Writing a Diary Entry and Receiving a Reward

The next day.

Inside the bamboo hut.

Lin Tian, who had sat cross-legged in meditation all night.

Awoke from his cultivation.

His eyes opened slightly.

An exceedingly profound look flashed through them.

As a wisp of purple Qi swept past.

Lin Tian steadied his emotions and rose from his meditation cushion.

"The Primordial Grand Dao True Scripture really is formidable."

"In just one night."

"My strength has improved quite a bit again."

"I'm already very close to the True Immortal realm!"

"Under normal circumstances, wouldn't it have taken a hundred years to reach this point?"

Murmuring to himself, Lin Tian lifted his head slightly and looked out the window.

When he saw the newly risen sun outside, giving off a soft glow.

Lin Tian suddenly remembered that he hadn't written a new entry in the Great Dao Diary.

He went over to the stone platform.

And casually picked up the Great Dao Writing Brush from it.

He opened the diary, and the tip of the brush hovered above the paper.

A peculiar look flashed through Lin Tian's eyes.

"What should I write this time?"

"I think there was something I didn't finish writing last time."

"I'll just carry on with that. Either way, I'm only filling space to get the system reward."

Lin Tian briefly recalled what he had written, then filled a page of the diary with a free-flowing stream of words.

Finally, at the very end, he drew a ☺.

And used it as his closing remark.

He finished the diary entry.

Then gently set the Great Dao Writing Brush aside.

At that very moment.

The system's voice immediately rang out.

[Congratulations, host. You have completed your third diary entry]

[The reward has been issued]

[Would the host like to claim it now?]

Hearing the system's words.

Lin Tian couldn't help feeling a little expectant.

He had already agreed to the request from Gongming and his sister.

So when he saw them again, he still needed to give them some guidance.

Right now, he didn't know how to do anything, so naturally he couldn't offer any insights.

Perhaps the reward he received this time could get Lin Tian out of this bind.

"Claim it!"

Lin Tian shouted without hesitation.

The next moment.

The system's notification sounded beside Lin Tian's ear.

[The system has detected that the host's daily life is very boring]

[This time, the reward will not be a magical treasure]

[But three novels]

[Buddha Is the Dao, Covering the Heavens with One Hand, Perfect World]

[When the host is bored, he can read novels to cultivate his sensibilities. Combined with cultivation, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort]

"..."

The system's voice fell silent beside his ear.

The corner of Lin Tian's mouth twitched.

Good grief!

Lin Tian couldn't help exclaiming, Good grief!

Novels could actually be system rewards?

Who was it trying to fool?

Besides, weren't these novels hugely popular webnovels from his previous life?

He had already read them many times!

How could he get into them now?

These thoughts flashed through his mind.

Lin Tian couldn't help feeling a little displeased.

He instinctively said to the system.

"Hey! System, you dog!"

"I wanted magical treasures. What did you give me this stuff for?"

"How am I supposed to guide those girls now?"

"If I can't come up with anything to say, I'll be embarrassed to death. Can't you let me save a little face?"

"Huh? System! You..."

Lin Tian cursed and grumbled to himself.

But the system was like a turtle hiding in its shell, saying nothing.

Lin Tian sighed.

Forget it.

This reward was a bust.

The next time those girls came, he could only make something up.

The instant that thought flashed through Lin Tian's mind.

A radiant glow flickered faintly in the space before him.

A profound fluctuation.

Flashed out from the glow.

Carrying a pure force of the Great Dao.

It rippled through the wooden hut.

A purple light also emerged.

Immediately afterward.

Before Lin Tian.

Three ancient-looking books appeared.

The moment the three books appeared.

The radiant glow slowly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, it disappeared completely into the books.

The books weren't thin, and their covers looked ordinary.

On them were the Dao characters for each book.

Giving off a dazzling golden light.

Yet no matter how astonishing the phenomena surrounding these books were.

Lin Tian didn't feel all that happy.

"Ugh, all this flashy nonsense."

"What use is it?"

"If you ask me, reading novels doesn't make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. It makes it half as effective with twice the effort."

Muttering softly, Lin Tian casually picked up a book.

And flipped through it.

What struck Lin Tian as a little strange was.

The writing in the book looked as though it had just been copied out by hand.

It was true to the original, and there were even illustrations at the back that looked like brush paintings.

It was as complete as could be.

"That's pretty novel. Someone who didn't know better might think I wrote it."

Thinking this was strange, Lin Tian opened Battle Through Qiankun to the first page.

"Dou Qi, third stage..."

The familiar words, with their amateurish flavor, rushed to meet him.

Making the corner of Lin Tian's mouth twitch.

After casually flipping through a few pages, Lin Tian lost interest.

He had read this book at least ten times and was already familiar with its contents.

Lin Tian hadn't been very satisfied with the system's reward to begin with.

Now he was even less in the mood to read.

But on second thought.

He sighed.

"Forget it."

"I can't just throw away something the system rewarded me with."

"When I'm really bored one of these days, I'll take them out and have a look."

Muttering to himself.

Lin Tian wanted to put the three books away and toss them into some corner.

So he stacked the three books together.

And carried them out of the wooden hut.

But just as he came out.

Lin Tian saw, beyond the wooden hut's fence.

A burly young man in an earthy yellow Daoist robe standing outside.

The young man had a simple, honest face and looked very straightforward.

At the moment, he was peering curiously in this direction.

At the sight of the honest-looking young man, Lin Tian was momentarily taken aback.

Huh?

Who is this kid?

Is he passing by too?

With that thought, Lin Tian set the three books in his arms on the stone platform in the nearby pavilion.

And walked toward the gate.
