“Old Huang, after seeing these charming and beautiful cultivators from Xian Huan Pavilion making talismans, I know what true pursuit is. I want to work hard to earn spirit stones so that one day I can kiss their fragrance.” Lin Yi said with determination on his face, having prepared his reasons in advance.
The allure of these female cultivators was indeed extraordinary, far stronger than Xiao He. If they were truly to tempt him in person, they could probably bring the title effect to its peak.
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Old Huang patted his shoulder sympathetically, “Ah, it seems you’ve really suffered at Xun Fang Pavilion, or else, I…”
“Ahem, keep working hard. The ladies at Xian Huan Pavilion are waiting for your grace.” Originally, he wanted to treat Lin Yi for once but touching his pocket and coughing, he quickly changed his tone.
“Old Huang, thank you for giving me a chance to see this real Flower Moon Land.” Lin Yi nodded seriously, expressing his thanks.
Following this, the second performance began. Two female cultivators with slim bodies came onto the stage. Unlike the previous performers, these two had extraordinarily proud capital, like towering peaks. They held two wine jars in their hands, and nobody knew what they were going to do.
“Here they come, here they come! This performance is very exciting, Little Lin, you better watch closely. We call it ‘High Mountain and Running River’.” Seeing the two female cultivators holding wine jars, Huang De Sheng was instantly thrilled.
At first, Lin Yi was a bit confused, but when the performance began, he was stunned. So, this was what they meant by ‘High Mountain and Running River’.
The female cultivators held up the wine jars, pouring wine into their mouths. Their bodies tilted, and wine continuously flowed from their mouths, crossing the towering peaks like rivers…
As for why two female cultivators were performing, that was the most exciting part of the program. It was truly imaginative.
After the performance ended, a Qi Refinement cultivator who was about to reach foundation establishment waved his hand, “Have these two ladies brought to my room. I want to taste their wine!”
As time approached midnight, the atmosphere in Xian Huan Pavilion was getting hotter and hotter. After each performance, the performing female cultivators were selected by wealthy cultivators at the front.
Even that Zhang Yuan Cheng, after one of the performances, couldn’t resist his desires. He selected two performing ladies and took them to the private room behind, showing how rich this steward was.
Lin Yi also made several talisman templates during these performances. He gained insights a few times. He felt that with one or two more enlightenments, his talisman-making skills could be advanced from proficiency to the great achievement level.
“Fellow daoists, the final performance of the Xian Huan Pavilion celebration is about to begin. No need for your humble servant to introduce, as everyone already knows…”
After this announcement, a woman dressed in a white skirt and wearing a veil, carrying a lute, slowly came on stage. Many cultivators in the audience, including Old Huang, couldn’t help but cheer, “Fairy Song, Fairy Song.”
Lin Yi shook his head, surprised that there were fan circles in the Cultivation World too. These cultivators, who were high above mortals in the eyes of ordinary people, became extremely fanatical because of a woman.
He raised his head to look at the stage, and saw the veiled Fairy Song. Just half of her face revealed outside made his heart throb violently.
She was as flawless as jade, and there was a touch of coldness in her eyes, which made her seem extremely clear. She was just as Old Huang had described, like a cold lotus.
But this coldness made people even more desirous to conquer her, especially for cultivators.
“Alas, a good woman, but she is a flower.” At this moment, a sigh from Old Huang came from the side.
Hearing this, Lin Yi burst out laughing, and was reminded of an adage on Earth — Men’s favorite pastime is to force a wholesome woman into prostitution and persuade a prostitute into wholesome living.
Fairy Song gently sat down, started to play a melody. A wave of spiritual power fluctuated from the lute. The sound was pleasing and beautiful, as if immersing people into a land of tenderness.
The previous performances blatantly aroused people’s desires, while this song played by Fairy Song seemed to gradually lead people into an environment of jade-like tenderness, tasting the caring and gentleness of a bedside lover.
As Lin Yi listened to the song, a faint fragrance reached his nose, and he gradually began to fantasize. He was making talismans at home, and a gentle woman was helping him dip his brush in ink and light the lamp, her eyes exuding tenderness.
When he looked at the woman’s face, he immediately became alert. It was Fairy Song, still wearing her veil, concealing her appearance.
He bit his tongue lightly, instantly becoming alert. Noticing the people around him, it seemed everyone had fallen into a dream.
This act, was it a meeting with Fairy Song in a dream? Realizing this, he understood that when reality does not give, dreams do. Perhaps the faint fragrance was meant to send people to sleep.
However, the dream was shallow, and for cultivators, awakening from it was extremely easy. He noticed a few Foundation Building Cultivators in front of him. They appeared to be immersed in a dream, but in reality, they held sword techniques in their hands, prepared to unleash spiritual power at any signs of trouble.
Lin Yi watched Fairy Song perform on the stage for a while. Her mere presence, alluringly different, was not due to her shape or extraordinary performance.
It was her ethereal, stunningly attractive demeanor that made her the ideal fairy in the hearts of cultivators.
He looked at the effects of the title on the panel, the enlightenment effect of ‘Color is Void’ had reached 18%. Truly extraordinary.
As Lin Yi watched Fairy Song, he kept crafting talisman templates. Fire Talismans, one after the other, were successfully created in his hands.
When he looked up at the stage again, it seemed like Fairy Song had sensed his gaze. She slowly raised her eyes and looked towards him.
As their eyes met, Lin Yi didn’t look away. He stared directly into her icy and clear eyes, and at this moment, the enlightenment effect suddenly shot up to 25%.
Suddenly, he had a realization, and continued crafting the talismans. Upon drawing the final stroke, a flash of light appeared on the talisman template. “Talisman crafting experience +1”.
At this moment, he felt his confusions and bottleneck regarding talisman crafting disappear like everything fell into place in an instant. The arrangement of the talisman patterns became clear to his mind.
Lin Yi took a slow breath and picked up the newly crafted Raging Fire Talisman. A glint of a smile crossed his face. This was a Raging Fire Talisman of the Great Achievement Level. He could sense its extraordinary power just by holding it.
He put the Raging Fire Talisman away and looked back up at the stage again, connecting again with Fairy Song’s gaze. He nodded gently in gratitude.
Fairy Song, her face expressionless and her eyes devoid of any emotion, continued playing her music. Very soon, the music ended. She plucked the strings lightly, producing a clear note.
Immediately, the cultivators present started to come around and look at Fairy Song, their faces filled with admiration.
“My, oh my! My Fairy Song! It would be wonderful if I could grow old with her. She’s so gentle and considerate,” Old Huang’s face showed an indecent expression, seemingly still immersed in the music.
“Ahem, Old Huang, you’re already white-haired,” Lin Yi coughed and said.
“Talkative one, you are.” Old Huang gave him a glance while continuing to watch Fairy Song perform on the stage.
At that moment, Fairy Song gestured gently. The curvaceous lady in red walked onto the stage and bent over to listen to Fairy Song’s whisper. An unusual expression crossed her face briefly before she straightened up to look towards Lin Yi’s direction.
“Oh my, Fairy Song seems to be looking our way, does it mean she wants to spend the night with me?” Old Huang noticed Fairy Song’s gaze and exclaimed excitedly.
The lady in red had a broad smile on her face, “Fellow cultivators, ever since Fairy Song came to our Xun Fang Pavilion, very few have had the chance to meet her alone. Today, she has chosen someone unexpectedly, a big surprise indeed! The one sitting in the northeast corner, that young…”
As she spoke, she pointed towards where Lin Yi was sitting. However, she noticed that the young cultivator had suddenly turned into an old man with a lewd smile on his wrinkled face.
She stopped, looking around for Lin Yi, but she couldn’t find him even after a while.
“Could it be me, the venerable fellow? Thank you, Fairy Song! I finally get to meet the fairy of my dreams…” Old Huang stood up suddenly, a look of delight on his face. He even poured a cup of tea and tried to tidy up his sparse white hair.
