"Zhao Gongming seems to be quite gifted!"

"How long has he even been cultivating? He's already made considerable breakthroughs—his strength has definitely improved."

"Though the spiritual energy within Jade Purity Palace is exceedingly rich, without sufficient talent, there's no way to turn it into actual combat power."

"Yet he truly is unexpectedly impressive!"

"Not bad! Quite good indeed!"

"As expected of my newly recruited underling!"

Lin Chuan felt immensely satisfied. After all, this was his newly recruited underling, and the entire Sect of Interception knew about this underling of his.

If his underling was powerful—

Wouldn't that mean he himself was even more powerful?

Mm~

It indirectly proved just how awesome he was!

Of course, this also stirred a faint thought within him. Since Zhao Gongming possessed such strength, why not give him a push?

"I've got it!"

"Since Zhao Gongming is so talented, if I give him some resources, his strength will definitely become incredibly formidable."

"I don't need to cultivate in the first place, so whether I'm strong or not doesn't really matter."

"But if Zhao Gongming becomes powerful..."

"Hehehe!!"

Just thinking about it gave Lin Chuan a thrill. With such a powerful underling at his command, he could order him around as he pleased.

No matter where he went, he could throw his weight around and lord it over others.

And once other people learned that this was his underling, wouldn't their impression of him become even more extraordinary?

That, too, would prove from the side just how powerful he, the boss, was.

Thus—

An idea immediately sprang into his mind!

[If I give him a top-tier cultivation technique, he should gain unparalleled strength. By then, he ought to improve even further.]

[Wouldn't that make him an incredibly powerful thug wherever I go?]

[And if even my underling is this awesome, then I, as the boss, will naturally have plenty of face too.]

[What's more...]

[Hehehehe...]

[I happen to have several top-tier cultivation techniques. If I spread all of them around and let my underlings cultivate them, wouldn't Tongtian This Old Scoundrel be furious?]

Lin Chuan laughed wildly to himself.

Because he felt this was entirely feasible—especially since he clearly understood just how precious top-tier cultivation techniques were.

Although this did not exactly cross any bottom lines, and he would merely be giving them to disciples of the Sect of Interception to cultivate.

It could be said that this would provoke dissatisfaction.

It might even incur Sect Master Tongtian's wrath, but it would not go so far as to cross the line and make him think Lin Chuan had betrayed him.

Therefore—

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Top-tier cultivation techniques? Give them away!

Not only could he raise his underling's strength, but he might also anger Sect Master Tongtian.

This was absolutely killing two birds with one stone!

Sect Master Tongtian: "???"

He had originally been preparing to rest and had not paid much attention. After all, he had already handed down a punishment. Yet he suddenly heard Lin Chuan's inner voice again.

In that instant, he felt terrible.

Even as a Heavenly Dao Sage, he felt thoroughly stifled at that moment.

After all, his disciple was actually this kind of thing. Whoever had to deal with that would be left speechless, especially when these were top-tier cultivation techniques he himself had bestowed.

No matter who received them, they would surely treasure them dearly...

They would even certainly cultivate with determination and strive to become stronger. But this brat was different—he spent all day doing nothing but slacking off, never once considering cultivation.

He already had so many top-tier cultivation techniques.

It would have been one thing if he simply did not appreciate them, but now he actually wanted to leak those top-tier cultivation techniques to others?

???

Sect Master Tongtian was utterly dumbfounded.

So it had not been leaked to anyone outside the Sect of Interception, but passing it on to others without permission was inherently highly improper—and he had not even obtained his consent.

This...

Wasn't this going too far?

"Outrageous! This is simply outrageous!"

"That brat is completely lawless! Does he not know just how precious these top-tier cultivation arts are? Yet now he says he'll teach them to whoever he wants."

"No!"

"He must be properly punished!"

"Guarding the gate?"

"That doesn't seem harsh enough. I must carefully consider how to punish him. In any case, he absolutely cannot be allowed to leave the Sect of Interception."

"He must not be permitted to take a single step beyond the mountain gate. Otherwise, whether he can return afterward will be a question."

"As long as he does not leave, he can forget about escaping from the palm of my hand."

Sect Master Tongtian's gloom was swept away at that moment, and he silently began making up his mind. He had already entertained such thoughts before, but now his resolve became even firmer.

And it was no longer the same as before.

Previously, he had merely not wanted to expel Lin Chuan.

But now, it was even more outrageous—Lin Chuan absolutely could not be allowed to step off Golden Ao Island!

Otherwise, the sky would be high for birds to fly, and the sea vast for fish to roam!

After this brief period of contact, he had already gained a general understanding of Lin Chuan's unruly nature. He absolutely could not be given any opportunity.

Sect Master Tongtian fell silent.

Lin Chuan had no idea that, at this moment, many more burdens had inexplicably been piled onto him, and that leaving this Place of Right and Wrong had become even more difficult.

The more he wanted to leave, the less willing Sect Master Tongtian was to let him go.

Even most disciples would receive certain tasks, and more or less all of those tasks required them to leave Golden Ao Island.

But...

Once Sect Master Tongtian had made his decision, such tasks were completely cut off from Lin Chuan.

Seeing that Zhao Gongming was still cultivating, Lin Chuan quietly waited at the side. Once Zhao Gongming gradually stabilized his realm, it would be time to impart a top-tier cultivation art.

A faint smile slowly appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Using your resources to train my little brother, and there's nothing you can do about it. If you have the guts, just expel me outright."

"As long as I keep it within bounds, it won't cost me my life. At worst, I'll merely be expelled."

"Hehehe..."

"But that's exactly what I want!"

Lin Chuan felt that he had found a way to strike back. Sect Master Tongtian, that old man, had been keeping an eye on him all this time, watching him closely.

Now that he had finally found even the slightest possibility of retaliation, he could not let it slip by.

At the same time, taking out a top-tier cultivation art could strengthen his little brother's power. Not only could he show off, but he could also achieve his own goal.

Killing two birds with one arrow!

However, he had only learned the Eight-Nine Profound Art so far. As for the other top-tier cultivation arts, he had yet to fully master them and had only just entered the door.

Unless the system granted him rewards, there was absolutely no way he could rapidly become proficient in them. The fact that he had even managed to get started was already quite astonishing.

But merely getting started was still not enough to teach others.

The Eight-Nine Profound Art, however, was different!

He had cultivated it to the point of consummate mastery!

This... was the top-tier cultivation art he intended to give away!
