Gu Qingfeng was familiar with many tunes. Not only did it amaze Ouyang Ye, but it also made the Childe Chiyan that she made up seem a little more real. Of course, the most important thing was that her face was preserved, at least for the time being.
The little girl didn't get carried away because of this. She knew that a fake was still a fake. If this continued, Yun Hong and Ye Hui, those two annoying fellows, would definitely do everything in their power to test the authenticity of the song. At that time, if she were to give herself away, then she would lose a lot of face.
Therefore, Ouyang Ye took advantage of this opportunity to quickly bring Gu Qingfeng to another seat. However, as the music festival was about to begin, the venue was already overcrowded. There were only a few tables and chairs in the corner. Helpless, Ouyang Ye could only sit in the corner. Although the position was a little bad, as long as she could avoid Yun Hong and Ye Hui, those two annoying fellows, it was fine.
Gu Qingfeng didn't care. As long as there was food and wine to drink, it was fine.
"Thank you so much for just now. Come, let this young lady toast you."
Ouyang Ye was very happy and excited. Especially when she thought of the ugly expressions of those two annoying fellows, Yun Hong and Ye Hui, she wanted nothing more than to rush up and kiss Gu Qingfeng again. She drank the wine in her cup and asked, "I really didn't expect you to know so many tunes. It's really unbelievable … How did you do it?"
"How did I do it … How should I put it? I used to be addicted to music for a long time. During those years, I searched everywhere for music scores. After reading and listening to many tunes, I knew how to play them."
Speaking of which, Gu Qingfeng had learned music purely to win the favor of a woman. However, he didn't expect that he would become addicted to it. Back then, in order to search for all kinds of music scores, he had gone to many places. He had even dug up the cave abodes of some powerful people who were proficient in music.
"Hey, tell me honestly. How high are your musical attainments … What tunes can you play?"
"Musical attainments … That's really high … As for tunes … I can play many tunes … So many that even I don't know."
"Tsk, you really know how to brag!"
Ouyang Ye rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Do you think that just because you know so many tunes, your attainments are very high … Every tune contains many finger techniques, musical chords, and spiritual spells. Just learning a single finger technique takes a long time. There are also musical chords and spiritual spells … They all need to be comprehended … This is just a tune. A single tune contains many, many tunes. If you want to play the mysteries of a tune, you won't be able to play it without three to five years."
Since music was one of the Ten Arts of the Immortal Dao, it was naturally not that simple.
Just as Ouyang Ye had said, if one wanted to play a song with a profound artistic conception, not only would one have to learn various finger techniques and strings, one would also have to comprehend various spiritual techniques. The reason why music was called the coldest immortal art was because it was much more difficult to learn compared to martial arts, spells, and sword techniques.
Gu Qingfeng smiled but did not say anything. Looking at the crowded venue, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this Music Arts Conference for? Why hasn't it started yet?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's about to start."
"And then?"
"And then? And then everyone will go on stage and play … "
"That's it?"
"What else?"
"Everyone going on stage and playing some tunes is called a Music Arts Conference? What's the point of that? "
Gu Qingfeng could not understand.
"Hey, don't say that. This is a very good opportunity for us young musicians."
Gu Qingfeng was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Going on stage to play can increase your fame and your value. In the future, the price of playing a tune will increase, and it will be easier to earn spiritual stones."
"So that's how it is." Gu Qingfeng nodded and expressed his understanding. It was not shameful to earn money through music. After all, cultivation required a lot of resources. Buying elixirs, magical treasures, maintaining arrays, and so on required spiritual stones. Ordinary families could not afford it. Gu Qingfeng had also sold his music when he was lacking spiritual stones.
Gu Qingfeng asked with interest, "How much are you worth?"
"Me … Not much, just so-so. If I play a tune outside, people will pay me 1,000 spiritual stones …"
"1,000? So much? "
When Gu Qingfeng was young, it was the end of the ancient era. At that time, spiritual energy was sparse, and spiritual stones were very valuable. In his impression, 1,000 spiritual stones was definitely not a small amount in the secular world. However, he did not know if it was because of the cataclysm and the revival of all living things that caused the value of spiritual stones to depreciate. This girl's musical attainments were very high.
"Of course! I am quite famous in the Qingyang Region. "
"You have a high musical attainment?"
Gu Qingfeng could tell that the little girl's cultivation was only in the Innate Realm, and she hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. Although she was one of the best among her peers, that was all there was to it. Although the level of cultivation had nothing to do with musical attainments, musical attainments required talent. Moreover, as the little girl had said earlier, it was very difficult to play a piece of music with a mysterious artistic conception.
"I … My musical attainments are not very high. I can only say that they are so-so. However … I have a unique advantage. I can play two of the King's tunes with some mystery."
"You only played a little mystery, and you are worth 1,000 spiritual stones?"
Every piece of music contained many mysteries. If one could play it, they would be able to trigger a spiritual resonance. If one could play it, they would be able to dream of the past. What Gu Qingfeng couldn't understand was that this little girl could only play some of the mysteries of his music, but it was actually worth a thousand Spirit Stones. This was a little too exaggerated.
"What do you mean by only played a little mystery?" Ouyang Ye glared at him fiercely and said unhappily, "I played the King's tunes. The King's tunes are known as the most mysterious tunes in the world. They are also the most popular tunes of the present age. There are so many musicians present, but there are only a few who can play the King's tunes with mystery!"
Ouyang Ye said while eating melon seeds, "You know Master Wenzhu, right? He is the music master of our Azure Sun Region. He has studied the Sovereign King's songs for his entire life, but he is only able to play a dozen or so of the Sovereign King's songs. Moreover, in the entire Azure Sun Region, he is the only one who can play the Sovereign King's song, 'The Wind Rises on the Great Mountain'. "
"My … Oh, no … Gu Tianlang's tunes are not that difficult, right?"
Gu Qingfeng thought carefully. The tunes he created were a little strange, but they should not be that difficult.
Ouyang Ye gave him an uncultured and scary look and said, "I really don't know why you memorized so many tunes. You don't even know how difficult the Sovereign King's tunes are. I can tell that your musical attainments are not up to par. I advise you to practice more when you have nothing to do. Just memorizing so many tunes is useless. If you can't play them, what's the use?"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head and was speechless. When he was about to say something, the people in the venue suddenly became restless. Many people stood up and applauded.
What was going on?
"Master Wenzhu is here …"
Ouyang Ye stood up excitedly, raised his head, and clapped his hands warmly. He kept saying, "Master Wenzhu is the judge of this event. Hehe, if I can be praised by Master Wenzhu later, my value will skyrocket."
Since entering the villa, Gu Qingfeng had heard Master Wenzhu's name more than ten times. He also wanted to see who this legendary master was. He looked over and saw an old man walking in amidst the cheers of the crowd.
The old man had white hair and a beard. He was wearing a very clean robe, and beside him was a seven or eight-year-old purple-haired little girl.
Weren't they the old man and the cute little girl in the garden?
"He is Master Wenzhu?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ouyang Ye applauded warmly and nodded in response. "I heard that Master Wenzhu will choose an excellent young musician to play with this time … It would be great if I could play with Master Wenzhu …"
