The slender fingers gently stroked the earth-colored strings.

"Buzz~"

An extremely low humming sound then arose!

Unlike anyone's previous playing, this time when the earth-colored strings were vibrated, the thick and low sound waves spread very far.

At the same time, a strong sense of vibration also flows along the point where the strings touch the fingertips and feeds back into the body.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy in his body seemed to be washed away by an endless tide, but his realm was extremely stable, and no matter how violent the turbulence was, he would not be harmed at all.

"This is?"

There was a hint of surprise in Gu Dan's eyes.

As this recoil force spread throughout the body, it seemed to have life. It moved along the meridians and finally reached the sea of ​​​​qi. Like a dragon dividing the river and breaking the sea, it created some ripples in the sea of ​​​​qi in Gu Dan's body.

If his spiritual energy was not pure enough, or was too complicated, he would probably not be able to play it at this moment. However, although his understanding of the profound knowledge of the immortal way was not deep, his own insights were extraordinary.

Since this force dared to enter his body, he could naturally control it. It was not difficult to analyze that this shock force was not so much a test as it was able to help the person playing the instrument purify and separate the mixed spiritual power in his body!

It can only be said that this treasure is worthy of being taken out by the Saintess of the Hehuan Sect. It is not just a test, but also an opportunity for ordinary cultivators! No wonder some people, knowing that they are not strong enough, still queue up here. Even if they know that they will be ridiculed for only plucking one string, they don't want to miss this opportunity.

Gu Dan was slightly surprised, but the onlookers were even more surprised.

There were at least eight hundred people who came to try the test, but no one had ever made such a loud sound when playing the strings.

If other people's playing is like throwing a small stone into the lake, you can only barely hear a little sound, but when Gu Dan plays, the sound of the piano is like a mountain pressing down, and the lake surface is also full of shocking waves! This is the true meaning of hearing the sound of the strings, and the realm is so different! There is not much time for them to think, because Gu Dan's fingers have already played the next black string without hesitation.

“Ding~”

This time, it was a sound like large and small pearls falling on a jade plate, crisp, pleasant, and extremely soft, as if water waves gently passed by the ears.

At the same time, another recoil force came along the strings.

Gentle, kind, and extremely considerate, it was like soaking your whole body in a hot spring. There was no harm at all, but it was quite comfortable.

"In the flesh?"

Gu Dan has already understood.

This black string should represent water, and what is being tested is the body.

It's just that he possesses the body of the Great Dao, which is truly flawless. If the spiritual energy can still have any reaction to this zither, then the body of the Great Dao would ask what you are.

What's more, he also possesses acquired blood energy. No matter which one it is, it is nothing that the mere recoil force can do anything to him. In the end, the test failed and it was all enjoyment.

It is truly a level that cannot be advanced any further.

Without any hesitation, Gu Dan continued to play the next golden string.

"Dang~"

It was like the ringing of a bell. When the string of a zither sounded, a murderous aura came over you!

The sound is extremely fast, intense and fierce, like a sword being unsheathed, the sword covered with frost, with a hint of war and iron cavalry.

'Gold, spirit.'

When the recoil force was heading towards his brain, Gu Dan had already reacted.

Aura, body, and soul.

The three strings represent the three aspects of a monk.

However, when this recoil force reached his own sea of ​​consciousness, it immediately disappeared without a trace, like a drop in the ocean.

Are you kidding? Gu Dan's soul has gone through more than two hundred years, and he has never slacked off in his practice of the White Lotus Visualization Diagram. He has also been nourished by more than half of the White Lotus Dao Fruit. It is no exaggeration to say that his Dao body, which has not yet fully grown up, may not be worthy of his soul!

Thinking of testing his spirit and soul is just wishful thinking.

It was not until this time that the onlookers finally reacted.

"Who is this man? Why does he look so unfamiliar? Why is the sound so strong when he plucks the strings?"

"You've been looking at it for so long and still don't understand? It must be because of his extraordinary strength. This is a treasure left by the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect. It will naturally react according to the person using it. If you don't have the ability, the magic weapon won't bother to pay attention to you."

"Is this the first time that this magic weapon has made such a loud sound? It seems that this person is the hidden core of a certain sect, or even a true disciple. He must take advantage of the opportunity of the source heaven realm to show himself in front of the world and become famous in one fell swoop."

The voices of discussion from all sides finally caught up with Gu Dan's actions. It can only be said that the cultivators' reactions were still very quick.

But Gu Dan did not leave them any time to discuss, and his fingers were already plucking the next red string without stopping.

"Hiss~"

This time, a sound like tongues of fire spurted out, and a burning sensation came from his hand. After it echoed around Gu Dan's body, nothing happened.

"Um?"

Gu Dan was slightly startled. What was this test about? "No cheating, real stuff!"

"He is indeed a true child of destiny, all thanks to his own strength."

"Amazing! He's really capable, but I wonder how he compares to the geniuses from the nine great immortal sects?"

Fortunately, the discussions of the onlookers nearby gave Gu Dan the answer.

This string can see through the magic weapon.

To put it bluntly, it is to prevent people from cheating and secretly taking action.

'That's quite thoughtful.'

Gu Dan couldn't help but chuckle.

I have long known that the methods used in the world of immortal cultivation are extraordinary. Who knows what strange abilities may emerge, and naturally there are corresponding countermeasures, no matter who is more skilled.

If the magic weapon can be hidden from the ancient zither in front of it, its origin must be very extraordinary and it naturally has the qualifications to participate. The Saint of the Hehuan Sect is indeed a wonderful person.

Of the five strings, four are gone.

The only thing missing is the last green string.

Without any delay, Gu Dan's slender fingers just touched lightly, and he didn't even use any strength, a little vitality circled around his body, and a pleasant sound rang out naturally.

Loud, clear, broad and profound.

“Still very young!”

"Incredible, incredible. To be able to elicit such a reaction from the Five-Stringed Phoenix Harp, I'm afraid that this person in front of me is absolutely the best choice in terms of both talent and age!"

"This person does look very unfamiliar. I have never seen him before. Even his attire is unfamiliar. I may not be a know-it-all in the world of immortal cultivation, but at least I know a lot about the major immortal sects. This person in front of me is most likely a genius from a hidden sect!"

There was no need to guess anything, the voices of the onlookers around had already told Gu Dan the answer.

The last string represents the wood, and the thing being tested is actually its age.

At the same time, after Gu Dan had played all five strings of the five-stringed phoenix harp, in a boudoir, Luo Qingyin, the holy maiden of the Hehuan Sect, who was hidden in holy light, raised her head slightly.

"Which true disciple of the Nine Immortal Sects was so bored that he had to give it a try to make the Five-Stringed Phoenix Harp react like this?"

Do you want to go and meet him? After thinking about it, Luo Qingyin slowly shook her head.

Let’s forget it at this time.

As the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, the eyes focused on her are naturally different.

There are so many men and even women who want to attract her attention in various ways, which is really annoying.

If she went to see that person for this reason, I'm afraid there would be a few people who were free and would insist on going again. Would she have to see everyone? If she favored one over the other, there would be gossip.

But the sound of the piano is really nice, and the person playing it must be very good too.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

We will meet at the banquet.

"Brother, you look unfamiliar, but your strength is outstanding. I guess you haven't been famous before, so you didn't get a direct invitation, right?"

Not far from the gate of the imperial capital, Liu Qingming's face was full of smiles. He no longer looked as businesslike as before. He greeted Gu Dan with a smile and a cheerful voice.

"Mr. Liu is also very impressive. I am just an ordinary person. I am shameless enough to come here to participate in this grand event. Of course, I am not invited."

As the saying goes, never hit a smiling person, not to mention that Liu Qingming had spoken for Xia Chao. Even though Zhen Chi didn't listen, he was still willing to take on the responsibility. That was why the god transformed by Bai Lian Dai Tian Fa was willing to share the opportunity with him.

As they talked, although it was the first time they met, they both got along quite well.

"With your strength, it won't be difficult for you to pass through Master's formation."

As he spoke, Liu Qingming had already waved his hand, asking the people queuing in front of the formation where Zhen Chi was setting up to move back, actually wanting Gu Dan to cut in line directly.

This is also a very normal thing. Anyway, most people are just here to make up the numbers and join in the fun, so just give them a chance. If you really meet someone who is sure to win, there will naturally be some privileges.

Even in the world of cultivating immortals, in addition to face, one also has to consider one's own strength. It is so real.

"I still don't know your name, brother?"

There was still one person staying in the formation, so the two had time to chat for a while.

"No need to mention your surname, Kong, your given name is Zhai."

Gu Dan said with a smile.

"Kong Zhai? What a good name! My name is Liu Qingming, I think Brother Kong already knows it."

Liu Qingming chatted with Gu Dan with a smile on his face. He no longer had the coldness he had when he tried to persuade everyone to leave. He was quite amiable.

He is arrogant towards ordinary people, so he can treat them calmly. Even if he is slightly offended, he can just laugh it off and not take it seriously.

He was not so kind-tempered towards those mediocre monks. After all, people cannot be generalized.

As he was speaking, the cultivator in the formation could no longer hold on. He suddenly jumped up, as fast as a rabbit, and escaped from the formation set up by the formation idiot in the blink of an eye, and almost collided with the onlookers who were nearby.

"These people know that they are not strong enough, but they still want to try their luck. But if they don't have the strength, what good will luck do? They will only make people laugh."

Liu Qingming didn't treat those people well. "If they were really lucky, they would have joined the Tianji Sect long ago. Why would they need to try here?"

But this time, Gu Dan shook his head and said, "Perhaps it is precisely because of my lack of strength and luck that I have to seize every opportunity. Even if I know that I will fail, it is better than not daring to try. After all, if I fail, there is no loss, right? It's just a few ridicules from others, what does it matter?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the many monks who were still queuing behind him softened unconsciously, and there was even a hint of admiration in them.

These words really touched their hearts!

Cultivation is a matter of defying heaven and changing one's destiny, but those who can do so are ultimately a minority among the minority.

The vast majority of ordinary people are ordinary in the mortal world. If they are lucky enough to be able to practice immortal cultivation, they are just ordinary people in the world of immortal cultivation.

Without a good master, no great opportunities, and even the resources for his own cultivation are stretched thin, he has to fight for his life just for a magical herb.

Those geniuses can certainly laugh at them for not being like immortals, but do they really want to dwell in the quagmire?

If you don't want to move up, who wants to make a fool of themselves in public? It's a pity that the reason why the geniuses are geniuses is because the gap between them is difficult to calculate with reason. Even if they are both cultivators, they seem to be in two different worlds.

They have never been the ones who stir up trouble. Many times, their own struggles seem like a joke and they can only swallow them silently.

Now that he heard these words that came from his heart, he naturally looked at Gu Dan with a much more pleasing look.

This is a true genius. Not only is he gifted, but he can also sympathize with the suffering of others.

After saying this, Gu Dan did not waste any time. He took a step forward and stepped into the empty formation.

As soon as I entered the formation, my eyes blurred.

The thick smell of tide was already overwhelming.

When Gu Dan's vision became clear, he seemed to have been moved thousands of miles away in an instant and found himself in the middle of a vast ocean with only a small wooden log under him.

However, the sea was full of huge waves. What was a small log to do? As the sea surged, the raft suddenly sank, and the whole person fell into the raging tide of the sea, with a strong sense of suffocation.

An ordinary person would subconsciously activate his own spiritual energy at this time, and would find that his own sea of ​​​​qi is empty, without any spiritual energy at all.

However, how sharp was Gu Dan's mind? This level of illusion was far from enough to confuse him.

As soon as he thought about it, a small island rose from the sea, supporting Gu Dan's body.

No matter how hard the waves beat, the rocks remain towering.

Perhaps realizing that the waves were not enough to harm him, an extremely huge black shadow gradually approached from under the sea. It was a giant fish of unknown length. When it appeared, the entire sea surface was covered, and the mountain that lifted up Gu Dan seemed as ridiculous as a mud ball.

The big fish tumbled, just like the earth collapsing and the sky falling.

The isolated island that had just been floating suddenly collapsed.

But Gu Dan remained unmoved.

In the end, Gu Dan's figure was swallowed by the big fish.

In the formation, Gu Dan opened his eyes.

This formation has passed. (End of this chapter)
