Lin Tian Receives the System's Rewards

Elsewhere.

In front of Lin Tian's dwelling.

When the system's voice sounded in Lin Tian's ear.

Lin Tian could not help feeling delighted.

"Sure enough! Once I finished writing the diary, the rewards arrived."

Just as the thought crossed Lin Tian's mind.

The system's voice rang out.

[Reward for the host: Primordial Grand Dao True Scripture, the foremost cultivation technique in the Primordial World. Its cultivation speed surpassed all others, and it transcended the Heavenly Dao]

[Reward for the host: a house improvement (a house with Grand Dao attributes) capable of suppressing certain emanations]

[(Explanation: it could block emanations from magical treasures, cultivation, household objects, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; when the host received rewards, some strange emanations would be released. The Grand Dao house could shield you from divine-sense searches from a thousand li away. Please use it without worry)]

[Rewards for the host's bamboo house: wooden qin x1, Go set x1, four treasures of the study x1, tea set x1, mineral water x100]

[All rewards have been issued. Would the host like to claim them?]

Hearing the system announce the rewards, Lin Tian could not help saying to himself.

It really does give me whatever I need.

For now, the Primordial Grand Dao True Scripture is the most important.

I'll cultivate to the Great Luo realm as soon as possible and leave this place.

As for the house improvement and all that music, chess, calligraphy, and painting stuff, they're fucking useless.

Although Lin Tian thought so.

He had only written one diary entry, after all.

And he had received these rewards.

All told, he had gotten them for free.

Lin Tian thought no more about it and stirred his mind.

He silently said, Claim them in this order.

His thought went out.

The system responded immediately.

[Primordial Grand Dao True Scripture claimed successfully]

A mechanical voice sounded in his ear.

Lin Tian's primordial spirit suddenly swelled.

As if out of nowhere, countless pieces of information rushed in.

Along with obscure, inscrutable talismans, rules, and spiritual power.

They filled Lin Tian's primordial spirit.

The sensation lasted less than a few breaths.

An explosive boom erupted from the depths of his primordial spirit.

Lin Tian was suddenly struck by a feeling of enlightenment, as if wisdom had been poured into the crown of his head.

An instant later.

Lin Tian had immediately mastered the Primordial Grand Dao True Scripture.

He had yet to sit down cross-legged or enter a meditative state.

Yet Lin Tian could feel the Grand Dao-level cultivation technique surging through his body.

With every breath.

Countless streams of spiritual Qi rushed into his body.

Originally, Lin Tian's cultivation had only been at the early Earth Immortal stage.

In the blink of an eye, it was nearly at the threshold of the early stage.

The terrifying speed at which his spiritual power grew made Lin Tian's gaze freeze, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It really is worthy of being the foremost cultivation technique in the Primordial World."

"This cultivation speed is truly terrifying."

"At this rate, it probably won't be long before the three flowers gather above my head and the five Qi return to their origin."

Feeling the power coming from his primordial spirit.

Lin Tian could not help breathing a sigh of relief.

The pressure his lack of strength had placed on him for so long vanished in an instant.

After briefly sitting cross-legged and calming his breathing.

Lin Tian recalled the system's other two rewards.

"These two rewards aren't much use either. I'll redeem them first."

Not long after a brief exchange with the system.

Lin Tian sensed that the atmosphere of the bamboo house he was in had changed considerably.

The plants, some of which had been withering, had become full of life.

Even the spiritual Qi was much sweeter than before.

A mysterious strand of Grand Dao Qi drifted through the bamboo house.

Making Lin Tian feel refreshed from head to toe.

And then... he felt nothing else.

"This house renovation only purified the air?"

"I thought it was going to redecorate the place. And this is it?"

Lin Tian looked at the bamboo house, which was exactly the same as before, feeling somewhat speechless.

Before Lin Tian could say anything.

Inside the bamboo house where Lin Tian stood.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

Several muffled sounds rang out.

In front of Lin Tian.

Four things appeared.

They were the wooden qin, Go set, four treasures of the study, tea set, and mineral water rewarded by the system.

The wooden qin and Go set both looked rather old.

The four treasures of the study were a little better.

But they were not new either.

There was also quite a bit of dust on them.

The only clean thing among them was the tea set, which looked as though it were made of plastic.

Though it looked clear and translucent.

Lin Tian could not tell what its material was.

Nor did he know what it was made of.

It looked like an ordinary object from the mortal world.

As for the mineral water the system had given him.

It was clear water held in a bronze vessel.

It also carried faint traces of spiritual Qi.

Looking at the pile of objects before him, Lin Tian could not help twitching the corners of his mouth.

"What is all this?"

"What use do I have for these things?"

"If you'd given me a Fuxi Qin, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, and Three Lights Divine Water, that would have been acceptable, I suppose."

"Who are you trying to fool with this pile of secondhand junk?"

"Forget it. I'll use them as decorations."

Lin Tian grabbed the wooden qin and took it to the doorway of the wooden house.

Seeing that the threshold was high, he placed the wooden qin in front of it.

The wooden qin was exactly half the height of the threshold, and Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction.

"It's not bad as a step."

"The things the system gave me aren't entirely useless after all."

Having decided where to put the wooden qin, he picked up the Go board.

He pondered how to put the board to use.

At the very least, he could make use of the junk; otherwise, the reward would go to waste.

Just then.

Boom!

From the direction of distant Jin'ao Island.

A deafening roar rang out.

Accompanied by waves of oppressive baleful Qi spreading in all directions.

Immediately afterward.

A magnificent, imposing sage's voice.

With Jin'ao Island as its center.

Swept across the heavens and shook the universe!

"All Jie Sect Disciples, return to the Interception Sect's cultivation grounds at once!"

"I, your master, have an important matter to announce!"

Hearing Tongtian's voice.

Lin Tian could not help being startled.

"Tongtian, who's been in secluded cultivation for so long?"

"He actually came out?"

"Huh? No, that's not right. In the normal course of events, he couldn't have come out at this time, could he?"

"And he's summoning his disciples as soon as he comes out. What happened?"
