Helping each other with countless me

"So, it is necessary to enter the mortal world."

In the forest, Li Zhongren built a small hut for himself.

Because his original purpose was to become the Sword Saint of Shilipo.

After leaving Nanxi City that day, he went into the forest, intending to cultivate it in the mountains for decades or hundreds of years, and then talk about it.

However, in less than half a month, he found that he could not refine the power of the mortal world.

Yes, even if his talent reached the top of this world, he had reached the point where the power of the mortal world could be used directly.

However, about half a month later, when he practiced the "Golden Silkworm Skill" to the edge of great success, he found that he began to stagnate.

What does it mean?

That is, the power of the mortal world seems to have lost its effect on him.

No matter how much he absorbs, they cannot be transformed, just like the nitrogen in the air, it is absorbed into the body by the lungs along with the oxygen, and then spit out again intact and differently, that kind of feeling.

Fortunately, he sent those corpses to Li Harry. Although those corpses had lost their extraordinary properties after compression, their memories were still preserved.

From the memories of those two people, he knew the reason.

Why did the immortals enter the mortal world?

Why did the ancestors want to refine their hearts in the mortal world?

On the one hand, it was to train their own souls and lay a good foundation for impacting a higher realm.

But more importantly, when a person leaves the mortal world for a period of time.

He will also be abandoned by the mortal world.

If you want to regain the ability to use the power of the mortal world, you have to enter the mortal world again.

Moreover, it is not just about going back, but also about creating cause and effect.

The greater the cause and effect, the longer the time interval between the two refinements of the mortal world.

On the contrary, the lower it is.

So, at least in this world, you do not exist as the Sword Saint of Shilipo. Without cause and effect, you cannot practice at all.

Damn, if I had known this, I would not have faked my death.

After a moment, Li Zhongren sighed.

The figure flashed and disappeared between the mountains and forests.——

Darong Dynasty

Shangjing

This is the most prosperous city in the Darong Dynasty.

Li Zhongren is walking in this city at this moment.

In terms of architectural style, this place is similar to Chang'an.

But in terms of the prosperity of the night, it is more like Tokyo Bianliang.

The walls of the town have been demolished, and people are allowed to go out to do business at night. It can be said that there is a rich nightlife.

However, the most famous attraction in the whole Shangjing is still the Qinhuai River.

It runs across the whole Shangjing.

On the one hand, it is the most important source of water in Shangjing City.

In addition, the flower boats on the river are famous all over the world.

How many stories of talented men and beautiful women happened here.

Li Zhongren has never seen this thing in his past and present lives.

So, at this moment, he is wandering by the Qinhuai River, looking at the flower boats slowly flowing in the river, his eyes are also full of curiosity.

However, it is just pure curiosity.

He is not very interested in being a fellow traveler with other people.

To him, this is more like a tourist attraction.

Just like those who travel to Thailand specifically watch the performances of transvestite, but not many people really want to sleep with transvestite.

He is the same.

At this moment, his mind is full of poems and lyrics about those attractions in his previous life.

What kind of merchant woman does not know the hatred of the country's destruction, and still sings the back garden flower across the river.

What kind of big and small pearls fall on a jade plate

Of course, he will not bring these things out.

He has no opinion on the time-traveling plagiarist, but before it comes to that step, he is not willing to do such things, after all, it is not your thing.

"Brother, do you want to have fun on the flower boat?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded not far from Li Zhongren. He looked over and saw a man, dressed simply, hunched over, and he was used to being a servant. He has seen many such people over the years.

"Whose family are you from?"

Li Zhongren asked.

"Tingyu Xiaolou."

The man pointed to his waist card.

"One of the three famous buildings in Shangjing, I wonder if you are interested?"

The man pointed to the small boat behind him. If you want to get on the flower boat, you have to take this small boat, approach the big ship in the river, and then step on the human elevator to get on the big ship. The whole process is smooth and it is obvious that there is a rich industrial chain.

"Do you have any famous girls?"

"Our Tingyu Xiaolou has twelve floors, and there are twelve courtesans. The courtesans on the lower six floors stay overnight, and the courtesans on the upper six floors perform. Of course, if you are talented and the courtesans are willing, you can stay overnight."

"Besides, today is the monthly courtesan competition."

"What do you mean?"

"It's the ranking."

"Oh."

When the man said this, Li Zhongren understood.

If you want to go to the sixth floor, you have to show enough ability to prove that you are more popular.

After all, these flower boats have spent a lot of money to train these courtesans. If you don't want to sell yourself, you can, but you have to show enough ability to prove it. If you can't prove it, then you should go to the lower level to sell yourself.

"Let's go."

Li Zhongren liked the four words "Tingyu Xiaolou" very much, so he chose it today. As for the other flower boats, he would have a chance to see them later.

After that, he took the boat to Tingyu Xiaolou under the guidance of this turtle man.

It must be said that because of the existence of supernatural forces in this world, in terms of high-end productivity, it is not much inferior to modern times. For example, this Tingyu Xiaolou, you will find it huge after approaching it. No wonder it needs a small boat to ferry people back and forth. If it goes to the river, it may even run aground.

The length of the ship is more than 100 meters, and there are twelve floors of attics above the water alone, with carved beams and jade pillars, flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, luxurious but not extravagant, exquisite but not decadent.

Instead, a faint atmosphere of sadness hits you.

Obviously, the decoration here is also specially designed.

On the deck, many people leaned against the side of the ship to watch the night, in groups of three or two, and some followed the girls to watch the moon.

Directly in front of you is the entrance.

Inside is the hall, which is also the place with the most people.

"This young man, welcome, welcome."

When he walked into the entrance, someone came to greet him. Li Zhongren looked at the structure inside. There was a huge wide platform in the middle, and independent seats around it. However, the closer you get to the front, the more luxurious the seats are. He understood that this thing is almost like a concert.

The tickets on the second floor are even cheaper.

"Where do you want to sit?"

"Just sit there."

Li Zhongren chose a seat closest to the wide platform.

"What's the price?"

"Sir, you have good eyesight. That's the No. 1 elegant seat. The price for one night is 500 taels of silver."

Silver is one of the legal currencies in this world.

Along with gold and copper coins.

Of course, the most valuable is the spirit stone.

However, in fact, these four things are valuable. They are not currency symbols, but really valuable.

Spirit stones can replenish energy.

And gold, silver, and copper coins, because they are circulated in the mortal world, they are covered with the power of the mortal world, and they are also indispensable materials for refining magic weapons.

Therefore, 500 taels of silver are not cheap. In terms of purchasing power, it is almost equal to less than one million Daxia coins.

This is still the most common silver. If it is the old silver that has been circulated for a long time, the value will only be higher. Of course, generally speaking, what ordinary people refer to is this kind of common silver.

"Da~"

Li Zhongren took out a spiritual stone from his arms and handed it to the woman.

Under the light, the spiritual stone glowed with an unusually exquisite light.

Let the woman look at it with her eyes wide open.

Because the value of this stone is not worth a thousand taels of silver.

"I will use it as collateral for my consumption. If it is not enough, come to me again."

"Yes, sir, please take a seat."

The woman was more respectful.

Because generally speaking, it's not that she has never seen so much money. As a madam in such a brothel, how much is the daily turnover? How could she lose her composure for a thousand taels of silver? But, generally speaking, few people use spiritual stones as currency. Generally speaking, only immortal cultivators do so.

Although immortal cultivators are restrained by the power of the mortal world, their status in the secular world has never been low. After all, if they are really forced into a corner, as long as they pay enough, immortal cultivators can still kill.

"Hmm~~Comfortable."

Sitting in the so-called elegant seat, it was a table and chair carved from some high-grade wood, covered with soft fur, and very ergonomic, especially the slightly reclining angle, you can see the whole stage clearly.

Of course, there are only some small-timers performing on the stage now, and the real PK has not started yet. After all, it will be lively only when the place is full.

Li Zhongren was not in a hurry, just waiting quietly.

"This brother, I am a little unfamiliar."

Li Zhongren looked over and saw a young man, dressed gorgeously and handsome, but his eyes were a little dark, and it was obvious that he was weak in both blood and qi, and he should be a little deficient.

"Well, this is my first time in Beijing."

Li Zhongren said.

"I have been practicing hard in the mountains before."

"Oh"

Hearing what Li Zhongren said, the young man understood immediately that the man in front of him was actually a cultivator.

"It's actually the immortal. I'm so lucky today. Come on, have a pot of wine with this immortal."

As he said that, the man looked at Li Zhongren again.

"I wonder if the immortal is a lone cultivator, or..."

"No sect, no school, a casual cultivator."

As he spoke, the servant had already brought a pot of wine to Li Zhongren. Whether it was a plate, a wine pot, or a wine glass, they were all fine products, and they were very consistent with the temperament of Tingyu Xiaolou, simple and noble.

"My cultivation path has reached the end for the time being, so I have to enter the mortal world."

"So that's it."

Hearing this, the man nodded. He actually guessed that generally speaking, there are two possibilities for cultivators to appear in the mortal world. The first is to refine the mortal world, and the second is to find things for cultivation.

"I am the third son of Prince Yong. I wonder if the immortal is interested in coming to my father's house as a guest?"

"Prince Yong?"

Hearing this, Li Zhongren raised his eyebrows.

"Let's talk about it later. I plan to have some fun first."

"Yes, yes, I am the one who disturbed the interest of the immortal. I will drink a glass of wine as punishment."

As he said this, the man raised his glass, drank, and then turned his attention to the stage again.

While he was talking, these not-so-famous brothel girls had already left, and in their place, there were twelve teams.

Of course, these were the twelve courtesans from the twelve floors.

They came to the stage surrounded by their servants and sat at the end of the wide stage.

According to the description of the old man, these people are like the stage PK in the future, twelve people take turns to perform their talents.

Finally, they are ranked according to the number of rewards they receive.

The configuration is quite complete.

This wide stage is surrounded by people on three sides, and one side leads to the backstage. There is even a band in the backstage, which is interesting.

After a while, the courtesan on the first floor came on stage and performed a solo performance of playing the piano.

She sang well and looked good.

However, her popularity was just average.

As we all know, the first person to appear is the most unlucky.

But there is no way, the order of appearance is from the first floor to the twelfth floor, and the biggest courtesan appears last.

Of course, there is also the fact that this courtesan has already started to sell her body.

Men are like this. What they can't get is always a commotion, and when they get it, they will feel boring again.

However, this has nothing to do with Li Zhongren. He is seriously appreciating these courtesans.

It can only be said that people will die if they compare themselves with others, and goods will be thrown away if they compare them with goods.

Compared with those doll-like shit things in later generations, the qualities of these workers in ancient times are all very impressive.

Temperament, face, figure, ability.

In later generations, even those stars can't compare.

After all, those stars, let alone piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, are also killed in bed.

So, there is a reason for being expensive.

Watching the courtesans come up and go down one by one, Li Zhongren couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This is because he has a sharing space behind him, otherwise, he would never be willing to spend so much money. After all, the small peasant mentality has been ingrained in his bones. His consumption concept is that a thing must be worth the money before he will buy it. He will never touch things with inflated prices, unless he has never touched it and just wants to experience what it is like.

Just like this flower boat...

"Shangxian, do you have someone you like?"

Next to him, Prince Yong's third son asked again.

"Yeah."

Li Zhongren nodded. This third son was quite interesting. There was no one around him and he was not arrogant to anyone. If he didn't say it, you wouldn't know that he was quite noble. Moreover, he gave tips to every courtesan, unlike himself, who was stingy except for the seat fee.

So, Li Zhongren didn't reject people at a distance. He liked people with this kind of personality, especially in such a hierarchical world, there were not many such interesting people.

"I like you very much."

"Pu cough cough cough, the immortal of the highest rank, you..."

"Ha, I mean your personality."

Li Zhongren also made a small joke, which scared the third son's chrysanthemum.

"The son of Prince Yong is not arrogant. People like you are rare, so I am willing to make friends with you."
