Yue Ji, Ying Ge, and Hong Xiu exchanged smiles and gracefully took their seats. Yue Ji gently caressed the ancient zither on her lap, her slender fingers moving slightly, releasing a stream of music like a clear spring. Instantly, the room fell silent, leaving only the notes dancing in the air.

The piece was called "High Mountains and Flowing Water Meet a Kindred Spirit." The zither's melody was at times passionate and powerful, like a thousand horses galloping, clashing swords and armor; at other times, it was gentle and lingering, like a fine rain nourishing the earth, a spring breeze brushing the willows. Ying Ge's flute blended in seamlessly, its sound ethereal and clear, complementing the zither and adding a touch of celestial charm.

At first, Ouyang Weiwei and Ye Lingxuan appeared slightly reserved, but as the music began, they became entranced, their expressions gradually relaxing, faces showing signs of intoxication.

Mu Xiaochuan sipped the "Drunken Immortal Brew" in his cup, feeling the wondrous Dao rhythm contained within the sound waves. He felt his spirit clear and his mind serene, as if the usual stagnation in his cultivation quietly dissolved in the music. The "Spirit Sound" of the Heavenly Melody Pavilion was indeed more than just pleasant to the ear; it resonated with a cultivator's Dao heart, cleansing worldly thoughts, and even slightly benefiting one's cultivation base.
