Chapter 104 - The People from the Sect

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When facing Leng Maner’s gaze from above, Zhou Feng did not lower his head. He chose to look at her normally.

Leng Maner’s eyes revealed a faint hint of coldness.

A wave of power surged toward Zhou Feng’s body like a huge wave.

After a moment of silence, Leng Maner opened her mouth and sent an invitation to Zhou Feng. “Are you interested in joining my Ice Spirit faction?”

‘Ice Spirit faction?’

Zhou Feng did not react in time as he did not expect Leng Maner to extend an invitation to him.

Wasn’t the Ice Spirit faction the Sect Leader’s faction?

It was said that the Sect Leader’s faction would never rope in disciples from the other two factions.

This was different from the other two factions, which always roped in their disciples.

Whether one had a Bloodthirsty Gu or a Penta-Poison Gu, it did not affect whether they would join the Bloodthirsty or the Penta-Poison faction.

This was what Zhou Feng had found out during that period.

On the other hand, the Sect Leader’s faction had always insisted on absorbing disciples with Ice Spirit Gu in their bodies, so they had the fewest people.

“If you can become a Pill Master, we can make an exception and let you enter my Ice Spirit Gu faction!” Leng Maner added with a cold expression.

‘Pill Master? So that’s it! It’s because of the identity of a Pill Master!?’

Zhou Feng instantly understood. As expected, the identity of a Pill Master was very popular.

“The things inside all belong to you! It can also be considered an investment for you! I will explain to the sect! But you must hand over the pill refinement inheritance to the sect!” Leng Maner casually said a few words and then left.

‘Left? Just like that?’ Zhou Feng had never expected that it would end up like this.

What should he do next?

Without Pill Master Yuan, was there any meaning to the Medicine Tower? And the things in the Medicine Tower, could he take them as he pleased?

What happened tonight was really a little baffling.

They had a fight for no reason, and it ended in a baffling manner.

Zhou Feng stood rooted to the ground for a while but didn’t overanalyze the situation.

‘Forget it! Forget it! I don’t want to think too much about it!’

He ran directly to Pill Master Yuan’s side and found that he had long lost his breath.

At the same time, a bone-deep chill was slowly emitted from him.

Zhou Feng smashed the ice cubes into pieces and began to collect them.

However, he didn’t go into the Medicine Tower. He only took the storage ring on Pill Master Yuan’s body and then left in a hurry.

Since Leng Maner had said she would report it to the sect, someone would come to deal with the aftermath later.

It was better for him not to stay there.

…

Zhou Feng returned to his room and slowly heaved a sigh of relief.

These events had made him anxious, and he realized that his strength was still a little lacking.

Moreover, the death of Pill Master Yuan should be a major event for the sect. After all, there were only three Pill Masters in the entire sect.

Now that there was one less, it was likely that Zhou Feng would be the scapegoat even though he wasn’t the one who killed him.

From the very beginning, Zhou Feng had always felt that there was a thorn in his back.

A sense of crisis swept through his entire body, making his mind extremely anxious.

He had to become stronger immediately! Otherwise, he might end up as a skeleton in the end.

He would first take a look at the skill panel before deciding on anything.

Zhou Feng followed this habit and took a glance at the skill panel.

‘Endurance +1!’

This was the passive activation of the Whetstone!

The battle with Pill Master Yuan just now could be considered as a qualified battle, so his endurance had increased a little.

Then there was the progress bar, which was almost empty. It should be impossible to draw a passive skill in a short period.

Zhou Feng finished checking the skill panel, so he shifted his attention to the items he had looted from Pill Master Yuan.

First was a wine gourd, which looked like a soul artifact.

There was some wine in it, and it seemed to be medicinal wine.

Then, there was the storage ring.

“What’s going on? Why isn’t there anything at all?”

After opening the storage ring, Zhou Feng was bewildered because there was almost nothing in it. There were only two jade slips and medicinal pills.

‘That’s not right! He was a Pill Master. How could he be so poor? He didn’t even have Spirit Stones?

‘That jade slip should be Pill Master Yuan’s pill refinement inheritance. There is also a technique called binding technique?’

After that, there were only a few unknown medicinal pills left.

This was completely different from what Zhou Feng had imagined.

What he didn’t know was that Pill Master Yuan had practically exhausted all his financial resources in order to refine the Longevity Pill.

He had poured all of his wealth into the Longevity Pill, and at the same time, this Longevity Pill had also affected most of Pill Master Yuan’s energy.

It had been a long time since Pill Master Yuan had used the cauldron to refine pills, and the Tri-GU higher-ups had long been dissatisfied with him.

The main reason for Leng Maner’s arrival this time was to investigate what exactly Pill Master Yuan was doing.

Roping in Zhou Feng was secondary.

A Pill Master who couldn’t refine pills was useless to the Tri-Gu Sect. Therefore, Leng Maner had been investigating Pill Master Yuan since the morning. In the end, she discovered that Pill Master Yuan seemed to be refining Longevity Pills.

Moreover, he had indirectly killed countless elite Tri-Gu disciples.

Such a crime had already seriously violated the sect’s rules.

As the daughter of the Sect Leader, Leng Maner would naturally go on a killing spree.

However, Zhou Feng had already confronted Pill Master Yuan before she went on a killing spree.

In the end, Leng Maner felt that Zhou Feng might become a Pill Master, so she invested in him. In any case, according to her investigation, Pill Master Yuan didn’t have many things on him. He probably only had the most precious pill refinement inheritance on him.

And the pill refinement inheritance wasn’t something that anyone could comprehend. Only those with astounding perception and talent in pill refinement could comprehend the pill refinement inheritance.

Leng Maner’s intention of asking Zhou Feng to hand over the pill refinement inheritance to the sect was actually to ask Zhou Feng to comprehend Pill Master Yuan’s pill refinement inheritance completely.

After that, he would carefully write down what he comprehended and then hand it over to the sect.

Moreover, as a Soul Altar cultivator, Zhou Feng also had the talent to refine pills.

It was fine if the sect didn’t know before, but now that they knew, they definitely wouldn’t let Zhou Feng off like before.

Especially now that the sect and the Voodoo Cult were engaged in an intense battle and urgently needed to replenish their talents.

It was believed that it wouldn’t be long before the sect sent people to bring Zhou Feng to the valley to be groomed.

However, Zhou Feng didn’t know about this at all.

He was a ‘free-range’ disciple, so the sect’s influence had always been very small to him. Sometimes, Zhou Feng was more like a person who wandered outside of the sect.

The sky gradually brightened up…

The sect sent a few people to the Medicine Tower early in the morning.

“What? Pill Master Yuan is dead? How is that possible?”

“Impossible! Then what should we do?”

“Yeah! What should we do? In order to get in here, I…”

“…”

A huge commotion woke up Zhou Feng..
