From waterfowl, it began to transform into the Great Sun Golden Crow.

"I'm Chovy. What's this 'hidden fragrance youth-preserving technique'?"

"You're going to give me something? Give me good skills!"

"I've already been reincarnated as a bird, and you're giving me something to improve my appearance? What use is this in the world of cultivation?"

Nourish your mind and body, calm your spirit, and whiten your skin.

A gentle breeze rustles the willows, a sight of ethereal beauty.

This exercise has the effects of nourishing the skin and calming the mind.

Gu Heting was dumbfounded. What on earth was this? A rare wood-attribute treasure had awakened such an abstract skill.

Why can't we give him some wood-attribute skills that allow wood spirits to take root?

These are two rare and precious medicinal materials.

One cleanses his marrow and refines his essence, the other nourishes his complexion. Add a disguise technique, and he can become a top courtesan in a brothel.

"Well, something is better than nothing."

"Let's see what this beauty regimen is all about!"

The illustrations in the Phoenix Carrying the Book are somewhat similar to modern recipes. Each entry includes an image, followed by the cultivation method and mental manual. It also automatically generates some illustrations for easy viewing.

The illustration for this anti-aging technique depicts a woman.

The woman closed her eyes and parted her lips slightly. A calligraphy brush was applying eyeshadow to her.

The drawing is on the left and right.

The left side features an illustration of a woman, while the right side displays the Heart Sutra, a set of exercises.

【Her beautiful eyes were gently closed, her silver teeth lightly clenched. She channeled the energy of the Wood Spirit. She gently massaged the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes; after three breaths, the wrinkles would disappear.】

"Oh my god, I can't take it anymore. This anti-aging technique, and even the instructions for removing crow's feet."

"What other incredible things are there?"

However, to Gu Heting's surprise, the secret behind this anti-aging technique was even more incredible.

[Lip augmentation.]

[Reduce wrinkles.]

[Pull out dead skin.]

【...................。】

There's even one person who got double eyelid surgery. The entire book on anti-aging techniques is like a surgical bible. It's all about how to create a technologically advanced face.

In this world of cultivation where cosmetic surgery is nonexistent.

It'll probably be snapped up by those female cultivators. It's a pity there are no sects or people around. Otherwise, he could make several thousand copies and sell them.

"I'm exhausted, I'm completely worn out. Isn't there even one usable?"

"Huh, this?"

The penultimate page of the book contains the essence of the entire anti-aging technique.

Named

—Heavenly Beauty Agarwood.

The fragrance of agarwood is subtly alluring, and a thin mist gently sways.

[First stirrings of love, a smile playing on her lips]

[Soft, white limbs sway gently, stirring the heart, as erratic as a passing breeze.]

[How terrible! This delicate candle flame has ruined this beautiful night.]

Don't say that dreams of love and happiness are good.

[At the moment she turned her head, her alluring eyes were like daggers.]

Even with a body of steel, one cannot resist such alluring beauty.

"Uh........."

Gu Heting's face turned pale and then flushed. He felt his mouth was dry and his tongue parched, and a burning heat lingered within him.

The accompanying image shows a woman gently biting her red lips and raising her eyebrows slightly.

She lightly licked her lips, her eyebrows curving like captivating amber.

"Brother, isn't this the Love Affair Technique?"

"I am a bird, a bird."

"Why are waterfowl and birds imitating mimosa trees? Do you think anyone would watch a bird that twists its back like that? Isn't that crazy?"

A good rant won't dispel my frustration.

This is the only usable line in the entire book, but it's useless. Putting aside whether she's a female cultivator or not, just that flirtatious glance is something he couldn't do. Even if he were human, he wouldn't do such a thing.

Imagine a bird, gently biting its lip.

Twisting her boneless waist.

The scene was so beautiful, I dared not look.

"No, no, no... Gu Heting, stop with your fantasies." Gu Heting shook his head. He waved his hands and closed his Phoenix-Inscribed Book.

His biggest problem right now is that he doesn't have a decent offensive skill.

Even basic swordsmanship is more useful than these.

Now he doesn't ask for anything else, just a fire control technique.

"Sigh, starting from scratch is really hard. The hardest thing for people is to begin."

"Phoenix-carried book, can you help me store this lightning-struck wood?"

The phoenix-carrying book emitted a burst of golden light. The golden light flashed, and the lightning-struck wood vanished within the light. Beside the lightning-struck wood, a new line of small characters appeared.

This item has been stored.

"If you're paid to do something, you should get down to business."

After speaking, Gu Heting pushed off with both palms. He moved with the speed of a swallow or a bird in flight, and several black figures flashed past.

The trees rustled.

Each step was a step higher than the last. Soon, Gu Heting used the branches of the trees to climb to the top of the tallest, thousand-year-old tree. Standing alone, Gu Heting gazed into the distance.

In front of

The beautiful scenery of the entire Daluo Water Cave comes into view.

A thick fog enveloped the scene, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the misty clouds. Beneath the red sun on the horizon lay nine islands, layered upon each other, each with its own unique terrain.

The snow-capped mountains are surrounded by ice, creating a white landscape.

There are yellow sand hills with accumulated sand.

At its center stood an active volcano, spewing black mist. Gu Heting could even hear the roar of the erupting volcano. This was the work of a powerful being who created this magnificent Da Luo Watery Paradise.

One's vision and aesthetic sense should be different from those of ordinary people.

The scenery here is like a dream.

Each island has a different terrain. Gu Heting stood atop a tree, surveying the surrounding islands. His eyes were fixed on the active volcano.

There is a tree on the top of that active volcano.

He could smell the pervasive volcanic ash even standing atop a tree.

"It's too far. We need a bamboo raft."

With this in mind, Gu Heting jumped off the tall tree. He walked into the reeds and spent nearly five hours weaving a simple bamboo raft from the reeds.

The mighty river flows eastward, its white waves splashing.

The reed raft carried Gu Heting into the distance.

The water flowed slowly, and by the time Gu Heting arrived there, it was already midnight.

"Why does this place look so small? We've wasted so much time."

Standing atop the tall tree, the distant volcano looked like a small triangle. Before he'd walked more than a few steps, Gu Heting felt as if his leg was limping.

It's so hot.

Even the pebbles here are so hot.

The entire Changsha Island is barren. Unlike Shenzhou Island, the volcanic terrain has no shrubs. There isn't even a place to find shade. Flowing down from beneath it is billowing lava.

The lava carved out a murky river of fire from top to bottom.

As soon as it hit the water, it formed obsidian rocks. The entire outer perimeter of the volcanic island was formed by cascading lava. The only living organisms were the red fire ants on the ground.

They crawled into the crevices of the rocks and dug out rock ant nests.

The reason I was limping just now wasn't because of anything else.

Instead, it was a dazzling metallic ant gnawing on its own right leg.

"It hurts..."

Gu Heting kicked the ant away. A system notification sound followed.

【Changsha Island, a blessed land of water and lakes】

[A fiery display of lights, a blazing sun, has consumed the entire mountain.]

The terrain features a volcano rising abruptly from the ground. It is an active volcano that has existed for 2 years.

[In progress.]
