Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

"I'd better continue to wander around somewhere else. Please do as you please, fellow Taoist." Gu Chi declined politely. The middle-aged fat Taoist just chuckled twice, said nothing more, and walked into the Taoist temple alone with his big butt twisted.

After turning a corner, a large lake appeared in front of us. The water was as blue as a huge sapphire embedded in the ground.

There was a crowd of people there, and many people were walking on the embankment. The green willows swayed gently in the wind, and the warm breeze hit people.

There are many extremely luxurious dragon boats and phoenix pavilions parked in the lake, and the melodious sounds of stringed instruments can be heard. In the depths of the lake, where clouds are shrouded, many pleasure boats and pavilions seem to be suspended in the clouds, and it seems like a fairyland.

"What place is this?" Gu Chi was surprised.

Along the embankment, willow trees grew in patches, and people came and went. A young man dressed as a nobleman glanced at her and said, "This is Yunmeng Residence, a famous place of romance in Jiusheng City."

"A place of romance? What does that mean?"

"Uneducated means brothel!"

The young man rolled his eyes at her speechlessly, then looked ahead and said, "This place is most lively at night. The lights are bright, the fairy lake is sparkling, and above the vast sky, jade towers appear and jade boats sail across the sky. How does a poem say it? 'After being drunk, I don't know the sky is under the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams that overwhelm the stars.' These two lines are the most apt description."

Gu Chi had a picture in his mind and said, "Then we really have to meet in person."

"Recently, Yunmengju's chief courtesan is about to be born. I guess the saints of the major sects and the descendants of some ancient families have also sneaked over here."

"That's nonsense. Those brilliant and talented geniuses have seen women before. How could she catch their eyes if she's just a prostitute?" Gu Chi was a little skeptical.

"Yunmengju is not an ordinary brothel. It has an ancient heritage and a huge influence. It is not much inferior to those transcendent Taoist sects."

There are nine romantic places in the Nine Holy Cities. Yunmengju can easily rank in the top three just by considering the word "romance", not to mention its background and influence.

It is said that the chief courtesans of Yunmengju throughout the ages all had unspeakable relationships with those brilliant young talents, and those people eventually succeeded in ascending the throne and became the rulers of their respective forces.

"You mean, those young talents were able to ascend to the throne and become the leaders of their respective factions because of their connections with the courtesan of Yunmeng Residence?"

"It's not ruled out that some individuals gained power through their own aura, but the vast majority of those who were able to sit in that position are more or less inseparable from the successive generations of courtesans at Yunmeng Residence."

At this moment, a jade boat cut through the sky and came over the lake. There were clouds and mist, and there were some colorful clouds flashing, ethereal and holy.

The wonderful music is gentle and subtle, just like the music from the nine heavens, which is so moving that people are intoxicated by it unconsciously.

"The chief courtesan of Yunmeng Residence is here!"

"Lian Xin, it must be her!"

"She has now become Yunmengju's chief courtesan, and is equivalent to the future leader of Yunmengju. I heard that many saints from various sects and schools have come to Jiusheng City because of her."

……

The sky boat was made of five-colored divine jade, and pink flowers were flying all over the sky, each petal was crystal clear and emitted bursts of fragrance.

On the jade boat stood a woman, draped in a light gauze, like a lotus emerging from the water, her arms as white as frost and snow, her crystal body sparkling with an alluring luster, which attracted even more attention than the colorful flower rain all over the sky.

She stood in the rain of flying flowers, her gauze dress barely covering her body, her shoulders exposed, her legs straight and slender, like fine mutton-fat jade, crystal clear and lustrous, incomparably moving, with incomparable temptation.

She looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with facial features as if carefully carved from fairy jade, and a cool and elegant temperament, almost frosty.

"This must be the Fairy Lianxin. I've heard about her before. She's incredibly beautiful, a peerless beauty. It's a shame she ended up in Yunmengju, destined to be buried in the dust."

Some people shook their heads and sighed, seeming to be very regretful.

However, this peerless fairy who is good at refining her mind does not have any worldly signs. She is bright and cold, and looks otherworldly and holy. She must still have a body of ice and jade.

This is a strong contrast, because many people guessed that this was an unparalleled beauty, who should be a bone scraper transformed from spring water, corroding bones and soul-sucking, but now she gives people the feeling of a cold and beautiful fairy with icy skin and jade-like bones.

She stood alone on the jade boat, covered only with a white veil. Her graceful and charming body was faintly visible, and it was impossible to cover it completely, which made her extremely seductive.

Her arms were as white as jade, her waist was slender and could be held in one hand, and her flawless white legs were straight and slender. But the most striking contrast was that although her clothes were so revealing and bold, her temperament was as cold and elegant as frost. She was like the Yueque Fairy who was not of this world, even holier than those saints from various major sects.

"Refine the heart, refine the heart in this mortal world?" Gu Chi narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't quite believe that this fairy who refined the heart was born with such an icy and cold temperament.

She was more inclined to believe that this was a marketing strategy of Yunmengju. A place full of romance and love gave birth to such a pure and innocent saint who was untainted by the mundane world. Such a contrast could easily manipulate people's psychology.

After all, the saints of the major sects and religions are often holy and inviolable.

However, there are often some people with abnormal psychology who love to watch the fall of God, the collapse of the altar, the breaking of the high walls, the bright moon falling into the mud, the moonlight is gone, the pure jade lotus is stained with dust, and finally becomes a numb walking corpse without self-thought.

Just ask yourself, what could be more attractive than taking possession of a saint who is high above, pure and innocent, and untainted by the mundane world?

"What do you think, fellow Daoist? Do you still think that Fairy Lianxin will not be worthy of the attention of those outstanding geniuses?"

The young man dressed as a noble family's son turned his head to look at Gu Chi and asked with a chuckle.

Gu Chi touched his nose and said, "It's just a skeleton, but Yunmengju's method of controlling people's hearts is quite superb."

"what are you saying?"

Gu Chi said, "What you can't get is the best. The more pure and innocent you are, the more I want to take you down and possess you. Yunmengju has created a beauty who is even more saintly than a saint, and then made people think they have a chance to bring her down to earth. As you said, haven't many saints from major sects and schools been lured into this trap?"

The young man, dressed as a young master from a noble family, immediately objected, saying, "When Fairy Lianxin was born, she was enveloped by a divine aura, with blue phoenixes circling her side. Even though she was born into a place as romantic as Yunmeng Residence, she is truly untainted by the mud and mud. She is definitely not what you imagine."

"Immortal light enveloped the body, and blue phoenixes coiled around it. Did you see all this with your own eyes?"

"This……"

The young man was stunned by Gu Chi's question for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
