With the furnace, the efficiency of slting Spirit Mines multiplied by several folds, and nurous Rune Soldier embryos were gradually forged.
During this period, Chu Zheng taught the most basic formation patterns to the Weapon Forging Masters of the Wangshan Tribe.
This was a subtle influence to lay the groundwork for future arrays.
As the speed of forging Rune Soldiers greatly increased, Lie took another trip to the market alone, bringing back a large quantity of Blood Food and Spiritual dicine.
Chu Zheng spent less and less ti returning to the tribe; he preferred to remain in the wilderness, searching for relics and treasures, and then studying the Bone Books he had previously acquired from the market.
These Bone Books contained the history of a tribe from the Dongyuan Realm, written in a very generalized manner, but among them were so pieces of information precious to Chu Zheng, regarding the thods to engrave totems.
A totem is essentially an expression of all things in heaven and earth, and Beast Spirits are rely one aspect of them; their essence still originates from a form of power from heaven and earth, which inherently has traces to follow.
With the repair panel at his disposal, he had no fear of experintation. However, before that, there was so preparation to do as his current cultivation level was not enough to explore new totems. He would need to spend ti and effort to deeply study them.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.
The three suns in the sky had lost one without notice, which was the prelude to the coming of the Cold Wave.
In at most another half year, all three suns in the sky would disappear, and the Cold Wave would subsequently arrive.
The previously common low-grade Savage Beasts had vanished without a trace, each returning to their underground caves to prepare for a lengthy hibernation, reducing their energy consumption.
The sense of dry heat in the air began to subside, and the winds that blew no longer carried a scorching heat but now had a touch of mildness to them.
The atmosphere between heaven and earth silently changed, and every mber of the Wangshan Tribe beca extrely solemn, gradually moving underground.
Only at this mont did Chu Zheng discover that a thousand feet beneath the Wangshan Tribe had already been hollowed out; the passageways were intricate and complex, spreading like a spider's web, with many stone rooms carved out, Spiritual Springs drawn in, and plenty of Spiritual dicine stored.
For the younger and adolescent tribespeople, the stone halls and wooden huts on the surface were simply uninhabitable during the Cold Wave, so they had no choice but to move underground.
Moreover, being exposed on the surface made it easy for top predators to detect their scent, inviting disaster.
Even large tribes had to hide underground during the Cold Wave, or they would be easily harassed by Savage Beasts, encountering great calamities.
At Lie's insistence, Chu Zheng no longer ventured outside and remained in one of the underground stone rooms in the Wangshan Tribe, focusing on his closed-door cultivation.
As his cultivation improved, Chu Zheng felt the existence of Heavenly Fate more clearly. Practicing Qi Techniques in the Dongyuan Realm was completely different from his ti in the Cangyun Realm.
Heavenly Fate did not cause him much influence, but neither did it provide much assistance. The Heavenly Fate of the Dongyuan Realm was extrely scattered, drifting about without any sign that Taoist Orthodoxy had ever existed.
Strictly speaking, the Totem Path was not a complete path of cultivation; it was more like draping the Human Race with the outer covering of spiritual objects from heaven and earth, drawing power from this world through the totem.
The power belongs to the totem, not to the Human Race itself.
Chu Zheng even doubted whether the power of the totem could continue to exist after leaving this world.
Such a path is undeniably beneficial to the world; after death, everything returns to heavens and earth, having no impact on the world.
But for cultivators, the significance of this may require so contemplation.
However, this thod of cultivation relying solely on totems doesn't truly qualify these Dongyuan Human Clan mbers as cultivators.

Before solving the problem of racial survival, these Totem Cultivators hardly had the energy to think about these matters.
Over a year's ti, with the innate Qi within the child's body not yet dissipated, coupled with the nourishnt from a large amount of Spiritual dicine, Chu Zheng's cultivation steadily entered Spirit Transformation Realm Perfection, nearing the completion of Jade Bone.
The growth in cultivation made Chu Zheng's physique much stronger, his appetite increased significantly, capable of digesting more beast blood.
Drinking large amounts of beast blood daily, his body underwent an astonishing transformation. His Qi Strength had broken two hundred thousand catties, and now, he could easily kill a Second Order Savage Beast without relying on his Qi Refinent's Cultivation.

Down below, out of sight of the sun and moon, it was impossible to differentiate the ti. Chu Zheng could only use the cycle of the Grand Circulation to keep track of ti.
Being underground without seeing the sun caused so trouble for his cultivation, slowing down his progress.
About half a year after entering the underground palace, Chu Zheng cultivated Jade Bone.
From then on, his ti in Dongyuan had exceeded two years, and this rate of growth was not considered slow.
Hum——
Lie directly pushed open the door and stepped into the stone room. He had shaved off his full beard, appearing much younger, around the age of thirty. His body was like a divine tower, cast from adamantine, but now his expression bore a touch of solemnity:
"Zheng Chu, co with ."
Having spoken, he turned and walked towards the depths of the underground palace.
Chu Zheng followed, slightly puzzled.
As he walked through the tunnels, he quickly noticed that sothing was off.
The temperature underground was originally very high; the heat from slting Spirit Mines could not dissipate in a short ti, accumulating in this place. Moreover, with no ventilation, it was like a stear.
Just a few steps in, and one would be drenched in sweat, unable to stop the loss of moisture from their body.
