I Cultivate Passively

Fisherman: Your fishing rate will increase by 50%, and you will have a very small chance of catching a treasure.

Note: The treasure can be spiritual artifacts, pills, cultivation techniques, or even opportunities!

After Zhou Feng saw this new passive skill, he did not know what to say.

Fisherman? Was it asking him to go fishing?

Since this passive skill’s trigger condition was fishing, it would be of no use if he did not go fishing.

‘This passive benefit…’

It was really difficult for him to determine this skill’s benefit.

First of all, the rate of catching something increased by 50%. Would this effect be useful?

This was because there were many kinds of special fish in this world. For example, some spirit fish could have various effects after being consumed. Or some demonic fish had extrare organs that could be used to forge weapons and refine pills.

If he could catch these fish with this passive skill, it would not be a loss. It could even be said to be very powerful.

The problem was… where exactly could he find these fish?

At least, this passive Fisherman should be useless in the Tri-Gu Sect.

Then, there was a small probability of catching a treasure.

This was also entirely dependent on fate. Who knew when it could be triggered…

‘It’s not useful for the time being…’

Zhou Feng concluded that this new passive skill was of no use to his current situation.

He could only say that the future was within reach!

Still, as the same old saying went, “It’s better to have something than nothing.”

Zhou Feng calmed down and prepared to take advantage of the night to slowly leave Bitter Bamboo Peak. It was safer for him to move at night as he had the passive Night Guardian. It was basically difficult for ordinary people to find him.

At Penta-Poison Peak…

Han Ming noticed that the people he had sent out had returned and immediately asked, “How is it? Have you contacted him? Is that person willing to exchange the Purple Jade Bell?”

Han Ming had already decided that no matter what price he had to pay, he had to get the Purple Jade Bell back first. As for whether or not he would seek revenge for Han Qi, that could only be said after he obtained the Purple Jade Bell.

“This… Nothing! We don’t dare to go up Bitter Bamboo Peak either!”

“Also, we found traces of Young Master Han Qi’s battle at a location outside Bitter Bamboo Peak!”

“It seems like the Heaven-Sealing Formation was used at the scene!”

“…”

The Han clansmen reported the situation to Han Ming truthfully.

They had previously tried to contact Zhou Feng to see if they could resolve this matter through communication.

Although this sounded a little embarrassing, losing a little bit of face was nothing compared to a spiritual artifact.

Unfortunately, Zhou Feng deliberately avoided the limelight, so these clansmen couldn’t find him at all.

As for asking them to go to Bitter Bamboo Peak to look for him? They didn’t dare as the Grand Elder was currently at Bitter Bamboo Peak.

Forget going on normal days when the Grand Elder was not at Bitter Bamboo Peak. Now that the Grand Elder was there? Wasn’t that akin to seeking death?

Then these people found traces of Zhou Feng and Han Qi’s battle.

“Heaven-Sealing Formation? Someone used the Heaven-Sealing Formation!? Did Zhou Feng plan this?”

When Han Ming heard there were traces of the Heaven-Sealing Formation at the scene, he instantly suspected that Zhou Feng had been plotting against the Han Clan’s Purple Jade Bell from the very start.

Perhaps the Grand Elder was behind it. If that were the case, then it would be troublesome.

‘Is the secret going to be exposed?’

Han Ming felt that it was a troublesome issue. He was afraid that their secret would be exposed. After all, only a few people knew that the Purple Jade Bell could transform into a spiritual artifact.

Only three people in the entire Han Clan knew of this. If this matter was exposed, then the consequences…

First, the sect would find an excuse to take the Purple Jade Bell. One spiritual artifact was enough to make the Elders take action.

‘The sect shouldn’t know about the Purple Jade Bell! Even that Zhou Feng shouldn’t know!

‘The Purple Jade Bell has a special spirit pattern on it. Even the Grand Elder might not be able to see through the Purple Jade Bell’s secret!

“Moreover, our clan has been passing down the Purple Jade Bell for so many generations without being exposed! Others definitely don’t know the actual situation!’

Han Ming mumbled in his mind and analyzed the current situation.

The secret of the Purple Jade Bell shouldn’t have been exposed yet, but he had to get it back as soon as possible to be safe.

Moreover, they could not afford to seem desperate. If the Han Clan used all their assets to exchange for the Purple Jade Bell, everyone would know that it had a secret.

Therefore, he had to think of a proper way.

“That’s not right! What we need most now is to find Zhou Feng! If we can’t even find him, then what’s the point of talking?”

Han Ming could only continue to send more people to look for traces of Zhou Feng.

Three days later…

Just as Han Ming’s people were looking for Zhou Feng everywhere, he had already become an apprentice of the Medicine Tower.

Relying on Old Demon Gu’s token, he smoothly became an apprentice of the Medicine Tower.

Han Ming probably never would have thought that Zhou Feng would actually become an apprentice there.

The Sect Leader had personally established the Medicine Tower. No matter how powerful the Han Clan was, they wouldn’t dare to probe for information regarding the Medicine Tower.

Not to mention that the Han Clan had already declined beyond recognition.

Senior Brother Mo handed a jade slip to Zhou Feng and then praised. “Dispose of all these medicinal herbs! And this is the reward given by Pill Master Yuan! You’re pretty good!”

This attracted the envious gazes of the other apprentices.

They hadn’t received such treatment before, after all. This person had only been in the Medicine Tower for three days, yet he was able to gain Pill Master Yuan’s appreciation?

“He’s really lucky! Isn’t it just better to deal with the medicinal herbs?”

“That’s right! I heard that Zhou Feng came in through the back door this time!”

“Look at that deadpan face. Who’s he trying to fool with his deadpan face?”

“…”

Although many apprentices were discussing in low voices, Zhou Feng was still able to hear these discussions.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Mo!”

Zhou Feng received the jade slip without any expression on his face.

As for the crowd’s discussions, he didn’t take them to heart at all.

To be honest, Zhou Feng himself didn’t think that he would be talented in refining pills.

After entering the Medicine Tower, his first job had been to deal with some medicinal herbs that had just been picked.

Dealing with these medicinal herbs required extremely meticulous and strong senses because these medicinal herbs were very precious. If one wasn’t careful, they could easily damage these herbs.

Zhou Feng possessed the passive Master Hunter and had stacked more than 12 hunting marks, which improved his perception a lot.

Relying on this outstanding perception, Zhou Feng was able to observe the damaged position of these medicinal herbs with extreme accuracy and carry out a perfect treatment.

The low-grade medicinal herbs he dealt with were almost the same as when Pill Master Yuan personally dealt with them. Thus, Zhou Feng was instantly valued by Pill Master Yuan.

And this Pill Master Yuan was one of the few Pill Masters in the Medicine Tower. It was said that many of the Spirit Nurturing Pills in the sect came from Pill Master Yuan.

As for Senior Brother Mo, he was Pill Master Yuan’s disciple. Unlike the other disciples, Senior Brother Mo was Pill Master Yuan’s official apprentice.

‘I really didn’t expect that this conception attribute would be so useful for refining pills!’

Zhou Feng didn’t expect that the passive Master Hunter would play such a big role in such a situation. It was even possible to become a Pill Master due to this passive skill!
