Chapter 189: Passive: Excellent Offspring
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Heavenly Star City, the Li Clan was a golden name.
As long as one lived nearby, one would have heard of the Li Clan’s reputation.
Putting aside everything else, just the fact that the Li Clan possessed a Spirit Stone Vein was enough to make people fear them.
Becoming the son-in-law of the Li Clan was a supreme honor!
How could this be…
Second Steward Li’s head was about to burst, and he didn’t know what to do next.
‘Could it be that he wants to start the price from the ground up?’
Thinking about it, Second Steward Li felt that Zhou Feng very likely wanted to bargain.
But thinking about it, it wasn’t right. Could this person be certain that the Li Clan would choose him as their son-in-law?
If it weren’t for the special circumstances now, if it were before, a vagabond cultivator like Zhou Feng would have no way to win the favor of the noble daughter of the Li Clan.
The problem now was how to give account to the old master.
Second Steward Li Thought for a moment. ‘It’s better to report truthfully!’
It was naturally impossible to force Zhou Feng’s actions. After all, his Li Clan still cared about their face.
Forcing a vagabond cultivator? The Li Clan’s face would be completely lost.
This kid actually dared to look down on the Li Clan. Li Rong’s admirers could simply spit on him and drown him if they were to hear that!
The Li Clan had made a grave mistake!
They didn’t expect Zhou Feng to be such a weirdo. Such a good thing had come to his doorstep, yet he didn’t accept it.
This would be a huge blow to Li Rong.
But the more this was the case, the more the Li Clan couldn’t make a move. If the Li Clan made a move, it would be tantamount to having no tolerance. Also, they had to say that Zhou Feng didn’t meet the Li Clan’s standards.
In any case, the Li Clan’s higher-ups had basically not expressed their stance.
What was there to be proud of for a mere vagabond cultivator/
Thinking of this, Second Steward Li directly turned around and left.
‘He rejected! He actually rejected!’
Wei Gang, who was hiding at the side, concentrated on restraining his own aura to avoid being discovered by the Li Clan.
Just now, Wei Gang had personally witnessed the scene of Zhou Feng refusing to become the Li Clan’s visiting son-in-law.
A fool? As expected from a Bitter Bamboo disciple! He rejected such a good thing!
Such a beauty had delivered herself to him! All he had to do was nod his head, and he would be able to make her his!
How could he reject such a beauty?
At the same time, this was equivalent to directly offending Li Clan.
The Li Clan did not even need to act personally. They could directly crush Zhou Feng to death!
Wei Gang, who had been in Heavenly Star City for some time, completely understood how terrifying the Li Clan was.
Not to mention anything else, just the Li Clan’s guards alone could destroy the Tri-Gu Sect.
Originally, Wei Gang wanted to manipulate Zhou Feng to use the Li Clan’s strength to take back the sect’s base.
But now that he had offended the Li Clan, Zhou Feng could not even protect himself.
‘No! I have to take advantage of the Li Clan to extract some benefits before they make a move!’
Wei Gang wanted to get some benefits before Zhou Feng died.
In his eyes, since Zhou Feng had slapped the Li Clan’s face, he was practically a dead man.
Thus, he had to get some benefits before Zhou Feng died.
Obviously, after leaving the Tri-Gu Sect, Zhou Feng had stumbled upon many fortuitous encounters and had many good things.
‘But I still have to be careful.’
Wei Gang recalled Zhou Feng’s terrifying strength in the morning, directly overpowering Wang Shu.
If he were not careful, he would lose his life.
After all, Wei Gang was a Soul Altar cultivator, and all of his cultivation focused on the Gu in his hand.
Wei Gang took out a small Gu and slowly placed it on the ground.
Then, he slowly left this street.
That small Gu was a Communication Gu. It could make a slight sound, and only those who had cultivated the Tri-Gu Sect’s cultivation techniques could hear it.
Wei Gang planned to lure Zhou Feng out of Heavenly Star City and then gather with his other Senior Brothers to surround and kill Zhou Feng outside.
For safety reasons, Wei Gang even planned to wait for a period to activate the Communication Gu and then lure Zhou Feng into the trap step by step.
…
Zhou Feng could not help but ridicule in his heart. ‘Is there something wrong with this Li Clan? They actually came to me and asked me if I wanted to be their son-in-law?”
The Li Clan’s actions were simply inexplicable in his eyes.
And that inexplicable arrogance also made him uncomfortable.
‘Forget it. I should be more peaceful for now. Let’s wait for the Heavenly Star Gathering!”
Zhou Feng casually opened the skill panel and found that he could draw new passive skills.
So fast? It seemed like it hadn’t been much time since he had last drawn one!
Could it be because of the Human Emperor Scripture?
Zhou Feng had already figured out the pattern. As long as his strength or cultivation level increased, the progress bar would increase rapidly.
Today, he had almost been able to enter the Purple Mansion realm. The Blood Qi in his entire body had been condensed once again.
His strength had increased quite a bit, which was why the progress bar was full.
“Draw!”
“Drawing…”
“Drawing complete!”
Excellent Offspring: Your success rate in producing offspring has decreased! However, your offspring has an extremely high chance of inheriting your aptitude, innate divine abilities, and cultivation base!
And there is a 1% chance that your offspring’s aptitude will surpass your talent.
Before long, a brand new passive skill appeared.
‘What the hell Is this!?!?’
When he saw this passive skill, his head was basically filled with question marks.
‘What b*llsh*t passive skill is this?
‘Excellent Offspring? The success rate of producing offspring is reduced? Able to inherit aptitude, innate ability, and even cultivation?’

Simply put, in the future, if he had a dao partner, it would be very difficult to conceive.
But as long as she could conceive and give birth, the offspring would definitely be a genius!
This was Zhou Feng’s understanding of this passive skill.
‘It was completely useless! What’s the use of this passive skill!?’
He could not think of any use for this passive skill because giving birth was basically impossible given his situation.
Severing love and achieving the Dao was Zhou Feng’s pursuit.

‘Forget it… There’s no loss anyway.’
Zhou Feng did not think too much about it. After all, this passive skill did not have any side effects.
‘Just leave it there! Maybe I will change my mind and get married and have children in the future.
‘Having another passive skill is always a good thing.’
Just as he was about to continue cultivating the Human Emperor Scripture, a faint cry made his whole body tense up.
“This is… the sound of a Gu?”
That extremely faint sound could not be hidden from him.
This sound was very familiar, and he seemed to have heard it before when he was in the Tri-Gu Sect.
‘Tri-Gu Sect!?’
Zhou Feng’s whole body tensed up as he restrained his aura.
He quickly discovered the Gu on the street following that faint sound.
Moreover, there was a mark of the Tri-Gu Sect.
‘Is this for me to go out of the city? The people of the Tri-Gu Sect actually found me here?’
He smelled a trace of danger.
They were clearly luring him out of the city.
Logically speaking, Zhou Feng didn’t need to go out at all. As long as he stayed in Heavenly Star City, even if the Tri-Gu Sect found out that he was here, what could they do?
Could it be that the Tri-Gu Sect dared to cause trouble in Heavenly Star City?
But for some reason, he just wanted to go and take a look.

‘The Tri-Gu Sect should be fighting against the Voodoo Cult, so it should be impossible for an Elder to be here. In other words, the enemy is at most in the Soul Altar realm!’
Zhou Feng analyzed for a moment and felt that the one who discovered him should be a Tri-Gu disciple.
Heavenly Star City was far away from the Tri-Gu Sect, and they would definitely not send an Elder here due to the sect’s current predicament.
If that were the case, then the situation would be different.
