Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

After reading the guide and browsing the forum, Ao Peng roughly knew how to proceed.

He left the spawn point and walked forward along the main road in the middle. After a few minutes, the system notification sounded.

【You despicable yet prudent heir, you left your cradle-like birthplace not because you wished to inherit your ancestors' glory or uphold the ironclad laws of the present world, but simply because you could no longer gain any more benefits.】

Ao Peng curled his lip, thinking, "Do you have to make me sound so terrible?"

The text continues.

You have arrived in Joyful Town and lit up the ancient temples here. You can teleport between the two lit temples.

It has a built-in teleportation mechanism, which is not surprising to Ao Peng.

Originally, this was just an ordinary small town, but its location on a major transportation route, adjacent to the capital, made it strategically advantageous for both offense and defense. In the old days, the Tantric sect of Buddhism valued this place and used it as one of its missionary strongholds.

The town of Joy is filled with the scent of women.

They do not eat grains, but only the essence of life and the offerings of incense.

The rich see this place as heaven, while the poor see it as hell.

But whether it's heaven or hell, the visitors to Joyful Town come and go, only the high-hanging red lanterns and wine signs remain unchanged.

[You despicable heir, seek your fortune in Joyful Town, and may you find your true love there.]

Seeing the system wish him to find true love in Joyful Town, Ao Peng deeply felt the system's malice towards him.

What's the difference between this and finding a girlfriend at a hair salon?

He left the ancient temple and looked around.

Although the town had many merchants, it had an indescribable desolation and decay.

The most eye-catching one is Pear Blossom Street.

This is a bustling area comprised of three wide streets.

It gathers most of the brothels and entertainment venues in Huanxi Town, with rows of tiled houses and flags bearing shop signs fluttering in the slightly chilly wind.

The sounds of birdsong and dancing butterflies mingled with the aroma of wine, creating a scene reminiscent of a prosperous era.

But looking down a little further...

Beneath the scarlet lanterns that resembled ghostly eyes, corpses were wrapped in straw mats and thrown outside the door.

If a corner of a straw mat is visible, and it is a man, he will be skin and bones, his life force drained of every last drop; if it is a woman, her hands and feet will be covered with festering sores, and she will have all sorts of ailments.

Everyone knows there's something wrong with Pear Blossom Street in Joyful Town, so most people would choose to explore Market Street or other places instead.

But Ao Peng walked towards the largest wine sign without hesitation.

Perhaps on other topics, people on the forum would be more secretive.

But once someone has been to a place like Joyful Town, they will definitely try it, and regardless of whether they make a profit or a loss, any man will boast about it.

This allowed Ao Peng to learn a lot about the characteristics of the brothels in Huanxi Town.

This is the territory of the Joyful Buddha, and also a "master-apprentice point" of the system. However, this master-apprentice point is a deadly trap!

This apprenticeship point basically doesn't consider the player's fate; as long as you enter, you can become an apprentice and learn skills, and it's free!

Then the worst part came.

The Joyful Sect teaches [Tummo Meditation], which is an authentic Buddhist Tantric practice and is considered a high-level practice among all the techniques available to players!

However, this method requires practicing with the female bodhisattvas of the Joyful School.

At first, the female bodhisattvas will be very restrained and help you get started with [Tummo meditation].

Then the female bodhisattvas will ask you to spend incense to unlock more learning postures.

Although it's a word game, the descriptions are so vivid that players are naturally enjoying it. After all, they won't die, and they still get over a hundred incense offerings every day.

Then a few days passed like this. Once the players were found to have made progress in the practice of Kundalini meditation and generated Kundalini within their bodies, the female bodhisattvas would begin to slowly extract the Kundalini.

In the end, players will not only die, but will also lose their constitution attribute, and the skill [Kundalini Meditation] will be directly reset.

Some clever players learn the skills and then run away.

But so far, apart from those who are just bragging, no one has actually run away. After all, you've only learned a basic skill. To go against the entire Joyful Sect, even if this is just a branch of the Joyful Sect, is definitely not something a novice player can fight against.

But how can a man back down in the face of such a challenge!

Ao Peng stepped into the gate of Hongxiuzhao without hesitation.

The moment he entered the shop, a madam with her face covered in white powder and painted with scarlet rouge, looking like a corpse, immediately stepped forward. "Is this your first time here, sir?"

Ao Peng got straight to the point, saying, "I've heard that this is a branch of the Joyful Sect, so I've come to become its disciple."

Upon hearing that Ao Peng had come to become an apprentice, the madam maintained her smile, but her eyes betrayed her disdain.

The system's text appeared.

[I never expected you, someone so consistently despicable, to be so brave. A true inheritor of courage! I take back my previous assessment of you. Your courage in facing challenges will surely illuminate the path forward for those who come after!]

The madam glanced at you. Although your fate was only slightly better than a beggar's, you were still a virgin, fresh dregs, a decent little snack for those starving bodhisattvas.

So she didn't refuse your request to become her apprentice, and smiled as she welcomed you inside.

Ao Peng followed the madam into the Red Sleeve Pavilion. Inside, a maze of carved doors stretched out, and pink light shone from all directions. Combined with the red gauze curtains, it was impossible to distinguish between time and space. Ordinary people who entered here had no chance of escaping without a guide!

You were taken to the boudoir in the back courtyard, and the madam led you into a room.

Ao Peng glanced at the door and waited.

If this room is classified as A, B, C, or D, it should be categorized as the worst.

"Rest here for a while, the teacher will be here soon."

Ao Peng entered the room, where there was only a pair of burning incense candles and a large bed that could fit three or four people; there wasn't even a table or chair.

Ao Peng didn't wait more than a few minutes.

Then the madam brought over a slightly shy woman.

With her bright eyes and white teeth, she was in the prime of her life, and with a shy smile, she was like a swaying water lily, truly deserving of the title of beauty.

The girl appeared reserved under Ao Peng's unbridled gaze, her body even trembling slightly.

The madam chuckled, "Young master, this is Yingren. She will be in charge of teaching you [Kundalini Meditation], which is the introductory technique of our sect."

After saying that, the madam left.

Ao Peng reached out to grab Yingren, but the girl, despite her name, easily dodged away with a slight twist of her waist.

However, this did not dampen Ao Peng's spirits. He produced a wine cup from somewhere and presented it to Ao Peng. The wine was mellow and red, with a rich aroma, and rippled gently. "Please, young master, drink this cup to the brim."

It was truly a case of feigning reluctance while simultaneously welcoming.
