"So many?"
Xu Xiaoshou was startled.
The Passive Value had been used up last time. How had it secretly increased by so much after he looked away for only a little while? Did it reproduce on its own?
"No... back then, at the Zhang Residence..."
Xu Xiaoshou realized that this must have been collected at the Zhang Residence.
After the pill furnace explosion, he had neither the mood nor the attention to spare for the growth of his Passive Value.
Yet the Zhang Residence alone had no small number of spirit cultivators within it.
Not to mention Wintergreen Street, where the Zhang Residence stood, was practically filled with the wealthy and powerful.
Though they could not compare to the Zhang Clan, when all those small families and minor factions were added together, the number of spirit cultivators was still extraordinarily considerable.
Whenever a battle broke out, fear was fear, but who would not look up in terror? Going by the lowest market estimate, one family had a hundred spirit cultivators.
All it took was ten families, with every person contributing ten points of "Admired," and that... would already be ten thousand!
"Damn!"
Xu Xiaoshou was shocked by his own calculation. How could it be this exaggerated? By that count, these eighty thousand Passive Value had come a little too cheaply!
"That furnace explosion, the sword strike afterward, and all that time I spent floating in the air showing off—how could that possibly have yielded only eighty thousand Passive Value?"
Xu Xiaoshou felt that someone had been secretly skimming off his Passive Value! But once he calmed down...
No one had been watching when the furnace exploded!
By the time those people reacted, the explosion was already over.
And what had truly drawn the crowd's attention had been near the end
