I Cultivate Passively

“I actually killed him! This was not as difficult as I imagined!” Zhou Feng’s hands were trembling slightly.

To be honest, Jiang Jing’s resistance was not as fierce as he had expected.

Or it could be said that Jiang Jing had been too weak and arrogant. He had not even looked Zhou Feng in the eye, thinking that everything was under his control.

Unfortunately, he had not expected to meet a freak like Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng managed to take the Heart-Linking Gu’s backlash head-on and even launched a counterattack.

In the end, Jiang Jing was forced into a passive position, and Zhou Feng’s full swing of his blade just now caused double the damage.

Under so many factors, Jiang Jing was insta-killed.

This rendered him unable to use some of his trump cards.

Meanwhile, Zhou Feng had smeared his teeth with poison and even stored some more in his mouth. As for what kind of poison he had used, even he himself did not know.

He had obtained those poisons previously. In any case, there were all kinds of them.

According to Zhou Feng’s original plan, it was very likely that he would fight to the death with Jiang Jing.

When he fought to the death, he might be able to take the opportunity to bite Jiang Jing. The latter would never have thought that he would smear poison on his teeth and even have some poison in his mouth.

Such a sneak attack would definitely increase Zhou Feng’s chances of winning.

Of course, such a tactic was completely based on his passive Poison Immunity. If he did not have this passive ability, he would not dare to take such a risk.

‘This is troublesome! What should I do now?’

Not mentioning anything else, Zhou Feng urgently needed to deal with the Heart-Linking Gu that was starting to bite back.

Earlier, he had swallowed the mother Gu’s corpse; this was an emergency measure.

It could slightly suppress the Heart-Linking Gu’s backlash.

Speaking of which, this was something he had learned from Yu Ming.

This seemed to be a method to deal with the sudden death of the person holding the mother Gu.

But this method could only suppress the child Gu for some time. If one didn’t use a special method to take out the Heart-Linking Gu, then the outcome would be death by the backlash.

Zhou Feng rummaged through Jiang Jing’s storage bag.

He did not know why, but his heart was actually very calm at such a dangerous moment.

Perhaps before this, he would have been very panicked and would not know what to do.

But now, he was eerily calm.

‘As expected, there aren’t any! Spirit Nurturing Pills that can help one break through to the Soul Altar realm are indeed more precious!’

Zhou Feng found that there were many minerals that he had never seen before and some Spirit Stones. There were only some supplementary ingredients for medicinal pills and the like.

‘Then… I can only rely on the Demon-Devouring Gu!’

Zhou Feng’s original plan was to find the Spirit Nurturing Pill. He had planned to break through to the Soul Altar realm. Perhaps, after breaking through to the Soul Altar realm, he would be able to solve the Heart-Linking Gu’s problem.

But now that he could not find the Spirit Nurturing Pill, he could only rely on the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body.

At present, the Demon-Devouring Gu seemed to be a little dispirited. It had just erupted too violently, squeezing out quite a bit of its Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi.

Now, the Demon-Devouring Gu was crazily devouring the Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi in his body.

“Demon-Devouring Gu! If you can hear me, then help me swallow the Heart-Linking Gu!”

He was now trying to communicate with the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body.

A long time ago, he had learned that although the Demon-Devouring Gu did not have much intelligence, it could understand his thoughts and feelings. However, it would not bother with him most of the time.

Zhou Feng believed that since the Heart-Linking Gu and Demon-Devouring Gu were inside his body, the Demon-Devouring Gu may be able to devour the Heart-Linking Gu.

After all, these were both Gu entities, so it should be possible!

The Demon-Devouring Gu did not react at all. It was still trying its best to absorb all the nutrients in his body.

“If you can get rid of the Heart-Linking Gu, how about I let you eat your fill once?”

Zhou Feng continued to try to communicate with the Demon-Devouring Gu.

The Demon-Devouring Gu had a slight reaction at the mention of a ‘feast’.

Still, it did not take action.

‘There is a reaction!?’

After sensing that the Demon-Devouring Gu had a reaction, Zhou Feng’s mind jolted.

He immediately took out all his storage bags and poured everything out.

‘Eat!’

He started to eat crazily on the spot because he was well aware of the Demon-Devouring Gu’s personality.

Such empty words were enough for the Demon-Devouring Gu to take action.

At the very least, he had to let the Demon-Devouring Gu feel his sincerity. Thus, Zhou Feng started to swallow all kinds of things into his stomach.

Poisons, pills, herbs, and so on were all stuffed into his mouth.

Zhou Feng possessed the Level-2 Gluttony, which could help him digest these things and decompose them into a large amount of nutrients on the spot.

According to the passive skill’s description, every time he ingested something, there would be a chance to obtain an unknown attribute.

However, Zhou Feng had never obtained such an attribute.

After he swallowed these things, his stomach began to roar crazily.

Then, his stomach began to hurt!

He swallowed such a plethora of things because he had the Level-2 Gluttony. If it were anyone else, they might have died from overeating.

Actually, Zhou Feng himself did not want to do this, but this was the only way. Only then would he have a chance to let the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body work and get rid of the Heart-Linking Gu.

If this method did not work, then he could only bet on the next passive skill to get rid of the Heart-Linking Gu.

It had been some time since the last time he had obtained a passive skill.

The progress bar on the skill panel had also increased by half. If he used all his strength to devour the Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Stones to speed up the progress bar, then perhaps he would obtain a new passive skill before the Heart-Linking Gu attacked.

But if that was the case, he would be gambling his last hope on luck.

Before the last second, he really did not want to place his hopes on luck.

“Gulp, Gulp, Gulp”

Zhou Feng’s stomach started to make some strange sounds.

The Level-2 Gluttony displayed all its effects at this time.

Under his reckless swallowing, he was actually able to digest these things. After digesting them, a part turned into chaotic Blood Qi, while the other part became turbid Spiritual Qi.

After that, he couldn’t hold it in any longer.

He really couldn’t digest the residue, so it was directly pushed out of his body through… excretion.

‘Is this Level-2 Gluttony? I seem to have neglected this passive skill!’

Zhou Feng felt the changes in his body and suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated this passive skill too much.

Gluttony! Gluttony! If he didn’t eat crazily, how could it be called Gluttony?

A large number of unknown things were digested and turned into Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi.

What cultivation resources did this require?

Zhou Feng crazily circulated the Demon-Devouring Technique to continuously strengthen his body.

However, the only drawback of doing this was that the Spiritual Qi became even more mixed, which had already been much purer.

The Blood Qi was also chaotic, and his control over his body also decreased a lot.

Zhou Feng did not really care about this, he just had to make do with it.

He did not ask for anything in this situation—he was not a perfectionist.

Zhou Feng wanted to strive for a perfect breakthrough in every realm and even suppress his own realm. He did not want a perfect foundation.

At present, he only wanted to quickly break through and get rid of the Heart-Linking Gu in his body.
