“Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring the Immortal Beauty Technique!”

“The reward has been delivered to the System Space, and the host can check it at any time.”

A crystal-clear jade scroll pattern emerged, accompanied by the system notification sound.

“Immortal Beauty Technique?”

Lu Changsheng furrowed his brows slightly as he looked at this reward.

Why does the name sound so strange?

He stirred his mental spirit and checked the Immortal Beauty Technique in the System Space.

Instantly, a surge of information appeared.

“All things in the world have their beauty and ugliness, and the appearance of people, their outer expressions and tones, are innate, but everyone has the right to pursue beauty.”

“This technique, called ‘Immortal Beauty Technique,’ is designed to let everyone pursue an unrivaled immortal beauty!”

“Cultivation Technique: Immortal Beauty Technique”

“Grade: Peripheral Sect Level”

“Description: In ancient times, there was an incredibly talented and beautiful individual known as the ‘Heavenly Weeping Elder.’ Born with an unattractive and repulsive visage, he suffered countless disdainful hardships on his path of cultivation. Thus, with immense wisdom and perseverance, he created the ‘Immortal Beauty Technique.’ Cultivating this method can improve one’s physical appearance and charm, transforming bone beneath the skin and altering voice and appearance, enhancing charisma, and preserving eternal youth.”

“This…”

After seeing the information about the technique, Lu Changsheng felt somewhat…

He hadn’t expected his second lottery to yield such a trifling cultivation technique.

The Immortal Beauty Technique, after cultivation, aside from making one look more attractive, sounding nicer, enhancing temperament and charm, and maintaining everlasting youth, had no other effects.

Although Lu Changsheng thought it was not bad,

under his current circumstances, wouldn’t any proper cultivation technique be better than this type of technique?

“How bored must someone be to create such a trifling technique,” he wondered.

“What a waste of a Peripheral Sect Level technique.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and sighed deeply, feeling very regretful.

According to his understanding, in the Cultivation World, techniques were classified as: Primary Level, Advanced Level, Exquisite Level, Peripheral Sect Level, Orthodox Level.

The Returning Origin Technique that he was cultivating was a Primary Level cultivation technique.

And the core technique of the Lu Family, he heard, was an Advanced Level cultivation technique.

Now he had acquired a Peripheral Sect Level technique.

A technique two levels higher than the Lu Family’s core technique turned out to be an auxiliary technique that was of no help in cultivation or combat.

This caused Lu Changsheng to feel very uncomfortable, almost nauseous.

“Although it’s trifling, it can’t be said to be completely useless,”

“At least it has the effect of keeping one’s youth forever, and being handsome and charismatic indeed makes it easier to win people’s good favor, bringing many advantages.”

“I remember in my previous life, I played a cultivation game where there was a play style called ‘living off a wealthy patroness’ where you rely on good looks to latch onto rich ladies and big shots.”

“If in the future I could find some fairy who’s a few thousand years older than me, my path to immortality would be smooth sailing.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, beginning to comfort himself.

Then he stirred his mental spirit and used the technique directly to inherit it.

Immediately, detailed information about the Immortal Beauty Technique and the method of cultivation flooded into Lu Changsheng’s mind.

“Tsk tsk tsk, to think being ugly could be so difficult, no wonder the Heavenly Weeping Elder created such a technique.”

After comprehensively understanding the technique, Lu Changsheng voiced a sigh of realization.

According to the records in this technique, it classifies a person’s appearance into seven levels: revolting, ugly, odd, ordinary, outstanding, transcendent, and immortal beauty.

And the appearance of the creator, the ‘Heavenly Weeping Elder,’ fell into the revolting and ugly category.

This also led to his suffering of countless disdainful hardships on his cultivation journey.

After all, with such a visage, one tends to be perceived as untrustworthy.

Not only are people generally reluctant to interact, but also, in the event of any trouble, suspicions easily fall upon him.

Some even despised him for being too ugly, feeling that their eyes were polluted, and directly resorted to violence.

It truly spelled a massive tragedy.

In his past and current life, Lu Changsheng, though not exceptionally handsome, was not ugly either.

So, he could hardly relate to the ‘Heavenly Weeping Elder’s’ resolve in creating this technique.

But having understood the creator’s heart and the technique’s purpose, he gained some insight.

“Fortunately, cultivating this technique won’t require much effort and won’t interfere with my cultivation,”

“Otherwise, given my current situation, it would be unwise to spend time and energy cultivating such a technique.”

Lu Changsheng breathed out lightly, preparing to cultivate the Immortal Beauty Technique.

Although he had no obsessions about his looks, if he could be more handsome and maintain eternal youth, why not?

Being more attractive, perhaps he’d even get fairies to take initiative in the future.

Besides, as an old saying from his previous life goes, since he’s here, he might as well enjoy it.

Since I obtained the cultivation technique, not practicing it would seem like a huge waste, wouldn’t it?

The main thing is that this particular technique is very simple to cultivate, with two methods of practice.

One method is through meditation, drawing in spiritual energy to wander through the body, slowly refining and improving imperfections and flaws in one’s appearance.

The other method involves using the essence of the five elements—spiritual gold, spiritual wood, spiritual water, spiritual fire, and spiritual earth— to establish a foundation.

With this, there would be no need for me to cultivate on my own. The essence of the five elements within would auto-operate the technique, cleansing the body and enhancing my condition.

Plainly speaking, as time passes, a person would keep getting more handsome.

Furthermore, the essence of these five elements doesn’t set high standards, ordinary first and second rank spiritual materials would suffice, there’s no need for heaven-sent treasures or rare spiritual objects.

The higher the quality of the materials, the better the effect.

However, Lu Changsheng could only use the first method for the time being.

Because he couldn’t afford even the first grade spiritual materials.

Immediately after that, Lu Changsheng began cultivating the Immortal Beauty Technique.

One night passed, and the next day, Lu Changsheng looked at himself in the mirror.

Although his appearance was exactly the same as before, he always felt as if he had become a lot more handsome.

After looking at himself for a half an hour, Lu Changsheng stopped.

Self-aware as he was, he knew this was an illusion.

It’s just like how you always feel thinner immediately after a run.

And this Immortal Beauty Technique, although a peripheral sect level technique, isn’t that miraculous.

It’s not like practicing it will transform one from ugly and loathsome to peerlessly divine.

Only that by cultivating this technique, one’s facial features, bone structure, and skin, among other things, would subtly and quietly improve for the better.

Once the improvement reaches a certain level and one’s own limit, there would be no more effect.

It’s not like there are different layers, and once you reach a certain layer, you become divine in appearance.

If there were a standard for peerless beauty, and everyone cultivated toward that aspect, wouldn’t it be awkward to end up all looking like clones?

Such individuals wouldn’t deserve the title of peerless beauty then.

…

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

Because his talent for talisman making became apparent, his standard of living improved quite a bit, and Lu Changsheng was in good physical and mental shape.

Therefore, in this month, by putting in a little effort, he managed to get one of the two maids, who had yet to be taken as concubines, pregnant.

Thinking that once both women were pregnant, Uncle Fu would send more girls his way, Lu Changsheng didn’t wait for Uncle Fu to take the initiative, instead, he proactively went to Uncle Fu to discuss the matter of taking concubines.

After all, talisman making was reasonably well managed.

It was in taking wives, accepting concubines, and producing children that one finds the true principle of life.

Having tasted the sweetness from two system lottery draws, Lu Changsheng was eager for more.

When Uncle Fu learned of Lu Changsheng’s intentions and heard what he said, he fell silent.

Even after a year and a half, other Immortal Seedlings were still somewhat resistant to marriage and childbearing.

Yet, Lu Changsheng not only did not resist but also actively expressed his desire to take more concubines, catching him off guard.

But after a moment of silence, Uncle Fu agreed.

He asked Lu Changsheng about his preferences, saying he would send two over to him later.

He pointed out, however, that with these two, Lu Changsheng would have married nine, and so there would be no more, and he could not take any additional concubines in the future.

Additionally, because of Lu Changsheng’s talent for talisman making, Uncle Fu also took the opportunity to offer some advice.

He urged Lu Changsheng not to be too indulgent in pleasures of the flesh, and to focus more on the Talisman Path.

Because of the talisman making talent displayed by Lu Changsheng over the past year and a half, as well as his farmer origins, the Lu Family was already considering integrating him as one of their own.

Whether or not he fathers fifty children had become less important.

If Lu Changsheng were to become obsessed with his passions and neglect his proper business, squandering his own abilities, Uncle Fu as the steward would have a hard time explaining himself.

To this, Lu Changsheng readily agreed, feeling that nine was indeed enough.

If it were possible to have one child a year, he could have nine in a single year.

Ten days later, Uncle Fu sent two young women from the Lu Family to Lu Changsheng, fulfilling the promise of concubines he had made.

He also sent over four elderly nursemaids to take care of Lu Changsheng’s family, to do laundry, cook, and look after the children.

Seeing the four nursemaids, who were all in their forties or fifties, Lu Changsheng sighed deeply.

He felt as if he had been slighted.

The attendants and maids sent to serve him in the past had all been young women, but now they were old nursemaids.

It seemed that these were indeed the last two.
