There was a brief moment of silence in the room.
In the end, it was Liu Mansha who broke the silence. She calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, I want to listen to the remaining versions of the song!"
Mu Sheng also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, let's listen to the rest of the song!"
Xia Ruofei knew what these two middle-stage Golden Core seniors were thinking. They were just unwilling to give up. They thought that maybe the effect of the song varied from person to person. What if the later version of the song could also make them enter that wonderful state?
Xia Ruofei knew that the possibility of this was very low. He vaguely felt that the song just now was the only correct answer, and it was impossible for it to appear again.
However, since the two of them had made this request, he couldn't refuse. It was just a matter of spending more time. Anyway, he had already found the song. Xia Ruofei naturally didn't object to listening to the last few songs.
He nodded and said, "No problem!"
After saying that, Xia Ruofei walked into the screening room.
Liu Mansha and Mu Jianfei didn't change their seats. They were still sitting in Yu Xin 'er and Mu Jianfei's seats.
Xia Ruofei operated the music arrangement software and began to play the 20th song.
The melodious music sounded again in the Movie Hall. Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha listened attentively. To their disappointment, they didn't enter that wonderful state.
The song ended and no one spoke.
Xia Ruofei didn't say anything and directly played the 21st song.
After the song was played, Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha still didn't have any reaction.
Then, the 22nd song, the 23rd song …
In a short while, all 26 songs were played.
When the last note of the last song ended and the Movie Hall returned to silence, Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha finally gave up. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.
Mu Sheng sighed and said, "How can this be? Why can Jianfei react to the song, but Valley Master Liu and I can't? "
Mu Jianfei had a strange expression on his face. He felt that there was something wrong with his father's words. No matter how he listened to it, it sounded awkward.
Chen Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Seniors, could it be because your cultivation is too high … You two are the only two Aurous Core middle stage cultivators here today. Among the rest of us, the highest cultivation is only at the early Aurous Core stage …"
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Xia Ruofei — although he and Xia Ruofei were both at the early stage of the Gold Core realm, he had to admit that Xia Ruofei should be much stronger than him. The person with the highest cultivation was naturally Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei didn't agree with Chen Xuan's judgment.
Although his cultivation was at the early stage of the Aurous Core realm, his strength was definitely not weaker than a middle stage Aurous Core cultivator. Moreover, in terms of spiritual power alone, he wasn't weaker than a late stage Aurous Core cultivator.
If one's cultivation was at the middle stage of the Aurous Core realm or even higher, they wouldn't be able to react to the song. Xia Ruofei felt that he was very likely to be the same as Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha.
Liu Mansha smiled bitterly and said, "There's a limit to cultivation? Moreover, there's only a limit. How can there be such a thing? "
If the song didn't work when one's cultivation was at or above the middle stage of the Aurous Core realm, it was indeed a bit of a trap.
Moreover, Mu Jianfei, Yu Xin 'er, and Ling Qingxue were all at the Aura Refining realm. In other words, there was only a limit to cultivation, but there was no limit. That was even more of a trap.
It was as if the song was tailor-made for Liu Mansha and Mu Sheng.
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "This is only Brother Chen's guess. No one knows the truth yet. We can only analyze it further … However, I personally think that there might not be a limit to cultivation, or even a requirement to the cultivator's level of music theory. Valley Master Liu and Weiwei's attainments in music theory are definitely higher than mine."
Ling Qingxue also nodded and said, "I agree with Ruofei's deduction. I know almost nothing about music, and Weiwei is much better than I am. However, the truth is that she didn't react to the song at all. As for me, almost as soon as the first note sounded, I was quickly immersed in the scene."
Song Wei also felt a little depressed. In the process of deciphering this music score, she had played the biggest role. In fact, most of the details of the 19th song that was selected were actually handled according to Song Wei's speculations. The facts proved that her speculations were very accurate.
However, accurate analysis was of no use at all. When the song was actually played, she could only appreciate the beautiful melody like a bystander. She couldn't immerse herself in the wonderful scene like Ling Qingxue.
Chen Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Xia, now we can basically confirm that the 19th song is the correct answer. However, there are still many questions, including the situation of Senior Mu and Senior Liu. It is also very puzzling, so … "
Speaking of this, Chen Xuan paused for a moment, looked around at everyone, and then said, "My suggestion is to make two preparations. On the one hand, we should seize the time to study some key information in the wonderful scene and try to completely crack the secret of the token as soon as possible. On the other hand, we should further confirm what kind of criteria this song has for the selection of listeners."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I agree with Brother Chen's opinion. As for the first question, five of us have now experienced that scene. If we sit down and review it together in the next two days, we should be able to gain something. As for the second question, does Brother Chen have any good ideas? "
In fact, Xia Ruofei could more or less guess Chen Xuan's intention, but he would definitely not take the initiative to say this kind of thing. If he let Chen Xuan say it, he could at least gain a favor, right?
Sure enough, Chen Xuan said directly, "My suggestion is to expand the scope of the selection and let more cultivators listen to this song. Let's see who can respond to the song and who can't enter that scene like Senior Mu and Senior Liu. Only when we get more data can we further analyze it. "
Mu Sheng said, "I think it's okay! However, the members must be selected from our forces, and they must be absolutely reliable. "
Liu Mansha also nodded and said, "Sect Leader Mu's point is very important. In addition, I also want to add that we should try to distinguish the levels as much as possible. Among the participants, there must be cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm and the Gold Core Realm. And it's best if there are cultivators above the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm. In this way, the test results will be more accurate."
After Liu Mansha finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Chen Xuan.
The reason was very simple. Whether it was the Surging Waves Sect or the Soaring Flower Valley, they only had one cultivator at the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm, and that was Liu Mansha and Mu Sheng. Therefore, it was impossible for them to send another cultivator at the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm.
As for Xia Ruofei, strictly speaking, he didn't have his own force at all. Even if the Star Picking Sect was counted, there was only one cultivator at the Gold Core Realm, Luo Qingfeng, and he was only at the early stage of the Gold Core Realm.
Therefore, Liu Mansha's additional suggestion could only fall on Chen Xuan and the Tianyi School where Chen Xuan was.
Chen Xuan's father, the head of the Tianyi School, Chen Nanfeng, was a cultivator at the late stage of the Gold Core Realm, and the Tianyi School also had two elders at the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm. Now, only the Tianyi School could send out high-end fighters above the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm.
Chen Xuan was naturally eager for all the experts in the sect to come and listen to this song, so he naturally wouldn't have any objections.
Moreover, he couldn't show it. He had to say in a slightly reserved manner, "I agree. If necessary, the Tianyi School is willing to send out two elders at the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm. Even my father can come and test it."
After saying that, Chen Xuan turned his eyes to Xia Ruofei.
In fact, it was a little unfair to Xia Ruofei to expand the scope of the information. The Tianyi School, the Surging Waves Sect, and the Soaring Flower Valley could all choose enough candidates, but it was unlikely for Xia Ruofei to do so.
However, the token was provided by everyone. According to the current situation, Xia Ruofei had 20% of the shares.
The more people there were, the more Xia Ruofei would be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, not only Chen Xuan, but even Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha also looked at Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei knew everyone's concerns, so he said with a faint smile, "I have no objection. As for how many people each force will send, we can discuss it together. I don't think there are too many people on my side. At most, I'll ask Sect Leader Luo to bring one more disciple. Two people!"
Chen Xuan, Mu Sheng, and Liu Mansha were slightly relieved.
In the end, they discussed it and decided that each force would send five people. Of course, Xia Ruofei would only send two people.
The reason why they decided on five people was that they had considered it carefully.
The Tianyi Sect would send two elders at the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm. In addition, Chen Nanfeng would also come in person if nothing unexpected happened. Thus, three people would be used up. The remaining two people were the lowest allocation because the Tianyi Sect would definitely send an early stage Gold Core Realm cultivator and a Qi Refining Realm cultivator.
As for the Surging Waves Sect and the Soaring Flower Valley, they didn't have more middle stage Gold Core Realm cultivators, so they would at least send one early stage Gold Core Realm cultivator, or two or three at most. The remaining people would naturally be Qi Refining Realm cultivators.
In any case, since the Tianyi Sect had sent five people, the Surging Waves Sect and the Soaring Flower Valley naturally couldn't lose out.
Xia Ruofei didn't have any objection. Therefore, Chen Xuan and the other two immediately contacted their sects and asked them to come to the capital as soon as possible.
Everyone decided to set the location of the next stage of the test at Xia Ruofei's courtyard house for the sake of balance. At the same time, they also wanted to make Xia Ruofei feel more at ease.
Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha were the leaders of their respective sects, so they could make their own decisions. After weighing the pros and cons, they decided on the candidates and directly informed their sects so that the selected people could come as soon as possible.
However, Chen Xuan couldn't make the decision. He still had to report to his father, Chen Nanfeng, first.
After hearing Chen Xuan's report, Chen Nanfeng didn't raise any objections. He also agreed without hesitation that he would personally go to the capital.
After finalizing the candidates, the next step was to wait for everyone to arrive.
Including the people from the Star Picking Sect, there were a total of 17 people coming. Xia Ruofei also asked Wu Qiang to organize people in advance to thoroughly clean the guest rooms in the front yard and the middle yard to prepare for the reception.
Fortunately, Liu Haihutong's courtyard house was big enough, so it wouldn't be a problem to accommodate another 17 people.
Everyone had different distances to travel, but cultivators could travel very quickly at full speed. Therefore, everyone only needed to wait for two days at the latest.
Moreover, they wouldn't just wait for two days. Xia Ruofei, Chen Xuan, Ling Qingxue, Yu Xin 'er, and Mu Jianfei had all experienced that magical scene. Therefore, during these two days, everyone mainly sat down and discussed, hoping to find out the key information.
Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha also participated in the discussion.
Although they hadn't experienced the scene, they could still obtain a lot of information from listening to everyone's descriptions. Moreover, they had rich cultivation experience, which would be of great help in deciphering the secret of the token.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
After two days, the people sent by the three major sects had all arrived.
When Luo Qingfeng received Xia Ruofei's notice, he immediately flew over on his sword with Wang Shan, a disciple in the Qi Refinement stage.
Because he had to fly with Wang Shan all the way, Luo Qingfeng was also very tired.
However, he also successfully arrived at Liu Haihutong's courtyard house a day earlier.
After arriving, Luo Qingfeng basically took on the role of half a host, running around with Wang Shan in charge of receiving the guests.
This also saved Xia Ruofei a lot of trouble.
After all, these were all elites of the cultivation world. It was inconvenient for Wu Qiang to receive them. With Luo Qingfeng's status, it was quite appropriate for him to be in charge of receiving them personally. Even Chen Nanfeng didn't feel that he was being neglected.
In fact, Chen Nanfeng also arrived in the capital on the first day.
However, he flew over on his sword first. The other two mid-Aurous Core stage elders and one early-Aurous Core stage elder followed behind with a Qi Refinement cultivator.
After arriving at the courtyard house in the capital, Chen Nanfeng specially had a long talk with Xia Ruofei.
This time, Xia Ruofei didn't feel the invisible pressure. On the contrary, he could vaguely feel the goodwill released by Chen Nanfeng.
Of course, Xia Ruofei didn't completely let down his guard. After all, Chen Nanfeng should be one of the few people in the cultivation world who could pose a huge threat to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei even did the same as before. He tried his best to let Song Wei and Ling Qingxue stay with him. This way, if anything unexpected happened, he could immediately put the two of them in the Ring-Tu space for protection.
Chen Nanfeng, Mu Sheng, and Liu Mansha were all old acquaintances, so he wasn't bored. He made tea and chatted with his old friends in Xia Ruofei's courtyard house.
Before everyone arrived, Chen Nanfeng didn't mention that he wanted to listen to the song in advance. He was very patient.
The next day, after everyone arrived, Xia Ruofei brought everyone to the underground Movie Hall.
In addition to Chen Nanfeng, who was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, the Tianyi Sect also had two middle-stage Golden Core elders. They were called Shen Tianfang and Han Guangdi. Another early-stage Golden Core elder was called Wang Fan. Finally, there was a female disciple in the Qi Refinement stage, Xu Yurou.
On the Canglang Sect's side, two early-stage Golden Core elders, Muhua and Muhua Shan, came. Elder Muhua also participated in the last auction and had met Xia Ruofei once. The other three were all disciples in the Qi Refinement stage. The three of them were two men and one woman. Their names were Mu Jianran, Mu Jianbin, and Mu Jianping. These few should be the outstanding younger generation of the Canglang Sect.
On the Soaring Flower Valley's side, only one early-stage Golden Core elder came. He also participated in the last auction and had met Xia Ruofei once. The other four were all disciples in the Qi Refinement stage. Their names were Li Wan, Guo Ke, Liu Minmin, and Gao Xiaolan, and they were all female disciples.
In fact, all the disciples in the Soaring Flower Valley were female. It could be said that it was a forbidden place for male cultivators.
Xia Ruofei looked around with a smile and then said, "Seniors, Fellow Taoists, thank you for coming to the capital as soon as possible. Next, I will play a song. Just listen carefully. If you have any feelings after listening to it, please tell me honestly. Thank you!"
