I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 499: Making Things Difficult and Encountering Obstacles! Translation

North City was located in the northernmost part of the Sky Kingdom, which was also at the border with the Mammoth Kingdom.

Due to the discovery of the Blood Essence Mine here, the Sky Kingdom and the Mammoth Kingdom had directly engaged in a war over the Blood Essence Mine.

The Blood Essence Mine yielded a unique mineral.

It was a special mineral that was formed from the blood essence of great ancient daemons after more than 1,000 years of evolution.

Its function was to activate and purify the bloodline.

For people who cultivated bloodlines in the Eastern Land, this mineral was equivalent to a miraculous pill for cultivation.

After all, cultivating bloodline power was equivalent to increasing one’s cultivation.

As long as one could continuously activate the bloodline in their body, their cultivation would be able to increase slowly.

It was much faster than slowly breathing in and out Spiritual Qi.

However, because both sides did not give in to each other, the Blood Essence Mine at their current location had not been mined.

Zhou Feng led the group of people from Princess Ming’s Estate and slowly arrived at North City.

“I’ll leave the encampment to you. I’ll report to the main camp first,” Zhou Feng said as he collected all the information on the surroundings.

Although his heart was filled with the idea of extracting the longevity substances, he still needed to do this kind of thing.

Princess Turin seemed to be entangled in another matter, so his task now was to lead the people of the estate to stand firmly in North City and obtain as many war merits as possible.

Only enough war merits could be the capital for Princess Turin to ascend to the throne.

During this process, Zhou Feng could also obtain enough cultivation resources.

This was because war merits could be exchanged for all cultivation resources to a certain extent.

Unlike the sky coins that were mixed with Daemonic Qi, war merits were the true currency.

‘Longevity substance! It is the key to achieving physical longevity!

‘However, ordinary containers are unable to store longevity substances. One must use a specific container!’

Zhou Feng’s previous method of extracting longevity substances had already failed.

This was because he discovered that even if he could barely extract the longevity substances from flesh and blood, he was still unable to store them.

Ordinary containers could not store the longevity substances at all.

He needed many heavenly materials and earthly treasures to test and see what materials could store the longevity substances.

And the so-called War Merit Vault was the best choice.

In order to motivate the people of the Sky Kingdom to fight bravely, the Sky royal clan had stored many treasures in the War Merit Vault.

‘And the person in charge of the War Merit Vault is the great general of the north. He also has the bloodline of the Sun-Swallowing Roc.’

Zhou Feng soon arrived at the center of North City.

As the troop that came to support, he had to report.

And if he guessed correctly, he would be in charge of an area.

But just as he arrived at the gate of the main camp, he was stopped by someone.

“Stop! Who are you? What are you doing here?”

The guard stopped Zhou Feng.

“I’m from Princess Ming’s Estate! This is the token...”

Zhou Feng was expressionless. He took out a token according to the procedure.

Unexpectedly, the guard did not wait for Zhou Feng to finish and chased him away impatiently.

“Princess Ming’s Estate? Then what about Her Highness? The great general of North City is busy now. Let Her Highness come personally!”

‘The great general of North City is busy?’

What kind of excuse was this? No matter how busy General Ding Yan was, he couldn’t possibly not have time at all!

After all, Princess Ming’s Estate came here as reinforcements.

“Eh? You’re the genius that Princess Ming’s Estate recruited? I heard that you broke through to the Divine Ability realm in just a few days!”

“It looks like that’s it now!”

“That’s right! I thought he was some kind of ruthless person.”

“...”

As if they had predicted it beforehand, a group of people immediately walked out from the other side when Zhou Feng was blocked.

These people did not hold back at all. Not only were they not very polite to Zhou Feng, but they also did not show much respect to Princess Ming’s Estate.

‘It seems that many people don’t want Princess Turin to succeed the throne…’

Zhou Feng did not have much of a reaction in the face of these taunts and difficulties.

This level alone was not enough to change his mood. Instead, it made him feel that there were a lot of forces targeting Princess Ming’s Estate.

And what exactly was Princess Turin doing?

Why couldn’t she appear personally for such an important matter?

And these people seemed to know that Princess Turin could not appear here, so they deliberately made things difficult for him.

“Great general of North City...”

Zhou Feng ignored everyone in front of him and raised his voice, intending to force General Ding Yan to come out.

After all, no matter what, he represented Princess Ming’s Estate.

If General Ding Yan was really determined not to see Zhou Feng, then he would inevitably be subjected to some rumors.

‘Aren’t you hiding? Then I won’t let you hide.’

“Impudent!”

“How dare you!”

But just as Zhou Feng revealed his intentions, he was stopped by the people in front of him.

Dou Zhe’s face was filled with anger, and he immediately made his move.

“Good lad! You really have guts! Isn’t this attitude offending the great general of North City?”

From the guards’ attitude, it could be seen that General Ding Yan did not want to see Zhou Feng.

However, Zhou Feng would force him to show his face.

In the end, even if General Ding Yan saw Zhou Feng, he would definitely make things difficult for Zhou Feng in the future.

Moreover, the worst thing was that for the sake of face, General Ding Yan would definitely meet Zhou Feng in the end.

This was because General Ding Yan had the bloodline of the Sun-Swallowing Roc and was a force of the royal clan.

General Ding Yan was unable to hide from Zhou Feng.

He could only use the weight of the two princes to deter and stop Zhou Feng.

Dou Zhe pulled out a sword.

As soon as this sword was pulled out, an ear-piercing sword hum immediately echoed.

“A sword cultivator?”

Zhou Feng glanced at Dou Zhe casually, but he didn’t even move.

He just let the Sword Qi slash at his body.

The incomparably sharp Sword Qi only left a few white marks.

“Great general of North City! Princess Ming’s Estate is here to report! Please come out and see us!”

This voice was extremely loud, and practically everyone in the main camp heard it.

“You!”

Dou Zhe’s expression instantly became unsightly.

There seemed to be something wrong with this person’s strength in front of him!

This body was too abnormal!

It wasn’t that this person was only at the Soul Altar before. Even if his aptitude was so heaven-defying that he broke through to the Divine Ability realm in a short few days, his actual combat ability definitely should be lackluster, right?

“Impudent! You actually dared to disturb the general!”

The guards guarding the gate also came to their senses now.

This absolutely couldn’t go on like this.

After all, General Ding Yan wouldn’t miss seeing the people from Princess Ming’s Estate. Previously, Zhou Feng had been stopped, so General Ding Yan definitely didn’t know.

It was all the fault of these two guards at the entrance.

They actually dared to act on their own accord and stop the people from Princess Ming’s Estate from coming to report.

At that time, the unlucky ones would be them!

Therefore, to avoid punishment, the two guards at the entrance were also forced to make a move.

They wanted to suppress Zhou Feng first and then slowly explain.

A bloody smell instantly spread out, and killing intent rose from their bodies.

Being able to be the guards at the main camp’s entrance, these two people were naturally soldiers who had fought hundreds of battles, and their strength had also reached the Divine Ability realm.
