Chapter 22



——Use the mountain as the harp and spiritual power as the strings!

Xuan Lingzi was high above the sky, and the sound of the piano seemed to come from the sky, beautiful and moving.

Every time he swung his sleeve and struck the strings, the movement was as smooth as a wisp of air, tracing an arc, flowing like clouds and water, all in one breath. Luo Jianqing had never heard this piece of music before, but each note rumbled through his heart, accompanied by a mysterious and terrifying state, cleansing his meridians and slowly clearing his mind.

The music turned into real objects among the mountain peaks, with cranes flying, ribbons fluttering, and auspicious clouds covering the sky.

The wondrous sound of the zither gently reverberated throughout Mount Taihua. All the disciples put aside their tasks to listen attentively to this unfamiliar melody. Cultivators on the verge of a breakthrough experienced a sudden realization, some even advancing directly. Even Venerable Yuqingzi, the most revered alchemist in Mount Taihua, flew out of his cave and gazed in astonishment towards Yuxiao Peak.

"Who is so blessed that Junior Brother Xuan Lingzi can play the Yuxiaoqin for him personally?"

At this moment, Luo Jianqing closed his eyes and felt that mysterious state.

He heard the sound of flowers blooming and withering on the earth, he heard the conversations of fish and shrimps playing in the stream, he heard the rustling of leaves in every gust of wind, and he also heard the sighs of every living thing growing and reproducing.

The lush yellow flowers are nothing but Prajna, and the verdant green bamboos are all Dharmakaya.

The second plunder in "Nine Records of Heaven" is to plunder the Dharma of living beings!

Luo Jianqing suddenly became clear-minded and finally got a glimpse of the supreme realm belonging to the second level!

The next moment, a final, elegant musical note boomed upward, soaring into the sky. Countless golden lights spread across Mount Taihua. Countless demonic beasts excitedly fled from their caves to bask in the golden aura. Many immortal herbs swayed with joy, their spiritual energy intensifying as the golden light entered their bodies.

Luo Jianqing, who was in the center of the golden light, felt a coolness in his body. Warm spiritual power flowed into every acupoint in his body, gently caressing his meridians and making him feel comfortable.

When the piece ended, Luo Jianqing opened his eyes and looked towards Xuan Lingzi, who was suspended in the air. With a flick of his sleeve, the spiritual strings between the mountain peaks vanished.

Xuan Lingzi walked towards Luo Jianqing. It seemed that he only took a few steps, but he walked directly in front of Luo Jianqing. A golden light flashed in his light-colored eyes. Even Xuan Lingzi looked a little pale at this moment, with sweat appearing on his forehead.

Luo Jianqing looked up at him, and he lowered his head to look at Luo Jianqing.

After a moment, Xuan Lingzi's fingers gently touched Luo Jianqing's eyebrows.

Luo Jianqing felt a burning sensation between his eyebrows. Before he could react, Xuan Lingzi turned around very quickly, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "This wisp of thought will follow you into the Flowing Flame Valley. Jianqing, if you don't intensify your cultivation, your master will know."

Luo Jianqing's heart trembled slightly, his lips moved, and many words rushed into his throat, but in the end he swallowed them all back.

Luo Jianqing bowed and then flew away.

Shortly after he left, Xuan Lingzi, who had been facing away from him, suddenly stumbled and nearly fell off the cliff. A streak of light flashed across the sky, and Venerable Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "Junior brother, why did you want to play the zither today... Junior brother, what's wrong with you?!"

Xuan Lingzi waved his hand, but Yu Qingzi directly used tens of millions of spiritual power threads to probe Xuan Lingzi's body.

The next second, Yu Qingzi opened his eyes wide. "Half of your soul! I've heard from Senior Brother Hao Xingzi that when Jianqing went on an adventure last time, you actually split your soul in half and followed him in, and you were seriously injured. Junior brother, it's been less than a year, and you actually split your soul again, you..."

"Senior Sister, you don't have to say anymore."

Yu Qingzi was furious: "That's Liuyan Valley, not just a small ruin for Nascent Soul cultivators. Half of your soul has no physical form, and your strength has been greatly reduced. I'm afraid you're only at the early stage of the Great Vehicle, or even the Tribulation Crossing stage. If you encounter danger there, you won't be able to escape. Junior brother, without half of your soul, even you are in danger of your life!"

Although Xuan Lingzi's face was pale, he did not answer. When Yu Qingzi shouted, "Before Jian Qing leaves, we must get that half of the soul back," Xuan Lingzi's sword energy became stronger and he blocked Yu Qingzi's way.

The handsome and elegant venerable said calmly, "Senior Sister, that is my disciple. If you dare to do anything to him that I don't allow, I will definitely take revenge on your disciple Mu Tianxin."

Yu Qingzi opened his eyes wide in shock and was speechless for a moment.

A quarter of an hour later, a group of disciples followed the elder and left the Taihua Mountain barrier.

The journey from Mount Taihua to Liuyan Valley was long. Even with the elders' flying magic weapon, they still traveled for a full ten days before finally arriving at Changzhou Liuyan City. By this time, many cultivators had already gathered in Liuyan City, including many from various sects, but many more were still independent cultivators.

After the Flowing Flame Valley opened, anyone with a cultivation base below the Nascent Soul stage could enter. However, most independent cultivators would risk their lives and would not be able to obtain any treasures. However, members of sects often gathered together and often gained more.

When Luo Jianqing and his party arrived in Liuyan City, Elder Shan walked to the only inn in the city as if he was familiar with the place and took the doorplate belonging to Taihua Mountain.

This inn was opened by the Lord of Liuyan City specifically to accommodate visiting monks. It's been closed for fifty years, but once it's open, it's been full of food for fifty years. Each time, rooms are reserved specifically for the "One Mountain, Four Sects, Eight Great Families, and Sixteen Schools." The remaining monks compete for rooms based on their strength.

After the Taihua Mountain group entered the inn, the elders from the other four sects came up to converse with Elder Shan. The five of them chatted pleasantly, and Luo Jianqing began arranging rooms for each disciple. He carefully reserved single rooms for each female disciple, while the male disciples were grouped together in pairs or threes. He even shared a room with Jie Zizhuo, unable to allocate more.
