You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 216 - 216 183 Zhenzhen's Potential Ritual Possession

216: Chapter 183: Zhenzhen’s Potential, Ritual Possession 216: Chapter 183: Zhenzhen’s Potential, Ritual Possession After Zhang Yu returned to the apartment, he continued cultivating the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen.

Through the meticulous practice of the forty-nine movements, the eternal mana continuously stimulated the repair and regrowth of each piece of flesh, making Zhang Yu’s body, which had gradually withered under harsh cultivation and medication, feel like it was reborn.

Spring and Autumn Endless Zen Level 8 (36/80)

Though immersed in cultivation, his conversation with Yun Ni was definitely not without impact on Zhang Yu.

“Is the patrol team investigating the matters related to the Evil God?”

Yun Ni’s attention made Zhang Yu feel even more pressure.

Although Zhang Pianpian entrusted the other party to take care of him, he didn’t think they would still do so after discovering the secrets of the Evil God on him.

To handle the possible surveillance from the patrol team, Zhang Yu could only speed up the preparation of rituals, to acquire more counter-surveillance abilities and better information control.

Reflecting on Zhang Pianpian’s words, Zhang Yu sincerely sighed: “Controlling information, mastering information disparity, these are essential skills to climb higher in Kunxu.”

The next day, as various materials were gathered, Zhang Yu took Fu Ji and Bai Zhenzhen to a familiar abandoned building to begin Bai Zhenzhen’s wish ritual, along with their detection and counter-detection rituals.

Inside a room of the abandoned building.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen followed Fu Ji’s instructions to arrange the ritual site.

Fu Ji spoke confidently: “Rituals focus on offerings and scale; the better the offering, the better the effect, the higher the success rate, and the less likely True Gods will detect it.

Moreover, the larger the scale, the wider and farther the ritual’s effects reach.”

“In addition, there are altars, human-god mediums, spiritual mechanism artifacts, symbols of the Evil God, and incantations — all are fundamental elements, none can be missing…”

Meanwhile, the room was filled with red candles.

Fu Ji transformed back into a tattered doll, placed atop a brass-made altar.

Two phones filled with data traffic were placed beside Fu Ji, turning them into mediums transferring between human and god.

The rented Qi Sea Spirit Root became an excellent spiritual mechanism artifact, held in Fu Ji’s grasp.

As for Fu Ji herself, as the embodiment of the Evil God… she served as the most outstanding symbol of the Evil God.

Four antiques were placed in the four directions of the ritual, containing the incense fire wish power, waiting to be extracted by Fu Ji.

“Taiji Hades, shadows float and sink, myriad beings offered sincerely, incense fire wish power come!”

As Fu Ji pointed across the air, the antiques shattered one by one, releasing an invisible force that surged onto her body.

“Spiritual perception obscured, believers wander deluded, true and false indistinguishable, wish gathered in my pouch, swift as divine decree!”

As strands of dark golden divine power emerged above Fu Ji’s head, Bai Zhenzhen, within the ritual, stiffened all over, then was filled with the Evil God’s power flowing through her…

After a long while, as the ritual concluded, Bai Zhenzhen slowly opened her eyes, curiously examining her body.

“How is it?” Zhang Yu asked, “Azhen, are you alright?”

Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of electricity, then she laughed: “Yu Zi, is this what it feels like for potential to be awakened?”

“Is this the power that’s always been hidden within me?”

Silvery threads of electricity surged from Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes, then her entire body began to glow with rays of lightning.

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen’s hair rising amidst the flashes of lightning, Zhang Yu exclaimed: “What exactly has your potential awakened?”

Bai Zhenzhen opened her mouth, and rays of electricity appeared within: “It’s hard to say right now; I need more attempts to understand what precisely is going on.”

As the lightning faded, the strange phenomenon emerging from Bai Zhenzhen’s body gradually vanished.

About the detailed changes within her body, Bai Zhenzhen planned to explore it slowly after returning.

The immediate priority was to complete the remaining rituals.

As the two arranged in collaboration, they proceeded with both the detection ritual and the counter-detection ritual.

With the completion of the rituals, sigils flashed across Zhang Yu’s back, and he felt two distinctly different ritual powers successively within him.

When Zhang Yu activated the power belonging to the detection ritual, he felt a position flicker in the dark room, emitting a peculiar attraction in his sight, it was the surveillance camera they brought.

This surveillance camera was specially brought by Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen to test the detection ritual’s effects.

“So this is it.” Zhang Yu said as he looked at the camera faintly glowing in his view.

When he withdrew the detection ritual’s power, the camera shrouded back into darkness.

“As long as I activate the detection ritual’s power, I can directly see the camera’s location?”

Then Bai Zhenzhen placed the camera on the wall at a different spot.

By activating the detection ritual, they directly saw the camera behind the wall.

After several minutes of experimentation, Zhang Yu confirmed that once the detection ritual’s power is activated, he can detect cameras within a 30-meter radius, unaffected by ordinary obstacles.

“But just a few minutes consumed nearly half of the detection ritual’s power.”

“Fortunately, after completing the detection ritual, it automatically draws strength from the divine power network to recover, as long as it’s in a network environment.”

“If you calculate it, you get about 10 minutes of detection time per day.”

To Zhang Yu, 10 minutes doesn’t seem long, but it’s enough for detection.

Next, the two picked up the detection patches they had prepared in advance, intending to test the power of the counter-detection ritual.

It was seen that Zhang Yu, whose mana should have surpassed 90 units, detected only 85 units at this moment.

Even when Zhang Yu continued to activate the power of the counter-detection ritual, the mana detection data dropped to as low as 50 units.

“The counter-detection ritual can indeed be maintained for an hour every day.”

“It can hide the detection data of mana and physical strength.”

Zhang Yu said with satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad, this way I don’t have to be so flamboyant in the upcoming monthly exam.”

Seeing their satisfied expressions, Fu Ji proudly said, “How about it?

Wasn’t I right?

These two rituals are greatly beneficial to you.”

“This is how the rituals of the Evil God are.

If you want to make big money in the future, want to develop in the dark tutoring industry, or even make achievements in fraud, smuggling, business warfare, and other fields, the stronger the ritual power on your body, the better.”

Zhang Yu knew that Fu Ji said these things just to hope that he would assist her in continuing to elevate her position and increase her strength so that more rituals could be activated.

Like the four antiques consumed in the ritual just now, Zhang Yu strongly suspected that Fu Ji had made a false claim about the number of antiques needed and had supplemented herself with more Evil God power.

But for now, it seems like a win-win situation, and Zhang Yu was too lazy to argue with her.

At this moment, hearing Fu Ji’s words, Zhang Yu asked, “How many rituals can you maintain now?”

Fu Ji said, “I can maintain a total of 10 rituals now.”

“Subtracting the wish ritual, detection ritual, and counter-detection ritual on you two, then you can still support 4 rituals.”

“But you don’t need to rush, the remaining rituals are not cheap to consume.

You can leave them empty for now and choose the rituals as needed later.”

Zhang Yu then asked, “So what should we do to allow you to maintain more rituals?”

Fu Ji chuckled and said, “There are two ways: either devour the positions of other colleagues, with each step closer to Level 2 Evil God, I can maintain more rituals.”

“Or steal the authority of a True God, but you don’t need to consider this for now.”

“In short, as long as my position continues to rise, you can also possess stronger and stronger ritual blessings, and one day you’ll be able to break free from the outside limitations, living a life with cultivation freedom and financial freedom.”

“Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you’re just serving the ten great sects.”

Afterward, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen packed up and returned to their apartment near Purple Cloud High School.

Upon entering the apartment building, Zhang Yu tried to activate the detection ritual and immediately saw the surveillance cameras inside the building.

And after entering the apartment room, he activated the detection ritual once more.

Although he and Bai Zhenzhen had already checked once before, he again used the power of the detection ritual to thoroughly check back and forth.

Only after not seeing any cameras in the room did he feel more at ease.

Next, Bai Zhenzhen continuously tried her body’s changes, gradually understanding what she could do with her stimulated potential.

Her mana carried a lightning attribute, becoming a special mana.

With the blessing of this special mana, she found that the effects of performing Lightning Step and training her Thunderstorm True Body were greatly improved.

Especially during the operation of mana, which continuously stimulated her muscles and nervous system, greatly enhancing her reactions, speed, agility, and explosiveness.

Besides, she felt that if she practiced similar cultivation techniques, the results would be twice as effective with half the effort.

Finally…

Zhang Yu watched as Bai Zhenzhen inserted her fingers into an electrical socket, electricity flashing all over her body, and heard her laugh: “Yu Zi!

Look, I can replenish mana by charging and even get a body refinement effect!

I can grow stronger just by charging from now on!”

“Once my true spirit root adapts to this new cultivation method, the efficiency will surely be higher…”

Zhang Yu first nodded slightly but then suddenly changed his expression and looked sharply at their electricity meter.

Seeing the meter spinning wildly, Zhang Yu hurriedly shouted, “Stop!

Stop right now!”

“If you keep cultivating like this, Le Mulan might kick us out of the apartment.”

Bai Zhenzhen reluctantly pulled her fingers out of the socket: “Okay, okay.”

“Then I’ll steal electricity to cultivate at school tomorrow.”

“Haha, during the process of stealing electricity, it’s just right to use the detection ritual to avoid surveillance cameras…”

With the ritual matters satisfactorily completed, Zhang Yu then focused his attention back on his own cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed, and with the operation of the eternal mana, Zhang Yu felt his physical body becoming purer, while the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen saw another breakthrough.
