In the following period of time, Jianchen rarely went out. He shut himself in his room and cultivated. He kept a very low profile in the Tianqin clan, only occasionally sparring with the battle-crazed Qin Xiao.
Elder Wu, who was constantly thinking about the Five Colored Stone, did not continue to look for Jianchen. He seemed to have completely disappeared from the Tianqin clan, never appearing before Jianchen again.
After a month passed like this, Jianchen used the monster cores to cultivate and raised his strength to the high level Great Saint Master level.
Afterwards, Jianchen spent half a month to stabilize his cultivation. After completely eliminating the hidden dangers caused by using monster cores to cultivate, he continued to absorb the energy within the monster cores to cultivate.
After a month and a half, the waves caused by the Five Colored Stone in the Tianqin clan calmed down. It was as if everyone had forgotten about this matter.
During this period of time, Ming Dong did not remain idle. He learned from Jianchen and shut himself in his room to absorb the energy within the monster cores to cultivate, working hard to increase his strength.
In the morning ten days later, the door to Jianchen's room that had been tightly shut for several days finally opened. A white-robed Jianchen slowly walked out.
Jianchen glanced at the nearby room where Ming Dong lived. He saw that the door was tightly shut and strands of obscure energy rippled out from within. Ming Dong was still cultivating inside.
Jianchen deeply breathed in the refreshing morning air and muttered, "It's been almost two months since I've been in the Tianqin clan. Presumably, the people of the Tianqin clan will be setting off for Mercenary City soon." Jianchen glanced at the independent courtyard where Qin Xiao lived. After a slight hesitation, he walked over in the end. He still needed to ask Qin Xiao about the exact departure date of the Tianqin clan.
When Jianchen arrived at the independent courtyard where Qin Xiao lived, he was stopped by a guard at the entrance.
"Brother, is Qin Xiao inside?" Jianchen clasped his hands and asked.
"The young master went to the martial arts field early in the morning. He's not in the room," the guard replied expressionlessly.
Afterwards, Jianchen made his way to the martial arts field. During the days he had been in the Tianqin clan, Jianchen had often been dragged to the martial arts field by Qin Xiao, so he was extremely familiar with it.
Just as Jian Chen passed by a garden, the melodious sound of a zither suddenly rang out from a nearby pavilion. The sound was gentle, but it seemed to possess a strange charm. It was actually able to resonate with the sound of the zither when it reached the ears of those who heard it.
Jianchen was attracted by the zither sound and instinctively stopped. He turned his head in the direction of the pavilion and saw a woman in a white dress sitting in the pavilion with her back to him. Following the gentle movements of her slender fingers, a beautiful zither sound rang out.
Jianchen made his way to the pavilion and arrived behind the woman in the white dress very quickly. The woman's long black hair cascaded down her back very casually. Her face was covered with white gauze, which completely covered her face. It was impossible to see what she looked like.
However, from the exposed skin on the woman's face and her near-perfect figure, it was still possible to imagine that she was definitely a heavenly beauty.
The woman was the second miss of the Tianqin clan.
Very quickly, the second miss of the Tianqin clan finished playing her zither. She turned her head and glanced at Jianchen who was standing behind her. She gently asked, "Could it be that young master is also someone who likes the zither?" The second miss of the in-law's family had a very lively voice. It was as beautiful as a lark's voice, causing people's hearts to tremble. If it was someone with a weak heart, they would probably be mesmerized by this voice on the spot.
Jianchen gently smiled, "Miss, your zither music is very beautiful. Although I don't know how to play the zither, I was still attracted by your music."
The second miss of the Tianqin clan smiled sweetly and gently said, "Thank you for your praise, young master."
Jianchen smiled and said, "Miss, your zither playing must have reached the point of perfection long ago. You can actually play such a heavenly song that can make people's heartstrings rise and fall with the zither sound. You are truly admirable."
"Although I like the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and have been studying them since I was young, I am still nowhere close to the purity of the flames that young master speaks of. The reason why the zither music is so beautiful is all because of this good zither." The second miss of the Tianqin clan slowly stroked the strings of the zither with her soft, jade-like hands. She murmured, "Although this zither is made from a fabric of the Zither of the Demonic Cry and is only made from a few precious materials, it still contains the saint energy of the Heavenly Enchantress, so it is rather extraordinary when played. The music is moving, as if it can draw people's hearts."
"The Zither Saint? The Heavenly Enchantress? " Jianchen was puzzled. He asked, "Miss, may I ask who the Heavenly Enchantress is?"
The second miss of the Tianqin clan glanced at Jianchen strangely before seeming to think of something. A sliver of understanding appeared on her face before a sliver of admiration appeared on her face. She gently said, "Young master Jianchen comes from a distant kingdom, so you obviously don't know about the Heavenly Enchantress. The Heavenly Enchantress is extremely famous in our region. With just her Zither of the Demonic Cry, she can make the peak experts of many kingdoms on the Tian Yuan Continent pale. The Heavenly Enchantress uses the sound of the zither to injure her enemies, making it impossible to defend against. No one can last long under the effects of the zither. All the people who clash with her will either lose themselves in the sound of the zither or have their souls directly obliterated by the sound. They will die without a trace. "
"The Heavenly Enchantress' Way of the Zither has already reached the peak of perfection. Her music can cause the weather to change. It's said that several decades ago, in order to stop a war between two countries, the Heavenly Enchantress played a song in the air above the battlefield. In just a few seconds, over a million soldiers fell unconscious, and they only woke up after three days and three nights."
The second miss of the Tianqin clan admired the Heavenly Enchantress very much. Her eyes shone with a strange light as soon as she mentioned the Heavenly Enchantress.
"Over a million soldiers fell asleep for three days and three nights with a single song. The Heavenly Enchantress' music is just too powerful." Jianchen could not help but feel shocked by the power of the Heavenly Enchantress' music.
"Every single song the Heavenly Enchantress plays is unparalleled. It's an immortal song," said the second miss of the Tianqin clan. She had loved the four arts since she was young, so the Heavenly Enchantress had become her goal long ago.
"Oh, the Heavenly Enchantress' music is actually so wondrous. If there's an opportunity, I would like to see it for myself," said Jianchen.
"The Heavenly Enchantress has already become a Saint Ruler. How can she be so easy to see?" The second miss of the Tianqin clan murmured. Afterward, her eyes shone and she said, "Young master Jianchen, I heard you're going to participate in the Mercenary Gathering this time?"
Jianchen sat down on a stool in the pavilion and replied, "That's right. I am indeed going to participate in the Mercenary Gathering. "
"I may not have seen the Mercenary Gathering, but I've heard that it's extremely dangerous. Less than a tenth of the people who participate in the Mercenary Gathering will survive. Even Earth Saint Masters may not necessarily survive. Young master Jianchen, you must be careful," said the second miss of the Tianqin clan softly.
"Thank you for your advice, second miss. I will be careful."
After casually chatting with the second miss of the Tianqin clan, Jianchen left and made his way to the practice field.
The practice field of the Tianqin clan was a ring with a circumference of sixty meters. When Jianchen arrived, the half-naked Qin Xiao just happened to jump off the ring. In the ring, the five captains of the guards were lying there with pale faces.
Qin Xiao took a towel from a guard and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He smiled at Jianchen, "Brother Jianchen, why have you come here? Are you itching to spar with me?"
Jianchen arrived before Qin Xiao and smiled, "Brother Qin Xiao, I've come this time to ask when we'll be leaving for Mercenary City."
"No rush! No rush! There's still over three months until the Mercenary Gathering. We'll have to wait at least half a month before leaving, "said Qin Xiao.
With that, Jianchen hesitated slightly before replying, "Brother Qin Xiao, I have some matters to attend to and need to leave for a period of time. However, I'll definitely be back within half a month."
Jianchen's strength had already reached the peak of Great Saint Master. There would definitely be quite a few Earth Saint Master geniuses among his opponents in the Mercenary Gathering this time, so before he left for Mercenary City, Jianchen wanted to break through to the Earth Saint Master level. That way, his chances of success in the Mercenary Gathering would be much greater.
Qin Xiao did not ask Jianchen what he was going to do. He only warned Jianchen not to miss the time. Afterward, Jianchen left the Tianqin clan by himself. Riding a mount, he rushed out of Walaurent City.
"Jianchen has left the clan. It looks like he's going on a long journey. Go inform elder Wu." One of the two guards immediately ran into the Tianqin clan.
Within an independent courtyard of the Tianqin clan, elder Wu and an old man around his age sat at a table in the courtyard, leisurely playing chess.
"Elder Wu, this subordinate has something to report!" Suddenly, a guard came directly to the entrance of the small courtyard and spoke to Elder Wu who was inside.
Elder Wu frowned slightly when he heard that. He glanced at the guard with some displeasure and scolded, "Don't you know that it's forbidden to be disturbed when I'm playing chess?" Elder Wu's voice contained some anger.
"Elder Wu, this matter was personally ordered by you. It's a special matter, so I have to report it to you no matter what," the guard followed up.
Elder Wu's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He said, "Come with me." With that, elder Wu stood up and walked into the room.
"Old Wu, what's so important? Can't you finish the game first?" The old man who was playing chess with elder Wu grumbled.
"Old He, I have something important to do. Let's put this game on hold for now," elder Wu said without even looking back as he led the guard into the room.
Elder Wu closed the door and turned to look at the guard. The guard was smart as well. Without elder Wu asking, he took the initiative to speak, "Elder Wu, Jianchen has just left the Tianqin clan. It looks like he's going on a long journey."
A gleam of light flashed through elder Wu's eyes, "Which direction did he go?"
