Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

During this period, Li Xiuyuan was completely immersed in this gentle embrace, unable to extricate himself.

However, Li Xiuyuan wasn't the kind of man who would take any woman. During this time, Li Xiuyuan had become famous in this snowy land.

During this period of time, everyone knew that a disheveled monk had appeared in the brothel. Although the monk was obsessed with women, he was extremely picky.

First of all, this philandering monk's first requirement is a young girl in the prime of her life, aged sixteen or eighteen, and secondly, she must be a virgin.

In just a few months, this monk deflowered hundreds of virgins, making him a veritable virginity-destroying maniac.

What surprised everyone even more was that this frivolous monk seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of silver notes, making many of his clients extremely envious.

On this day, at Miaofang Pavilion, one of the top brothels in Chang'an, another virgin's first night was to be auctioned off.

Of course, there is such a rule. The highest bidder wins, and many wealthy young men come to this brothel with great interest.

It's actually quite simple. These young masters have all heard the news that the monk probably won't come to compete with them tonight.

So, these young masters, having mustered their courage, came to this brothel, eager to try something new.

On the high platform, the madam shouted, "Ladies in red, Miss Lichun has arrived!"

At the madam's shout, many customers turned their eyes in that direction. They'd heard that this girl, Lichun, was the brothel's most sought-after courtesan, kept hidden away.

It is said that this young lady, Lichun, is only fourteen years old and has grown into a beauty beyond compare. Many high-ranking officials and nobles have long desired to have their way with her.

However, the madam was patient. She waited until the young woman, Lichun, turned sixteen before releasing her. Today was her first time serving customers.

Then the madam, after some hesitation, stepped onto the red platform and said, "Gentlemen, please don't be in such a hurry, Miss Lichun is coming up now." With that, the madam waved to her right, and a woman slowly walked up.

However, this young lady, Lichun, covered her face with a red veil and bowed deeply to the many customers.

It has to be said that although this girl, Lichun, had her mouth covered, it was still obvious that she was quite well-endowed.

In all the right places, this young lady Lichun had everything she needed; she was clearly a beautiful woman with fair skin, black hair, and a delicate figure.

The madam then spoke up again: "Gentlemen, tonight is Miss Lichun's first night. Gentlemen who want to have a taste of this new experience, don't be stingy with your money. Tonight, Miss Lichun's first night starts at five thousand taels!"

After the madam finished speaking, she suddenly pulled off the veil of the young woman, Lichun. As the veil was pulled off, many of the patrons in the hall couldn't help but swallow hard.

This girl, Lichun, was indeed a beauty of unparalleled grace and exquisite features. What was even more irresistible were her large, charming eyes.

Five thousand taels—this amount reflects a thorough understanding of market prices. Five thousand taels is an absolute value!

Right then and there someone shouted, "Six thousand taels!"

As the tide rises, so does every boat; people kept pushing the price up, and in the blink of an eye, it reached over 13,000 taels of silver.

However, this did not stop; it continued to soar.

Finally, a young master gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Lichun's virginity is mine, don't try to take it from me! I'll offer twenty thousand taels!"

The moment this young master uttered those words, he stunned the entire room.

Just when everyone thought the beauty had found her, a seemingly aloof middle-aged man casually spoke up, saying, "I'll offer thirty thousand taels!"

Upon hearing this, the young master who had offered 20,000 taels of silver felt his legs go weak and he immediately sat down in a chair.

The madam shouted gleefully, "Thirty thousand taels! Thirty thousand taels! Is there any young master willing to offer more than thirty thousand taels? If not, Miss Lichun's virginity will belong to this gentleman!"

The middle-aged man smiled smugly and stood up to walk towards the young woman, Li Chun. Suddenly, a voice came from outside the brothel: "I, Buddha, offer 100,000 taels!"

As soon as Li Xiuyuan said "I see," the once quiet hall erupted into chaos.

"That flowery monk has arrived."

"Has the Flower Monk really not come?"

"Didn't you say you weren't coming?"

"Hmph. That flower monk has a very keen nose; he must have come running here because of the fishy smell."

.……………………

Li Xiuyuan glanced over and saw a beautiful young woman standing there gracefully.

Even Li Xiuyuan himself couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.

This Lichun girl truly lives up to her reputation as the top courtesan raised in a brothel!

Judging by her looks alone, probably none of the women Li Xiuyuan had ever been with were as beautiful as her, and of course, the Seven Fairies were no exception.

However, the seven fairies possessed an ethereal aura, which greatly excited Li Xiuyuan. But this sixteen-year-old prostitute, though a virgin, exuded boundless charm!

Just standing there, he melted Li Xiuyuan's heart.

Li Xiuyuan had taken a liking to her and immediately made up his mind to take this young lady away tomorrow, have some fun with her for a while, and then let her go.

Just as Li Xiuyuan was lost in thought, a sudden attack came at him.

Li Xiuyuan is now considered a near-saint, so how could he not see who was behind this?

Li Xiuyuan secretly accepted the attack, and then looked closely and saw that it was the middle-aged man who had paid 30,000 taels of silver.

With just a glance, Ji Gong saw through it all! This middle-aged man was actually a deity who had secretly descended to the mortal realm to enjoy himself.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan focused his gaze and instantly controlled the middle-aged man's primordial spirit with his divine sense. Then, everyone saw the middle-aged man sigh, turn around, and walk out.

Next, Li Xiuyuan left the city and encountered Black Tiger.

"Very good, from now on you will be my mount."

Li Xiuyuan said happily. After speaking, he put away the Dragon Binding Rope and then cast a spell on the black tiger to heal its injuries.

After a short while, Black Tiger's injuries were mostly healed.

"What's your name?" Li Xiuyuan asked, looking at Black Tiger.

"My lord, I have no name. Please give me one." Black Tiger lowered his head, his eyes flashing with an unusual light, and then responded to Li Xiuyuan in a low voice.

"Okay, from now on, I'll call you Hei Kui." Li Xiuyuan didn't dwell too much on the naming and just gave the black tiger a name.

"Yes, thank you very much, sir." Hei Kui bowed deeply to Li Xiuyuan with gratitude.

Li Xiuyuan looked at Hei Kui, who was bowing in front of him, and smiled. Although he hadn't seen the strangeness in Hei Kui's eyes earlier, he knew what Hei Kui was thinking. However, he didn't care. After all, in the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks were insignificant.

However, to truly win over Black Kui, a combination of kindness and severity is needed. Only by making it understand that following you will bring more benefits can you make it obediently become a mount.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand, and a large ball of merit flew towards the black tiger's head.

Hei Kui was immediately startled by Li Xiuyuan's actions, and then felt a large amount of merit flowing into the top of his head.

Black Kui's eyes were wide open, clearly astonished. When had it ever seen so much merit? Its mood then became extremely excited, and it felt an indescribable joy.

With so much merit in hand, I should be able to break through soon.

Hei Kui never expected that this lord would be so generous to it, bestowing upon it a large amount of merit in one go.

"You should focus on your cultivation. As long as you follow me closely, you'll only receive more benefits in the future," Li Xiuyuan said smugly, his hands behind his back as he looked at Hei Kui.

"Yes, sir, Hei Kui will certainly live up to everyone's expectations," Hei Kui said excitedly.

After saying that, Hei Kui found a random spot around him, sat down cross-legged, and began to improve his cultivation.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded in satisfaction. Then he looked at the pair of twins lying in a pool of blood, which gave him a headache, as he didn't know what to do.

However, he didn't think too much about it and decided to rescue them first.

Li Xiuyuan channeled his magic power into each of the twins, and the magic power entered their bodies and healed their injuries on its own.

Then, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand, and the twins rose into the air and slowly floated up.

Inside the cave, a dazzling array of colors filled the air. The streams of immortal energy seemed to transform into countless immortals, kneeling and bowing before Li Xiuyuan, a scene of celestial beings paying homage.

At a certain moment, Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes. A flash of purple appeared deep within his eyes, and his pupils seemed to radiate a powerful aura, like thousands of thunderbolts.

Li Xiuyuan stood up. This time, he had consumed nearly 500 million merits and finally raised his cultivation to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

At this moment, it is no exaggeration to say that with his current strength, even a mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal is no match for him. Even if a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal came, they would probably have to expend a lot of effort to defeat him.

His increased strength boosted his confidence. Reaching the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm meant that he could be considered a powerful figure in this post-primordial era.

Li Xiuyuan stopped thinking about it. He shook his head and cast another spell to remove the seal he had set up. Then he walked out of the cave.

Before he had gone far, Li Xiuyuan stopped, because in the center of the cave he saw two figures sitting cross-legged on the ground cultivating.

Li Xiuyuan was a little puzzled. He rubbed his forehead and muttered, "Sigh, where did these two come from? The cave was sealed off, so how could anyone get in?"

Upon hearing Li Xiuyuan's whisper, the two figures who were sitting cross-legged hurriedly stood up, took two steps in one, and quickly ran to Li Xiuyuan's side, where they knelt down.

“Thank you so much for saving our lives, sir. Xuan Ye (Xuan Qing) has no way to repay you. We have stayed here without your permission. We hope you will forgive us. We only ask that you do not send us away. We are willing to serve you like a dog or a horse.”

The two people kneeling on the ground looked up at Li Xiuyuan pitifully and said nervously.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned. He hadn't thought about the twins he had saved before, because he thought they would leave on their own after waking up. He didn't expect that the two of them would still be here.

"Well, you two can get up now," Li Xiuyuan said to the two of them.

"Thank you, sir." Upon hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, the two quickly got up from the ground and bowed to express their gratitude.

They were genuinely nervous at this moment, because they had only recently taken human form and their cultivation level had only just begun to reach the Golden Immortal realm.

Moreover, it is now the post-primordial era, and the external situation is turbulent. With their meager cultivation, they would definitely be devoured without a trace if they went out, just like when they were chased by the black tiger. Fortunately, the two of them escaped to Luofu Cave and met Li Xiuyuan, thus escaping a calamity.

They only hoped to become disciples of a powerful figure, not to formally become his master, but simply to receive his guidance and protection, so that they could be spared the disturbances of the outside world, cultivate in peace, and improve their cultivation, thus ensuring their survival in this primordial world.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiuyuan embarked on his westward journey once again.
