The Diancang School is built in Cangshan. As one of the mountains in the southwest, it is naturally lingering in the landscape. And because the mountains are high enough, you really look like a god among immortals in it.

But for the Diancang School, no matter how good the scenery is, it cannot withstand more realistic troubles.

That's poverty.

If it is the legendary mountain gate of immortal cultivation, you may not have to worry about the difficulty of walking on the mountain road. However, the Diancang Sect is not an immortal gate after all, but a sect in the martial arts world. Although practicing martial arts can make your body stronger and stronger, facing the difficult mountain road, you can still walk slowly step by step.

Although the difficulty in moving the path did indeed cause the Diancang Sect to hone the excellent light body skills from top to bottom, it obviously did not benefit the Diancang Sect's wealth at all, and it only had a negative effect.

In fact, since the establishment of the Diancang Sect, the Diancang Sect has never been rich. Not to mention the rich super sects like the Zenzu Temple backed by the imperial court, Taihe Mountain, it is a bit pale in comparison with some third-rate sects located in the wealthy areas of Jiangnan.

Fortunately, the martial arts passed down by the ancestors of the Diancang Sect are indeed unique, and there are no other famous sects within a hundred miles nearby. Otherwise, whether the Diancang Sect can continue to support it may have a big question mark.

It is precisely because of this that the Diancang Sect has some attributes of being a bit of a eccentric.

He Wu, one of the seven swords of Diancang that were famous in the world at that time, is now the seven elder of Diancang Sect who has worked tirelessly to Yingtian City for a mere 200 taels of silver, and has deducted their Bai Shier who has "requested for salary" for their Diancang Sect.

However, it has been two days since he arrived in Yingtian City. Not only did He Wu not find Bai Shier's trace, but he encountered an extremely difficult problem.

He has no money.

As Liudu, Yingtian City is much more prosperous and lively than the small Ningbo City, but this prosperity and lively undoubtedly also indicates a higher consumption level.

He Wu was only thinking about asking Bai Shier for 200 taels of silver, but he didn't consider the other ones. With the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart, he rushed to Yingtian City and found this fact that he was a little crazy.

If he wants to get the 200 taels of silver from Bai Shier, he needs to stay in Yingtian City for a few more days before he has time to find Bai Shier's whereabouts. But if he wants to continue to stay in Yingtian City, he must first take out a lot of silver to satisfy the premise of food and accommodation here...

Seeing that the money that was not much slipped away from his hands at a speed like flowing water, he felt distressed in his heart, one thing was, more, but more realistic dilemma:

His money has been spent.

If he could not find Bai Shier's trace tomorrow and he would get the 200 taels of silver back from Bai Shier's hand, he would have no money to stay in the hotel and would have to sleep on the streets like those beggars, or to squeeze in the dilapidated temple outside the city.

Bai Shier, who didn't know these, looked at the seventh elder of the Dian Cang Sect with interest and humbly discussed the inn shopkeeper who was impatient about how many days of debt to pay for credit, and then barely filled his stomach with just a few cheapest cooked cakes every day.

"Tsk tsk, these shopkeepers located in the bustling city are unhumane. If there are such guests in our Dongsheng Inn, they will definitely be lenient for ten or eight days. Even if they can't pay them back in the end, at most they will be allowed to work in the inn to pay the house."

Even when the inn shopkeeper rejected He Wu with disdain and ordered the waiter to throw He Wu's things out, he did not forget to comment on it.

However, he didn't really watch it like that. He Wu was helpful to him before. Now that he saw that he was in trouble, he could help him, so he could help him.

However, when he took out the money and wanted to help He Wu pay the house and asked the inn shopkeeper to politely invite He Wu back, he looked at the money in his hand and always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, and it seemed that it was still a very important thing...

But what exactly is it?

...

Located in the richest Jiangnan area in the world, it was the former capital of the state. Now, the capital of Liudu has always been prosperous.

Perhaps when Taizu established the capital here, because the country was first established, it could still maintain a simple atmosphere. However, over a hundred years have passed and as it grew prosperous, this simplicity disappeared with the rivers that rolled east into the sea.

And in this Yingtian City, the most luxurious and popular place is naturally the Qinhuai River, which is almost famous throughout the world.

Since ancient times, beautiful women are always indispensable in places where talented men appear. If they are not talented men, they undoubtedly need beautiful women to be by their side...

However, there are always fewer beauties, and there are undoubtedly even fewer beauties that can be famous all over the world.

Therefore, the "mass-production" beauty has become the best alternative. For mediocre people who are not mediocre, this beauty who can buy money to accompany them will undoubtedly solve their urgent needs.

Of course, if they can let the beauty stay overnight in the end, they will not refuse...

Such things undoubtedly reached their peak in the previous dynasty. Hundreds of years ago, whenever the courtesan was selected, it was a grand event that could cause a sensation in the whole world.

In this dynasty, although Taizu was born as a commoner and never liked such extravagant things at the beginning, this kind of grand event was less than hundreds of years ago, but more than a hundred years later, the group of people who once again had the right to speak, like the predecessors hundreds of years ago, once again imitated the predecessors.

Among them, the selection of courtesans on the Qinhuai River is undoubtedly an existence that can be compared with the grand occasion hundreds of years ago.

Although the selection of courtesans is held after the provincial examination every year and has no connection with the present, this does not prevent it. The Qinhuai River still becomes the most prosperous and lively place in the entire Yingtian City.

In addition to the many brothels and Chu Pavilions on the banks of the Qinhuai River, there are countless flower boats with bright colors and unique shapes floating on the river, either moving or quiet.

Some of these flower boats are owned by the brothels and Chu Pavilions by the river. They are rented to wealthy foreign merchants and young men who can afford expensive expenses for them to take their favorite girls to raft on the river. And more are the rich and high-ranking officials who live in Yingtian City for themselves to make them for their own travel.

Zhang Bin, the Minister of War, was demoted to Yingtian several years ago, and his family was second-ranked senior in Songjiang, not far from Yingtian. Naturally, he also owned a flower boat he built himself.

At this time, he was also rafting on the river on his own flower boat.

However, unlike the flower boats not far away, where the boats were full of singing and laughing, the one sitting on the flower boat with him was an old man with gray hair but looking very energetic.

If Bai Shier could see the old man at this time, I believe he would be able to call out his name immediately.
