I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Three poles in the sun.

There is an endless stream of people coming and going in Lingshi Pavilion. This is the place where Tiansang Linggong handles all kinds of trivial matters for the disciples of the outer courtyard. It is so big that it has 108 directors.

"Hello, senior brother."

"Hello, Senior Brother Xu."

"Senior brother, morning... uh, good afternoon?"

Xu Xiaoshou walked along with his sword on his back. There were some he knew and some he was unfamiliar with. Anyway, he was senior and there was no need to call people. He only had to nod.

Entering Lingshi Pavilion is like entering a vegetable market, bustling with people.

Most of the people here came to sign up for the "Wind and Cloud Hegemony". After all, if they don't sign up, they will be regarded as abstaining.

If you abstain from voting for three years, you will be kicked out of the palace. Of course, the same is true for kneeling for three years.

A very small number of people don't want to lose face by participating in the competition, so they come directly to apply to become deacons in the secular world and wait to die.

The one hundred and eight director slots were basically occupied. Xu Xiaoshou went straight to director slot No. 1, but there was no one there.

"really!"

In my memory, the other directors are some disciples from the outer courtyard who have sufficient qualifications to handle affairs. Only director number one is the one who is responsible for the management of the elders of Lingshi Pavilion.

This Elder Qiao is good at everything, except that he never deviates from his training, so others would rather line up than provoke him.

Xu Xiaoshou has a very good relationship with this elder, mainly because his potential has reached the end and Elder Qiao doesn't bother to train him.

After all, this is a man who, despite all his efforts, still cannot break through the four realms.

Entering the door, Elder Qiao was dozing off. Xu Xiaoshou quietly walked over and clasped the table with his knuckles, "Wake up!"

Elder Qiao, who was lying on the back of the seat with his lips slightly open, was startled. He didn't even wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth and slapped him. Xu Xiaoshou ducked down very deftly and said, "Young boy!"

"It's Xiaoshou... um, Xu Xiaoshou?"

When Elder Qiao saw the person clearly, he suddenly lost all sleep and had a look of surprise on his face, "Aren't you in retreat? Are you not dead?"

There are several black lines on Xu Xiaoshou's forehead. I dare not break through, right? I have to become a corpse to meet your old expectations?

"He's dead, he's pretending to be a corpse!" he said angrily.

Elder Qiao smiled coquettishly, pointed at the people outside and said, "Are you also planning to leave here and become a deacon outside?"

"What kind of deacon is it? Isn't it good to be in the top ten of the list?" Xu Xiaoshou retorted.

"Just you?" Elder Qiao suddenly burst into laughter and his body was shaking violently.

He was really bored in the outer courtyard, so Xu Xiaoshou dared to talk to him like this, and only in front of Xu Xiaoshou would he put down some of his airs and smile wildly.

"When ridiculed, passive value, +1."

ridicule?

A new continent has opened again!

Xu Xiaoshou chuckled. It seemed like what he thought. As long as he was passive enough, his passive value would continue to flow.

"What? Don't you believe that my strength will be greatly improved after I close the death barrier?"

Elder Qiao was wiping his saliva with a tissue. After wiping, he picked up the cup and rinsed his mouth. The corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

"Under suspicion, passive value, +1."

Xu Xiaoshou was amused. He continued to flick his sleeves and said with a serious expression: "To tell you the truth, I, Mr. Xu, have already achieved a breakthrough in innateness!"

"Pfft!" Elder Qiao spurted out a mouthful of water.

Seeing Xu Xiaoshou's serious expression, he couldn't hold it in any longer, and his devilish laughter echoed throughout the Lingshi Pavilion, "Hehe, hehe, hehe..."

"I can't survive Xu Xiaoshou, this expression... you are so funny." He wiped his tears with the tissue he used to wipe his saliva.

"Praised, passive value, +1."

Xu Xiaoshou: "..."

praise?

God praises you so much. This is sarcasm. Brother, this system is poisonous. I feel like you are making things out of thin air!

Outside, the disciples whose ears were penetrated by the demonic sound also craned their necks to look over, trying to find out.

"Damn it, whose laughter is so magical!"

"Keep your voice down, you don't know Elder Qiao's laughter. Do you want to be scolded?"

"Who is so awesome that he can amuse Elder Qiao?"

"I don't know, let's see?"

These guys were so curious that they stopped lining up. Anyway, committing a crime in a group is not a crime, so they all came to the door of Director No. 1 in disguise.

"Uh...is it Xu Xiaoshou? Isn't he in retreat?"

"Wow, you are very well-informed. I heard that he has broken through the four realms and left the border!"

"Tsk, tsk, you're not that good either. I heard yesterday that he has arrived in the Fifth Realm."

"Nonsense, I heard it's the Seventh Realm."

"Eight Realms!"

"He just said inside that he was born with congenital..."

As the last weak voice fell, the whole hall fell silent, and the onlookers looked sideways at the speaker, "I believe you are a ghost!"

When Elder Qiao saw a group of people at the door, he suddenly felt dizzy. He realized that his laughter had caused this crowd of onlookers. He immediately walked out of the room and shouted: "What are you looking at? Tell me your name!"

"Hey, Elder Qiao, calm down, calm down!" Everyone waved their hands and dispersed like birds and beasts.

Xu Xiaoshou inside was already holding his head and was overjoyed. He looked at the constantly updated news in the information column:

"Under suspicion, passive value, +42."

"Under suspicion, passive value, +31."

"Under suspicion, passive value, +16."

"Under suspicion, passive value, +3."

There were about a few hundred people in the Lingshi Pavilion, and there were dozens of people watching. Elder Qiao's wave of laughter harvested more passive points than he had before combined.

This first wave of passive value should be sent by the onlookers. Is it the information that is passed on later, or is it a second wave of suspicion?

Xu Xiaoshou discovered that each person can only give a little passive value at most. If he wants to get more at once, there is only one condition:

There are so many people!

He imagined that if he shouted "I am an innate master" in a crowd of 10,000 people, would he gain 10,000 passive points in an instant?

Well, he might also be beaten to death as a lunatic, although what he said seems to be true.

"Why are you giggling?" Elder Qiao closed the door, turned around and sat down in his exclusive seat.

"without!"

Xu Xiaoshou came back to his senses and said, "I forgot to talk about serious matters. I'm here to sign up for the 'Wind and Cloud Championship'."

"Aren't you afraid of embarrassment?"

As Elder Qiao spoke, he took out a cyan token from the drawer and put it against his forehead to enter the information.

Xu Xiaoshou rolled his eyes. Sure enough, he still didn't believe in himself. Am I really gifted? What a shame!

He sighed, there was nothing he could do, the life of a genius was again accompanied by criticism and doubt.

"The four realms of spirit refining?" Elder Qiao asked.

Xu Xiaoshou thought for a while, decided not to struggle anymore, and nodded.

"Give!"

Taking the cyan token from Elder Qiao, Xu Xiaoshou put it on his forehead and quickly read the message inside:

Xu Xiaoshou, Four Realms of Spiritual Refining, Group 12, No. 1130.

More than a thousand people...

Although he had expected it, Xu Xiaoshou was still secretly speechless.

Every year, there are thousands of contestants in the "Wind and Cloud Competition". Whether you have been practicing in the outer academy for one year, two years, or three years, as long as you are a disciple of the outer academy, you must participate.

Those at the bottom of the ranking will generally be sent away directly if they do not perform well after being decided by the elders in the spiritual palace.

Elder Qiao is indispensable to Xu Xiaoshou's ability to stay till now.

But he can be saved for a while, but not forever. If he remains at the bottom for three consecutive years, Elder Qiao alone will definitely not be able to save him.

However, this seems to be no longer a problem now!

Xu Xiaoshou put away the token, raised his eyebrows at Elder Qiao, and then rubbed his hands, "Elder Qiao, where is my spiritual crystal..."

His first purpose here was to sign up, and his second purpose was, of course, to get back his training subsidy.

Counting the two months before and after, he had twenty spiritual crystals stored here but not taken away. Ever since he bought the "Tibetan Ku", he was penniless. Although twenty was not much, mosquito meat was still meat, wasn't it?

"You're the only one who's smart!"

Elder Qiao laughed and cursed, and counted twenty spiritual crystals from the drawer. With a flick of his hand, he found another pill bottle and put it on the table together.

"This is..." Xu Xiaoshou was surprised. Those who could serve in the Lingshi Pavilion were all famous, let alone Elder Qiao. How could he get an extra bottle of elixir for him?

"Private funding, don't tell anyone about it!"

Elder Qiao said sternly, pushing the spiritual crystal and elixir bottle over, his expression suddenly became melancholy, "I can't say I won't be able to see you in the future..."

Xu Xiaoshou's heart warmed up and he quickly put away his things. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, even if I get kicked out of Tiansang Spiritual Palace, I will come back to see you!"

"Ah!"

Elder Qiao was delighted, "Can you come in?"

"Okay, you can't be kicked out."

"hope so!"

Seeing Xu Xiaoshou happily walking out of the Lingshi Pavilion, Elder Qiao put away the melancholy in his eyes, frowned and muttered: "I didn't expect this kid to be able to break through, it's amazing."

"Fortunately, he probably didn't know about selling his information. This pill can be considered compensation..."

He crossed his fingers and said, "Well, ten times the profit, I won't lose money this time!"
