Chapter 168: I’m Definitely Going to Be the Son-In-Law!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhou Feng’s cultivation of the Human Emperor Scripture had become much easier due to his Tenacious Heart and his Self-Healing Constitution.

On the other hand, recovering from his injuries required a large amount of Blood Qi.

His Level-2 Gluttony could replenish his Blood Qi by constantly devouring various medicinal herbs and the like.

If there were pills, it would naturally be the best. In any case, Zhou Feng could convert anything into Blood Qi with his Level-2 Gluttony.

Therefore, Zhou Feng needed many resources to support his cultivation of the Human Emperor Scripture.

And what could he exchange for these cultivation resources? Currently, the best way for Zhou Feng to earn resources was to refine pills.

For him, refining pills could be said to be everything. He had pill-refining techniques, pill recipes, and even raw materials.

These things were all inherited from Pill Master Yuan.

‘But my pill refinement level doesn’t seem to be that good…’

Since the pill refinement plan to earn resources was complete, then all that remained was Zhou Feng’s pill refinement skill.

Zhou Feng had never refined the Spirit Accumulation Pill before.

‘Oh right! Let’s see whether I can draw out a new passive skill!’

Zhou Feng thought of the skill panel.

He cultivated the Human Emperor Scripture and was almost reborn, with most of his shortcomings almost being eliminated.

In this case, there should be some changes in the skill panel!

He opened the skill panel and took a look at the progress bar.

‘The progress bar is full?’

To his surprise, the progress bar was full. This meant that he could draw a new passive skill.

1

‘I hope it’s a passive skill that can help with pill refinement!’ Zhou Feng prayed in his heart before drawing the passive skill.

“Drawing!”

“Drawing…”

Skill Proficiency: Your subclass skill success rate increases by 15%, but this passive skill can not be used beyond your level.

2

Subclasses include: Pill Master, Formation Master, Beast Tamer, and so on.

Zhou Feng had been wishing that this new passive skill was related to pill refinement.

‘No way! My wish came true? Am I seeing things right!?’

Zhou Feng was dumbstruck upon seeing this new passive skill. This was so good that Zhou Feng even suspected that he was seeing things.

‘Proficiency! A direct increase of 15% success rate?’

This meant that no matter how Zhou Feng refined a pill, he had at least a 15% success rate.

Wasn’t this invincible?

However, the description at the end still showed that this passive skill had some limitations. This passive skill wasn’t effective when he was refining pills of a higher grade.

For example, Zhou Feng was a Class 1 Pill Master. If he wanted to refine a Grade-2 pill, this passive skill wouldn’t be effective.

But even so, this passive skill was invincible. After all, the pill success rate of an ordinary Pill Master was very low. It was basically less than 50%.

Failure was a very normal thing for a Pill Master.

Moreover, this passive skill was not only suitable for refining pills. It could also help him set up formations or tame spirit beasts easier.

“Invincible! Invincible! Invincible!”

Zhou Feng shouted “Invincible!” three times. He did not expect the passive skill to be so powerful this time.

Refining the Spirit Accumulation Pill to earn resources was close at hand with this passive skill.

“Woof!”

Just when he was in a state of excitement, Big Yellow came out from nowhere and barked.

“Big Yellow! Hungry? Eat these things first. I’ll refine pills for you later.”

Seeing Big Yellow wagging its tail at him, Zhou Feng instantly understood what Big Yellow wanted.

It was hungry and wanted to eat something.

It was impossible to feed Spirit Stones like before, so Zhou Feng took a few strips of jerky out of his storage ring and threw them to Big Yellow.

Now that his finances were tight, he could only feed it a little less.

When Zhou Feng’s Spirit Stone reserves increased again, he would refine some pills that were specially fed to spirit beasts.

If Big Yellow could grow quickly, it would be a help to him.

“Woof woof!”

Although Big Yellow was used to eating Spirit Stones, it still maintained a smile on its face after receiving the strips of jerky, not disliking them at all.

It swallowed the strips of jerky in big mouthfuls.

Zhou Feng also took out a cauldron he had purchased earlier and all kinds of medicinal ingredients.

He would refine pills on the spot!

…

“How is it?”

“Young Master! The investigation is almost done. This Zhou Feng is a mere vagabond cultivator.

“However, a servant discovered that the Li Clan seems to be secretly investigating this Zhou Feng as well.”

“What? The Li Clan is also investigating?”

When Wang Shu heard that the Li Clan was also investigating Zhou Feng, he instantly felt that something was wrong.

“Could it be that the Li Clan is interested in that kid?”

At that moment, Wang Shu didn’t look like a good-for-nothing at all. On the contrary, he appeared very calm and collected.

He seemed to be deliberately acting like a silkpants.

Indeed! Wang Shu was pretending to be a good-for-nothing young master.

All of this was to become the Li Clan’s son-in-law.

Compared to the Li Clan, Wang Shu’s clan had long declined.

The Li Clan was even able to open a business like a gambling den in Heavenly Star City. From this, one could see the Li Clan’s power.

And apart from their established name, the Wang Clan was even inferior to some second-rate clans.

Therefore, forming a marriage alliance with the Li Clan was the most important thing for the Wang Clan.

Wang Shu pretended to be a good-for-nothing so that the Li Clan would lower their guard.

The Li Clan had already made it clear that they only wanted to do business peacefully and did not want to join in the various disputes in Heavenly Star City.

This meant that the Li Clan would not casually form a marriage alliance with those big clans.

On the contrary, finding a ne’er-do-well son-in-law seemed to be a better choice.

Moreover, this son-in-law had better be well-behaved and not so ambitious.

It was also because of all these reasons that Wang Shu pretended to be a good-for-nothing and did not seem to have any ambitions.

Although Li Rong hated him, marriage was never something that Li Rong could decide.

Originally, everything was going according to Wang Shu’s plan.

The Wang Clan had already declined, and Wang Shu was a silkpants. Such a person seemed to be very suitable to become a son-in-law of the Li Clan.

The Wang Clan may have declined, but their reputation was still there, so it was not considered shameful.

The Wang Clan had already discussed with the Li Elders not long ago. The matter of becoming a son-in-law of the Li Clan was almost a done deal.

Wang Shu was originally very pleased with himself. Li Rong disliked him, yet she would still marry him in the end.

Every time Wang Shu thought of Li Rong’s unwilling look, he felt a wave of comfort in his heart.

But just when everything had been going smoothly, Zhou Feng, this imbecile, suddenly appeared.

Although the matter of the Wang and Li Clan becoming in-laws would basically not be shaken, Wang Shu was still a little worried.

He was afraid that if he were too pleased with himself, something would happen in the end.

At that moment, he had to eliminate all accidents.

Thus, a thought arose in Wang Shu’s mind—that was to get rid of Zhou Feng!
