"It should be a fight. Back then, a disciple bullied me and I gave him a good beating. Then … he was expelled."
Gu Qingfeng clearly remembered the memories of his youth in Yunxia School. That was because it contained many of his firsts. The first time he cultivated, the first time he breathed, the first time he fought, the first time he had a Dao companion, the first time he had dual cultivation … Until now, these memories were still hidden in the depths of his mind.
On the other side, Ouyang Ye looked at him suspiciously. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or not. She asked, "Are you lying to me again? Didn't you say you were born with divine strength? If you really were born with divine strength, then the instructors of our Yunxia School would definitely fight to take you in as a disciple. Why wouldn't they let you be a handyman? "
"How should I put it …"
Gu Qingfeng had indeed picked a lot of wild fruits from the trees on the side of the road. Perhaps he was a little tired from the fight just now, so he sat down on the ground and ate the wild fruits bite by bite. He replied, "My situation is a little complicated. You won't understand even if I explain it to you."
"I don't understand? Humph! I'm an inner court disciple of Yunxia School. I've read a lot of books since I was a child. I know more than you. "
Ouyang Ye snorted and asked, "Do you dare to let me check your situation?"
"Up to you."
He didn't know how many years it had been since he had eaten such bitter wild fruits. After eating them for a while, he was really thirsty. It was really refreshing.
Ouyang Ye walked over and held Gu Qingfeng's wrist. She released a wisp of divine sense and carefully checked him.
However, after this check, the expression on her delicate face suddenly became bewildered. This was because she found that Gu Qingfeng didn't have a Spirit Root at all, and … and also didn't have a Dantian. His meridians were even more tangled and complicated.
No Spirit Root! No Dantian, and his meridians were in disorder.
This …
This kind of situation would only happen if one failed to build a Foundation!
As an inner disciple of Yunxia School, Ouyang Ye knew very well that when one reached the Xiantian Realm, they would encounter the first threshold of the path of cultivation, which was the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Only after successfully reaching Foundation Establishment can one continue to practice Cultivation. On the other hand, if one fails to reach Foundation Establishment, one's innate Spiritual Root will collapse, and one's Dantian will lose its life force. It will gradually wither until it disappears, and one's Qi passageways will be damaged. And that's only the lightest of injuries. If one is unlucky and fails to reach Foundation Establishment, one may die on the spot.
In this world, failing to build one's foundation was a very common thing. The reasons were very complicated. Some people's foundation was not stable, some people's foundation was not stable, some people's foundation was not stable, and some people were too eager for quick success. There were too many reasons that could lead to failure.
Wait a minute!
If this guy failed to reach Foundation Establishment, how could his body be so strong?!
Ouyang Ye continued to check the situation in Gu Qingfeng's body. The more she looked, the more she felt her scalp tingle. His Qi passageways were in disorder, like the roots of an old tree. However, what surprised her was that although his Qi passageways were in disorder, they were strangely open. Moreover, all the Qi passageways in his body were unobstructed. What was even more frightening was that Gu Qingfeng's bones were very strange. His root bones were harder and thicker than ordinary people's.
Could it be … could it be a mutated body?
Yes!
It must be.
The so-called mutated body usually referred to the failure of building one's foundation due to an unstable foundation. The strong spiritual power would destroy the innate spiritual root in an instant, and the Dantian would also lose its vitality. However, the disordered Qi passageways would be unusually open due to the impact of the spiritual power. Moreover, all the Qi passageways in the body were unobstructed, which led to the mutation of the bones. Therefore, the body was so strong and had infinite strength.
Although the mutated body's physical body was strong and had infinite strength, and all the Qi passageways in the body were unobstructed, because the spiritual root had collapsed and could not sense the spiritual aura, it was like having no nose and could not breathe. The Dantian would dry up and disappear, and it would be impossible to absorb spiritual aura. From then on, it would be impossible to cultivate. Therefore, the mutated body was also called the Useless Body of Foundation Establishment.
There were very few people who failed to reach Foundation Establishment and had a mutated body. It was even rarer than some legendary treasured bodies. Of course, although it was rare, it did not mean that it did not exist. There was one in Yunxia School, and now she encountered another one.
"So you are the Useless Body of Foundation Establishment … Oh, no! It's a mutated body, I … "
After confirming that Gu Qingfeng was the Useless Body of Foundation Establishment, Ouyang Ye looked at him with less anger and more pity. Although she had not reached Foundation Establishment, she had seen many people who failed to reach Foundation Establishment over the years. She knew very well what it meant to fail in building Foundation Establishment. Even if there was a mutation during the Foundation Establishment and a mutated body with infinite strength, it would be impossible for them to cultivate again.
"Mutated body?"
Gu Qingfeng did not know whether to laugh or cry. He really did not expect that the little girl would find a troublesome mutated body after searching for half a day.
No spiritual root?
Gu Qingfeng did not have a spiritual root, because he did not need a spiritual root to sense the spiritual aura. With one breath, not to mention spiritual roots, even immortal roots and immortals had to stand aside.
No Dantian?
Gu Qingfeng's Dantian had indeed dried up and there was no vitality. However, it did not mean that there was no vitality. On the contrary, every acupuncture point in his body and even his pores were his Dantian.
His meridians were in disorder and his roots were amazing?
This was not caused by a failure in building Foundation Establishment, but by a supreme body that he had painstakingly tempered with the Nine Nether Ancestral Fire after going through the trial of the Immortal Demon.
However, when he thought about how his Great Dao foundation had been destroyed, his Immortal Demon throne had been taken away, and he had been beaten back to his original form by the Heavenly Dao, the current situation of this mortal body was really similar to a mutated body caused by a failure in building Foundation Establishment.
Since this little girl regarded him as a mutated body, he was too lazy to explain anything.
"Hey, you look very weak. Why don't you take a Vitality Pill first?"
Ouyang Ye took out a white jade bottle from the storage bag at her waist, poured out an Essence Qi Pill and handed it over. After Gu Qingfeng thanked her, he quickly ate it. He was very weak now and needed to replenish his Essence Qi. This Essence Qi Pill really came at the right time.
"Your experience must have been very …"
A failure in building Foundation Establishment was almost equivalent to a cripple. They no longer had any value to the sect and would usually be expelled. Some people who failed in building Foundation Establishment were even ruthlessly kicked out by their families.
Looking at the disheveled, extremely miserable, dirty, and tattered hair in front of her, Ouyang Ye guessed that after failing in building Foundation Establishment, he must have suffered all kinds of hardships in the world. Especially when she saw Gu Qingfeng eating such delicious wild fruits from the roadside, this made Ouyang Ye even more sad. She had eaten these wild fruits from the roadside, but they were so bitter that she could not swallow them. However, he ate so much. He must be starving.
The little girl was a kind-hearted person. As she watched, her eyes began to moisten. She secretly wiped away her tears and said softly, "Don't eat these wild fruits. My aunt's manor is just ahead. I'll take you to fill your stomach first."
"Oh? That's good. "
After all, Gu Qingfeng had lived for hundreds of years. He had seen all kinds of living things in the world. Naturally, his eyesight was very sharp. How could he not see that the little girl pitied him? Originally, he was thinking of finding a place to take a bath and change into new clothes. Since the little girl pitied him, it would save him the trouble of going to other places.
The little girl was really kind. After learning that Gu Qingfeng had a crippled Foundation Establishment body, not only did her attitude become much gentler, even her voice became softer. Moreover, she took the initiative to take out the spiritual fruits from her storage bag. Originally, she wanted to ask about Gu Qingfeng's experience, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. He had already failed in building Foundation Establishment. If she asked about his experience, wouldn't it be the same as rubbing salt on his wound? Therefore, Ouyang Ye simply asked for his name.
In this regard, Gu Qingfeng was happy and at ease. He chatted with Ouyang Ye as they walked. Soon, they arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Although the mountain in front of them was not very big, it was very exquisite. They could faintly see the beautiful scenery on the mountain. At the foot of the mountain stood a huge stone tablet. The stone tablet was engraved with the words "Yipin Mountain Villa".
"This is your aunt's mountain villa? The scale is not small. "
Gu Qingfeng looked around carefully and found that the entire mountain range was covered by all kinds of arrays. There were arrays that gathered Spirit Qi, arrays that blocked out sound, and cooling arrays that blocked out the sun. Just maintaining the normal operation of these arrays consumed a lot of Spirit Stones every day.
There were many carriages parked at the foot of the mountain. Many people went in and out. They were chatting and laughing in groups of twos and threes. It looked very lively.
Following Ouyang Ye into the mountain villa, the spiritual energy inside was quite rich. Presumably, there should be a good spiritual vein under the mountain. Looking around, the scenery of the mountain villa was quite beautiful. There were birds singing and flowers fragrant. It was quaint. There were pavilions and pavilions. Moreover, there were many people inside.
"Why are there so many people …"
"Of course. Today, a music festival is being held in the villa. My aunt has invited many famous musicians. Even the most famous Master Wenzhu in the Qingyang Region is here."
"Musicians … So it turns out that they play with music."
There were ten immortal arts. Martial arts, spells, formations, talismans, and so on were all immortal arts. Music was also one of them.
Compared to the other immortal arts, it was more difficult to get started with music. It was even more difficult to master it. This thing had high requirements for talent and comprehension. It was a relatively cold immortal art. In addition, a beautiful music could cleanse the soul, make people happy, and forget their troubles. A music expert could also use music to frighten demons and ghosts.
Therefore, music had been highly respected since ancient times. It was suitable for all ages and was very pleasing to the eye. If a famous song could be played with a mood, it would definitely make people feel immersed in it. Accompanied by the music, it would make people feel like they were dreaming of the past. It was very memorable.
"And today, Master Wenzhu will play the famous song 'The Wind Rises Great Mountain'. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
'The Wind Rises Great Mountain?'
Hearing the name of this song, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but be surprised. He felt that this name was very familiar because one of the songs he created in the past was called 'The Wind Rises Great Mountain'. He asked: "Which song is' The Wind Rises Great Mountain '?"
"Of course it is the King's' The Wind Rises Great Mountain '. In this world, from ancient times until now, other than the King, who else could create such a soul-stirring song like' The Wind Rises Great Mountain '?"
Every time the Scarlet Firmament Sovereign King was mentioned, Ouyang Ye's beautiful face would always reveal a strong sense of worship and adoration. She leisurely said, "The Sovereign King moved unhindered throughout his life, leaving behind countless famous songs. However, his musical attainments had already reached a profound level, reaching a realm that ordinary people would not be able to understand. Although he left behind countless famous songs, many of them were too profound, and to this day, only a few people were able to play them completely."
After pausing for a moment, Ouyang Ye continued, "Even though the 'Wind Rises Over Green Mountain' was composed by the Sovereign King when he was young, and it doesn't require a high level of musical attainment, it's still not something that anyone can play. I've heard many people play 'Wind Rises Over Green Mountain', and there are many famous musicians among them. However, in our Azure Sun Region, only Master Wenzhu can perfectly play the essence of 'Wind Rises Over Green Mountain' …"
"Is that so?" Gu Qingfeng rubbed his chin and nodded with a smile: "Then I'll have to listen carefully."
"Listen carefully. When the song is played, listen carefully. You will feel as if you are there, as if you have returned to the ancient times and witnessed the mighty scene of the king using the song 'Wind Rises on Mount Daqing' to intimidate the heroes."
Ouyang Ye looked at him and said very seriously: "Although you failed to build your foundation, it was worth it to hear Master Wenzhu play 'The Wind Rises Great Mountain'."
"Isn't it just a musician? Is there a need to exaggerate?" Gu Qingfeng was speechless: "What? Do you think I will recover after I failed to build my foundation by listening to a musician play a song? "
"You … you are really ignorant! Humph! Master Wenzhu played the 'The Wind Rises Great Mountain', which was created by the King when he was injured. You should know that the King's Golden Elixir was destroyed, but he was much more miserable than you. In the end, he stood up again and returned to Great Mountain, killing the seven sects of Great Mountain! I want you to listen carefully so that you can experience the King's style. I hope you will not be discouraged by your failure to build your foundation … "
"Hahahaha! I have lived for so long, but I have never heard anyone play 'The Wind Rises Great Mountain' … "
Gu Qingfeng laughed heartily. When he was obsessed with music, he did write many songs. At that time, he would occasionally play a few songs on a whim. However, as he said, he had never heard anyone play his songs.
(I hope my old friend can collect more songs and give me a recommendation vote.)
