"Fellow junior brothers, if you have any doubts about cultivation, your senior brother will answer them one by one today. As for preaching and teaching, your senior brother's talent is shallow, so I won't bring it out to make a fool of myself."

Lu Changsheng spoke. He had prepared a lesson for a day, and originally planned to bring out the Huangting Jing again, but after thinking about it, he felt it was meaningless.

It's not that the Huangting Jing is not good, but preaching and teaching to these disciples, some understand and some don't, so the meaning of preaching and teaching is lost.

It's better to let the disciples ask questions themselves, and he can answer them one by one, which is also good.

"Senior Brother! This disciple has a question! I hope Senior Brother can answer it!"

A disciple immediately stood up.

Seizing the opportunity, it attracted envy from many disciples.

"Speak."

Lu Changsheng spoke, appearing extremely extraordinary.

"Junior Brother has recently been practicing the Great Flame Fire Dragon, and found that its power is not strong, and it cannot exert three or four percent of its power. I hope Senior Brother can give guidance."

The other party said this.

Great Flame Fire Dragon?

What kind of Taoism is that?

Doesn't it sound silly?

Does adding a dragon make it stronger?

Lu Changsheng didn't know at all.

This touched his blind spot of knowledge.

No, Lu Changsheng thought slightly in his heart, when he first came to the Great Luo Holy Land, he seemed to have seen an explanation about Taoism.

He forgot whether that Jade Scroll was called Five Thousand Years of Taoism or The Origin of Taoism.

But he understood a little, and Lu Changsheng slowly replied.

"Everyone has their own method. The power is weak, perhaps because of physical problems. Some people are suitable for fire-based Taoism, while others are not. You can try another Taoism."

The other party asked this question, and Lu Changsheng could only answer normally.

After the latter learned about it, he nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. This disciple understands."

Fortunately, the other party gladly accepted this answer, so he wouldn't pester him with one question.

"The following questions, don't ask about Taoism. There are 360,000 ancient books in the Ten Thousand Books Pavilion. Read more and read more. The method of solving doubts is inside."

Lu Changsheng looked at the other eager disciples, and immediately spoke, preventing these people from asking various questions.

If they were all asking about Taoism, his head would explode.

"Senior Brother, this disciple boldly asks, what is cultivation?"

Since they were not allowed to ask about Taoism, many disciples lost interest, but there were still disciples who stood up and asked.

What is cultivation?

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Cultivation is not about fighting and killing; cultivation is about understanding the ways of the world. We who cultivate should not be blinded by fleeting things. Whether it is fame or fortune, whether it is the Dao or the Law, we must take them lightly, let go of some attachments, and experience the myriad aspects of the mortal world to better stabilize our Dao heart."

"If a cultivator values fame and fortune, what kind of cultivator is that? They are merely stronger mortals."

Lu Changsheng answered.

"But the ancients said that we cultivators are born into this world to strive for an ethereal Great Dao. I implore Senior Brother to explain."

The disciple continued.

Lu Changsheng replied without hesitation.

"The ancients were not wrong, but you only see the surface and not the essence."

"Strive against the heavens for a glimmer of life! Strive against others for self-confidence! Not to be combative, but to strive to overcome oneself. If you make others your goal, where is the end?"

"Outer sect disciples envy inner sect disciples, inner sect disciples envy core disciples, core disciples envy True Disciples, True Disciples envy Holy Sons, Holy Sons envy Holy Lords, and Holy Lords envy even stronger Holy Lords. If it goes on like this, it will be endless. Do you understand?"

Lu Changsheng said.

"This disciple understands."

The disciples nodded, some thoughtful, some enlightened, and some enraptured.

In reality, Lu Changsheng himself didn't know what he was talking about. Anyway, these people liked to hear grand principles, so he just told them what they wanted to hear.

However, this time, the lecture and sermon didn't produce any phenomena.

This made Lu Changsheng a little curious.

Could it be that he had become immune?

Or was it still brewing?

He shook off his wild thoughts.

Lu Changsheng continued to answer questions.

Ten thousand disciples had ten thousand questions, and Lu Changsheng naturally couldn't answer all of them.

He only selected some disciples who were pleasing to the eye to answer.

Of course, "pleasing to the eye" meant high appearance.

There was no helping it; this was, after all, a cultivation world where appearance was paramount.

Lu Changsheng had once been curious.

Why was the Xianxia world he transmigrated into so different from the novels he had read?

Wasn't it supposed to be a world where the strong were respected?

Why had the style changed to one where appearance was paramount?

Lu Changsheng even thought that if his story were written into a novel, the synopsis would be something like this.

This is a world where appearance reigns supreme, without the cliché of rejected engagements and face-slapping; there is only the ultimate evolution of Appearance Techniques.

Appearance Practitioner, Appearance Master, Great Appearance Master, Appearance Spirit, Appearance King, Appearance Emperor, Appearance Ancestor, Appearance Venerable, Appearance Saint, Appearance Deity.

And Lu Changsheng, a young man who transmigrated, is the strongest Appearance Deity.

The story begins here.

Dismissing the strange and bizarre thoughts,

Lu Changsheng began to answer the questions one by one.

It continued until almost dark.

Lu Changsheng slowly spoke.

"In one hour, the Dao discussion will end."

From day to night, a full eight hours, Lu Changsheng did not even drink a mouthful of water in those eight hours.

It couldn't be said that he was tired, just a little weary.

Mainly because the questions these disciples asked were mostly about how to cultivate, how to improve their strength, and how to become stronger.

Didn't anyone ask how to improve their appearance?

No wonder they've been stuck as outer disciples for so many years; there's definitely a reason.

Just then,

A disciple stood up, a True Disciple, looking at Lu Changsheng.

This person was extraordinary, surrounded by purple lightning, creating a terrifying aura just by standing there.

The only flaw was that he looked very ordinary; if not for the purple lightning effect, he would just be another face in the crowd.

"Eldest Senior Brother, this junior has a question to ask."

"Speak."

"Senior Brother, we cultivators fight with the heavens, fight with the earth, fight with people, and sacrifice too much for the path of immortality, but throughout history, only a few have become immortals. This junior is untalented, spending a hundred years to reach the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, but stagnating for over two hundred years, still at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul. In this way, it seems glorious, but in the end, it is difficult to become an immortal."

"This junior is untalented, but barely became a True Disciple, and already knows that the path to immortality is broken. But what about these core junior brothers, inner disciples, outer disciples, and even those countless ordinary people?"

"The sage said, 'The Great Dao is fifty, and one escapes.' Please, Senior Brother, tell us, where is this glimmer of hope!"

The disciple knelt on the ground, sincerely asking.

At that moment, all the disciples felt it. They all knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Changsheng, asking this question.

The meaning was simple.

I am a Great Luo True Disciple, and I have only cultivated for a hundred years to reach the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, but as my realm gets higher and higher, it is gradually becoming impossible. I haven't broken through to the late stage in two hundred years.

I am still a Great Luo True Disciple, and it is already impossible for me to become an immortal.

So what about these people?

The path to immortality is so difficult.

What should we do!

This question was very well asked.

Lu Changsheng did not answer immediately, but thought about it carefully.

After a while.

Lu Changsheng spoke.

"As heaven maintains vigor,"

The three words had just appeared.

At this moment.

The stars shone brightly!

It was as if an anomaly that had been brewing for a long time had appeared.
