One month later, in Lone Goose City.

As a major city in southeastern Jiangzhou, the nightlife is just beginning after dark.

The streetlights lit up one after another, and the evening breeze carried the scents of rouge, face powder, and decadent wine.

Nonghua Fang is one of the most famous brothels in Guyan City. It has a four-story gate tower with rows of red gauze lanterns hanging from the eaves, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

The building was filled with the sounds of stringed instruments and the occasional flirtatious banter between men and women, creating an atmosphere of sensuality and escalating intimacy.

The beauties, with their varied figures, are dazzling to behold.

Wang Congyun sat in the private room, wearing a brand-new brocade robe with the collar half open, leaning lazily against the soft couch and embroidered gold pillow. He had spent most of the night in the flower shop, and was intoxicated with the smell of wine, with traces of cosmetics on his body.

On his left sat a girl with almond-shaped eyes and a round face, pouring wine. On his right, a woman with a slender waist and a pert bottom leaned on his shoulder, peeling grapes. He ate two grapes and then laughed heartily. He casually pinched the girl's peach-shaped buttocks, which made her gasp and pout.

The room was tinged with crimson, and the incense burner emitted wisps of steam.

A group of girls surrounded him, their red and green clothes piled up. He half-closed his eyes, drunk and hazy, and would occasionally reach out to pull one into his arms and play with her at will. He looked exactly like a carefree Taoist priest who was fond of pleasure and lust.

crunch--

The door was pushed open, and the madam, who was in her forties, walked in, followed by two young girls. They had similar features and were quite charming. They were clearly sisters, and they followed behind her timidly with their eyes down.

The madam smiled broadly and waved the handkerchief in her hand.

"Oh, Daoist, you're still not resting? I've brought you two new girls! They're serving customers for the first time today, both are clean-cut and pretty young ladies. Take a look and see if they suit your taste?"

Wang Congyun glanced up and then grinned, his breath reeking of alcohol.

He then pulled the two sisters into his arms, and as they stumbled, he caught them by the waist with one hand each to steady them.

He casually pulled out two gold leaves and tossed them into the madam's hand, laughing drunkenly, "Well done! From now on, whenever there are any more beautiful young women like this, bring them over for me to try, understand?"

The madam smiled broadly as she held the gold leaf.

"Oh my, Daoist Master, don't I know you? Go ask around! Everyone in these streets knows the story of how your magic is so profound that you made all the girls in the neighborhood unable to get out of bed overnight! From now on, I'll call all the girls I have here for you, no questions asked!"

Wang Congyun then took out two more gold leaves as a reward.

"Alright, you know what's good for you! This is a reward from the Daoist Master! Go down."

The madam thanked her profusely and left.

Laughter continued inside the room as Wang Congyun, tipsy, embraced the two beauties in his arms, looking them over and pinching them.

He is now in his forties and will soon be in his fifties. However, the Taoist lineage he received is indeed extraordinary. He can enjoy two Jiazi (60 years) of lifespan after receiving the Tao only once. Not to mention that he is only in his forties, even if he is eighty years old, he will still look like he is in his prime.

This physique is far beyond that of ordinary people, with all functions, and can even fight against many opponents without any fear.

thump!

He took the opportunity to pull the sisters towards the bed, throwing them down through the thin gauze curtain. Their robes were loose, the curtains hung down, and the candlelight flickered. The room was filled with a radiant spring light, so bright it was almost reflective. He pressed down on them impatiently, tearing at them amidst the girls' giggles.

tear-

Swish!

A vast expanse of snow-white open space.

Following closely behind, Wang Congyun's fortunes rose and fell, and he spent most of the night giving Taoist teachings.

The girls from the flower shop were so badly taught a lesson that they dared not talk back, and they all fell into a daze.

……

……

In the latter half of the night, the noise from the flower shop gradually subsided.

The lanterns under the eaves were lit.

Wang Congyun pushed open the door and walked out. The drunkenness and languor on his face had completely disappeared. His steps were steady and his eyes were indifferent. There was no trace of licentiousness or debauchery. His clothes were neatly dressed.

He walked to a quiet spot in the back alley and said casually, "You're back? Did you find anything while observing outside until the middle of the night?"

Li Xiaobing slowly emerged from the shadows, teasingly saying, "Brother Dao, your Daoist arts are indeed profound, and you indulge in revelry every night. You truly have the spirit of a man! I am truly envious... Can a mere farmer like me have such a strong physique? I also wish I could be that good at fighting; it would surely be of great use in the future to pass on the family line."

Wang Congyun: "..."

Are you fucking insulting me or praising me?

Li Xiaobing chuckled and wisely put away her joking intentions.

"Tell me, what did you gain from this trip back to the mountain? It's not convenient to discuss in detail via the insect spirit's message. I heard... Master and Uncle-Master are going down the mountain?"

Li Xiaobing nodded and said, "Yes, they have been dispatching inner disciples everywhere recently to plan the restoration of the Jiao Sha Forbidden Land... They will personally come to Lone Goose City to oversee the operation as early as the year after next or as late as five years!"

"In addition, the sect has decided on a policy of dividing the agricultural path, which is to distribute more than 200 farmers from Dajiang New County to various places in Jiangzhou. On the surface, they will be stationed in various places to spread the teachings, but in reality, there will be outer disciples and messengers secretly monitoring them."

Wang Congyun's expression shifted.

He wasn't afraid of his master coming. He had prepared for so long that he was confident he had done everything perfectly and wouldn't easily reveal any flaws. That old man Dongdaozi wouldn't be able to see anything amiss.

Divideable agricultural roads—this is indeed a thorny issue!

The agricultural path prioritizes inheritance and focuses on gathering people together.

The sudden division of the four directions will severely compress the development of agricultural paths in the outside world. After Master arrives, the supply line of the Qin family in Qingshan Lake will be completely cut off, and those agricultural cultivators who are used to restore the forbidden area will have no way to survive.

However, a recent batch of cultivators has already left without leaving any loose ends. Qingshan Lake now has at least eight hundred people, and even without new recruits, it can form its own force and develop in the shadows in a short period of time.

Of course, he didn't say these words aloud.

He was used to being cautious and secretive. He was the only person around him who knew the farmer's exact whereabouts. Li Xiaobing knew at most that he had secretly rescued the farmer but did not know how. Yan Xin only knew the general direction but did not know the exact location.

At this moment, Li Xiaobing was extremely anxious and pressed for an answer: "Brother Dao, what did you mean when you said there was hope for breaking through to the third realm? Is there really a method to break through?"

Wang Congyun took out a pre-prepared array diagram from his bosom and slowly nodded.

"This is the method to break through the three realms, which requires an opening ceremony... There are two types."

He unfolded the array diagram and showed it to Li Xiaobing in detail, providing explanations as needed.

"The first method is called the Three-Nine Opening Formation. This method requires twenty-seven second-realm Tian Jun to form an array for one person to break through to the next realm and open the gate... The advantage is that it requires fewer people, but after breaking through, the realm will be unstable and it will take at least half a year to settle down and stabilize."

"Furthermore, these twenty-seven Tian Jun will be unable to break through to higher realms for the next three years, and will also be unable to open doors for others."

"The second method requires forty-nine Tian Jun to form a seven-seven formation. Although it involves a large number of people, there are no future problems. After breaking through the realm, the realm is stable. The remaining participants can rest for ten days to half a month before continuing to open the door for the next person, or they can break through the realm on their own."

"Of course, regardless of the method, all the cultivators performing the opening ceremony must have a cultivation level that is not too low; at the very least, they must be able to use the earth-moving technique."

As Li Xiaobing listened, she became increasingly shocked and horrified, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.

He had pondered more than once what the beginning of the three realms was and how to break through them. Only now did he see a feasible method, and he was filled with astonishment!

Wang Congyun's confident tone clearly indicated that this method had already been used before! It was completely feasible! But how was such a perfect method discovered?!

Li Xiaobing had long suspected that Wang Congyun had some agricultural routes behind him, but now it seems that the water is much deeper than he imagined!

He knew he shouldn't ask what he shouldn't know, so he simply memorized the array's arrangement and turned it to ashes with a wave of his hand.

"What a pity! If it were before I went up the mountain, before the Daoist sect split into the agricultural sect, I could have united more farmers to open the gate... But now I can't break through in the short term!"

"I just told the Grand Elder that the Three Realms are as difficult as ascending to heaven, and that breaking through them in one trip down the mountain is too conspicuous. The Daoist sects are all old foxes, and they will definitely become suspicious."

Wang Congyun nodded slightly, indicating that he had already given it some thought.

"Good! You need to remain dormant for at least another ten years. If someone breaks through to the next realm during this time, you can do so naturally... If no one breaks through, when you return to the mountain next time, reveal your idea for the opening ceremony, and then go through several repeated attempts and failures to disguise it, making the Daoist sect believe that you figured it out on your own, and then you can break through to the next realm in a reasonable way..."

"Fortunately, the lifespans of cultivators at the second level of the Agricultural Dao also surpass those of ordinary people, so there's no need to wait."

Li Xiaobing bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your advice, Brother Dao."

The two fell silent for a moment, having already confided in each other implicitly, needing no further words.

At this moment, Li Xiaobing suddenly asked again, "Brother Dao, you've been trying to awaken your innate wisdom and switch to farming. Have you made any progress?"

Wang Congyun's expression darkened.

"No, there seems to be a conflict between Taoist cultivation and agricultural cultivation; the two cannot coexist in one person!"

Li Xiaobing sighed, but reassured him, "Brother Dao... there's no need to worry too much!"

"Few other Daoist disciples are able to capture insect spirits and have them recognize them as their masters, but you have not only gained the recognition of multiple insect spirits, but other land spirits also trust and follow you. This is perhaps a reward for your years of being close to and helping the agricultural path... Heaven has mercy, the agricultural path will not abandon you!"

Wang Congyun didn't reply and turned to walk out of the alley.

"Brother Dao, where are you going? Aren't you going home?"

"Home? I have over twenty beautiful wives and concubines waiting for me in my private residence in Lonely Goose City. Of course, I'll go back to that home!"

Li Xiaobing stood in the alley, watching him walk further and further away.

Blanch!

He knew perfectly well it was all self-deprecation and pretense... but why did he feel a little envious?!

He also longed for a harem of wives and concubines, with colorful flags fluttering and banners never falling!

Brother? Are you sure you're really acting? I don't think you're acting at all!

……

……

In the forty-fourth year of the Jingtai reign, in the depths of winter.

Xiaopei County, Jiangzhai.

Several sheets of paper were spread out on the desk. Jiang Tu gestured and circled, summarizing and connecting various scattered pieces of information, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

Previously, the information from the Insect Spirit Intelligence Network came from various directions, including secret messages between Wang Congyun and Li Xiaobing sent from Lone Goose City, messages from Lingjiang Temple inner disciples mobilizing clues and messengers from all directions, information exchanged among agricultural disciples, and messages traveling back and forth from Qingshan Lake...

He went through each point carefully, his mind exceptionally clear.

The Taoist sect is secretly pushing forward the restoration of the ancient forbidden area of ​​Jiaosha. They clearly don't want anyone to know what's hidden there.

The opening ceremony at Qingshan Lake has been confirmed to be feasible. It is possible to attract many people to break through their cultivation levels with just one rank of 17. Furthermore, the Duotian Jun formation ceremony has been developed in the future.

The Taoist sect adopted a strategy of division, aiming to disperse the Tian Jun of Dajiang New County throughout Jiangzhou.

The Taoist sect in Meizhou is recruiting agricultural practitioners, intending to bring them to other states.

Wang Congyun indulged in philandering, surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, and grew increasingly carefree and happy.

Dongdaozi and Qingshuzi are about to descend the mountain.

Each and every item is neatly arranged, each with its own great use and a wealth of information...

and many more!

It seems like something strange has been mixed in.

Wang Congyun, what's wrong with you?
