Our Sect's Cultivation Method Has No Spiritual Energy Fluctuations!

Fortunately, under the director team's instructions, those lackeys had not caused Lin Hao any serious injuries.

They were mostly superficial wounds that would heal with some rest.

But Lin Hao was angry.

He finally understood the obsession protagonists in novels had with cultivation.

It was to avoid being bullied, to grow stronger.

In a world of cultivation like this, the weak were prey to the strong.

He wanted to change himself. He did not want to become the kind of person Yi Changge described—poor as a youth, poor in middle age, poor in old age, and still poor when dead.

Watching the lackeys leave while mocking him, Lin Hao's eyes filled with determination.

[There Are Pants in the Woods: Did he have another moment of enlightenment?]

[I Want to Be Reborn: Look at that expression. His acting is way better than those actors'. I'm really looking forward to seeing whether he can cultivate that so-called Qi Refining Formula, hahahaha.]

[I'm a Warm-Hearted Guy: To be honest, it was pretty stirring at first. I thought Lin Hao was really impressive.]

[A Good Friend for a Lifetime: Where's the female lead? I want to see the female lead! Who wants to watch men? Hurry up and bring out the female lead!]

The bullet comments buzzed with discussion, filled with all kinds of remarks and opinions.

"Work hard, young man."

Looking at the hatred in the youth's eyes, Gu Yuan leaned against the outer wall of the house and yawned.

A world without cultivators was truly troublesome.

He had to guide them one by one himself.

Over the next few days.

According to the director team's arrangements, all outer sect disciples had to attend the elders' lectures, supposedly to promote their progress.

However, there was basically nothing of substance in those lectures.

Every so often, an elder would fly on a sword or conjure fireballs with bare hands.

If there had not been no spiritual energy fluctuations, it would have been easy to take it seriously.

"The path of cultivation accords with the Dao. One must seek it within one's heart, seek it within oneself, comprehend heaven and earth, and cultivate both within and without."

"Do you know what is most unique about the Azure Mountain Sect?"

The elder giving the lecture sat on a meditation cushion, sweeping his gaze over the crowd below as he asked.

What was special about the Azure Mountain Sect?

How would I know?

The people below were all outer sect disciples who had not been here long, and they shook their heads.

"Hehe, it's normal that you don't know."

"Very well, let this old man explain."

"The Azure Mountain Sect was founded by the Azure Mountain Patriarch. The Patriarch's cultivation was unfathomable, and his concealment techniques were peerless. Before his passing, he established the Inheritance Stone Wall."

"It was the very thing you comprehended before. Every cultivation technique that can be comprehended from that stone wall came from the Patriarch, so they have inherited his most formidable methods as well."

"No matter their cultivation level, disciples of our sect will not leak spiritual energy when using their techniques, nor will they leave traces that can be detected. At the same time, others cannot discern their cultivation level. A very small number of people do not even know their own realm."

"That is why other sects do not dare casually attack disciples of our sect. What they fear is not knowing our cultivation."

After finishing, the lecturing elder chuckled and stroked his white beard, looking extremely proud.

Exceptional concealment abilities?

That powerful?

Fine, this was just another patch the production team had added.

It was not just the Azure Mountain Sect. The other sects introduced themselves this way too, all to reduce suspicion.

After all, you had never truly been to a cultivation world. How would you know it was fake?

So that was it.

Upon hearing the elder's words, the disciples nodded in understanding.

Even Lin Hao suddenly understood.

So the sect he had joined was this formidable. It could even play the pig to eat the tiger?

No wonder he could not see how the elders had acted earlier.

A major sect indeed!

Wasn't that Shen Yunfei?

Had he been talked down from the stone wall?

Gu Yuan could not be bothered with the so-called lecturing elder. Instead, he noticed Shen Yunfei in the corner.

Shen Yunfei was the one who was truly miserable.

He believed even more firmly than Lin Hao that he was useless. With Lin Hao's experience as a warning, he had nearly died suddenly at the stone wall.

So after he fainted, the director team arranged for an elder to tell him that he had already comprehended a cultivation technique. It was simply an extremely powerful passive technique that needed to be activated.

As for how to activate it, he could only figure that out himself.

Did Shen Yunfei believe it?

Of course he did.

Would the sect deceive him?

Would an elder that powerful deceive him?

Impossible!

But how to activate it had become a difficult problem.

These days, he had been searching constantly. Even during lectures, he listened more attentively than the others.

Thinking of this, he could not help but feel somewhat jealous of the other disciples.

He was even a little jealous of Lin Hao.

Look at him. Although he had comprehended his technique late, he had a partner, and she was even a personal disciple of the inner sect. His family background in the mortal world was good too.

When would this cultivation technique finally activate?

"Alright, this lecture ends here. Remember to write a one-thousand-word reflection and hand it in to me tomorrow morning."

The lecturing elder's voice fell, declaring the end of the lecture.

But what the hell was this about having to write a reflection too?

Wails erupted from below.

"You want to write that badly? Then make it fifteen hundred words, and submit it on time tomorrow—"

"Well then, this old man has something to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

For some reason, the lecturing elder's expression abruptly changed, confusion appearing in his eyes.

He glanced at everyone, forced himself to remain calm, then left without another word.

He departed in great haste, as though something urgent had happened.

The disciples scattered at once and left.

Time to get off work!

The director team had said that once the lecturing elder left, the lecture scene for the day was over, and they could rest in the sect according to their own arrangements.

Thus, only Lin Hao and Shen Yunfei remained.

After glancing at Shen Yunfei, Lin Hao felt that Shen Yunfei's gaze was strange. It seemed to carry a faint trace of resentment as he looked at him.

What was that about?

Could it be that his predecessor had some kind of history with Shen Yunfei?

At that thought, Lin Hao felt a chill run through his body and hurriedly left the lecture hall.

The elder's cave residence.

The lecturing elder was Liu Erdan, the same man who had previously received the disciples. He had originally wanted to say more and give himself a little more screen time.

But the situation was urgent, and he had no choice but to leave.

"Qi Refining Formula? Holy shit?"

"It really is the Qi Refining Formula?"

The cave residence was excellently soundproofed. As a private residence, it also had no cameras.

It had appeared directly in his mind!

Exactly as Lin Hao had said!

It was unbelievably fantastical.

"Could Lin Hao have really obtained a cultivation technique too?"

Liu Erdan could barely contain his excitement as he recalled what Lin Hao had told him earlier.

He had even laughed at Lin Hao before, wondering if the kid had gone stupid.

It turned out the real fool was himself.

Had Lin Hao already begun cultivating?

Then what was he waiting for? Why wasn't he cultivating too?

Once Lin Hao's cultivation succeeded and he discovered that they had deceived him, who could possibly withstand that?

It seemed he would have to lie low first. Before his cultivation bore fruit, he absolutely could not expose himself.

Having made up his mind, Liu Erdan began cultivating according to the information in his mind, filled with excitement.
