It was noon, and the sun was scorching hot.
Gu Qingfeng was riding a horse and strolling leisurely on the country road. From time to time, he would take out a bottle of wine from the storage bag at his waist and drink a few mouthfuls. His body swayed along with the horse. He glanced at Ouyang Ye next to him and couldn't help but tease her.
"I say, sister, you've been staring at me all the way. What's wrong? Do you like me or do you like me?"
If it was any other time, with Ouyang Ye's character, she would probably spit fiercely and then scold him for being shameless.
But this time, she didn't. Instead, she asked very seriously, "Who exactly are you?"
She really wanted to know this question, really wanted to know.
Because Ouyang Ye really couldn't figure it out. She also didn't expect that this guy's musical attainments were so unfathomable. Not only was he familiar with many tunes, but he was also able to play the concept of "Drunken Blue Sea".
That was the King's "Drunken Blue Sea". Even Master Wen Zhu, a musical master, couldn't play it. Even Su You, the musical genius she admired the most, couldn't play it. But it was played by this guy who failed to build his foundation.
If she didn't see it with her own eyes, Ouyang Ye wouldn't dare to believe it.
Even now, she felt that it was very unreal. It was really too unbelievable.
"Who am I …" Gu Qingfeng smiled playfully and teased, "If I said that I was Gu Tianlang, would you believe me?"
"Bah! You? You dare to call yourself my Prince Charming? " Ouyang Ye said disdainfully, "You think your surname is Gu and you can play the concept of" Drunken Blue Sea "just because you can play the concept of" Drunken Blue Sea "… Shameless!"
Gu Qingfeng laughed happily.
Looking at him, Ouyang Ye curled her lips and rolled her eyes. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart.
This guy is so mysterious. Who exactly is he?
He looks to be at most in his early twenties. Although he failed to build his foundation, one thing can't be denied. To build his foundation at this age, his spiritual root must be very good.
He also knows so many tunes.
His attainments in music were also ridiculously high.
Could it be that he came from an ancient musical family that had been passed down for hundreds of years?
Only those ancient musical aristocratic families with hundreds of years of heritage and deep musical foundations could nurture such an outstanding musical prodigy, right?
Perhaps he failed to build his foundation and couldn't bear such a huge blow. He also didn't want to face the cold eyes of his clan, so he snuck out on his own?
Yes.
Thinking about it, that should be the case.
After thinking it through, the way Ouyang Ye looked at Gu Qingfeng was no longer surprised and curious. Instead, it became more sympathetic and pitiful. He also felt that it was a great pity.
This guy had such high attainments in music that he could be called a genius. If he had succeeded in building his foundation, he would definitely have become a famous musician in the future. Unfortunately, he had failed in building his foundation and could no longer cultivate. Even if he could play the concept of 'Intoxicated by the Blue Sea', it was limited to that. If he couldn't cultivate, he wouldn't have spiritual energy. Without spiritual energy, he wouldn't be able to use spiritual arts, and he wouldn't be able to play many mysterious tunes.
It was really too pitiful.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Ye decided not to ask any more questions. He didn't want to expose other people's scars.
"Hey, you've been clamoring for me to take you to Yunxia School. What exactly do you want to do with my school?"
"Didn't I tell you? I'm going to find that old man Huo De to talk about the old days."
Gu Qingfeng wasn't lying. He didn't have many friends when he was young. Zhenren Huo De from Yunxia School could be considered both a teacher and a friend. Even though that old man was very wretched and ate, drank, and gambled, Gu Qingfeng still respected him deep in his heart. After leaving for so many years, he really did want to meet this old man who was both a teacher and a friend.
There was another important reason. Yunxia School was the school that had initiated him on the path of cultivation. It carried many memories of his youth. Now that so many years had passed, he had to go back and take a look.
"Do you really know Elder Huo De?"
Ouyang Ye was a bit suspicious, but it was only a suspicion. She knew that Zhenren Huo De often liked to wander around and made friends with people from all walks of life. Thinking of this guy's great musical attainments, she asked, "Did you know Elder Huo De from listening to you play?"
"That's not it … When I met that old man, even food and clothing were a problem. How could he be in the mood to study something as grand as music?"
Gu Qingfeng casually took out a spirit fruit from the storage bag at his waist and ate it. The storage bag belonged to Ouyang Ye. When she left First-grade Mountain Villa, she specially asked for one and took a lot of delicious food with her so that she could eat and drink on the way.
"I met that old man Huo De through gambling." Thinking of gambling, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help laughing and said, "Speaking of which, that old man still owes me a lot of gambling debts."
Hearing this, Ouyang Ye almost believed it because Elder Huo De was famous for liking gambling. In this world, as long as it was something that could be gambled, there was nothing that the old man wouldn't gamble on, from as big as an ancient magic weapon to as small as a spirit stone.
"By the way, how is that old man Huo De's cultivation now?"
"Cultivation? Of course the old man is in the Jindan Stage. "
"Still in the Jindan Stage?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but be startled. Thinking back to when he was still in diapers, this old man was a famous Jindan Stage master in the Qingyang Region. Carefully calculating, he had cultivated in this world for 200 years. Later, he ascended to the Heaven Realm and cultivated for another 200 years. After the catastrophe of the heavens, he slept for another 100 years. It had been 500 years. How could this old man's cultivation still be in the Jindan Stage?
"What do you mean by still in the Jindan Stage?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Ye was a little unhappy and said, "Do you think that cultivation is easy? There are four stages and twelve realms in cultivation. Which stage and which realm can't be cultivated thoroughly to break through? Just like the first stage of Foundation Establishment, if the foundation is not stable and you blindly break through, it will only … "
Ouyang Ye didn't finish the rest of his words. He just said softly, "The Jindan Stage is the critical point of the second stage. Naturally, you have to cultivate thoroughly. Elder Huo De has only been in the Jindan Stage for 500 years. Many seniors have stayed in the Jindan Stage for thousands of years and didn't dare to break through. What's so strange about this?"
In this world, there were four stages of cultivation and twelve realms.
Cultivator Stage: Acquired, Connate, Foundation Establishment
Immortal Stage: Real Body, Zifu, Jindan
Dao Master Stage: Primordial Spirit, Taoist Heart, Dharma Form
Earth Immortal Stage: Great Success, Origin Returning, Tribulation
The reality was just as Ouyang Ye said. One had to be careful when breaking through each realm. Otherwise, it would be a waste of effort, especially at the last realm of each stage. Once one failed, it would mean the end of one's cultivation path.
Many people, even if they succeeded in Foundation Establishment, did not dare to enter the next stage in a short period of time. This was because if they blindly established their Real Body and did not establish it properly, it would only drag down their future cultivation path.
Similarly, after cultivating the Jindan, very few people would step into the next stage and condense their Primordial Spirit in a short period of time. This was because if the Primordial Spirit was not condensed properly, it would only lead to the destruction of the spirit during the tribulation in the future.
Of course, everyone had different views. For example, when Gu Qingfeng was young, he was almost always on the edge of his life. He didn't think too much about it. As long as there was a chance, he would break through. Now that he thought about it, it was really a miracle that he was able to survive and cultivate all the way until he finally succeeded in the tribulation.
"I remember that your Yunxia School has five Elders of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, right? How are they doing now? "
Gu Qingfeng vaguely remembered that Yunxia School was the largest cultivation sect in the Qingyang Region. The Elders of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth in Yunxia School were even more powerful experts.
He had a good relationship with old man Huo De, but it didn't mean that he had a good relationship with the other four Elders. Not only did they not have a good relationship, on the contrary, when he was young, Gu Qingfeng once regarded the other four Elders as his enemies.
"The Elders of Five Virtues are all very good …"
"Is that so?" Gu Qingfeng smiled and asked, "Is that Elder Mu De still so pedantic? Does he only have eyes for the aptitude and spiritual roots? Does he ignore the disciples with poor aptitude and weak spiritual roots? "
Ouyang Ye was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"
"How do I know? Haha … "
Gu Qingfeng smiled and didn't say much. Speaking of which, he was full of resentment towards Elder Mu De. When he entered the school that year, he clearly passed the assessment. However, because of his poor aptitude and weak spiritual roots, he was rejected by Elder Mu De. Elder Mu De even said that if one's aptitude and spiritual roots were not good enough, there was no hope for cultivation.
"What about Elder Jin De? That old man is very shrewd and only has interests in his eyes … For his own interests, he can be said to be unscrupulous. "
Among the Five Virtues of Yunxia School, besides Elder Mu De, there was also Elder Jin De who left a deep impression on him. When Gu Qingfeng was working as a handyman in Yunxia School, he had beaten up the old man Jin De's disciple and almost died at the hands of this old man. If it weren't for Huo De, Gu Qingfeng thought that he would have died at the hands of that old man Jin De.
"You … How do you know so much about our Yunxia School?"
Ouyang Ye really couldn't figure out why this guy knew so much about the nature of the Elders.
Gu Qingfeng smiled and didn't say anything. He asked again, "What's the name of your Elder Jin De's disciple? When he was young, he relied on his aptitude and was very arrogant … What's his name? "After thinking about it, he really couldn't remember the name of the guy he had beaten up.
"Are you talking about Deacon Guangyuan?"
"Yes! Guangyuan! That's him! "
Gu Qingfeng patted his head and asked with a smile, "That guy is still alive?"
"Hey, Gu Qingfeng, although I hate Deacon Guangyuan's behavior, in the end, he is the Deacon of our Yunxia School. Can you not speak ill of our Yunxia School's seniors in front of me?"
"Hahaha!"
Gu Qingfeng raised his head and drank the wine in the pot in one gulp. He couldn't help but laugh, "Since they're all alive, that's good … I'm looking forward to meeting those guys."
