"Ding …" The beautiful sound of the zither echoed in everyone's ears. It was like a breeze in a valley, like the sound of leaves in a bamboo forest, like the murmuring of a stream, or like the clear blue sky after the rain. It made people feel relaxed and happy.
On the Jade Pavilion, Liu Yaoguang was dressed in white. There was an incense burning in front of her zither. She closed her eyes and played the zither.
Even she herself seemed to be immersed in her own music, unable to extricate herself. Her beautiful eyes were tightly shut, and her long and black eyelashes seemed to show a strange trembling rhythm with every wave of her fingers.
Below the Jade Pavilion, there were more than a hundred rooms, and there were no more than a hundred guests. In each room, there was at least one person, and at most two. There was a fragrant incense burning in the room!
However, everyone, including Bi Pengfei, who had entered the Jade Light Pavilion to listen to the zither, seemed to relax a lot.
Because the steward of the Jade Light Pavilion kept silent, Bi Pengfei became very curious about Ling Dong's identity. As an outstanding member of the Imperial Family, the consciousness of struggle had been deeply ingrained in his bones since he was young! What he was most sensitive to was other people's identities!
They had always done things based on their identities and interests! This time, he saw Ling Dong's awe-inspiring side, but he couldn't figure out what Ling Dong's identity was. It made him feel as if a sharp thorn had pierced his heart, making him feel very uncomfortable!
Even though Master Liu's zither skills were extraordinary, Bi Pengfei almost didn't hear the first half of the zither. It wasn't until the second half that his heart calmed down. He temporarily forgot about that little bit of scheming, and even the tension and darkness of his entire life of scheming and scheming!
Liu Yaoguang's zither music gave Bi Pengfei an unprecedented peace of mind! At this moment, Bi Pengfei understood something. Perhaps this was the reason why Master Liu had such great influence in the Jade Light Empire's Imperial Family!
In contrast to Bi Pengfei's curiosity, Ling Dong's nervous heart had never stopped since he entered the Jade Light Pavilion.
From the moment Ling Dong entered the Radiant Jade Pavilion, he once again sensed the treasure he had sensed on the Courtesan Stage in South Mountain City over a year ago!
If Ling Dong didn't guess wrong, the treasure that attracted him was the Imperial Star Ring mentioned in the Imperial Star's annotation.
But this time, although the Imperial Star Ring attracted Ling Dong, his body's reaction was not as intense as last time! Ling Dong only felt his body heat up instinctively. The Gang Qi and Gang Combat in his body were slightly excited. He suppressed them with his Spiritual Energy and everything returned to normal!
Even when Master Liu Yaoguang, who was resting behind the scenes, came to the front of the stage, the Gang Qi inside Ling Dong's body was not that intense. The Star-controlling Ring seemed to be less attractive to Ling Dong.
"How do I get the Royal Star Ring?" Ling Dong began to consider this question when the sound of the zither rang out.
In order to obtain something, there were only four ways to obtain it: asking, trading, robbing, and stealing. However, Ling Dong pondered for a while. No matter which method it was, it didn't seem to be easy!
In terms of strength, Master Liu might look weak, but ever since Ling Dong's cyclone changed a year and a half ago, her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds to Xiantian Realm Level Nine. Now, she had taken some kind of elixir and miraculously advanced to the Earth Realm!
Liu Yaoguang's strength wasn't weak, and the strength of her guards wasn't bad either! Ling Dong sensed that there were two experts in the middle and late stages of the Earth Realm, and this didn't include the other martial artists who were guarding in the open or in the dark.
Therefore, it was very difficult to rob in the open or steal in the dark. As for asking for it, it was basically impossible, but trading was possible! As long as that thing wasn't too important to Liu Yaoguang, it should be possible to trade it, but the price was hard to say.
Ling Dong, who was pondering this question, gradually became engrossed in the sound of the zither as he listened to the distant zither music. What was even more strange was that, as Ling Dong was immersed in it, Liu Yaoguang's zither music actually triggered the Astrolabe in Ling Dong's consciousness.
The Astrolabe, which had been silent in the center of Ling Dong's consciousness, suddenly spun after Ling Dong was immersed in the sound of the zither. Then, it became extremely blurry and spun with the sound of the zither, either fast or slow.
Every time it spun, it would spit out more or less rainbow-colored light according to the strength of the sound of the zither. In an instant, that rainbow-colored light was greedily absorbed by Ling Dong's gray consciousness!
Every time it absorbed a strand of rainbow-colored light, Ling Dong's consciousness would strengthen at a speed visible to the naked eye. After absorbing four or five strands of rainbow-colored light, Ling Dong's consciousness actually expanded from a radius of ten meters to a radius of twenty meters in an extremely miraculous manner.
After discovering this strange situation, Ling Dong was so shocked that he almost exclaimed!
In an instant, his consciousness had doubled to a radius of ten meters. This speed was something that even a Heaven Star Border Realm powerhouse with the best cultivation method could only dream of!
This was the growth of Ling Dong's Sea of Consciousness after he was promoted to the Heaven-dipper Realm in his previous life. After he practiced the cultivation method that specialized in cultivating the power of the Sea of Consciousness, the growth of his Sea of Consciousness was less than two meters in radius!
Of course, this tortoise-like speed increase was related to the severe injuries that Ling Dong's consciousness suffered in his previous life. There were too many imprints of spiritual damage.
However, even so, the speed at which his consciousness increased to a radius of ten meters in an instant was unheard of!
Don't underestimate this ten-meter radius increase. Let's not talk about other aspects, just focus on the cultivation speed!
When Ling Dong's consciousness was ten meters in radius, Ling Dong estimated that it would take him one and a half years to cultivate from Xiantian Realm Level Eight to the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Nine!
Of course, this speed of one and a half years was Ling Dong's unique speed. This was Ling Dong's unique speed after he enjoyed the military wine, the unlimited supply of the Three Flowered Demonic Aura Pills, the cultivation method, the cultivation experience, and the huge boost to his cultivation speed in his consciousness!
If it was an ordinary martial artist who only had one or two bottles of pills in a year, it would take at least fifteen years to cultivate from Xiantian Realm Level Eight to the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Nine. Furthermore, the cultivation method couldn't be bad, and the person had to have a lot of perseverance!
However, when Ling Dong's consciousness reached a radius of twenty meters, Ling Dong was able to shorten one and a half years of cultivation time to one year, which was a full one-third increase!
This also meant that with the doubling of his consciousness, Ling Dong's cultivation would be able to reach the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Nine from Xiantian Realm Level Eight within a year, and he would have a chance to break through to the Earth Realm!
This was one of the obvious benefits of Ling Dong's consciousness being doubled!
However, this was under normal circumstances. It was a pity that Ling Dong had three Dipper Constellation Pills, and it would take him at least three years to reach the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Nine. Even with the effects of the Imperial Star's cultivation method, the Three Stars Set Moon, it would take him at least two years to break through to the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Nine!
However, what made Ling Dong happy was that the zither music was still going on, and the Astrolabe was still spewing out rainbow-colored light, slowly strengthening his consciousness!
There had never been a moment when Ling Dong was as eager as he was now. He wanted the zither to continue playing for a longer time, so that the incense that marked the time of the zither would burn a little slower, a little slower!
As long as he could hold on for another fifteen minutes, Ling Dong believed that his Sea of Consciousness would double in size, reaching a radius of fifty meters. The power of his Sea of Consciousness would be comparable to that of a Heaven Dipper Realm expert. At that time, even if he pretended to be a Heaven Star Border Realm cultivator, no one would suspect him.
However, Ling Dong helplessly discovered that apart from the initial rapid increase, the speed of his consciousness seemed to be getting slower and slower! Originally, absorbing a strand of rainbow-colored light could strengthen his consciousness to a radius of one to two meters, but now, absorbing two strands might not be able to strengthen his consciousness to a radius of one to two meters!
However, what made Ling Dong even angrier and more helpless was what happened next. A burst of laughter seemed to shake the heavens, interrupting the originally tranquil zither music, and also interrupting the strengthening of Ling Dong's consciousness!
"Hahahaha … This old man has recovered! It's been thirty years, and this old man's consciousness was severely damaged, but it actually recovered. The heavens have eyes, they have eyes! " In a room, an old man in a brocade robe suddenly stood up, and a majestic aura rose in the entire Nacreous Light Pavilion. As the laughter rang out, tears flowed everywhere.
"Consciousness power?"
"Heaven Star Border Realm cultivator?" When the laughter rang out, everyone was shocked. Even though some people were interrupted because of the zither music, they didn't dare to complain.
"Eh? Old Mister Gou has recovered? This little girl congratulates Old Mister Gou for recovering from your old illness! "While everyone was shocked, Liu Yaoguang, who was interrupted in the Nacreous Light Pavilion, was the first to speak!
"Hahahaha, yes, it's been thirty years. The injury to my consciousness has trapped this old man for thirty years! Today, I actually recovered from listening to the zither. Little Girl Liu, your zither skills can really be called the best in the world! "After the laughter, the old man with the surname Gou said!
"Old Mister Gou has recovered. This little girl's zither skills aren't good enough. Otherwise, Old Mister Gou wouldn't have to listen for five years!" At this point, Liu Yaoguang's faint smile paused. "However, Old Mister Gou's laughter was too long. Disturbing my zither is a violation of the rules of the Nacreous Light Pavilion. From now on, Old Mister Gou can no longer receive invitations!"
When the Heavenly Dipper Realm expert with the surname Gou heard this, his expression froze for a moment before a bitter smile appeared on his face. "That's true. This old man has indeed broken the rules and disturbed your Zither Immersion Realm. If this old man hadn't disturbed you, your Zither Skills might have improved by another level! Forget it, this old man will leave now! "
After speaking, the old man with the surname Gou turned and left. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "This old man is Gou Tianyu. If Lady Liu has any difficulties, feel free to come to the city's Southern Sky Jade Manor and leave a message!"
After pausing for a moment, his voice suddenly turned into a terrifying force that went straight to the soul. At the same time, a warning sounded, "I know that among all the zither friends, there are some who came for Lady Liu! I don't object to admiring Lady Liu, but if anyone dares to use force or any underhanded means, hmph! I will definitely pay a visit! "
After stacking these vicious words, a ball of green light exploded, and the Gou Tianyu flew straight into the blue sky and flew away!
At this time, the sound of everyone sucking in cold breaths and discussing could be heard.
"Gou Tianyu? The Soul Seizing Venerable Gou Tianyu from thirty years ago has been hiding here all this time? "
"Heavens … Lady Liu actually obtained a promise from the pervert who slaughtered the city for his son …"
"Ding …" Just as everyone was discussing, envious, happy, or surprised, Liu Yaoguang gently stroked the zither, and a clear sound shook everyone's hearts, instantly silencing everyone.
"The Young Mistress has been touched by the Dao of the Guqin today, and wishes to invite a soulmate to enjoy it alone …" A pretty maid came up and announced the news halfway, but was drowned out by the huge commotion below!
