Ten thousand miles away from the Gutian Immortal City, there is a medium-sized Oasis called Fangcao, which possesses Third-Order Spiritual Vein of decent size and quality.

There is only one cultivation force in the Fangcao Oasis, and that is the Profound Sound Pavilion, Music Sect renowned in the Fengyuan Kingdom and the Outer Sect Alliance.

The fame of the Profound Sound Pavilion stems not only from the reputation of Fairy Ni Yue, the top Golden Core Realm female cultivator in the Outer Sect Alliance, but also from the "Miaoyin Pavilion" located in various Immortal City and large Oasis.

Miaoyin Pavilion has always been the most profitable business of the Profound Sound Pavilion.

The female cultivator of the Sound Path in the building was beautiful and elegant.

The art of music can cultivate one's character, cleanse the soul, and help overcome Heart Barrier and bottlenecks.

In name only, the Immortal Music Master of the Miaoyin Pavilion sell their art, not their bodies.

If there is enough "sincerity" and both parties are willing, it is possible to have intimate relations with a female escort.

The monks who enjoy this honor become the subject of conversation, inspiring envy and jealousy.

However, the Miaoyin Pavilion is a high-end entertainment venue in the Cultivation World, which poor cultivators simply cannot afford.

Inside the Profound Sound Pavilion, in the Grand Elder's cave dwelling.

"Junior Sister Jiang, has the news from Poison Dragon Pool been confirmed?"

The woman in palace attire, who appeared to be in her thirties, was graceful and beautiful, with a delicate and elegant demeanor. She was surrounded by silk sashes.

"Senior Sister Xiao, although our Miaoyin Pavilion has been suppressed and marginalized by the Poison Dragon Pool, and our influence there is limited, this matter has been confirmed by several major intelligence organizations. It has been confirmed that Old Monster Shen of the Poison Dragon Pool was killed by a mysterious Nascent Soul. The Poison Dragon Pool is collapsing, and everyone is turning against it. Its Spirit Vein has been partially split, downgraded to the third tier, and its internal leadership has split, with some fleeing to the Two Cults Borderland."

Jiang Ruotong wore a white dress, exuding a refined and elegant air. She had fair skin and long hair, but she was serious and reserved.

In the present-day Profound Sound Pavilion, Fairy Jiang serves as the Pavilion Master. Fairy Ni Yue has stepped down to the second line and become the Grand Elder.

"Karma has come to pass, it's truly gratifying!"

Xiao Ni Yue smiled sweetly, her delight evident.

She gracefully rose, took out a bottle of her prized wine, and shared a celebratory drink with Fairy Jiang.

For nearly a century, Profound Sound Pavilion has received the secret support of the Heavenly Master, and the Miaoyin Pavilion industry has developed smoothly.

Only within the Outer Sect Alliance's Poison Dragon Pool faction were they suppressed, accused of gathering intelligence and being spies for the Snow Mountain Sacred Land of the Fengyuan Kingdom.

This led some factions to follow suit, causing Miaoyin Pavilion to shut down in some Immortal City and Oasis, or to hand over more of its profits.

Especially in recent decades, the power of Poison Dragon Pool has grown stronger, while Profound Sound Pavilion's industries in the Outer Sect Alliance area have shrunk, and profits have become lower and lower.

"Who is that mysterious Nascent Soul? He actually managed to kill Evil Shen, and even the Nascent Soul couldn't escape? It's said that Heavenly Master Zhong has always been wary of Evil Shen and dared not leave Fengyuan Kingdom to fight him."

Xiao Ni Yue's melodious voice fell like pearls, and her moon-like eyes revealed curiosity and longing.

In the Cultivation World, Nascent Soul True Lord can manipulate events at will, altering the regional landscape and influencing the fates of countless forces and ordinary cultivators.

Such a powerful being naturally inspires awe and inspires admiration and worship among those in the same camp.

Fairy Jiang took a sip of the spiritual wine, her snow-white face calm and composed, and added:

The largest intelligence organization in the Outer Sect Alliance, "Yellow Sand," speculates that the Nascent Soul stage expert who made the move may be related to the hidden, mysterious force known as the "Green Dragon Society."

"Green Dragon Society?"

The Fairy Ni Yue looked unusual; the crescent-shaped cup in her hand rippled with light, and a little wine spilled out.

She was briefly lost in thought, her expression revealing a hint of reminiscence, a touch of expectation, but mostly loneliness.

Fairy Jiang seemed to be deep in thought, and said with a faint smile:

"Senior sister doesn't actually think that the Green Dragon Society and the mysterious Nascent Soul expert are related to that person who disappeared a hundred years ago, does she?"

The Green Dragon Society is a very mysterious organization, known to very few.

Even the smallest glimpse of their abilities within an intelligence organization inspires immense fear.

"Sigh, can't you let your senior sister dream a little something wonderful?"

Xiao Ni Yue snapped out of her thoughts, glared at her irritably, and scolded her playfully.

Fairy Jiang remained silent for a moment, recalling her first encounter with Mr. Xu two hundred years ago, when she was rescued by him.

Later, during the crisis, Mr. Xu revealed his Late Core Formation cultivation strength, killing Fang Zhen and others, and also healing her when she was unconscious and seriously injured.

At that time, Fairy Jiang developed feelings for Mr. Xu, but unfortunately, just as things were starting to develop, Fairy Ni Yue stopped them, not giving them a chance to get to know each other.

After learning the reason, Xiao Ni Yue saw through Mr. Xu's irresponsible nature and, not wanting Fairy Jiang to meet the wrong person, she stepped in to stop him.

Xiao Ni Yue herself was deeply in love with Mr. Xu, even though it was all under the guise of winning over a powerful patron and sacrificing herself.

"Although Mr. Xu was irresponsible and disappeared for a century, he owes neither you nor Profound Sound Pavilion anything. At least you had a beautiful past with someone you admired and liked..."

Fairy Jiang sighed softly to herself.

Although there were some regrets and complaints, they couldn't blame Senior Sister Xiao.

Senior Sister Xiao has a good eye for men, and I didn't want her to get hurt emotionally.

For example, Fairy Qiu had a relationship with Heavenly Master Zhong for a period of time, but it turned out that she was deceived emotionally.

Heavenly Master Zhong could only grant her the status of a concubine at most, and he attempted to indirectly control the Profound Sound Pavilion through Fairy Qiu, using it to infiltrate and influence the Outer Sect Alliance.

Having realized the truth, Fairy Qiu became depressed and increasingly aloof.

After Fairy Jiang left, only Xiao Ni Yue remained in the bedchamber.

Having indulged in wine today, Xiao Ni Yue was somewhat drunk, her face flushed and her skin soft and supple.

She stretched out her arms and lazily lay down on the jade bed. As she turned over, her palace dress came undone, revealing her slender and shapely figure.

"Drinking too much high-grade spirit wine can also harm your health."

A warm and familiar male voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Who is this person!

Xiao Ni Yue was taken aback, her face paled, and her drunkenness vanished. She instinctively activated her protective Law Power.

Until she caught a glimpse of the white-clad man sitting by the bed, a familiar voice, a familiar face.

A century later, the man remains youthful and handsome; however, his tied-up black hair is streaked with silver, giving him an air of profound wisdom and experience that comes with the passage of time.

Back in the Profound Sound Pavilion, Xiao Ni Yue was the only cultivator who knew Lan Chang'an's identity and had seen his true appearance.

In fact, when Lan Chang'an returned to the Liang Kingdom, he took Fairy Ni Yue with him to search for the whereabouts of his lost fellow disciples, including Liu Qingyan.

"You..."

The two looked at each other, remained silent for a few moments, and then there was a brief awkward silence.

Perhaps it's because we've been apart for too long, and the emotional memories have faded, sinking deep into our hearts.

Upon seeing each other again, there was no warmth or friendliness as I had imagined; instead, there was a sense of timid unfamiliarity and distance.

"Disappeared for a hundred years, I thought you had died somewhere."

Xiao Ni Yue's plaintive, coquettish voice broke the silence first.

"What, Fairy Xiao, it seems you don't welcome me back for a visit?"

Lan Chang'an sat beside her, looking relaxed and smiling.

"Daoist Lu is back too late."

Xiao Ni Yue turned her head away, her beautiful face still flushed with the rosy hue of drunkenness, her expression filled with anger and resentment, not wanting to pay any attention to Lan Chang'an.

"I am now old and faded, and I wish to remain at the mountain gate to study the art of the zither, cultivate my character, and live a life free of desires. I fear this may not be to Daoist Lu's liking."

"Fairy Xiao, there's no need for modesty. The image of the most beautiful woman in the Cultivation World of the Liang Kingdom will forever remain in my heart, and to this day, her charm remains undiminished."

Lan Chang'an gazed at the Fairy Ni Yue, who had been gone for a hundred years, with admiration.

As a female cultivator specializing in music, Fairy Ni Yue possesses a unique method for preserving her youthful appearance, and she never runs out of elixirs for maintaining her youthful looks.

Therefore, even though Xiao Ni Yue was older than Lan Chang'an, her beauty and temperament could still outshine most of the Golden Core Realm Fairies.

Time is merciless, and perhaps one's brilliance is slightly less than that of one's prime.

But now, Fairy Xiao is more voluptuous and mature, with a curvaceous figure and smooth, fair skin that looks as if you could squeeze water out of it.

"At least you have some conscience! You haven't forgotten the promise you made when we parted, and even after becoming Nascent Soul True Lord, you still remember me and have come to visit."

Xiao Ni Yue's clear eyes were slightly red, without any affected or pretentious sentimentality.

She turned around and leaned against Lan Chang'an, her voice gentle and melodious as she spoke softly.

Fairy Ni Yue had been keeping an eye on intelligence from the Dao Defense Alliance and knew about the glorious return of True Lord Changqing.

"Lu was able to advance to the Nascent Soul thanks to the <Century Divine Dream> technique that Ni Yue used back then, which promoted his understanding of the Great Dao and must have been helpful in overcoming his Inner Demon Tribulation."

Lan Chang'an put his arm around Xiao Xianzi's waist and whispered.

This statement is slightly exaggerated, but it is intended to facilitate reminiscing and eliminating feelings of alienation and differences in status.

"My Divine Dream Kiss is nothing compared to Fairy Xia's [Lunar Jade Liquid] from the Proud Moon Palace. How can I compare to Fairy Xia's youth, beauty, and exceptional talent?"

Xiao Ni Yue gave a soft snort, expressing her dissatisfaction appropriately, but without truly blaming her.

She obediently embraced Lan Chang'an, her full figure tenderly pressed against his, her eyes brimming with affection.

"Fairy Xia is aloof and solitary; how can she compare to Ni Yue's thoughtfulness and gentleness?"

Lan Chang'an spoke the truth.

Back then, he obtained the Lunar Jade Liquid from Xia Wenyue. This woman was cold and aloof, never taking the initiative, letting him play with her at will, lacking any interactive fun.

"Saying one thing and meaning another."

Xiao Ni Yue gave a slight reproach, but in reality, she was quite confident in the charm of her music.

In terms of understanding men, attracting and seducing, and communicating with empathy, she surpasses Fairy Xia.

"It has been a hundred years since I last saw you, True Lord Lu, and I have been so worried about you that I have lost my appetite and sleep. How do you intend to make it up to me today?"

How do you want to compensate me?

Lan Chang'an chuckled, as if this scene seemed familiar.

When we parted, we owed each other nothing. So why do we both feel obligated to make amends when we meet again?

"This humble servant has never yet enjoyed the service of Nascent Soul True Lord?"

Xiao Ni Yue's face was fair and radiant, her eyes, like moonlight, shimmered and sparkled, pure and alluring without being seductive, captivating the soul.

"How dare you! Since I ascended to the Nascent True Lord Nascent Soul, have I ever been subservient to anyone?"

Lan Chang'an's tone was authoritative, and the aura of True Lord was faintly visible.

The Fairy Ni Yue was so frightened that her pretty face turned slightly pale.

She then giggled softly, her body trembling, her breasts surging.

Lan Chang'an withdrew his spiritual pressure, sighed, and understood the woman's sense of accomplishment.

The sense of accomplishment and exhilaration a male cultivator at the Golden Core Realm could experience by sharing pleasure with Nascent Soul fairy goes without saying.

This same psychology applies to women as well.

For example, an ordinary woman who is divorced and raising a child might feel a great sense of accomplishment if she wins over a domineering CEO at work.

Lan Chang'an stood up and stood in front of the jade bed. He bent down to help Fairy Ni Yue remove her shoes, revealing her turquoise silk stockings that outlined the beautiful curves of her arches.

After removing the silk stockings, Lan Chang'an held the delicate lotus feet, which were as beautiful as jade. They felt smooth and clean to the touch, and each toe was slender and crystal clear.

Lan Chang'an didn't stop moving, following the fairy's palace dress and slender calves upwards to her waist, helping Xiao Ni Yue untie her belt.

"To have Lu Lang remember me so fondly in this life, I have no regrets!"

The Fairy Ni Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she smiled with satisfaction, not actually letting Lan Chang'an serve her.

She rose slowly, knelt on the jade bed, embraced Lan Chang'an's waist and hips, and gently and considerately served him by unbuttoning his robe.

Sunset and moonrise, tides rise and fall.

The Grand Elder of the Profound Sound Pavilion's cave dwelling was bathed in moonlight, his ethereal figure shrouded in mist, with the occasional sound of beautiful zither music.

Three days later, dawn broke again.

After a century of separation, Lan Chang'an and Xiao Ni Yue reunited by candlelight, reminiscing and discussing the past, forgetting all worldly concerns.

"Young Master Lu, is the death of the Nascent Soul Old Monsters at Poison Dragon Pool related to you?"

Xiao Ni Yue changed into a green gauze dress, her face flushed, and personally prepared herbal tea for Lan Chang'an.

With a slight wrinkle on her delicate nose, she calmly beckoned, gathering the scattered stockings, shoes, palace dress, inner robe, hairpins, and ribbons, and then used Law Technique to clean the room.

"That's right, I killed Evil Shen. Only the Heavenly Master knows about this in the Fengyuan Kingdom. You must keep it a secret and not reveal my identity."

Lan Chang'an readily admitted it.

Despite having anticipated this, Xiao Ni Yue was still moved.

Upon returning to the Dao Defense Alliance, Lan Chang'an defeated and killed the physical body of True Lord Black Feather, but his Divine Ability were far more terrifying than he had imagined.

"This contains a key ingredient for Nascent Soul Formation, a Third-Order Longevity Pill, several Breakthrough Pill, two Puppet, and several Talisman."

Lan Chang'an took out a Storage Bag and placed it on the table.

Xiao Ni Yue's pretty face changed slightly; her delicate brows furrowed, and her lips pursed, but in the end, she did not refuse.

A hundred years ago, when Lan Chang'an left, he owed Profound Sound Pavilion nothing. He helped them eliminate a major threat and even asked the Heavenly Master to look after them.

She had long noticed that Lan Chang'an and the Heavenly Master had similarities in their views on romantic relationships, but there were also significant differences.

Although Lan Chang'an was irresponsible and did not give his lover a formal title, he was honest, never deceived her, and never wronged his lover.

"Ni Yue has taken Third-Order Longevity Pill. The items in this bag are precious, and for the future of the Profound Sound Pavilion, I will shamelessly accept them."

Xiao Ni Yue accepted the gift, bowing respectfully, her loose hair almost touching the ground.

"These are all useless resources."

Lan Chang'an waved his hand, speaking calmly.

After killing Old Monster Shen, his wealth increased even more, as he enjoyed the spoils all to himself.

On the day he killed True Lord Black Feather, the latter's Nascent Soul escaped, and he failed to obtain the storage item.

In the battle against the Seven True Lords in the Central Region of the Great Abyss, Lan Chang'an and Jing Wufeng basically split the spoils of war equally.

If Xiao Ni Yue weren't so old, Lan Chang'an would have considered helping her achieve Nascent Soul Formation, as it would be more suitable for her to cultivate the Yin- Yin-Yang Dual Cauldron Method.

The Evergreen Art has no follow-up Cultivation Method, resulting in low cultivation efficiency.

Although the Yin-Yang Dual Cauldron Method cannot change the shackles of time, it can improve the efficiency of cultivation, at least more so than simply accumulating Law Power.

Xiao Ni Yue was older than Lan Chang'an and missed the right time to Nascent Soul Formation soul.

This woman is neither Immortal Golden Core nor Half-Step Golden Core Nascent Soul Formation a nascent soul are slim, and the risks are extremely high.

Even if one fails at the stage of Shattering Core to Form Nascent Soul, and does not perish in the heavenly tribulation, one will still suffer a backlash, resulting in severe damage to one's vital energy and shortened lifespan.

"By the way, Ni Yue, you're in the Fengyuan Kingdom territory, how could you possibly know the secrets of the Feng Kingdom's Proud Moon Palace?"

Lan Chang'an sensed something was amiss and inquired about it directly afterward.

He took Xia Wenyue's Lunar Jade Liquid back then, Proud Moon Palace's higher-ups covered up the scandal, and only those in the know were aware of it.

Xiao Ni Yue smiled mysteriously and explained:

"Situ Lan of the Boundless Hall in the Chu Kingdom secretly visited the Fengyuan Kingdom a few years ago. He paid a high price to have me play High Antiquity zither music, hoping to use the art of music to help resolve and clear my Heart Barrier."

"Oh? Did it work?"

"With my musical skills, it might have some effect, but the final result will depend on him personally."

After saying that, Xiao Ni Yue covered her mouth and chuckled softly, saying apologetically:

"Only after the music was played did I realize that, in a sense, he was True Lord Lu's rival in love."

"It's alright!"

Lan Chang'an didn't seem to care much. "If the Dao Defense Alliance can gain another Nascent Soul, it will benefit the situation of the Demonic Path War. I, Lu, am quite magnanimous enough to do so."

"Besides, he's hardly a rival in love."

That afternoon.

Elder Xuesong, possessed by the spirit of the Heavenly Master, secretly visited Profound Sound Pavilion.

Lan Chang'an did not make a public appearance at the Profound Sound Pavilion. Instead, he spent a long time in a guest room talking with the Heavenly Master and received his due reward.

These included the rare treasure [Ghost Spider Spirit-Binding Net], a jade talisman from a master alchemist, Jade Slip map of the Two Cults Borderland, fourth-tier Spirit Bamboo, a specialty of the Great Snow Mountain, and several pieces of Snow Mountain Essence Ore.

The final reward was even higher than the agreed value.

After delivering the package.

The Heavenly Master wished to meet Fairy Qiu of the Profound Sound Pavilion, and paused for a moment in front of her cave dwelling.

I don't want to see you.

The Fairy Qiu's voice, cold and ethereal, emanated from within the cave.

Back then, she was deceived and manipulated by the Heavenly Master, whose purpose was to get in touch with and understand Mr. Xu at that time, and to control the Profound Sound Pavilion to a certain extent, influencing and infiltrating the Outer Sect Alliance.

In that relationship, the Heavenly Master appeared gentle and refined, but in reality, he was aloof and used her as a pawn in a casual, frivolous affair.

When they parted, the Heavenly Master showed no reluctance and never contacted them again.

Fairy Qiu initially had some hope, but in the end, she became completely disheartened and remained depressed for a long time.

The rejected Heavenly Master remained calm and did not press the matter.

But before leaving, the words left behind by the Heavenly Master caused Fairy Qiu's emotions to fluctuate.

The Heavenly Master actually promised to marry her as his official dao companion.

Fairy Qiu was surprised and somewhat incredulous.

Many years ago, all she asked for was the title of a concubine to the Heavenly Master, to have relative freedom in her emotions, and not to involve the interests of the Profound Sound Pavilion —all of which were unrealistic dreams.

The Heavenly Master's telepathic message promised not only that he would grant her the title of principal wife, but also that he would not make any other demands.

The entrance to the Profound Sound Pavilion, inside the pavilion.

Xiao Ni Yue, Fairy Jiang, and Fairy Qiu gathered in one room.

"Strange! When did the Heavenly Master become so easy to talk to? Normally, Golden Core Realm female cultivator becoming his dao companion would be considered a great honor."

Fairy Jiang frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

Fairy Qiu shook her head and said, "Junior Sister couldn't figure it out either, so she consulted with the two senior sisters."

Only Xiao Ni Yue's eyes flickered, vaguely guessing the Heavenly Master's intention.

"Junior Sister Qiu, don't overthink it. Something's definitely up. That person's sudden generosity must be for some scheme you don't know about."

Xiao Ni Yue didn't want to expose her, so she solemnly warned Fairy Qiu not to repeat the same mistake.

"Um."

Fairy Qiu nodded, her face serene, her slightly raised eyebrows giving her an air of aloofness and arrogance.

The Heavenly Master just sent a telepathic message, only making a promise without admitting any wrongdoing or offering an explanation, as if it were a condescending bestowal of a favor.

She has her own pride and won't fall for it a second time.

Without giving it much thought, Fairy Qiu returned to her cave.

"Senior sister, has Mr. Xu returned?"

Fairy Jiang's sharp gaze was fixed on Xiao Ni Yue, whose face remained calm and indifferent.

"Wow! Junior Sister Jiang is incredibly clever; her reactions are quick."

Xiao Ni Yue asked in surprise.

Fairy Jiang smiled faintly, "The reason why the Heavenly Master approached the Profound Sound Pavilion and became intimate with Junior Sister Qiu last time was because of Mr. Xu."

"Moreover, today I saw that Senior Sister Xiao had a rosy complexion, a full spirit, and a broad mind."

"Pah! You've been the sect leader for so many years, you think you're all grown up now? When you advance to the Late Core Formation, you'll have the right to laugh at Senior Sister."

Xiao Ni Yue blushed slightly and scolded him with a stern face.

Xiao Ni Yue instructed Fairy Jiang to keep it a secret and not to reveal Mr. Xu's whereabouts.

"Junior Sister Jiang, would you like to see Mr. Xu?"

Now that Jiang Ruotong knew, Xiao Ni Yue had an idea and decided to go with the flow.

"Didn't my senior sister stop me from contacting Mr. Xu back then?"

Jiang Ruotong's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm on the surface.

"Senior Sister only has about a hundred years left to live. You are younger, so you can give the once-in-a-lifetime <Millennium Divine Dream> to Mr. Xu. With his current level of cultivation, he can communicate with you spiritually and mentally, which will greatly benefit you and make breaking through to the Late Core Formation a piece of cake."

Fairy Jiang hesitated, "Ruo Tong isn't a casual person. Is this Senior Sister's intention, or...?"

"It's my senior's idea."

Xiao Ni Yue is no longer stopping Fairy Jiang from being intimate with Mr. Lu.

If this relationship exists, then after my death, True Lord Lu's favor will continue to protect Profound Sound Pavilion.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Jiang bit her lower lip, seemingly conflicted, but ultimately shook her head slightly.

Xiao Ni Yue sighed and did not insist.

She then took out a porcelain bottle and said:

"Here is a Breakthrough Pill for the Late Core Formation realm. Its quality is higher than those commonly found in the Great Qing Eastern Region. You can try to break through again later."

That evening, at the Grand Elder's cave dwelling.

Xiao Ni Yue mentioned the events of the day to Lan Chang'an.

Lan Chang'an smiled, surprised that the Heavenly Master was so willing to be his "brother-in-law".

Xiao Ni Yue also mentioned Jiang Ruotong, suggesting that she could give "Millennium Divine Dream" to Lan Chang'an. As long as he was willing, he could persuade Fairy Jiang.

Lan Chang'an shook his head, indicating that he was not that kind of person.

The joy of love between lovers also depends on fate and should be natural; it cannot be forced.

A few days later, Lan Chang'an and Xiao Ni Yue officially parted ways.

During this time, he met with Fairy Jiang and Fairy Qiu under the guise of Mr. Xu, and both women were put on a gag order.

Taking this opportunity, Lan Chang'an also gave guidance to the three fairies on their cultivation, which can be considered a good karmic connection.

Of the three True Core Fairies, Fairy Qiu is the youngest and has the greatest potential, but her chances of advancing to the Nascent Soul are slim in the vicinity of the Fengyuan Kingdom.

Before setting off, Lan Chang'an consulted a fortune teller and instructed Xiao Ni Yue:

"After I leave, if any younger generation comes asking about my whereabouts, you can tell them that if they have the chance, they should visit Xiaogui Small Turtle Peak in Wuqi Mountain of the Liang Kingdom; it might be helpful for their cultivation."
