Chapter 386 Resentful Ghost Elder
After buying the Swimming Dragon Fish Tank, Zhou Feng began to wander around the area.
The auction had already started, so he couldn’t enter. As such, it was better to familiarize himself with the terrain here.
Since the Xia Clan dared to hold an auction in such a place, they must first ensure everyone’s safety.
At least it was absolutely safe here.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any cultivators here to participate in the auction.
Therefore, Zhou Feng didn’t want to make a move here.
Instead, he waited for Hua Jun to leave the pavilion and be on his way back to Linxian City.
If he guessed correctly, Hua Jun would definitely use the flying sword to leave.
When Hua Jun used the flying sword to fly back to Linxian City, Zhou Feng’s opportunity would arrive.
It was inconvenient to make a move at the lake’s heart and Waterside Pavilion, but after leaving, Zhou Feng didn’t have so many scruples. However, he also wanted to investigate how many experts were there for safety reasons.
After all, Hua Jun was a disciple of the holy land. Perhaps the Xia Clan would step in to stop him.
The Xia Clan should also be implicated if a core disciple died here.
‘Appraising Eye! Zhou Feng immediately used Appraising Eye to observe his surroundings.
He had not used this passive skill for a long time.
This was because his curiosity didn’t take the better of him, and he did not want to know so many things.
He would only use it when he was sorting out the spoils of war.
Furthermore, the passive Appraising Eye was not as powerful as he had imagined.
As his realm increased, the things he came into contact with became more precious.
The passive Appraising Eye was usually only able to give general information.
Sometimes, it was only half a sentence, so Zhou Feng gradually didn’t use it.
(Circular Light Formation: A powerful defensive formation.]
(Spirit-Gathering Formation: Able to gather the surrounding Spiritual Qi.]
Zhou Feng saw many formations arranged in the surroundings.
However, these formations seemed to be small ones and couldn’t be compared to the grand formation of Celestial Lake City.
y
Even so, it also proved the strength of the Xia Clan from another perspective.
Formation Masters were extremely difficult to nurture. Compared to Pill Masters, it was even more difficult to become a Formation Master.
Pill Masters might be able to accumulate bit by bit through inheritance and resources.
However, a Formation Master would be able to choke most people in terms of talent.
Only those with outstanding talent would be able to become a Formation Master.
Moreover, if one wanted to rely on a Formation Master skills to earn money, one would still need a long period of cultivation and tempering.
Compared to a Pill Master who had just joined a sect, one would be able to accumulate resources slowly.
A Formation Master was much more miserable. A novice Formation Master wouldn’t even have the chance to use a formation. This was because Formation Masters who had just joined a sect were not only weak when it came to setting up formations, but they also needed a lot of resources. Small factions couldn’t afford such expenditure, but large factions had better choices.
Hence, the position of novice Formation Masters was rather awkward. However, once they became Class 3 Formation Masters, the value of Formation Masters would rise. For the Xia Clan to be able to set up so many formations here, it was obvious that their clan had nurtured these Formation Masters.
It was needless to say how powerful a clan that could nurture Formation Masters was.
‘These formations aren’t of great threat to me. Looks like the Xia Clan should have stationed quite a number of experts here.’
Zhou Feng quickly came to the conclusion that the formations the Xia Clan had set up here couldn’t stop him at all.
In other words, it was very likely that the Xia Clan had stationed Dragon Transformation experts here. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to suppress so many people at all.
What he needed to worry about was whether he would be able to block the attack of a Dragon Transformation expert. ‘Eh? Wait!’
Zhou Feng suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching
This individual didn’t intend to conceal their aura, so it wasn’t just Zhou Feng that noticed it; even the others had noticed that something was wrong.
“Who are you!? Please give our Xia Clan some face!” a Xia expert suddenly shouted.
Obviously, this person came with ill intentions. The Xia Clan didn’t want to start a fight with this kind of expert.
Thus, they brought out the name of the Xia Clan.
“Tsk, tsk, the Xia Clan? What audacity! They don’t even have a Dragon Transformation expert here, yet they dare to hold an auction here!”
It was unknown when it started, but balls of black fog surrounded the entire pavilion.
‘Ghost Qi? Demonic cultivator?’
Zhou Feng looked at the balls of black fog.
This should be Ghost Qi, and he could hear faint screams from within the black fog.
After looking at it for a long time, Zhou Feng felt like he was going to be swallowed whole.
If his guess was correct, this should be a demonic cultivator!
To be honest, this was the first time he saw a demonic cultivator in the Jade Sword Holy Land’s territory.
Under normal circumstances, due to the Jade Sword Holy Land’s terrifying suppression, there were no demonic sects nearby.
But that didn’t mean that there were no demonic cultivators.
Compared to the orthodox cultivation methods, the demonic cultivation methods of the Demonic Path advanced extremely quickly, and their power wasn’t weak.
Many people would try to cultivate, especially those geniuses with good talent but no background.
After all, almost all the cultivation resources were monopolized by the various sects and clans.
If one wanted to cultivate to the Divine Ability realm, they would have to rely on the support of these forces.
Under such a desperate monopoly of resources, there would definitely be people who would take the risk.
Demonic cultivation techniques were so easy to cultivate!
Wasn’t it just bloodthirsty soul-snatching? Wasn’t it just killing people?
They would just kill all those privileged disciples who monopolized the resources.
Due to the above reasons, demonic cultivators couldn’t be eradicated.
Under the Jade Sword Holy Land, some demonic cultivator geniuses would even be forced out from time to time.
These demonic cultivator geniuses were completely unreasonable when they broke through. They only needed less than a few years.
Those who became stronger and stronger during other cultivators’ pursuits would directly break through to the Dragon Transformation realm.
It was simply even more exaggerated than Zhou Feng’s breakthrough speed.
The demonic cultivators who couldn’t break through to the Dragon Transformation realm were basically all dead.
If one wanted to live and escape the pursuit of the Jade Sword Holy Land, the Dragon Transformation realm was the lowest standard.
Regarding this problem, the Jade Sword Holy Land actually had a headache.
A demonic Dragon Transformation cultivator had countless life-preserving methods at their hands and countless means.
Their life-saving means were even more first-class. Five cultivators of the same realm might not even be enough to take down a demonic cultivator.
If one didn’t keep an eye on these demonic cultivators, they would massacre an entire city.
They were like dogskin plasters. No matter how hard one tried, they couldn’t get rid of them.
Zhou Feng had read the information on the bounty list from the City Lord Manor.
There was a mission on it. The mission was to provide the specific location of the demonic cultivators.
“Come out!”
The demonic Dragon Transformation cultivator hidden in the dense Ghost Qi instantly released a large number of resentful ghosts.
These resentful ghosts had Divine Ability cultivation, were extremely fast, and had no physical bodies.
From the looks of it, this demonic Dragon Transformation cultivator intended to wipe out everyone here. “It’s over! It’s over! It’s actually him!”
“The Resentful Ghost Elder? Such a style definitely belongs to the Resentful Ghost Elder!”
“The Xia Clan actually didn’t send a Dragon Transformation expert to guard this place? What are they thinking? They must be crazy!”
Looking at the resentful ghosts that filled the sky, many people broke out in cold sweat, and their faces turned pale.
Zhou Feng wasn’t frightened. Instead, he restrained his aura and hid in a corner.
