Chapter 114 Senior Technician

Chen Li saw the creation rules, which consisted of three rules: Progression, Maintenance, and Reduction.

Progression Rule: In the first month, he would be provided with Materials for three Formations. If he successfully created two Formations ahead of schedule every month for the first three months, after the third month, within a two-month period, he would be provided with Materials for six Formations.

Reduction Rule: If he failed to create two Formations on time each month for the first three months, the supply of Materials would stop until completion. Upon completion, he would receive either two sets or one and a half sets. By the sixth month, he would be gently persuaded, 'Go home, child!'

Maintenance Rule: This meant completing two Formations on time every month, and thereafter, he would consistently receive the same amount of Formation Materials each month.

The free activity allowance was: once every month, he could apply to the Proprietor for five days of free activity. If he finished early, the remainder of the month would be free activity time.

However, most people came here for the Alliance's resources, hoping to 'shear the wool.' Everyone was confident that their skills could secure quite a bit.

But through this opportunity, they also learned about the opportunities brought by war; only war would warrant such a heavy investment and such resources.

Chen Li quickly reviewed the rules and understood. At this moment, three sets of Yao Beast Formation Materials were already arranged in the room.

Chen Li began observing the room's layout and discovered some Formations isolatingbreath (Qi). He didn't find any surveillance devices. He put away one set of Formation Materials and started handling the other two sets.

Creating the Formations was the surface task; the most important things were those two people. Chen Li started observing the two individuals' range of activity.

Chen Li spent only two hours to complete about seventy or eighty percent of those two sets of Formations; only the finishing touches would require a little more time.

On the tenth day, Chen Li noticed Wang Zhian’s movements.

He came out and went to the Joyful Workshop in the easternmost part of the city. Chen Li immediately sent a message into his token, applying to go out.

The Proprietor replied, 'Alright, noted.'

Chen Li left Building No. 18. At the entrance, the Proprietor saw that Chen Li had only been inside for ten days before applying to leave, so he wasn't surprised and didn't ask for a reason.

He said, 'In five days, if you do not return, we will find you using your token. If you are dead, we will not investigate. If you are injured, we will also not care for you; we will bring you back to the docking bay, and after six months, you can go back. If you lose anything in the Joyful Workshop, we take absolutely no responsibility for tracking it down!'

Chen Li nodded, 'Thank you, Proprietor, for informing me!'

Seeing that Chen Li seemed agreeable, the Proprietor reminded him, 'That Joyful Workshop has a Golden Core Cultivator stationed there, in the tallest building. If you encounter danger, fly toward that area. Those people wouldn't dare cause trouble on the Golden Core Cultivator's turf!'

Chen Li expressed his thanks again, found the direction, and headed east toward the Joyful Workshop.

Flying at high altitude was forbidden within the city; he could only fly low on his sword. Chen Li slowly flew over.

A few minutes later, Chen Li saw the Joyful Workshop.

From the outside, it was a scene of bright lights and sensual pleasures. He could even hear the sounds of women laughing and playing.

Chen Li disguised his form and stepped into the Joyful Workshop. Upon entering, there was a pavilion called Thousand Fragrance Tower, with many beautiful women standing at the entrance.

They all possessed cultivation at the Early or Middle Stage of Qi Refining, and they all looked pitiful and desirable.

Seeing Chen Li pass by, they called out, 'Fellow Daoist, come in and enjoy yourself! Formation crafting and Medicinal Pills can be used for discounts!'

'Fellow Daoist, we guarantee you won't waste your time; we have everything! We'll send you to heaven!'

The profusion of sights dazzled the eye; the Alliance earns, the Alliance spends—not a single bit is meant to be taken home!

Chen Li ignored them and walked away on his own.

Seeing Chen Li acting like a righteous gentleman, those women gave up and started calling out to other passing Cultivators.

Many Cultivators couldn't resist the temptation, or perhaps this was their original purpose for coming here, and they flocked inside. After the monotony of crafting things in Building No. 18, they certainly had a destination in mind for coming out.

Chen Li continued forward. Wang Zhian was just ahead, but this area truly had a brothel on every five steps, with rows of places like Hundred Flowers Court, Full Spring Garden, Golden Phoenix Tower, and so on—too many to take in.

Chen Li kept walking forward. After a few minutes, he saw a large building ahead, slightly taller than the other brothels.

And Wang Zhian was inside. Chen Li looked at the building's plaque: Immortal Wind Tower. Wasn't this just a slightly higher-class brothel?

There were no beautiful women calling out at the entrance, and the interior seemed quite quiet.

Chen Li confirmed Wang Zhian was inside, then entered the Immortal Wind Tower.

At the entrance, there was a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator who intercepted him upon seeing Chen Li's Eighth Level of Qi Refining cultivation.

'This establishment only entertains Cultivators above Foundation Establishment. Fellow Daoist, please return!'

Chen Li was stunned. This was still a high-class brothel?

Chen Li exited, found a secluded spot, and then disguised his form again, boosting his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Chen Li entered the building once more.

'Fellow Daoist, the entrance fee is one hundred Spirit Stones!'

Chen Li raised an eyebrow. So many requirements? He paid another hundred Spirit Stones and finally got in.

Inside, he saw the layout: high mountains and flowing water, elegant and refined.

A Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator came to receive Chen Li. Her appearance wasn't exactly seductive, but she gave a completely different impression from the calling beauties at the gates of other brothels.

She looked very refined—truly an Advanced technician.

'Fellow Daoist, you must be visiting Immortal Wind Tower for the first time. All the young ladies in our tower are Foundation Establishment Cultivators. We all know some Dual Cultivation secret arts. Coming here is not just for pleasure, but to enhance cultivation together and discuss the great Dao of Dual Cultivation!'

Chen Li was dumbfounded. It sounded so high-level, but wasn't it still the same thing?

They were all doing the same thing, yet the others could phrase it so grandly. No wonder they had higher prestige.

Speaking of which, why were they selling themselves even after reaching Foundation Establishment?

Wang Zhian appeared in Chen Li's Sea of Consciousness on the sixth floor. He asked, 'How is the spending here?'

The receiving Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator patiently replied, 'The deposit to go upstairs is three thousand Spirit Stones, then one thousand Spirit Stones for the Tea Performance Hall on the second floor. For those open today, the third floor and above include Miss Mei Yan on the sixth floor, Miss Lang Wei on the eighth floor, Miss Yue Ling on the ninth floor...'

She added, 'The Tea Performance Hall is where the ladies from the upper floors come down to perform. If you hit it off with one, you can be invited upstairs by the lady, and you won't need the three thousand Spirit Stones deposit!'

Chen Li captured the information: Miss Mei Yan on the sixth floor!

Chen Li said, 'Then I'll go to the Tea Performance Hall first!'

Chen Li thought about it; this was the only way for now. He paid one thousand Spirit Stones.

'Certainly, Fellow Daoist has taste!' The Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator smiled sweetly as she took the one thousand Spirit Stones.

Chen Li walked up to the Tea Performance Hall on the second floor. Currently, three Foundation Establishment Early Stage Female Cultivators were dancing, chatting, and singing opera.

Their attire was very revealing, yet their demeanor and actions were exceptionally reserved—an elegant form of temptation.

When the three Female Cultivators saw Chen Li sit down, one of them stepped forward with an elegant movement and poured tea for Chen Li while her clothes were revealing.

'Young Master, please have some tea!'
