Wan Hua Lou, Cai Fu Pavilion.

This pavilion is an elegant room for Wan Hua Lou’s distinguished guests to rest temporarily, with Spiritual Qi so rich, it rivals a Tier Two Cave Mansion.

The hanging bright pearls and spirit jades glimmer together, emitting a soft, crystal-like glow, transforming the entire Cai Fu Pavilion into an illusionary Immortal Realm.

A faint fragrance wafts through the air, a secret spirit incense distilled from the essence of a hundred spiritual flowers, which not only soothes the mind but also enhances elegance and inspiration.

Shen Xuan reclined on the main seat, his plain white brocade robe accentuating his increasingly refined and ethereal demeanor.

Using his first visit to Wan Hua Lou as an excuse, he asked the manager Ling Yan to recommend a few immortal maidens to showcase their talents.

At this moment, Shen Xuan was appreciating the Wan Hua Lou immortal maidens with great interest.

A music immortal dressed in a light purple gauze skirt moved gracefully, like a wisp of purple smoke drifting in.

She held in her arms a jade flute, her demeanor as cold as an immortal maiden from the Moon Palace, yet her brows carried a touch of delicate weakness that stirred tenderness in others.

With a slender finger lifted gently, the jade flute was already at her lips.

"This piece is called ’Ballad of Clouds and Water,’ please, Fellow Daoist, enjoy it."

As the music began, it sounded like a clear spring trickling over stones, ringing pleasantly; then transformed into a wind rustling through the forest in the mountains, whispering softly; and when the emotions reached their peak, it seemed like lovers whispering sweet nothings, recounting a poignant and beautiful love story.

The piece concluded, its lingering notes resonating in the Cai Fu Pavilion, refusing to fade for a long time.

"This melody should only exist in the heavens, how often can it be heard on earth? The flute sound is marvelous, worth five pearls!"

Shen Xuan said with a gentle laugh.

The jade pearls are the internal currency of Wan Hua Lou, similar to casino chips.

One pearl is equivalent to ten pieces of Spirit Stone.

Listening to a song, he offered five pearls generously.

Among the loose cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Realm, Shen Xuan was considered extremely generous.

Five jade pearls fell into the jade plate, ringing with a crisp and pleasant sound.

The flute-playing music immortal smiled brightly, her lips curling upwards, just about to offer another tune.

Shen Xuan had already turned to Ling Yan: "Ling Yan, I would like to appreciate the music from other immortals."

The flute-playing music immortal maintained her smile, slightly bowed, and gracefully left.

Following her, one music immortal after another came in, each showcasing their talents.

Some played the guqin, their strings singing like a narrative.

Some played the sheng and xiao, their sounds echoing far and wide.

There was even a music immortal who played the chime bells.

The bell sounds were profound, carrying an ancient wilderness’s vastness and charm.

Shen Xuan smiled and listened quietly.

After each music immortal finished playing, he rewarded them with five jade pearls.

Not too much, not too little, just right.

After the seventh music immortal stepped down.

Ling Yan asked softly: "Is there anyone that Fellow Daoist Shen favors?"

The person who calls himself a loose cultivator with Qi Cultivation Perfection, his generosity was truly astounding, even Ling Yan, who had seen the world’s ways as the manager of Wan Hua Lou, couldn’t help but feel slightly tempted.

"Oh, no more music immortals? No matter, let me see the dancing of the dancing immortals."

Shen Xuan’s gaze swept over the just-departed music immortals, slightly shaking his head.

Though these music immortals had excellent skills, their realm cultivation was only at the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage, their delicate bodies too fragile to withstand his intensity.

Beautiful but impractical, meaningless.

"There are still a few dancing immortals idle in the tower, why not have them perform together?"

Ling Yan suggested with a knowing smile.

Shen Xuan knew well.

In Wan Hua Lou, dancing immortals were more popular than music immortals and didn’t want to waste time.

"Very well. Thank you, Miss Ling Yan."

Shen Xuan nodded slightly.

Soon, three dancing immortals came together.

One had a graceful figure, dancing like a blooming flame lotus, her sleeves fluttering, bringing fragrant breezes, with sparks faintly splashing from the edges of her sleeves.

One wore white clothes like snow, resembling an ice lotus on a snowy mountain, dancing lightly as if walking on clouds, causing the lamps in the hall to sway, with a faint fragrance in the air.

The last one was radiant and charming, her dance filled with refreshing aroma like a hundred flowers blooming, occasionally causing water vapor to condense and fall gently like flower petal rain.

The three of them competed in dancing, contending for beauty, the atmosphere lively.

In the enchanting dances, their long, jade-like legs, uplifted hips, and full breasts were faintly visible, sparking endless imagination.

Amidst it all, the scene was both fragrant and alluring.

Shen Xuan rewarded each with ten jade pearls.

These three dancing immortals, respectively having the attributes of fire, water, and wood, were all at the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

Though each was a rare beauty, they failed to satisfy him completely.

If he were not careful and exerted a bit more force, these dancing immortals might end up shattered and perished.

"Is there no one who catches Fellow Daoist Shen’s eye?"

Ling Yan asked with a slightly resentful tone.

"I have enjoyed the singing and dancing, it’s time to discuss business."

Shen Xuan suddenly said seriously, "Please report to them that Shen Baiwan wishes to meet your tower master."

"I wonder what business requires the tower master’s personal meeting? Could I do it on their behalf?"

Ling Yan probed without showing any feelings.

"This matter is beyond your ability."

Shen Xuan said lightly, his tone slightly revealing indifference.

Ling Yan was only the manager of Wan Hua Lou, at the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

Not qualified to collaborate with him.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, please wait a moment."

Ling Yan said no more, bowed, and withdrew.

Soon, a beautiful female cultivator with a goose egg-shaped face gracefully arrived.

Her bright eyes were charming, and her features were as delicate as paintings, exuding the aura of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. She was Su Yajing, who presided over the affairs of this branch of Wan Hua Lou.

"Loose cultivator Shen Baiwan, greets the tower master."

Shen Xuan stood up and saluted politely.

He was now a fire technique cultivator at Foundation Establishment Perfection.

The other party was a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator.

They were a Great Realm apart.

He naturally had to pay his respects.

"I am Su Yajing, greetings Fellow Daoist Shen."

Su Yajing returned the courtesy with a smile, a strange light flickering in her beautiful eyes.

An invisible spiritual power scanned Shen Xuan from top to bottom.

Apparently, Su Yajing had cultivated some kind of pupil technique, probing Shen Xuan’s strength.

Unfortunately, no matter how she tried to spy, before her was always a fire technique cultivator at Qi Cultivation Perfection.

"Why has Fellow Daoist Shen summoned me late at night, if I may ask?"

Su Yajing inquired, her words carrying deeper meanings.
