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

The next day.

Just finished lunch at noon.

Lin Xuelan, the matchmaker from the Yin Yuan Pavilion, led a group of people to the door.

Zhong Yan glanced at the three girls and couldn't help but feel speechless. They were all ordinary mortals.

"Lin Fellow Daoist, it's really easy for me to earn spirit stones!" Zhong Yan said.

"Tell me honestly, how many people are ahead of me?" he asked.

Lin Xuelan's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered and said, "Oh, Zhong Fellow Daoist, rest assured. I promised to save a spot for you. There are only five or six people ahead of you who are anxious to find a partner..."

Zhong Yan interrupted, "I can offer more spirit stones, double or triple the amount, it's negotiable! My own aptitude is not good, I've been preparing for many years, and I came down the mountain to find a spiritual root woman to continue my family!"

"Alright! Since it has come to this, I will definitely take it seriously. First, let Zhong Fellow Daoist take a look at these three. They are the most outstanding among ordinary women in terms of appearance and figure. They were specially selected for Zhong Fellow Daoist!" Lin Xuelan said.

As she spoke, she pointed to the three girls and said, "They are all martial artists, especially the one on the left, she is at the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Acquired Realm!"

Zhong Yan was surprised. At such a young age, she was about to enter the Innate Realm. Her martial talent was definitely much better than Yan Sandao's.

Moreover, she was already at the peak of the Acquired Realm. If they were to fight, he might not even be able to beat her.

Yan Sandao on the side widened her eyes and bit her lip, feeling a bit dissatisfied. With such a powerful martial artist here, she was afraid that her position in her husband's heart would decrease significantly in the future.

"How old are they?" Zhong Yan asked.

Lin Xuelan smiled and said, "They are a few years older than other girls, but they are also in their prime for martial arts training. It won't be a problem for them to break through to the Innate Realm within a year or two!"

The beautiful girl bowed and saluted, her red lips slightly opened as she said, "I am Tang Xiaoshu, I have seen Master! I am nineteen years old this year, proficient in body movement techniques, skilled in hidden weapons, and also have some knowledge of military formations..."

Lin Xuelan stepped forward two steps and smiled, "What do you think, Zhong Fellow Daoist? This is carefully cultivated by our Yin Yuan Pavilion. Originally, we planned to send her to the City Lord's Mansion in Blackwater City. Considering that we haven't found a spiritual root woman for Fellow Daoist, we brought her here."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhong Yan said, "Then I'll keep her! How much is the price?"

"I'll give Fellow Daoist a discount, ten spirit stones."

Zhong Yan twitched his mouth. It was five more than Yan Sandao, but since she would become an Innate martial artist in the future, this price was indeed not too expensive.

He handed over the spirit stones and said, "Next time, I hope to see women with spiritual roots. There's no need to look for ordinary roots for now. I'll let you know if I need them."

At first, he was planning to marry many women.

Since Jiang Ping triggered the panel change after giving birth to their son, he decided to observe for a few more years.

If there were any changes in the subsequent children's growth that would trigger the system, he would make plans accordingly. For now, he needed to control the number of wives and children a little. It would be quite laborious to manage if there were too many.

After Lin Xuelan left.

After a little thought, Zhong Yan decided to hold a simple wedding banquet to show recognition and importance to Tang Xiaoshu.

This caused envy in the hearts of the four concubines, who didn't have a banquet. They congratulated him with a respectful manner.

Jiang Ping stepped forward, looked at Tang Xiaoshu up and down, and smiled, "This matter will be entrusted to Sandao and Dongcao."

Sandao (Dongcao): "Yes, Big Sister!"

Concubine Dongcao was in charge of the financial affairs of the Zhong Mansion. Currently, there were three secular industries in the mansion, all of which were supervised and audited by her.

That night.

Zhong Yan transformed into a hero once again, triumphantly returning from the battlefield covered in blood.

However.

Three days later.

He went to the cultivation room, and his smile instantly disappeared, becoming unpredictable.

In the past few days, he had been intimate with Tang Xiaoshu six times.

Apart from the fixed bonus given by the system for the first time, the remaining five times had no effect on his comprehension of martial arts or cultivation experience. Only the experience in talisman dao increased, and it had always been '1', without any fluctuations.

Zhong Yan was shocked at the time. He thought there was a problem with the system panel. However, after testing with Yan Sandao and Xiahe separately, everything was normal as usual.

So.

The problem could only lie with Tang Xiaoshu.

As for what the problem was?

At first, Zhong Yan thought that she didn't feel a sense of belonging to him.

After all, she was a martial arts genius with a boundless future. It was normal for her to not pay much attention to a Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivator.

But after a few days, Tang Xiaoshu was unusually obedient and tried her best to please him in bed.

It is as if my husband is the heavens, and I am only able to follow his lead.

After some contemplation, Zhong Yan came to a conclusion - this damn person must be an undercover spy sent by someone else!

Only this possibility could explain why Tang Xiaoshu appears submissive on the surface but lacks any intention of submission deep down.

"Damn it!"

"Why would the Marriage Fate Pavilion target me?"

Zhong Yan never doubted the existence of a large organization behind the Marriage Fate Pavilion.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find the purpose or reason for them to target him.

Every interaction he had with Lin Xuelan, whether it was a facial expression or a sentence, he was very cautious.

"I shouldn't have revealed anything special in front of her..."

If we're talking about the number of wives, Li Henian has more than him, and there are several cultivators in the city who have more than ten wives and concubines.

"It's possible that the Marriage Fate Pavilion has planted undercover agents targeting all cultivators looking for Dao companions, but they just haven't been discovered."

If it weren't for the system, Zhong Yan wouldn't have been able to see any problems with Tang Xiaoshu in such a short time.

"What are they planning..."

Suddenly, Zhong Yan's eyebrows raised.

He thought of a possibility!

Someone else used the Marriage Fate Pavilion or Lin Xuelan's hand to send an undercover agent.

With this in mind, Zhong Yan pinched his chin and immediately suspected the City Lord's Mansion's Qin Ben.

He had recently had abnormal contact with him.

Moreover, Qin Ben had the conditions to establish a connection between the City Lord and the Marriage Fate Pavilion within his jurisdiction.

And there was a motive.

This guy had great ambitions.

Now that he had become a follower of the Law Master, it was normal to plant a spy for deeper understanding and supervision.

After understanding this, Zhong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes flickering with a hint of a smile.

"If it really is him, that's good..."

At this moment, urgent shouts came from outside.

"Husband!"

"Something bad has happened!"

Zhong Yan quickly turned his head and opened the stone door.

His concubine Xia He rushed over, "Husband! San Dao sister has severely injured the young master of the Xue Mansion! He might even be dead!"

Zhong Yan frowned, "Which Xue Mansion?"

"I'm not sure either. It was Li Mansion's second young master who came to report the news. It's outside! They said it happened at our Yue Lai Restaurant. Xiaoshu has already rushed over!"

Zhong Yan quickly stepped out of the cultivation room.

There were cultivators surnamed Xue in the city, with a cultivation level of Qi Refining Sixth Layer. If they killed his son, it would be troublesome.

"Nephew, greet your uncle!"

Li Henian's second son, Li Shangwen, greeted him and directly explained the situation.

"Uncle, when I passed by Yue Lai Restaurant, I saw Second Aunt break Xue Peng's wrist and kick him, possibly kicking him to death. He fainted on the spot!"

After a pause, he added, "Oh, Uncle, you probably don't know him. Xue Peng is the son of Xue Shanhua, and you should have heard of the Tiger Mighty Hall."

Zhong Yan understood. Tiger Mighty Hall was the largest and most famous martial arts hall in Qingyang City. The owner, Xue Shanhua, was a martial artist with a higher realm than the City Lord Qin Ben. He had reached the Innate Eighth Layer and was considered one of the top families in the city.

"Do you know the reason?"

"It seems that Xue Peng was harassing Aunt Dongcao. As soon as I asked the onlookers, they immediately came to inform you."
