Stepping into the Spiritual Moon High Sect, the scenery inside was breathtaking.
White Jade tiles paved the ground, intricate carvings adorned the ceiling beams, and in the passing courtyards, lush green trees and vibrant flowers flourished.
By the spiritual spring, young maidens laughed and playfully washed their feet.
In the palace corridors, beautiful female cultivators in short qipaos walked by, the high slits revealing their smooth thighs, making Mu Yanxi unsure of where to rest her gaze.
As they passed, each one respectfully bowed to Fang Cangming, or offered a gentle smile to the newcomers.
That smile was so enchanting, it was hard not to get lost in it.
Mu Yanxi, however, was able to resist—thanks to the recent growth of her Dao heart from cultivating a new technique, and the calmness she retained from once being a Nascent Soul cultivator.
She quickly snapped out of the daze induced by those smiles.
But the girl walking with them, the one dressed in men’s clothing, didn’t recover so easily.
Her steps grew slower and slower, her gaze fixed to the faces of those female cultivators, unable to look away.
Even some parents accompanying their daughters couldn’t ignore the charm in those smiles.
Only those with higher cultivation could resist the allure and calmly lead their daughters further inside, making those female cultivators cover their mouths and laugh even more delightedly.
Not just her—the other three girls with them were also affected by those friendly smiles, turning their attention to the surrounding female cultivators, unable to look away.
Ironically, Mu Yanxi was coping the best out of all of them.
“Junior sisters, stop teasing,” Fang Cangming said with a frown, her voice carrying a trace of spiritual fluctuation.
In an instant, the four girls’ minds cleared, and the one dressed as a boy immediately blushed and squeezed her legs together, looking utterly embarrassed.
“Yes, Senior Sister Fang.”
The surrounding girls quickly lowered their heads and replied, putting away their smiles.
The alluring aura that made them so captivating diminished significantly.
Charm Arts—it was an extremely powerful Charm Arts.
Mu Yanxi had noticed it as soon as she entered; in fact, she’d even vaguely sensed it in the plaza earlier.
Nearly all these female disciples had cultivated Charm Arts.
What’s more, this advanced Charm Arts wasn’t something they consciously unleashed to charm others.
It was a passive, ever-present effect, making these cultivators seem even more beautiful and irresistible, causing people to instinctively want to approach them—not wary, but instead, feeling a greater fondness.
They hadn’t been deliberately seducing the new students just now.
They hadn’t even actively released their Charm Arts.
Just by not suppressing it, they had already made everyone unable to look away.
In her past life, Mu Yanxi had never set foot in those dual cultivation demonic sects.
She had only met female cultivators who practiced Charm Arts, but none of their allure could compare to the overwhelming charm of these cultivators in Spiritual Moon High Sect.
Perhaps it was because everyone here cultivated Charm Arts, that the entire atmosphere of Spiritual Moon High Sect was so enchanting.
Multiple female cultivators’ passive Charm Arts overlapped, slowly eroding one’s Dao heart; without enough cultivation, anyone who stayed too long would eventually succumb.
“Honestly, these little girls. They were taken in by this when they first entered too, and now on opening day, they’re out to ‘get back’ at the newcomers, disgracing the sect,” Fang Cangming shook her head.
“You don’t need to worry. Once you begin cultivating the arts of Spiritual Moon Palace, you’ll be immune to Charm Arts. Stay close to me.”
Just immune?
Mu Yanxi was quite sure that after cultivating Spiritual Moon Palace’s arts, one wouldn’t just become immune to Charm Arts—they would naturally exude it themselves, so of course they’d be immune.
In a way, this could be considered the first true test of entry, giving Mu Yanxi a fresh perspective.
So this is what a female sect is like.
Going deeper into the palace, Mu Yanxi noticed a faint, exotic fragrance in the air.
Just smelling it seemed to invigorate her spirit, as if even her magical energy was circulating more swiftly.
