Chapter 1308 Repairing the Strings of Sound
"This is Daoist Fellow Zhu Wujiu, the Flame Immortal of the Xuanhuo Sect."
Feng Qingshu knew that Chen Mobai didn't know him, so she introduced him.
[It was indeed him. ]
After listening to this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly as a greeting.
"I have long heard of the name of the Green Emperor of the East Wasteland. He is the best weapon refiner in the five continents and four seas. I have always wanted to see him with my own eyes. I wonder if I can fulfill my wish today?"
After Yan Zhongxian returned the gift, he asked this question.
"Oh, what do you mean, Senior?"
Chen Mobai raised his eyebrows, somewhat puzzled.
"Can you repair this Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Harp?"
Yan Zhongxian went straight to the point, which made both Fanyun Jushi and Li Yaoshi beside him look a little embarrassed, thinking that he was too direct.
"I can't say I can fix it 100%, I can only say I'll try my best."
Chen Mobai had long heard that Yan Zhongxian had a bad temper, and he found it to be true when he saw him today. Although the two had never met before, his hostility towards him was already naked.
It seems that I have snatched away his title of the best weapon refiner in the world, which makes him very unhappy.
However, Chen Mobai has a broad mind and doesn't bother with such people.
At this moment, Yan Zhongxian suddenly said: "It's not shameful if you can't fix it. After all, for tens of thousands of years, so many sixth-level weapon refiners in the five continents and four seas have failed to fix it."
As soon as these words came out, Feng Qingsu couldn't help but frowned, and couldn't help but scold: "Zhu Wujiu, this is Tianfeng Valley, not your Xuanhuo Sect, Fellow Daoist Chen is my guest!"
"Don't blame Brother Chen. Brother Zhu is not very good at talking." Pharmacist Li tried to smooth things over, while True Lord Dagu beside him followed Feng Qingsu in scolding Immortal Yan.
It is obvious that even though Chen Mobai is an outsider, his popularity is better than Yan Zhongxian, the native deity of Nanzhou.
"Brother Zhu, what you said makes sense, but I am a sixth-rank weapon refiner after all, and you are only a fifth-rank weapon refiner. You can just watch, and it is not your turn to give instructions."
Chen Mobai was not a gentle person. Since Yan Zhongxian took the initiative to provoke him, he no longer maintained a superficial smile and started to mock him with cold words.
"Hey, both the sixth and fifth levels are helpless against this zither." After hearing this, Yan Zhongxian chuckled, indicating that Chen Mobai, a sixth-level weapon refiner, was at the same level as himself.
At this moment, Chen Mobai's original plan to take it slow and wait until he was completely sure of the situation before repairing it suddenly changed: "Then open your eyes and see why I am level six, but you can only be level five!"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him curiously.
It looks like this Green Emperor of the Eastern Wasteland is going to repair the zither today!
"But there is resin from the sacred Chinese parasol tree, glue for bonding, and rhizomes from the sweet potato..."
Chen Mobai asked about several other materials, which Feng Qingshu basically had, because the previous sixth-level refiners had also thought about gluing the strings together. Although their attempts failed, these materials were left in Tianfeng Valley.
As for the roots and rhizomes of some other sixth-level spiritual plants, you can just pick them directly in Du Guangye.
"There are still remnants of the Great Dao of Music on this second broken string. I will replace it with the sixth-order red fire silk, and then glue it to the original string. This will lay the foundation for the second string of sound..."
Chen Mobai briefly explained the method he was going to use to repair it. Feng Qingsu nodded repeatedly after listening to him. This was exactly the same method that the sixth-rank weapon refiner from the Xuanhuo Sect had thought of eight thousand years ago.
"Ancestor Mu Xin has already tried what you said, but let's not talk about how to transfer and integrate the remaining Dao power in the broken string. Even if it can be done, without the continuous infusion of the Dao power of music, this string will be devoured by the string of fire over the years..."
Yan Zhongxian couldn't help but speak again. He felt that it was very good that Chen Mobai could think of this, but he was still inexperienced after all.
"You have to know that there is a difference between the sixth level and the sixth level. The reason why your Xuanhuo Sect's ancestor was a sixth level is simply because he can only be a sixth level. And I am a sixth level because the Tianhe Realm can only accommodate a sixth level."
Chen Mobai never has a good face when facing people who don't get along with him, and his words become more and more impolite.
"You are so arrogant, kid. I guess your method of repairing the zither was passed down by Yiyuan after he heard it in Tianfeng Valley..."
After hearing Chen Mobai's wild talk, Yan Zhongxian immediately began to suspect that his methods were plagiarized from his own ancestor.
At this time, Feng Lizhu had already brought the sixth-level materials such as Wutong resin according to Feng Qingsu's instructions.
Chen Mobai was too lazy to argue with Yan Zhongxian anymore, so he placed the materials one by one on the table in the Qin Hall to examine them. He selected the best quality ones and mixed them into a translucent glue with a sweet fragrance.
Then, he began to formally repair the piano.
First, he took out a roll of red fire silk, unfolded it, cut off the required length, and then cut it with his own sixth-level sword intent. This move made Yan Zhongxian, who was originally planning to give some advice, change his expression.
Under the threat of strength, and the past battle record of the Green Emperor of the Eastern Wasteland, Yan Zhongxian decided to keep his mouth shut and wait until he failed before starting to mock him.
Chen Mobai rubbed the fire silk strands one by one until they became a bundle of the same diameter as the original broken string. During this process, he continuously injected glue and wrapped and twisted it with extreme patience, because if he was not careful, all his efforts would be wasted.
Before, the Xuanhuo Sect's Patriarch Mu Xin failed three times at this step before he successfully plucked out a suitable new string.
But this is only the first step. Winding, fusing, shaping, tuning, etc. are all more difficult than the previous step.
Relying on the fact that he had refined the Dao Fruit from the Dan Ding Jade Tree, Chen Mobai was familiar with all the knowledge about the zither-related magical instruments. With his smooth operation, the first string of the zither was soon assembled in his palm.
This step also made Feng Qingshu, who had originally had no hope, look happy.
Yan Zhongxian was already nervous when he saw this. As the former top weapon refiner in the Five Continents and Four Seas, he still had the necessary vision and saw that the string made by Chen Mobai was more rounded and delicate than the one that Patriarch Mu Xin left in the sect.
From this perspective, the Eastern Wasteland Green Emperor before him is a well-deserved sixth-level expert in the art of making zither strings.
But since I have already taunted you, there is no way I can back down now.
"It's just luck!" Yan Zhongxian muttered.
At this time, Chen Mobai had already quickly completed the step of Upper Rank in front of everyone's astonished gaze.
After the new string was fixed, seeing that the Fire String next to it was lighting up with the light of the avenue and was about to invade, Chen Mobai suddenly stretched out his right index finger and gently pressed the Fire String.
After a clear cry, the Fire Phoenix Zither Spirit, which had shrunk back into the flames, finally flew out again from the flames.
Under Feng Qingsu's shocked gaze, the Qin Ling circled above Chen Mobai's head, then landed obediently on the latter's shoulder and intimately touched the latter's cheek with its mouth.
"This new string will take a long time to cultivate its spirituality again. You must control yourself and not let the Great Dao of Fire erode you, okay?"
Chen Mobai pointed to the new string he had just replaced next to the Fire String. Although he planned to set up a ban, if he could persuade the spirit of the Fire String, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Okay, master!"
Qin Ling nodded repeatedly and uttered a name that made everyone present open their eyes wide.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I just asked you to repair the zither, but I didn't say I would give it to you."
Feng Qingsu spoke up immediately. Although she didn't know how Chen Mobai had tamed this arrogant Qin Ling, she had to prevent her family's treasure from being abducted.
"It was Qin Ling who shouted it herself. I didn't let her shout."
Seeing Feng Qingsu's suspicious expression, Chen Mobai explained immediately.
Although the top-level sixth-order magic weapon is very powerful, he does not lack it, so there is no need to risk ruining his reputation. If it is a treasure for enlightenment, he can still consider it.
As for the reason why the zither spirit called out "master", Chen Mobai guessed that it was because he had used it too much on the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Zither. It might also be because when the string was broken during the Tribulation, his Danfeng Yuanshen was covered in the blood of the Phoenix.
But it was difficult to tell Feng Qingsu about these two reasons.
In order to prevent the spirit of the zither from speaking, Chen Mobai simply started the steps after winding the strings.
He wrapped the broken string around the new string, and then began to apply glue on the surface, but in fact he was practicing the Cantongqi to merge the two.
The skills passed down by Taoist Dan Ding did not disappoint Chen Mobai.
As Yan Zhongxian stared with eyes wide open and an expression of disbelief, the new string began to merge with the original broken string. During this process, strands of melodies like the cry of a phoenix rang in the ears of the gods, making them feel as if they were listening to immortal music and feeling relaxed and happy.
The former ancestor Mu Xin of the Xuanhuo Sect failed at this step. Even after trying several times, there was no sign of success.
However, now in Chen Mobai's hands, it was as easy as eating and drinking.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. This string of sound has been repaired. However, if I want it to be spiritual and comparable to the string of fire, it may take a long time to nurture it. Or the Phoenix Clan can train a cultivator who practices the great way of music..."
After Chen Mobai completed the repair of the second string of sound, he did not forget to set up restrictions to ensure that the spirituality of this string had space to be born. At the same time, he also gave instructions to Feng Qingsu.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen. You must be thirsty. I have the sixth-grade Wutong tea in Tianfeng Valley. It is most suitable for restoring consciousness and improving Zifu and Lizhu. Bring us the tea quickly!"
Chen Mobai never knew that Feng Qingsu's attitude could be so enthusiastic.
He thought that coldness was her synonym.
But could the sixth-grade Wutong tea be made from the leaves of the sacred Wutong tree?
It just so happened that Chen Mobai was practicing the Cantongqi at a high intensity, which consumed a lot of his spiritual energy, so he simply stopped what he was doing and waited expectantly.
By the way, let’s deal with the Immortal of Flame.
"By the way, when I was repairing it just now, I might have moved a little too quickly and my technique was a little too advanced. If you don't understand, feel free to ask me. I promised Chief Feng that I would give you some pointers."
Chen Mobai's words made Yan Zhongxian's face turn red.
Given his temper, he would definitely curse back at such a provocation.
But Yan Zhongxian really didn't have the face to scold.
Because the repaired String of Sound represents Chen Mobai's level as the undisputed number one weapon refiner in the five continents and four seas, even surpassing the ancestors of the Xuanhuo Sect.
If he were to curse, then what would he be if he was not as good as Chen Mobai, or even the ancestors of the Xuanhuo Sect?
"My fellow Daoist is very good at refining weapons, I am not as good as him!"
After a long time, Yan Zhongxian uttered these words.
"He's only one level stronger than you."
Chen Mobai's words made Yan Zhongxian even more ashamed and he lowered his head. He didn't even say goodbye to Feng Qingsu, but just covered his face and retreated.
Upon seeing this, Pharmacist Li shouted twice and even chased after him. It was obvious that the two had a good relationship.
"This old guy has finally met his day, hahaha!"
When True Lord Dagu saw this scene, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and True Lord Wuchen and Ao Yuxia on the side also laughed.
Obviously, Yan Zhongxian’s popularity is really bad.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I really don't understand the way you repaired the strings just now. May I ask for your advice?"
Mr. Fanyun, who really wanted to learn, finally couldn't help but ask after Yan Zhongxian left. For the sake of Yiyuan Zhenjun and Hunyuan Zhong, Chen Mobai nodded slightly and began to give selective instructions.
At this time, Feng Lizhu had already entered the Qintang with a pot of strong tea. Feng Qingsu poured a cup himself and brought it to Chen Mobai: "Daoyou, please moisten your throat and speak slowly!"
Chen Mobai drank the Wutong tea in one gulp and found that the taste was ordinary, but the strength was very strong. The loss of his spiritual power from practicing the piano was not only completely restored after taking this cup of sixth-level spiritual tea, but it even showed a tendency to reach a higher level.
He even felt that his consciousness was clearer, and his understanding of the great Dao seemed to be more acute.
Thanks to him, True Lord Wuchen and others also got a chance to drink.
"Fellow Daoist, I wonder when the next few strings will be repaired?"
Feng Qingsu waited until Chen Mobai finished drinking, then asked politely.
"This may be a bit difficult. At least at my current level, repairing a string of sound is already the limit." Chen Mobai did not brag. Although there was still a broken string due to calamity, that was the innate great way. The remaining power of the great way did not dissipate with time. With his mere cultivation level of a god, he could not use the Santong Qi to integrate it.
If you try to do it forcefully, you might end up getting backlashed by the Avenue of Disaster.
"That's it..."
After Feng Qingshu heard this, her radiant face turned disappointed again.
"But don't worry, Chief Feng. I already have some ideas on how to repair the other four strings of life, death, lust, and stars..."
Just when Chen Mobai said this, outside the Qintang, Li Yaoshi and Yan Zhongxian actually came back together, and the latter seemed to have been persuaded to come back by the former.
After hearing what Chen Mobai said, Feng Qingsu's face lit up again: "Daoyou, have you determined the other four avenues?"
