Ignoring Wang Qianjun's dissatisfied shouts, Gu Dan began to eat very hard.

To be fair, the scale of this banquet was really impressive. Although it was certainly not as good as a proper fairy banquet, it was already quite impressive among the younger generation.

The fruits, vegetables, and drinks here would be enough to make one's head break for any one of them if they were placed outside.

The precious treasures that were bred in the territory of the Xia Dynasty before were not as good as any of the fruits placed here.

It’s not that those spiritual treasures are bad, but there will always be better things after the level is raised.

The lower-level cultivators would be eager to get it and would fight for their lives for a spiritual treasure, but here you can taste it as you like. Although Gu Dan has the ability to improve spiritual medicines and has no shortage of ordinary spiritual treasures, the things here were brought here from across a realm. Where have you seen them before?

Even if I want to train him, I don't have the opportunity.

As Gu Dan ate, waves of pure spiritual power continued to flow into his sea of ​​​​qi. For an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, eating just a few of them would be enough for him to sit cross-legged and refine them.

But Gu Dan has a body of great Dao, and these minor problems cannot affect him at all. The spiritual energy that flows into his body is being refined at a speed that is enough to make people astonished, and gradually fills up his sea of ​​​​qi.

While he was tasting delicious food with his mouth, in fact his Taoist strength was also constantly improving. The taste was so wonderful that it made people linger.

This trip was definitely worth it.

As the sky gradually darkened and many monks had gathered in groups of three or five to warm up their relationship, the Holy Maiden of Hehuan, Luo Qingyin, walked out slowly, and her gentle voice spread in all directions.

"Qingyin is very grateful that you all came from afar to attend the banquet. The little wine and spiritual fruits are just to add to the flavor. Qingyin also prepared a song, which I will play for you today."

"Very good, very good. I am lucky enough to see the Saint playing the zither. I can brag about her to my fellow disciples in the future."

"If Saint Luo had informed us in advance, the number of people coming here today would have more than doubled!"

"What do you mean by surprise? This is a real surprise! If I have the chance to hear the Saint Lady playing the zither, one of the most magnificent scenes of cultivating immortals, I will have no regrets even if I die in battle in the future!"

One stone caused a thousand ripples. Many monks showed joy on their faces and repeatedly sighed that their trip was not in vain.

Even Wang Qianjun was quite excited, "There is such a good thing?"

"Why? Very famous?"

Seeing his reaction, Gu Dan asked curiously.

“Come on, that’s the Saint Lady playing the piano that is worthy of the praise of the grand scene of cultivating immortals. It’s not just famous, it’s simply thunderous! It’s the absolute signature skill of the Hehuan Sect, and everyone who hears it will be moved!”

Wang Qianjun glanced at Gu Dan with a strange look.

No, how come you don't even know this? Even if it's a hidden sect, it shouldn't be that you can't even remember the special skills of the Hehuan Sect, right?

After all, the Hehuan Sect is one of the nine immortal sects, and it has always had a strong presence!

"In that case, I'll be all ears."

Gu Dan gently wiped off the remaining juice from the corner of his mouth, followed the footsteps of the monks and moved forward together.

Luo Qingyin was already sitting in front of a stage that had been set up at some unknown time, with a guqin lying in front of her.

It was not the five-string phoenix harp that Gu Dan had used when he passed the test. This time, there were seven strings, and the color was finally the same, all jade yellow. The body of the harp looked simple and old, with no dragons or phoenixes carved on it, and one could even see some cracks remaining, full of traces of time.

Luo Qingyin knelt quietly beside the guqin, her beautiful face completely calm, as if she had forgotten everything about the outside world.

Without the golden sand covering her, her beautiful appearance alone was enough to make people linger, not to mention the unique Taoist aura that enveloped her body, like moonlight, attracting everyone's attention, both men and women.

Before they knew it, the surroundings gradually became quiet. Many monks gathered in front, surrounding Saint Hehuan like stars surrounding the moon. Even the sound of breathing gradually became fainter.

No one spoke or talked anymore, and everyone's eyes were on Luo Qingyin.

The strings of the zither have not been plucked yet, but many people's hearts have been moved by the beautiful face and the incomparable spiritual essence.

The beauty of the saint is unparalleled in the world.

“Ding~”

When everyone's mind was gradually attracted by Luo Qingyin, Luo Qingyin on the stage finally made a move.

The white and delicate jade fingers gently plucked a string, and a slightly abrupt sound suddenly rang out and echoed here.

The sound of the piano is clear and crisp, like jade beads falling on a plate.

The performance began.

As the first string was plucked, Luo Qingyin's temperament quietly changed, especially her obvious charm, which seemed to respond to the fluctuations of the strings.

This change was extremely subtle, but how sharp was Gu Dan's consciousness? He had also experienced what it meant to be in harmony with the Tao, and in this respect he had a truly unparalleled advantage.

So the moment the change happened, Gu Dan already noticed it.

“Ding, ding, snap!”

The sound of water drops falling on jade and then hitting the water pool began to sound continuously, very slowly and softly, leisurely and casually, as if describing a common scene.

But then, the sound of the piano became swifter, like falling water droplets gathering into a waterline, and the water waves also rose and fell, splashing thousands of ripples.

But this is just the beginning.

Unconsciously, Luo Qingyin's hands were as fast as a phantom. The strings were plucked one after another, and the sound of the piano rang out continuously like mercury leaking on the ground.

When thousands of sounds intertwined with each other in a very short period of time, it was like the water of a rushing river. Unnoticed at first, the tiny water droplets condensed into shocking waves, rushing towards you in an unstoppable manner!

Faintly, there was actually some moist and humid air gradually approaching from all around. The monks who were staring at Luo Qingyin seemed to see an unstoppable torrent rushing towards this place at a speed that was enough to make people despair!

The charm of Luo Qingyin flowed and reflected, resonating with the sound of the piano.

An indescribable feeling of suffocation also began to fill the hearts of many cultivators at this moment. It seemed that all their cultivation had become like a piece of waste paper, completely useless.

Even Gu Dan is no exception.

He subconsciously wanted to resist, but just as this thought came into being, the Dao essence in Luo Qingyin seemed to sense it, and the feeling of suffocation became even stronger! On the stage, Luo Qingyin also seemed to sense it, and gently turned her eyes and glanced at Gu Dan.

This was the first person to react and resist.

This little episode did not affect Luo Qingyin's playing. Her slender and white jade fingers plucked the strings as fast as a phantom, and it was extremely difficult to see clearly.

The water vapor became more and more intense, and some monks with keen spiritual perception had already reacted and felt the suffocation.

The sound of the piano was like waves, pressing down on them without stopping, as if it wanted to drown all the monks.

As the feeling of suffocation became more and more severe, the spiritual energy in the body became heavier and heavier, as if even the spiritual energy was useless in the face of the tide.

When this feeling became strong enough, some monks could no longer bear it and wanted to resist.

But he suddenly discovered that he could not mobilize his own spiritual energy, as if it was completely blocked by the sound of the piano.

As she struggled, the sound of the piano seemed to turn into raging waves, and there was a faint sense of pain! At this time, the so-called saint playing the piano was no longer a kind of enjoyment, but a living torture.

And this kind of torment is not experienced by one person alone. The more one wants to resist, the more intense the torment becomes.

Be it divine thoughts or spiritual energy, the sound of the piano suppressed everyone together. Anyone who wanted to resist would be like fighting directly with the Holy Maiden Hehuan.

'That's interesting.'

Gu Dan looked at Luo Qingyin with burning eyes, and he seemed to sense a familiar feeling vaguely.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

At some point, the endless piano music was occasionally mixed with some dull sounds, like the sound of muffled thunder echoing in the sky between the shocking waves.

The river is rushing and the thunder is roaring.

It was like the end of the world.

The feeling of extreme oppression naturally emerged in everyone's heart, and the feeling of suffocation was almost intense to the extreme.

However, along with the sound of thunder, the restraints that everyone had been carrying unconsciously were relieved a lot. Many people had forgotten where they were and that this was a grand scene of a saint playing the piano.

When he realized that his condition was gradually recovering and the shackles were lightened, he subconsciously mobilized his own spiritual energy and circulated his mind, trying to resist the extreme feeling of torture.

The sound is like falling rain, and the music is like the sinking sky.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In the extreme repression lies the extreme resistance.

At a certain moment, the shackles on everyone suddenly disappeared, the suppressed state was completely restored, and their own spiritual energy began to obey their own commands again.

Many people had auras blooming on their bodies, and they finally reacted when they were about to leave their bodies.

The sound of the piano is still playing, but it is not as continuous as at the beginning. The tide has not yet receded. No, it is not receding, but moving away, as if the faint sounds here are coming from a very long distance.

And amidst the sound of the tide, there were also many musical sounds that sounded like drum beats, which were incompatible with the sound of the tide.

Compared to the unstoppable and murderous nature of the tide, the drum-like music seemed a little out of place. It was chaotic at first, but gradually became orderly, and eventually began to overwhelm the sound of the tide and occupy the mainstream.

Until this moment, there was no longer any shackles on everyone, and their own spiritual energy began to circulate on its own, and the speed was much faster than before.

The Taoist aura of Luo Qingyin once again made people feel friendly and beautiful, like a spring breeze blowing on their faces. The beating music gradually became more and more high-pitched and intense, as if composing a brand new piece of music, which suddenly made people feel full of heroism.

The sound of the tide that made people feel suffocated before is now barely detectable, but the endless future naturally makes people full of expectations, and they can't wait to throw themselves into it.

At the same time, the sound of the piano suddenly became cheerful, as if everything before was just an illusion. The gentle and soft sound seemed to be a spring breeze, making all things flourish and prosper.

Gu Dan naturally realized that the circulation of his own spiritual energy had unknowingly become a little faster. Not only that, even the divine thoughts in his sea of ​​consciousness could not help but stir up some ripples, and his own state was cleansed by the sound of the piano.

The warm spring breeze swept away the previous aggressive situation, just like the spring rain that moistens everything silently and sweeps the sky and the earth. There is no more suffering, only enjoyment.

The sound of the piano is lingering and full of vitality.

After spring, summer comes.

All things sprout and grow, and grow strong and tall at this time.

The sound of the piano responded, like climbing vines and sprouting branches from ancient trees. As the rhythm of the piano played, the activity level of spiritual energy in everyone's body was raised to a new level. Their consciousness resonated with their bodies at this moment, as if they had experienced an incredible baptism.

Endure the severe cold of winter and naturally the flowers will bloom.

When your efforts accumulate to a certain level, that’s when the harvest will come!

The summer growth has come to an end, but the fruits of autumn have been gestated for a long time.

The sound of the piano rose again, but not violently, but gradually, as if it had arrived at the final destination after a long journey.

Safe, appropriate, and reasonable.

Just like the rotation of the sun and the moon, like spring, summer, autumn and winter, all things in heaven and earth are included in it, and all spirits receive its blessings and hardships, and naturally dance along with it.

The melodious piano music brings endless satisfaction and harvest, just like a seed that has been weathered by wind and frost and has finally blossomed into the most beautiful stamen after going through everything. Everything has the best ending.

The spiritual energy that had long been accumulated in Gu Dan's body was completely refined and finally returned to the sea of ​​​​qi.

When he continued to reach a certain level, his own aura, which was originally very well hidden, naturally improved a lot.

Breakthrough.

Late stage of foundation building.

The body of the Great Dao has only been nurtured for less than ten years, and it has already reached this level.

All I can say is that the body of the Tao is so terrifying.

Of course, this was also due to the fact that Gu Dan had never slacked off in his practice, and that he had received help from many spiritual medicines, as well as the contribution of Luo Qingyin's playing the piano - although he had not originally felt any so-called barriers to practice.

The piano music stopped.

Gu Dan felt that most of his qi sea had been filled up, and a smile appeared on his face.

However, when he looked around him, he found that many eyes were looking at him.

Wang Qianjun, who was closest to him, had a complicated expression on his face. He didn't even have time to praise Luo Qingyin for her increasingly advanced piano skills. Instead, he asked, "Friend Kong Daoist, if I'm not mistaken, you just had a breakthrough?"

"right."

Gu Dan nodded slightly. It was inevitable that there would be some noise when breaking through. In addition, he couldn't really resist the influence of Luo Qingyin's Tao aura, so he was noticed by the outside world.

"Isn't it the foundation building?"

The corners of Wang Qianjun's mouth twitched.

He understood the principle, but why did it feel like it didn't seem like a golden elixir breakthrough at all?

The momentum of the golden elixir's breakthrough should not be so restrained, with only a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy.

"Just reached the late stage of foundation building."

Gu Dan said frankly.

"Late stage of foundation building?!"

Wang Qianjun’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Hiss~"

For a moment, countless sounds of people gasping for air were heard all around.

It’s not because the late stage of foundation building is too strong.

But he is just building the foundation, how did he get here?

And you're even better than Wang Qianjun? Brother, are you kidding me? (End of this chapter)
