Xu Yan sat in the elegant room, watching the woman playing the qin. As she played, her body swayed gracefully, and her gauzy garments fluttered with each movement, gradually diminishing.

Her expressions conveyed emotion, her eyes filled with infinite tenderness.

Between each furrow and smile, there seemed to be a seductive power, stirring people's blood, arousing desires.

"This woman is remarkable. Compared to the concubines of Qi Huang, she is leagues ahead!"

Xu Yan felt a chill in his heart.

Even his state of mind was stirred by her allure.

Hastily composing himself, he focused on the woman. Gradually, his state of mind became clear again. As long as he didn't desire it, his emotions couldn't be stirred.

His state of mind couldn't be disturbed.

"If I do not seek, then desires do not stir. Do not think about disturbing my heart!"

Xu Yan felt his state of mind improving once again. External influences became increasingly unable to disturb his state of mind, and his resolve in the way of the sword grew stronger.

"I am not far from achieving the Grandmaster level of Sword Heart Transparency. I hope to use the Unrivaled Pavilion of Qianxing Lake to hone my state of mind, making it even clearer and laying the foundation for breaking through to the Grandmaster level."

Xu Yan felt delighted.

The Unrivaled Pavilion of Qianxing Lake is indeed a good place. Not only can I enjoy the beauty, but also hone my state of mind, and most importantly, without spending money!

"Young master, are you feeling hot?"

The woman also felt puzzled. How come this young master seems completely unaffected?

With a slight smile on her red lips, her voice coquettish, she made a charming call.

With only a thin layer of gauze left on her body, her graceful figure became more enchanting, arousing an impulse to tear off that thin gauze and explore her beauty...

"This woman has a kind of seductive charm. Every movement seems to possess a tempting power. Could it be that the women of the Unrivaled Pavilion have all practiced some kind of technique to enchant the mind?

"And her voice also has a certain power to entice the mind. If a martial artist is not strong enough or lacks firm will, they will surely be unable to resist."

Xu Yan pondered. He suddenly realized that whether it was the dancers outside or the women in the elegant room, they all possessed a special seductive charm.

"The Unrivaled Pavilion is indeed a great place. This is just the Qianxing Lake, a relatively low-level pleasure boat. If the boat is of higher level, and the women are stronger, wouldn't their seductive arts be even stronger?

"Honing my state of mind with seductive arts is truly a good method!"

Xu Yan became excited.

"If I can visit every part of the Unrivaled Pavilion, even the rumored Master-level courtesans with their seductive arts won't be able to disturb my state of mind. What else in this world can disturb me?

"Once I achieve the Grandmaster level of Sword Heart Transparency, everything will fall into place."

With this thought, Xu Yan couldn't sit still.

He must go to the deeper parts of Qianxing Lake, to the more luxurious and larger pleasure boats.

He went in without spending a single spirit crystal. The servants of the Unrivaled Pavilion were stunned. What's more, he even asked if he could try the elegance of the elegant room's girls and only pay if satisfied!

What kind of talk was this!

However, the steward of the pleasure boat was confident in the girls of the elegant room and was not afraid that the customer wouldn't pay after enjoying. So he agreed directly.

As a result, after he entered, not long after, he came out, saying: "It's quite ordinary, nothing special!"

This incident slowly spread. Many martial artists began to reflect on themselves. Was it a mistake to pay first and enjoy later?

Therefore, some martial artists followed suit. After entering the pleasure boat, they didn't even order tea or snacks, but requested to try the elegance of the girls in the elegant room first, and only pay if satisfied!

On the clear lake, purple plants grew in the water, blooming pink flowers. Among the sea of flowers stood a tall building.

Xu Yan arrived.

After half a month at Qianxing Lake, his state of mind had become even clearer. Vaguely, he felt that he was about to touch the realm of Grandmaster in Sword Heart Transparency.

"This is the Purple Flower Tower, one of the top ten pleasure buildings of the Unrivaled Pavilion. Even if there are no Master-level courtesans here, there are First-rank Martial Artists courtesans. Their seductive arts must be even stronger!"

Xu Yan walked on the water towards the Purple Flower Tower.

Martial artists who could come here either had a good background or strength equivalent to a First-rank.

Upon arriving at the Purple Flower Tower, Xu Yan was about to enter. The servant at the door greeted him with a smile, "Young master, the entrance fee is one hundred spirit crystals!"

Xu Yan frowned, "I have never heard that the Unrivaled Pavilion requires an entrance fee. What does this mean?"

The servant still wore a smile on his face, but inwardly, he muttered, all because of certain individuals corrupting the atmosphere, causing some martial artists to become shameless.

"Come in, watch the dance, listen to the song, admire the beauties, and then leave without spending a single spirit crystal. And now, those martial artists who used to feel embarrassed to come to the Unparalleled Pavilion without money are now rushing over to freeload, gathering friends to accompany them. It's simply outrageous!"

The Unparalleled Pavilion had no choice but to change its rules with a grim face.

"The young master may not know, but the entrance fee was only announced yesterday," the servant said with a smile.

Xu Yan took out a spirit ticket, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. This was worth a hundred spirit crystals! How much had he earned by painstakingly defeating a Grandmaster? It really hurt to spend a hundred spirit crystals just to enter.

A hundred spirit crystals could buy a Qingyuan Fruit.

After a moment's thought, he took back the spirit ticket. The servant who was about to take the ticket back froze for a moment, looking at Xu Yan suspiciously. Could this person be the one who corrupted the atmosphere?

Xu Yan said seriously, "I am Xie Lingfeng, here at the Unparalleled Pavilion to temper my mind. Could you make an exception?"

"Xie Lingfeng?" The servant was startled and then shocked. The most monstrous sword genius of the Sword Sovereign Cliff in a thousand years? One of the three youngest Grandmasters in the Inner Domain? He even recently repelled the semi-Grandmaster Yin Hong, his strength being praised as the best under the Grandmaster level!

The treatment of a genius like him was far beyond ordinary martial artists, especially geniuses from major forces. So when the servant heard this, his face immediately filled with smiles, and he respectfully said, "So it's Young Master Xie, please come in!"

Xu Yan was delighted in his heart. "Xie's reputation is really useful. No wonder Xie instructed me to come to the Inner Domain. I can use his name whenever I encounter any trouble."

"Brother Xie is really straightforward. Next time I see him, I'll ask for some advice on his swordsmanship."

Saving a hundred spirit crystals and being able to temper his mind for free again, Xu Yan was in a great mood as he entered the Purple Flower Building.

Not long after, a piece of news spread in the Thousand Star Lake.

The Sword Sovereign Cliff genius Xie Lingfeng, designated the headliner of the Purple Flower Building, would not spend a single cent at the Purple Flower Building! All martial artists were shocked.

"So it's Xie Lingfeng. No wonder he can receive such treatment. He's the first genius of the Sword Sovereign Cliff in a thousand years and is even said to be the number one under the Grandmaster level."

"No wonder Miss Ming from the Purple Flower Building is willing to let him into her private room."

"Miss Ming, I caught a glimpse of her from afar. I was so excited at the time. I felt empty for several days after returning. Xie Lingfeng not being moved is really something."

For a while, Xie Lingfeng's arrival at the Unparalleled Pavilion became a hot topic.

However, not long after, another piece of news spread: Xie Lingfeng left Miss Ming's private room in less than half an hour. Regardless of how Miss Ming tempted him, she couldn't shake Xie Lingfeng's heart.

The Unparalleled Pavilion didn't take a penny.

In the center of Thousand Star Lake, a tall building stood, magnificent and bustling with activity, surrounded by beautiful women except for male customers, including servants and stewards.

This tall building was the Unparalleled Pavilion!

Xu Yan came, using the name of Xie Lingfeng.

After leaving the Purple Flower Building, he thought of a way. He claimed that he came to temper his mind and promised to help anyone who could move his state of mind once. The Unparalleled Pavilion attached great importance to it. Xie Lingfeng's assistance meant that they could get the Sword Sovereign Cliff's assistance. In the future, when Xie Lingfeng took over as the Sword Sovereign Cliff's master, this assistance would be even more precious.

Enough to deter countless strong individuals!

The Sword Sovereign Cliff was known as the number one sword sect in the Inner Domain.

Therefore, in the remaining itinerary, the Unparalleled Pavilion dispatched top courtesans to entertain Xu Yan, even several courtesans together.

Every courtesan, the weakest among them, was at the Grandmaster level.

In the end, all ten top courtesans moved together, stirring Xu Yan's mind for quite some time, and his state of mind improved once again.

Now, he arrived at this tall building, the real Unparalleled Pavilion!

It was rumored that there were Grandmaster-level courtesans inside.

"How will the allure techniques of Grandmaster courtesans work? Can they disturb my state of mind?"

Xu Yan wondered.

"My 'Heart Without Women' state of mind has become more profound. If the enemy tries to confuse me with beauty, it will be in vain. If even the most primitive desire cannot disturb my heart, what else can?"

"My sword heart is nearing perfection!"

Excited, Xu Yan strode towards the Unparalleled Pavilion.

"Xie Lingfeng is here!"

On top of the tall building, martial artists who had already heard the news hurried over.

Among them were Grandmaster martial artists.

"Young Master Xie, please come up for a chat. I'll personally entertain you!"

A soft and gentle voice came down from the tall building.

For martial artists with lower strength, hearing this voice made them momentarily dazed, as if they could see a peerless beauty waiting for them.

"Hiss!"

The martial artists who came back to their senses were shocked. Was this the rumored Grandmaster courtesan of the Unparalleled Pavilion? Just one voice almost plunged them into illusions.

The Grandmaster martial artists present were all solemn. What kind of technique did this courtesan practice? Her allure was terrifying!

Xu Yan's eyes lit up, and he became excited.

"What kind of allure technique is this? Just one voice seems to have a similar effect to the Thousand Illusions Sound, and her voice can stimulate the most primal impulses in people."

Thinking like this, Xu Yan soared into the air and went straight to the tall building.

He didn't dare to be careless.

The woman who spoke was extraordinary, and he had to be careful not to fall into her trap!

At the top of the Unparalleled Pavilion, it resembled a courtyard with flowers, grass, and flowing water. Xu Yan arrived and stepped into the courtyard.

Fragrance filled the air, invigorating the spirit.

"This fragrance has the effect of arousing emotions."

Xu Yan's mind focused.

"I've heard of Young Master Xie's fame as a genius. Today, seeing you in person, even my frozen heart couldn't help but be moved."

In the courtyard, by the water pool, sat a veiled woman.

Her slender feet lightly kicked the water in the pool, her eyes bright and clear, her gaze soft as she looked over.

She wore a white dress like snow, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall. Every move
