I Cultivate Passively

“According to the agreement, all the things inside are yours.”

After putting the Myriad Spirit Gu into her bag, the trace of joy on Leng Maner’s face disappeared without a trace. She returned to the ice mountain goddess of the past.

All the things in this treasury belonged to Zhou Feng alone.

One had to know that A’Rixi was a Demon that had been alive for God knew how long. Hei also controlled many sects behind the scenes, so there were definitely many good things in the treasury.

As for these treasures, Leng Maner said she didn’t want any of them.

“Okay!”

Zhou Feng didn’t stand on ceremony. After all, these things were what he deserved.

‘Appraising Eye! Activate!’

Compared to Leng Maner, he had a huge advantage—the passive Appraising Eye.

There was basically no need to be afraid of any traps as the passive Appraising Eye would see through them all.

(Demon Soul Chasing Formation: This is the inheritance formation of the Demon race. Once you enter, demonic aura will contaminate you.)

Zhou Feng checked the treasure and his passive skill informed him that a large formation was covering it.

This was the Demon Soul Chasing Formation, and It did not have any offensive or defensive functions.

However, if someone entered, they would be contaminated by a very faint trace of demonic aura. Then, an endless stream of Demons would come to find trouble with the marked party.

This was the usual practice of the Demon race to guard against thieves.

In ancient times, there had been a sect that specialized in stealing—the Starseizer Sect.

They had once stolen everything from the Demon race, and the Demon Patriarch of the time was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

The Demon race had already declined at that time, and they would not dare to make a fuss even if someone stole a few things from them.

This had fueled the Starseizer Sect’s arrogance. They did not dare to steal from the human race’s great sects, but the Demon race was fair game!

At that time, the Human Emperor of that era and his tribe were looking for trouble with the Demon race everywhere.

As long as they revealed a bit of information, the Human Emperor would force the Demon race to the ends of the earth.

Thus, the Starseizer Sect had been in a frenzy, looting the Demons’ belongings, to the point they were forced to create the Demon Soul Chasing Formation.

First, they had let the Starseizer thieves steal the items, and after a few hundred years, they would slowly retrieve them one by one.

In any case, as long as the demonic aura contaminated something, it would not dissipate for a few hundred years.

Because of this, the Demon race had used the demonic aura to find the Starseizer Sect’s nest.

They had taken advantage of the Starseizer Sect’s decline, eradicating the sect and its inheritance forever.

“Demonic aura? Take out the Myriad Spirit Gu! There’s something wrong with it!”

Zhou Feng frowned upon reading the formation’s description. It was obvious that demonic aura had contaminated Leng Maner’s Myriad Spirit Gu.

No matter what, Leng Maner was his friend now, so he naturally had the duty to help her. “What!? There’s something wrong?”

Leng Maner’s whole body tensed up upon hearing the first half of his sentence. She thought Zhou Feng was eyeing the Myriad Spirit Gu.

Upon hearing the second half of his sentence, Leng Maner also frowned.

After thinking for a while, she took out the Myriad Spirit Gu.

Based on Zhou Feng’s previous behavior, he did not seem to be a despicable person.

Plus, the Insight Gu did not react. Hence, Leng Maner still chose to believe Zhou Feng in the end.

The Insight Gu was also a kind of heaven and earth mystical Gu that could see through people’s hearts.

Leng Maner had a certain amount of trust in Zhou Feng was largely because the Insight Gu showed that he did not harbor malicious intent.

Otherwise, Leng Maner would not have chosen to cooperate with Zhou Feng.

[Myriad Spirit Gu: ??? Contaminated with a trace of demonic aura???)

The Myriad Spirit Gu’s peculiar description was displayed.

‘What’s going on? There are a bunch of question marks?’

Zhou Feng’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise due to the question marks.

This was indeed a little strange. After all, the Appraising Eye could identify almost everything, even the Demon Soul Chasing Formation. Unexpectedly, it could not identify the Myriad Spirit Gu.

Although this was a little strange, the Myriad Spirit Gu was indeed contaminated.

“Demonic aura has contaminated it! You have to get rid of it. Otherwise, you might be targeted by the Demons in the future!” Zhou Feng informed Leng Maner about the current situation.

“Demonic aura?”

Leng Maner frowned even more when she heard this. She had not felt any trace of demonic aura, but she still believed what Zhou Feng said.

He did not covet the Myriad Spirit Gu. He was only warning her.

“Gnawing Gu!”

After thinking for a while, Leng Maner took out a Gu with a mouth that occupied 99% of its body.

This Gnawing Gu devoured the Myriad Spirit Gu’s outer shell.

Following that, the Myriad Spirit Gu’s true body was revealed.

Its entire body was shining brightly, like seven-colored glass, sparkling and translucent, without a trace of impurities.

The rainbow-colored light slowly scattered around, and a beautiful and illusory image appeared. “Is this the Myriad Spirit Gu’s true appearance?”

Zhou Feng’s eyes widened. He had never seen such a beautiful scene before.

On the other hand, Leng Maner was a little nervous, her eyes staring at Zhou Feng.

When she saw that there was no greed in Zhou Feng’s eyes, she heaved a sigh of relief.

One could not guarantee that even close relatives and friends would not be greedy when it came to such treasures.

Leng Maner had grown up in Tri-Gu Sect, so she had long seen the evil in people’s hearts.

Thus, when Leng Maner saw Zhou Feng’s pure eyes, her impression of Zhou Feng increased by a large margin.

Adding on Zhou Feng’s previous performance and the period that he played along as her husband-in-name, she could not conceal the blush on her cold face. This only lasted for a split second, however, so Zhou Feng did not notice anything

[Myriad Spirit Gu: A top-grade spiritual item nurtured by countless Gus. It can even give birth to spirituality and has the ability to transform into tens of thousands of Gus.]

The details of this Myriad Spirit Gu appeared again.

‘That is to say, that layer of stone skin could block detection? Looks like the Appraising Eye won’t be so useful after encountering some detection-blocking techniques…’

Zhou Feng finally understood why the Appraising Eye was useless earlier. It was because of that outer layer of stone skin.

“Alright, the demonic aura is gone. There is also a formation here…”

Zhou Feng gestured for Leng Maner to put away the Myriad Spirit Gu. Then, he began to explain why the demonic aura had contaminated it.

After hearing his explanation, Leng Maner could not help but feel some lingering fear.

If Zhou Feng was not here, then it was very likely that the Demons would come looking for her one day.

“Alright! Now it’s my turn to collect the spoils of war!”

After Zhou Feng finished speaking, he directly stepped into the treasury.

Furthermore, he didn’t take the slightest protective measure, stunning Leng Maner.

‘Didn’t you just say that there was a large formation in this treasury!? How could you be So…’
