Right after that, the cultivation progress bar before Chen Changqing's eyes vanished, replaced by three Little Golden Figures floating before him.
"Three Little Golden Figures?"
Chen Changqing's face was full of astonishment.
He had originally been agonizing over the fact that there was only one AFK Little Golden Figure. Of the three cultivation techniques, which one should he prioritize for AFK Cultivation?
Who would have thought that three Little Golden Figures would appear all at once?
What Chen Changqing found even more unbelievable was this.
At that moment, the three Little Golden Figures were each performing their own duties.
The first Little Golden Figure held a wooden sword, waving it through the air as it practiced the Sword Control Technique!
The second Little Golden Figure's fists moved like thunder, lightning flickering around them as it practiced the Thunderclap Divine Fist!
The third Little Golden Figure sat cross-legged, spiritual energy swirling around its body as it practiced the Nine Revolutions Qi Cultivation Technique!
"Holy shit! It can do that too?"
Chen Changqing's eyes widened, then he was overjoyed.
"This is awesome!"
"I don't have to worry about which cultivation technique to AFK Cultivate first anymore."
"Three techniques AFK Cultivating at once—the efficiency is maxed out!"
Chen Changqing was wildly excited.
But immediately afterward, doubts arose in his heart.
"If three cultivation techniques are AFK Cultivated at the same time, will it affect the cultivation speed of each one?"
"Or do they not conflict at all?"
"Besides that, can this AFK Cultivation System add even more cultivation techniques?"
"At most, how many cultivation techniques can be AFK Cultivated at once?"
"..."
For a time, Chen Changqing's thoughts became a tangled mess.
"Forget it."
"Better not think too much."
"Anyway, I don't have to put in any effort."
"I just need to wait and collect the AFK results."
After thinking it over, Chen Changqing let out a long breath and leisurely stood guard at the Mountain Gate.
Before he knew it, it was already the fourth quarter of the You hour.
Chen Changqing stretched, closed the Mountain Gate, and headed toward his residence.
After returning to his residence, he did not waste a word. He threw himself onto the bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and went straight to sleep!
For Chen Changqing—
Cultivation? Impossible!
There was no way he would cultivate in this lifetime!"
While Chen Changqing slept, Ran Hua silently arrived outside his window.
He had originally wanted to secretly see how Chen Changqing cultivated.
Why was he able to break through to the Qi Refining Realm so quickly?
Yet what Ran Hua never could have imagined, even in his dreams, was—
Through the narrow crack in the window, he saw that after Chen Changqing returned from closing the Mountain Gate, he had simply fallen into a deep sleep.
"This?"
"He's asleep?"
Ran Hua froze, his mind going blank.
"Could it be... Senior Brother Chen cultivates in his dreams?"
Suddenly, such a thought flashed through Ran Hua's mind.
But after giving it another thought, he could not help chuckling at himself and muttered quietly:
"I must have become obsessed with breaking through."
"How could anyone in this world cultivate while asleep?"
"Perhaps Senior Brother Chen's success really came from accumulated effort finally bursting forth."
Then Ran Hua helplessly shook his head and sighed before leaving in disappointment.
Time slipped away.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
On this day, Chen Changqing stretched and sat up from bed, yawning lazily.
"I've been AFK Cultivating for over a month."
"It's about time to claim the AFK results."
With that thought, Chen Changqing hurriedly communicated with the system.
"System, claim the AFK results!"
Very soon, the system's response sounded in his mind:
[Ding!] [AFK time: 30 days.] [Practiced Sword Control Technique ×300 times!] [Practiced Thunderclap Divine Fist ×300 times!] [Practiced Nine Revolutions Qi Cultivation Technique ×300 times!] [Extract AFK Cultivation results?]
"Extract!"
Without giving it much thought, Chen Changqing directly chose to extract them.
"Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, the three Little Golden Figures before him abruptly stopped.
Immediately after, three dazzling rays of golden light burst forth from the bodies of the three Little Golden Figures on the system panel and flooded into Chen Changqing's body in an instant!
As the AFK results of the Nine Revolutions Qi Cultivation Technique were extracted—
Chen Changqing's cultivation surged by leaps and bounds.
Originally at the first layer of Qi Refining, he broke through two realms in succession and stepped into the third layer of Qi Refining!
Within his dantian, Nine Thousand Essences flowed like a river of stars, more than three times that of an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator!
"One month of AFK Cultivating the Nine Revolutions Qi Cultivation Technique actually raised my cultivation straight to the third layer of Qi Refining!"
"With the support of a full Nine Thousand Essences."
"!"
Chen Changqing was so excited that his face flushed red.
At the same time, the extraction of the Sword Control Technique's AFK results caused all manner of control principles to flood into Chen Changqing's mind in an instant.
To Chen Changqing, those principles felt deeply branded into him, as though they had been innate.
The next moment, Chen Changqing raised a hand and waved.
A common iron sword in the room rose into the air, cold light glinting from its edge!
Chen Changqing was eager to try flying on his sword.
Yet what he had not expected was this.
As his spiritual energy flowed into it, the iron sword immediately began to hum and tremble.
Bang!
With a crisp crack, the iron sword shattered outright!
"Damn! This piece of junk can't withstand spiritual energy?"
Chen Changqing cried out in alarm.
Only then did he realize that the Sword Control Technique required a genuine Dharma Artifact for support. Ordinary mortal iron simply could not bear the circulation of spiritual energy!
In the cultivation world, magical artifacts were divided into four major grades:
Dharma Artifacts, Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Treasures, and Immortal Artifacts.
Dharma Artifacts were used by ordinary cultivators and were rather common.
Magical Artifacts, on the other hand, were considered fairly good Dharma Artifacts.
As for Spiritual Treasures, only cultivators at the Golden Core level and above generally possessed them.
And Immortal Artifacts, the highest grade—
As their name implied, they were treasures left behind by immortals.
They were usually treasures used to suppress an entire sect!
"Looks like I'll have to find a way to get myself a Dharma Artifact."
Chen Changqing muttered to himself. He had originally wanted to try sword flight and the like.
"Since sword flight won't work for now, I'll test the power of the Thunderclap Divine Fist instead."
The Thunderclap Divine Fist had also been included among the AFK results he had just extracted.
After a month of AFK Cultivation by the system, this fist technique had already achieved modest success.
With the extraction, all the principles for performing the Thunderclap Divine Fist entered Chen Changqing's mind.
At the same time, Chen Changqing instantly became familiar with the circulation paths of essence within his body when executing the fist technique, as though he had practiced it hundreds of times.
Chen Changqing did not remain in his room any longer. Instead, he went behind his residence.
Before him stood a small mountain peak.
"Hah!"
Chen Changqing took a deep breath, instantly gathering the Nine Thousand Essences within his body at his fist before unleashing them according to the principles of the Thunderclap Divine Fist.
Boom!
With one punch, thunderlight exploded!
Bang!
The next moment, the enormous boulder blocking Chen Changqing's path shattered in an instant.
In a flash, shattered rocks shot into the sky, and dust filled the heavens!
"Hiss..."
"This power—one punch could split a mountain!"
"Terrifying indeed!"
Even Chen Changqing himself was frightened by it.
