Chapter 13: The Immortal Posture Technique!

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You’ve obtained the cultivation technique “Immortal Posture Technique”!]

[The reward has been sent to the system space. The host can check it anytime.]

A shimmering jade booklet appeared along with the system’s notification sound.

“Immortal Posture Technique?”

Lu Changsheng frowned as he looked at this reward.

Why did the name sound a bit odd?

He focused his mind and checked the “Immortal Posture Technique” in the system space.

Instantly, a stream of information appeared.

“In this world, all things have beauty and ugliness. A person’s looks, appearance, and voice are innate, but everyone has the right to pursue beauty.”

“This technique, named ‘Immortal Posture Technique’, aims to let everyone pursue the ultimate immortal appearance!”

[Technique: Immortal Posture Technique]

[Level: Unorthodox]

[Description: In ancient times, there was a genius known as the “Heaven’s Tears Elder”. Born with an ugly and repulsive appearance, he faced countless hardships and discrimination on his cultivation path. Thus, with great wisdom and perseverance, he created the ‘Immortal Posture Technique’. Cultivating this technique can improve one’s appearance, bones, skin, voice, and charm, as well as maintain eternal youth.]

“This……”

After seeing the information about this technique, Lu Changsheng was speechless.

He didn’t expect his second lottery draw would give him such a seemingly useless technique.

The Immortal Posture Technique, after cultivation, only made people look better, sound nicer, improve their charm and quality, and maintain youth. It had no other effects.

Lu Changsheng didn’t know what to say.

Wouldn’t any random technique be better than this?

“How bored must someone be to create such a useless technique?”

“What a waste of an unorthodox level technique.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and sighed, feeling quite disappointed.

From what he knew, in the cultivation world, techniques were classified as: Basic, Advanced, Exquisite, Unorthodox, and Orthodox.

The Recovery Technique he was cultivating was a basic level cultivation technique.

The Lu Family’s core technique was said to be an advanced level technique.

Now he had obtained an unorthodox level technique.

A technique two levels higher than the Lu Family’s core technique, yet it was just an auxiliary technique with no help for cultivation or combat.

This made Lu Changsheng feel awful and a bit sick.

“Well, although it seems useless, it can’t be completely worthless.”

“At least it has the effect of eternal youth, and being handsome and charming can make others like you more easily, which has its advantages.”

“I remember in a cultivation game I played in my past life, there was a playstyle called ‘sugar baby route’, where you’d become handsome and then rely on rich and powerful sugar mommies.”

“If I could find an immortal lady a few thousand years older than me in the future, my path to immortality would be smooth sailing.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and started to console himself.

Then he focused his mind and directly used the technique, inheriting it.

Immediately, detailed information about the Immortal Posture Technique and its cultivation methods flooded into Lu Changsheng’s mind.

“Tsk tsk tsk, so being ugly is this hard. No wonder this Heaven’s Tears Elder created such a technique.”

After thoroughly understanding the technique, Lu Changsheng sighed.

According to the records in this technique, people’s appearances were classified into seven levels: Repulsive, Ugly, Strange, Ordinary, Outstanding, Extraordinary, and Immortal Posture.

The creator, ‘Heaven’s Tears Elder’, had an appearance that fell into the Ugly and Repulsive category.

This led to him facing countless hardships and discrimination on his path of cultivation.

After all, such an appearance made people think he wasn’t a good person at first glance.

Not only were people unwilling to interact with him normally, but whenever something bad happened, suspicion easily fell on him.

Some appearance-obsessed individuals even tried to kill him, claiming his ugliness offended their eyes.

It was truly a tragic situation.

In his past life and this one, Lu Changsheng wasn’t particularly outstanding in looks, but he was far from ugly.

So it was hard for him to fully empathize with the ‘Heaven’s Tears Elder’s’ determination in creating this technique.

But after understanding the technique and learning about its creator’s experiences, he gained some understanding.

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

“Otherwise, given my current situation, spending time and energy on such a technique would truly be unwise.”

Lu Changsheng let out a light breath, preparing to cultivate this Immortal Posture Technique.

Although he had no obsession with his appearance, becoming more handsome and maintaining eternal youth wasn’t a bad thing.

Who knows, after becoming handsome, maybe some ‘immortal ladies’ would even throw themselves at him.

Besides, as an old saying from his past life goes, “Since you’re already here…”

Since he had already drawn this technique, wouldn’t it be a waste not to cultivate it?

The main point was that this technique was very simple to cultivate, with two methods.

One method was to absorb Qi through meditation, allowing it to circulate in the body and gradually improve and refine the body’s appearance and flaws.

The other cultivation method was to use the essences of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth spiritual materials as a foundation.

This way, one didn’t even need to cultivate actively. The five element essences in the body would automatically operate the technique, cleansing the physical body and improving one’s condition.

In simple terms, one would become increasingly handsome over time.

Moreover, there were no strict requirements for these five element material essences. Common first or Second-Tier spiritual materials would suffice, without needing any rare heavenly treasures.

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

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

Because he couldn’t afford even First-Tier spiritual materials.

Then, Lu Changsheng began cultivating the Immortal Posture Technique.

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

Although his appearance seemed exactly the same as before, he felt like he had become quite a bit more handsome.

After looking for about fifteen minutes, Lu Changsheng stopped.

Being self-aware, he knew this was just an illusion.

It was like feeling thinner every time after a run.

Besides, although the Immortal Posture Technique was an unorthodox level technique, it wasn’t that miraculous.

It wasn’t like one could transform from ugly and repulsive to having an immortal appearance right after cultivation.

Cultivating this technique would subtly improve one’s appearance, bone structure, skin, and so on in a positive direction.

Once these improvements reached a certain level, one’s personal limit, there would be no further effect.

It wasn’t like there were multiple levels, and reaching a certain level would suddenly make one have an immortal appearance.

If there was a standard for immortal beauty, and everyone cultivating this technique grew towards that standard, wouldn’t it be awkward if a group of people cultivating the technique all ended up looking the same?

That wouldn’t be worthy of being called an immortal appearance.

……

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

Due to his talent in talisman creation being revealed, life had become much more comfortable, and Lu Changsheng’s overall state of mind and body was quite good.

So in this month, with a bit of effort, he managed to get one of the two serving girls who hadn’t yet become his concubine pregnant.

Thinking that after both of them became pregnant, Uncle Fu would send more girls over, Lu Changsheng didn’t wait for Uncle Fu to take the initiative. He went to find Uncle Fu himself to express his intention to take more concubines.

After all, talisman creation and such were just fine as they were.

Marrying wives, taking concubines, and having children was the real way to go.

Through two system lottery draws, Lu Changsheng had tasted the sweetness of it.

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

Even after a year and a half, other cultivating seedlings still had some aversion to marrying and having children.

But Lu Changsheng not only wasn’t averse to it, he even took the initiative to express his desire to take concubines, which left Uncle Fu at a loss.

But after a moment of silence, he still agreed.

He asked Lu Changsheng what type he preferred, saying he would send two over later.

But he stated that including these two, Lu Changsheng had already married nine, so there wouldn’t be any more in the future.

Moreover, because of Lu Changsheng’s talent in talisman creation, Uncle Fu also offered some words of advice.

He told Lu Changsheng not to indulge too much in women and to focus more on the path of talismans.

Because of Lu Changsheng’s revealed talent in talisman creation, plus his farmer background and good performance over the past year and a half, the Lu Family already intended to absorb him as one of their own.

Whether he had fifty children or not wasn’t as important anymore.

If at this time, Lu Changsheng were to indulge in women and neglect his duties, ruining himself, even Uncle Fu, as the manager, would have a hard time explaining it.

To this, Lu Changsheng naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

He felt that nine was about enough.

If he had one child a year, he could have nine in nine years.

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

At the same time, he also sent four older women to serve Lu Changsheng’s family, doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of children.

Seeing the four women in their forties or fifties, Lu Changsheng let out a deep sigh.

He felt a bit offended.

Previously, the maids and serving girls sent to serve were all young women, but now they were older women.

It seemed these really were the last two.

Looking at the four older women who were already in their forties or fifties, Lu Changsheng heaved a deep sigh.
