“These things are also a hot potato for me. I’ll give them to you!”

Zhou Feng went straight to the point.

These two top-grade spiritual artifacts were really a hot potato for him because of the mark left by the Wang Clan.

He might as well give them to Li Rong directly. After all, with Li Rong’s background, the Wang Clan would definitely not dare to cause trouble for her.

Secondly, it would be able to pay off some debts of gratitude.

No matter what, Li Rong had revealed the existence of the Heavenly Star Mystic Realm to him.

Furthermore, she had given him a spot. This was already a huge favor in itself.

Zhou Feng felt that he was not someone who did not know how to repay her kindness.

Therefore, these two top-grade spiritual artifacts could be considered to be offsetting some debts of gratitude.

As for the rest, he could only slowly repay them later.

“Okay!”

Li Rong was stunned for a moment before she kept these two top-grade spiritual artifacts.

This way, after the two sides had crossed paths, there would definitely be more contact in the future.

At that time, they could slowly cultivate their feelings.

Her aunt’s words echoed in Li Rong’s ears at this time.

That’s right! A large part of why Li Rong had changed so much was Li Manya’s teachings.

Li Manya was quite familiar with Zhou Feng’s character.

Such a person was the type who clearly distinguished between gratitude and enmity.

If one wanted to pursue such a person, they must first establish a connection and then slowly interact.

After a long time, feelings would be formed.

For this, Li Rong to change and forcefully suppress her weak character.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. Oh right, this is a token. The Heavenly Star Mystic Realm will open seven days after the Heavenly Star Gathering!”

Li Rong also remembered what her aunt had said. There were times when a woman had to be reserved.

Thus, Li Rong spoke first without waiting for Zhou Feng to speak.

At the same time, she took out a piece of warm jade.

This piece of warm jade did not seem to have any gaudy patterns, giving off a very gentle feeling.

“Appraising Eye!”

Zhou Feng subconsciously used the Appraising Eye to appraise this piece of warm jade in front of him.

[Crystal Warm Jade: Only produced at the core of the Spirit Stone Vein. It has the effect of assisting in condensing the power of the nascent soul when equipped.]

[At the same time, it has the function of suppressing external evils and preventing the soul power from clashing.]

[This Crystal Warm Jade is usually found in a Spirit Stone Vein. There is only a tiny bit of it, and its value is high.]

This was because it was one of the very few spiritual objects that could assist in condensing a nascent soul.

Even after breaking through to the Purple Mansion or Divine Ability realm, this spiritual Crystal Warm Jade could assist in the cultivation of the soul.

The most useful thing was the ability to suppress external evils. Starting from the Purple Mansion realm, almost all of a cultivator’s energy would be focused on cultivating their own soul.

And during the process of cultivation, the soul was extremely vulnerable to external evils.

Many people had been attacked by external evils, causing their minds to split.

This spiritual Crystal Warm Jade was equivalent to putting armor on one’s soul.

‘So valuable!’

After Zhou Feng understood the preciousness of this piece of warm jade, he hesitated.

“Take it! What are you waiting for?”

Li Rong’s hands trembled slightly, and she deliberately put on a strange expression.

“Oh!”

Zhou Feng was not an indecisive person, and he instantly made up his mind to take the warm jade.

As soon as the warm jade entered his hand, a warm feeling spread throughout his entire body.

And it seemed to be because Li Rong wore it close to her body, and it also carried a hint of body fragrance.

“Alright! I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

After seeing Zhou Feng take the warm jade, Li Rong could not wait any longer and hurriedly left the private room.

“I owe you a huge favor!”

Zhou Feng wore the warm jade around his neck and did not put it into his storage ring.

Putting everything else aside, he did not know how to repay the favor he owed Li Rong.

However, he had finally found a solution to the Malevolent Earth Qi.

It was better for him to continue improving his strength!

As long as his strength increased, there would always be a chance to repay Li Rong.

There were still seven days before the Heavenly Star Secret Realm opened.

‘This Heavenly Star Secret Realm seems to be quite dangerous. In these seven days, I still need to quickly increase my strength…’

Besides Zhou Feng and Li Rong, many genius cultivators would enter the Heavenly Star Secret Realm, and most of them would be at the Purple Mansion realm.

Zhou Feng’s current strength was simply not enough to deal with such a situation.

Raising his strength was also imminent.

Now, because his cultivation had stagnated, Zhou Feng no longer had any place to continue raising his strength.

If he wanted to continue raising his strength, he could only use passive skills.

Thinking of this, Zhou Feng opened the skill panel again.

‘Wait! Why is this progress bar increasing?’

After opening the skill panel, he was completely stunned.

Because the progress bar on the skill panel was actually increasing.

Why? Why?

He didn’t seem to have changed much from before!

Could it be… that piece of warm jade?

If there was any change, it would be that Zhou Feng was wearing a piece of Crystal Warm Jade.

He touched the Crystal Warm Jade and looked at it.

Sure enough, he noticed that the originally bright Crystal Warm Jade was actually a little dim now.

It was as if a portion of the Spiritual Qi contained within had been sucked out.

‘This… Crystal Warm Jade can actually speed up the acquisition of passive skills!?’

Zhou Feng did not expect this Crystal Warm Jade to actually have such a function.

The progress bar on the skill panel was already full, and he could once again draw out passive skills.

Moreover, this Crystal Warm Jade seemed to have the function of gathering Spiritual Qi.

After it was sucked dry, the warm jade was actually slowly absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

If some time passed, Zhou Feng believed that it would be able to return to its previous state.

‘This thing…’

This kind of natural spiritual item was too powerful!

Zhou Feng might have never been able to get his hands on such a valuable piece of jade.

As such, he owed Li Rong even more.

‘Forget it, forget it! Let’s just draw a passive skill first!’

Zhou Feng didn’t want to think about it anymore. It was more important to draw a new passive skill now.

The passive skill that he drew previously could be said to be useless.

Now, he only hoped to draw a useful passive skill.

“Draw!”

“Drawing…”

Fighting Spirit: After entering combat mode, your strength will increase by 1% every 10 seconds. (The increase cannot exceed 30%)

‘Wow! Is this considered drawing a golden passive!?’

Zhou Feng’s eyes widened. This passive skill was too strong!

Every 10 seconds, the increase in strength would increase by 1%, and the maximum increase would be 30%.

In other words, he could increase his strength by 5 minutes without any side effects.

It was a simple and crude attribute enhancement!

Zhou Feng had cultivated the Human Emperor Scripture, which made his physical body shockingly powerful. His strength had reached a terrifying level a long time ago.

Now, coupled with this passive skill, he became more and more courageous as he fought.

He did not dare to imagine who would be able to withstand his punch in the future..
