Chapter 34: Side Effects? That’s Even Better!

“You…”

The small fries representing Zhao Wu were instantly unhappy when they saw that Zhou Feng had actually dared to antagonize them.

Even though they were facing an inner disciple in the Qi Gathering realm, these small fries were still very arrogant.

They could only see that Zhou Feng was in the Qi Gathering realm.

Compared to their Master, the difference was not just a small gap.

Not to mention, recently, Zhao Wu had made quite a name for himself in the inner sect.

Normally, when inner disciples heard the name Zhao Wu, they would avoid conflict.

This was because, as inner disciples, the difference between ordinary inner disciples and elite inner disciples was too big.

If they wanted to obtain more for a longer period, they would have to look at the next dish. If the situation was not right, they would directly give in.

This was very normal. When their strength rose, later on, they would take revenge.

“Get lost!”

Zhou Feng was too lazy to talk nonsense. He directly used his actual actions to prove his value.

A shadow flashed past, and the few underlings present were all kicked away. These pieces of scum who were not even in the Qi Gathering realm were naturally not his match.

“Have you thought about it?”

After kicking these underlings away, an impatient expression appeared on Zhou Feng’s face.

Every time he used his spiritual power, he would always feel a lot of negative emotions welling up in his heart. Therefore, his current expression was no longer as good as before.

Black Spiritual Qi slowly surged into his fists, and a suffocating aura pressed down on Qian Shang’s body.

“We agree! From now on, our family’s business will depend on this Young Master!”

Before Qian Shang could give an answer, a voice came from behind the door of the shop.

‘It seems to be a woman’s voice?’

After hearing this voice, Zhou Feng calmed down slightly.

“My name is Zhou Feng! I’m from Bitter Bamboo Peak! If you have any problems in the future, just send someone to Bitter Bamboo Peak to look for me!”

After saying this, Zhou Feng turned around and left.

If everything went smoothly, Qian Shang would send the protection fee to him later.

At the same time, Zhou Feng had to fulfill his duty and protect the merchant’s shop.

A sign with Zhou Feng’s name and the mountain peak he was from could be hung outside the shop.

Regarding this, an unspoken rule had long been formed in the market city.

After all, such an ecological environment had been formed for a long time, and many things could be traced.

Zhou Feng, who realized that something was wrong with him, left the market in a hurry. He had just realized the drawback of cultivating the Demon-Devouring Technique.

Every time he circulated his Spiritual Qi, all kinds of negative emotions would well up in his heart.

Given his character, he definitely wouldn’t have been so impatient just now.

At that moment, he even wanted to directly attack Qian Shang.

Sure enough, demonic techniques were demonic techniques. They advanced very quickly, and the side effects were very obvious.

If he continued to cultivate, he might become as crazy as his Eldest Senior Brother.

‘But I don’t have a solution right now! Then…’

Unfortunately, Zhou Feng was out of ideas.

It was impossible to get rid of the side effects of cultivating the Demon-Devouring Technique unless he stopped cultivating or directly crippled his cultivation. 

It would be better to commit suicide in that case.

Having no cultivation in the Tri-Gu Sect was equivalent to suicide.

Thus, Zhou Feng had a thought.

Since the side effect was so obvious, then what was there to worry about!

Sensing the serious side effect of the Demon-Devouring Technique, not only did he not have the intention to stop cultivating, but it even stimulated him. This side effect would come no matter what, so he simply discarded his worries and charged forward.

Now that his cultivation realm was low and his strength was also low, it was almost impossible for him to find a solution.

In that case, perhaps there would be a solution when he reached the Soul Altar realm?

Since the Demon-Devouring Technique had such a huge side effect, how did the First Elder deal with it?

There was definitely a solution to this problem. If he were to cower, he could only wait for death.

After thinking through this point, Zhou Feng decided to initiate his hunting plan the next day.

…

While Zhou Feng decided to let loose, Qian Shang returned to the back of the shop.

“Daughter! Did you say something just now because that person has great potential?”

Qian Shang’s face was extremely pained, but if he could really find a reliable backer, then it would not be too bad.

The reason Qian Shang thought this way was entirely because of his daughter.

His daughter’s name was Qian Qianqian. From this name, one could tell how miserly Qian Shang was.

Even the name he gave his daughter was Qian Qianqian.

Such a miser was willing to spend a lot of money because of his daughter’s suggestion.

Qian Qianqian had been born blind, but her senses were very sharp. She could foresee some dangers. If anything went wrong, she would sweat all over, and her heart would beat wildly.

At the same time, Qian Qianqian had a little Treasure Mouse. This little Treasure Mouse could detect people who pretended to be pigs to eat tigers, and it could also find some treasures.

It was precisely because of this Treasure Mouse’s special ability that Qian Shang and his daughter had been able to escape all the way to this Tri-Gu market city.

They had even been able to open up shops in such a demonic sect.

Now, Qian Shang was hoping that Qian Qianqian had chosen Zhou Feng as her backer because the little Treasure Mouse had detected that Zhou Feng was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

That was why she had chosen Zhou Feng as her backer.

Otherwise, he might have to pay a huge price again.

A beautiful woman was sitting on a rocking chair, her eyes covered by a piece of cloth. Her hand was gently stroking a little white mouse.

“If I hadn’t made a sound just now, Father, you would have been in danger! I could feel the killing intent of that person! Little White was also very anxious just now! It almost ran away!”

Qian Qianqian’s tone was calm as she explained calmly.

“It can’t be! Would that person dare to kill people in the market city? It’s the Tri-Gu Sect’s rule that you can’t kill people in the market city!

“And just because of this, he wants to kill people?”

Qian Shang’s forehead broke out in cold sweat after listening to his daughter’s explanation.

He had just made a trip to the door of death.

This was too dangerous!

Compared to the Eastern Land, this was indeed the demonic paradise.

“The Tri-Gu Sect’s rules only restrict outsiders, not their own disciples!

“And that person is from Bitter Bamboo Peak. In the future, we should be able to be safe for a period!”

Qian Qianqian’s tone was still very calm. It was obvious that she had some understanding of Bitter Bamboo Peak.

“Bitter Bamboo Peak? Is there anything special about it?” Qian Shang had no understanding of the Tri-Gu Sect’s various peaks, so he directly asked that question.

“Very special! I heard that the people on Bitter Bamboo Peak are all crazy and battle maniacs. The other inner Tri-Gu disciples usually do not dare to provoke the Bitter Bamboo Peak people!

“Moreover, Young Master Zhou Feng seems to be somewhat different from the Bitter Bamboo Peak disciples that I know!

“You can invest appropriately!”

Qian Qianqian gave a suggestion based on her intuition.

“I can try investing!?”

After Qian Shang heard this, he couldn’t help but recall what he had experienced on the way to the Tri-Gu Sect.
