I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 92 - The Odd Passive Skill

Chapter 92: The Odd Passive Skill

A new Pill Master was enough to change many things, especially since the Tri-Gu Sect was currently in an internal conflict. If a Pill Master joined one of the factions, it would likely be the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Therefore, many people in the Medicine Tower began to spread the news.

Among them, the one who was the happiest was probably Pill Master Yuan.

“Good! Good! Good!”

When Pill Master Yuan learned that Zhou Feng had succeeded in his first pill refinement, he immediately shouted “Good” three times.

‘This smell… As expected, this old fellow is about to die. That’s why he’s in a hurry to find a successor!’

Next to him, Senior Brother Mo could smell a medicinal fragrance, which was concealing a rotten smell. This smell was like the smell of a rotting corpse.

Even though the thick medicinal fragrance was covering it, it could still be discerned.

This should be the smell of a corpse!

Given Pill Master Yuan’s usual behavior and this smell, Senior Brother Mo speculated that this old fellow would not live much longer. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a hurry to find a legacy disciple.

‘I’m afraid taking me in as a disciple was only the last resort! If it weren’t for that Zhou Feng, I would be the one to obtain the inheritance in the end!’

Senior Brother Mo lowered his head. When he thought of Zhou Feng, a trace of jealousy appeared on his face.

He was very clear that his aptitude wasn’t good. It was simply a world of difference compared to Zhou Feng, who had succeeded in his first pill refinement.

However, he could already be considered the one with the best aptitude in the Medicine Tower. If Zhou Feng hadn’t appeared, then his Master would have passed down his inheritance to him,

Senior Brother Mo had a good understanding of this old fellow.

Pill Master Yuan wasn’t from Southern Border but had come from another place. It was said that he had fled from the Central Plains and had a soul cauldron on him, as well as a complete pill refinement inheritance.

In addition, Pill Master Yuan had been in the Tri-Gu Sect for over 100 years.

If Senior Brother Mo was able to obtain his inheritance…

‘If I had these resources, I might be able to forge a Grade-1 Soul Altar and peer into the Purple Mansion realm!’

Senior Brother Mo believed that all of Pill Master Yuan’s inheritance should belong to him and that Zhou Feng was someone who had come to pluck peaches. This was something that he absolutely wouldn’t allow.

Traces of killing intent began to condense in Senior Brother Mo’s heart.

“Tomorrow! Get Zhou Feng to continue refining pills! Increase the difficulty a bit this time!”

After Pill Master Yuan’s initial excitement, his face flushed while his tone became weak. It seemed that he was really beyond cure.

“Yes!”

Senior Brother Mo’s head was lowered the entire time, or else he would have revealed a trace of emotion.

…

While Senior Brother Mo was reporting to Pill Master Yuan, Zhou Feng returned to his room.

‘It seems that it’s impossible for me to go fishing today!’

He didn’t expect to cause such a big commotion just because he had successfully refined a batch of pills.

Now, everyone in the Medicine Tower wanted to talk to him.

Some people even tried to rope him in, saying who was behind them.

This caused him to lose his original intention of going fishing.

Ever since he had caught a spirit fish, Zhou Feng had developed a habit of going to the stream every afternoon to fish. He wanted to see if he could catch another spirit fish.

Unfortunately, his luck only worked the first time. After that, he had not caught anything good, only some small fish.

‘I have nothing to do! Then I’ll speed up the skill panel’s progress bar!’

After finishing his daily cultivation, Zhou Feng glanced at the progress bar on the skill panel.

At this time, the progress bar was semi-full. As long as he waited for some time, he should be able to draw a new passive skill.

However, he did not want to wait too long. He planned to use Spirit Stones to speed up the progress bar.

Coincidentally, he had obtained quite several Spirit Stones from the Medicine Tower. Also, he had obtained a large number of Spirit Stones from Han Qi. At present, he could be considered wealthy.

He could use it up.

Zhou Feng took out the Spirit Stones and circulated the Demon-Devouring Technique to absorb the pure Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Stones.

It was worth mentioning that as Zhou Feng’s Demon-Devouring Technique improved day by day, the Spiritual Qi in his body was undergoing a transformation.

Spiritual Qi transformed into Demonic Qi! This was the sign that one cultivated the Demon-Devouring Technique successfully.

Originally, it was a tough task for him to transform all the Spiritual Qi in his body into Demonic Qi.

This was because Demonic Qi could be said to be the combination of Spiritual Qi and soul power. At the same time, it also needed the Demon-Devouring Gu’s assistance.

It was time-consuming to refine a strand of Demonic Qi.

Nonetheless, if Demonic Qi were used to activate Demon-Devouring Battle Art, its power would be several times stronger.

Therefore, turning Spiritual Qi into Demonic Qi was the most important task for the practitioner of the Demon-Devouring Technique.

“Demon-Devouring Gu! Come out to work!”

Zhou Feng absorbed Spiritual Qi while the Demon-Devouring Gu assisted him.

After receiving Zhou Feng’s command, the Demon Devouring Gu began to absorb Spiritual Qi.

The progress bar on the skill panel began to increase along with this process.

The rate of increase was not fast, but it was not too slow either. One could feel that the progress bar was increasing bit by bit.

It was just that the price was a little high. Many Spirit Stones had turned into mere stones in just a short while.

This was the reason Zhou Feng usually did not use Spirit Stones to speed up the progress bar. It consumed too many Spirit Stones, and Spirit Stones were precious resources that could be exchanged for many things.

“It’s finally full!”

After consuming more than half of his Spirit Stones, Zhou Feng breathed a sigh of relief. The progress bar on the skill panel was finally full. He could draw a new passive skill now.

“Draw!”

Zhou Feng’s heart didn’t waver at all.

In the beginning, he might still have a trace of anticipation.

But that trace of anticipation was gone after giving this command so many times. Anyway, he could draw again after some time.

“Drawing…”

“Drawing successful!”

Amorous Prodigal Heart: Your Charm +1! And every time you experience a relationship, your Charm will increase by 1 point! (Max: 10 points)!

“Wait, what… What is this!?”

When Zhou Feng saw this passive skill, a few black lines appeared on his forehead.

This passive skill was too ridiculous!

‘Every time you experience a relationship? I…’

At that moment, he didn’t know what to say. This skill seemed to be utterly useless!

Given Zhou Feng’s predicament, it was impossible to fall in love or anything.

And what was the use of this charm? Could it be that it made him even more handsome?

“Forget it! Forget it! It’s impossible for every passive skill to be useful. Moreover, adding a little charm isn’t considered a loss! Anyway, it’s not all for nothing!”

Zhou Feng shook his head. Drawing this passive skill couldn’t be considered a loss, right!

It could be said that he didn’t gain much, but it wasn’t a loss.
