Hearing this, Long Junhai smiled and said, "Miss Ye, there's no need to be so. You should know that you're not just teaching me. And although your teaching time is short, you're teaching me everything you know. You should know that even if it takes a hundred or even a thousand years, we'll still learn the same thing from you. So there's no need to refund the tuition."
"But this is really..."
Seeing that Ye Yuyan was still hesitant, Long Junhai smiled and said, "If Miss Ye really feels bad, let's just treat it as a friendship. If Miss Ye has new breakthroughs and insights in the future, we can communicate sincerely."
Hearing this, Ye Yuyan felt grateful, so she immediately said, "Don't worry, Mr. Long. I will definitely help you wherever I can in the future!"
Long Junhai smiled and said nothing more. He turned to Wan Qingsi and said, "You guys chat first. I'm going to go out and see how those Wen Dao cultivators improve their strength."
Wan Qingsi rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you just want to go to a brothel? Do you want us to accompany you?"
Long Junhai smiled awkwardly and said, "Let me find out the situation first."
"Go ahead, no need to explain." Bai Ruofei said with a smile.
Long Junhai shook his head helplessly, guessing that after he left, these two women would definitely start to talk about him behind his back again.
Long Junhai was located dozens of miles away from the nearest brothel, but for a cultivator, this distance could be reached in the blink of an eye.
Chengwang Pavilion is the closest brothel to this area and is quite famous. It was named after a cultivator who was crowned a king. It's said that this cultivator was a mere commoner, with at most the strength of a mortal immortal. However, while sharing experiences at Chengwang Pavilion, he experienced a sudden enlightenment, his talent increased by seven dou, and within a day, his strength reached the Golden Immortal realm. He was exceptionally crowned a king and became a legend! His future is limitless, and he will at least become a Xuanxian master!
This is how the practitioners of the Daoist school practice. Sometimes they make no progress for tens of thousands of years, and sometimes they soar to the sky with just a sudden enlightenment. This can be said to be the practice method that is closest to luck.
When Long Junhai walked into this place, there were quite a few guests around, at least a few hundred. This was in broad daylight, and if it was night, there would be even more people.
The entrance fee for each person is one thousand Tongbao, which is a fair price. It is considered the cheapest brothel nearby. Although it is not very large, the business is pretty good.
The lobby on the first floor is quite noisy, with people chatting, singing, and performing songs and dances. The venue is very large and there are no separate rooms, so it looks quite spacious.
Starting from the second floor, there are small rooms. These rooms are well soundproofed and airtight, and the defensive formations can block the prying eyes of those below the Xuanxian level. Some monks who like quiet or need to discuss private matters will choose to enter the private rooms.
The Chengwang Pavilion has a total of six floors. It is not that it cannot be built higher, but the Tang Empire has a clear regulation that all houses cannot exceed six floors, otherwise they will be treated as illegal buildings, and in serious cases, they will even be severely fined.
The people of the Tang Empire all abided by the country's laws, so no one would take this risk. Therefore, the buildings were relatively low, and the tallest building in the entire Chang'an City was the Imperial Palace.
There is a huge transparent suspended box on the top floor. This is the stage for singers and dancers to perform at night. Although it is empty now, it will be very lively at night.
Long Junhai booked a room on the sixth floor and removed the formation barriers outside, so he could see everything outside clearly.
Although this is a brothel, most of the people here are engaged in cultivation. It is very rare to see people who come here for pleasure, at least not a single one in broad daylight.
Long Junhai watched the singing and dancing in the hall on the first floor and felt it was just mediocre. Perhaps it was because it was not yet night, so the singers and dancers below were not paying much attention and looked listless. At least this kind of performance could not impress him.
However, other audiences watched with great interest. Perhaps they preferred this style of performance.
Long Junhai also listened to some people's conversations. The so-called poems and songs were not as good as he had imagined. The transitions and rhymes were very forced, not to mention the artistic conception and charm.
Long Junhai ordered a table of food for himself. There weren't many valuable clues amid the noisy sounds outside, so he thought of finding a singer to sing a song.
"Boss lady, find a girl who can sing a tune."
Hearing that Long Junhai needed company, the proprietress immediately came over with a beaming smile. Although her place had many customers, few were actually looking for pleasure. She could only earn a small amount from entrance fees and drinks, which led to a decreasing number of girls here. Most of them had left for larger brothels. If this continued, she would be on the verge of closure! Therefore, she treated customers like Long Junhai with special care.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I will call the girls over right away!" The proprietress said this and immediately called all her girls up.
"Girls, it's rare for us to meet a big guest today! He's at the peak of the immortal realm! He comes here alone to drink. Whether you can be chosen depends on your own abilities. Don't say that I'm partial to you, mom!" The proprietress now wants to serve her girls, otherwise no one will be willing to work with her.
At this time, a row of fifteen beautiful women walked in. Their cultivation was generally low, and most of them had not yet reached the mortal immortal realm. Only three of them were in the early stage of mortal immortal realm.
There are always people with miserable lives. Even in the prosperous Tang Empire, strength is still king. If one's cultivation fails to reach the realm of mortal immortals, their lifespan in this life will not exceed ten thousand years. And what can one do in ten thousand years? For many cultivators, it is just a few retreats.
Without a strong background and sufficient talent, one is a slave from birth, reduced to a tool for reproduction when young, and has to struggle for survival when old. Although degeneration is not desirable, it is also a kind of helplessness.
This is the case for more than 90% of these singers and dancers. If they are lucky enough to give birth to a child for others, they will be rewarded with some cultivation resources, and they can live a stable life after breaking through the mortal and immortal realms. However, if they cannot give birth to a child, they will be abandoned. When they have no resources, they can only sell themselves and eventually become prostitutes in exchange for meager survival resources.
Long Junhai looked at these women, each of them wearing revealing clothes and heavy makeup. He knew what their purpose was without having to think about it.
"Please sit down. I have two wives. I am not here for any romantic reasons. I just want to talk to you about life." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Look at this gentleman, he is really gentle and you can tell at first glance that he is very talented. Since he wants to chat about life with all the girls here, then we have to negotiate the price, right?" said the proprietress with a smile.
