Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Yunyan Pavilion.

The most luxurious pleasure house in Lin’an County.

It was just about sunset, as the night gradually covered the sky.

All the big red lanterns were hung high up at the Yunyan Pavilion.

Jiang Yuan had just stepped through the grand entrance.

“Oh, isn’t this Young Master Jiang? How did you find the time to grace us with your presence at Yunyan Pavilion today?”

An elderly madam came over, her face instantly lit up with a smile.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and smoothly said, “Arrange the VIP lounge for me!”

“Of course, Young Master Jiang!” she replied with a grin.

She beckoned, and a girl dressed in jade-green ran over immediately.

“Take Young Master Jiang to the number one private room on the second floor!”

“But isn’t the number one room reserved?” The girl in the jade-green outfit delicately asked.

“Just do as you’re told and don’t question it.”

The girl in green turtled her neck out of fright and nodded her head in agreement.

She then came up to Jiang Yuan and said, “Young Master Jiang, my name is Xiaoxiao. Your room is on the second floor.

“Then you lead the way!”

“Alright, Young Master Jiang.”

At this moment, Uncle Ma was looking around with gleaming curiosity.

“Uncle Ma, let’s go!”

“Oh? Oh!”

As Jiang Yuan was climbing the stairs, he said, “Uncle Ma, you are single and getting old, don’t suppress your desires. You can visit here more often, be careful not to harm your health by suppressing too much.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? I have a sweetheart!”

Jiang Yuan revealed a playful smile, “Uncle Ma, when did you get a sweetheart? What is her name? Let me propose marriage for you! At your advanced age, I don’t trust anyone else to care for you.”

“You…you stop mocking me! You’re at the age to be marrying and having kids and to assure your father’s spirit in the sky.”

“Get married and have kids?” Jiang Yuan shook his head, “Those are just worldly entanglements, my pursuits are beyond everything in this world!”

Jiang Yuan then privately added, what I’m seeking is immortality, is to live freely and happily.

After the passage of time, beauty is nothing but a pile of dry bones, what is the sense in that?

After arriving at the first-floor lounge,

Jiang Yuan pushed open the window to gaze down below, the entire view of Yunyan Pavilion at his disposal.

The enticing women, dressed in breezy clothes, were all in sight.

In a moment of whimsy, Jiang Yuan opened the status panel of each woman to take a quick look.

Afterwards, he lost interest.

All these women were incredibly ordinary, with only a handful possessing innate qi movement.

Among them, several had an innate qi movement which bestowed masterful musical skills, like a divine ability.

Hardly anyone had talent for cultivation.

At this point, Uncle Ma, while looking down below, praised, “No doubt this is the best room, what a view!”

“Yes, it’s quite decent,” Jiang Yuan replied casually. “Young Master Jiang, is there anything else you need?”

The maid in green from behind asked.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, “No, you may go.”

“Alright!”

She obediently nodded her head and slowly left the room.

Just as she was about to close the door, Jiang Yuan’s voice suddenly rang near her ear.

“Wait, come back!”

At this moment, the status panel of the maid in green popped up in front of

Jiang Yuan.

[Name]: Shu Xiaoxiao

[Realm]: Not yet entered a realm

[Innate Qi Movement]: In gestation (above Purple), Blessed (Blue), Innocent Heart (Blue), Outstanding Talent (Blue), Excellent Perception (Green), Body of Wood (Green)

[In gestation]: A not yet born innate qi movement, the lowest level is purple.

[Blessed]: Excellent luck, often met with unexpected good fortune, always able to receive help from beneficial people, disasters always stay away from you.

[Innocent Heart]: Clear and calm mind, extremely few distractions, divine soul naturally increases with age.

[Outstanding Talent]: Exceptional innate talent for cultivation, substantially weakens bottlenecks, greatly increases the speed of cultivation.

[Excellent Perception]: Your understanding surpasses that of ordinary people, any technique would be easier for you to comprehend.

[Body of Wood]: Cultivation of wood attribute techniques is twice as successful with half the effort, progresses rapidly but cultivation of gold attribute techniques are likely to defeat the purpose.

Goodness!

After Jiang Yuan finished reading her status panel, all he could say was, goodness!

This panel was so impressive, even more so than his current status.

Moreover, she also had an unknown qi movement, which was still unborn.

The minimum was above the purple level, and it could potentially be even higher!

To let her stay here would be such a waste of talent.

If that’s the case, then let me be the person to support her.

Seeing her qi movement of [Blessed], the corner of Jiang Yuan’s mouth curved into a smile.

Shu Xiaoxiao stood nervously before Jiang Yuan.

Her hands continuously rubbed against the corners of her clothes.

“How old are you?”

“I…l’m almost 15,” she softly said.

Then, gathering courage, she raised her head and said, “I’m…l’m quite young, could you perhaps…not…call some other sister to accompany you?”

As she spoke, her eyes were already welling up with tears.

“What on earth are you thinking?” Jiang Yuan flicked her forehead with his finger, chuckling in feigned anger.

“Ah! I… I’m sorry!”

Jiang Yuan casually tousled her hair, “Sit down first!”

“Ok! Alright!”

Shu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, obediently sitting near him.

“Do you know why I suddenly called you?”

“I don’t know!”

Her reply was still given with her head lowered.

“Lift your head first! Am I that terrifying?”

Hearing Jiang Yuan’s slightly stern voice, Shu Xiaoxiao slowly lifted her head.

Atter a moment, a blush spread across her face.

“Young Master isn’t terrifying!”

“Then isn’t that just fine, always looking down for what? With your shy character, you must have just come to Yunyan Pavilion, right?”

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded, obediently saying, “Yes, my parents sold me to Yunyan Pavilion to afford medical treatment for my little brother.”

“So, do you hate them?”

Shu Xiaoxiao shook her head, “A little, but I can understand! They used to treat me very well! However, they had no choice if they wanted to save my brother’s life.

Jiang Yuan chuckled and tousled her hair again.

Suddenly said, “Wait, don’t move!”

Upon hearing his words, Shu Xiaoxiao immediately froze, not even daring to blink.

Jiang Yuan pointed to the shallow wound on her collar.

“Been hit?”

“A few days after I came, I tried to escape and got caught,” she replied.

“Would you like to cultivate?”

“What does cultivate mean?” Shu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

“To be like me! Untouchable, un-angered, doing whatever I please!”

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded fiercely, “I do!”

Jiang Yuan smiled immediately, “I’ll help you then!”

At this moment, Uncle Ma whispered into Jiang Yuan’s ear, “Don’t tell me! Don’t tell me! Is the young master actually a beast? Not even sparing a girl so young!”

Immediately after, a dark line appeared on Jiang Yuan’s forehead, leaving him speechless in his heart.

Just at this moment,

The sound of a scuffle approached from outside.

And it was moving closer and closer to them.

“Hey! Young Master Liu, you cannot go in there, the person inside is not someone you can offend.”

“Not offend? I want to see who in Lin’an County I can’t offend! He dares to occupy the room reserved under my name.”

Before he even finished speaking, the sound was already very close..
