Lie still stood motionless at his original spot, not budging an inch.
"Uncle Lie, where should I go to exchange the rits from beast hunting for rewards?"
Seeing that Lie was taking a long ti to recover his senses, Chu Zheng stepped forward and asked.
"To the northwest of the camp, soone from the Wan Clan is there."
Lie gradually regained his composure and flipped his hand to take out a beast skin bag and stuffed it into Chu Zheng's hands, "This is a part of the cultivation resources specially prepared for you by the Wan Clan as a reward for discovering the Spirit Mines."
Chu Zheng's expression shifted as he stretched out his hands to receive it, and as expected, the pouch made from beast skin was a Space Artifact; the space within was slightly larger than the Storage Bag he was currently using.
As one of the three great alliances of the Human Race, it was not surprising for the Wan Clan to possess a Space Artifact.
Inside the beast skin pouch were so Spiritual dicine, two Rune Soldiers, large pieces of Savage Beast flesh, and a lting Bead that stored the essence of the flesh.
The lting Bead's capacity to hold Blood Qi was limited, and it could not absorb so of the High Grade Savage Beast's flesh; those two pieces of flesh, originated from a Seventh Order Savage Beast, and the energy contained within was quite astonishing.
The two Rune Soldiers, both of Sixth Order quality, fell a bit short of a Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure, as they hadn't undergone Spiritual Awakening and remained inanimate, incapable of battling on their own.
"The Wan Clan has sent a ssage; if you have ti, you can go there to change the totem on your back,"
Lie cald his disordered breathing and slowly persuaded, "This will be beneficial for you as well."
"There's no rush for this matter, I need to consider it a bit."
Chu Zheng did not imdiately agree, changing the totem was a matter he had his own ideas about, and he was already exploring the thod to create totems; in ti, he expected to gain so results.
He wanted to try to construct so totems that would also be of great use to his true body; before that, there was no need to rush in changing his other totems.
The most urgent task was to search for Secret dicines that enhance the Divine Soul and step into the Refine Spirit phase.
Once he entered the Refine Spirit phase, he wanted to re-enter the Hunting Ground and see if he could again find so traces of that Mysterious Immortal.
That Mysterious Immortal had cut out his own Golden Core and left it within that temple, obviously for a destined person of later tis, perhaps leaving so other traces as well.
This Nine Orifices Golden Core saved him much hardship; the nine Divine Skills it contained were also greatly beneficial to his true body, accelerating his cultivation progress in the Golden Core Realm.
It wouldn't take long before his true body could also reach the Golden Core Completion Perfection Realm, and he could begin to attempt Refine Spirit.
"Uncle Lie, I'm going to check the northwest of the campsite and will be right back."
Chu Zheng secured the beast skin pouch, then stuffed his self-forged Storage Bag into Lie's hands and directly turned to leave.
Lie looked at the Storage Bag in his hands, his eyes growing more complex.
This series of unusual occurrences had forced Lie to believe, just like the old witch had said, Zheng Chu indeed ca from an Alien Realm and possessed many incomprehensible abilities.
After a while, Lie sighed softly, clenched the Storage Bag, and turned away.
He did not know whether concealing this for Zheng Chu was right or wrong, but from the current situation, it seed to be more beneficial than harmful for the Dongyuan Human Clan.
...
...
The northwest area of the camp was the liveliest place.
More than eighty percent of the Totem Cultivators and witches participating in the Great Beast Hunting Festival gathered here.
Here, one could exchange any reward recorded by the totems on their back, including changing totems.
The process of checking the rits was simple: take a specially made Nine-section Bone Needle, insert it into the totem, and leave it for three breaths.
The bone needle would change from white to red, gradually altering layers; based on the color change of the bone needle, one could roughly deduce the number of Savage Beasts killed, with practically no margin of error.
Chu Zheng followed the crowd and slowly moved forward; after waiting for most of the day, it was finally his turn.
The person checking him was a woman, about twenty-three or twenty-four, only wrapped in a bandeau on her upper body, her totem clearly visible, a giant python with blue scales spiraling down from her spine and curling over her lower abdon.
Under the sunlight, her skin shone with a wheatish gloss, her figure supple, like a lioness in the wild, exuding the unique savageness of the barbaric era, her cultivation had entered the Fourth Order, comparable to Chu Zheng's current physical body, at the peak of adulthood.
"You are... Zheng Chu?"
The woman sized up Chu Zheng with a flicker of uncertainty in her gaze.
Chu Zheng, sowhat puzzled, looked up at her and nodded, "Yes."
The corners of the woman's mouth curved slightly as the giant python coiled around her body slowly moved to her shoulder, wrapping around her forearm and gently brushing against Chu Zheng's spine, bringing a chill that considerably distracted him.
"My na is Wan Jue, I've seen you in the tribe, and you seem to have grown up quite a bit."
Before her words had finished, a tingling sensation spread across Chu Zheng's back as a bone needle penetrated deeply into his spine.
A striking blood light flared up, quickly drawing the attention of many around them.
The Nine-section Bone Needle had turned completely red, resembling red agate and shining with a lustrous glow.
Exclamations of awe imdiately filled the air, such intense red light indicated the hunting of hundreds or even thousands of Savage Beasts of the sa realm.
Considering Chu Zheng's current cultivation, it would require the defeat of several hundred or even a thousand adult Savage Beasts to achieve such a feat.
This was a record most Totem Cultivators could only dream of.
"Truly impressive." Wan Jue withdrew the bone needle, a hint of admiration in her eyes as she asked, "What reward would you like?"
"Secret dicine that enhances the Divine Soul, or Divine Ability Bones." Chu Zheng nad the two items he currently needed the most.
Secret dicine that could enhance the strength of the Divine Soul was extrely precious to witches, commonly sought after by witches from various tribes and always in high demand.
Not to ntion Divine Ability Bones, which were also beneficial for one's body.
"Oh?"
Hearing Chu Zheng's request, Wan Jue showed a hint of surprise, "Don't you want to change your totem behind you? With your talent, using a Second-Class Totem is truly a waste."
Chu Zheng shook his head, "No need, the totem isn't important."
At his words, Wan Jue chuckled softly and lifted Chu Zheng's chin with her finger, her black and white pupils morphing into a pair tinged with a faint golden divine light:
"After you join the Wan family, I'll be your woman, how about that? I'll ask the Great Witch to change your totem without requiring your battle achievents."
Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng's expression remained unflustered as he slowly donned his beast skin jacket and whispered, "I'm only nine and a half years old this year, I don't need a woman; just give the Secret dicine and Divine Ability Bone."
A burst of laughter erupted around them, a few n of similar age teasingly approached:
"A nine-year-old baby, what would he understand?"
"Wan Jue, I am just as old as you!"
"Wan Jue, you want to marry? I'll use the best Rune Soldier of the tribe as a gift, choose !"
The Great Beast Hunting Festival was essentially a matchmaking event, and although these were jokes, so genuine intention was known only to themselves.
Wan Jue's face showed no anger; she glanced at the surrounding n with an obvious look of disdain in her voice, "What's the use of just being older? Strong on the outside but hollow inside, who knows what weak offspring that would produce, just wasting my fertile soil."
In between her words, she reached out to pinch Chu Zheng's still youthful cheek, smiling as she said:
"Since you've already reached adulthood, you can also marry, be my man and whatever you want in this world, I can provide it for you."
Chu Zheng took a step back, rubbed his face, and repeated, "Secret dicine, Divine Ability Bone."
Wan Jue's grip was surprisingly strong, and even with his current physical strength, it left a red mark on his skin.
"You little thing, at such a young age, you're really no fun at all." Wan Jue found him uninteresting and quickly pulled out five pills and two white Divine Ability Bones, stuffing them into the beast skin pouch at Chu Zheng's waist.
"Wan Jue, that's not right."
"You gave him too much! His battle achievents can't be worth all that."
A murmur of discussion erged around them, the value of just two Divine Ability Bones was significant, not to ntion the Secret dicine for enhancing the Divine Soul, which was worth more than a regular adult combatant's level Savage Beast.
Wan Jue's expression turned cold, with a sharp shout:
"The shortfall in battle achievents, I will cover for him, I am willing, it's none of your business! Disperse!"
