Numerous families sought alliances with Lu Changsheng, yet avenues for such connections were nonexistent.
With Lu Changsheng now extending an invitation himself, it felt like a windfall, a blessing from the heavens!
Consequently, Lu Changsheng's endeavor proceeded with remarkable smoothness.
Many families eagerly presented their treasured Immortal Techniques.
Lu Changsheng amassed a significant collection, acquiring a total of thirteen Immortal Techniques.
"Thirteen Immortal Techniques should suffice for now."
A look of contentment spread across Lu Changsheng's face.
He then returned to the serene confines of the Qi Family's quiet room.
Before him lay the thirteen volumes of Immortal Techniques.
Adding the Nine Heavens Earth Immortal Technique brought his total to fourteen distinct Immortal Techniques.
Such a vast array of Immortal Techniques would undoubtedly serve as ample reference material.
With that thought, Lu Changsheng commenced his study of these Immortal Techniques, delving into each one sequentially.
Upon concluding his review of all the acquired Immortal Techniques, Lu Changsheng released a prolonged exhalation.
"These Immortal Techniques bear a striking resemblance to one another. Their core principle involves utilizing various precious materials to forge a connection with the physical body, ceaselessly refining it until the body ultimately manifests an Immortal Attribute."
"However, this differs from the path of the Physical Immortal. Or rather, their fundamental objectives diverge."
"The Physical Immortal Path focuses on augmenting the physical body's strength and overall capabilities. In contrast, Immortal Techniques are geared towards inducing the birth of an Immortal Attribute within the physical body."
"The crucial element here is the emergence of this Immortal Attribute. Traditional Immortal Techniques, even with their reliance on abundant resources, might fail to yield an Immortal Attribute even after an entire era has passed."
"Yet, with a stroke of luck, the physical body might spontaneously develop an Immortal Attribute. Is the successful manifestation of this attribute then entirely dependent on fortune?"
A sense of doubt began to creep into Lu Changsheng's mind.
Could the attainment of Heavenly Immortal status truly hinge solely on luck?
Of course, to claim it was entirely about luck would be an oversimplification.
Compared to the resources provided by Immortal Techniques, luck might indeed play a seventy to eighty percent role.
This outcome was not what Lu Changsheng had anticipated.
"It shouldn't be this way... If Cultivation itself were a matter of mere luck, what would be the purpose of the pursuit?"
"Why is it that disciples from prominent Sects, the truly exceptional ones, possess a higher likelihood of ascending to Heavenly Immortal status?"
"There must be concealed factors at play, elements beyond mere capricious fortune."
Lu Changsheng's brow furrowed deeply.
Fourteen Immortal Techniques, all relying on luck?
Perhaps, these were merely common-grade Immortal Techniques.
If Superior Immortal Techniques existed, the probability of cultivating an Immortal Attribute within the physical body should naturally be higher.
Yet, Lu Changsheng had never encountered any Superior Immortal Techniques.
In his possession, he currently held only these ordinary Immortal Techniques.
For a typical True Immortal, this situation might present an insurmountable obstacle.
Even with a hundred and forty Immortal Techniques, the practitioner might ultimately find themselves compelled to follow the standard cultivation path, placing their faith in luck.
Hoping that one distant day, their physical body would spontaneously generate an Immortal Attribute.
However, Lu Changsheng was no ordinary True Immortal.
He was also a Red Dust Immortal,
And he possessed the ability to decompose!
A Red Dust Immortal identifies a problem, diligently seeks to understand its root cause, and ultimately devises a solution.
With this resolve, Lu Changsheng embarked on the process of decomposing the fourteen Immortal Techniques, one by one.
Decomposition was an inherently time-consuming endeavor.
Even for a Red Dust Immortal, the decomposition ability might offer limited assistance in such a complex scenario.
But Lu Changsheng was different.
He possessed an extraordinary level of comprehension.
Now, having achieved True Immortal status, his decomposition capabilities had experienced a significant surge.
If the situation demanded it, Lu Changsheng could even expend aptitude points to accelerate the deduction process.
This would further enhance his decomposition abilities.
However, such measures were not currently necessary.
Lu Changsheng found himself with an abundance of time at his disposal.
He could afford to decompose them gradually, taking his time.
There was no need for haste.
And so, time slipped by unnoticed.
Lu Changsheng dedicated himself entirely to the task of decomposing the Immortal Techniques.
His focus was absolute.
He remained utterly unaware of the passage of time.
For an Immortal, experiencing a temporal disconnect is a rather commonplace occurrence.
A single period of secluded cultivation could easily span hundreds or even thousands of years.
Yet, Lu Changsheng's situation was not quite that extreme.
Nevertheless, the task of decomposing fourteen Immortal Techniques still required considerable effort.
Furthermore, he needed to thoroughly understand the intricate connection between Immortal Techniques and the physical body, specifically exploring methods to induce the manifestation of the Immortal Attribute.
Investigating such profound questions through decomposition was not a feat that could be accomplished overnight.
In the blink of an eye, a decade had elapsed.
Indeed, a full ten years had passed.
Lu Changsheng had essentially entered a state of prolonged seclusion, dedicating the entirety of these ten years to the meticulous decomposition of the fourteen Immortal Techniques.
On this particular day, Lu Changsheng's eyes snapped open.
"Swoosh."
A sharp gleam flickered within his gaze.
"Ten years… after a decade, it's finally been successfully dissected..."
"It turns out that the so-called Immortal Attribute residing within the body originates from something else entirely."
"All these so-called Immortal Techniques passed down are fundamentally flawed..."
A profound sigh escaped Lu Changsheng's lips.
