I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 159 Traditional Arts and Crafts (Third Update)

Lin.

"Madam, you may remove the cloth now."

"Slow down, don't rush. Open your eyes slowly and let them adjust to the low intensity of the light."

Under the guidance of the elders of the Suspended Pot Sect, Lu Shu removed the cloth covering her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she looked at the scene under the dim moonlight. Although it was a little blurry, she could still make out the outlines of the objects.

"how do you feel?"

"Hmm, very good... I can see clearly." Lu Shu looked at Qingfeng Yueying, her eyes without any soreness or stinging: "Before, because I read for too long, my vision would be a little blurry, and I was thinking about whether I should get glasses, but now I don't need to."

The elder stroked his beard and smiled: "After all, it's like getting a completely new pair of eyes."

These eyes were also donated voluntarily by the deceased, and the channels were completely clean.

After confirming the surgery was completed, the elder of the Suspended Pot Sect left with his medicine box, having collected a considerable amount of money for the consultation, at least ten times more expensive than a typical eye transplant.

The Suspended Pot Clinic has always operated this way: its fees are based on social status. It earns money from the wealthy by providing specialized, high-end medical services, thus freeing up funds to share with ordinary people.

The Lin family doesn't mind; as long as your surgical skills are good enough, they can afford to pay ten times, fifty times, or even a hundred times the amount.

Lin Jiaolu hugged her mother happily: "It's so wonderful that Mother has recovered."

Lu Shu touched Lin Jiaolu's forehead and asked, "Have you been a little bored these past two days with me? Aren't you going to see him?"

Lin Jiaolu shook her head: "My mother is more important."

She's a bit love-struck, but not stupid. Even her own mother wouldn't go to be with her unharmed sweetheart. Not to mention how heartbroken her parents would be, her sweetheart would probably be so angry he'd laugh.

Lu Shu was actually fine. She hadn't seen anyone and was being served so attentively these past two days that she felt a bit uncomfortable. However, because she was recuperating, she actually found joy in taking it easy. Being able to delegate tasks to others made her feel so comfortable and at ease.

This is the life Lu Shu wanted.

She loved literature, disliked traveling and sightseeing, and was happy to be a wife and mother. However, she also had her own ideals and hoped to write a masterpiece that would last for generations and leave a legacy for the literary world.

Although managing the vast Lin family business was her duty, it didn't mean she enjoyed that kind of life. Therefore, she would subconsciously project her unfinished life onto her daughter.

Lin Jiaolu can live freely, which is her mother's pride and wish, but...

“You should go see him.” Lu Shu gently rubbed her daughter’s cheek. “How can you win in the end if things continue like this?”

Lin Jiaolu's eyes flickered; she wasn't used to talking about this topic with her mother, so she could only bury her head and act coquettishly.

“You have better judgment than your mother, and you’re much luckier than me.” Lu Shu patted her back: “If you miss out on someone like this, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”

Lin Jiaolu said in a low voice, "But the person he likes is not me."

"So, you're planning to give up?"

Lin Jiaolu shook her head, then stubbornly said, "I insist on tasting what it's like to be forced into marriage."

"Silly girl," Lu Shu smiled faintly, "Actually, you still hold some weight in his heart, at least much better than Ruan Shi Nu."

"Of course, Ruan Mengyu and Zhuque Sword have nothing in common. We've been through life and death together." Lin Jiaolu couldn't help but feel a little proud as she said this, even though she was basically just a big shot and could only cheer her on.

"So don't give up this opportunity." Lu Shu taught her daughter many things: "Even if you stay at home practicing swordsmanship, you won't be able to improve further. Take Meiniang out with you, and the White Plum Sect's sword competition will be coming up soon."

"Love can't be waited for; you have to fight for it, fight for it bravely..."

"Why don't you do this..."

After listening to her mother's secret techniques, Lin Jiaolu asked curiously, "Mother, you sound very skilled. Have you practiced them all in real combat?"

"Not really, I just heard it from others. Many ladies are very skilled at tea ceremony." Lu Shu's romantic experience is not extensive, but she has a strong ability to summarize and generalize: "I was the passive party back then... However, men and women are in different situations, so it cannot be generalized."

Lin Jiaolu nodded and ran back to her room with Feixue.

At this moment, Lin Chongxiao came back and spoke, his words instantly revealing the old father's worry: "Jiaolu is really looking more and more like Lin Yue."

"...Your worries seem unnecessary."

“I thought so too at first; they really were a perfect match.” Lin Chongxiao sat to the side. “But no one expected the ending.”

"You supported us before, but now you disagree?" Lu Shu sighed, "It's too late, our daughter is already in it."

“Yes, Lin Yue was like that too. Once she fell in love, she didn’t care about anything else,” Lin Chongxiao said. “Her love was too intense. If she didn’t get a response, she would either destroy others or destroy herself.”

“There’s something wrong with the women of the Lin family.” Lu Shu sat up slightly. “Is this some kind of common problem?”

"Next time I dream, I'll ask our ancestors in my dream." Lin Chongxiao chose to skip the topic and then asked, "What advice did you just give your daughter? I... don't want to be a grandfather yet."

"What are you thinking? I don't want to be a grandmother so soon either." Lu Shu raised an eyebrow: "Do you think someone with her timid personality would have the guts?"

"She really does... Lin Yue had it back then. I thought she was very conservative, but it turns out she's even more reckless and wild than me, her older brother."

“Bai Xuan is not like Su Wuwo, that playboy. He looks like a celibate swordsman at first glance. He is invincible because he has no desires.” Lu Shu pointed to her newly restored eyes: “Su Wuwo goes to brothels to listen to music all the time, while Bai Xuan probably has never been to one.”

While the "raw rice cooked" trick is effective, it depends on the situation.

In Lin Jiaolu's case, she wasn't even able to break through the individual defenses of those around Bai Xuan.

"Then you..." Lin Chongxiao asked tentatively, "What did you have her learn?"

"One, a shortcut."

"Hmm?" Lin Chongxiao thought to himself, "Wife, you still say you don't want to be a grandmother? How about we put together a family dinner to lure him over, and put some good stuff in the pot?"

"I'm talking about shortcuts."

Lu Shu raised her chin slightly: "Do you still remember how the old master praised me when I was young?"

As the God of War in the Pure Love forum, Lin Chongxiao naturally remembered all of his wife's deeds without a doubt, and immediately replied, "He has read thousands of books and can remember everything he has seen."

This wave has generated immense emotional value.

Lu Shu spoke with a hint of pride: "I know the Lu family's martial arts by heart, and the Lin family's are no exception... My daughter is about to enter the Finger Profound realm, and she needs a sword technique. Your style is too fierce and unsuitable for her." Lin Chongxiao nodded, indeed, then his expression changed: "Wait, you don't mean you want her to learn that Shattered Dream technique..."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Lu Shu punched Lin Chongxiao. "How could I let her learn such evil martial arts?"

There are several evil martial arts in the martial arts world.

So-called evil techniques are those that take an unorthodox approach, offering rapid advancement and a high potential, but also causing significant side effects.

For example, evil practices related to blood can cause people to have a bloodlust.

There are several evil martial arts that were very famous, so famous that they were known throughout the martial arts world. However, for some reason, they have disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few copies sealed away.

Among the more famous evil arts, three are particularly notorious, and to this day, some demonic practitioners are still searching for their whereabouts.

The first type is the Unfounded Treasure Mirror... This technique was created by a woman named Shang Tinghua, who was famous in the martial arts world. She rose from humble beginnings without any background and achieved the highest rank within fifty years. Even a hundred years after her death, she was still remembered by many.

Later, her descendants, who never forgot her, went through countless hardships and finally found her tomb in the far north. After opening it, they discovered her life record and the "Fictional Treasure Mirror," and found that... she was not a woman at all, but a man.

The book "The Unfounded Treasure Mirror" states from the very beginning that only men can cultivate, and that one must cut off their male genitalia to become neither male nor female before they can begin cultivation. Furthermore, this cultivation method requires dual cultivation, and one can become stronger simply by constantly engaging in dual cultivation and sleeping with someone.

Um... it's the kind of dual cultivation method where you keep going in and out.

This person is a master who rose to the Heavenly Rank by sleeping all the way through.

Once this matter was announced, it shocked the entire martial arts world, leaving everyone in the martial arts community of the Northern and Southern Dynasties completely stunned.

The technique fell into the hands of many people, but whether they actually practiced it or not, no one knows.

If it's just killing a chicken, many people can grit their teeth and accept it... but if 1-1=0, then that's a bit...

Of course, some people must have mastered it, because this evil skill once caused chaos throughout the martial arts world, and even the most famous courtesan noticed a recent decrease in customers.

Later, a high-ranking official intervened and rectified the unhealthy trend, declaring that anyone seen practicing this absurd treasure manual within fifty years would be killed on sight!

The second type is those with unwavering integrity.

The effect of this technique is to absorb minerals to increase the hardness of one's bones and strengthen them in a wondrous way, making it an excellent method for body refinement.

However, it has a very serious side effect.

That means it will constantly stimulate bone growth, and eventually the bone will break through the skin and flesh, making the person neither human nor ghost.

Many people who practice this end up killing themselves.

Unfortunately, this evil technique is extremely strong in both defense and offense, and has the ability to fight opponents of higher levels.

Later, a master from the Northern Zhou Dynasty had a sudden inspiration and improved this move. He no longer devoured ores, but used other methods instead. He no longer tempered his entire skeleton, but instead tempered his hands.

As a result, his forearms were successfully tempered, his palms were cut off, and his left and right hands were shaped into two sharp iron swords, thus achieving the state of man and sword as one, and within ten years he killed three people on the Earth Ranking.

At this point, some people in the martial arts world had already begun to reconsider similar usages.

However, the way this master died was so abstract that many people gave up on the idea.

Because he has no hands, it is not very convenient for him to do anything. Eating is one thing, but he needs help to clean up after using the toilet.

But one day, when he was out, he ate a fish and got a fish bone stuck in his throat. In that instinctive reaction, he raised his right hand to press on his throat, but he forgot that his right hand was a sword. His throat was cut by the sharp sword, and he bled profusely and died on the spot.

This is not the end.

About thirty years later, someone imitated this person and also learned this evil skill, and almost mastered it.

But this younger generation differed from the former in one aspect: he had no money and was a nobody.

This means that once he loses both hands, and before he makes a name for himself, he will have to take care of his daily life on his own.

So when he went to the toilet, he would slowly scrape with a knife in both hands.

Moreover, excrement is poisonous and can be used to enchant weapons. In ancient warfare, boiling excrement was poured over city walls and the enemy would remain silent. There was even a derivative tactic of using poison cannons.

Moreover, hygiene habits were generally poor in that era; he would at most wash his hands, but it was impossible for him to disinfect them.

Over time, the two knives became somewhat rusty, and one day, after accidentally relieving himself, he slashed the steel door.

Oh dear... I got tetanus directly, and I won't be able to save myself for long. I sent it to the vet.

From then on, this evil skill essentially became a thing of the past, and no one would attempt to develop it again.

The third one...

The Shattered Dream Technique is both a sword technique and a saber technique.

Sharp and unparalleled.

There is absolutely no problem with the succession of the Heavenly Throne.

It has only one minor flaw.

Anyone who practices this technique will inevitably have their beloved cheat on them.

Regardless of gender.

I'm sure some smart people will say, "Then I, a single person, can just start practicing. How can it make non-existent people exist?"
Yes, brother, you can.

Once you master the Shattered Dream Technique, you can meet your life partner at an extremely fast pace, and it's almost always love at first sight, leaving you with no chance to resist.

Then, suddenly, the other person cheated on him.

That's how fast it is.

……

“I’m not talking about the Shattered Dream Technique,” ​​Lu Shu shook her head and said, “It’s the Wedding Dress Mystery.”

Lin Chongxiao blurted out, "Isn't this a technique exclusive to losers?"
