Chapter 171: Heavenly Star Gathering

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Facing Zhou Feng with such a temperament, Li Xin temporarily didn’t plan to make a move.

After all, w.a.n.g Shu hadn’t officially married into his Li Clan, so it wasn’t worth the risk for such a person.

Besides Zhou Feng’s appearance and temperament, another important reason Li Xin didn’t make a move was that he felt a hint of danger from Zhou Feng’s body.

Li Xin was a Purple Mansion cultivator, yet his intuition told him that he would be in danger if he made a move against Zhou Feng.

It must be known that the cultivation that Zhou Feng displayed at this moment was that of a Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator.

A person at the Soul Altar realm actually made him feel threatened?

It was highly likely that Zhou Feng was a wolf pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. Perhaps, he was one of those freaks who could jump realms and battle Immortals.

Challenging those of a higher level was as easy as eating and drinking to these freaks.

Li Xin may be mediocre, but he still could see the dishes being served.

If Zhou Feng was just an ordinary Soul Altar cultivator, he would naturally use his own and the Li Clan’s strength to crush him.

But the situation was different now, so he would first observe.

‘Something seems off…’

Zhou Feng suddenly felt a few gazes staring at him, and they were hostile. Had he unknowingly gained so many enemies?

As more and more people were gathering around him, Zhou Feng quickened his pace.

After entering the inner city, the situation eased quite a bit.

Zhou Feng had experienced it once before, so he appeared to be very familiar with the route this time and headed straight for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

This time, the person who received him was still the same old man from last time.

“You are…”

When Elder Zheng saw Zhou Feng again, a trace of doubt flashed across his face.

There seemed to be some uncertainty in his tone. Compared to last time, Zhou Feng was too different.

This temperament belonged to a superior. Could it be that he had successfully cultivated the Human Emperor Scripture?

An expression of disbelief appeared on Elder Zheng’s face.

He knew the Human Emperor Scripture the best. It was an impossible-to-cultivate cultivation technique.

Only with the legendary Human Emperor’s talent, coupled with the environment of the ancient times, could one successfully cultivate the Human Emperor Scripture.

Elder Zheng had sold the Human Emperor Scripture more than a dozen times, and all of the people who had bought it were vagabond cultivators.

Because there had been no Purple Mansion cultivation techniques, they had placed all their hopes on the Human Emperor Scripture.

In the end, there was no news at all. It was as if all of them had succ.u.mbed to the Earth Malevolent Qi that had entered his body.

And most importantly, even if one succeeded in cultivating the Human Emperor Scripture, it still paled compared to the most advanced cultivation techniques of this era.

The most advanced cultivation techniques had been pa.s.sed down from generation to generation by the ancient sects.

Not only were they more suitable for the current environment, but their understanding of the path of cultivation had far surpa.s.sed that of the legendary Human Emperor.

Of course, this was not to belittle the Human Emperor. If the Human Emperor transmigrated to this era and cultivated the most powerful cultivation technique in the world, he would probably be even more terrifying.

The current comparison was only between the Human Emperor Scripture and the most powerful cultivation technique in the world.

It was also because of all these reasons that almost everyone could buy the Human Emperor Scripture.

“These are all Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pills. How many Spirit Stones can you exchange them for?”

Elder Zheng, who was already in a state of shock, was flabbergasted in the next second.

“Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pills? These are all of them?”

Elder Zheng took one of the Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pills out of the jade bottle and conducted a simple appraisal.

Although the quality was a little ordinary, all of them were genuine Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pills.

Moreover, there were actually so many of them? How long had it been?

It had only been a day! And he was able to refine so many Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pills?

Given Zhou Feng’s pill refinement skills and young age, he was definitely a genius one must invest in.

Elder Zheng instantly decided to invest in him.

Investing in genius cultivators and genius Pill Masters was actually a very common practice in this world.

This was because most people’s potential was just so-so. If they wanted to continue to climb up, the best way was to invest in the unaffiliated cultivators and wait for the future to pay off.

Unfortunately, it was difficult to find any geniuses among the unaffiliated cultivators.

As long as there were slightly better ones, various forces would recruit them in advance.

There weren’t many opportunities to invest in them.

Elder Zheng had been in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion for so long, but he had never met a single unaffiliated cultivator who was worth investing in.

Now, he finally had an opportunity.

Elder Zheng quickly calculated how many Spirit Stones these Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pills were worth. “The price for these Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pills should be around 1,000,000 Spirit Stones. I can make the decision to give you 1,500,000 Spirit Stones!”

1,500,000 Spirit Stones!?

The raw materials for the Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pills seemed to only cost around 10,000 Spirit Stones. This was more than 100 times the profit!

One day? This…

This time, Zhou Feng could clearly feel how rich a Pill Master was.

He could redeem the medicinal gourd with just one night of hard work.

Moreover, he had acc.u.mulated a lot of Spirit Stones. He even had the Spirit Stones to open the pill shop this time.

And all of this was due to his pa.s.sive skill. He probably wouldn’t have earned so many Spirit Stones if he didn’t have this pa.s.sive skill.

If it was a normal Pill Master…

First of all, becoming a Cla.s.s 1 Pill Master required numerous resources, not to mention refining the Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pill.

Every new pill recipe required countless hours of research, and only after one had mastered it could they officially refine it.

This required countless resources, but Zhou Feng skipped all the previous stages. He didn’t need to expend so many resources to practice, so the speed he earned Spirit Stones was naturally ridiculous.

Elder Zheng suddenly took out an invitation card.

“There’s also an invitation card here. It’s an invitation card for the Heavenly Star Gathering in three days!”

The invitation card had a purplish-gold l.u.s.ter, with countless stars adorning it.

‘Heavenly Star Gathering?’

Zhou Feng looked at the invitation card and then at Elder Zheng.

“This is a gathering that Heavenly Star City holds every year. The people who can attend are the heirs of the major forces of Heavenly Star City.”

Elder Zheng began to explain.

This so-called Heavenly Star Gathering was a gathering of influential people.

However, the people who held the gathering could not be underestimated. They were the heirs of the top forces in Heavenly Star City.

This also meant that the top cultivators of the younger generation in Heavenly Star City would attend.

The purpose of the Heavenly Star Gathering was very simple. It was to communicate with and compete with each other.

Cultivating behind closed doors was the most undesirable thing in the path of cultivation.

Therefore, the necessary communication was very important. Moreover, all kinds of information would be exchanged at this gathering.

There were even soul artifact transactions, cultivation techniques transactions, and so on.

All the young cultivators wanted to squeeze into this private gathering.

‘This…’

The more Elder Zheng explained, the more traces of confusion Zhou Feng’s face betrayed.

‘Such a good thing was handed to me like that? Is this a mistake!?’

If he remembered correctly, he and Elder Zheng had only met for the second time.
