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

Qingyangfang Market.

Feixian Pavilion, a three-story courtyard.

Artificial mountains accompany flowing water, open-air view of floating clouds.

Sitting by the flower bed is a woman in a yellow skirt, swinging her legs barefoot. Her graceful curves and lightly applied makeup do not make her exceptionally beautiful, but she exudes a charming charm.

Watching the customers who pass by with various girls in their arms, she sighs lightly, looks up at the high white clouds, gradually loses herself in thought, and slowly sees the figure of a certain man in her mind, as well as the intimate and joyful scenes between them.

Naturally, her face blushes.

"Why is Miss Ruoyun daydreaming here?"

Shuixian greets her, approaches and sees her expression, covers her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckles, "Oh~ Could it be that you're yearning for love!"

Ruoyun rolls her eyes, "It's only natural to think about it when you have the chance. If I don't have any customers all day, of course I'll yearn for love! It's all because Sister Shuixian doesn't introduce any business to me!"

Shuixian sits down next to her, "You're blaming me wrongly. I've recommended you every time, but customers have their own preferences. It's not easy to force them."

"Well, thank you, Sister Shuixian."

Ruoyun sighs, "If things continue like this, I don't know when I'll be able to complete my task. I'm afraid I won't see any hope until I'm old and faded."

However, she knows in her heart that although Feixian Pavilion has customers coming in all day, most of them stay in the outer hall, spending a few spirit stones on drinks and music, taking advantage of the situation.

The most awkward situation is for the girls in the front five-story courtyard who are paid to enter the private rooms. The customers spend a lot of spirit stones and have many choices. Unless they are particularly famous, their monthly business is very limited.

Among the many sisters, her appearance can only be considered above average, her cultivation level is not high, and her dual cultivation technique is also not high, so it's no wonder she has few clients.

Since the opening, there has only been one customer, Zhong Yan.

Shuixian looks around and lowers her voice, "Don't complain about your task all day long. If the elders hear about it, you'll suffer!"

Ruoyun's face changes slightly and she looks around, "Thank you for reminding me, Sister. I will pay attention in the future."

Shuixian pats her shoulder, "You, don't worry about losing face and offending people. Use all your charm. If there are customers interested in other girls, so what? Approach them, compete with them. Whoever has the ability will win!"

"We're all sisters, we see each other every day. I don't want to make enemies or create trouble behind my back."

"Forget it, think about it yourself."

Shuixian looks frustrated, waves her handkerchief, twists her waist, and goes far away. She immediately greets a man and a woman with a smile, and with a few words, she ensures that the man will come to her next time.

If Yun looked at this scene, shaking his head slightly and sighing softly, Shuixian worked so hard and had some fame, but her business was actually quite bleak. She hadn't opened for more than half a year, but the income from receiving a customer on the other side was several times her own.

Not long after.

Shuixian walked into a courtyard and immediately saw two male cultivators being taken to a room. Her eyes lit up and she hurriedly followed.

"Master Bai, Master Zhong!"

Shuixian directly separated the two from the woman in the red dress and smiled, "These two are my friends. Bring two pots of Qingmei Spirit Wine and put it on my tab."

"Okay, Sister Shuixian!" The woman in the red dress turned around and rolled her eyes in disdain.

"Please come this way, gentlemen!"

The three entered the private room, and Shuixian smiled, "I've been looking forward to seeing you two!"

Bai Siyuan grinned, "Really? It hasn't been that long. Oh, Sister Shuixian must have been looking forward to Fellow Daoist Zhong. How could you miss me, this ugly man?"

"How could I!" Shuixian grabbed Bai Siyuan's arm and stuffed it into the corner, holding him tightly. "Little sister likes someone like Master Bai!"

Zhong Yan's gaze swept over the swaying white hook and couldn't help but admit that this Shuixian was indeed captivating. Just in terms of appearance, she was one of the best in the outer courtyard hall. She exuded a seductive charm all over her body, with a plump figure and a mature charm.

Moreover, Zhong Yan couldn't see her cultivation level, which was obviously higher than his own. It was estimated that her dual cultivation skills had already reached the state of transformation.

Bai Siyuan noticed Zhong Yan's expression and transmitted his voice, "This Shuixian has quite a reputation in the Feixian Pavilion. She is twenty-seven years old and has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. If you want to spend time with her, you'll have to go to the underground basement of the seventh courtyard, and it costs eight hundred spirit stones, which ordinary people can't afford."

"But she often wanders around the outer courtyard and doesn't let go of small money. Now she is so enthusiastic towards us, it's obvious that she has learned about your identity as a talisman master. She knows you're not an ordinary poor Independent Cultivator. When I came here by myself before, she wasn't so attentive..."

Zhong Yan nodded slightly. He couldn't transmit his voice because his realm was not high enough. He had to wait until the later stage of Qi Refining when his divine sense was strong enough.

Feeling the fluctuation, Shuixian blinked and smiled, "Master Bai, what are you secretly muttering about? Don't tell me you're discussing how to torture little sister?"

At this moment, the previous woman in the red dress came in with a bell and took out various drinks and food from her storage bag.

Bai Siyuan said, "We haven't ordered yet."

"After entering the private room, these are the minimum consumption. There's no need to spend more unnecessary money."

Shuixian poured wine from the pot, "What kind of program do you two gentlemen plan to enjoy tonight? Will you stay overnight later?"

Bai Siyuan said, "Are you treating us?"

"Please don't joke about this, young master. You all know very well that this bottle of Qingmei Spirit Wine costs eight spirit stones. If there are any more expenses, I won't be able to cover them, sister!"

The transaction hasn't even started yet, and already sixteen spirit stones have been spent. It's clear that Shuixian is willing to invest heavily.

However, if Zhong Yan and the others stay here tonight, even if it's not her, she can still recover her costs and make some profit.

"Come, let's toast the two young masters!"

After three rounds of drinking.

Shuixian sent the girl in the red dress away and turned to Zhong Yan, taking the initiative to say, "Young Master Zhong is so tough, not afraid of the tyrant of Qingyang City. Shuixian admires you!"

Zhong Yan had already learned from Bai Siyuan's mouth that Feixian Pavilion was indeed a place where information was gathered and sold.

The first class for every girl here every day is to familiarize themselves with the events happening in the cultivation world and the surrounding cities. It is also one of the ways to attract customers by talking to them at the right time.

Of course, most of this information is widely circulated and can be obtained with a little effort, but Feixian Pavilion is more comprehensive.

Truly reliable and somewhat secretive information requires money to buy.

Zhong Yan shook his head, "Don't overestimate me, I'm just hiding in the market."

Shuixian pouted, "Just a martial artist with some strength, how can you compare to Young Master Zhong?"

"You're flattering me. I won't even know how I died when the time comes."

"How could that be!"

Shuixian lowered her voice, "Young Master Zhong is about to become the Qingyang Mage. The guest officials in the city can all be dispatched. A mere Xue Shanhua is nothing to worry about."

Zhong Yan and Bai Siyuan exchanged glances, both shocked.

Only a few people know about the matter of the attendant mage, and it's impossible for undecided matters to be easily leaked.

Even if Feixian Pavilion has connections in the capital, it would be difficult to know who exactly will be appointed as the attendant mage in Qingyang City.

Now that Shuixian has pointed it out, it can only mean that the City Lord's Mansion has leaked the information.

However, it is impossible to determine whether Feixian Pavilion has planted a spy in the City Lord's Mansion, or if Feixian Pavilion itself has a cooperation with the City Lord's Mansion.

"What's wrong, sister? Don't speak without certainty. If the news spreads everywhere before it's confirmed, it will be difficult to back down when the time comes, won't it?"

Bai Siyuan raised an eyebrow, warning her.

Narcissus smiled and said, "Don't worry, my sister is very trustworthy. Since you two are the parties involved, it's only right for you to know. So, how about it? Is this news sincere enough? Why don't you stay overnight today?"

Zhong Yan and Bai Siyuan exchanged glances again, speechless at the extent they would go to attract business.

Regardless of how the news from the monk's entourage was leaked, Narcissus's words had provided them with important information about "betraying their previous employer."

Narcissus added, "Pick whoever you like, my sister will arrange it for you."

"If we refuse, wouldn't that be disrespectful to Miss Narcissus?" Bai Siyuan smiled, "Let's do it later. Arrange for me to be with Miss Lan'er. We haven't finished our last performance yet!"

"Oh~" Narcissus widened her eyes, with an expression that said, "I understand," and turned to look at Zhong Yan.

"Master Zhong, she has fallen for you at first sight. She has come twice already. Let my sister serve you today. Don't worry, my skills are ten times better than Ruoyun's. I will definitely give you an extraordinary experience!"

Zhong Yan smiled, "I still have unfinished business with Miss Ruoyun."

He was not loyal to anyone. Setting aside the price, all the courtesans were the same to him. It would be better to spend all the spirit stones on one person and see if he could obtain the dual cultivation technique from Ruoyun.

A flicker of disappointment flashed in Narcissus's eyes as she smiled, "Alright, if the gentleman insists, then I will satisfy your request. Let my sister prepare for you first. You can have a drink while you wait."

Indeed, she was very practical.

No time to waste, immediately.

However, Zhong Yan stopped her, "Miss Narcissus, I have a doubt. How did Xue Shanhuzi, a big fool, become the leader of the Qingyang Martial Alliance? And he has been in that position for many years. It's impossible for him to be the leader just because of his high martial arts cultivation, right?"

Narcissus chuckled, "Big fool? That's quite accurate!"

Bai Siyuan chimed in, "I heard that the steward of the Xue family is very cunning. He must have played a role in it."

Narcissus looked at the two of them, "Alright, I'll give you this information for free. Xue Shanhuzi has good martial arts talent, but he can't even recognize many characters. He has a simple mind. It's rumored that Guo Qinglin, the steward of the Xue family, is his strategist. Without Guo Qinglin, even if this guy has good combat power, he would have been tricked and killed countless times."

After a pause, she continued, "Guo Qinglin is indeed a capable person, but what few people know is that the one who truly advises Xue Shanhuzi is his wife, Lady Xue Guo, who is Guo Qinglin's sister, Guo Qingxue..."

Finally, Narcissus smiled with a meaningful smile, "If Master Zhong wants to counterattack with a plan, you need to be careful of this woman."

After saying that, she leaned in and whispered in Zhong Yan's ear, "My sister has a plan, and it only costs ten spirit stones."

When she stepped back, Zhong Yan stared into her eyes for a while and said, "Tell me about it."

Narcissus smiled, pressed her slender finger on the table, and wrote two names.

"Enjoy your drinks, gentlemen. I'll go inform Lan'er and Ruoyun to prepare."
