No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 143 Xiangzhu Tower

It was three days later when Xu Shun arrived at Qinghua Market.

No matter what the future holds, he still holds the position of Qingyun Jiwei.

He still has to take classes at Qingyunji today.

A few days ago, the black gap blocked out the sun. In the past few days, the gap gradually shrank and finally became a crack.

Today, that crack has completely disappeared.

The sky was still clear and the sun was still shining, as if the dark, doomsday-like scene of the past few days had never appeared.

But Xu Shun knew that the world of immortal cultivation had completely changed.

Because the immortal has come, or because Zigeng no longer has to drive Didi.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's that expression on your face? Why do I feel like you're looking down on me?" Zi Geng said in high spirits at Qingyun Market.

Now he is the head of the Qinghua Caravan, responsible for leading a caravan from the Qinghua market, trading, collecting intelligence, and expanding the influence of Qingyin.

From being a Didi driver preparing to open a chess and card room disciple to becoming the person in charge of a caravan, how could Zi Geng not be ambitious?
"No, I'm afraid that you can come back, but the caravan can't!" Xu Shun looked at the huge flying boat behind Zi Geng and shook his head.

The flying boat has a flat bottom, and at first glance, it looks a bit like the cargo ship I saw in my previous life. The cargo hold is large and flat, and the ship's cabin is small.

The purpose of doing this is to load the maximum amount of cargo.

"How could it be! I'm doing something for the sect!" Zi Geng said, "I heard from my master that the sect will be undergoing major changes in the future. What does your master say?"

He wanted to know if Xu Shun had any news about Lan Ran.

"I haven't seen my master for several days." Xu Shun said.

He stayed in the small courtyard on the mountain for a few days and indeed did not see Lan Ran, so he didn't know what Lan Ran was busy with.

"Tsk...your master must have inside information!" Zi Geng smacked his lips.

He was deeply impressed by the scene on that day when Lan Ran wielded the Qinghua Sword and destroyed the immortal's magic weapon.

"Your master definitely knows as much as my master, but he just doesn't tell you!" Xu Shun said with a smile.

Zi Geng's face darkened, and he said, "...Why are you bringing up that?"

Xu Shun saw many monks loading goods on the flying boat and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"We'll leave after we finish packing. This trip is not too far. We'll first go to Feixue Mountain of Jiying Sect in the north." Zi Geng pointed to the north and said.

The Jiying Sect is a large sect thousands of miles away in the north.

"Then you have to be more careful. The world of immortal cultivation is not peaceful right now." Xu Shun said, "Perhaps every three steps you take, you'll find an immortal, and every five steps, you'll find an emperor."

"I know! So there is another senior uncle in charge of the caravan." Zi Geng nodded and said, "That senior uncle is very good at explaining things in simple terms, and I am the one who handles the daily affairs."

"The master's employment of people is indeed extraordinary. He actually asked the master to help you..." Xu Shun was about to say something when he suddenly heard a bell in the distance. It was someone calling Jiwei in Qingyun Market.

"I'm going over now!" Xu Shun said, "We'll talk when you come back."

After saying that, he got on a two-person flying boat nearby and flew away with a whoosh.

"Okay! You go ahead and do your work!" Zi Geng looked at Xu Shun flying away, waved his hand, then turned back to the monks carrying the goods and said, "I'll help you. We can work faster together!"

The two-person flying boat under Xu Shun's feet is a standard feature of the Qingyun Market Guards.

The appearance looks like two single-person flying boats put together, which looks awkward and even worse than a three-person flying boat.

Therefore, the guards rarely use this except for patrolling!
too ugly.

When Xu Shun arrived at the place where the bell rang, he saw a quiet courtyard surrounded by lush bamboo forest. It was the Xiangzhu Tower.

Xiangzhulou is the largest brothel in Qingyun Market. All the people who come and go are cultivators, and all the money they pay is in Qingyin.

Xu Shun once found out that the boss behind Xiangzhulou was a mysterious person from the Qinghua School.

At the entrance of Xiangzhulou, an exquisite stone arch bridge spans over a clear stream. The gurgling stream is like a whisper. On both sides of the bridge are carefully trimmed green bamboos, which sway in the wind and make rustling sounds.

When Xu Shun entered Xiangzhu Building, he saw several female examinees surrounding the gate of a villa and starting to knock on the door.

The courtyard naturally has a defensive formation, so knocking on the door won’t open it.

As the female cultivators spoke, they took out their magic tools and talismans and hit the gate of the villa, which only made crackling sounds.

As they attacked the gate, they shouted, "Husband, open the door!"

"Mama Zhang, you have the guts to come out and play, but you don't have the guts to open the door?"

"My husband, my husband, are you there?"

Xu Shun coughed lightly and walked in: "Who reported Jiwei?"

Half of the cases reported to Jiwei at Qingyun Market were caused by the ladybugs in Xiangzhu Tower.

Either the original wife would chase after the man, or a few monks would fight over jealousy.

"Me!" said a very pretty woman wearing a light blue dress next to several female cultivators.

She is the manager of Xiangzhulou, Tantan.

Tan Tan has a pretty face, with delicate features as if carefully carved by a craftsman. There is a gentle gleam between her eyebrows, just like the surface of a lake brushed by drizzles in spring, which is clear yet has a hint of imperceptible ripples.

Her temperament is that of an orchid, which is light yet deeply attractive. She does not fight or compete, but can inadvertently become the focus of everyone's attention.

"Why are you here again?" It was not the first time Xu Shun had seen Tan Tan.

"Oh, oh, oh, these wicked guests broke in without any reason and tried to force their way in when they saw the gate. I'm so scared!" As soon as Tan Tan opened his mouth, he made a clasp sound.

"...Don't you have your own guards at Xiangzhu Tower?" Xu Shun was speechless.

How old are you? Why do you still speak in a clipped tone?

But Xu Shun knew that some people were born with the clip sound, while others pretended to have it. He guessed that Tan Tan was probably pretending.

"Oh~" Tan Tan said in a clipped voice, "I pay the rent on time every year, but now I'm being harassed by bad guests. You Jiwei are going too far! Humph!"

She even hummed a little, which was very cute.

"They won't be able to break the magic circle in your courtyard until tomorrow morning!" Xu Shun looked at the magic circle in the courtyard and said, "I'm leaving! You handle this matter yourself!"

Jiwei is not Xiangzhulou's thug, so he can't help Xiangzhulou deal with such things.

“Oh my god~ Jiwei is really too much!” When Tan Tan saw Xu Shun was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped Xu Shun and whispered, “Good brother, help me drive them away.”

"When you get off work, I'll arrange a small courtyard for you, and I guarantee that my brother will be satisfied!"

"It's just me~" Tan Tan blushed and said, "It's not impossible~"

"No need!" Xu Shun refused decisively, saying, "I have something else to do!"

He was about to leave when he heard a man in the yard shout, "Stop knocking! I'll open the door!"
