"No, I have no intention of repaying you with my body!"
Qi Xin Rou's face immediately turned red, she lowered her head and muttered to herself, "Senior martial brother Chu's cultivation is profound and his courage surpasses others. I … how am I worthy … "
"What do you mean by worthy or not!"
Big miss Zhao Yue lightly snorted, "There are no good men, the more righteous they look on the surface, the more evil they are. There are plenty of such men …"
"But … but senior martial brother Chu is not such a person …"
"That's hard to say. As the saying goes, you may know a person for a long time without understanding his heart. We only met Chu Chen by chance and do not understand each other. Moreover, junior martial sister Qi, you don't need to belittle yourself like this, with your looks and talent, you are more than enough to match the two Ling Xi brats."
Zhao Yue gritted her teeth and spoke resolutely, Qi Xin Rou was slightly startled and secretly sighed, she had a disappointed expression.
Just as the two female cultivators were discussing, Chu Chen had already left the Demon Sound Mountain.
Chu Chen flew all the way, and it wasn't long before he appeared in the bustling Illusory City that was filled with people and an endless stream of carriages.
Looking at this lively and bustling world, everything that happened in the Demon Sound Mountain seemed to be a lifetime ago.
Chu Chen returned to the courtyard in the long alley and found that his companions were not in the house. That's right, it was rare for them to have a few days of leisure, everyone was busy with their own things and went to play on their own.
Chu Chen went back to his room and fell asleep. Only when the sun set and the golden afterglow filled the entire courtyard did he lazily get up from his bed.
At this time, there was one more person in the room, it was the old cultivator Xuan Ge who was chopping wood in the courtyard. He focused on chopping the black-grain wood with the axe in his hand and nodded towards Chu Chen. Then, he immersed himself in his own world and continued to chop wood.
Chu Chen slowly walked to the stone table in the center of the courtyard and sat down. With a wave of his sleeve, he blew away the green leaves and took out his zither materials from the Demon Sound Mountain.
Injecting spirit power, he slowly raised the zither making jade slip that Shi Yuyan gave him and various 3D images appeared.
Chu Chen unhurriedly began to assemble his Natal Jade Zither according to the method recorded in the book.
Since there was no longer a time limit, Chu Chen had a lot of time to carefully polish and sculpt this Chuqin.
The materials that Chu Chen had chosen in the Demon Sound Mountain were all of the highest quality. The process of assembling the zither and the flow of various spiritual intents was a form of enjoyment for Chu Chen.
He realized that being a craftsman was also very interesting.
Chu Chen was so engrossed in his work that he almost forgot to eat and sleep. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already late at night. The moon had already set in the west, and the autumn dew was heavy.
"Crack!"
His assembly was finally completed. Staring at his first zither, Chu Chen nodded slightly. Under the moonlight, the zither looked like a work of art.
The cold moonlight moved gently, and the halos between the various parts of the zither flowed and merged with each other. In the end, it was as if the zither had returned to its original state, hiding all the light.
From the outside, this zither looked very ordinary. It had a wooden body, translucent strings, and a black base.
It was basically no different from the zithers sold in the secular world, but it had a unique aura.
Chu Chen believed that every zither had its own life and temperament.
Especially when Chu Chen played it for the first time, he could clearly feel that each string contained a wave of warmth and power.
Thus, Chu Chen named this zither that he had personally made, Mortal Heart.
After finishing the zither, Chu Chen went to sleep.
Perhaps because he had been immersed in the zither for the entire day, he slept especially well that night.
The next morning, Chu Chen woke up early. After eating the breakfast prepared by Zhou Lin, he carried his work to a long street in the south of Fantasy Spirit City.
This street was remote, but it was filled with willow trees, so it was called Green Willow Street.
Perhaps because of the climate change in the Small Immortal Realm, the willow trees were bare at this time. Only a few green leaves would occasionally tremble in the wind.
This street was not far from the market. Occasionally, there would be some cultivators lining up their small stalls on the side of the street.
Chu Chen set up his zither at the corner of Green Willow Street where there were not many people. He took out a few basic zither scores that Shi Yuyan gave him and began to practice the zither.
The zither was named Mortal Heart. Chu Chen hoped that it could be tainted with some of the aura of the secular world.
At the same time, he also hoped that his zither heart that could control the ancient notes of the stars would be adjusted. First enter the secular world, then destroy the secular world!
When Chu Chen first started to play, he basically played tuneless zither notes. The cultivators who occasionally passed by all frowned and wished they could cover their ears and leave.
Chu Chen, on the other hand, was enjoying himself. He repeatedly practiced. However, the basic zither scores were very simple. After practice made perfect, Chu Chen gradually gained some insights.
By the time the sun set in the afternoon and the street was dyed golden, Chu Chen had already bid farewell to the stage where it was too horrible to look at. It couldn't be said that it was brilliant, but it could be said that it was barely audible.
A few old cultivators and children would occasionally stop to listen to Chu Chen play a part before leaving.
Chu Chen did not care whether there was an audience or not. He just practiced on this street, day after day.
Every day, he would leave the house at dawn and practice until night fell. Only then would he return to his room to rest.
Chu Chen discovered that the zither path was very important to one's aptitude.
When playing the zither, there would be a slight change in one's strength, state of mind, and mood. It would lead to a corresponding change in every note and every tune.
These changes might seem small, but when they were combined into a melody, the final melody formed would have a world of difference.
After practicing for three days, Chu Chen objectively said that his aptitude for zither skills was not bad.
The most important thing was that his spiritual force was so strong that his spiritual sense was extremely sharp.
Every small change in the zither notes could not escape his perception. As long as he practiced for a few days and familiarized himself with the basic melody changes, he would be able to play a slightly difficult piece.
Five days later, Chu Chen carried the zither and slowly went out to Green Willow Street. Unexpectedly, he found a few female cultivators standing at the place where he often played the zither.
Chu Chen was very surprised. His zither skills were simply crude. He did not expect that he would be able to capture female fans.
Chu Chen came here to play the zither and did not have the habit of interacting with his fans. He quietly set up the zither and sat on the stone bench. Then, he gently began to flip through the basic zither scores, preparing to choose his first song of the day.
"Little Brother, can you play that very warm song?"
Among the few female cultivators, a plump and sexy blue-robed female cultivator walked in front of Chu Chen.
Chu Chen did not even raise his head. He just continued to adjust the strings of the zither. From time to time, a clear sound could be heard. After adjusting for a long time, he slowly raised his head.
"Miss, I'm sorry. I don't allow you to play songs here."
Chu Chen said lightly. Then, he lowered his head and continued to try the remaining strings.
The blue-robed female cultivator with long legs had a disappointed look on her face. "Is it really not possible? We can give you immortal crystals. "
"I've let this miss see a joke. I just learned the zither. I'm still in the practice stage. It's not suitable for me to sell my skills." Chu Chen slightly frowned and looked at her. Then, he made a gesture to ask her to leave.
"If you don't want immortal crystals, we can give you something else."
"No need."
Chu Chen did not intend to say anything more to her. He continued to make a gesture to ask her not to say anything more. The blue-robed female cultivator immediately became anxious.
Chu Chen remained silent. His right hand flipped through the basic zither scores. Soon, he turned to the third page. He was ready to start today's practice.
"Young man, did you know that we were almost wiped out in the Lesser Immortal Realm when we encountered a Beast King? Only the four of us survived. Our Junior Sister has been depressed for a long time. She even thought about killing herself, but after listening to your song a few times over the past few days, she has slowly come to terms with it."
The blue-robed female cultivator was afraid of being completely rejected by Chu Chen. Therefore, she spoke very quickly and sincerely.
