My Cultivation Starting from Archery

After coming to this world, it was the first time he had entered such a place.

"Young Master, please come in."

Stopping at the entrance for barely two breaths' time, Chen Sansi was surrounded by two hostesses and ushered inside. Contrary to his expectations, inside the high-class brothel it wasn't just about being flanked by beauty and mired in drunken debauchery; there were also numerous artistic performances, especially involving various musical instruments. The music alone was enough to reveal the high skill level—something that couldn't be achieved without ten to eight years of hard practice. Moreover, the many literati who were reciting poetry and engaging in verbal duels represented a blend of vulgarity and elegance, no wonder tales of romances and rivalries between scholars and brothel women often came out of the Capital City.

"Young Master."

An old madam respectfully asked, "Are you here to look for someone or is this your first visit?"

"My first visit."

Chen Sansi looked around.

The letter from the Seeking Immortal Tower merely told him to come here but didn't specify who to look for or how, leaving him clueless.

However, since it was arranged this way, he assumed the other party would make contact first.

"Young Master, please take a seat."

The old madam rushed to find him a seat and began to introduce the girls and the process, which was quite complicated.

As soon as Chen Sansi sat down, he had to participate in "pointing at the tea flower," paying ten taels of silver for the tea, which essentially was just the minimum entry fee. Following that, should he fancy any of the girls for company, a separate price would be set.

The girls were ranked into different grades, with the Oiran being the most expensive. Having money alone wasn't enough; one also needed to recite poetry to attract her attention and have a chance to spend the night.

"I can manage that."

Chen Sansi thought, with the poems he still remembered, he could certainly show off a bit here.

Unfortunately, he wasn't in the mood.

He was here for serious business today.

On the surface, Liangzhou City was tranquil, but beneath that, danger lurked everywhere and every moment had to be used to enhance his Power. Indulgence also needed the right timing.

An hour's wait and still, there was no movement. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Chen Sansi didn't spend a single penny more than the entry fee, which made the madam roll her eyes at him.

He didn't get to meet anyone from the Seeking Immortal Tower, but he did end up meeting acquaintances.

Sun Buqi, Yan Changqing, and several sons of officials.

"Mr. Chen, you should have said something earlier, and we could have come here together," said Yan Changqing, offering a toast, "I am a regular here and can introduce you to some rare beauties, all top courtesans guaranteed to satisfy you."

"Sansi, what are you doing here?"

Sun Buqi was surprised, "This isn't like you!"

"..."

Chen Sansi, unable to avoid it, simply responded, "I've been tired from cultivation recently; just here to relax a bit."

The purpose of visiting the Seeking Immortal Tower was a secret, of course not to be publicly disclosed.

"Sansi, this isn't good for you!"

Sun Buqi said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant and waiting for you at home. Let's go, we can go hunting in the mountains instead."

"?"

Chen Sansi looked at him, feeling something was off.

"Sansi!"

Sun Buqi said sternly, "So many people know you here; aren't you afraid it'll spread by tomorrow and everyone will know?"

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Chen Sansi was very calm.

His master disliked lecherous individuals, but he was here in search of the Seeking Immortal Tower, something his master was aware of.

In this world, men visiting brothels was nothing unusual, so why fear people?

"You, you..."

Sun Buqi was a bit anxious, "Sansi, my sister is at your house taking care of your sister-in-law."

Sun Li?

Chen Sansi belatedly realized.

Recently, he had felt something strange about everyone's behavior.

After his initiation ceremony, his master even mentioned arranging a marriage for him, and today Senior Sister Nine also hinted whether the gift was meant for Sun Li. Combining Sun Buqi's attitude, perhaps they were planning to marry off their girl to him?

Why?

To Chen Sansi, this kind of thing should require mutual consent.

Does Senior Sister Sun even agree?

Well, Senior Sister is very pretty.

But he really hadn't considered these matters.

Still the same reason—currently, he lacked the mind for it.

"Bu Qi, take a seat."

Chen Sansi didn't leave, "Let's just drink and listen to songs; we'll leave after tonight."

"Okay."

Sun Buqi finally sat down, "As we agreed, don't stay overnight."

"It seems you, my boy..."

Chen Sansi teased, "A regular? I couldn't tell; I'll have to report this to our master."

"Don't, Sansi, that's not fair,"

Sun Buqi hurriedly said, "I won't snitch on you, can't you just pretend you didn't see anything?"

Chen Sansi laughed and clinked glasses with him.

The brothel grew increasingly lively as time approached the Hour of the Dog.

Many talents began to compete eagerly, bidding for the right to spend the night with the top courtesans of Red Sleeve Tower.

The price for one night with the Oiran Ning Xiang reached a terrifying five thousand taels, enough to buy two Mystic Iron Furnaces. In addition, Miss Ning Xiang required poetry; only those whose poems were good enough while also being wealthy could get the opportunity to meet her.

Note, it was to meet, not to spend the night.

After meeting her, whether one could spend the night depended on one's performance.

It was unknown how beautiful she was to enchant these many men; it mustn't be some illusion...

Illusion Technique!

Chen Sansi had a Spell, and people from Seeking Immortal Tower possessing an Illusion Technique made sense, right?

Could it be that this Oiran was someone from the Seeking Immortal Tower?

"Miss Ning Xiang, please meet with me!"

As time passed, poem after poem was written and sent to the upper floors, yet no one was called up.

Many were so anxious they paced back and forth, and some who were drunk even attempted to rush upstairs but were stopped by the Martial Artists maintaining order.

"Brother Chen!"

Yan Changqing clasped his hands, "Won't you give it a try? With phrases like 'With a heart elated like a galloping horse, I enjoy all the flowers in Chang'an in one day,' you are certain to win Miss Ning Xiang's heart. I've heard that anyone who makes it upstairs is so bewitched they can't recover for three days and nights; ah, the taste of it..."
