Crossing his legs in the lotus position, Xie Qing moved to a vacant room and began meditation. His mind was exploding with pleasure, reacting like his bloodline to this scroll too excitedly, as if a virgin entering a brothel for the first time.
Not wanting to endure the discomfort any longer, Xie Qing focused his mind on learning the cultivation technique. This time, it took him ten seconds to grasp the technique.
Ding!
[Attempt to learn cultivation technique... success!]
In a few seconds, Xie Qing entered a state of enlightenment. He had prepared for this day for a long time, yet he was still nervous as he was about to confront his Demon of the Heart. He frowned.
"I'm a bit anxious about this... but as a cultivator, I must not shy away from dangers on my path!" he thought with a determined tone and then immersed himself in cultivation.
He entered his mental world, limited only by a door in front of him. The door looked as if it were printed on paper, so placing his hand on it, Xie Qing easily broke through it and passed through the "door."
The space around him sparkled, and Xie Qing felt his Qi reaching a new level. A pleasant feeling of coolness enveloped him as if he had tasted ice cream on a hot day.
Initially, the Qi resembled a quiet stream slowly flowing into the sea, but very soon it turned into a raging waterfall!
"Ugh..."
The Nine Golden Dragons cultivation technique was not as ordinary as what he had practiced before. With this technique, his efficiency increased tenfold or even a hundredfold! Xie Qing could barely withstand the pressure on his mind.
Spiritual energy was like a furious stream flowing into his Dantian, which struggled to purify it and transform it into pure Qi.
With the help of his new cultivation technique, Xie Qing barely coped with the task, gradually breaking through to a new stage of cultivation. And after ten minutes...
Boom!
His spiritual energy burst out of his body and began to envelop him, forming a small dome! His body absorbed this spiritual energy, rapidly strengthening.
"Aaaa!"
Xie Qing gritted his teeth and furrowed his brow, feeling the unpleasant itching all over his body and his brain exploding with intense pain as if struck with a hammer right on his head! Although this feeling was uncomfortable, Xie Qing also felt himself getting stronger.
"After years of effort... after an endless amount of suffering, I have achieved what I sought! Power!"
The youth smiled brightly and opened his eyes, but then froze in shock.
"M-Master?" Xie Qing's voice trembled slightly.
If it were just Xu Mei, his reaction wouldn't have been so exaggerated, but... but!
"W-why are you undressing, Master?!"
***
Xu Mei locked herself in her room after the unfortunate incident with the "perfume." She felt ashamed – with each passing day, she believed her reputation was being destroyed by her foolish disciple!
"Hate... hate... shameful! How embarrassed I am!" Xu Mei exclaimed loudly into her pillow, lying on her stomach. Her legs kicked against the mattress, and she looked like an offended girl who caught her boyfriend cheating and was now crying into her pillow.
Recalling those awkward moments with Xie Qing, Xu Mei couldn't help but blush. Every day, her disciple became more and more absurd, even allowing himself to hug her! Without permission!
"But... this is a bit strange. Lately, he has become much more confident, and his gaze towards me has been somewhat unusual. Is it related to his awakened talent?" she pondered aloud, then clenched her teeth. "Damn! Does he think his master will fall for a pretty face and talent?... Of course not... um, no..."
Xu Mei shook her head in shame and buried her face deeper into the pillow, feeling guilty for such thoughts.
Since the first day she took Xie Qing as her disciple, she had some impure thoughts. She simply liked the handsome face of the young man, and she thought it wouldn't hurt to have some fun for a while. Initially, he fulfilled duties like cleaning her clothes and cooking, and then they progressed to massages.
"Well, I admit, sometimes it excited me, b-but... I didn't think of him in that way! Of course not!... probably."
Xu Mei bit her lower lip, recalling the brief yet desire-filled gaze Xie Qing gave her during the first session of massage. At that time, he was only fourteen, so she ignored such a reaction, understanding that he was seeing such a luxurious body of a woman up close for the first time and even touching it.
She had a little secret... she enjoyed watching his facial expressions when he massaged her, and it brought her pleasure. Especially, her body trembled every time, releasing juices, when she saw his gaze, full of thirst.
In one of the sessions, he even got aroused, and that night Xu Mei was so excited that even after two hours of "play" with herself, she couldn't rid herself of her arousal.
Finally, a brief silence ensued. Xu Mei stopped kicking her legs against the mattress and deep in thought.
"I am over two thousand years old. By cultivator standards, I am still a young woman, full of vitality, but all my peers, except for those two old ladies, have lovers. Even my disciple, the current sect leader of the Sect of Heavenly Sword, has someone, though she still refuses to introduce me to him," Xu Mei thought and frowned. "Hey, am I a failure then? Even that cursed Feng Gu, a dumb pig thinking only with his muscles, has been married for a long time, and he even has six sons... this..."
Xu Mei lost her speech. Disregarding her two acquaintances who simply had no interest in men and relationships in general, focusing on their sect, she – Xu Mei, was different!
Even in the generation of geniuses, she was the greatest genius! Her cultivation level was at the pinnacle of the world, and the only one who could rival her was the ruler of the Huanglun Dynasty.
"Damn! How frustrating!" she thought, furrowing her brow, and then remembered her disciple. "Right! Lian Lin must know some tricks; I'll consult with her!"
Xu Mei quickly got up and flew out of the window.

Meanwhile, Xie Qing found himself in a complicated situation. It seemed that everything happening before him was a test of his Demon of Heart, which chose an extremely frightening ordeal.
"Foolish disciple... let Master teach you about love," Xu Mei said in a tender voice, untying her hanfu, letting it fall to the floor, allowing him to fall to the ground, and then sensually licked her lips, slowly approaching Xie Qing, who was tied to the bed.
With each passing second, their lips drew closer and closer until they met in a kiss. Initially, Xie Qing's mind went blank for a moment, and then he raised an eyebrow in bewilderment.
He looked at his Demon of Heart and asked,
"What the hell, I don't feel anything?"
The Demon of Heart remained speechless.
"Dude, do you think I know how to kiss? I'm a damn simulation!"
