Continuous Acceleration! The Outer Sect Grand Competition is Imminent!

Chen Changqing was shocked when he heard the system notification.

"Triple?"

I never expected this AFK Point to boost my AFK speed by so much.

It's just a pity there are so few AFK Points, only a thousand or so.

If I could get more AFK Points to exchange, wouldn't this AFK cultivation speed be even faster?

At this thought, Chen Changqing's mind stirred with excitement.

Back in Green Creek Village, I only obtained AFK Points after killing those Demon Sect cultivators.

I wonder if there are other ways to acquire AFK Points besides killing?

Chen Changqing's thoughts were a tangled mess.

He discovered that as his strength continued to grow, many of the system's functions were gradually unlocking.

"Whew!"

As he pondered, Chen Changqing let out a long sigh and muttered to himself:

"I should be content."

"Being able to increase AFK efficiency by three times is already quite good."

This efficiency boost I spent a thousand AFK Points to exchange for shouldn't last forever.

Chen Changqing thought to himself.

He knew very well that the triple-speed AFK efficiency was likely only temporary.

I just don't know how long it will last.

While lost in thought, Chen Changqing regained his focus and stopped dwelling on it.

He stood up and walked toward the mountain gate; he still had to go and relieve Ran Hua for his shift.

Time passed.

Before he knew it, several months had gone by.

During this period, Chen Changqing continued to keep a low profile.

His days were very leisurely; he slept until he woke up naturally every day, then went to the mountain gate to swap shifts with Ran Hua.

No one knew that behind his seemingly idle days, the system was actually frantically AFK-cultivating for him.

"It's already been several months."

"Has this triple cultivation speed still not ended?"

At the Mount Shu Sect mountain gate, Chen Changqing whispered to himself.

Earlier, he had spent one thousand AFK Points to exchange for triple AFK speed.

He had originally thought it would be exhausted after a few days.

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, months had passed, and the triple-speed AFK efficiency was still ongoing.

"There's no need to be anxious, though."

"The longer it lasts, the better; this is triple-speed AFK efficiency after all."

"It's equivalent to one day counting as three."

Chen Changqing murmured to himself, in no rush to extract his AFK results.

Soon, it was 6:00 PM.

Chen Changqing locked the mountain gate and immediately headed toward the Half-Mountain Cabin where he lived.

After returning to his dwelling, he made himself something simple to eat.

Currently, Chen Changqing's cultivation was still at the Qi Refining stage.

Cultivators at this stage needed to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve their strength.

Although their physiques were stronger than mortals, they still needed to eat to maintain bodily functions.

Only after reaching Foundation Establishment could one abstain from grains and survive without eating.

"Over these past few months, the essence in my dantian hasn't increased much at all!"

After eating, Chen Changqing sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the empty moon hanging high in the sky.

Because of the triple-speed boost, he was in no hurry to extract his AFK results.

He hadn't cultivated much himself over the past few months, so naturally, the essence within his body hadn't improved.

Could it be that when I finally extract the AFK results, it will allow me to reach Foundation Establishment in one go?

Suddenly, this thought popped into Chen Changqing's mind.

As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly shook his head.

"Better not think too much about it."

"The Nine Turns Qi Refining Art I cultivate is inherently difficult."

"Even with a triple speed boost, I doubt it would allow me to reach the Foundation Establishment realm in one go."

Collecting his thoughts, Chen Changqing yawned and returned to his room to fall into a deep sleep.

He slept straight through until the next day.

Chen Changqing was still fast asleep when he was suddenly startled awake by a series of urgent knocks at the door.

"Knock, knock..."

"Senior Brother Chen!!"

Ran Hua's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

Chen Changqing woke up, dressed, and got up to open the gate, his eyes still heavy with sleep.

Before he could say anything, Ran Hua said excitedly:

"Senior Brother Chen! I've broken through to the Qi Refining realm!"

Ran Hua's face was full of excitement, his cheeks flushed.

He had joined the sect later than Chen Changqing, but earlier on, his cultivation speed had far surpassed Chen Changqing's.

When Chen Changqing was still in the Qi Cultivation realm, he had already reached the late stage of Body Refining.

Who would have thought that Chen Changqing's cultivation speed would suddenly accelerate afterward.

Breakthrough after breakthrough.

He soon surpassed Ran Hua!

Seeing Chen Changqing cultivate so rapidly, Ran Hua was naturally quite shaken.

He practiced even harder every day.

Heaven rewards the diligent, and today he had finally broken through to the Qi Refining realm, so he came to share the good news with Chen Changqing as soon as possible.

Hearing what Ran Hua said, Chen Changqing smiled slightly:

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Ran!"

As he said this, Chen Changqing's tone was very calm.

Seeing this, a hint of awkwardness appeared on Ran Hua's face.

Especially when he thought of Chen Changqing's cultivation speed, he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

Compared to Senior Brother Chen's monstrous cultivation speed.

My speed is practically crawling like a snail!

I wonder how Senior Brother Chen cultivates every day?

Ran Hua sighed inwardly.

Having discovered Chen Changqing's constant breakthroughs earlier, he had been extremely curious to know how Chen Changqing cultivated.

However, when asked, Chen Changqing never gave a specific answer, always saying he had broken through by luck.

For this reason, Ran Hua had even secretly observed Chen Changqing.

He found that apart from his routine of guarding the mountain gate, Chen Changqing spent every day sleeping.

It made Ran Hua wonder.

Could it be that Chen Changqing could cultivate just by sleeping?

Lost in thought for a moment, Ran Hua quickly snapped back to reality.

Then, he suddenly remembered something and quickly said:

"Oh, right, Senior Brother Chen."

"The Outer Sect Grand Competition is imminent."

"In ten days, the elders will select the participants for this Outer Sect Grand Competition."

"It's just a pity that I've only just broken through to the Qi Refining realm, so there's no way I'll have a chance to show what I can do."

"But for you, Senior Brother Chen, there is a great hope!"

Chen Changqing smiled indifferently and said:

"Not necessarily, we'll see how the elders decide when the time comes!"

Afterward, Ran Hua chatted with Chen Changqing for a few more moments before bidding him farewell.

"Ten days from now, huh?"

Chen Changqing's eyes lit up.

In the past, an outer sect disciple with mediocre aptitude like him wouldn't even have the qualifications to participate.

But now, with the system in hand, why the need to keep a low profile?

"I wonder if this triple-speed boost will end before the Outer Sect Grand Competition begins?"

"If it hasn't ended by then, I suppose I'll have no choice but to extract the idle results prematurely."

Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, a notification from the system suddenly echoed in his mind:

[Ding!]

[The triple idle speed boost was a one-time effect and has now ended!]

[Idle duration: 91 days.]

[Practiced Nine Turns Qi Refining Art × 3200 times!]

[Extract idle results?]
