I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 102: Anxiety

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Pill Master Yuan saw Zhou Feng running away, he was stunned.

This was different from what he had expected!

A Pill Master personally imparting the pill refinement method was a great temptation. He believed that no ordinary cultivator could reject this temptation, even if they didn’t have the talent to refine pills.

It would be very difficult to resist this temptation.

Not to mention Zhou Feng, who had the talent to refine pills.

However, he never expected Zhou Feng to immediately run away after realizing that something was wrong. He didn’t even enter the Medicine Tower.

“This won’t do! This is the only ingredient left for the Longevity Pill!”

Pill Master Yuan would let Zhou Feng escape. This was because Zhou Feng was the last ingredient for the Longevity Pill. He was about to refine it successfully.

It turned out that Pill Master Yuan had an agenda.

Why had Zhou Feng been favored so quickly that he was allowed to use the cauldron to refine pills?

This was because from the moment he had entered the Medicine Tower, Pill Master Yuan had discovered that Zhou Feng’s perception was particularly terrifying.

This was a good seedling for pill refinement, and at the same time, it was also a good material for refining the Longevity Pill.

Longevity Pill was the pill formula that Pill Master Yuan had found from an ancient book.

The recipe for the Longevity Pill required different parts of different people to be used as ingredients. Some parts of the recipe could even be said to be extremely absurd.

For example, the recipe required the bones of a person’s hand and the eyeballs of a talented person in swordsmanship.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed strange and absurd. However, no matter what, the respected Pill Master Yuan believed it.

The reason was very simple. It was because Pill Master Yuan didn’t have much time to live.

It could even be said that Pill Master Yuan’s lifespan should have been exhausted a long time ago. He had been able to survive on his last breath entirely because of all kinds of medicinal pills.

Pill Master Yuan couldn’t even leave the Medicine Tower a few years ago, and he ordered Senior Brother Mo around to handle many things.

He had also loosened the Medicine Tower’s restrictions, allowing more Tri-Gu disciples to enter the Medicine Tower to learn the art of pill refinement. Naturally, Pill Master Yuan had done that to collect the ingredients needed to refine the Longevity Pill.

It had been so long! Could it be that the Medicine Tower really didn’t have many disciples with talent in pill refinement?

Obviously, there were, but all of these people had died.

“Even if I die. I won’t pass my pill refinement skills to others!”

These were the words of Pill Master Yuan back then.

To teach a Pill Master for the Tri-Gu Sect? How was that possible!

This was the golden goose that allowed him to settle down and accumulate wealth. Once someone else took his place, the treatment he enjoyed now would most likely cease to exist.

Because of this, the Tri-Gu Sect had lost countless lives over the years.

What’s more terrifying, however, was that no one in the Tri-Gu Sect paid any attention to the deaths of these disciples.

Compared to the intense competition between the outer and inner sect, the loss of these disciples was nothing. As long as Pill Master Yuan continued to provide medicinal pills to the sect, everything would be fine.

Unfortunately, Pill Master Yuan’s lifespan had been approaching its end in recent years, and he had been unable to complete most of the sect’s missions.

The higher-ups were already beginning to be dissatisfied. Not long ago, they even sent the experts stationed here to other places.

It was precisely because of this that Pill Master Yuan began to panic.

“Paper-cut into soldiers!”

The wizened-looking Pill Master Yuan gathered a trace of strength and took out two pieces of paper with his skinny hands.

Then, an invisible spiritual power cut the two pieces of paper into two people.

Pill Master Yuan spat out two drops of blood and dripped them on the two paper men.

Instantly, the two paper men seemed to come to life.

“Go! Catch that kid!”

The two paper men seemed to have no strength at all. They started to float out lightly as if they were flying very slowly.

Surprisingly, they ran at breakneck speed and caught up with Zhou Feng almost in an instant.

‘Are these paper men?’

Zhou Feng only felt a stream of light fly past him. Then, he saw two paper men standing in front of him.

These two paper men were crude, but there was a hint of a fatal aura on them.

That aura made Zhou Feng’s hair stand on end.

Without speaking too much, the two paper men intersected and turned into two streaks of light.

‘Danger!’

Relying on his Battle Instinct, Zhou Feng twisted his body. He dodged the attacks, but a shallow scar was left on his face.

Too fast! The speed of the two paper men was too fast!

Moreover, the ends of the paper men were sharp. The injury on Zhou Feng’s face was just a simple cut.

Had Zhou Feng not dodged, he would have probably been gutted.

“Purple Jade Bell!”

Zhou Feng did not dare to slack off at all. He immediately took out the Purple Jade Bell. This should be his strongest attack and defense.

The Purple Jade Bell vibrated slightly, emitting a deafening bell sound.

However, the strange thing was that such a loud bell sound didn’t wake anyone up.

The huge bell sound seemed to be restrained somewhere.

“Spiritual artifact? Impossible!”

Pill Master Yuan, who was in the Medicine Tower, took a deep breath and revealed a surprised expression.

He found through his perception that Zhou Feng seemed to have a spiritual artifact in his hand.

If this was true, then he would be in trouble!

This meant that he wouldn’t be able to take down Zhou Feng in a short period, and the restrictive spell wouldn’t last forever.

If he were to be exposed, then the matter of him refining the Longevity Pill would definitely be exposed.

He couldn’t drag this on any longer!

He had to end this battle as soon as possible.

At that moment, Pill Master Yuan intended to take action personally.

A gourd slowly rose, and with it in hand, Pill Master Yuan gulped down a mouthful of wine.

Instantly, the originally withered Pill Master Yuan seemed to have been inflated, and he transformed into a muscular old man.

Afterward, Pill Master Yuan and the two paper figures shifted their figures.

Pill Master Yuan suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Feng and roared, “Die!”

For a moment, it was as if a heavenly fire had descended. The scarlet pill fire pounced toward Zhou Feng.

“Purple Jade Bell!”

Zhou Feng’s pupils constricted slightly when he saw Pill Master Yuan suddenly appear. His reaction was also swift, activating the Purple Jade Bell to defend himself.

Then, the Demon-Devouring Armor appeared outside of Zhou Feng’s body.

That wasn’t all!

While Zhou Feng activated the Purple Jade Bell, he secretly released the Carefree Powder in the surroundings.

Moreover, it was the Carefree Powder that had been upgraded several times.

The pill fire that looked terrifying was blocked by the purple curtain that rose from the Purple Jade Bell.

‘It’s not a spiritual artifact!? But it’s still a half-spiritual artifact!”

At that moment, Pill Master Yuan recognized that the Purple Jade Bell wasn’t a spiritual artifact but a half-spiritual artifact.

However, even a half-spiritual artifact was enough to make him restless.

This was a half-spiritual artifact with astonishing defense. Given his skills, he really couldn’t do anything to Zhou Feng in a short time.

After all, Pill Master Yuan’s main job was to refine pills, not fight.

The pill fire just now was already his most powerful attack.

Also, because he was too impatient, Pill Master Yuan accidentally inhaled the Carefree Powder floating in the air.

What would happen to an old man who didn’t have much lifespan and whose body was extremely weak after consuming the aphrodisiac?

“I…”

Dark red blood spurted out of Pill Master Yuan’s nose.
