I Cultivate Passively Chapter 54 - Heart-Linking Gu

Chapter 54: Heart-Linking Gu

Zhou Feng did not know the specific function of the Spirit Nurturing Pill, so he immediately asked, “This Spirit Nurturing Pill is…”

“Spirit Nurturing Pill is a supplementary pill for breaking through to the Soul Altar realm. It can increase the success rate of forging a Soul Altar!”

Old Man Niu gave a simple explanation.

“Alright! Later you can go to the first level of the Scripture Pavilion. It has all the things you want to know. Now give me a clear answer!”

Old Man Niu took out a small token, which could allow Zhou Feng to enter the Scripture Pavilion once.

Of course, Zhou Feng could only view the first level of the Scripture Pavilion.

“Okay!” Zhou Feng agreed without hesitation.

He had no choice at this time. If he dared to say no, then Old Man Niu might instantly turn hostile.

After all the previous experiences, Zhou Feng was already able to safely agree to this.

Other than this, there were two other reasons he had agreed.

One of them was that he would leave the Mount Gu range. This mine was located at the edge of the Tri-Gu Sect’s territory.

Would he have a chance to escape from the Tri-Gu Sect’s control?

If he stayed in Mountain Gu, Zhou Feng felt that he would have no chance to escape.

But if he was outside the Tri-Gu Sect’s territory, the chance of escaping would increase from 0 to 1%

The other reason was his dear Eldest Senior Brother had been in seclusion for so long. He should be ready to come out.

Regardless of whether he succeeded or failed, Zhou Feng felt that it was very dangerous. Accepting the sect mission to go out at this time was a good chance to escape.

“Very good!”

When Old Man Niu heard him answer, a trace of a smile immediately appeared on his face.

At the same time, a small black worm instantly appeared and flew to Zhou Feng’s chest in the blink of an eye.

It was too fast!

Even if his Battle Instinct was triggered, Zhou Feng could not react in time.

A burst of intense pain came from his chest.

Zhou Feng could clearly feel that a worm had bitten open his skin and flesh and then drilled into it.

This kind of feeling was simply chilling.

“This is the Heart-Linking Gu. As long as it’s a disciple below the Soul Altar realm, they need to plant it when they go out!”

A small black beetle crawled out of Old Man Niu’s hand.

“I hope you don’t have any other thoughts when the time comes. Otherwise, you can only sacrifice yourself for the sect!” His tone was full of warning and admonishment.

THe Heart-Linking Gu was unique to the Tri-Gu Sects, and it was also an important method that a.s.sisted the Tri-Gu Sect to maintain control until now.

The Heart-Linking Gu was divided into the mother, and child Gu, which was somewhat similar to the Love Gu introduced earlier.

However, this Heart-Linking Gu only had one pair, and the two corresponded with each other.

As long as one of the Heart-Linking Gu died, the other Heart-Linking Gu would enter a berserk state and start to devour everything nearby.

Moreover, the two Heart-Linking Gu had a special connection with each other. As long as one of them was in the vicinity, the other would react.

Zhou Feng had just been ‘bestowed’ with the Heart-Linking Gu’s child Gu.

Now that it was residing in his heart, as long as the mother Gu died, this child Gu would start to bite his heart.

Also, if he tried to get rid of this child Gu, the mother Gu would react.

“Got it!”

Even if Zhou Feng knew that the sect would have countermeasures against disciples fleeing, the anger in the heart could almost not be suppressed when the Heart-Linking Gu drilled into his chest.

This is a very clear oppression of death, as their own life and death were in the hands of the enemy.

‘It’s still not the time! But it won’t be long!’

Zhou Feng’s face didn’t reveal much of an expression. After suppressing his anger, he comforted himself in his heart.

Old Man Niu looked at the expressionless Zhou Feng, and he was expressionless as well. He had already seen too many things in these past few years.

Endure patiently? Wait until you can return the suffering tenfold in the future? Don’t be ridiculous!

Was it so easy to break through to the Soul Altar realm? Even if one did, it would still be the most trashy Grade-9 Soul Altar.

Moreover, without lifebound artifacts and corresponding means, they would only be cannon fodder even if one barely broke through.

Also, was this Spirit Nurturing Pill that easy to refine? How could it be casually given to cannon fodder?

That’s right! In Old Man Niu’s heart, Zhou Feng was only a sacrificial p.a.w.n, and the Spirit Nurturing Pill was just an empty promise.

“Alright! I’ll get someone to deliver the martial arts compet.i.tion’s reward to you later! Now leave this place!

“Oh right! Remember that the mission time is three days later!”

After Old Man Niu finished speaking, he immediately chased Zhou Feng away. He casually waved his hand as if he was chasing away a fly.

Zhou Feng glanced at him indifferently and left without saying anything.

‘This is really the plot of “Don’t bully the poor”! Soul Altar realm…’

He began to form a plan in his heart, but he had to make a trip to the Scripture Pavilion before that.

At present, he urgently needed to understand the information of the Soul Altar realm and the specific functions of the Spirit Nurturing Pill.

The last time he had been to the Scripture Pavilion, he had only chosen one footwork technique and had not been qualified to look at things like miscellaneous techniques.

Now that he had this opportunity, he had to supplement it ruthlessly.

His knowledge of this word’s cultivation was still too lacking.

Who asked him to be so unlucky to be involved with a demonic sect like the Tri-Gu Sect? Forget it.

After entering the inner sect, he had even joined Bitter Bamboo Peak, the gathering place of lunatics.

…

Zhou Feng used a short amount of time to enter the first level of the Scripture Pavilion. Then, he found the location where the miscellaneous discussion books were placed.

This area was filled with some cultivation insights, from the Body Tempering realm to the Soul Altar realm.

For example, these insights would hint at how to perfectly refine one’s body in the Body Tempering realm.

Zhou Feng had neglected all of these steps. If it was before, he might have been in the mood to slowly savor them.

Unfortunately, there was a ball of fire in his heart now. He only needed to understand how to reach the Soul Altar realm.

Compared to other realms, there were only a few miscellaneous books on the cultivation of the Soul Altar realm.

Zhou Feng casually picked up a book and forced himself to calm down and slowly flip through it.

Soul Altar realm! What was the Soul Altar realm?

The so-called Soul Altar realm actually referred to the head and also the place where the soul resided.

The most important thing for the Soul Altar realm was to cast the Soul Altar and bear the soul power.

Before forging the Soul Altar, although the cultivator had soul power, they could not harness it. Thus, they could not use soul power.

Only by forging the Soul Altar and having a place to harness the soul power could they mobilize their soul power and use all kinds of methods.

Among them, nurturing a lifebound artifact was one of the Soul Altar realm’s major characteristics.

After breaking through to the Soul Altar realm, one could nurture a lifebound artifact. A Soul Altar cultivator with a lifebound artifact would dominate the Qi Condensation realm.

Among them, there were several ways to forge a Soul Altar. There were two main methods, one was to visualize, and the other was to borrow the aid of medicinal pills.

The first method was to cultivate the visualization method and strengthen the power of one’s soul.

Then, step by step, the Soul Altar would be forged according to the visualization method.

This was the exclusive property of some ancient factions because only they possessed visualization techniques and objects.

One had to know that visualization techniques did not only require cultivation techniques. Other than cultivation techniques, visualization techniques could only be successfully cultivated with special visualization objects.

Therefore, the majority of mainstream sects currently adopted the second method, which was to use medicinal pills. To be precise, they used Spirit Nurturing Pills.
