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

Narcissus left the private room and hurriedly went to the garden in the Sanzhong Courtyard.

"Ruoyun, sister!"

"Don't daydream, hurry up and get ready, the guests are here!"

Ruoyun turned her head, blinked in surprise, and asked, "Looking for me? In the outer courtyard?"

Narcissus grabbed her wrist and said, "In the private room. I snatched the guest from Hongshuang with two pots of green plum wine. The first person I thought of was you. Luckily, the person is someone you know, and they quickly agreed."

"Brother Zhong?" Upon hearing that it was someone she knew, Ruoyun thought of Zhong Yan. Her eyes couldn't hide her excitement. Once there was a familiar customer, it would be easier to have a second and third time.

"Yes! Go get ready. When the bell rings, I'll take you over."

As she spoke, Narcissus added casually, "Don't say that sister doesn't take care of you next time!"

Ruoyun held her hand gratefully and said, "Thank you, Sister Narcissus. Since you've chosen me, I can't let sister lose two pots of wine for nothing. I'll pay for it, and afterwards, I'll give you a share."

"Alright, go!"

"Okay!"

Watching Ruoyun hurry away, Narcissus smiled and shook her head, sighing lightly. When she first arrived, she was just like this, not knowing how many businesses were snatched away and divided by others in secret, yet still foolishly helped count the money, feeling endlessly grateful.

However, she felt no guilt in her heart. This was the world of the brothel, where competition was fierce and ruthless, no less than the outside world.

If she wanted to gain her freedom as soon as possible, she could only do her best and use any means necessary.

"I'm helping you grow quickly."

Muttering to herself, Narcissus turned and walked in another direction.

Inside the private room,

Zhong Yan and Bai Siyuan looked at the handwriting on the table and raised their heads at the same time.

"Guo Qingxue, Xue Hongyi."

The former was Xue Shanhut's wife, and the latter was Xue Shanhut's adopted son.

With just these two names, one male and one female, it wasn't difficult to make associations.

Bai Siyuan blinked his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Could it be...? Xue Hongyi dares to have an affair with his stepmother? Isn't he afraid that Xue Shanhut will discover it and kill him? If it's true, as long as we spread the news and fan the flames, we don't need anyone else to take action. With Xue Shanhut's temperament, he would tear down the Xue family himself!"

"He dares to sell ten spiritual stones, so it's probably true. But we can make use of it."

Zhong Yan smiled and narrowed his eyes. "This girl Narcissus is not simple. Do you know her spiritual roots, Brother Bai?"

"I'm not sure. She should have the same four spiritual roots as us. But it's normal for her to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining at such a young age, considering how easily she earns spiritual stones in the brothel."

Bai Siyuan smiled and said, "This woman is quite interesting. If she weren't so expensive, I would definitely want to taste her."

Zhong Yan chuckled. "Brother Bai, do you still lack spiritual stones now?"

Bai Siyuan shook his head. "It's not cost-effective! Actually, the girls here are all the same. Spending a night with one of them is enough to afford several other girls. Whether their cultivation is higher or lower doesn't matter. Do you really expect to rely on a few times of dual cultivation to improve your cultivation?"

After taking a sip of wine, Bai Siyuan continued, "To be honest, if it weren't for Yang Yanqing treating us, I would only choose the first level of Qi Refining. It's good enough, and there are plenty of techniques. Today, I called Lan'er, and I feel a bit heartbroken. It's a luxury to indulge myself."

Zhong Yan nodded and raised his cup, indicating that he was different. Dual cultivation was truly beneficial.

He was somewhat tempted, wondering how much experience he could gain from dual cultivating with someone at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Or perhaps there would be changes in the system panel.

"What's the specific price for Narcissus?"

"You're really generous, my friend. At least 800. When she comes, you can ask her and negotiate the price. If the girls are willing, they can earn a little less for themselves."

Bai Siyuan raised his glass and drank a cup of spiritual wine, then continued to voluntarily explain the situation in the brothel that he knew.

Feixian Pavilion had an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard. The girls in the outer courtyard who entertained guests were mostly at the first and second levels of Qi Refining, with the majority being at the first level. Even if the girls only accompanied guests for meals and drinks, the prices would still vary.

The inner courtyard is roughly divided into three levels. The first to fifth levels are for girls below the Qi Refining stage, while the sixth to eighth levels are for girls in the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Each girl has her own way of attracting customers. It is rare for someone like Shuixian, who has a high cultivation level, to often wander outside the courtyard.

The ninth level is the last level, with only five or six people, all of whom have three spiritual roots. The prices for them are over a thousand pieces of spiritual stones. It is rumored that the first goal of these women when they enter the brothel is to earn spiritual stones to buy beauty-preserving pills.

Obviously, they want to do this job for a long time.

There are not many male cultivators in Yangquan Fangshi who are willing to spend a lot of money. The girls in the ninth level of the brothel are not in a hurry to redeem themselves. They usually only receive one or two clients a year and spend most of their time focusing on cultivation.

In another brothel in the market called Hongxiu Zhao, the level is lower. There are not many girls with cultivation levels, and their realms are lower. They mainly serve ordinary beautiful mortal women, catering to Independent Cultivators who are short of money...

Zhong Yan listened and couldn't help but sigh. Brothels really make money. Back when he was in the Fire Cloud Sect, he only received about ten pieces of spiritual stones as his salary for a year. To earn a hundred, he had to take risks and work hard, and there was no guarantee of success.

He pondered that when he established his own family and became powerful, he would also open a brothel. There are many benefits to it.

After a while, Bai Siyuan's eyes flashed, and he leaned forward and asked, "Brother, how do you think the news about the attendant monk was leaked?"

Zhong Yan said, "If the Feixian Pavilion had planted a spy in the Lord's Mansion, Shuixian wouldn't have pointed it out like this. It would have revealed who the spy is. There are only a few people, and with a little investigation, it would be easy to expose them. She probably wouldn't dare to do that. It is more likely that the Feixian Pavilion has some kind of cooperation with the Lord's Mansion."

Bai Siyuan pondered for a moment and shook his head. "It's hard to say. These women might sell out the brothel to attract customers. Even if we know, they won't spread it outside. It would be even more difficult for the Lord's Mansion to confirm. Besides, the matter of the attendant monk won't take long to have results."

Zhong Yan pursed his lips and fell silent for a while before smiling. "If that's the case, she is quite bold!"

The two of them chatted for a while, but they didn't mention the conflict with Xue Shanhua, and Bai Siyuan didn't ask much about it.

When the bell rang, Bai Siyuan directly embraced Lan'er and left. It was indeed as Yang Yanqing said, he was an "impatient" person. It wasn't even the afternoon yet.

"Brother, it has been a while since we last met. I have missed you so much."

Ruo Yun sat down softly and poured wine into a cup.

Zhong Yan looked at her face, which was adorned with delicate makeup, and was amazed. He smiled and said, "I have missed you too, Ruo Yun. That's why I rushed here immediately."

Shuixian made a sound of surprise, pretending to be jealous, and said, "I won't bother you two anymore. Enjoy your meal and have fun. If Zhong Gongzi needs anything, remember to call me~"

But she didn't move.

Zhong Yan waved his hand and threw ten pieces of spiritual stones in front of her. "Thank you for the information, Shuixian."

Shuixian took the spiritual stones and smiled, "I hope I can help Brother Zhong."

After speaking, she turned and left.

Zhong Yan took the wine cup handed to him by Ruo Yun, his gaze flickering. Suddenly, he stopped her, "I wonder how much Shuixian charges?"

Hearing this, Ruo Yun paused for a moment and subconsciously moved closer. She placed her hand on Zhong Yan's knee, feeling anxious, afraid that today's business would be ruined.

Shuixian blinked, her smile blooming as she turned around and took three steps forward to sit on the other side, hugging his arm and gently shaking it. "Only 858 pieces. Brother, let the younger sister stay. You won't be disappointed, alright?"

But Zhong Yan's eyelids twitched, and he immediately leaned towards Bai Siyuan's opinion regarding the leakage of the news about the attendant monk.

She could have stood at the door and quoted a price, but she chose to sit in front of him. It was obvious that she believed he could produce so many spiritual stones!

For an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator, who can easily take out more than 800 low-grade spiritual stones for pleasure-seeking?

Zhong Yan was certain that among the Independent Cultivators active in Yangquan Fangshi, there were no more than a handful.

Even though he was a high-grade talisman master, it hadn't been long since he became one.

And Qin Ben would never "share" the news of hiring someone to kill the attendant monk. It could only be that the Feixian Pavilion had planted a spy in the Lord's Mansion!

After Shuixian learned the news and combined it with the last time the three of them came together, she knew that the three of them had made a fortune.

Zhong Yan's brain quickly turned, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He looked deeply at Shuixian.

Indeed, it is difficult to hide a secret. Once it is done, it can be known at any time.
