Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 79: Those Favored Take It for Granted!

”Gift successfully delivered!”

”The gift: Extreme Joy Technique*.”

”Processing feedback….”

”Fifteenfold feedback in progress....”

”Reward: Great Joy Zen Method!”

”Great Joy Zen Method: The path of ultimate pleasure, a method of dual cultivation, allows both or multiple cultivators to experience immense joy while simultaneously greatly enhancing their cultivation. Additionally, practitioners can rely on this technique to solidify their foundation, bolster their essence, and grow ever stronger, with no time limit....”

”The reward has been delivered to the hostʼs storage space.”

Upon hearing the systemʼs prompt echo in his mind, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

Great Joy Zen Method? The name sounded impressive. From the description, it seemed much more powerful than the Extreme Joy Technique. At the very least, it lacked the time restriction.

Moreover, it offered the ability to grow stronger with every battle. As for the ”immense improvement” it promised, the true extent of its power would only become clear once he tested it for himself.

Overall, the reward left Ye Chen in high spirits. On the second day after joining the Green Cloud Sect, he had encountered the ideal thirtyfold feedback female cultivator, Yao Xi. And on top of that, he had received a dual cultivation technique that looked promising. It was nothing short of perfect. Indeed, joining the Green Cloud Sect had been the right decision.

...

”Junior Brother, please donʼt send me things like this again. Recently, Iʼve been planning to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, so Iʼll likely be in seclusion for a while. If you need anything, you can visit me at my residence.”

Sun Ruoxin spoke seriously. She was hinting that Ye Chen should choose more useful gifts in the future. And, of course, she would also take the opportunity to show him around.

Ye Chenʼs lips curled into a smile as he listened. With the thirtyfold Senior Sister, who would bother sending you gifts every day? Was she dreaming?

Ye Chen had already made plans to attend the alchemy class, coincidentally run into Senior Sister Yao Xi, and give her a gift.

Sun Ruoxinʼs importance to him had drastically diminished. But it was still necessary to know where she lived, just in case. If he couldnʼt find Yao Xi sometimes, Sun Ruoxin could be of use.

The two of them soon left the grand plaza and arrived at the disciplesʼ living quarters. The disciplesʼ area wasnʼt bad, with small courtyards scattered about. Each one occupied roughly a hundred square meters. The conditions could only be described as neither too good nor too poor.

Standing there, Ye Chen could clearly feel the concentration of spiritual Qi was far lower than what he experienced at the Sword Peak. Living on the main peak and enjoying the richer spiritual Qi was one of the perks of being a direct disciple.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Sun Ruoxinʼs courtyard. Worried that Ye Chen might follow her in and try to take advantage of the situation, Sun Ruoxin hesitated. After all, she still wanted to keep receiving gifts from him. She couldnʼt be too harsh in rejecting him, or else it would be easy to end up on the losing side.

So, with a slightly embarrassed expression, she spoke, ”I was just assigned here yesterday, and itʼs still a mess inside. Iʼll have to invite you for tea next time.”

Ye Chen chuckled upon hearing this.

But this suited Ye Chen just fine. He was eager to return and test out the dual cultivation technique. Without saying another word, he turned around and left decisively, not a shred of reluctance in his movements.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on . Report any occurrences elsewhere.

This attitude caught Sun Ruoxin off guard. A sense of doubt rose within her. Had she been too distant, making Ye Chen angry? She couldnʼt help but think about what Ye Chen had done for her.

Even just getting a Green Cloud Sect spot was invaluable. Not to mention all the gifts Ye Chen had given her. Yet, she had acted like she wasnʼt satisfied. She hadnʼt even invited him in for a cup of tea. Anyone in Ye Chenʼs place would be upset.

But, even though she knew she might have gone a little too far, Sun Ruoxin had no intention of changing her attitude. After all, Ye Chen was so beneath her. She had only said those things out of gratitude, yet Ye Chen had taken it seriously. He had even bought her a dual cultivation technique.

Ye Chenʼs gift of the Green Cloud Token was far from sincere. He was clearly after her body. If she showed him even the slightest kindness, Ye Chen would surely take advantage of it. Perhaps he might even attempt to engage in more intimate matters with her. Therefore, she couldnʼt afford to treat him kindly.

As for whether Ye Chen would get angry, or distance himself from her? Sun Ruoxin wasnʼt concerned in the slightest. Ye Chen had given her the Green Cloud Token. He had believed the absurd lie about the flying boat without hesitation. This clearly showed how deeply he was infatuated with her.

A man like Ye Chen, so consumed with love, would never truly get angry at her. No matter how coldly she treated him, he would always remain devoted, always willing to support her. There was no need to worry. In any case, when it came to Ye Chen, Sun Ruoxin was utterly fearless.

…

Ye Chen returned to the Sword Peak in a pleasant mood, entering his courtyard. On the entire Sword Peak, aside from his master, there were only a few others. It was a peaceful and quiet place.

Upon entering the courtyard, both Lu Jing and Lin Keʼer had already woken up. At the sight of Ye Chen, their faces flushed.

”Greetings, Young Master….”

After giving themselves completely to Ye Chen the night before, both Lu Jing and Lin Keʼer had no lingering doubts. They had fully accepted their current situation. Now, they were content to serve as his maidservants.

In truth, serving as Ye Chenʼs maidservants wasnʼt a bad arrangement. Ye Chen had promised to provide them with the pills they needed for cultivation. Each month, they would also receive a middle-grade spirit stone as a reward.

Such treatment, in the outside world, might make even female cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage fall willingly into Ye Chenʼs embrace. All they had to do was stay by his side, attending to his needs, and they would have access to all the cultivation resources they could ever want. It was, without a doubt, the dream job for most cultivators. So, both women were genuinely willing to serve as maidservants now.

Next, Lu Jing went to prepare the meal, while Lin Keʼer tidied up the room. Meanwhile, Ye Chen retrieved the ”Great Joy Zen Method” from his storage ring, a reward from the system. He pressed the jade slip to his forehead.

Instantly, a torrent of information surged into his mind. To his delight, not only did the jade slip contain the method for cultivating the Great Joy Zen, but it also included the 365 dual cultivation positions of the Joyful Zen Sect.

After quickly scanning through all the positions, Ye Chen felt as if his horizons had been dramatically expanded. Cultivators possessed a vast array of spells, so it was only natural that the variations of practices were innumerable.

Upon finishing, Ye Chen was left with a single thought: all those AV directors in his past life had ultimately been too conservative.

Entering the basics of dual cultivation wasnʼt difficult. By the end of the afternoon, Ye Chen had grasped the fundamentals. It was only natural for someone to feel eager to try out something new once they had learned it.

After dinner, Ye Chen gazed at the starry sky for a moment before calling the two women into the room. Upon hearing his voice, the two womenʼs beautiful faces flushed with a soft pink hue.

They had already completely surrendered to Ye Chen, their bodies now belonging to him. But the thought of the three of them together still felt somewhat awkward. Despite the embarrassment in their hearts, the two women obediently entered the room. When they saw Ye Chen take out the bed made of stalactite jade, their eyes went wide with astonishment.

The Stalactite Jade Spirit Bead Bed was completely translucent, with spiritual Qi swirling around it like a small, portable spiritual gathering array. Practicing on such a bed would undoubtedly yield results far beyond ordinary methods.

What was even more surprising was that the surface of the bed seemed to be as soft as jelly, making a mattress entirely unnecessary. Neither of them had expected Ye Chen to possess such a treasure.

After Ye Chen briefly explained the bedʼs properties, the two women were even more shocked. This bed could actually accelerate cultivation. How many spirit stones must it be worth? And with such a large size, it was clear that regular storage bags couldnʼt hold it.

Therefore, Ye Chenʼs storage bag was much larger than the ones he had given to them. However, this discovery didnʼt cause any dissatisfaction in the two women. On the contrary, they felt that Ye Chenʼs foundation was deeper and more profound than they had ever imagined. To follow such a man was undoubtedly their good fortune. But soon, both women no longer had the time or leisure to think about any of that….
