of totem was called 'Beast Spirit'.
With the power of the Beast Spirit totem, the Human Race gained a bit of self-protection, and together with the breakthrough in lifespan, the population exploded over the course of a thousand years.
However, the strength gained through the totems made the flesh of the powerful human figures a target for many top predators.
What was once considered tasteless and a pity to discard had now beco sufficient to satiate their appetites.
The totems themselves were derived from these powerful Savage Beasts, so it was sheer fantasy to try to conquer these formidable creatures with the power of the totems.
In less than a hundred years, the rising Human Race encountered a devastating blow, and many Tribes were destroyed as a result.
Under the trendous pressure of extinction, so began to shift their focus from Savage Beasts and looked towards the heavens, earth, sun, moon, and stars, creating even more powerful totems.
This power was called 'Heavenly Pattern'.
Later on, so applied the Heavenly Patterns to weapons, thus creating fearsoly powerful Rune Soldiers.
But even with the existence of Heavenly Patterns, the living space of the Human Race was still continuously squeezed by the Savage Beasts.
To prevent history from repeating itself, a large number of top figures began to look into the depths of the Human Race itself, looking to carve a new path of cultivation.
However, after carrying a totem, attempting other thods was simply not feasible, and these people could only turn their gaze to unborn children.
For trying out new cultivation paths, many newborns inevitably beca sacrifices and died young due to various incorrect attempts.
Until the arrival of the first witch in the Dongyuan Realm.
With a powerful Divine Soul, the witch for the first ti tad a Savage Beast, developed the Spirit Controlling thod, and thus had dominion over Savage Beasts.
As ti passed, the cultivation thods of the witch beca increasingly refined, and with the ergence of dicine and Healing dicine, the casualties suffered by the Human Race in hunts were greatly reduced.
With the Divination Art to avoid disaster and seek fortune, many dangers were nipped in the bud, and only then did the Human Race get a breather and began to evolve to the state we see today.
Although they were still unable to stand toe-to-toe with the Savage Beasts, they had gained the power to protect themselves and to have a territory where they could multiply and thrive.
There is no ntion of the witch's thods of cultivation in these Bone Books.
Chu Zheng sat there for half a month, and every day at dawn and dusk, Ying would bring him a bowl of beast blood to fill his stomach.
This was Lie's instruction; he was at a ti when he was growing, and could not waste any opportunity to eat.
Only after he had finished reading all the Bone Books on the wooden rack and neatly sorted them did Chu Zheng finally take a long breath and felt a sense of satisfaction.
He had finally gained a general understanding of the totemic cultivation path, as well as the witch.
Since there was no thod of breathing and nourishnt, those Cultivators carrying totems could only rely on the totems to draw strength and devour the essence of the blood and flesh of Savage Beasts to increase their Qi Strength.
The energy of blood and flesh that Cultivators took in every day was limited, just like ordinary people eating als; even if one ate from morning to night, there was only so much they could consu, and no more could be digested.
Therefore, the classifications of cultivation levels in the Dongyuan Realm were very general, primarily based on age and sowhat similar to Savage Beasts.
There are six stages: juvenile, youth, adult, mature, peak, and old age.
According to cultivation, Chu Zheng has already left the juvenile stage and prematurely entered the youth stage.
