Chapter 343 - Partnership?
Chapter 343 Partnership?
Zhou Feng hesitated for a moment, but he still told the truth. “I gave the Death Substitution Gu to another person.”
He deliberately hid Li Rong’s gender, however.
“That person owes me a favor, and I have other life-saving methods anyway,”
When he said this, he did not know why, but his tone was a little weak.
“Oh?”
It was rare seeing Zhou Feng explain so much.
Leng Maner did not say anything.
But when she thought of the Death Substitution Gu, Leng Maner’s heart still ached.
That was a life-saving Gu, and it was not so easy to refine it again. Yet, this man gave it to someone else… “What about you? What are you here for?” Zhou Feng changed the topic.
Although he had the intention to change the topic, he was still very curious about Leng Maner’s recent situation.
After all, she had broken through so quickly in such a short period. There were definitely many twists and turns.
“I am naturally here for the Celestial Lake Auction!”
Leng Maner looked at Zhou Feng deeply before casually talking about the recent events.
After dealing with A’Rixi, Leng Maner had a large number of resources from the Tri-Gu Sect.
Naturally, she couldn’t join other sects. After all, she had a lot of things on her now.
If other cultivators found out, it would be troublesome if they got greedy.
Thus, Leng Maner had been wandering alone.
She collected all kinds of resources to cultivate Gus and broke through at the same time.
Those who cultivated the Gu Dao would experience fast breakthroughs when sufficient resources were available.
Leng Maner’s Ice Spirit Gu had already undergone several transformations.
Those who cultivated the Gu Dao didn’t need to comprehend a divine ability to break through to the Divine Ability realm.
They only needed to assist their Vital Gus to transform.
And once their Vital Gu transformed to the Divine Ability realm, they would naturally be able to comprehend the divine ability of their Vital Gu as the host.
The Ice Spirit Gu’s divine ability was probably biased toward the Ice Spirit Dao.
However, Leng Maner needed a few special spiritual items to allow the Ice Spirit Gu to evolve.
These spiritual items were invaluable, so Leng Maner came to Celestial Lake City.
“That’s it. But those few spiritual items are expensive, and the sect’s inventory has already been depleted.
“I hope everything goes smoothly.”
When facing Zhou Feng, Leng Maner seemed to have found a vent.
She told Zhou Feng a lot of things.
She even told him the secret of breaking through to the Divine Ability realm.
“I see.”
Zhou Feng nodded.
He didn’t expect that it would be so easy to break through to the Divine Ability realm for Gu practitioners.
Compared to him needing to comprehend a divine ability, it was much easier to break through by relying on the Vital Gu.
Moreover, their strength was not much weaker.
As a former Tri-Gu disciple, he naturally knew the Tri-Gu disciples’ fighting style.
When a person and their Gu worked in tandem, it was equivalent to two Divine Ability cultivators working together.
However, the Gu Dao consumed too many
resources.
Leng Maner used to have the resources of a sect, but she had almost used them up.
This Gu Dao was more like the Endless Pit Dao, requiring many spiritual items to assist in cultivation.
“I’m also here to find a way to break through to the Divine Ability realm. Oh right, do you have a way to earn Spirit Stones?”
Zhou Feng briefly explained his current situation.
Then, the topic changed to earning Spirit Stones.
There was no other way!
At present, he was too short of Spirit Stones.
He needed numerous Spirit Stones to speed up his cultivation speed and also wanted to get a few spiritual artifacts.
It was too strenuous to rely on his physical body to fight all the time.
Zhou Feng was not one of those body cultivators who did not use any spiritual artifacts. It would be best if he had a suitable spiritual artifact.
In the end, he did not want to turn his physical body into a weapon but to live forever.
Therefore, as long as he could improve his strength, he would not reject it.
Leng Maner’s bright eyes stared at Zhou Feng for a while.
Then she simply replied, “No.”
To be honest, Leng Maner did not have the means to earn Spirit Stones.
All of her abilities were focused on cultivating Gu, and she had even given up her favorite Snow Condor in order to cultivate Gu.
If not for the foundation left behind by the sect, she would have long run out of Spirit Stones.
Once, Leng Maner also wanted to sell some Gus, but most cultivators still liked pills and spiritual artifacts in the Jade Sword Holy Land’s sphere of influence.
Not many cultivators had the enthusiasm to buy strange things like Gus.
After all, many people were also afraid of being inexplicably tricked.
“How about we partner up?”
Zhou Feng immediately proposed his idea.
That’s right! He wanted to work together with Leng Maner to earn Spirit Stones.
Numerous vagabond cultivators gathered in Celestial Lake City.
And the reason these vagabond cultivators gathered here was that the Celestial Lake City would issue some dangerous missions.
These missions were often extremely dangerous, but the rewards were very generous.
Zhou Feng’s goal was these missions.
Although he was very confident in his strength, sometimes his strength alone was not enough to deal with some situations.
He was strong but did not have enough tricks and strange methods.
If he did these missions alone, the efficiency would be very slow.
However, if Leng Maner cooperated with him, he would even hunt Divine Ability cultivators.
“Let’s split the reward evenly. How about it?”
Zhou Feng directly expressed his thoughts. He even planned the distribution of the benefits.
“This…”
Leng Maner hesitated for a moment because this proposal sounded very good.
She and Zhou Feng could be considered to have a certain foundation of trust, so Zhou Feng’s strength was not an issue.
He was definitely stronger than her, but the split was 50-50.
Zhou Feng could be considered to be very sincere. In addition, during this period, Leng Maner also understood the vagabond cultivators’ difficulties.
On the path of cultivation, it was simply too difficult to rely on one’s own strength.
Even if one was a vagabond, if they wanted to become famous through cultivation, they would at least need a few close friends to support one another. Otherwise, it would be difficult to tell one how difficult it was to be alone.
Although she had the thought of agreeing, Leng Maner’s beautiful eyes shifted as she softly asked back, “Do you really trust me that much?”
Zhou Feng told her the fundamental reason for his cooperation with Leng Maner in an extremely honest manner, “It’s not trust. It’s that you can’t kill me while I can kill you.”
That’s right!
Leng Maner’s cultivation level may be on par with his, but her actual combat strength was far inferior to his.
He could even kill Divine Ability cultivators with the support of all kinds of passive skills.
On the other hand, Leng Maner’s battle prowess was not that special.
In addition to his passive Battle Instinct, as long as someone wanted to plot against him, he would be able to detect it in advance.
Also, Zhou Feng had a good understanding of the Gu Dao.
If he cooperated with Leng Maner, he did not need to worry about his safety.
On the contrary, Leng Maner needed to be careful. If she was careless, she would be easily tricked by Zhou Feng.
For this reason, Zhou Feng was not worried about working together to earn Spirit Stones.
“I really…”
Leng Maner was furious upon hearing that.
‘As expected! Zhou Feng was still the same Zhou Feng! It’s impossible for him to have other thoughts.’
