Bathed in a soft, pearlescent glow, three peerlessly beautiful young women with graceful figures and fiery allure stood charmingly before him.

Of course, they were still wearing their inner bodices, so not everything was on full display.

The three young women were, after all, inexperienced virgins. Shyness and apprehension were unavoidable; it was impossible for them to be so uninhibited from the very beginning.

Moreover, this was only because Tang Qiu Yao had spoken with them in private beforehand and permitted them to do so.

But even so, for Ling Changqing, the sight was more than tantalizing enough.

As a healthy, normal man, it was hard to prevent his imagination from running wild.

Closing his eyes for a moment and taking a deep breath, Ling Changqing opened them again to look at the girls, saying gently,

"Yes, you look truly beautiful."

Li Hanyou's lovely eyes narrowed slightly as she lightly bit her red lip. "Then in the future… can we dress like this for you every day?"

Ling Changqing nodded. "Of course you can. Just don't let anyone else see."

"Then it's a deal!"

The three young women exchanged a smile and replied in sweet, charming voices.

For them, being able to close the distance with Ling Changqing and earn more of his attention and care was the most ideal outcome.

After a moment's thought, Ling Changqing took out three bottles of Qi Nourishing and Essence Storing Pills from his Storage Pouch and handed them over as a reward.

"By the way, Li Hanyou, you haven't started your Qi Cultivation yet. You should save this Elixir and take it later; there's no rush."

Ling Changqing added a word of caution. This Elixir had to be taken in conjunction with a Qi Cultivation Spell to be refined and absorbed—something an ordinary person couldn't do.

"Yes, Master,"

Li Hanyou's voice was soft and seductive. "I have no foundation at all. If you have time, Master, could you perhaps give me a few private lessons?"

'If I'm alone with Master, I won't have to wear an inner bodice. I'm sure he'd be even more pleased with that.'

Ling Changqing considered this for a moment. "I can't make any promises. We'll have to see."

The main issue was the sheer number of girls like her, with no foundation in Qi Cultivation whatsoever. If he had to give private lessons to every single one, he'd be completely overwhelmed.

Besides, Ling Changqing had his own Cultivation to attend to, not to mention spending time with Ling Qiyue and the other women. He was also in charge of the family's most promising young Male Cultivators, and he couldn't just neglect them.

"Okay, we'll leave the arrangements to you, Master!"

Xiao Meiniang said softly. She understood that Ling Changqing didn't have it easy; after all, he was responsible for so many students.

'In any case, after today, the three of us will hold a different place in his heart compared to the other female disciples. That's enough.'

...

Xianyin Pavilion.

Compared to its previous incarnations on Zenxin Island and Longhuan Island, the Xianyin Pavilion now located in the Changqing Continent Marketplace was built on a much grander scale, resembling a magnificent, opulent palace.

The establishment was most famous for its Female Cultivator Musicians. Not only were they exceptionally beautiful and graceful, but they were also masters of music and possessed a wide array of talents.

By now, Tang Qiu Yao was aware that the Xianyin Pavilion was one of the three great Hidden Sects of Yuzhou. Its underlying power and influence were in no way inferior to Yuzhou's Nine Great Cultivation Families.

The musical arts were also counted among the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, albeit as a relatively obscure discipline.

The fact that Xianyin Pavilion could rise to become a top power in Yuzhou with music as its foundation was a testament to its extraordinary heritage and legacy.

It was rumored that the founding ancestor of Xianyin Pavilion hailed from an even more powerful and mysterious lineage from ancient times. This founder was said to possess many unique copies of long-lost primordial musical Scriptures, as well as several Heavy Artifacts of astonishing destructive power, which allowed them to establish the sect's current standing.

A skilled Musician could cleanse a Cultivator's spirit, soothe their mind, shatter Heart Demons, and steady their Dao Heart. They possessed the incredible power to turn the decayed into the miraculous.

When it came to combat, the greatest master Musicians could move mountains, fill seas, pluck stars from the sky, and reshape heaven and earth, wielding all manner of unbelievable power.

At this moment, inside a quiet and luxurious VIP room on the third floor.

"...Senior Sister Meng, it's been a long time."

Dressed in an intricate and beautiful sky-blue gown that seemed to flow like light, her hair swept up in an elegant coiffure and pinned with a phoenix hairpin, the dignified yet alluring Tang Qiu Yao sat perfectly poised, speaking with a radiant smile.

"It has been a long time. Junior Sister, your Cultivation has advanced so swiftly. To think you've already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment... I must admit, I'm quite surprised."

The enchanting woman, dressed in a scarlet gown with her face obscured by a light veil, sat in the seat of honor. Her beautiful eyes, deep as tranquil pools, scanned the magnificently graceful beauty before her.

Tang Qiu Yao laughed. "Aren't you the same, Senior Sister? You've also broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. I imagine reaching the True Pill Cultivator realm will be no problem for you."

"That's hard to say. If my luck is poor, I might only manage to become a Pseudo Core master."

Meng Feiyu sighed softly.

When she had been stationed on Hanyue Continent, she had become acquainted with the master-servant pair of Ling Qiyue and Tang Qiu Yao. In a way, she had watched them rise through the ranks.

Logically, Tang Qiu Yao's aptitude and fortune had never been particularly outstanding. Ling Qiyue's was better, but still within the realm of what she could comprehend.

But who could have predicted that in the following years, Tang Qiu Yao's Cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds? She had gone from the Qi Cultivation Stage to her current late stage of Foundation Establishment in what felt like no time at all.

As for Ling Qiyue, rumor had it she'd had some sort of special fortuitous encounter and had now actually reached the Golden Core Master Realm. Meng Feiyu couldn't help but feel a bitter pang of envy.

"By the way, what about Senior Sister Ling's successor, Ling Changqing? I haven't seen him in ages. Didn't he come with you this time?"

Meng Feiyu asked, feigning nonchalance.

"He's gone traveling to gain experience," Tang Qiu Yao said lightly. "I estimate he won't be back for another eight or ten years."
