Chapter 175: Sudden Fame

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘This is the threat! Other than this threat, there shouldn’t be anyone deliberately targeting me!’ Zhou Feng was thinking in his heart.

Ever entering Heavenly Star City, he didn’t seem to have offended many people other than w.a.n.g Shu.

As long as he dealt with w.a.n.g Shu, there shouldn’t be so much trouble.

After w.a.n.g Shu and Zhou Feng agreed on the battle, the latter left in a hurry.

There were still a lot of things that needed his attention.

Although Zhou Feng had left, their upcoming battle had attracted a lot of attention. The w.a.n.g Clan may have declined, but they had once enjoyed glory.

A lot of people were keeping an eye on an old clan that had the opportunity to rise again.

Not to mention that the battle had to do with the n.o.ble daughter of the Li Clan.

That’s right!

No one knew who had spread the rumor that Zhou Feng and w.a.n.g Shu had agreed to fight because of the n.o.ble daughter of the Li Clan.

The w.a.n.g Clan might not attract many people’s attention, but if it involved the Li Clan, then the situation would be different.

The Li Clan was one of the four strongest clans in Heavenly Star City.

They controlled a Spirit Stone Vein.

Other than being able to mine Spirit Stones, they could also sell Spirit Vein Stones as stone materials for stone gambling.

In the entire Heavenly Star City, other than the City Lord’s mansion, only the Li Clan had a Spirit Stone Vein.

And relying on their abundant financial resources, the Li Clan had managed to surpa.s.s the other three great clans.

Not to mention that the Li Clan only had one n.o.ble daughter in this generation; it could be said that they were the stars supporting the moon.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Li Clan insisted on finding a son-in-law and made it clear that they wouldn’t consider the large clans, w.a.n.g Shu wouldn’t have been able to win.

It was probably not w.a.n.g Shu’s turn.

“What? w.a.n.g Shu’s opponent is a vagabond cultivator?”

“That’s right! I don’t know what exactly is going on, but is the w.a.n.g Clan so devalued now?”

“Fighting with a vagabond cultivator? Even if he wins, it’s not a big deal, right?”

“I don’t know, but this vagabond cultivator doesn’t seem simple!”

“…”

This battle instantly became the topic of conversation in Heavenly Star City.

Many people also investigated Zhou Feng. What qualifications did this vagabond cultivator have to eye the n.o.ble daughter of the Li Clan?

Elder Zheng felt that this was a good opportunity. It could allow Zhou Feng to obtain a higher reputation in Heavenly Star City.

As someone who had experienced life, Elder Zheng was clear that the further one progressed on the path of cultivation, the harder it was to obtain cultivation resources. Some cultivation resources would only circulate in some small circles.

Therefore, reputation was very important. It was even more important to let more people know about it.

Elder Zheng had seen some solitary and arrogant wandering cultivator geniuses. They believed that if their apt.i.tude were good, they would be able to break through all difficult problems.

But in the end, because their circle was too small and the things they obtained were too little, they became ordinary people at the end of their cultivation.

Thus, Elder Zheng directly created momentum for Zhou Feng.

It could also be considered as an increased investment in Zhou Feng, but this was also a test.

Elder Zheng’s investment would just end there if Zhou Feng didn’t make it through. As such, he would cut his losses.

Soon after, the news that Zhou Feng was a genius cultivator and Pill Master spread out.

In addition, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had given proof that Zhou Feng had sold the most difficult Grade-1 pill to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, the Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pill.

There were numerous Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pills.

“A Cla.s.s 1 Pill Master? He’s about to break through to Cla.s.s 2 Pill?”

“No way! This person doesn’t seem to be very old!”

“I heard that he’s not even 20! And while refining pills, his cultivation hasn’t dropped. He’s a Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator and about to break through to the Purple Mansion realm!”

“Also! I heard that this Zhou Feng could break through to the Purple Mansion realm long ago, but he just doesn’t have a suitable cultivation technique!”

“Also! This pill refinement technique is also the legacy of a vagabond Pill Master. This Zhou Feng completely relied on his own talent to reach this point.”

“…”

Many people appeared in Heavenly Star City to promote Zhou Feng within a single night.

They presented him as a genius vagabond cultivator.

Just by relying on some vagabond cultivator’s legacy, he had cultivated to Grade-1 of the Soul Altar realm and even learned pill refinement.

To be honest, not only did Zhou Feng’s cultivation reach Grade-1 of the Soul Altar realm, but he was also a Cla.s.s 1 Pill Master.

This was difficult for a vagabond cultivator.

To achieve such accomplishments, one had to be extremely talented.

If Zhou Feng was really as described above…

Then he seemed to have some qualifications to become the Li Clan’s son-in-law.

Given his talent, in addition to the enormous resources of the Li Clan, he would secure his breakthrough to the Purple Mansion realm. He may even have a chance to reach the Divine Ability realm.

The big clans didn’t care much about cultivation and talent, but the ident.i.ty of a Pill Master was another matter. It was hard for any clan to refuse this.

In the end, the Li Clan was really alarmed.

“Aunt, what’s going on? What happened?”

Li Rong was a little confused.

Li Manya wasn’t sure what had happened either. Why were people saying that the Li Clan was going to choose Li Rong’s husband between w.a.n.g Shu and Zhou Feng?

This did not seem right!

The Elders should not be so impatient.

“This… Aunty does not know either. But there is one thing that Aunty wants to ask you. If you had to choose between w.a.n.g Shu and Zhou Feng, who would you choose?”

Li Manya’s sudden question stumped Li Rong.

“Aunt… Why are you asking such a question all of a sudden?”

Li Rong could not help but feel a little shy.

“Now you have to answer! Because there’s not much time left for you to choose!”

At that moment, Li Manya’s face was slightly solemn.

After such a long time had pa.s.sed, Li Rong’s marriage could not be dragged on any longer. The longer it dragged on, the longer the other large clans would not give up.

And the Li Clan did not want to change their neutral att.i.tude.

Therefore, Li Rong’s marriage had to be arranged quickly. Previously, they had sorted through many candidates, but only w.a.n.g Shu was suitable in the end.

The other suitable ones were either from the big clans or too unreliable.

In the Li Elders’ eyes, although w.a.n.g Shu was a little indulgent, it was best to control this kind of indulgent person. Marrying into the Li Clan would also save them a lot of trouble.

Not to mention that the w.a.n.g Clan had once suppressed the Li Clan. Now, they were at the Li Clan’s mercy.

Some of the Li Elders were secretly pleased.

However, because of Li Rong’s strong opposition, this matter had been delayed.

Now, Zhou Feng had suddenly appeared. Not only was he a vagabond cultivator but also a Pill Master.

According to Li Manya’s guess, the Li Elders should also accept Zhou Feng marrying into the Li Clan.

After all, taking in such a highly qualified vagabond cultivator was considered an improvement to the Li Clan’s bloodline.

Now that the two candidates were here, Li Rong’s opinion was very important.

As long as Li Rong was partial to one side, that side had a high chance of becoming the Li Clan’s son-in-law.

“I…”

Li Rong was at a loss for words. After all, girls were relatively thin-skinned.

She would never pick w.a.n.g Shu, so naturally, there was only one choice left.

However, Li Rong and Zhou Feng had only met once. This progress seemed to be a little too fast.

Still, it was undeniable that Li Rong’s first impression of Zhou Feng was very good.
