I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 37: Being Watched

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After dealing with Senior Brother Zhou’s corpse, Zhou Feng did not immediately return to Bitter Bamboo Peak. Instead, he chose to find a place to recuperate.

He planned to recuperate before returning. Otherwise, it would be a little dangerous to return directly like this.

He possessed the passive Self-Healing Constitution, and his injuries were not too serious, so he would completely recover in a while.

While Zhou Feng was recuperating, he began to think about what he should do next.

His next plan was naturally to continue killing those Senior Brothers and Sisters of his.

He could quickly increase his cultivation realm by devouring their Demon-Devouring Gu and getting rid of the threat named Wang Ming.

Regarding Wang Ming’s realm, he was not very clear.

However, it was very likely that he was at the 9th Level of Qi Condensation, ready to cast his Soul Altar at any time.

According to this standard, Zhou Feng had to at least reach the Qi Condensation realm before he could contend with Wang Ming. It was even to the extent that he had to reach the?9th Level of Qi Condensation. After all, his method of breaking through was a little tricky.

Compared to the same realm, his battle prowess should be a little weaker.

Now that he was at the 9th Level of Qi Gathering realm, how could he break through to the Qi Induction realm?

Although there were no bottlenecks below the Soul Altar realm, there were differences in the efficiency of different breakthrough methods.

Unfortunately, the Bitter Bamboo Peak was very chaotic.

There was neither an instructor nor an Elder to teach those things.

Only the Grand Elder and a few Senior Brothers and Sisters were actually casually addressed by them daily.

Unlike Bitter Bamboo Peak, the other peaks were much more normal. Not only did they have specialized teaching Elders, but they also had various missions and benefits. The communication between the disciples was also very smooth.

The difference between the Qi Gathering and the Qi Induction realms was actually in that one word.

The Qi Gathering realm was to draw a small amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the body, temper the body, and convert spiritual energy.

The Qi Induction realm was to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi with all its might, and the body could also withstand the tempering of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

At the same time, their bodies, spiritual energy, and so on would enter a state of metamorphosis.

Just from the description alone, there was not much difference between the two.

To be honest, if it really did not work out, Zhou Feng planned to break through by force, and he would not rely on any blessed land or spiritual pills.

“There is definitely an offensive battle art on Bitter Bamboo Peak, but I did not know about it before!”

What Zhou Feng was thinking about now was the issue of battle arts.

Previously, it was very likely that Wang Ming had deceived him. No matter how powerful the Demon-Devouring Technique was, the First Elder of Bitter Bamboo Peak wouldn’t be able to become the Grand Elder just by relying on the Demon-Devouring Technique alone.

There were definitely a few arts. Even if he walked the path of the physical body, he would still have a few martial techniques!

It was likely that Wang Ming had deceived him from the very beginning. That Demon-Devouring Technique was definitely not the complete version.

Zhou Feng immediately planned to look for any arts or martial techniques that could be learned on Bitter Bamboo Peak after he returned.

Currently, he only had the Ghost Shadow Steps he had obtained from the Scripture Pavillion.

Moreover, because he did not usually practice the Ghost Shadow Steps, he used them when he was on his way. It was truly a little shabby.

After this simple thought, he felt much clearer about what he should do next.

Not long after, relying on his passive Self-Healing Constitution, his injuries were basically healed.

At the same time, Old Skin’s passive state seemed to have been triggered, and he felt that his skin had become more tenacious.

If he was now in a game world, the words ‘+1 Defense’ would probably appear above his head.

…

After returning to Bitter Bamboo Peak, Zhou Feng also received protection fees from Qian Shang.

This was also the first time he received a protection fee.

“Eh? So many things?”

Zhou Feng had never received a protection fee before, so he didn’t know exactly what he would gain.

Nonetheless, he was quite familiar with the value of some things, such as Spirit Stones, which were absolutely hard currency in the inner sect.

One Spirit Stone was enough for a Qi Gathering cultivator to cultivate for three days.

Different from attracting the wandering Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, the spirit energy in Spirit Stones was very gentle after many years of precipitation.

It was also very convenient to absorb, unlike the violent Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Therefore, when using Spirit Stones to cultivate, one’s cultivation speed would be several times faster than without Spirit Stones.

It was precisely because of this effect that Spirit Stones were hard currency.

Take an ordinary inner disciple as an example. The monthly rate was about 3 Spirit Stones, which was enough for them to cultivate for nine days.

And the money merchant had actually sent 10 Spirit Stones at this time!

It must be known that this was only a part of the protection fee, and it would be available every month after that.

How could such a small shop earn so many Spirit Stones!?

“Are these Primeval Blood Pills? And some Blood Pills?”

Zhou Feng suddenly realized that the owner of this shop had spent a lot of money. These many things should be equivalent to more than half of the profit of a shop!

After eliminating the daily consumption, there was not much left.

Thinking of this, Zhou Feng felt that he had to pay attention to Shopkeeper Qian’s shop.

He had spent a lot of money, and it was not Zhou Feng’s style to receive money and do nothing.

Now that he had the cultivation resources, Zhou Feng naturally continued to cultivate.

Although he could use the Demon-Devouring Gu to increase his cultivation level, he could not fall behind in his daily cultivation.

If he only relied on the Demon-Devouring Gu to increase his cultivation level and did not cultivate on a daily basis, then he would really fall into the Demonic Path.

At present, he had only half a foot in the Demonic Path. He was not really falling into the Demonic Path.

At the marketplace…

Qian Shang had also changed the signboard outside.

Thus, Zhao Wu and Qian Shang’s former backer, Jia Ju, also learned that Qian Shang had changed his backer.

This time, Zhao Wu and Jia Ju were unhappy.

Zhao Wu was unhappy because someone had stolen his prey. It was not easy for him to find an opportunity to take a shop under his banner.

Now he had been robbed? And why did that name sound familiar?

“This person… is actually him!?”

When he learned that the one who had destroyed his plans was Zhou Feng, Zhao Wu was instantly stunned.

He had never expected that a kid who had crawled out of a Gu Refinement Cave could grow to such a level.

He even stole a shop he had set his eyes?

Had those starving ghosts of Bitter Bamboo Peak not made a move?

“You’re courting death! The martial arts competition will be held in a few days! I want to see just what this Zhou Feng is capable of!”

Zhao Wu hated the fellow who had consecutively destroyed his plans to the bone. Zhou Feng had stolen Zhao Jun’s storage bag and even killed Xiong Dan, depriving Zhao Wu of one of his subordinates.

In addition to this, he stood in his way for the third time.

Not even a person with a good temper could stomach this.

Therefore, Zhao Wu planned to teach Zhou Feng a good lesson at the martial arts competition a few days later.

Moreover, a few days later, he, Zhao Wu, would officially become famous.

Other than Zhao Wu, Jia Ju was also furious at this time. Although he was injured, he wasn’t easy to bully.

A Qi Gathering brat actually dared to snatch his protection fee?

He would wait until the martial arts competition to see just how capable Zhou Feng was.

Zhou Feng was now the target of two people!
