Yuan emerged from the bathtub after absorbing all of the medicine, which helped him breakthrough to the next level of Spirit Grandmaster.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang said to him when she noticed him coming out of the bathroom.

"It's all thanks to your treasures." Yuan smiled.

And he continued, "I don't really know how to repay you."

"You don't have to repay me, Young Master. I am your servant, thus everything that belongs to me also belongs to you."

"I am not that shameless to accept free things without returning a favor. Furthermore, it's all precious treasures that would definitely cost a fortune if you were to sell them. I cannot accept that much for free."

"However, the only thing I can really give you right now is my blood." Yuan sighed.

"Speaking of my blood… I haven't given you any of my blood for some time now. Do you want to drink some right now?" Yuan then asked her after realizing this.

Feng Yuxiang shook her head with a bittersweet smile.

"Is there something wrong? You are normally very excited for my blood." Yuan asked her.

"There's nothing wrong, Young Master. It's just that… I am afraid that you might cure my curse too quickly, forcing me to return to the upper heavens," she finally decided to reveal her reason for her hesitation.

"Isn't that what you wanted? To cure the curse as soon as possible?" Yuan raised his eyebrows in a confused manner.

"Indeed, that's what I wanted at first, but after spending some time with you, I realized that I wanted to stay by your side for a little longer. If I consume your blood and the curse breaks, my cultivation will no longer be suppressed, so I will have to return to the upper heavens, and I don't want that to happen."

Yuan remained silent for a moment before speaking, "If that's your choice, I will support it. Of course, if you ever change your mind or want to drink my blood, just let me know."

"I will. Thank you, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang nodded with a gentle smile.

"Anyways, I will be back later," Yuan said before logging off for breakfast.

During breakfast, Yuan asked Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang, "What do you two usually do now?"

"I spend most of my time cultivating," Meixiu said.

"I spend all of my time staring at your face." Chu Liuxiang responded with a calm face.

"..."

Although he wanted to say something about Chu Liuxiang's response, he didn't know what to say, as he was baffled speechless by her response.

Chu Liuxiang chuckled at his reaction and said, "I am joking, Brother Yuan. I only spend a few hours staring at your face. As for the other hours, I either cultivate or surf the internet for a headquarter for our faction."

"A few hours still sounds like a lot…" Yuan shook his head.

After breakfast, Yuan returned to his room and entered Cultivation Online.

Song Ling'er showed up to his living quarters shortly after, and Ai Wan was there with her.

"Yuan! I'm so glad that you're okay!" Ai Wan could finally feel relief after seeing his face.

Even though Song Ling'er had told her about Yuan's return yesterday, she still felt anxious for some reason. However, that feeling completely disappeared the moment she saw Yuan's face.

"I'm sorry for making you worried," Yuan said to her.

"No, I should be apologizing to you. If I didn't bring you there…"

"It's fine. It was a unique experience, so I don't mind it."

He then turned to look at Song Ling'er and asked her, "I forgot to ask you this yesterday, but what's going to happen to the Zither Goddess' immortal cave?"

"I have sealed it back up since there's nothing besides the teleport formation inside, and I don't want another person to fall victim and accidentally teleport to the Fifth Heaven. Although you were lucky enough to return with the Dragon Marble, I doubt the others will be as lucky."

"I understand. Thank you." Yuan said to her.

"Anyways, are you ready for the performance? The disciples will be gathered two hours from now." Song Ling'er asked him.

"Two hours, huh? I will use this time to warm up."

Thus, Yuan proceeded to spend the next two hours playing random songs on the zither to warm his fingers up even though it was unnecessary for someone at his level to do such a thing.

Once it was time for the performance, Yuan followed Song Ling'er outside the sect until they arrived at this spacious area that was a couple of miles behind the Heavenly Melody Academy.

"Wow, there's a lot of people here…" Lan Yingying mumbled to herself as they flew over tens of thousands of disciples from the Heavenly Melody Academy.

The disciples on the ground also noticed them.

"Look! It's the Sect Master!"

"Who are those following behind her?! I have never seen so many Spirit Grandmasters together at once until today!"

"I wonder what this gathering is about…"

A few moments later, Song Ling'er brought Yuan to this tall platform in the center of the sea of disciples.

She then turned to look at the disciples before announcing in a loud and clear voice, "I have gathered all of you here today to witness a zither performance performed by Daoist Yuan, who is a musical genius."

"What? The Sect Master gathered us for a mere zither performance?"

"The Sect Master wouldn't gather us for something ordinary."

"Hey! I recognize that man standing behind her! That's the person who played 'God Descends from Heaven' flawlessly at the Music Pagoda!"

"What? He's that rumored mysterious genius that everyone has been talking about lately?"

"Does this mean he'll be performing for us? Hell yeah! I have been dreaming of this moment since I witnessed his performance at the Music Pagoda!"

The atmosphere there quickly became rowdy.

"Whenever you're ready, Yuan." Song Ling'er said to him.

"What song should I play?" He asked.

"It doesn't matter. After all, whatever you play will turn out to be flawless," she smiled.
