Seeing the situation, Gold Sword Zen Ren, too, waved his hand and set up a protective array around this disciple, allowing him to comprehend the dao in peace.
Lin Yi felt that this disciple was probably only one step away from enlightenment, and this lecture by Gold Sword Zen Ren had helped him break through.
At this moment, a prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes, “Host has listened to lectures ten times in total, your eagerness to learn is encouraging, you have obtained the title [Slacker].”
Seeing the contents of the prompt, Lin Yi could not help but laugh, this was toying with him. Just because he did not come to listen to the lectures, it did not mean he did not possess the eagerness to learn. They even gave him a ‘slacker’ title, to encourage him.
Let’s see what kind of effect this has. He can’t help but cast his gaze to the [Slacker] title, and a line of small text appeared below.
“[Slacker]: While attentively listening to lectures from individuals higher than your own realm, you will gain a certain amount of their cultivation based on your concentration (study hard, and improve every day).”
Seeing this effect, Lin Yi’s eyes shone brightly. As the saying goes, a teacher guides, teaches, and resolves doubts. On Earth too, we have the saying that teachers are the candlelight, burning themselves to light up their students.
Now this [Slacker] title is using the master’s cultivation to illuminate oneself, this is the true transmission of the dao.
However, the amount of cultivation this title grants is not specified, only a vague ‘certain’ amount is mentioned, which makes one feel a bit uncomfortable.
Perhaps because it’s the ‘slacker’ title, the lowest class of students, the exact figures have not been specified.
But what’s most exciting is that this title can be upgraded. Perhaps as the title continues to upgrade, the amount of cultivation he can obtain in the future will be higher.
This is purely sacrificing the teacher to benefit oneself. It’s just a pity that in the Heng Yuan World there are only Nascent Soul True Monarchs. If there was an Immortal Emperor, after listening to his lecture, he might directly progress to the Transcendance Tribulation stage.
However, this was just a beautiful fantasy. He could not possibly have the qualifications to listen to a lecture from an Immortal Emperor under his current Qi Refinement Realm. Now, he could listen to Gold Sword Zen Ren t s lecture, purely because he received the light of being a Direct Disciple.
Lin Yi shook his head. The most regrettable thing was that he obtained this [Slacker] title only after listening to this lecture, so the effect of this lecture was lost.
He absolutely cannot use it when receiving personal transmissions, or else, if the frequency was too high, even if each walkthrough only took mosquito- sized minuscule cultivation, it would still be noticed.
He pondered for a while and devised a plan. He would first make use of his spare time, continuously listen to lectures, so that this [Slacker] title could be upgraded. If he could upgrade it to ‘Top Student’, the obtained cultivation would surely be substantial.
Generally speaking, a lecture would only last about an hour at most, this bit of time could definitely be squeezed out.
“Alright, the lecture is over. You all go back first. Yun Feng will guard here.” As he saw everyone gathering around the breakthrough cultivator, Gold Sword Zen Ren waved his hand and said.
The other disciples all bowed in gratitude, “Thank you for the lecture today, grand master, we shall take our leave.”
After saying that, they all quickly left Golden Sword Hall, their hearts filled with jealousy and envy. This guy had broken through just by listening to a lecture without taking a Foundation Building Pill. He was definitely going to be appreciated by Gold Sword Zen Ren and there was a high possibility that he would become a Direct Disciple after his breakthrough.
After leaving the Golden Sword Hall, Lin Yi, on his Flying Boat, headed straight for the Inner Sect Heavenly Cloud Immortal City.
Within the Liu Yun Sect, besides the fixed lectures for Inner Sect Disciples of various lineages, there were also some Foundation Building cultivators who would set up paid lecture classrooms in Scripture Hall in the Heavenly Cloud
Immortal City to obtain more resources. Of course, the payment was in Merit Points instead of Spirit Stones.
At such lectures, there would be at least a hundred people at a time, and at times, even several hundreds. The bigger the reputation of the Foundation Building cultivator, the higher his cultivation level, the more people would be willing to listen to his lectures.
In such crowded classes, it would be perfectly suitable to subtly extract cultivation.
Upon reaching the Heavenly Cloud Immortal City, Lin Yi quickly walked into the Scripture Hall. Like the Merit Hall, there were mirror light projections in the main hall.
The screen displayed already registered scripture teaching classes, with clear listings of the course name, time, the cultivator level of the lecturer, and the required merit points.
Aside from the Foundation Establishment cultivators, some perfect Qi Refinement disciples had also opened courses, though the attendance was likely to be low.
This was the Inner Sect, not the Outer Sect. Each month, Inner Sect disciples had the opportunity to listen to scripture lectures given primarily by Foundation Establishment cultivators. It was unlikely that they would spend merit points in Heavenly Cloud Immortal City to listen to lectures given by perfect Qi Refinement disciples.
Upon scanning through, Lin Yi noticed that the merit cost for lectures given by Foundation Establishment cultivators usually started at one hundred points. The contents of the lectures ranged from cultivation methods and spells to symbol-making and alchemy, covering various skills.
There were even classes teaching how to collect merit tasks and determine the danger level of tasks, with diverse offerings that were almost overwhelming to take in.
However, his aim was only to increase the experience of his [Slacker] title, so he figured that listening to some low-requirement merit point classes would suffice.
Of course, the lecturer he chose had to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator, as the effect of his title was clear: listening to lectures from cultivators of a higher realm than himself.
Given his current actual cultivation level was at the Foundation Establishment level, listening to lectures given by perfect Qi Refining disciples wouldn’t increase his title’s experience or improve his cultivation level.
After looking at the screen for a while, Lin Yi found that the earliest lectures would start an hour later. Those scheduled within the next hour were automatically excluded.
The lecture locations were not in the Heavenly Cloud Immortal City. Attendees had to go to the lecturer’s cave mansion, thus making any classes within the next hour practically unfeasible due to time constraints.
Among the hundred merit point classes, he chose two that were relatively close in location and planned to give those a try first.
One was about symbol-making, the other taught spells. As for alchemy classes, the merit cost was relatively higher.
After all, if Inner Sect disciples wanted to learn alchemy, they either had to join Pill Hall and start at the bottom or teach themselves. Without a certain level of alchemy experience, even as an apprentice, Pill Hall wouldn’t consider taking them.
Therefore, alchemy classes were very popular. During his short stay in Scripture Hall, Lin Yi saw more than a dozen people signing up for the alchemy class.
The lecturers of these two classes were from different Golden Core lineages — one from the Hua Yang lineage and the other from the Wan Jun lineage. Both Golden Core level people had previously expressed doubts about him during the spirit grass tallying in the secret realm.
This made him feel even less guilty about siphoning their cultivation. He thought it would be nice if these two Golden Core people would also give public lectures someday.
He had heard that Golden Core people occasionally gave public lectures to the entire sect. Each time attracted thousands of listeners and was very popular, but such events only happened once every few years.
These two Golden Core peaks were located deep behind Liu Yun sect mountain gate. Green Jade Peak, where Sect Master Qing Yu Zen Ren resided, was situated between these two peaks, seemingly monitoring and deterring their activities.
After signing up, two hundred merit points were deducted from Lin Yi’s account. He received two tokens that would grant him access to the lectures. If he did not attend, there would be no reimbursement.
A hundred merit points was the same amount he had to pay for a year’s lease of the cave mansion when he first joined the Inner Sect of Liu Yun Sect.
If a lecture attracted a hundred students, that would amount to ten thousand merit points. No wonder there were so many Foundation Establishment cultivators eager to offer classes; it was a profitable venture.
In the Inner Sect of Liu Yun, even if one lacked spirit stones, one could not lack merit points, as they were essential for redeeming cultivation techniques, pills, and even spiritual weapon treasures.
However, after his trip to the Dan God Secret Realm, Lin Yi found himself neither lacking spirit stones nor merit points. The merit points he was compensated by the sect for the four spirit grasses he submitted earlier had already been credited to his account, amounting to tens of thousands of merit points.
His first class was scheduled for an hour later at Hua Yang Peak. The course content revolved around creating storage symbols over three sessions, with this being the first.
To truly learn this skill, he likely had to attend all three sessions. The strategy for earning merit points was crafty indeed..
