[ Ding! While cultivating, the host slacked off! ] [ Reward: one thousand years of cultivation! ]

The system prompt sounded once more.

Lin Chuan immediately felt much more spirited. Although this was not the time to casually raise his strength, receiving a reward meant his purse was growing fuller and fuller.

This was great news!

Moreover, he discovered that this system seemed to have loopholes as well.

He had clearly already slacked off during cultivation before, yet this time, he received another reward.

Practically the same reward!

This instantly brightened his heart beyond measure.

"This..."

"Can I fleece the sheep like this? Not only is it the same achievement, but the reward is the same too. Still, logically speaking, there should be some sort of time interval."

"If I could keep fleecing it forever, I would have gained countless tens of thousands of years of cultivation long ago. Yet after such a long time, it only remembered to give me one now."

"There may be a certain cooldown."

Lin Chuan pondered this to himself, deciding that this was exactly what he had to do from now on.

He had to slack off properly.

Besides, he could also see whether he could quickly obtain rewards. That was the true standard for increasing his strength.

Mm~

Although he wanted to leave the Sect of Interception as soon as possible, that did not mean he did not want to thoroughly study this system. This was the foundation upon which he could truly establish himself.

The golden finger of a transmigrator.

Preferential treatment!

Time quietly flowed by.

Another day passed.

[ Ding! While cultivating, the host slacked off! ] [ Reward: Mastery of Cultivation Methods! ]

At that moment, Lin Chuan was utterly shocked. If the previous reward had merely been cultivation, he could still consider it understandable.

But now, this so-called Mastery of Cultivation Methods!

That was simply insanely awesome!

He was not bragging. Mastery of Cultivation Methods was truly miraculous. If he used it, he could instantly learn a profoundly mysterious cultivation method.

This...

Would absolutely have miraculous effects!

What was more, he vaguely noticed a minor side benefit within it: after learning a cultivation method, there would be a certain period during which his comprehension ability could be enhanced.

If he used that to cultivate those ten Profound Cultivation Methods, would they not be as easy as reaching out and taking them?

Although he wanted to slack off, that did not mean he did not want such Profound Cultivation Methods. Besides, he faintly had a thread of ominous foreboding.

If he failed to complete Sect Master Tongtian's task, he would definitely shed a layer of skin!

[Tongtian, this old scoundrel, actually gave me such an unreasonable task. Who could possibly complete it?]

[He's definitely trying to make trouble for me. This old scoundrel is bad to the bone!]

[Utterly detestable!]

Lin Chuan silently grumbled to himself. Sometimes, if he did not vent like this, his mood simply would not feel smooth.

He felt terribly stifled.

At this moment, after silently grumbling, his emotions gradually settled down, and he felt much more at ease.

Especially when he saw this reward, he immediately felt that cultivating methods would be as effortless as raising his strength—as simple as eating and drinking.

"This feels amazing!"

"I don't need to cultivate at all! Not only my own realm, but even Profound Cultivation Methods are as easy as reaching out and taking them for me!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Lin Chuan was wildly excited.

He immediately selected Mastery of Cultivation Methods and used it at once, choosing the Eight-Nine Profound Art without the slightest hesitation.

After all, there was no need to choose. To him, all of these Profound Cultivation Methods would sooner or later fall into his hands; it was merely a matter of sooner or later.

There was no need to worry.

There was no need to distinguish primary from secondary. As for mastering cultivation methods, this let him instantly learn a Profound Cultivation Method, and it even came with an auxiliary function afterward.

That was to enhance his comprehension. It could instantly increase his comprehension severalfold, allowing him to directly use it to cultivate other Profound Cultivation Methods.

It was simply a perfect match!

In an instant, he had already learned the Eight-Nine Profound Art.

In the eyes of others, this was an exceptionally profound cultivation method. Without spending hundreds of thousands of years, it would be exceedingly difficult to cultivate it successfully. Yet he had mastered it in merely a few seconds.

A faint glimmer even flashed across his body.

Zhao Gongming, cultivating nearby, was startled.

After all, once he learned that Lin Chuan wished to keep a low profile and conceal his strength, he had truly come to admire him. He had originally intended to imitate him as well.

But then he laughed at himself.

He felt that he was merely drawing a tiger by copying a cat, and besides, his strength absolutely did not permit it. That was why he had honestly focused on cultivation. Yet at this very moment, the instant Lin Chuan's aura spread out—

He immediately stopped cultivating.

His eyes shone with dazzling light.

"Just as I thought!"

"Senior Brother Lin really has been cultivating in silence. I knew Senior Brother Lin could never waste his talent. He must be cultivating in a way that no one else knows about."

"Too powerful!"

"That fleeting aura just now must mean Senior Brother has made a breakthrough."

"Just as I thought—I guessed right!"

"Senior Brother is simply too low-key. He clearly possesses such formidable strength, and he cultivates through such extraordinary means that no one can detect him at all."

"Too low-key!"

"Truly far too low-key!"

Zhao Gongming sighed inwardly, while also feeling deeply shaken. How long had he even been cultivating? Yet he had already made such a breakthrough.

Beyond shock, there was only yearning!

If he possessed such talent too, then no matter how unlucky he was, he could never have remained among the Outer Sect Disciples all this time.

Fortunately, his luck was not bad. He had now become an Inner Sect Disciple.

That was a blessing amid misfortune.

What was more, he had encountered Senior Brother Lin.

A faint trace of admiration showed in his eyes, growing ever stronger. At first, it had only been speculation—or perhaps self-persuasion—and he had still harbored the slightest doubt.

But now, things were different.

He had personally sensed the change in Lin Chuan's aura. Though he did not know exactly what it was, it was enough to fill him with awe.

The admiration in his eyes grew even stronger.

"Senior Brother Lin is too strong!"

"I wonder just how powerful Senior Brother Lin would be if he truly went all out. He possesses such tremendous strength, yet acts so low-key."

"Rare, truly rare. If any other senior brothers or senior sisters possessed Senior Brother Lin's level of cultivation, they would have long since become so smug that they forgot themselves."

"People truly cannot be compared. Once they are compared, the difference between high and low becomes clear."

Zhao Gongming silently shook his head. Although quite a few Personal Disciples were also extremely formidable, In his eyes, compared to Senior Brother Lin, they were simply a bunch of trash.
