I Cultivate Passively Novel - Chapter 103
Chapter 103: Leng Maner’s Strength
“You little brat!”
The moment Pill Master Yuan inhaled the Carefree Powder, he knew what kind of poison had poisoned him.
The Carefree Powder was like a raging fire, while his weak body was like dry wood.
Both parties lit up the moment they touched. The aphrodisiac that Zhou Feng had researched had shown its effects once again.
Of course, this also had to do with Pill Master Yuan’s carelessness.
In order to not attract attention, Pill Master Yuan had to take part in the battle personally. He even used his pill fire. But the thing that surprised him the most was that Zhou Feng actually had a defensive half-spiritual artifact.
Pill Master Yuan hurriedly swallowed two pills, and the Carefree Powder was expelled out of his body.
As a Pill Master, he might not have many other things, but he definitely had enough pills.
‘As expected, this Carefree Powder is only a small path after all!’
When Zhou Feng saw this, he held his breath and prepared to defend with all his strength.
The Carefree Powder could only be used as a sneak attack at most. It was still too difficult to rely on this method to win.
When he encountered an experienced opponent like Pill Master Yuan, said opponent countered it with a flip of his hand.
“You forced me to do this!”
Pill Master Yuan knew it was impossible to win quickly with ordinary methods since Zhou Feng possessed the Purple Jade Bell. If he wanted to end the battle quickly, he would have to use unconventional methods.
After thinking that, Pill Master Yuan swallowed three pills consecutively, and his originally weak aura immediately recovered to its peak.
A terrifying aura slowly rose up.
Don’t think that their battle prowess was lackluster just because Pill Masters were immersed in pill refinement. In fact, some experienced Pill Masters’ battle prowess was extraordinary.
This was because these Pill Masters carried a pile of pills with them at all times, and they could consume them at any time.
Moreover, they were familiar with the medicinal properties, so they were able to suppress the side effects of all kinds of pills to the minimum.
Pill-refining fighting style! This was a fighting style that belonged exclusively to Pill Masters.
It was unknown what kind of pills Pill Master Yuan had just eaten, but his battle prowess temporarily recovered to its peak.
“Heavenly Fire! Come!”
A ball of heavenly fire descended from the sky and transformed into a fire dragon.
The scorching flames caused Zhou Feng’s entire body to perspire.
Suffocation!
At that moment, Zhou Feng could smell the scent of death. He had no room to dodge because the fire dragon’s attack range was too large. Under such circumstances, he could only choose to take it head-on.
Zhou Feng used all his strength to activate the Purple Jade Bell to separate the flames.
‘What should I do!’ Zhou Feng began to think about what to do frantically.
Facing such a predicament, he could not think of anything. He did not seem to have any trump cards, or rather, he did not have any ability to turn defeat into victory.
All along, he had been relatively average in all aspects. The pronoun of average also meant that he was very mediocre.
None of his passive skills were particularly outstanding.
It seemed that he had to get a trump card after escaping this calamity. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the ability to turn the tables at all.
“Are you still hiding in this turtle shell? It’s useless! The fire dragon refines spirit herbs!” Pill Master Yuan roared and formed a core seal with both hands.
The fire dragon in the sky directly circled around and formed a pill refining cauldron, trapping Zhou Feng in the center.
This fire dragon was made up of the Earth Core Fire, and it was also something that Pill Master Yuan had spent decades of painstaking effort to contain in his body.
Although this Earth Core Fire was the lowest grade of spirit fire, it was at least a spirit fire.
If Zhou Feng didn’t have the protection of the Purple Jade Bell, he would probably have been burned to ashes in an instant.
‘Looks like I can only use money to open a path!’
Zhou Feng’s skin was a little charred black at this time, and sweat couldn’t stop flowing down.
He was still lacking when facing a Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator.
Moreover, Pill Master Yuan wasn’t an ordinary Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator but a very wealthy Pill Master.
He didn’t know how many trump cards he had.
Crossing so many realms to fight a Pill Master was still a bit too difficult for the current Zhou Feng.
Fortunately, he wasn’t without vitality.
That was because there were a large number of talismans and disposable soul artifacts in his storage ring.
At this point, he had no choice but to thank Han Ming once again.
“Essence-Breaking Needle! Diamond talisman…”
Zhou Feng didn’t care about the value of these items. In any case, he threw them all out.
If one could use words to describe his current fighting style, then the words ‘burning money’ were the most suitable to describe it.
All sorts of talismans were tossed around randomly, disposable soul artifacts were directly activated, and all sorts of medicinal pills were directly swallowed.
Zhou Feng would use whatever he had. There was no need to be stingy with anything.
The cauldron that was condensed from the fire dragon was blown to smithereens.
Rays of various colors crazily flashed in the air.
“You…”
Pill Master Yuan was flabbergasted. He had forcefully used a binding technique to restrict all sounds and rays of light within this small area.
Fortunately, he reacted in time. Otherwise, he might have alerted the others.
The binding technique was an ancient technique.
According to legends, this binding technique could bind anything. The ancient times’ sages used this binding technique.
It bound countless dragon veins and earth veins, giving the humans a better living environment.
Some sages were even more extreme. They restrained their fate and lifespan, thus becoming the chosen one and having an unlimited lifespan.
However, the restraint method had long been lost by now, leaving only a few bits of inheritance.
In his early years, Pill Master Yuan had relied on refining pills for others to obtain a small portion of the restraint method’s inheritance.
“Let’s directly fight a looong battle!”
Zhou Feng was already prepared to engage in a prolonged battle. He believed that the final victor would definitely be him as long as this dragged on.
In order to unleash his full strength, Pill Master Yuan seemed to have consumed some forbidden pills. This state definitely wouldn’t last for long.
Moreover, in order to avoid being discovered, he had to pay attention to not making any noise constantly.
If this dragged on, the final victor would definitely be Zhou Feng.
“Cough cough!”
Sure enough, Pill Master Yuan suddenly withered and began to cough.
“It seems that you Pill Master Yuan have murdered quite a number of our Tri-Gu disciples!”
Just as Pill Master Yuan coughed, a gentle voice echoed.
Accompanying it was the somewhat ethereal Leng Maner.
“It’s you! Why haven’t you left yet!?”
When Pill Master Yuan saw Leng Maner, a trace of fear instantly appeared on his face. He didn’t even have the intention to fight and planned to escape.
However, a streak of ice-cold moonlight suddenly shone down from the sky.
Pill Master Yuan, who was about to escape, was immediately frozen, and even the fire dragon was extinguished.
This sudden turn of events stunned Zhou Feng.
‘So strong!?’
Zhou Feng looked at Pill Master Yuan, who had been frozen into a block of ice, and sucked in a breath of cold air in his heart.
He hadn’t noticed Leng Maner’s attack until the end.
Moreover, Leng Maner’s aura hadn’t changed since then. It was still as ethereal as ever.
This meant that she hadn’t used her full strength at all.
After Leng Maner froze Pill Master Yuan into a block of ice, she slowly turned her head to look at Zhou Feng.
Under the bright moonlight, Leng Maner looked down on him like a high and mighty empress.
