I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 98 - The Panicking Han Clan

Chapter 98: The Panicking Han Clan

The cauldron’s fire was continuously infused with spiritual power.

After throwing in the medicinal ingredients to extract the essence of the medicinal properties, Zhou Feng continuously struck out various fire control seals, firmly controlling the cauldron’s spirit fire.

Zhou Feng’s perceptive ability was outstanding, so the entire process was smooth.

Most importantly, he did not have the cowardice of a novice Apprentice Pill Master.

Under normal circumstances, many people would always be timid in the first few rounds of pill refinement. After all, pill refinement was notoriously difficult. Once this batch of pills was ruined, it was likely that they would only be able to try again after a very long time.

Those medicinal ingredients were very expensive.

Therefore, this caused many apprentices to feel a psychological burden. They did not have confidence in pill refinement.

The success rate of refining pills was low to begin with, so this nervousness naturally caused everything to go wrong.

However, Zhou Feng didn’t have any burden at all. Since refining pills was so difficult, he would definitely waste a lot of ingredients. He would just have to test it out first.

“Did you hear that? What kind of pill is being refined today?”

“It seems to be a Bright Eyes Pill, a kind of pill that is specially used to feed spirit beasts!”

“I remember that Senior Sister has a Grade-1 Soul Altar Snow Condor. Bright Eyes Pills seem to be that Snow Condor’s daily food!”

“There’s such a relationship?”

“…”

The crowd outside started to whisper.

Leng Maner’s arrival had caused the entire Medicine Tower to boil.

As for Leng Maner, she ignored the noise and only looked at Zhou Feng, who was refining pills.

It was just as many people had guessed. Leng Maner had appeared in the Medicine Tower to see whether Zhou Feng had the potential to become a Pill Master.

The Tri-Gu Sect had been waiting for an unknown amount of time, hoping to nurture a Pill Master on their own.

Zhou Feng had only just revealed his potential. He only had the possibility of becoming an official Pill Master, and many factions wanted to rope him in.

If he really became a Pill Master, then people at the level of an Elder would definitely go down.

At present, many people were just watching and didn’t take any action.

If Zhou Feng’s performance was lackluster, then their investment would be in vain. Thus, many forces only stayed on the sidelines after receiving the news.

Only the Sect Leader’s faction personally sent people, and it was even the Sect Leader’s daughter.

It seemed that the rumors circulating in the sect these days were not fake. The Sect Leader’s Ice Spirit faction seemed to have been under a lot of pressure recently.

‘There’s something wrong with the cauldron and the medicinal herbs!’

Leng Maner’s eyes flashed with a blue light. While she was observing Zhou Feng, she also discovered some suspicious things.

The cauldron and the medicinal herbs seemed to have been handled by someone, but the handling method was extremely secretive and difficult to detect.

If it weren’t for Leng Maner’s eye technique, she wouldn’t have been able to discover it.

Although Leng Maner discovered that the medicinal ingredients and the cauldron had been tampered with, she didn’t intend to notify Zhou Feng. She just stood there quietly and watched.

‘Oh no!’

Zhou Feng’s pill refinement this time was challenging. In addition, he had a feeling that there was a thorn in his back, causing him to feel uneasy.

This directly caused him to lose control of the flame, causing a pile of medicinal ingredients to be burnt to ashes.

When Senior Brother Mo saw this, a trace of joy flashed across his face.

When Senior Brother Mo saw that Zhou Feng’s pill refinement had failed, he hurriedly seized this opportunity to guide Zhou Feng properly.

“Junior Brother! You can’t be too anxious about the pill refinement…”

Senior Brother Mo was enthusiastic about this matter, which could suppress Zhou Feng and allow him to be in the limelight in front of the goddess.

Although the Bright Eyes Pill was unranked, Senior Brother Mo was still very familiar with it.

In order to show off before Leng Maner, Senior Brother Mo told him some tricks.

“I got it! Senior Brother!”

Zhou Feng noted all the tricks Senior Brother Mo has just shared.

“Oh right! I have some medicinal herbs here. I’ll use my own to refine the medicinal herbs later!

“Also, I hope that some people will stop spying on me behind my back! Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to take action!”

Zhou Feng’s tone was calm as he reminded the two people at a moderate pace.

The first was naturally Senior Brother Mo. He had noticed that there was something wrong with those medicinal herbs earlier.

Senior Brother Mo had prepared these medicinal herbs, so it was likely that he had tampered with them.

As for the purpose, there was no need to think about it. It was nothing more than stupid reasons like jealousy and not being able to see the good in others.

The second person he warned was Leng Maner.

Leng Maner was using her eye technique to spy on him, causing Zhou Feng to feel uneasy and leading him to make a mistake when refining the pill.

“Uh…”

After Senior Brother Mo heard his words, he was completely stunned, and an awkward smile appeared on his face.

‘Has he discovered something? That’s impossible! I handled it so carefully.’

Although Senior Brother Mo thought that he hadn’t been discovered, Zhou Feng took the medicinal ingredients to refine the Bright Eyes Pill out of his storage ring.

This meant that Senior Brother Mo’s actions had been discovered.

The glimmer in Leng Maner’s eyes slowly subsided upon hearing Zhou Feng’s tone, and she didn’t say anything.

‘Looks like my few days of peace are over’ thought Zhou Feng.

He had only lived a few days of peace, but it seemed it was impossible to live such a peaceful life.

Ignoring everything else, just Leng Maner was a huge problem in Zhou Feng’s eyes.

The Sect Leader’s daughter was a stunning beauty, so she must have a lot of pursuers.

According to the laws of the fantasy world, only endless trouble would follow once he came into contact with Leng Maner.

Those so-called pursuers would find trouble with Zhou Feng to eliminate the threat in the bud, even if it was basically impossible for Leng Maner and Zhou Feng to be together.

‘But that’s good! No one is looking for trouble with me now, so it’s not easy for me to trigger Soul Harvesting!’

A few thoughts flashed through Zhou Feng’s mind before he started to refine pills again.

“Where is he! Where is he! ? Where is he!?”

“Quickly gather all the Elders! Something big has happened!”

“The clan’s treasury has been emptied?”

“…”

While Zhou Feng was slowly refining pills, the Han Clan was in chaos.

They had finally discovered Han Ming had disappeared and that the treasury had been emptied.

It must be known that the Han Clan had already withered, and they had three Soul Altar cultivators a few days ago.

Other than Han Qi and Han Ming, only the old clan leader was left.

The news of Han Qi’s death had already caused a great shock, and now Han Ming’s disappearance was already a major event.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing was that the clan’s treasury had been emptied. Or perhaps it could be said that most of the valuable things were gone, and only a few trashy things were left.

These two matters had cast a shadow over the Han Clan.

The Han Clan would probably be eliminated if this matter was not handled properly.

Many people from the Tri-Gu Sect had been eyeing the Han Clan. A clan with an ancient inheritance, no matter what, should have some foundation!

Now that the Han Clan was in decline, some people would not mind swallowing such a weak ancient clan.

If the Han Clan discovered that Han Ming had emptied the treasury overnight only to hand this big gift bag to Zhou Feng, they would probably spit blood on the spot~
