Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chapter 116: Chapter 97: Town Immortal Mace

```

Regarding the current situation, Chu Zheng's understanding had become increasingly clear.

From the attitudes of Zhou Zili and Ling Qi before, one could infer that the circumstances of Taixuan Holy Land weren't very promising.

And his current situation, surrounded by enemies on all sides, was also inextricably linked to Taixuan Holy Land.

The way things had unfolded with Ye Yulou, along with the collaboration of several Holy Lands in such a high-profile manner, issuing a bounty to search for someone, all pointed to some telling signs.

The Hidden Dragon List is only possessed by the Holy Lands.

Apart from the Holy Lands, most of the other major Sects probably didn't know that Chu Zheng was from Taixuan Holy Land; they were primarily motivated by the bounty.

The Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, held once every hundred years, what Chu Zheng needed to do now was to ensure that his name would be remembered in Cangyun Realm during the future Hidden Dragon Tournaments.

After stepping into the Jade Bone Realm, Chu Zheng's power had vastly surpassed that of before, and with the Immortal Path Cultivation in him, ordinary cultivators in the late stage of the Entry Dao Realm were no match for him.

If ranked by real combat strength, Chu Zheng's position would have to be advanced by over six thousand places.

Those ranked in the top two thousand mostly possessed high-quality Immortal Bones and had cultivated for decades – considered the mainstay in ordinary Sects.

As for Chu Zheng, his cultivation journey had only spanned a single cycle of seasons.

Now that cultivators in the Divine Infant Realm couldn't make a move, facing those in the Soul Condensing Realm, Chu Zheng only needed to be a bit more careful and keep a safe distance to avoid any significant danger.

"Plunder the rankings..."

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Song Lingqing was momentarily stunned, but once she realized what he meant, she was worried yet couldn't help feeling a surge of excitement.

Chu Zheng didn't seem like a rash person; him saying such things indicated he had some confidence.

"Now that these people are mostly searching for me, I shall give them an opportunity."

The Hidden Dragon List recorded the essence of all remarkable talents, and with Chu Zheng now adept in Heavenly Divination Technique, searching for someone covertly or openly couldn't be any more convenient.

Giving the Hidden Dragon List to him, as Geng Yiyang had done, was undoubtedly the worst decision.

Chu Zheng looked up at the marketplace not far away and spoke in a gentle tone,

"First, I need to gather some Spiritual Materials to refine a Magic Treasure."

This action would undoubtedly have a far-reaching impact, affecting many people, and required thorough preparation in many aspects.

Having stepped into the Jade Bone Realm, Chu Zheng could now begin to practice Divine Skills and refine a Life-bound Magic Treasure.

Though he didn't have methods to cultivate Divine Skills yet, and repairing the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline - Upper Volume required more time.

Currenty, Chu Zheng was preparing to refine his first Life-bound Magic Treasure.

There's no limit on the number of Life-bound Magic Treasures one can have, but a Qi Cultivator's energy is finite; it's challenging enough to maintain two or three with substantial time investment.

This was clearly different from the Magic Treasures of cultivators, bearing unique imprints belonging to him.

Chu Zheng wished to emulate the divine whip from ancient legends and refine a weapon targeted at Immortal Path cultivators.

Mana itself was comprised of Qi; Spiritual Energy entered the body, was absorbed by the cultivation technique, transformed by the body, and became Mana.

Being an Immortal Path Cultivator himself, as long as he understood the composition of Mana, refining a Life-bound Magic Treasure with special effects was not a difficult task.

Should he be able to dissolve the Mana of Immortal Path Cultivators during a confrontation, there's no doubt he would have a tremendous advantage.

The two of them entered the marketplace again to search for suitable Spiritual Materials.

Chu Zheng was looking for a Spiritually Awakened Precious Jade, the quality of which didn't need to be too high; as his cultivation improved, he could enhance its level over time with Qi Nourishing.

The marketplace was bustling with a variety of goods for trade, such as Magic Artifacts, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Demon Cores, Demon Beast's Flesh and Blood, and even some rare ancient items.

Such ancient items held little value in the eyes of cultivators, but due to their rarity and uniqueness, a small number of people liked to collect them, willing to spend Spirit Stones to buy them as curios.

Giant Marsh wasn't always as it is seen today; tens of thousands of years ago, this place had no rivers, lakes or seas, but was a land of mountains and valleys where many Sects continued the Taoist Orthodoxy.

One day, a portal from an Alien Realm opened nearby, and overnight, a deluge descended from the heavens, flooding over a million miles, causing countless deaths and destruction.

This catastrophe's changes took thousands of years to settle down; now, the water demons and some remaining Alien Species bloodlines in Giant Marsh are relics of that time.

Beneath these continuous waters, besides water demons, there are many ancient cities, among which are remains from the Martial Path's Sects. Some cultivators of the Water Element Technique would occasionally venture there, hoping to find some hidden treasures.

Such rags-to-riches tales had really happened. Once, a Loose Cultivator opened a Sect's treasury by chance.

The treasury was protected by an Array and remained unaffected by time, preserving countless Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicines until today.

That Loose Cultivator secluded himself for years before establishing his Sect, becoming an ancestral master.

Such legends resurface every few millennia, and most cultivators in Giant Marsh are accustomed to them.

Preserved Sect treasuries are still very few; there are more dangerous water demons beneath the waters.

Walking past these artifacts, Chu Zheng's steps involuntarily slowed, he picked them up one by one, played with them for a while, and then stored them all in his bag.

Items from tens of thousands of years ago held noticeable differences from contemporary objects, and for Chu Zheng, it was easy to uncover some dust-covered treasures within.
