Longevity: Starting From Getting Down The Mountain And Marrying A Wife

"Yang Fellow Daoist, take care!"

"Zhong Fellow Daoist, please stay!"

In front of the gate of the Zhong residence, the two bowed to each other.

After the person left, Zhong Yan turned and returned to his study.

Bai Siyuan was in a good mood, lightly tapping the table with his fingers. He looked up and smiled, saying, "Brother, your self-control is beyond ordinary!"

Zhong Yan was taken aback and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

Bai Siyuan shook his head and sighed, "When I first went to the Feixian Pavilion, I couldn't help but go again within three days. I even borrowed spirit stones to go. It's embarrassing to say."

Zhong Yan felt embarrassed and smiled bitterly, saying, "Brother, you don't know. In the past half month, I have been thinking day and night. Even my beautiful wives and concubines at home don't please me anymore. I have no interest in cultivating or making talismans!"

Bai Siyuan burst into laughter, but then stopped and asked with a serious expression, his eyes flickering, "How did Yang Yanqing manage to sell the techniques so quickly? What are your thoughts, brother?"

Just now, Yang Yanqing divided the profits from selling the "Solidifying Sword Technique" and two Law Weapons.

A total of 38,925 low-grade spirit stones, including 200 medium-grade ones.

More than 900 were the money from the two Law Weapons, and the rest was from the techniques.

For most Qi Refining and Foundation Building cultivators, this was an enormous fortune!

Zhong Yan thought for a moment and said, "It should be sold to the Baiye Zhou family. The Zhou family was able to produce so many spirit stones at once, indicating their deep background!"

Bai Siyuan nodded and said, "After all, they are a Foundation Building family. The Zhou family is one of the top five cultivation families in Yan Kingdom."

Zhong Yan pursed his lips and continued, "As for the price, it was somewhat unexpected. Originally, I hoped that each person could get several thousand, and besides, the 'Solidifying Sword Technique' I practiced is not very powerful."

It was unexpected.

But 'several thousand' was just the initial idea.

After seeing the information recorded in the system panel, Zhong Yan no longer thought so.

A spell more powerful than the 'Fire Cloud Palm' was worth more than just less than 40,000 spirit stones.

Either the Zhou family pressured Yang Yanqing and he couldn't argue, or Yang Yanqing was greedy himself.

Zhong Yan thought it should be the former. Even if he was greedy, Yang Yanqing wouldn't dare to take too much.

As for Yang Yanqing working with the Zhou family, it was unlikely.

The price of a spell was not a small amount of money. Even though Yang Yanqing had a third of it himself, no matter how good his relationship with the Zhou family was and how much he needed their support, the resources he obtained were the most practical. In the future, when the Yang family established their clan, it would still rely on him. Naturally, the higher the price he sold for, the better.

Bai Siyuan nodded, half-smiling, and said, "To be able to sell at this price, it seems that the 'Solidifying Sword Technique' is not too bad. Yang Yanqing must have gained a lot, but he deserves it. Who asked us not to have that connection! As for the remaining money from the four Law Weapons, I'm afraid we'll have to wait another year or so."

Zhong Yan nodded, picked up the teacup, and gestured, "Brother, have some tea! With such a large income, what are your plans?"

Bai Siyuan winked and said, "Naturally, I have to go to the Feixian Pavilion first! Haha~"

After a pause, he continued, "I didn't expect the techniques to sell so quickly. Now that I have obtained the position of an attendant mage, I won't be able to seclude myself for a long time. But it will take at least three to five months for the report to be reviewed and the decree to come down. When I come back from the market, I will seclude myself first. With these spirit stones, I have the confidence to break through to the eighth or even ninth level!"

"Of course, I wish you success in your endeavors, brother!"

Bai Siyuan's aptitude was not too bad. Although he also had four elemental spiritual roots like Zhong Yan, he started practicing at the age of eighteen and now, in his forties, he had reached the late stage of Qi Refining.

The two chatted about the matters of being an attendant mage and agreed on a time to go to the market together.

Before leaving, Bai Siyuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, has Yu Qingyao come to look for you?"

"Yu Qingyao?"

Zhong Yan was taken aback and asked, "Why would she look for me?"

He and Yu Qingyao had an average relationship, just acquaintances.

Bai Siyuan blinked and smiled, "During the mid-year trading fair, she privately asked me about you. Brother, with your handsome appearance and now becoming a high-grade talisman master, she's probably interested!"

"But she hasn't come."

After seeing off Bai Siyuan, Zhong Yan began to ponder.

Three months have passed since the mid-year trading fair, and even if Yu Qingyao had any thoughts, she probably gave up after careful consideration.

In Qingyang City, there are sixteen resident female cultivators, either having Dao companions or having ambiguous relationships with male cultivators, whether openly or secretly.

Yu Qingyao is the only one who is alone, a widow who lost her previous Dao companion.

Whether she is a widow or not, Zhong Yan doesn't care as long as they can cultivate together and gain experience.

Since the other party hasn't shown any positive signals, they must still look down on her lower cultivation level.

She herself is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, so naturally she would look for a Dao companion with a similar cultivation level.

"I'll try to test the waters another day..."

One of the main reasons why Zhong Yan holds the position of a mage is to consider finding female cultivators.

With this additional identity, it will be more convenient to approach female cultivators who come to the city in the future.

At this moment, a concubine named Dongcao approached and said, "Husband, have you encountered something good? You seem so happy!"

"Yes, something good has happened!"

Zhong Yan smiled and hugged her as they walked inside.

When they reached the door of the room, he stopped.

"Go and call Chunyu."

Dongcao thought her husband wanted to punish Chunyu again, hesitated to speak, and finally smiled, "Yes, husband."

During this period, Zhong Yan noticed that Chunyu was extremely cautious and attentive, always serving him diligently.

She was the last one to sit at the table and served him and the other sisters with food.

Even when he was with other concubines, she would proactively approach and serve by his side, watching the whole process obediently.

Before long, Chunyu hurriedly arrived and said, "I've seen husband!"

...Happy times are always short-lived.

Zhong Yan was already in a good mood, and after the battle, he felt even more refreshed.

Zhong Yan glanced at the panel and then at Chunyu.

Chunyu immediately knelt down weakly, her eyes red, and said, "Thank you for your mercy, husband! I know my mistake, and I will wholeheartedly serve you from now on..."

Dongcao stood up, glanced at her husband's face, and spoke up, "Husband, forgive me for being meddlesome. Just now, Chunyu compared herself unfavorably to me. All the sisters have noticed this. Chunyu sincerely repents. If it's not a major mistake, please forgive her, alright?"

"Alright, since Dongcao has pleaded for you, I won't hold it against you. Get up."

They were childhood friends who had been engaged since they were young.

It's natural to have some nostalgia, but it's not a big deal.

If Jiang Ping hadn't mentioned it, Zhong Yan wouldn't have known, and even if he did, he wouldn't have taken it to heart.

However, it's a good opportunity to give a slight reprimand.

"Thank you, husband! Thank you, sister Dongcao!"

Chunyu stood up and quickly went to pour tea.

Dongcao also smiled happily, thinking that her words were so effective, and she even helped with a shoulder massage.

"It's the husband's tolerance that brings good fortune to the sisters!"
