I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 34 The Formless Form
The saying "law, land, companion, wealth" has a long history.

The method was passed down by Li Banxian. Knowing its principles and understanding its methods, one must walk the path oneself.

The Land of No Form is a treasure land for cultivating the art of form, enhancing the influence of form on the senses. Moreover, it contains information on extraordinary forms, making it a book of form that encompasses all things. Traveling is reading, and traveling ten thousand miles is the same as reading ten thousand books.

However, he was truly lacking in companionship and wealth. Before entering the world of cultivation, he met a fellow cultivator, which filled him with a mixture of joy and trepidation.

【quit!】

Chen Jing's consciousness withdrew from the Realm of No Form.

Without returning to the real world, the Metaverse pod can cover all the functions of a mobile phone.

He instructed the main god's light sphere: "Dial a number for me, 186..."

After a brief wait, a cold, aloof female voice suddenly rang out: "Who are you? How do you know my number?"

Chen Jing organized his thoughts: "We don't know each other. Your maid gave me this number when I asked about the statue of the first Tiger General. I'd like to ask you to do me a favor and let me pay my respects to the statue of the first Tiger General."

Upon hearing the name of the statue of the first Tiger Might General, Yao Zhi knew it was related to the Boundless Realm, and her voice immediately softened: "I wonder if this gentleman has any free time? I have reserved a place in the Floating City of White Clouds, let's meet and talk in detail."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jing was slightly surprised. Ten years ago, he was the most beautiful courtesan in Xingshui City, which means he entered the Wuxiang Realm five years ago. He must have accumulated at least five years of cultivation. This senior's attitude was unusually kind. He still replied, "Okay, no problem."

"........."

In the complete replica of Earth, private territories like Xiaotuanshan, which are not open to the public, make up a very small percentage of the total area; the majority of the space is public.

The computing power corresponding to the land surface area is leased to manufacturers who open up virtual reality worlds. The land itself is not wasted; the right to operate and transform it is sold, which has created one wonder after another that is so different from the real world.

The Floating City is a city suspended high in the clouds.

The operators will publish the coordinates, which are latitude, longitude, and altitude, so that people can be directly teleported to that area.

[Teleport!]

Chen Jing entered the coordinates of the floating city, opened a vortex, and let his body be sucked in.

The next moment, they appeared in an ancient and charming aerial city, with buildings as majestic as sword towers, as vibrant as a hundred flowers, and as timeless as solitary rocks.

Although the pedestrians come and go in different clothes, they are not bothered by eating, drinking, or relieving themselves, and no household waste is generated, which creates the scenery of this smokeless city.

Having been in the Yuan Realm for three months, I had never left Xiaotuan Mountain. I walked to the edge of the floating island and looked down. The sky was clear and the clouds did not obscure my view. Mountains and rivers came into view.

The meticulously crafted scenery is breathtaking, but its beauty feels somewhat unnatural. Squinting at a peach blossom grove, one can even see hidden advertisements.

"We shouldn't keep people waiting, let's go to Baiyunjian first..."

Chen Jing arrived at Baiyun Teahouse based on the address provided by Bailizhi.

As I walked on white clouds to the entrance of an ancient building, a young waiter appeared at the door: "This is a restricted area. Do you have an appointment, sir?"

Chen Jing gave the number Baili Zhi had given him, and the waiter stepped aside slightly, leading him to a superior tea room in the ancient building with a gesture of his right hand. Inside the room, there was a tea table and various tea utensils, as well as two ordinary straw cushions.

A woman in a cheongsam leans against the window watching the clouds. Only half of her stunning profile can be seen. Her beauty is like the moon hidden by light clouds, or snow swirling in the wind. No words can adequately describe her appearance.

She looks like she's in her thirties, a flower in full bloom, but she's actually probably younger, around twenty-five or twenty-six.

The woman turned her head and said, "Sit down. My name is Yaozhi. What's your name?"

Chen Jing sat cross-legged on the futon and replied, "Chen Jing!"

Yao Zhi walked slowly in through the window, knelt down with her legs together, and said, "How about a cup of Quick Snow Clearing Tea?"

In the real world, there's a really tricky spoon that makes even plain water taste flavorful by stimulating your taste buds.

But tea in the virtual world is even worse; it has no flavor or aroma, and all you get is the misty tea vapor, which is as fleeting as fireworks.

Chen Jing shook his head decisively: "No need, let's talk about business first."

Yao Zhi didn't press the matter. She put down the tea leaves with snowflake patterns and smiled sweetly, "You've been staring at me for a long time. Do you think I'm beautiful?"

If this question were asked of someone else, it would be considered flirtatious, but when asked of Chen Jing, it was simply a question about appearance.

When Chen Jing saw Yao Zhi, he was not amazed by her stunning beauty. His first emotion was disappointment, though he did not show it on his face.

Since the other party had taken the initiative to ask about her appearance, I answered truthfully: "Beautiful, extremely beautiful, flawless beauty. It is rare to see so many beautiful qualities gathered in one person, but she is still a little short of being absolutely stunning."

Yao Zhi extended her slender white hand and smiled, indicating, "It's alright to talk in detail."

Chen Jing organized his thoughts and replied, "Perfection has its flaws. If a person is so perfect that they have no flaws, then any small problem will be magnified infinitely. If you really can't find any flaws, then you'll nitpick and mistake the truth for falsehood."

"With delicate earrings and a leather cloak covering her shoulders, if her appearance had no flaws, she would lack distinctive features. Although anyone who sees her at first glance would find her stunningly beautiful, she would hardly be able to win people's hearts."

"Just like Zhuangzi's 'Mountain Tree' and Yangzi's 'Song,' the beauty of the trees is self-evident, but I do not know its beauty."

Yao Zhi's appearance can be simply categorized into three words: misfortune, abandonment, and jealousy. She is prone to causing trouble for those around her, being abandoned by her partner, and being envied by women.

The opposite of Yao Zhi is the idiot beauty. Does anyone really like idiots? No, not at all. This woman is a level above all others in terms of beauty. If she had no flaws, ordinary people would not be qualified to touch her. Anyone who comes into contact with her, regardless of gender, is prone to developing a destructive desire.

What Chen Jing couldn't understand was how someone who was proficient in physiognomy could maintain such an ugly appearance when they had so many ways to change one's appearance.
Yao Zhi nodded, acknowledging Chen Jing's assessment of her appearance. After a pause, she said, "This is actually a carefully crafted appearance. Do you know what I do? I work in the medical aesthetics industry. The more jealous and hateful a woman is towards me, the more money I make. Being jealous and hating me is equivalent to helping me."

"I often mingle with successful men from all walks of life. I need to make these men amazed by my appearance, so that they don't reject my approach, but they can't be infatuated with me or cling to me. Only in this way can I navigate social interactions with countless men with ease. If they abandon me or discard me, it's like watering and fertilizing me."

"As for calamity, its roots are deep, so what is there to fear from the passing of a fleeting breeze? The waxing and waning of the bright moon is nothing to us."

Chen Jing pondered for a moment. His physiognomy skills had not yet been applied to the real world, but this passage provided a direct illustration of the differences between ancient and modern times.

He cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Times change and the world changes; appearances become non-appearances, and non-appearances become appearances. I have learned a lot!"
