Chapter 87: Daily Cultivation

“Golden Yang Fruit… Dragon Whisker Grass…”

After Zhou Feng took care of all the medicinal herbs in front of him, he could spend the rest of his time freely.

The Medicine Tower’s environment was a little humane compared to the inner sect’s cruel environment.

There was basically no pressure here, and one only needed to complete Pill Master Yuan’s assignments. No one would care about what one did next.

Moreover, there was a small library in the Medicine Tower. There were many books on pill refinement, herbology, poisons, and so on. They contained the basic knowledge one needed to become a Pill Master.

Every apprentice in the Medicine Tower had come here to become a Pill Master. Thus, this was also the most lively place in the Medicine Tower.

Zhou Feng felt that this place was an excellent sanctuary for the Tri-Gu Sect. It was the most suitable place for those who didn’t have much talent in cultivation.

However, it was a very difficult thing to stay in the Medicine Tower forever.

This was because Pill Master Yuan would check all the apprentices every other year. He wanted to see who had the talent to become a Pill Master. If one didn’t meet the requirements for three years in a row, then they could only leave the Medicine Tower.

Listening to some old apprentices, Pill Master Yuan seemed to have been looking for a lineage disciple for more than 10 years.

He wanted to pass on his legacy.

In the end, he settled for Senior Brother Mo and reluctantly accepted him into the sect. It seemed that he wasn’t too satisfied.

Zhou Feng overheard all kinds of gossip in the library.

But whether he became a Pill Master or not didn’t matter to him. He had come here to lay low and recuperate for some time.

Naturally, it would be the best-case scenario if he could become a Pill Master. It didn’t matter if he couldn’t become one. At the very least, he would be able to learn some techniques to concoct poison.

A long time ago, Zhou Feng had wanted to learn how to concoct poison himself.

Now he finally had the chance.

Zhou Feng quickly returned to his room.

‘Let’s finish today’s daily cultivation first!’

After Zhou Feng returned to his room, he did not immediately check the jade slip that Senior Brother Mo had given him. Instead, he cultivated as per usual.

Speaking of which… his daily cultivation was still rather troublesome.

First was the cultivation of the Demon-Devouring Technique. After several consecutive explosive increases in cultivation, Zhou Feng’s control over Spiritual Qi had dropped to a disappointingly low level.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhou Feng had not even taken half a year to go from the Body Tempering realm to the Soul Altar realm.

His cultivation had almost skyrocketed, and in just a few months, he had jumped through several realms. In addition, he hadn’t received any guidance, so his foundation could be said to be extremely unstable.

Therefore, he slowly strengthened his foundation by taking advantage of this hard-earned leisure time.

After cultivating the Demon-Devouring Technique, Zhou Feng began to use the Soul Altar to nurture the Purple Jade Bell.

That’s right! After seizing the Purple Jade Bell from Han Qi, he discarded the splitting ax he had forged previously.

Han Qi’s mark on the Purple Jade Bell had been washed away as Zhou Feng baptized it with his soul power.

Now, he could finally place the Purple Jade Bell on the Soul Altar for preliminary refining. This also meant that he could use the Purple Jade Bell to fight in the future.

‘Attack and defense are one! And he was so good-looking! He was really a good person!’

Zhou Feng could not help but sigh as he looked at the crystal-clear Purple Jade Bell in his hand. It was his best trophy so far.

Zhou Feng wrapped the Purple Jade Bell with his soul power and placed it on the Soul Altar.

The aura of the soul power slowly merged into the Purple Jade Bell.

The Purple Jade Bell, which had been dim for a few days, instantly emitted a faint purple light as the soul power nourished it.

The purple light gave off a solemn and dignified feeling as numerous spirit patterns slowly appeared.

‘Eh? This is…’

Zhou Feng realized that something was wrong.

The Purple Jade Bell seemed to be in a state of metamorphosis!?

When he was holding it in his hand earlier, he hadn’t noticed it yet.

But when he placed it on the Soul Altar, he felt that the Purple Jade Bell seemed to be nurturing a spirit.

This spirit was continuously asking him for his soul power and Spiritual Qi!

Zhou Feng could be said to be familiar with this vague call.

The Demon-Devouring Gu in his body gave the same call, like a child who wanted to drink milk.

Zhou Feng did not know that this Purple Jade Bell had already broken through the limits of ordinary soul artifacts.

Next, he only needed to continuously provide soul power and Spiritual Qi to transform the Purple Jade Bell.

And this was also the hard work of more than ten generations of the Han Clan.

Unfortunately, the efforts of the Han ancestors all benefited Zhou Feng now. He had plucked the ripe fruit at the last stage of the transformation.

‘Isn’t it just soul power and Spiritual Qi? I have plenty!’

Zhou Feng was not stingy with his Spiritual Qi. Thanks to the Demon-Devouring Gu and the Level-2 Gluttony, the Spiritual Qi in his body was like a sea.

Although it was not that pure, he had plenty of reserves.

The torrent of Spiritual Qi continued to pour into the Soul Altar, and along with the divine soul’s power, it continuously refined the Purple Jade Bell.

The large amount of Spiritual Qi caused the Purple Jade Bell’s spirit patterns to become clearer.

Zhou Feng could feel that he had a trace of connection with the Purple Jade Bell. This could be considered the initial refinement success.

Almost done!

After the initial refinement of the Purple Jade Bell was completed, Zhou Feng also stopped.

He didn’t have enough soul power, and he still had to refine his Vital Gu.

The Demon-Devouring Gu in his body had gone through several Vital Gu refinements, so it was no longer willful. It had even begun to cultivate together with him.

Every time Zhou Feng cultivated, the Demon-Devouring Gu would absorb Spiritual Qi.

It would absorb Zhou Feng’s Spiritual Qi and reverse-feed pure Spiritual Qi.

Zhou Feng had already begun to enjoy the benefits of cultivating the Tri-Gu techniques.

Even if Zhou Feng’s aptitude was not good, he was still much more powerful than ordinary people, thanks to the Demon-Devouring Gu’s assistance. Thus, he had to continue cultivating this Vital Gu refinement method and could not slack off.

“Then, the Demon-Devouring Technique!”

After using up the last bit of his soul power, Zhou Feng began to ponder over Bitter Bamboo Peak’s inheritance dao art.

Demon-Devouring Technique!

This was Old Demon Gu’s fundamental technique, but the side effects were horrifying.

If he was not careful, it would be very easy for his personality to split. It was challenging to reach the realm of Old Demon Gu’s ever-changing personalities.

Even so, Zhou Feng had no choice but to cultivate.

Firstly, he only had the Demon-Devouring Technique.

Secondly, he had two Demon-Devouring Seals on him. This was equivalent to two time bombs. If he wanted to remove the Demon-Devouring Seals, he needed to understand the Demon-Devouring Seal.

“Demon-Devouring Seal!”

Zhou Feng formed a strange seal with both hands, and the Spiritual Qi in his body instantly transformed into Demonic Qi.

The Demonic Qi formed a strange seal again!

However, the seal only lasted for a few seconds before dissipating.

Obviously, he failed again!

This Demon-Devouring Seal was really too difficult to cultivate, or it could be said that his aptitude in this aspect was not good.
