Chapter 28: Youth Restoring Facial Cleanser, a Cultivator’s Favorite

Li Yidan had won her battle. According to the rules, she naturally earned the right to use the facial cleanser once.

With a grand wave of Tong Shishi’s hand, a basin of facial cleanser flew onto the battle platform. At that moment, everyone’s gaze fell upon this basin of facial cleanser, intensely curious about this item that could permanently enhance one’s appearance.

Even the ever-composed Li Yidan was somewhat moved, looking at the large basin of facial cleanser before her.

This facial cleanser was a basinful that Tong Shishi had scooped out from the cleanser Su Xiaoyu provided.

Looking at Li Yidan, Tong Shishi instructed: “This is the Youth Restoring Facial Cleanser. Yidan, take a fingertip-sized amount of cleanser, add a little water, and rub it into a foam. Then apply it to your dampened face, rub for twenty breaths, and then rinse thoroughly.”

Li Yidan: “Yes, Sect Master.”

She took a deep breath, stepped forward as instructed, and took a tiny bit of the facial cleanser. She then cast a Water Ball Spell to wet the cleanser and also wet her own face, proceeding to wash her face right there on the spot.

She was eager to see the facial cleanser’s effects.

After rubbing her face for about twenty breaths, Li Yidan used the Water Ball Spell again to rinse her face, revealing her appearance anew.

Li Yidan was originally a woman with soft, elegant eyebrows and large eyes. Now, after using the facial cleanser, her face seemed to radiate new vitality, becoming more delicate and tender, fair with a rosy flush, as flawless as porcelain with no imperfections visible.

Her beauty had undergone a change visible to the naked eye.

This change also made the women present’s eyes burn with fervor; they wished they could immediately step forward and use the Youth Restoring Facial Cleanser themselves.

…

“The change is really quite obvious.”

Su Xiaoyu observed through her magnifying glass.

She hadn’t examined Tong Shishi’s change carefully before, wasn’t sure about the facial cleanser’s effects within the diorama box. But this time, on Li Yidan, she saw it crystal clear, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

After Li Yidan used the Youth-Restoring Facial Cleanser and demonstrated its excellent effects, in the subsequent matches, the disciples of the Qixi Festival Sect all fought with exceptional valor.

Some won, some lost.

But even the losers were not dejected; after all, in the Losers Group, they still had a chance to make a comeback.

All winners successfully got to use the Youth Restoring Facial Cleanser once on the spot. And no matter who used the cleanser, their appearance was visibly beautified at a noticeable speed. This further stimulated those who had not yet achieved victory.

The vast Qixi Festival Sect was a scene of bustling excitement.

The Qixi Festival Sect had a total of fifty-two people. Excluding Tong Shishi, the Sect Master, there were fifty-one participants in the competition.

With one person receiving a bye, the remaining fifty completed twenty-five matches in no time. Thus, the Winners Group had twenty-six people (the one with the bye counted as a win).

The Losers Group had twenty-five people.

Next, the Winners Group would first have a round of matches, determining thirteen winners and thirteen losers. After that came the Losers Group battles. The Losers Group would have one person with a bye, and the bye also counted as a successful revival.

Each person had three revival chances.

If all revival chances were used up, then they were truly eliminated.

Su Xiaoyu just sat by the diorama box, slowly watching. She watched for an entire day.

The various exquisite spells of the Cultivation World, along with all sorts of Elixir Pills, Magical Artifacts, Talismans, Puppets, Spirit Beasts, and other things, presented a wonderful spectacle before her eyes. It was a different side from the usual cultivation daily life, broadening her horizons somewhat.

“The increase in Faith Value isn’t bad.”

Su Xiaoyu glanced at her Faith Value.

Every time a battle ended and someone used the facial cleanser, her Faith Value would jump upward a bit. Each time it was a double-digit increase. In just one day, her Faith Value had risen by several hundred points.

By nightfall, her Faith Value had reached 856 points.

And at this time, the Qixi Festival Sect Grand Competition finally reached its final stage.

Without any suspense, the one who ultimately won the Sect Grand Competition championship was the Qi Refining Tenth Layer cultivator, Li Yidan!

…

Another victory won.

Li Yidan didn’t even know how many victories she had achieved. In short, she had used the Youth Restoring Facial Cleanser many times. Although the beautifying effect from subsequent uses wasn’t as dramatic as the first time, it still filled her with joy.

Though her previous appearance wasn’t bad, she couldn’t have been called a great beauty. But now, her face could be considered utterly captivating.

This was the effect of the Youth Restoring Facial Cleanser!

Under the envious and admiring gazes of everyone, Li Yidan took a deep breath and completed her last use of the cleanser for the day.

After washing this time, almost no change occurred on her face. But even so, thinking that this was her last use of the cleanser still made Li Yidan somewhat reluctant. Even if it couldn’t beautify her anymore, she still wished she could use the cleanser now and then. That feeling of cleaning her face felt so comfortable, much more so than using a spell to clean it.

Tong Shishi stood on the high platform, her voice ringing out at this moment: “The winner of this Sect Grand Competition has emerged. The victor is Li Yidan! Let us congratulate Li Yidan. Next, the Heavenly Maiden will select the participants with outstanding performance to be rewarded with Immortal Rice.”

After speaking, Tong Shishi glanced towards the sky.

The others also subconsciously glanced at the sky.

“The bestowal of the Immortal Rice shall be decided by you, Tong Shishi.”

Su Xiaoyu’s voice soon came down.

Hearing the voice, Tong Shishi quickly said: “I will certainly arrange it well.”

Her heart was filled with joy. The Heavenly Maiden was actually letting her arrange the bestowal of the Immortal Rice! This was clearly a sign of trust! Thinking this, Tong Shishi felt her whole body becoming light as a feather.

…

After speaking that one line into the diorama box, Su Xiaoyu turned and wheeled her chair away.

She opened her laptop, exported all the scenes captured by the cameras today, and then began editing.

This was a quite time-consuming process. After all, each camera contained content spanning a long duration, and there were many such cameras. Organizing it all was not easy.

As she organized, the night grew deep before she knew it.

Su Xiaoyu glanced outside at the city shrouded in deep twilight, then continued her work.

Last time she edited a video, she had worked until midnight before going to cultivate. But cultivating from the latter half of the night until morning still left her feeling refreshed and clear-headed. It was evident that even a short period of cultivation was enough to rejuvenate her spirit. So, it didn’t matter if she stayed up a little late.

The night wind rustled and buffeted the windows, sounding especially distinct.

Under the lamplight was Su Xiaoyu’s face—looking delicate, yet also earnest.
