Chapter 9: Physical Enhancement - Spring Aura Spreads
A hundred birds made of Spiritual Energy appeared, each one different in species and size, vividly alive and displaying unique personalities. This was Xiao Jun's mastery over Spiritual Energy, a return to simplicity that was astonishingly brilliant.
Upon seeing the hundred birds, Xi Men Yu Ying's expression improved significantly. After a moment of silence, she took out a box of rouge and gestured towards Azure Pavilion.
The members within Azure Pavilion understood immediately, pulling out various shades of rouge and sprinkling them into the air.
The rouge quickly transformed into flowing silks that cascaded towards the round platform, sorting themselves into categories or blending together before being applied to the hundred birds.
As a result, the originally white birds became vibrant with color, appearing even more lifelike.
At this moment, Shimmering Dream seemed to enter a special state, staring intently at Lian Yun, completely ignoring the surrounding birds.

As the third round began, Lian Yun moved slowly to his feet. He adjusted his clothing with graceful elegance, as if a phoenix preening its feathers. Suddenly, he extended Sword One like a phoenix spreading its wings, revealing his noble form. With a turn of his body, he danced like a phoenix in flight.
Previously, Lian Yun had resisted because he felt it was acceptable to dance with a sword in front of friends but found it difficult to do so in front of an audience.
However, at this moment, he was free of distractions and wholly focused on his sword dance.
As Lian Yun moved, the hundred birds erupted into joyous excitement. It was unclear whether it was Xiao Jun's emotions or if the birds truly possessed Spirituality. One by one, they began to hop in place before spreading their wings and dancing gracefully around Lian Yun.
The scene could only be described as breathtakingly beautiful. Even though Meng Yixuan's performance had yet to reach its peak, many powerful figures watched with great interest.
Lian Yun's sword dance continued uninterrupted while Meng Yixuan's music played on without pause, performing one rendition after another seamlessly.
The sound of Meng Yixuan drew everyone's attention, while Lian Yun's fiery red figure captivated all eyes.
Then, at a moment when no one was paying attention, inexplicably, some of the audience members found flames sprouting from their bodies. Like mushrooms after rain, more and more flames appeared.
However, the flames appeared as quickly as they disappeared, so much so that many people only realized they were on fire after noticing the person opposite them was already engulfed in flames.
Almost everyone was frantically patting out the flames on their bodies, causing chaos to erupt throughout the Azure Pavilion.
At that moment, Azure Drift suddenly waved a hand, silencing the music. Instantly, the shouts and terrified cries of some audience members were fully revealed.
Many were shouting in anger, claiming it was a conspiracy by the Azure Pavilion to take their lives.
However, Lan Ruoxuan coldly said, "Shut up, you useless fools. Don't you realize your own physical condition has changed?"
Despite Lan Ruoxuan's cold gaze and tone, there was a hint of emotion on her face. Beside her, Azure Drift was overwhelmed, covering her mouth with wide eyes, moved to tears.
Throughout the history of the Azure Pavilion, several remarkable figures had emerged. However, since their vocal arts affected the mind and spirit, their realms were primarily on a mental level—either elevating one's state of mind to achieve tranquility or enhancing Mental Power like Lan Ruoxuan did.
Yet there had never been anyone who could elevate an individual's physical constitution.
It is known that personal attributes are nearly fixed; although there are some methods for enhancement, they are limited. No one possesses a perfect constitution, not even Lian Yun or Xiao Jun.
Moreover, many people cannot elevate their realms not due to their martial arts levels but because of their physical constitution.
Thus, Meng Yixuan's Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix effect could truly be described as transformative for individuals and genuinely bore the substantial title of Phoenix Nirvana.
Once, during the time when Lan Ruoxuan was trapped, it was Meng Yixuan who supported the entire Azure Pavilion for over a decade. She was a child of misfortune, never expecting to achieve such success. As her master, Azure Drift naturally felt happy for his disciple.
"Please, Blue Pavilion Master, change the sound effects!" Elder Mei suddenly said in a deep voice. His tone carried the authority of the Peerless Monarch, causing those who had not yet quieted down to fall silent immediately.
Firstly, Elder Mei was known as a Good Guy; thus, his sudden 'anger' indicated an unforgivable sentiment. Secondly, some of the strongest individuals around began warning others not to make a sound.
However, Lan Ruoxuan remained indifferent and said, "How many people previously looked down on listening to Yixuan play? Why do they now wish to receive benefits for free?"
This could be seen as settling old scores or forcing 'consumption.'
Yet Elder Mei was still accommodating; with a wave of his hand, he tossed out five hundred Diamond Spirit Coins. This not only represented a significant expenditure but also served as recognition for Meng Yixuan.
With Elder Mei's gesture, it signified that Meng Yixuan had already established her reputation among everyone.
Following this, several Peak Monarchs and High Emperors also began throwing out Diamond Spirit Coins to express their sentiments. Several heirs from Major Powers even generously offered four or five hundred Diamond Spirit Coins.
Their intention was clear: to curry favor with Meng Yixuan or perhaps secure a better position to listen.
Thus, Lan Ruoxuan changed the sound effects and then moved the entire pavilion.
Those who paid more were moved closer to the circular platform where Meng Yixuan and Lian Yun were located, while those who contributed less were shifted to higher levels, further away from the platform. However, members of the Azure Pavilion were almost all positioned at the edge of the platform.
Although they did not need to cultivate much or reach any particular realm, their enhanced physiques allowed them to regain some vitality and appear younger.
Many expressed dissatisfaction at this arrangement but dared not voice their anger.
This time, it was Meng Yixuan's first realization of the artistic conception, and the duration could be quite long. Moreover, they had already reaped considerable benefits from a distance; now that they were closer, they should be able to gain even greater advantages.
Once their positions stabilized, many people sat up straight or crossed their legs, closing their eyes and waiting for the benefits to come.
Only a small portion could see Lian Yun, whose fiery red aura was not just the shine of her clothing but truly burned with intensity.
In addition, there was another change that initially went unnoticed but gradually became impossible to ignore.
That was Xi Men Yu Ying.
Originally, Meng Yixuan's piece "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" was created for her, and now the impact she felt was even greater than that of Lian Yun, who was closest to Meng Yixuan.
However, her transformation completely disrupted the entire Azure Pavilion.
At first, she too was surrounded by flickering flames, but her flames were a dazzling purplish-red. Although they were not large, they dissipated into clouds of mist after extinguishing.
Then, everyone who came into contact with the faint purple mist felt their bodies stir restlessly, as if compelled by an unseen force.
