Jingyuan's Friend Account

Wang Jingyuan's sample of the aphrodisiac, concocted according to the prescription in the Bixie Sword Manual, was truly potent.

Tian Boguang couldn't control himself at all and started "galloping his horse" right there in the downstairs lobby. This was the Ming Dynasty, after all, unlike the more abstract Wei and Jin periods; people during this era still cared about their reputation.

Engaging in public displays of lust was one thing, but doing it in the lobby of a brothel, in front of everyone, was another. The patrons drinking and patronizing courtesans in the lobby all exclaimed:

"So exciting! I love it!"

Tian Boguang was, after all, someone capable of instantly killing a martial uncle from the Mount Tai sect, a testament to his formidable martial arts. Thus, he could effortlessly perform poses that were impossible for ordinary people, and his stamina was exceptionally enduring.

Once he got started, it was a non-stop live show with extremely high value. If Tian Boguang were placed in later eras in Europe or Southeast Asia, he could single-handedly support a theater. Even in Japan, he would be considered a "godfather" in certain industries.

The patrons in the lobby lost interest in their courtesans and gathered around to watch Tian Boguang's "match." Whenever a spectacular moment occurred, they would clap and cheer. Every time he successfully defeated an opponent, they would raise their cups in celebration.

The silver notes Wang Jingyuan had given were meant to book all the available courtesans, but when the patrons reached a moment of excitement, they pushed the women beside them onto the "stage"...

In the private room on the second floor, everyone was calmly eating their meal, as it was already dinnertime. The other three were doing alright, but Yilin was finding it very difficult to adapt. The reason was none other than Tian Boguang's astonishing prowess.

The screams of his defeated opponents could be heard all the way up to the second floor. At first, when Yilin heard the screams, she thought Tian Boguang was committing violence downstairs and quickly ran out of the room to stop him.

However, she returned shortly after, her face flushed red.

Lin Pingzhi had ordered wine when ordering food, but only Linghu Chong was drinking at the moment. He finished a jar of fine wine and asked for another. Usually, when he drank, he would start bragging, but today he was remarkably silent.

Not only was he silent, but he was also restless, his eyes darting around, afraid to look at Yilin. Seeing him like this, Wang Jingyuan understood.

Although he had only had one bowl, that bowl of wine still contained some of the aphrodisiac's components. Wang Jingyuan patted his shoulder, "It's daytime now, and there are few guests here, with plenty of empty rooms. If you're feeling too uncomfortable, I suggest you..."

Before Wang Jingyuan could finish speaking, Linghu Chong slapped his hand away and lectured him righteously, "Junior Disciple Brother, we are disciples of righteous sects; how can we do such despicable things?"

Wang Jingyuan frowned, "How is taking a cold bath a despicable act?"

Linghu Chong looked embarrassed upon hearing this, "I thought you... I misunderstood you."

"Oh~ You thought I was going to arrange some girls for you, huh? You're dreaming! If I can't enjoy myself, how could I possibly let you?" Wang Jingyuan summoned a male attendant and instructed him to prepare cold water for Linghu Chong's bath.

Wang Jingyuan continued to calmly eat his food and wine, then looked at Yilin, "Little Master Yilin, although the process was a bit convoluted, I did save you, didn't I?"

Yilin immediately nodded, "Senior Brother Linghu and Senior Brother Wang's great kindness will be remembered by Yilin forever."

"Remembered forever?" Wang Jingyuan was slightly displeased. He looked at Yilin and said, "Do I look like the kind of person who would expect repayment for a favor?"

Yilin shook her head repeatedly, "Senior Brother Wang is certainly not that kind of person."

Wang Jingyuan suddenly laughed, "Then you've misjudged me. I've found that if I don't proactively ask the NPCs here, they won't give me any quest rewards.

But as long as I ask, the form of the quest reward can be very flexible. So, the thing I love doing most right now is demanding repayment for favors!"

With that, Wang Jingyuan took out a small notebook and a charcoal pencil and began writing furiously, "This is to certify that Yilin, a disciple of the Hengshan Sect, was rescued by me and saved from harm by the lecherous thief (underline) Tian Boguang. She now owes a favor. Yilin herself, her elders, and her direct relatives, upon seeing this certificate, must repay this favor once."

After finishing, Wang Jingyuan handed the small notebook to Yilin, "Take a look. If you have no objections, sign and seal it."

Although Yilin had never heard of such a procedure, she was indeed simple-minded and only thought that one should repay kindness. Thus, she signed the certificate.

Wang Jingyuan looked at the certificate, dusted it off with satisfaction, and carefully put it into his item inventory. In its normal use, it could summon one of the "Three Steadfast Ones." If used unconventionally, it could even summon Master Bujie.

Tian Boguang could kill a martial uncle from the Mount Tai sect, so Master Bujie, who castrated Tian Boguang in the original story and trained him into Yilin's pet, was incredibly valuable. In the original story, he even saved Tian Boguang from Yue Buqun's sword with just a throw of his shoe.

Wang Jingyuan even suspected that Master Bujie could contend with any of the Five Great Sword Sects' sect leaders, though he might have some difficulty dealing with Zuo Lengchan.

With Yilin's matter settled, Wang Jingyuan turned to Lin Pingzhi, "Your father also knows the prescription for the medicine Tian Boguang took. Later, when Tian Boguang is almost done, go downstairs and promote this prescription.

Your Fuwei Escort Agency has branches in several provinces, and your escorts travel all over the place. Selling some medicine to create income would be most suitable. Oh, and the money from selling the medicine should also be included in the profit-sharing."

Lin Pingzhi looked troubled and said bitterly, "Senior Brother, you want me to hawk this medicine in this brothel?"

Wang Jingyuan patted his shoulder with disappointment, "If you don't promote this medicine in a brothel, where else would you promote it? Outside the twelve ministries? Don't look down on this medicine. Enhancing virility, from ancient times to the present, and even into the future, has always been the most important concern for men. The economic value here is immense.

Come closer and I'll teach you some promotional tactics. Remember to use them later."

Seeing Wang Jingyuan speak so earnestly, Lin Pingzhi knew he wasn't joking and could only smile bitterly as he noted down Wang Jingyuan's "GG words."

Wang Jingyuan waited a while longer, hearing that there was finally no more movement downstairs. He then took Lin Pingzhi downstairs. Tian Boguang was now utterly exhausted. Even with his martial arts skills, doing this too much was still draining.

Wang Jingyuan looked at Tian Boguang, who was lying on the lobby floor, drenched in sweat like a wilting flower, and helped him up. He couldn't die here; if he died here, how would his medicine be sold?

Besides, even if Tian Boguang was going to die, he had to extract his residual value first.

"Oh my, Brother Tian, you are truly amazing. If it were a few hundred years later, you could apply for the Guinness World Records." Wang Jingyuan picked up the short knife Tian Boguang had dropped in the lobby and, supporting him all the way, headed towards the private room on the second floor.

Lin Pingzhi was left alone in the lobby of the Qunyu Garden, loudly shouting, "One dose to refresh the mind, two doses for never-ending energy, three doses for eternal life!"

On the way back to the private room, Wang Jingyuan placed his hand on Tian Boguang's pulse and could no longer feel his Internal Energy. Moreover, his pulse was like a candle in the wind, not long for this world.

Entering the private room, Wang Jingyuan placed Tian Boguang on a stool. Yilin flinched back in fright. However, she noticed that the look in Tian Boguang's eyes as he looked over was different from before. Now, his gaze was like an ancient well, calm and undisturbed, as if all worldly desires had vanished.

Tian Boguang turned to look at Wang Jingyuan again, "After hunting geese all day, I was pecked by a goose. There are too many people in this Jianghu who want to kill me. I never expected someone would try to kill me in this way... it truly... it truly makes me unable to guard against it..."
