Chapter 157: Drawing Out a New Pa.s.sive Skill
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Because of Zhou Feng’s appearance, the voice of this joint caravan had been scattered up until now.
To those small caravans, Zhou Feng was definitely more reliable than those large caravans.
Even because the scale of Qian Shang’s caravan was relatively small, many caravans directly came over to ask if they could rely on them.
!!
For several days in a row, Qian Shang was tired of dealing with these people. After all, only strength could make people feel at ease in the wilderness.
The most exaggerated thing was that many people were willing to offer Spirit Stones in exchange for the right to stay near Zhou Feng.
Among them, the angriest were naturally the large merchant caravans. The actions of these small merchant caravans were undoubtedly a harsh slap to their faces.
However, these people did not dare to cause trouble for Zhou Feng.
The aura that Zhou Feng had exuded during his confrontation with the Howling Moon Wolf King had already proved everything.
“Do as you see fit!”
Regarding this matter, Zhou Feng only gave Qian Shang one sentence.
That was to do as he saw fit. It did not matter even if he used his name to brag.
The current situation should be the best time to develop his network of contacts. He was not familiar with the people and places in Heavenly Star City. If he had some connections, his life in Heavenly Star City should be a little better.
However, this mainly depended on Qian Shang. Besides his daily cultivation, Zhou Feng was also studying the art of pill refinement.
There was no pressure on his shoulders now, so he didn’t have to force himself to continue cultivating.
He could just slowly study the art of pill refinement.
Other than that, Zhou Feng’s favorite thing to do was to feed Big Yellow.
At this time, Big Yellow had completely opened its eyes, and its body size was getting bigger and bigger every day.
Its eyes seemed to be very intelligent. Usually, it was like a small guard guarding Zhou Feng’s side.
At the same time, Big Yellow’s appet.i.te was increasing day by day.
In addition to feeding it Spirit Stones, it also needed to consume resources.
Big Yellow’s other advantage was probably that it wasn’t picky with its food. It could eat anything.
Zhou Feng had fed Big Yellow some of the defective products from his previous pill refinement.
Surprisingly, Big Yellow did not feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, its fur had become even shinier. It was as if it also possessed the pa.s.sive Gluttony.
Just like that, Zhou Feng’s days were extremely comfortable.
He would study pill refinement and feed Big Yellow daily.
This trip lasted for one and a half months and was also nearing the end.
“As long as we pa.s.s through the Withered Forest, we will soon arrive at Heavenly Star City!”
Qian Shang reported the situation to Zhou Feng as usual.
“Are we finally arriving?”
To be honest, Zhou Feng was already feeling a little bored. He could only stay in the carriage every day. It was too depressing.
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. After all, the caravan’s speed was slow, to begin with.

Not to mention it was such a huge caravan, he could only continue to endure.
Soon, Zhou Feng’s caravan entered a forest of withered trees.
This was also the most dangerous part of the journey.
This was because numerous Poisonous Eagles were living here. These Poisonous Eagles all carried their own toxins, and they were fearless of death and extremely vengeful.
As long as one of their companions died, they would definitely move out in full force. They would not rest until one of the two parties died.
It was said that someone had once provoked the Poisonous Eagles, and they chased them to Heavenly Star City.
Even after chasing them to Heavenly Star City, these Poisonous Eagles had not given up.
In the end, Heavenly Star City’s protection formation had killed them all.
Normally, this should be the Poisonous Eagles’ breeding period, and they were all in their nests.
This was also the time when they could pa.s.s through the Withered Forest every year.
There would be no danger as long as there were no major problems.
When they pa.s.sed through the Withered Forest, almost everyone held their breaths, their expressions heavy.
Even Zhou Feng was affected.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and all the caravans pa.s.sed through the Withered Forest safely.

“Scared me to death!”
“We’ve finally pa.s.sed through! I really don’t want to pa.s.s through a place like the Withered Forest again!”
“That’s right! It’s too terrifying!”
“…”
After pa.s.sing through the Withered Forest, everyone heaved sighs of relief.
The rest of the journey would be much safer.
This was because the next step was within the sphere of influence of Heavenly Star City. No more demonic beasts would appear.
After such a long period of living in the wilderness, they couldn’t wait to have a good rest.
Thus, it was time for the joint caravan to split up. After all, they had already reached Heavenly Star City’s territory, so there was basically no risk.
“Let’s head straight to Heavenly Star City.”
Zhou Feng didn’t care too much. He just asked Qian Shang to speed up and head straight to Heavenly Star City.
“Alright! Young Master!”
…
Heavenly Star City was a famous city on the Southern Border.
It was also the holy land of cultivation in the hearts of the nearby cultivators. One could exchange for all kinds of cultivation resources, as well as find Pill Masters, Formation Masters, Beast Tamers, and so on.

The most famous one was the Star Tree in the inner city of Heavenly Star City. This mutant spirit tree could absorb the starlight from the nine heavens at night and convert it into Spiritual Qi.
Because of this, almost all the people in Heavenly Star City hoped to enter the inner city.
“Is this Heavenly Star City?”
Zhou Feng lifted the curtain on the carriage.
This was a super-giant city made of bluestone. One could feel the vicissitudes of time from the mottled city walls.
What made Zhou Feng somewhat uncomfortable was that there were people all around him.
And almost all of them had high cultivation bases. He saw quite a few Soul Altar cultivators.
A Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivation base seemed to be average in Heavenly Star City.
After spending some Spirit Stones as taxes to enter the city, Zhou Feng and the others smoothly entered Heavenly Star City.
Zhou Feng planned to stay in Heavenly Star City for some time, so he wanted to buy a small courtyard.
However, the houses in Heavenly Star City were too expensive. In the end, he only found a very remote location and bought a small courtyard.
As for Qian Shang and his daughter, Zhou Feng did not care. He just told them that they could come to him if they had any difficulties. As for how to survive in Heavenly Star City, it was none of his business.
Fortunately, Qian Qianqian had a Treasure Mouse. She thought that it should be possible to open a small business in Heavenly Star City.
After he finished studying pill refinement, the pills that he refined would be sold by Qian Shang and his daughter.
Now, Zhou Feng couldn’t wait to start drawing new pa.s.sive skills.
That’s right! On the way, he had been holding back from drawing new pa.s.sive skills.
The progress bar on the skill panel was already full.
The first thing Zhou Feng did after settling down was to open the skill panel.
‘It’s been so long since I last drew! I hope I can obtain a good pa.s.sive skill this time!’
He rubbed his hands out of habit.
“Drawing!”
“Drawing…”
The familiar drawing scene made him feel extremely comfortable.
