I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 84: A Period of Time for Development

Old Demon Gu was truly somewhat surprised. After all, given Zhou Feng’s strength, it was impossible for him to defeat any of the true disciples.

Old Demon Gu still had some understanding over the sect’s true disciples.

Basically, they were all fully-armed with defensive soul artifacts, and then there were all sorts of talismans and medicinal pills.

Zhou Feng was merely a poor kid who had just broken through to the Soul Altar realm. He didn’t even have the time to familiarize himself with the Soul Altar realm, nor did he have the time to cultivate Soul Altar dao arts.

‘How could this be?’

“Looks like the secret on your body isn’t simple!”

Zhou Feng’s performance aroused Old Demon Gu’s interest.

Although Old Demon Gu knew that Zhou Feng had a secret, he didn’t pay too much attention to it.

But now that Zhou Feng had killed a true disciple, the secret on his body was definitely not small.

‘This is…’

All the hair on Zhou Feng’s body stood up while a chill coursed through his spine.

“He actually couldn’t tell? It’s just that his Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi are rich…

“And this injury… He actually survived? And even healed on his own?

“The body hasn’t properly recuperated, and the circulation of Spiritual Qi isn’t smooth…”

Old Demon Gu was now carefully examining Zhou Feng’s entire body.

A pair of dark-red eyeballs was suspended in front of Zhou Feng, and his irises kept spinning.

The strange thing was that Old Demon Gu couldn’t see through Zhou Feng’s secret.

On the contrary, Zhou Feng’s body was in a mess. His meridians were displaced, his acupuncture points were blocked, and there were all kinds of scars in his body.

His body seemed to have experienced a few ruptures, but they were all very strange and self-healing.

The Spiritual Qi circulation method was extremely crude, and it seemed like no one had ever taught him.

This begged the question: how did Zhou Feng manage to kill a true disciple!?

Even if it was exchanging injuries for injuries, it was impossible!

‘Could it be a legendary battle genius?’

Old Demon Gu used Demonic Qi to create a demonic avatar.

The moment this demonic avatar appeared, Zhou Feng’s passive Battle Instinct, coupled with the perception of Master Hunter, detected it behind him.

‘What a sharp perception! Could it be that this is not a piece of scrap metal but a piece of high-quality steel?’

Old Demon Gu narrowed his eyes slightly as he observed Zhou Feng’s reaction.

There was a type of person who was born to be a battle genius in this world.

This type of person might not have high aptitude, and their cultivation speed was not fast, but when it came to actual combat, they would always be able to display battle prowess several times mightier than their original strength.

Their battle instincts and perception were abnormal, and they were able to capture the opponent’s weakness at any time.

This was the best material to refine battle slaves.

After some thought, Old Demon Gu threw out a token with the word ‘Medicine’ engraved on it.

“Interesting! This is the Medicine Tower’s token. You can go there to learn how to concoct pills for some time. It just so happens that the sect is currently at war with the Voodoo Cult! Go to the Medicine Tower and lay low!”

At that moment, Zhou Feng finally heaved a sigh of relief as the feeling of being scrutinized disappeared.

Moreover, he did not expect Old Demon Gu to be so easy to talk to. He actually asked him to go to the Medicine Tower to hide from the limelight?

Zhou Feng had heard about the Medicine Tower. It was where all the Tri-Gu Pill Masters gathered. It could be said to be the core of the Tri-Gu Sect, as well as the most harmonious place within the sect.

Zhou Feng had heard from others that it would be great if one could enter the Medicine Tower to become an apprentice.

At the very least, others would not casually try to claim his life. At the same time, he would be able to learn how to concoct pills.

One had to know that the Pill Master profession was one of riches and respect. Even a demonic sect had to show sufficient respect to a Pill Master.

After all, a Pill Master could produce all kinds of pills. This was a resource that all cultivators desperately needed.

“Given your aptitude, becoming an Apprentice Pill Master should be quite easy! If you haven’t become an Apprentice Pill Master by the time I return…”

Just as Zhou Feng’s tensed nerves relaxed, Old Demon Gu threatened him with a sinister tone.

‘Given my talent? Apprentice Pill Master?’ Zhou Feng was immediately stunned.

“If you can’t show the value of being nurtured by me, then…”

A stream of Demonic Qi wrapped around Zhou Feng’s body as he spoke.

The Demon-Devouring Seal on Zhou Feng’s body appeared once again, and it became even more eye-catching compared to before.

The Demon-Devouring Seal from before was basically invisible. But now, it covered his entire right hand. Complicated and strange vine-like patterns crawled all over his arm.

Old Demon Gu had strengthened the Demon-Devouring Seal.

Zhou Feng seemed to have a lot of secrets, so Old Demon Gu used Demonic Qi to infect one of Zhou Feng’s hands for safety reasons.

“Leave this place!”

After doing this, Old Demon Gu immediately asked Zhou Feng to leave.

Zhou Feng, who wanted to ask something, immediately shut his mouth and quickly left the back of the mountain.

…

Zhou Feng returned to his residence on Bitter Bamboo Peak.

‘Let’s tidy up first…’

A lot of things had happened, so his thoughts were a little messy. Thus, he began to clear his thoughts slowly.

And then, what should he do next?

He didn’t know when it had started, but he had begun to become reckless. Most of the time, he didn’t use his brain.

Now, he took this opportunity to carefully sort out his own situation and plan what to do in the future.

First was the threat level!

What was the most pressing matter right now? It should be the Demon-Devouring Seal on his body, which could threaten his life at any time.

‘Old Demon Gu won’t attack me for the time being,’ Zhou Feng analyzed calmly.

Although the Demon-Devouring Seal was the biggest threat, it shouldn’t be a threat in the short term.

Zhou Feng had learned from Old Demon Gu that the sect was currently fighting against the Voodoo Cult.

Although he didn’t know how strong the Voodoo Cult was, even Old Demon Gu, the Grand Elder, couldn’t stay in the sect. Presumably, the Voodoo Cult’s strength shouldn’t be weak. Therefore, there was no need to worry about the threat of the Demon-Devouring Seal for the time being.

Then, the second pressing matter would be Han Qi’s backer. Since he had killed Han Qi, others would definitely come looking for trouble with him.

But now, Zhou Feng had the Medicine Tower’s token, so he could go to the Medicine Tower to hide from the limelight.

This kind of threat was equivalent to nothing.

Finally, it was his enemy, Zhao Wu. Well, Zhou Feng had broken through to the Soul Altar realm, so Zhao Wu could not be considered a threat.

‘In other words… I can develop in peace for a period of time now?’

Perfect! He could use this period of time to consolidate his strength.

What Zhou Feng needed the most right now was a period of stable growth.

The continuous battles and all kinds of fights had made him not only physically tired but also mentally exhausted. If this continued, he felt that something would happen to him sooner or later.

It was the best-case scenario to have such a period of stable growth!
