I Cultivate Passively

“Drawing…”

Night Guardian (Level 1): If you are in the dark, you will receive the protection of the darkness. Your aura and traces will be hidden, and your sense of existence will be reduced.

It will be difficult for the enemy to detect your figure.

“Night Guardian?”

Zhou Feng read this new passive skill’s introduction and raised his eyebrows slightly.

This passive skill seemed to be quite good, and it was just right for his hunting plan.

Night Guardian skill was a very simple skill. It would be equivalent to obtaining a concealment buff as long as it was nighttime.

If others wanted to discover his tracks, it would become even more difficult.

The simple explanation was that it reduced his sense of presence. If he was cautious enough, it was very likely that he would not be noticed.

This seemed to be a perfect match with the passive skill he had previously drawn, Natural affinity. This passive skill could allow him to easily gain the good impression of flowers, birds, insects, and beasts. At the same time, it would allow him to blend into the surrounding environment when in the wild.

Now, wouldn’t it be challenging for anyone to discover him in the wild at night with the combo of Night Guardian and Natural Affinity!?

This combo was not only a god-tier means of sneak attacking at night but also a life-saving trump card.

If he were to dive into a ravine at night when being pursued, it would be very difficult for anyone to find him.

“Very good! Then let’s go to Senior Brother Sun’s residence to take a look first!”

Zhou Feng’s confidence increased a little upon gaining a new passive ability.

Now, he planned to go to Senior Brother Sun’s residence to take a look first.

After saying that, Zhou Feng stored all his things.

But then again, as he had more and more things, the storage bag he had gotten from Zhao Jun seemed to be a little too small now.

Should he consider changing to another storage bag?

No matter what, he had a lot of Spirit Stones now, so it shouldn’t be difficult to change to a slightly bigger storage bag!

…

After a while, Zhou Feng snuck into Senior Brother Sun’s residence under the cover of night.

There was basically no one walking around Bitter Bamboo Peak at night. In addition, Zhou Feng had the passive protection of the night, so no one noticed him.

He carefully walked into the room, and the moment he entered, a rotten stench assaulted him. The unpleasant smell made Zhou Feng hold his breath.

Then, he saw a row of heads under the bed and a head on the bed.

Moreover, there was a red robe under the head on the bed. It seemed to be… a wedding dress?

The interior of the room was very messy, and it seemed that no one had been organizing it.

“That is…”

His sharp eyes noticed a storage bag on the bed. The outer surface of the storage bag was actually embroidered with gold thread, and it looked very different.

Zhou Feng carefully picked up the storage bag and rummaged through the things inside.

“This is indeed Senior Brother Sun’s storage bag!”

There were quite a lot of Spirit Stones in the storage bag, about 20 of them, women’s clothes, some books, and a few pills.

The storage bag was also quite big, about twice as big as his storage bag.

“This is… the complete collection of poisons? The Bewitching Incense? And…”

There were some books on concocting poison in the storage bag to his surprise. There were even some methods of making pills.

The Bewitching Incense Senior Brother Sun had used for his sneak attack was also recorded in the book.

To be honest, Zhou Feng had always wanted to learn how to make poisons. After all, poisons were the most direct and effective way to kill people.

However, there were no teaching manuals, so he couldn’t learn.

Now, he finally obtained the teaching manual.

Apart from that, there was also a ‘Turtle Breathing Art’ in these books.

This Turtle Breathing Art seemed to be a mystical technique that could hide one’s cultivation.

However, it required a special kind of medicinal pill to aid his cultivation. Presumably, Senior Brother Sun had been able to hide his cultivation because of this Turtle Breathing Art.

Zhou Feng wanted to learn this kind of strange technique.

Unfortunately, this kind of medicinal pill called the Turtle Breath Pill was needed to aid his cultivation. He could not cultivate it at all without this kind of medicinal pill.

Therefore, he could only put it away first.

It could be said that just these books alone were worth his trip.

After putting the storage bag away, Zhou Feng swept his gaze across the room once more. When he realized that there was nothing else, he did not have the intention to continue staying.

He had already wasted a lot of time and could not continue doing so. Otherwise, his plan would not come to fruition.

Ever since Zhou Feng had accepted the sect mission, he had changed his previous hunting plan. He wanted to clear out the people on Bitter Bamboo Peak during these three days.

Since he needed to increase his strength as soon as possible, what was the fastest way to accomplish that?

Naturally, it was the Demon-Devouring Gu. It could not only devour large amounts of Blood Qi and Spiritual Qi, but it could also speed up the progress of the skill panel and draw out more passive skills.

Therefore, Zhou Feng planned to start at the foot of Bitter Bamboo Peak.

As long as it was below the Qi Condensation realm, he would kill them all and turn them into nourishment for him.

Zhou Feng looked at the dark night sky and muttered in his heart, “Anyway, you are all affected by your appetite! Let me help you get rid of it!”

The slaughterfest would commence tonight!

The first victim was a Senior Brother. This Senior Brother’s cultivation was not too bad. He was at the 9th Level of Qi Gathering realm, a step away from the Qi Induction realm.

However, this Senior Brother appeared to be too weak compared to the current Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng quietly made his way outside this Senior Brother’s room under the darkness’s protection.

“Demon-Devouring Battle Art!”

A demonic avatar appeared, and more than ten tentacles suddenly burst open the door.

Even though this Senior Brother was already vigilant enough, a tentacle pierced through his heart before he could react.

“The first one!”

Zhou Feng dug out the poor man’s Demon-Devouring Gu and put it into his mouth with a calm expression.

The Demon-Devouring Gu in his body instantly became agitated and started to devour and disintegrate.

His Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi became more abundant and also more mixed.

The demonic avatar condensed by the Demon-Devouring Technique also became more solid.

‘Success!’ He simply collected it and moved to the next one.

The second one…

The third one…

Finally, an accident happened when he visited the fourth target. He was not sleeping but cultivating. Thus, he let out a scream during the hunting process.

“No!”

This miserable scream was extremely ear-piercing on the silent Bitter Bamboo Peak.

However, no one walked out of their rooms.

After a while, Bitter Bamboo Peak regained its silence again.

Swallowing four people in a row made Zhou Feng feel a little bloated. It was also challenging to use the Demon-Devouring Arts continuously. The Spiritual Qi that was increased by forcefully swallowing the Demon-Devouring Gu was like a mixed army, extremely chaotic.

Zhou Feng’s meridians were also slightly damaged by the chaotic Spiritual Qi. Since it came from different people, the different types started to clash against each other in his body.

What’s more, it was the first time that the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body felt a little bloated and stopped absorbing on its own accord.

Zhou Feng himself was feeling extremely uncomfortable as well. After all, he had swallowed so many Demon-Devouring Gus in one night.

Even if the Demon-Devouring Gu was magical, it still had a limit.
