My Xiuxian painting style is not right

"System, please tell me quickly, what should I do?" Chen Yu asked anxiously. The flowers and plants in the yard had lost their color in his eyes, leaving only gray.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the 'Harem Management System'! A newbie gift pack has been issued to the host, containing a 'Harem Management Manual', a set of 'Universal Cultivation Secrets', and a 'Harem Favorability Detector'!"

The mechanical voice of the system sounded in Chen Yu's mind, like a ray of light illuminating his confused future.

Chen Yu perked up immediately upon hearing this. He quickly opened his system backpack, and an antique thread-bound book suddenly appeared before his eyes. On the cover were four large, flamboyant characters: "Harem Management Manual."

Chen Yu carefully opened the manual, and a musty smell hit him in the face, almost making him faint.

He looked carefully and saw that the words on the book were densely packed and all in classical Chinese, which made him dizzy.

"Who can understand this stuff!" Chen Yu couldn't help but complain.

"It has been detected that the host has reading difficulties. The 'Modern Chinese Translation' and 'Audio Reading' functions have been enabled."

The system's voice sounded at the right time.

Chen Yu's eyes lit up. The words on the book instantly changed into easy-to-understand vernacular. At the same time, a gentle female voice began to read aloud: "Chapter One: Fairness and Justice, Equal Treatment..."

Chen Yu listened with great interest, nodding from time to time, as if he had been enlightened.

Only then did he understand that the essence of harem management lies in fairness and justice, and equal treatment of all.

"System, how do I use this favorability detector?" Chen Yu closed the manual and asked.

A thermometer-like object appeared in Chen Yu's hand, displaying the names of Lin Qingxue, Liu Ruyan, and Zixia, as well as their degree of favorability towards Chen Yu.

Lin Qingxue's favorability: 50 fluctuating

Liu Ruyan's favorability: 30, burning with anger

Zixia's favorability: 70 slightly favorable

Chen Yu looked at these three numbers with mixed feelings. It seemed that neither Lin Qingxue nor Liu Ruyan had a favorable impression of him, especially Liu Ruyan, who practically wanted to eat him alive.

"It seems I have to find a way to improve their favorability." Chen Yu thought.

He suddenly had an idea and thought of the "Universal Cultivation Secret Book" given by the system.

This secret manual is said to be all-encompassing, covering various cultivation methods, from alchemy to weapon refining, from talismans to formations, everything is included.

Chen Yu felt that instead of letting Lin Qingxue, Liu Ruyan and Zixia stay at home every day and fight with each other, it would be better to let them practice together and improve their strength. This would not only divert their attention, but also increase their favorability towards him, killing two birds with one stone.

"Let's do it!" Chen Yu made up his mind and immediately found Lin Qingxue, Liu Ruyan and Zixia.

Lin Qingxue was sitting in the room crying silently, Liu Ruyan was sulking in the yard, and Zixia was meditating in the room.

Chen Yu first came to Lin Qingxue's room and knocked on the door gently.

"Who is it?" Lin Qingxue asked with a sob.

"It's me, Chen Yu." Chen Yu replied.

Lin Qingxue hesitated for a moment and then opened the door. Her eyes were red and swollen, her face was pale, and she looked very charming.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Qingxue asked coldly.

Chen Yu took out the "Universal Cultivation Secret Book" and handed it to Lin Qingxue, saying, "Qingxue, I have a set of cultivation secret books here, and I want to practice with you."

Lin Qingxue looked at the secret book in Chen Yu's hand, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"Cultivation secret book?" Lin Qingxue asked, "What kind of secret book is it?"

Chen Yu opened the secret book and pointed to one of the pages and said, "Look, this is the 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Heart Sutra'. It is said that if you practice it to the extreme, you can ascend to become an immortal."

Lin Qingxue looked at the words on the secret book and her heart moved. She had dreamed of becoming a powerful cultivator since she was a child, but unfortunately she had never found the right technique.

"Really?" Lin Qingxue asked.

Chen Yu nodded: "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you?"

Lin Qingxue hesitated for a moment and took the secret book.

Chen Yu came to Liu Ruyan again and handed her the same secret book.

Liu Ruyan was sulking, and when she saw Chen Yu coming over, she said unhappily, "What are you doing here?

Do you want to piss me off again?"

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Ruyan, how could I be angry with you? I'm here to give you something good."

"What good stuff?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Chen Yu handed the secret book to Liu Ruyan and said, "This is a set of cultivation secrets that can help you quickly improve your strength."

Liu Ruyan took the secret book, flipped through it, and found that the content was indeed very attractive.

"Is this...is this true?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Chen Yu nodded: "Of course it's true, how could I lie to you."

Liu Ruyan looked at Chen Yu, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Finally, Chen Yu came to Zixia's room and handed the secret book to her.

Zixia was meditating and practicing. Seeing Chen Yu coming over, she smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?"

Chen Yu handed the secret book to Zixia and said, "Fairy Zixia, this is a set of cultivation secrets, maybe it will be helpful to you."

Zixia took the secret book, flipped through it, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"This...where does this come from?" Zixia asked.

Chen Yu smiled mysteriously: "This is a secret."

Chen Yu called Lin Qingxue, Liu Ruyan, Zixia, and the Seven Fairies to the yard and began to explain the contents of the "Universal Cultivation Secret Book".

"Today, I will tell you about the essence of cultivating immortals." Chen Yu said seriously.

Lin Qingxue, Liu Ruyan, Zixia and the seven fairies all listened attentively.

Chen Yu cleared his throat and said, "In fact, cultivating immortality is a process of energy transformation.

The spiritual energy in our bodies is a kind of energy. Through cultivation, we can transform this energy into a higher level of energy, thereby increasing our strength."

The girls were stunned when they heard this. They had never heard such a statement before.

Chen Yu continued, “We all know that the law of conservation of energy is one of the most basic laws in the universe.

That is, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another.”

"So, the purpose of our cultivation is to transform the spiritual energy in our bodies into higher-level energies, such as immortal power, divine power, and so on."

Chen Yu talked incessantly, occasionally using modern physics knowledge to explain the principles of cultivating immortals, leaving the women confused.

Although they didn't quite understand what he said, they all felt that what Chen Yu said made sense and was very interesting.

Chen Yu looked at the beauties in front of him who were either confused or curious, and felt proud in his heart. This "universal cultivation secret" was indeed useful. At least now everyone had quieted down and stopped making noise.

He cleared his throat and continued, “According to my research, the speed of cultivation is closely related to the environment.

The fairyland is rich in spiritual energy, so the fairies can achieve twice the result with half the effort in their cultivation.

The spiritual energy in our mortal world is thin, so cultivation is naturally much slower."

Zixia nodded in agreement: "Mr. Chen is absolutely right. The spiritual energy in the immortal world is indeed much richer than that in the mortal world."

"So, if we want to increase our cultivation speed, we must improve the environment in which we cultivate."

Chen Yu pointed to a picture in the secret book and said, "This picture shows a formation called the 'Spirit Gathering Formation'. It can gather the surrounding spiritual energy to form a spiritual energy-rich cultivation space."

Lin Qingxue looked at the picture carefully and asked, "This formation looks very complicated. Can we learn it?"

"Of course!" Chen Yu said confidently, "This manual not only contains diagrams of the formation, but also detailed step-by-step instructions. I guarantee you'll learn it!"

He pulled out a pile of colorful stones from his system backpack and said, "These are the spirit stones needed to set up the spirit gathering array. I've prepared them for you."

Hong'er, one of the seven fairies, picked up a red spiritual stone and asked curiously, "What kind of stone is this?

It looks shiny and pretty.”

"This is not an ordinary stone, it is a spiritual stone, which contains rich spiritual energy."

Chen Yu explained, "These spirit stones are needed to set up the spirit gathering array."

Luoluo walked up to Zixia and whispered, "Fairy, this Mr. Chen doesn't look reliable. Can you believe what he says?"

Zixia smiled and said, "Why not give it a try? I'm free anyway."

Chen Yu directed everyone and began to set up the spirit gathering array according to the steps in the secret book.

He asked Lin Qingxue to put the spirit stones in the east, Liu Ruyan to put them in the west, and then asked the seven fairies to put them in the south and north. He was very busy.

"Chen Yu, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Liu Ruyan complained as she placed the spirit stones. "The steps in this secret manual are too complicated. I'm almost dizzy."

"Don't worry, you can trust me to do the job." Chen Yu patted his chest and assured, "I have studied this secret book, and I will definitely not make any mistakes."

After some effort, the Spirit Gathering Array was finally set up. Chen Yu stood in the center of the array, took a deep breath, and felt that the spiritual energy around him was indeed much richer than before.

"Okay, everyone can start practicing now," Chen Yu said. "Remember, you must practice according to the methods in the secret manual to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

The women sat cross-legged and began to practice according to the methods in the secret book.

Chen Yu sat aside, observing their training while flipping through the "Harem Management Manual".

When Lin Qingxue was practicing, a faint chill emanated from her body, and the temperature around her dropped by several degrees.

When Liu Ruyan was practicing, a heat emanated from her body and the air around her became hot.

When Zixia was practicing, a purple light emanated from her body, making her look ethereal.

When the seven fairies were practicing, they emitted light of various colors, illuminating the entire yard with a riot of color.

Chen Yu watched them practice, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He felt like a teacher teaching his students.

"Ding! It is detected that Lin Qingxue's favorability towards the host has increased by 10 points. The current favorability is: 60, which has improved."

"Ding! Detected that Liu Ruyan's favorability towards the host has increased by 5 points. The current favorability is: 35, slightly relaxed."

"Ding! It is detected that Zixia's favorability towards the host has increased by 5 points. The current favorability is: 75, which is quite favorable."

Hearing the system's notification tone, Chen Yu was secretly delighted. It seemed that his method was working, and the girls' favorability was increasing.

At this time, an old man in a green Taoist robe walked in. He had white hair and a youthful face, and looked like an immortal. He held a whisk in his hand and looked like a Taoist master.

Chen Yu looked at the old man, puzzled. Who was this old man? Why did he suddenly appear here?

The old man walked up to Chen Yu and smiled slightly: "My dear friend, I am traveling here and feel that the spiritual energy here is fluctuating abnormally, so I came to check it out."

Chen Yu quickly stood up and saluted: "Junior Chen Yu, greetings to the senior."

"So it's Master Chen." The old man stroked his beard and said, "I am the island master of Penglai Fairy Island, and my Taoist name is Qingxuzi."

Chen Yu was shocked when he heard this. Penglai Island was a renowned island in the world of cultivation, and Qingxuzi was a highly respected elder in the world of cultivation.

"I have long heard of the great name of Senior Qingxuzi." Chen Yu said respectfully.

Qingxuzi looked at the women who were practicing in the yard, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Chen, are these girls all yours...?" asked Qingxuzi.

Chen Yu scratched his head and chuckled: "They are all friends of the younger generation."

Qingxuzi nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, I see that you have extraordinary talent and a strong aptitude. You are a good candidate for cultivating immortality."

Chen Yu was secretly delighted when he heard this. It seemed that Qingxuzi had taken a liking to him and might even want to take him in as his disciple.

"Thank you for the compliment, senior." Chen Yu said modestly.

Qingxuzi continued, "Mr. Chen, I see that there are some issues with the cultivation methods of your friends. Why don't you let me give them some pointers?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu thought to himself: "That's exactly what I want!" This Qingxuzi is a big shot in the world of cultivation. With his guidance, the women's cultivation speed will surely advance by leaps and bounds.

"Thank you very much, senior." Chen Yu said quickly.

Qingxuzi walked up to the girls and began to instruct them on their cultivation.

He was busy correcting Lin Qingxue's posture, adjusting Liu Ruyan's breathing, and explaining Zixia's skills.

The girls all felt they benefited a lot from Qingxuzi's guidance.

Chen Yu looked at Qingxuzi, his heart filled with gratitude. He thought to himself, this Qingxuzi is really a good person. Not only did he guide the women in their cultivation, but he also helped him solve the problem of harem management.
