The Legacy Melody of the Immortal Qin

Li Jiudao glanced outside the courtyard, where the weather was fine, and the sunlight was perfect. He suggested playing the qin (a traditional Chinese musical instrument) in the courtyard.

"I'll help you move the qin, sir!" Lu Liang volunteered and went to the shop in front. The qin table was at the back of the shop.

Without much thought, he raised his hand to lift both the qin and the table. However, his expression quickly changed, and his eyes flashed with an unusual light.

The qin table seemed connected to the earth, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift it. It was too heavy, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

"Why am I so foolish? The qin played by Senior Dàn is obviously not an ordinary one!" He scolded himself.

Senior Dàn used the legendary bow, the Xuan Yuan Bow, which was one of the ten great imperial treasures. Even without thinking too much, Lu Liang should have realized that the qin Senior Dàn played wouldn't be ordinary.

Yet, he had thought about touching such an extraordinary and transcendent qin. He was just being foolish!

Embarrassed, he stepped back and said to Li Jiudao, "The qin you're going to play, sir, is obviously not an ordinary one. I dare not touch it for fear of damaging it. How about you take the qin, and I'll help you move the table?"

Afraid of damaging the qin of the senior? As if!

Next to him, Wen Wuyou couldn't help but laugh heartily, feeling quite amused. He had already anticipated that Lu Liang would face difficulties. How could a qin played by Senior Dàn be anything ordinary? Lu Liang had volunteered, making himself a target for trouble.

But he enjoyed watching Lu Liang's predicament, especially since Lu Liang had tried to steal his porridge earlier.

How valuable could a qin used by mortals be? Li Jiudao was speechless and thought that Lu Liang was being overly cautious. Did he really think that Li Jiudao would make him compensate for something?

However, since Lu Liang had said so, Li Jiudao didn't want to argue any further. "Then, please, sir."

He went into the shop and brought the qin to the courtyard, while Lu Liang moved the qin table.

Xia Yan, being considerate, brought some chairs and allowed Li Jiudao to sit first, and then they all sat down.

Li Jiudao placed the qin on the table, and Wen Wuyou, Lu Liang, and Xia Yan all focused their attention on it.

This was clearly an antique qin, exuding an ancient charm and possessing a unique natural aura. The warm sunlight illuminated the strings, creating a splendid halo.

The qin had a beautiful and delicate design, and after Wen Wuyou and Lu Liang examined it closely, they both had expressions of disbelief and exchanged glances.

"Is this the legendary Immortal Qin—Yi Yin?" Wen Wuyou's heart was turbulent as he stared at the special characters engraved on the ancient qin, filled with astonishment.

He didn't recognize the characters, but he could guess. It was the character '仙' (immortal)!

During the ancient times, it was rumored that an immortal qin had fallen from the immortal realm, shaking the world's powerful beings. Saints and sages couldn't remain calm, and even the emperors fought for it, causing turmoil in the world.

It was a historic battle recorded for posterity, but there was no record of who ultimately possessed the immortal qin.

Wen Wuyou found the ancient qin familiar, and after careful consideration, he realized that this was indeed the Immortal Qin Yi Yin, just as recorded in ancient texts!

At first, he couldn't be sure, and he didn't dare to be certain. But later, he sensed a trace of the immortal dao aura from the special characters on the qin.

It was an aura that surpassed all other paths and was faintly infused with eternal resonance!

He was now certain that this was indeed the Yi Yin Immortal Qin, and not a replica! How could one replicate an eternal resonance? It was impossible!

That was an exclusive aura possessed by immortals, as well as the ultimate goal of all cultivators' efforts!

The emperor's realm was the pinnacle of the world, but it couldn't achieve eternity, still subject to the constraints of time. Only by transcending that pinnacle and breaking the limits to become an immortal could one achieve eternity!

"I was actually thinking of moving... an immortal qin?" Lu Liang inwardly chuckled. He must have gone mad. It was unthinkable for him to even consider it. He was lucky that the immortal qin didn't directly suppress him!

He had also recognized the qin's origin, matching exactly with the ancient records. The character '仙' (immortal) on the qin further confirmed its origin beyond any doubt.

Wen Wuyou had come to satisfy his curiosity, and Xia Yan wanted to get close to Wen Wuyou, hoping to enter the Tai Hua Sect with his help. Li Jiudao felt the need to impress to avoid losing face and to assist Xia Yan.

He thought about what tune to play and didn't notice the expressions on Wen Wuyou and Lu Liang's faces. Otherwise, he would surely wonder why two powerful cultivators were so interested in this ordinary item.

"At this time of spring, as winter departs and spring arrives, the earth awakens, and all living things flourish. I will play the tune 'Yang Chun Bai Xue' (Bright Spring White Snow)," Li Jiudao said with a smile, deciding on the tune.

'Yang Chun Bai Xue' not only had a good meaning, but it was also cheerful and melodious, making it perfect for the occasion.

He extended his slender and graceful fingers, stroking the strings as if flowing like clouds and water, resembling an immortal playing the qin, ethereal and sacred.

The melodious and enchanting sound of the qin filled the air, captivating Wen Wuyou, Xia Yan, and Lu Liang. They were completely absorbed in the music, as if they saw the earth awakening, and all living things thriving.

"Is this tune specially played for me, sir?" Wen Wuyou was deeply moved and overwhelmed.

His time was limited, and he had at most a year to live. Now, he felt the vigorous breath of life in the music, a clear sign that Senior Dàn was helping him!

Wen Wuyou thought about Senior Dàn inviting him to share his meal. Even the porridge contained a strong life force that had extended his lifespan significantly!

Senior Dàn must have noticed that his time was running out...

"Senior!" Wen Wuyou's eyes welled up with tears, and he couldn't help but shed a few drops. How could he, with his humble abilities, receive such care and assistance from a powerful Senior?

"Senior's great kindness will be forever etched in my heart!"

"I won't let Senior down!"

He quickly calmed his mind, focused, and earnestly contemplated the philosophy within the music.

On the other hand, Li Ji

udao had completely merged with the qin, immersing himself in the music. He disregarded everything else and concentrated on playing the qin.

This ancient qin had also been a reward from the system after his qin skills reached the "Transcendent to the Divine" level. Each time he played the qin, he delved deep into it, blending with the ancient instrument and its melody.

Xia Yan and Lu Liang were equally moved, and they didn't dare to hesitate. They followed Wen Wuyou's example and focused their minds, earnestly contemplating the philosophy within the music.

For them, this was an incredible opportunity, and they cherished it immensely, wasting no time.

Xia Yan had the lowest cultivation level, so her understanding was limited, and she quickly ended her contemplation. She knew that she couldn't continue; the later parts of the qin melody were too profound and astounding for her.

If she insisted on continuing, not only would she fail to gain insight, but she might also harm herself.
