I Cultivate Passively

“As expected, I was naive!”

Zhou Feng’s brows were tightly knitted as he tried his best to circulate the Demon-Devouring Technique in an attempt to calm down the Spiritual Qi in his body.

Actually, he had been wondering whether he could use the Demon-Devouring Gu to forcefully break through to the Soul Altar realm in one go. Unfortunately, his physical body could not take it anymore after devouring a few people.

The idea of forcefully breaking through did not seem to work. Such a huge influx of erratic Spiritual Qi could not fuse at all.

Other than the somewhat chaotic Spiritual Qi, the Blood Qi in his entire body had also started to show signs of a backlash. His skin had turned red while his body constantly emitted large amounts of heat.

“Demon-Devouring Gu! What are you doing!? Hurry up and work! Then reverse-feed it!”

Zhou Feng could not help but start talking to the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body.

Normally, it was like a vampire, but it was playing dead now that he needed it.

This might be the only Demon-Devouring Gu that was being urged like this. After all, no one on Bitter Bamboo Peak had been as bold as Zhou Feng prior to this.

Although they did not care about the thoughts of others or the consequences, they would not dare to eat just anyone, not even their Eldest Senior Brother, Wang Ming.

This was because the lower one’s cultivation level was, the more chaotic their Spiritual Qi would be.

To absorb such low-quality Spiritual Qi into one’s body was like looking for trouble on his own. This was also why Wang Ming had not attacked Zhou Feng from the start.

Instead, he had provided all kinds of resources to raise Zhou Feng’s cultivation level and waited for him to fatten up before taking action.

The best would be to devour a 9th Level Qi Condensation cultivator, preparing to create a Soul Altar.

Since a 9th Level Qi Condensation cultivator was preparing to create a Soul Altar, it meant that the spiritual power in their body was already extremely pure.

At that time, even if there were side effects, they would not affect them that much.

Someone like Zhou Feng, who did not reject anyone, would only end up dead in the end.

Still, this was already the best method that Zhou Feng had thought of in order to quickly increase his strength. Other than Demon-Devouring Gu, there was no other faster method.

Compared to before, the Spiritual Qi in his body had doubled. Not mentioning anything else, just this amount was already larger.

The demonic avatar was also extremely solid now.

The Demon-Devouring Gu in Zhou Feng’s body seemed to have heard his words as it immediately began to absorb the chaotic Spiritual Qi.

“Not bad!”

After the Demon-Devouring Gu absorbed a large amount of chaotic Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi, Zhou Feng felt his body become much more relaxed.

He could now find a new target.

In any case, there wasn’t a single normal person on Bitter Bamboo Peak, so they should let him end them now!

Thus, Zhou Feng continued with his hunting plan.

He devoured more than a dozen Bitter Bamboo disciples in one night!

These disciples were all below the Qi Condensation realm, and the rest were basically all in the Qi Condensation realm.

Seeing that the sky was about to brighten, Zhou Feng stopped his operation. There were still two days left, which should be enough.

The sun slowly rose, and the sunlight slowly shone on Bitter Bamboo Peak.

However, this time, Bitter Bamboo Peak seemed particularly desolate.

There were no traces of the usually active people on the peak. The people who came out of their rooms felt a little strange.

‘What’s going on? Where are my nutrients? Why didn’t they come out today?’

‘What exactly happened last night?’

‘Why do I have a bad feeling…’

“…”

Countless questions surfaced in the minds of the remaining Bitter Bamboo disciples.

Still, none of them opened their mouths to ask those questions. On the contrary, they looked at each other warily.

They had no idea what had happened last night.

Perhaps they could never imagine there was such a madman among them that planned to wipe out the entire Bitter Bamboo Peak.

Other than the Eldest Senior Brother who had entered into seclusion somewhere, Zhou Feng’s plan was indeed to kill everyone.

As for the consequences? Well, he couldn’t care less.

With the arrival of a new day, the Tri-Gu Sect continued to operate as usual.

No one paid attention to Bitter Bamboo Peak because it was a place where a group of madmen lived in many sect disciples’ eyes.

There was no need to go there at all.

Bitter Bamboo Peak itself had no management staff, no deacons, or teachers. There was only a group of mad disciples who were affected by their appetites.

No one cared about that place, so the sect was unaware of what had taken place there the previous night.

But now, rumors began to spread within the inner sect about Zhou Feng’s deeds. After all, he could be considered to have ruthlessly shown his face in the previous martial arts competition.

Zhou Feng did not care about the noise in the outside world.

At present, he was fully focused on using the Demon-Devouring Technique as his Demon-Devouring Gu had started its reverse-feeding!

A stream of pure Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi started to course through his body from his heart. The pure Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi clashed with the Spiritual Qi in Zhou Feng’s body during the reverse-feeding process.

One side was extremely pure, while the other side was extremely mixed.

Both sides were his Spiritual Qi, and they started to dry up.

Naturally, Zhou Feng’s body suffered because of this power struggle.

Soon, traces of blood flowed out of his mouth and nose.

“Pu!”

He then spat out a mouthful of blood. This was the outcome of the collision between the two types of Blood Qi.

Zhou Feng never expected he would encounter such a wild situation after the Demon-Devouring Gu reverse-fed him.

The only fortunate thing was that his Self-Healing Constitution was also triggered when he was injured.

Now, his body was slowly recovering from the minor injuries.

“Old Skin was triggered as well!?”

Zhou Feng was a little confused. The injuries caused by the clash of Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi seemed to have triggered Old Skin after he recovered.

In fact, he had long thought about Old Skin’s passivity.

The description was that every time he was injured, his defense would be increased by 1 point after he recovered.

Previously, Zhou Feng’s situation had not been too good.

If he were to get injured rashly, he might lose his self-healing ability and even lose his life.

Otherwise, he would have planned to continuously injure himself to recover his injuries. By using this passive skill, his defense would continue to increase.

Unfortunately, he had forgotten about this matter because the new passive skills continued attracting his attention. He only recalled this passive skill when he felt that his body’s endurance seemed to have become a little stronger.

“It seems to have really been triggered!”

Zhou Feng tested it again.

Old Skin seemed to have really been triggered.

At that moment, it was as if he had discovered a new world. Then, a trace of madness flashed across his face.

He did not try hard to control the conflict in his body. Instead, he grabbed a handful of healing pills he had found in Senior Brother Sun’s storage bag.

Some were used to treat external and internal injuries, while others were for detoxification. Everything was available.

Zhou Feng swallowed all the pills in one go. To use an idiom, it was akin to swallowing a whole jujube in order to speed up the healing of the injury.

He had to keep Old Skin active. If he could constantly refresh the passive skill, it may solve the problem of the internal conflict. At the same time, it could make his physical body more solid.
