Du Chengfeng had long wanted to try and understand the formal ways of cultivation in this world.
Although he had previously acknowledged Ruan Shantao as his teacher, that old man hadn't taught him anything before he was gone. As a result, the path Du Chengfeng was on was still the most basic one, strengthening his abilities through killing. But after running around for some time now, he had come to realize that in this world, killing wasn't the only way to get stronger.
Take Ruan Shantao himself, for instance, who had never killed anyone in his life yet was still exceptionally powerful. Or the war drums and horns of the prairie people, which were another way of manipulating Evil Qi. Or Liu Bolun's self-brewed wine that could suppress the Blade Evil Qi. Or those so-called "Immortals" from Taiyin Mountain who had their own unique methods.
Clearly, aside from this most straightforward and yet most problematic path of killing, everyone seemed to have other roads to take.
