Chapter 53: Impossible to Refuse

Qian Shang couldn’t believe it. His investment had really succeeded!

“It’s the Bitter Bamboo Peak! The name isn’t wrong either! Did the investment really succeed!?”

This information clearly introduced Zhou Feng’s specific information.

Zhou Feng

Origin: Bitter Bamboo Peak

Cultivation: 9th Level of Qi Condensation

Evaluation: He should have learned Bitter Bamboo Peak’s three Demon-Devouring Arts, and there is a high probability that he has a special constitution that can ignore all kinds of lethal poisons.

…

His name was Zhou Feng, and he was from the Bitter Bamboo Peak.

There shouldn’t be a second one in the entire inner sect.

For a moment, Qian Shang’s heart began to surge with excitement. An inner disciple at the 9th Level of Qi Condensation was his backer. His business could definitely use this east wind to develop.

He also had the confidence to do some things that he didn’t dare to do in the past.

“Father! Let’s maintain the status quo! Now is not the time!” Qian Qianqian could not help but pour cold water on him from the side.

Although her family’s backer had suddenly become a 9th Level Qi Condensation cultivator, in the end, there was no friendship between the two sides.

Under such circumstances, it was better not to cause so much trouble.

Maintaining the status quo in peace was the best choice.

“This… Good, good, good!” Qian Shang calmed down when he heard his daughter’s words and chose to listen to his daughter’s opinion.

From his previous experiences, there was nothing wrong with listening to his daughter. It was better not to be too anxious.

Zhou Feng had no idea that his reputation had spread to all the markets.

At present, he was akin to killing six generals after five hurdles. He directly swept through the inner sect and advanced into the top ten.

What made him feel strange was that he hadn’t met any powerful opponents during this process, such as Liu Yan and Lin Xiaojiao.

It was as if he had been deliberately isolated.

After all, he didn’t allow these people to fight head-on.

As for the rumored inner sect’s monsters, none of them appeared.

“This month’s martial arts competition has ended!”

What surprised Zhou Feng even more was that after the top ten were decided, an old man appeared and announced that the martial arts competition had ended.

Ended? It ended just like that?

This didn’t seem right!

“Follow me!” Old Man Niu said to Zhou Feng alone.

The others quickly left after the martial arts competition ended.

“Okay!” replied Zhou Feng.

He was brought directly to Myriad Gu Tower.

This was the first time Zhou Feng had entered Myriad Gu Tower.

It was the first place he had seen when he entered the inner sect.

This was where new disciples obtained their Gu, and there were many buildings beside it.

As for what the Myriad Gu Tower did, Zhou Feng did not know.

He was currently following behind Old Man Niu, who looked like an ordinary old man. He was wearing coarse linen clothes, his face was full of wrinkles, and his hands and feet looked very thin.

However, Zhou Feng felt a vague pressure. This feeling was not very clear, but it was real.

Unfortunately, Old Man Niu had not said a word until now, so Zhou Feng could not ask anything.

“This is…”

After entering the Myriad Gu Tower and walking from the first floor to the second floor, Zhou Feng saw a very spectacular scene.

There were actually countless cells on the second floor, and these cells were all breeding different Gu.

At the same time, there were many people busy there.

This feeling… was like a research base? The Tri-Gu Sect actually had such a place?

In Zhou Feng’s heart, the Tri-Gu Sect was a demonic sect. Other than fighting and killing, there was no normal person in the entire sect.

Thus, he did not expect this Myriad Gu Tower to be a research base.

Zhou Feng could tell from these people’s skilled actions that this was definitely not an act. They were seriously nurturing all sorts of Gu.

At that moment, he thought of the Scent-Locking Gu he had obtained from Xiong Dan…

No wonder he had been able to develop a supplementary Gu like the Scent-Locking Gu. It was because of the Myriad Gu Tower’s existence.

Not long after, Zhou Feng was brought into a room.

“I know you have many questions, so let me explain now.”

Old Man Niu took out a map, and without giving him a chance to speak, he started talking.

“After the martial arts competition, you can be considered a seedling that can be nurtured!

“Unfortunately, you are from Bitter Bamboo Peak, so this old man can only tell you a few things.

“…”

It turned out that the martial arts competition was not what Zhou Feng had previously understood.

The martial arts competition was indeed the best way for inner disciples to earn cultivation resources.

At the same time, the martial arts competition was a way for the sect to select good seedlings.

As for which good seedlings to select?

As mentioned earlier, those below the Soul Altar realm were all pretty much the same. Only by advancing to the Soul Altar realm could one be considered a true cultivator.

There was a qualitative difference in battle strength between the Soul Altar realm and the Qi Condensation realm.

For the Tri-Gu Sect, Soul Altar cultivators were a part of the sect and its pillar.

Therefore, the good seedlings chosen through the martial arts competition were actually good seedlings that had the chance to break through to the Soul Altar realm.

As long as you had the potential to reach the Soul Altar realm, the main peak would give you some help, such as the most important Spirit Nurturing Pill for breaking through to the Soul Altar realm. This pill could only be refined by the Pill Masters at the main peak.

As for the others, they had long made all preparations because there was someone behind them.

However, Zhou Feng, who was from Bitter Bamboo Peak, was different. There were no normal people on Bitter Bamboo Peak at all.

They were all mentally ill, so he did not have any backers.

Hence, Old Man Niu had set his sights on him.

“During this period, the sect has been fighting with the White Bone Temple and the Penta-Ghost Sect. This mine…”

After listening for a while, Zhou Feng finally understood.

To put it simply, the Tri-Gu Sect had been fighting with the White Bone Temple and the Penta-Ghost Sect over a special ore.

Now, he was asked to go to one of the mine caves to fish out the White Bone Temple’s Soul Altar cultivators.

Then, he would have to wait for the Tri-Gu Sect’s Soul Altar cultivators to find an opportunity and take action.

This was directly bullying him because he had no backer and no Master!

Thanks to his 9th Level Qi Condensation cultivation, his battle prowess was strong enough. If Zhou Feng couldn’t take down a cultivator of the same cultivation level, Old Man Niu would have to send out Soul Altar cultivators if he wanted to quickly resolve the issue.

Furthermore, without a backer or Master, many sects’ unspoken rules were unknown.

Zhou Feng was simply the perfect bait. Even if he sacrificed himself in the end, no one would be able to hold Old Man Niu accountable.

At most, Old Man Niu could send a batch of new disciples to the Bitter Bamboo Peak’s First Elder.

In any case, given the Demon-Devouring Technique’s characteristics, a disciple would reach the 9th Level of the Qi Condensation realm quickly.

“As long as this matter is successful, besides the secret to breaking through to the Soul Altar realm, there’s also a Spirit Nurturing Pill!”

Old Man Niu’s tone did not give Zhou Feng the chance to refuse at all.

However, in order to make him work hard, Old Man Niu still presented a big mouth-watering carrot.
