“Alright, get up now.” Zhong Qing smiled gently and helped Lin Feng to his feet before saying, “Next, I’ll start teaching you how to cultivate.”
“But Master, I…” Lin Feng lowered his head and said, “I actually don’t have any talent for cultivation. I don’t even have white-level talent.”
“I’m sorry, Master. I lied to you.” Lin Feng looked ashamed.
Zhong Qing gave a faint smile. “I already knew about your talent.”
Hearing this, Lin Feng’s face flushed with embarrassment. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in. As expected, his mysterious master had already seen through his lack of talent.
“Then Master, why did you still take me in as your disciple?” Lin Feng asked curiously.
“Maybe because you’re pleasant to look at,” Zhong Qing said with a smile. Of course, he wouldn’t say the real reason. Then he added, “Your lack of talent might be an insurmountable obstacle in the eyes of others, but to me, it’s not a problem.”
Upon hearing that, Lin Feng’s eyes lit up, and even his breathing became rapid.
“You just need to do exactly as I say,” Zhong Qing said softly, his mind already turning.
He hadn’t activated the hundredfold increase from the waste tie immediately because he was waiting for the right moment. If he triggered it too early without any buildup, it would diminish Lin Feng’s trust in him as a master. And if Lin Feng asked questions, it’d be hard to explain.
Under Lin Feng’s expectant gaze, Zhong Qing smiled calmly, “First, pick one main technique from the ones I gave you earlier. Then, I’ll teach you a heaven-defying chant. All you have to do is silently repeat the chant I teach you while you cultivate.”
As he spoke, Zhong Qing leaned in and transmitted the chant to Lin Feng in a mysterious whisper.
Lin Feng listened carefully, but by the time he finished, his entire worldview was shaken. “Master… it’s really this simple?”
“Of course. Just do exactly as I said,” Zhong Qing said seriously. “Remember, the chant I taught you is for your ears only. If you tell anyone, it won’t work.”
“Alright, go to the room next door and give it a try,” Zhong Qing said with a lazy smile as he reclined back on his lounge chair.
Lin Feng scratched his head. Just repeating “Don’t think about sh*t, open the technique and just go!” could really help him cultivate?
With doubt in his heart, Lin Feng sat cross-legged in the next room.
“Kid, I gave it some thought—‘Great Earth-Wood Scripture’ suits you best. Once you master it, you can control earth and wood from heaven and earth. So start cultivating that one,” Elder Jian’s voice echoed in the desolate ring.
He was also eager to see if the chant Zhong Qing taught really could help a first-rank waste successfully cultivate. Of course, he was wise enough not to ask what the chant was.
“Alright!” Lin Feng replied seriously and opened the Great Earth-Wood Scripture, following its instructions to begin cultivating.
At the same time, he silently repeated the chant Zhong Qing had taught him.
Don’t think about sh*t, open the technique and just go!
In the main hall, Zhong Qing activated his spiritual sense to check in on Lin Feng and nodded with satisfaction. Then he silently connected to the system and activated the hundredfold boost from the waste tie.
As for the chant… it wasn’t that Zhong Qing wanted to be crude. He really did want to come up with something smooth, domineering, or even poetic—maybe something rhymed, or from the Three Hundred Tang Poems.
But after so many years since crossing over, he’d forgotten almost everything he learned in his past life.
There was no other way—he had to wing it with a random phrase.
Fortunately, the chant was just a trigger. It didn’t affect the actual results. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
And as the hundredfold boost activated, Lin Feng, who was sitting and cultivating, immediately felt the effects.
Spiritual energy from the world surged toward him, flowing around his body.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng’s limbs and bones—long untouched by spiritual energy—were filled with power. It was like a dry riverbed suddenly receiving a rush of clear spring water.
With the hundredfold boost plus an Emperor Rank technique, Lin Feng’s cultivation speed wasn’t something even geniuses could dream of.
The next moment, Lin Feng began breaking through.
1st stage Body Tempering Realm.
2nd stage Body Tempering Realm.
3rd stage Body Tempering Realm.
Soon after, his cultivation surged straight into the Postnatal Realm.
“Master, it worked! I really succeeded!” Lin Feng, overwhelmed with joy, jumped up from the floor and rushed to Zhong Qing, tears rolling down his cheeks.
He had waited for this day for so long.
In the ring, Elder Jian was just as moved. Lin Feng saw him like a father, and he had always treated Lin Feng like his own son.
Though he had paved an alternate path using the Flame Spirit route, which ignored Lin Feng’s lack of talent, seeking Flame Spirits was extremely dangerous—and that path itself was a gamble with death.
How could it compare to the way things were now—easy, effortless cultivation?
And in mere moments, Lin Feng had reached the Postnatal Realm.
“What kind of heaven-defying chant is this? Not only does it ignore a waste’s limitations, it also allows for such terrifying cultivation speed—it’s monstrous!” Elder Jian couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.
Zhong Qing had once again shattered his understanding of what was possible.
Such methods, such boldness—even in his prime, Elder Jian had never heard of anything like this.
“Told you I wasn’t lying,” Zhong Qing said, smiling softly as he looked at the crying-with-joy Lin Feng. He patted his head and said, “From now on, you must work even harder. Don’t let me down.”
“Yes, Master. I won’t disappoint you!” Lin Feng said firmly.
Then, filled with excitement, he rushed off toward his cave dwelling.
After all, the dwelling had formation arrays that could help him cultivate even faster.
Watching Lin Feng’s excited figure, Zhong Qing was just as pleased.
Because while Lin Feng’s cultivation rose, he could clearly feel his own cultivation increasing as well.
As time passed, with Lin Feng cultivating diligently, Zhong Qing could feel his cultivation rising every moment. In just a few days, he broke through a minor realm within the Star Profound Realm.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he reached the dream realm of countless cultivators—Moon Profound Realm.
One day, at Elder Jian’s suggestion, Lin Feng came to a mountain about 50 kilometers from Command Hall Peak.
With one punch, a beast over 6 meters long collapsed at his feet.
“Phew!” Lin Feng looked at the beast and felt deeply satisfied.
Just days ago, he was a waste who couldn’t cultivate. Now, he could kill such a beast with a single punch.
“If I used the Ink Blade, I could probably kill one two levels stronger,” Lin Feng muttered.
“Remember, kid. When your master’s around, you can flip the heavens and no one would care. But if he’s not by your side and your strength hasn’t matured, don’t use the Ink Blade unless it’s a life-or-death situation,” Elder Jian warned from within the ring.
“Yes, Elder Jian. I understand,” Lin Feng nodded humbly.
“Alright. After this battle, your rapid breakthroughs should be stabilized. Continue cultivating using the technique and the chant your master taught you. After advancing a few levels, go fight another beast,” Elder Jian instructed again.
“Yes.”
Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the spot. While operating the Great Earth-Wood Scripture, he repeated the chant in his mind: Don’t think about sh*t, open the technique and just go!
Soon, he entered the cultivation state again.
After just a short while, he had another breakthrough.
7th stage Postnatal Realm.
Two hours later.
8th stage Postnatal Realm.
Half a day later.
9th stage Postnatal Realm.
By the next day, Lin Feng directly entered the Innate Realm.
Watching Lin Feng breakthrough after breakthrough, Elder Jian inside the ring had already gone numb.
If not for the fear of crossing boundaries, he truly wanted to know what that chant was—how could it possibly be this powerful?
Because relying solely on an Emperor Rank technique couldn’t explain this speed.
Clearly, the true source of Lin Feng’s incredible cultivation speed was that chant.
At the same time, beneath a scenic waterfall deep within the mountain, a woman in white slowly opened her eyes.
“A young genius who cultivates at such a terrifying pace?”
“A boy like that must be recruited under my command!”
