Chapter 100 - Successful Breakthrough



Chapter 100: Successful Breakthrough

Zhou Feng didn’t have any expression on his face, but he was muttering in his heart, ‘At night? Pill Master Yuan wants to teach me pill refinement techniques personally?’

Why was this so strange? How long had it been? Pill Master Yuan was eager to teach him pill refinement techniques?

Were pill refinement techniques so cheap these days!?

“That’s right! Remember not to waste any time!”

Senior Brother Mo no longer acted friendly and revealed his true face.

After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.

Zhou Feng watched Senior Brother Mo leave, and his brows slowly furrowed.

This matter was too strange. It seemed like he had just arrived at the Medicine Tower not too long ago!

He hadn’t even met Pill Master Yuan more than once, yet he was suddenly valued and bestowed the opportunity to learn pill refinement techniques?

Also, why was it necessary to impart the secret of pill refinement at night? Couldn’t he impart it during the day? And he had to hide it from others so that they wouldn’t discover it?

Other than that, what made Zhou Feng even more puzzled was that Senior Brother Mo seemed to have a gloomy and cold aura circling around him.

This gloomy and cold aura kept devouring Senior Brother Mo’s vitality.

Senior Brother Mo didn’t seem to notice that his complexion was getting worse and worse.

‘Trouble!’

Most importantly, Zhou Feng’s eyelids were constantly twitching as if warning him.

This Pill Master Yuan was probably a Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator, one step away from the Purple Mansion realm.

Moreover, it was said that Pill Master Yuan’s lifespan was approaching its end. Thus, he had relaxed the qualifications of the Tri-Gu disciples to enter the Medicine Tower during the past ten years.

Zhou Feng could enter the Medicine Tower with Old Demon Gu’s token because of this.

Actually, the main reason was also because of this. If it had been a few decades ago, he wouldn’t have had the chance to enter the Medicine Tower at all.

Based on the information he had gathered, this Pill Master Yuan seemed like a ghost!

Perhaps ordinary people would be so excited to hear that a Pill Master would personally teach them the secret of pill refinement at night.

They would discard their suspicions, but Zhou Feng was different.

After experiencing Han Ming’s night attack, he always felt that someone wanted to harm him.

Even when he had just met Leng Maner, Zhou Feng also suspected that she was plotting against him behind his back.

‘Looks like I have to prepare!’

Zhou Feng pondered for a moment before slowly taking out the things in his storage ring.

He planned to forge his Grade-8 Soul Altar forcefully. He had already reached the bottleneck.

Zhou Feng was only one step away from the Grade-8 Soul Altar realm. By relying on the Level-2 Gluttony and forcefully devouring all kinds of spiritual items, he should be able to break through to the Grade-8 Soul Altar realm forcefully.

Purple Jade Vine, Dragonfly Grass, Nine Yang Flower…

These were the ingredients used to refine the Spirit Concentration Pill, which could increase a Soul Altar cultivator’s power level. The difficulty of refining it was extremely high. After consuming it, one would be able to increase a trace of the divine soul.

If frequently consumed, it would also have the effect of stabilizing one’s Soul Altar.

Unfortunately, Zhou Feng only knew that these materials were used to refine the Spirit Concentration Pill. He didn’t have its pill formula, nor did he have the ability to refine it.

However, these ingredients more or less had the effect of increasing the strength of one’s divine soul.

Directly eating them raw more or less had some effect, but this method would waste a lot of medicinal properties compared to refining pills.

Still, it didn’t matter. Zhou Feng had the passive Level-2 Gluttony, after all.

“In any case, I got them for free! Don’t feel bad!” Zhou Feng comforted himself before swallowing these medicinal herbs.

Why should he have to wait for a long time for the things he picked up for free to be buried with him when he died?

He swallowed these medicinal herbs in a few mouthfuls with this thought in mind.

Zhou Feng didn’t stop there. He took out numerous Spirit Stones and continuously absorbed the Spiritual Qi within them.

He ate the medicinal herbs recklessly and simultaneously crazily absorbed the Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Stones.

They would definitely explode and die if it were anyone else because these herbs’ medicinal energy was too potent.

Normally, only demonic beasts would eat the medicinal herbs raw because their bodies were strong enough.

If humans did this, it would be no different than courting death. Not to mention, it would be too much of a waste of natural resources. If others saw Zhou Feng’s actions, they would probably show a pained expression.

You are too wasteful!

Unfortunately, Zhou Feng did not care. He relied on his Level-2 Gluttony and Demon-Devouring Gu to forcefully devour everything.

Not long after, Zhou Feng’s entire body started to heat up. His body was like a basin of water poured into a pot of oil—it started to boil.

The chaotic Spiritual Qi started to run wild while his Soul Altar was getting a bit of nourishment.

The Demon-Devouring Gu devoured the heterogenous Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi, trying to transform them into purer Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi for Zhou Feng.

“This method is indeed suitable for me!”

Feeling the bottleneck loosening bit by bit, Zhou Feng could not help but sigh.

Compared to the slow improvement, this simple and crude method was more suitable for him.

Although this would cause a lot of hidden dangers, these matters could be discussed later!

He had followed the development before the governance model. Otherwise, given his talent, how long would it take for him to break through to a higher realm?

After an unknown period, Zhou Feng’s Soul Altar began to shine brightly.

The transformation had begun!

The Soul Altar space began to expand, followed by a strange scene of scarlet skies and thunderclouds.

‘A strange phenomenon?’

The strange phenomenon had already disappeared before Zhou Feng could see it clearly.

‘Breakthrough successful! Grade-8 Soul Altar!’

Zhou Feng kicked open the door of the Grade-8 Soul Altar in an extremely violent fashion.

Following the transformation of the Soul Altar this time, the Purple Jade Bell that had been resting in the Soul Altar seemed to have undergone some small changes.

A circle of strange inscriptions was branded on the Purple Jade Bell.

‘It’s done?’

Zhou Feng slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of red light instantly shot out.

In an instant, he felt that his entire body had become much lighter, and an obscure aura spread out.

Breaking through to success did not take much time, but the price for doing so was that his body had become a mess again.

The originally purer Spiritual Qi became heterogenous again, and the different attributes began to clash with each other again.

Zhou Feng took a look inside and found that all kinds of injuries were densely packed together. Every slight movement of his would affect the injuries all over his body.

The only advantage was that the Demon-Devouring Technique’s effect had increased, and most of the Spiritual Qi in his body had been converted into Demonic Qi.

‘It’s not bad!’

He had long been used to being injured. In any case, he had the passive Self-Healing Constitution and Unyielding Heart. It wouldn’t take long for his injuries to recover, and he could also take advantage of the situation to trigger Old Skin.

Also, if he guessed correctly, he could draw the passive skill again!

According to his past experiences, his progress bar would almost always be full every time he broke through to the next realm, and then he could draw a passive skill.

Sure enough, Zhou Feng took a glance at the skill panel, and the progress bar was already full.

“I hope I can draw a good passive this time! Don’t come up with anything that adds charm!”

After all, the previous passive skill rendered him speechless to this day.

“Draw!”

“Drawing…”

Soon, a new passive skill was drawn.

“This is… good!”

Zhou Feng’s eyes widened slightly. This new passive skill seemed to be powerful!
