Lin Changsheng returned with a full load and once again entered his reclusive "homebody" mode. He declined all visits and invitations from Wang Chen and the others, citing "the last mission was too exhausting, I need to recuperate."

In reality, he was hiding in his small courtyard, happily digesting the gains from this trip. Nearly four hundred Contribution Points were a fortune for him.

Without hesitation, he went to the Cultivation Manual Pavilion and exchanged for a technique called the "Breath Concealment Technique." This was a spell specifically used to hide and disguise one's cultivation aura. Although somewhat niche, it was a necessity for Lin Changsheng.

He spent just one night to cultivate this technique, which typically required the late stage of Qi Refining to barely grasp, to perfection.
