I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 247 Two Chances?

The openness of both sides was the basis of Zhou Feng and Leng Maner’s cooperation.

However, the two of them only revealed a part of their secrets, not exposing more crucial trump cards.

This was enough, though.

“I need to recover from my injuries!”

After Zhou Feng discussed the specific conditions of the cooperation, he informed her he needed some time to recuperate.

His nascent soul was weakened, which had a great impact on his strength. This kind of injury was not something the passive Tenacious Heart could heal, so he could only slowly recover over time.

“This is a Soul Gu, and it can heal nascent soul injuries!”

After hesitating for a while, Leng Maner took out a lime-colored Gu.

In order to save time, Leng Maner took out one of the Tri-Gu Sect’s treasures, the Soul Gu. This was a special Gu, and nurturing was troublesome as one constantly needed to feed it with souls.

Only the ancestors of the Tri-Gu Sect could nurture it, and they considered it one of the Tri-Gu Sect’s signature Gus.

Crushing and swallowing this Gu could effectively heal soul injuries, as well as increase the nascent soul’s strength. There were no side effects.

Not mentioning anything else, just the lack of side effects already made it a top-grade treasure.

If it were not for the sake of obtaining the Myriad Spirit Gu as soon as possible, Leng Maner would not have taken out this precious

Gu.

Leng Maner did not want to drag this on as the Myriad Spirit Gu was her key to the Divine Ability realm. It was better to obtain it as soon as possible!

“Soul Gu?”

Zhou Feng looked at the Soul Gu in Leng Maner’s hand and raised his brows.

As expected of inheriting more than half of the Tri-Gu Sect’s treasures. There was actually such a strange item.

Moreover, how many strange Gus had the Tri-Gu Sect nurtured over the years?

The deeper one delved into the Gu system, the more fascinating and peculiar things they’d find.

Zhou Feng did not stand on ceremony. He took the Soul Gu and prepared to heal his injuries.

Leng Maner did not intend to stay there, so she left this secret room.

When the Sacred Leader had built this place, he had considered that he would live for a long time. Thus, this place was spacious and had many rooms.

Leng Maner went to another room to prepare.

After Leng Maner left, Zhou Feng could finally take some time to look at his harvest.

“Soul collection successful!”

“Hunting successful!”

First, he looked at the skill panel. His passive Soul Harvesting and Master Hunter had simultaneously been triggered earlier, but he hadn’t opened the notifications.

Moreover, the passive Soul Harvesting’s notification was somewhat different this time.

‘Soul Collection? Could it be because the Demon’s soul was strong enough?’

Unexpectedly, more than half of Zhou Feng’s nascent had recovered due to the Demon’s soul.

After using Soul Punch, Zhou Feng’s nascent soul had turned illusory, as if it was about to dissipate.

His nascent soul was now so stable because he had collected the Demon’s soul, which then turned into a torrent of soul power that replenished Zhou Feng’s soul. If not for that, he would still be unconscious.

Healing Zhou Feng’s soul injury should not be a problem with Leng Maner’s Soul Gu in hand.

“Why is there no movement from the Human Emperor Ring?”

Zhou Feng looked at the Human Emperor Ring. Why was there no movement from the Human Emperor Ring?

He remembered that when he had killed that Demon, the Human Emperor Ring on his finger had been very hot.

The Demon’s aura had instantly been sucked clean.

Why hadn’t he gotten any feedback?

His body didn’t seem to have been strengthened either!

Zhou Feng finally realized why he hadn’t gotten any feedback when he looked at his skill panel.

The progress bar was full!

And for the first time, it showed that he could draw two passive skills!

Zhou Feng rubbed his eyes at once, wondering if he was seeing things.

He was not seeing things, however. He was really not seeing things!

The Human Emperor Ring was supposed to store the demonic aura, turn it into energy, and strengthen Zhou Feng’s body.

However, at some point in time, the skill panel plundered the ring’s stored energy.

As a result, the energy went into the progress bar; ergo, he was now able to draw two passive skills.

The Human Emperor Ring was no match for the skill panel.

Zhou Feng was naturally satisfied with this outcome. He trusted the skill panel more than the so-called Human Emperor inheritance.

One more passive skill was equivalent to one more innate ability, after all.

“Draw! Draw!”

Zhou Feng could not wait to start drawing passive skills. As long as he was lucky, he should be able to draw something useful. He could draw twice this time.

“Drawing…”

It was that familiar scene again.

Soon, a new passive skill appeared in front of him.

“Extraction successful!”

Purification of Heaven and Earth: Every other day, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi will help you purify a negative state on your body.

Negative states include Poison, Imprints, Karmic Seal…

“Purification of Heaven and Earth?”

Zhou Feng read this passive skill’s description.

‘Not bad! This is a good support-type passive skill!’

As Zhou Feng’s cultivation increased, he would have many more tricks up his sleeve. This support-type passive skill was exceptionally useful.

Zhou Feng was rather satisfied. It was better than obtaining something completely useless. Just as he was thinking this, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly gathered and encased his body.

Soon, a mass of pure black gas was dispersed.

This sudden change astonished Zhou Feng.

“This is… triggering the Purification of Heaven and Earth? There’s something dirty on my body?” After a long while, he finally reacted.

He had just obtained the passive Purification of Heaven and Earth, so he didn’t expect it to be triggered right away.

In other words, there was something dirty on Zhou Feng’s body.

However, he hadn’t noticed it.

Fortunately, he had the passive Purification of Heaven and Earth. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t even know that he was being plotted against.

That’s right! That mass of black gas was actually the karmic seal released by the Demon race before they died.

This was also the Demons’ innate divine ability. As long as one was born, they would have it.

No matter what means one used to kill a Demon, they would be marked.

Also, the karmic seals would be stacked the more Demons one killed.

In the end, it would even cause those old Demons to come out of seclusion, lock on you, and hunt you down no matter where you tried to hide.

This was also the reason the Demons couldn’t be wiped out.

Most factions had been unwilling to use their full strength because the Demons could easily launch an all-out counterattack toward the end of the previous war. Those factions would waste their power and let their enemies reap the benefits.

At that time, the human race had not been united. Every major force had many enemies.

Therefore, no one wanted to waste their strength for nothing. In any case, the Demon race was no longer a force to be reckoned with.

It was better to let these Demons hide in a corner and struggle for their lives!

As for dispelling this karmic seal, it was a troublesome matter.

It was naturally not a problem for an almighty cultivator, but such cultivators did not have so much time to waste.

In the end, for all kinds of reasons, they stopped hunting down Demons.
