This was because he recognized the handwriting; it was written by his Sixth Martial Brother, Lu Ran.
No wonder he was so eager to come down; it turned out he had found a clue. It seemed there would be a good show tonight.
"Senior Sister, don't we usually hold the Yixian Assembly during the Azure Dragon Festival? Why is it brought forward to the fifteenth of the first lunar month this time?" By the river, a petite figure asked her Senior Sister.
"The Lantern Festival is lively with many people. Although the Azure Dragon Festival is also grand, the number of participants is not as many as the Lantern Festival. Master hopes that we will go down the mountain to experience the various facets of the world, and through playing music, feel the joys and sorrows of people."
This Senior Sister, who looked to be in her early twenties, had a beautiful appearance and elegant temperament. Looking at the river full of river lanterns, a hint of warmth appeared in her eyes: "The more people there are, the deeper our insights will be."
That guy should have already come down, right?
"Is there any difference?" The Junior Sister seemed a bit confused, as the music of Yixian Palace was as elegant as flowing water from a high mountain, not easily understood by the general public.
For ordinary people, listening to these tunes was less interesting than watching a play or acrobatics.
"Su Yan, you're here. The concert is about to begin; everyone is waiting for your heavenly music." A group of young people walked over, led by a young master of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed splendidly, like a scion of a noble family.
"It's Zhang Shi-xiong." Although the newcomer greeted politely, Su Yan's expression maintained a certain distance.
"My parents and uncles and aunts are very happy that you are performing down the mountain today. They are all together now, and the Martial Brothers from Hu Ji Peak also want to hear the beautiful music of Yixian Palace," the noble young master said with a smile.
"Mm." Su Yan nodded gently, with a hint of aloofness, then led her companions towards the central tall building.
Upon reaching the room, she excused herself by saying she needed to burn incense and fast before playing the zither, which made Zhang Gao and others leave.
"Congratulations, Martial Brother, you are about to win over a beauty. From now on, your sister-in-law will play the zither while you practice your sword, and your cultivation will surely greatly increase, and you will also be able to calm your murderous aura, with hopes of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm within a hundred years," Qi Lin came out to congratulate Zhang Gao.
"These are all unknowns. If I really marry Mei'er, then you can also enhance your cultivation and calm your murderous aura by listening to her zither music," Zhang Gao said with a smile.
Among the many cultivation methods, music cultivation holds a unique position, capable of both shocking the soul and assisting in healing and dispelling inner demons.
Especially in ancient times, music cultivators were the best partners for sword cultivators, helping them enter a state of emptiness and accelerating their cultivation process.
Nowadays, due to the excessive murderous aura brought about by long-term battles, music cultivation has become even more important for sword cultivators. Each time they return from the battlefield, they need a period of relaxation to prevent the killing intent within their bodies from getting out of control.
Although its status is still not as high as that of alchemy cultivators, it still enjoys a high reputation among cultivators.
Especially the music cultivators of Yixian Palace, although Yixian Palace has not entered the ranks of the five great Sects, it is closely behind, ranking among the first-class forces. If there is a music cultivator constantly playing the zither by one's side, the cultivation speed will definitely significantly increase.
"Fifth Martial Brother, we'll be counting on you then. The addition of a music cultivator will greatly enhance the overall strength of our Hu Ji Peak," Qi Lin said.
"The same to you, the same to you." Thinking of this scene, Zhang Gao also beamed with joy. "Also, Junior Brother, I've found the person you requested. She comes from a small Mu family.
She is a concubine's daughter, enchantingly beautiful, with a graceful figure and skin as smooth as water. She will be among the next batch of new Disciples to enter Chen Ming Peak."
"Thank you, Martial Brother. If things work out between Qin Yue and me, I'll definitely invite you and sister-in-law to the honored seats," Qi Lin said with a smile.
"It's not 'if,' but 'definitely.' Junior Brother, you are a dragon among men, a Kirin talent. Qin Yue isn't blind; how could she not see your excellence? In my opinion, you don't need to scheme against a good-for-nothing like Qing Feng," Zhang Gao said.
"It's always better to be steady. Although Qing Feng is not worthy of Qin Yue, he still holds some special place in Qin Yue's heart. I will not allow my woman to have other men in her heart.
Moreover, I lost face on the Great Sword Platform and was defeated by Martial Brother Zhao on the Sword Testing Platform. After two consecutive humiliations, if I don't teach him a lesson, I won't be at peace," Qi Lin said.
"Exactly. For us sword cultivators, the most important thing is to have clear thoughts and follow our hearts. Since he made Junior Brother uncomfortable, then let him repay it a thousandfold.
The new Disciples will soon be initiated. According to custom, the direct Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect will be responsible for guiding them for a period of time.
Qing Feng has never done this before, and this time he has broken through the Foundation Establishment stage, so he will definitely be on the list.
"At that time, whether he becomes infatuated with lust and suffers the consequences, or is utterly disgraced, it all depends on you, Junior Brother," Zhang Gao said with a smile.
"All of this is thanks to Martial Brother for finding the right candidate," Qi Lin responded with a smile.
"We are all fellow Sect members, so there's no need to be polite. Counting the time, Second Brother and the people from Chen Ming Peak should be arriving soon. Let's go down to greet Second Brother first, and then give Lu Ran an unforgettable memory," Zhang Gao suggested.
Qi Lin nodded in agreement, and the two immediately left together.
Inside the tall building, everyone had their own thoughts; outside the tall building, Qing Feng and his group also gathered one after another.
"Martial Brother, you're really early," Qing Feng said with a half-smile, looking at Lu Ran, who was the first to arrive.
There was still some time before the music assembly began, and the gate hadn't even opened, but Lu Ran was already standing there waiting.
"Indeed, the music of Yixian Palace is unparalleled in heaven and extinct on earth. If it weren't for the music of Yixian Palace being released, who knows how much we Immortal Sect Disciples would have to pay to hear it," Lu Ran explained.
"Do you really just want to hear the music early? Sixth Martial Brother, do you have other intentions?" Qing Feng's face held a playful smile.
"Of course, it's for the music. Where did your thoughts go? We are sword cultivators; our hearts are only for the sword.
Furthermore, Qing Feng, we cultivate through killing, but too much murderous aura can easily lead to qi deviation, so we need to alleviate this murderous aura, and among all methods, zither music is the most effective.
Yixian Palace is the number one music cultivation Sect in the world. Junior Sister has not been back from the battlefield for long, and Junior Brother has returned from the Thousand Lake World even more recently.
I am doing this entirely out of concern for you, and perhaps it can even bring you an opportunity," Lu Ran said solemnly.
"Concern?" Qing Feng's smile became more meaningful. "Martial Brother, just now by the river, I saw a river lantern, and the handwriting on it looks very much like yours, you know."
Senior Sister has been back for four months, and I have also returned from the Thousand Lake World for a month. I have long since adapted, so this excuse cannot fool anyone.
Lu Ran's smile instantly disappeared, and he quickly put on a fawning expression: "Junior Brother, I know you like to sleep. As your Martial Brother, of course, I must satisfy your hobby.
After a while, when the new Disciples are initiated, I will handle everything, and you can just sleep. How about that?"
Qing Feng's eyes immediately lit up. The Beast Taming Sect Disciples' mortality rate was already high, so the recruitment frequency was also very high. Basically, a batch of new Disciples would be recruited every ten years.
