Chapter 174

"Looking at you like this, the Power of Luck should be recoverable, right...?"

Bai Zhou asked in a low voice.

This was also a problem he was worried about; if it couldn't be recovered, he would have suffered a huge loss.

"Hmph hmph... of course it can be recovered, but it will take several months..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion sniffled and wiped the white... ice cream from the corner of her mouth, though she still looked extremely aggrieved and sad.

"As long as it can be recovered, that's fine. How about this: you stay with me during this time, I'll double your daily rations, and then I'll set aside time every week to take you shopping, pet you, and bathe you..."

Bai Zhou let out a sigh of relief, and then offered his own compensation.

"Hmph hmph, not enough! Snacks must be at least three... no! Five times! At least five times the rations to soothe my wounded soul!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion stretched out her claws, holding up four claws on the left, and then held up one more on the right...

"Five times is too much, are you trying to squeeze me dry? Three times is the limit."

Bai Zhou shook his head, tucked the claw on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's right side back in, and then tucked one back in on the left.

"Four times! Any less... I... I won't forgive you!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion forcefully popped out the fourth claw and said angrily.

Without four times the snacks, it was completely impossible to soothe her wounded soul! "Alright, alright, four times it is~"

Bai Zhou pretended to be in a difficult position and gritted his teeth to agree, but in reality, he was overjoyed inside.

Never mind four times, even forty or four hundred times would be a breeze for him.

Being able to soothe the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with just this little bit of resources was definitely a huge profit.

And this meant that he could continue to fleece her next time.

It was just a pity... he seemed to have fleeced her a bit too hard this time. If he wanted to get this many treasures again next time, he would have to wait at least a month to let the Three-Eyed Golden Lion recover a little before fleecing her again.

After Bai Zhou finished speaking, he waved his hand casually.

He instantly condensed a large amount of snacks and dumped them all onto the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head.

"I've expended too much today, so I'll pay today's four times first, and tomorrow I'll advance you the next few days' worth."

Bai Zhou feigned exhaustion.

"Hmph hmph... fine, seeing as you've apologized so sincerely, I'll reluctantly forgive you..." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion dove into the pile of snacks and said while rolling around.

"However..." Suddenly, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion thought of something, stared fixedly at Bai Zhou with her golden pupils, and said, "Next time, you are not allowed to use that kind of thing that consumes luck, otherwise... otherwise I'll be really angry!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion said furiously.

She actually didn't dare to tell Bai Zhou that the binding between them could not be undone.

If she really said it, then given human greed, her luck would definitely be squeezed dry!

Although she didn't know what method Bai Zhou used to consume so much luck, she felt Bai Zhou's aura skyrocket, clearly having gained unimaginable benefits from it.

"Alright, alright, alright~"

Bai Zhou nodded repeatedly in agreement.

However, with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion saying this, he had actually already guessed that this thing was likely a mutual binding that could not be undone.

But Bai Zhou didn't continue to fleece her; after all, having just harvested the leeks, he definitely had to let her recover a bit...

At worst, he could just use other treasures to coax her next time.

With the Wishing System, fooling a Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still a breeze.

After simply soothing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's little mood, Bai Zhou accompanied her to drink dozens of bottles of delicious high-concentration fruit wine, which finally calmed her down.

Bai Zhou returned to his room, repaired the door that had been kicked to pieces by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and then continued to take stock of this harvest.

First was the newly acquired cultivation method, the "Yi Mu Chang Chun Gong." This was a wood-attribute cultivation method that Bai Zhou had coveted for a long time; after all, his martial soul attribute could barely be called wood-attribute, focusing on life force.

Although the skill points were slightly off, turning into the poison system...

The foundation was still the life system, and it wouldn't be too late to get a poison-system method when there was an opportunity in the future. Cultivation methods and martial arts were treasures that provided dimensional strikes in this world.

The content of the cultivation method had already been transmitted into Bai Zhou's mind, and with his current comprehension, he could enter the threshold just by taking a look.

Bai Zhou simply tried to circulate it...

The next moment, a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy instantly gathered toward Bai Zhou, among which the wood-attribute Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was the most concentrated.

Bai Zhou's Blue Silver Emperor martial soul emerged involuntarily, slowly stretching out, greedily absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

Bai Zhou simply felt it and discovered that just by entering the threshold, his cultivation speed had increased by about ten times, directly hitting the upper limit! Ten times was not the limit of the cultivation method, but the limit of this world.

If Bai Zhou were weak, increasing his cultivation speed by dozens of times would be no problem at all; when he dual-cultivated with Ma Xiaotao, his cultivation speed had reached 30 times.

But now, Bai Zhou's strength was powerful, and the cultivation required a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy; with ten times the cultivation speed, he could completely drain the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within a hundred-meter radius in just a short moment.

However, if he went to a treasure land like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the cultivation speed should be able to skyrocket by dozens or even a hundred times.

"Ten times, barely acceptable..." Bai Zhou took a deep breath and stopped cultivating.

After all, this was still Shrek City; if the cultivation commotion was too big, it would definitely attract the attention of a Titled Douluo.

He didn't care, but if the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were caught, that would be a huge mess...

Bai Zhou rested for a moment, then began to check the second cultivation method, the "Savage Body Tempering Art."

Although he didn't know what level of body tempering method this was, it was definitely much higher-level than the "Domineering Body Technique" he was practicing.

Because as Bai Zhou's physique became stronger, the "Domineering Body Technique" provided less and less help to him.

It was far less than the system's physique rewards.

Now that he had a higher-level method, under Bai Zhou's circulation, his physical fitness began to grow again.

The cultivation method of the body tempering art was very brutal: it involved absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, making it circulate in a specific way, and causing it to constantly impact the bones and muscles of the whole body to achieve the effect of body tempering.

Ordinary body-refining Soul Masters needed to endure bitter physical training for dozens of hours every day.

But Bai Zhou's cultivation method was actually equivalent to "AFK cultivation"; as long as the method was circulating, the body was constantly being exercised and strengthened.

Of course, the prerequisite was that it required a large amount of Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Treasures to assist.

Bai Zhou now needed to consume hundreds or even thousands of Gold Soul Coins worth of Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Treasures every day, throwing money madly, and his daily physical improvement was also very considerable.

The last golden reward was a martial art—the "Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger."

It should have been stolen by the system from some fantasy world.

It was somewhat similar to his "Eight Extremities Collapse," but far more powerful than it.

Eight Extremities Collapse was only suitable for close-range attacks, and it required continuous hand-to-hand combat to achieve maximum output; it counted as an ordinary stacking skill, with powerful might and very little consumption.

But the prerequisite was possessing a very powerful physical body...

And this "Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger" was equivalent to a long-range ultimate move.

The power was extremely fierce.

The special effects were damn cool!

It was just that the soul power consumption was extremely high.

It could be considered a type of "self-created soul skill."

However, with Bai Zhou's current soul power reserves, poking a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th finger should still be possible...
