Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

"Some people live a life of luxury, reveling every night, while others struggle to make a comeback, relying only on gambling."

Gu Chi sighed lightly. She just wanted to find a house to stay temporarily, but when she asked, she found out that it was just the most ordinary single room, and the rent for one night was as high as four thousand gold crystal copper coins.

"Four thousand a night, why don't you just rob?" Gu Chi was speechless. She would rather sleep on the street than spend such a wasted money.

Besides, Tuoba Cang's Ningshuang City is not far from Jiusheng City. If he is really desperate, he can return to Ningshuang City to stay temporarily.

Soon, she met Murong Zhixiu in an inconspicuous and remote alley.

"You look so happy. What news did you get?" Gu Chi asked.

"There are nine romantic places in the Nine Holy Cities. Liuxiang Yunmengju, Zuimeng Hongchenxuan, and Yunshui Chanxinzhai are all the best choices. It's really hard to decide." Murong Zhixiu pinched his chin and lowered his head in thought.

Gu Chi tapped his fingers and gave him a slap on the face. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Is this the useful information you've gathered all day?"

Murong Zhixiu covered his head and grimaced, saying, "These places have the most traffic, and they are all important figures. If I want to find out some information, aren't these the best places to go?"

Gu Chi curled his lips and said, "In my opinion, gathering intelligence is fake, and wanting a one-night stand is real."

The Nine Holy Cities were ablaze at night, with stars hanging down from the sky like thin smoke falling into the holy city, creating a dreamy and magnificent picture.

"The Nine Holy Cities can independently absorb and release the power of the stars in the sky." Murong Zhixiu explained.

"Compared with the Jiusheng City, the capital of your Jiuli Dynasty is really not even a little bit inferior." Gu Chi sighed and made such an evaluation.

"Let's go to Yunmengju first tonight. I heard that their chief courtesan, Fairy Lianxin, is one of the most beautiful women in the entire Jiuli Dynasty. Yunmeng Lake will definitely be very lively tonight." Murong Zhixiu laughed.

At night in the Nine Holy City, every street and ancient alley is still bustling with pedestrians, and melodious music can be heard coming from the palaces and towers.

They walked on the central axis of Jiusheng City - Huazhang Tianjie. There were countless palaces, magnificent and brightly lit. Looking around, the lights were shining, and the faint singing was floating in the air, touching people's hearts and making them intoxicated.

This is a city that never sleeps, with palaces surrounded by divine splendor and blooming with auspicious clouds, creating a dreamlike scene.

The stars were shining, the moonlight was like water, the whole holy city was shrouded in a sacred veil, and the aroma of wine wafted from the sky.

Looking up, I saw a magnificent palace in the sky, dazzling and bright, with brilliant lights, the rich aroma of wine wafting through the air, pleasant music, and moving singing.

Gu Chi turned to look at Murong Zhixiu and asked with a smile, "What do you mean, you want to go up and spend some money?"

Murong Zhixiu just rolled his eyes at her and said, "How dare you think that? That's Zuixianque. A pot of the lowest quality wine costs 15,000 gold crystal copper coins. A casual meal would probably cost hundreds of thousands."

The corner of Gu Chi's mouth twitched. A random meal cost hundreds of thousands. What was this food?

Murong Zhixiu said, "Don't think it's an exaggeration. After all, you get what you pay for. Dragon Head Ginseng, Divine Phoenix Lotus... just by hearing the names of these things you can tell how rare they are. How could they be cheap?"

Gu Chi asked, "Who opened this Zuixianque?"

Murong Zhixiu said, "The Yinchuan Xiao family is a truly aristocratic family."

They walked as fast as the wind and arrived at Yunmeng Lake while talking.

In front of us, Yunmeng Lake is crystal clear in the night, warm like a piece of exquisite jade, with colorful clouds flowing around it.

At this time, the lakeside embankment was already full of people, most of whom were young men, and they all came to see the Fairy Lianxin.

"You know what, the night view here is really nice." Gu Chi said.

Along the embankment, various flowers and plants are sparkling with the sunset glow, complementing the crystal clear Yunmeng Lake.

The silvery moonlight was shining, and more than a dozen jade boats floated lightly across the lake, with a beautiful woman standing on each boat, her dress fluttering and her jade flute playing melodiously, cleansing people's minds.

Further away, extremely luxurious pleasure boats are flowing with colorful lights and shrouded in mist. Above the deep lake, there are large buildings hidden in the clouds, surrounded by the night and fog, sparkling and looming.

Gu Chi glanced around and said, "So many people, all coming here just for one person. Such a strong appeal and cohesion is truly terrifying."

Murong Zhixiu said, "After all, she is one of the most beautiful women in the Jiuli Dynasty. Who wouldn't want to come and see her in person?"

Gu Chi smiled and said, "You must not indulge in the pleasures of pleasure. As the saying goes, 'Lust is a knife that scrapes the bones, erodes the bones and makes the soul ecstasy'. Don't let the pursuit of pleasure damage your foundation of Taoism."

Murong Zhixiu shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this, and said seriously, "If it were an ordinary romantic place, what you said would be correct, but Yunmengju is a special exception."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chi immediately became interested and asked, "Why is it an exception?"

"The Yunmeng Residence possesses a strange and mysterious dual cultivation technique, and with the aid of a unique mental method, indulging in sexual pleasures between men and women is not only harmless, but can even greatly enhance the skills of both parties and take them to a higher level!"

Murong Zhixiu chuckled and continued, "Why do you think the chief courtesans of Yunmeng Residence throughout history all had affairs with the talented young men of their time?

And those talented people later succeeded in ascending the throne and becoming the most powerful people in their respective factions? It was precisely because of this dual cultivation method! "

"Dual cultivation? Is there really such a method?" Gu Chi looked doubtful. Isn't this a slap in Lu Zu's face?

At this moment, stringed instruments and bamboo instruments sounded together, and beautiful singing lingered in the night sky, touching people's hearts.

The Fairy Lianxin finally appeared. Her white clothes fluttered, and she looked ethereal and otherworldly under the moonlight. She flew towards a flower boat like the Fairy Lingbo.

It was a colorful ship, piled with various flowers and dotted with auspicious clouds, carrying her into the depths of the clouds of Yunmeng Lake.

The next moment, the embankment was in an uproar, and many people rushed to rent pleasure boats and sail to the depths of the clouds in Yunmeng Lake.

"What do you mean? Can't you just fly over there?" Gu Chi looked puzzled, not understanding why these people would go to such lengths.

She glanced back and found that Murong Zhixiu, who had been standing next to her just now, had disappeared without a trace.

But soon she heard the guy's telepathic message.

"Sister Qianzuru, come up quickly!"

Murong Zhixiu was standing on an extremely luxurious dragon boat, waving at Gu Chi.

After a slight hesitation, Gu Chi lightly tapped his toes, then took off into the air and boarded the dragon boat in a flash.

"How much does it cost to rent such a luxurious ship?" Gu Chi asked.

"I don't know, but I didn't spend a penny more." Murong Zhixiu said proudly.

"Do you have connections in Yunmengju?" Gu Chi looked surprised.
