I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 35 Cultivation and Employment
A floating city amidst the white clouds.

After a few brief pleasantries to build rapport, Yao Zhi finally got to the point: "Mr. Chen Jing inquired about the statue of the first Tiger Might General. He must have successfully entered the Dao through physiognomy and become a cultivator?"

Chen Jing nodded, sensing the envy in Yao Zhi's voice, and asked curiously, "Aren't you a cultivator?"

Yao Zhi's beautiful face revealed a bitter smile: "I do not have the aptitude for cultivating immortality. I only have the opportunity to enter the Boundless Realm by virtue of my ancestors' legacy, and learn a physiognomy technique to make a living."

Modern cultivation of immortality, although it does not involve the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth), does not mean that there are no requirements for aptitude. Spiritual roots are wisdom, perception, temperament, cognition, etc.

The main god simulated the cultivation of the Lotus Heart Seal Method, and 80% of people were stuck at the first hurdle of cultivation, which is the first chapter of the technique: the Heartless White Lotus Hidden Truth Visualization Method.

Since there was only one known sample—myself—the actual success rate was 100%, but it has now dropped by half.

Chen Jing didn't delve deeper into the topic and asked directly, "What price must one pay to venerate the Tiger God statue? If the price is too high, then forget it; after all, it's just a statue."

Yao Zhi shook her head: "No price is required! The statue of the first Tiger Might General was placed in Xu Family Village at the ferry, in the home of a stonemason named Xu Kaishan."

"The reason I requested a meeting is actually because there's another matter I need to discuss: I need a master of physiognomy."

Yao Zhi has a high level of understanding of physiognomy. Using physiognomy to enter the Dao only means that the upper limit is higher. However, the model of physiognomy in the real world has not yet been constructed, while the other party has already used it.

Chen Jing was slightly surprised: "With your level of physiognomy skills, isn't that enough?"

Yao Zhi shook her head again: "Not enough! Far from enough. All I know is physiognomy. It's not difficult for me to turn an ugly woman into a beautiful woman, but is this era lacking in beauties? No, it is. I need someone who has reached the level of divine physiognomy to create beauties like Bao Si and Da Ji."

"It won't take up too much of your time. You'll be paid per session, and each session will cost no less than 100,000 yuan."

Chen Jing successfully inherited the virtual estate of Xiaotuanshan. He could become a multi-millionaire simply by selling off a small portion of the land.

They weren't exactly poor, but deducing cultivation techniques and simulating training—which of these didn't require computing power?
The computing power is comparable to the spirit stones in cultivation novels; I not only don't want to sell it, but I'm even somewhat interested in buying it.

Poor scholar, rich warrior, spendthrift immortal—this is no joke, and excluding virtual resources and fixed assets, the balance has long been negative.

Electricity bills, living expenses, management fees, nutrition fees, and credit loans wouldn't last more than two months. At that point, I either had to sell virtual land or mortgage my real-world property. I was practically going crazy with poverty!

Having one order per month, with a stable income of 100,000, can solve the troubles of daily life.

Chen Jing remained calm and said indifferently, "I would like to hear the details!"

【drop! 】

Yao Zhi pointed her finger and projected a middle-aged man in a red suit with a refined appearance.

He asked, "Mr. Chen Jing, could you tell what type of girl he likes by observing her face, and create a face that can captivate her, haunt her dreams, and leave her unforgettable at first sight?"

Chen Jing sized up the man in the red suit, shook his head, and said, "Modern people are fickle. If someone can be seen through at a glance, it proves that they have no value in being seen through. As for those predators at the top of the food chain, they are capricious and their faces naturally conceal falsehoods, so—it is impossible to construct one."

Yao Zhi was not surprised and tapped her finger twice more.

This time, the pop-up showed information about the man in the red suit, including text, images, and video.

He continued, "Adding to this person's daily habits, upbringing, education, and information about those around them, can we now construct a picture of their dream girl?"

Physiognomy is never just about facial features; all behaviors can be considered physiognomy. Although Yao Zhi studied physiognomy rather than thought, her understanding of it was quite profound, and she clearly knew this, having prepared incredibly detailed materials. "Bang bang!"

Chen Jing tapped the tea table twice with his fingers.

His cold gaze fixed on Yao Zhi: "No problem! But there's one question, if I may ask, you're not planning on committing fraud, are you?"

"Giggle..."

"Mr. Chen Jing is really joking. I brought out his dream lover, whom he desires and thinks, even though he himself may not be able to describe in detail, from his illusory dream."

"And the price he has to pay is nothing more than a string of cold numbers that no longer excite him, a blessing beyond measure."

Yao Zhi covered her mouth and chuckled coquettishly. Seeing that Chen Jing was unmoved, her voice gradually turned cold: "Don't worry, it's really not a scam. These are all top-notch smart people. It's not only difficult but also very dangerous to swindle them out of their fortunes. But it's not hard to make them lose their minds and end up paying a considerable breakup fee. For some people, plucking a single hair is enough to satisfy most people's appetites."

"........."

Gray income that skirts the edge of legality.

Those who study physiognomy and cultivate immortality can find employment in this field, acting as pimps or mentors. However, if a single deal is worth over 100,000, it's not impossible for them to do it.

Chen Jing wouldn't comfort himself with the idea that even the biggest bosses' first pot of gold had a bit of a dark side.

Just like killing Zhou Qing and Zhou Silang, a strong heart doesn't need excuses to comfort itself; it can bear the sins that come with the pursuit of profit.

[Physiognomy System!]

A golden line appeared between Chen Jing's brows as he began to analyze the face of the man in the red suit.

If we analyze it solely using physiognomy, we will find many contradictory pieces of information about the man. Physiognomy is not able to understand people's hearts, so it needs to be extracted separately and analyzed by Chen Jing himself.

"This man appears refined but is actually domineering at heart. His ideal woman would be gentle and graceful, with a face without sharp features, and eyes..."

"The figure should not be too plump, the waist should be slender enough to be encircled by one hand... We also need to set an entry point, based on her original impoverished environment, to dress her with a little bit of rusticity, but not to cover up her beauty."

"........."

Chen Jing kept modifying the parameters, and the 'appearance' generated by the physiognomy system was adjusted accordingly. After half an hour of hard work, he finally successfully sketched out a stunningly beautiful woman.

While not as stunningly beautiful as Yao Zhi, she possessed a unique charm that made her unforgettable at first glance, a surefire way to win over admirers of her type.

Yao Zhi tilted her head, scrutinizing the woman in the light screen: "Is this his dream girl?"

Chen Jing shook his head: "Of course not, it's just the most rudimentary exterior finish, at most enough to get this top person to stay for a night of pleasure."

"You also need to cultivate an aura that will attract him. I will give you some information later on how to develop a gaze that will make his heart flutter, how to walk in a way that matches the rhythm of his heartbeat, and how to project an aura of melancholy like a lilac."

"Interests and hobbies should not be the same, as that would seem deliberate. However, they can be compatible and require certain behaviors to satisfy each other's sense of accomplishment."
