Chapter 842: Chapter 842 Cultivation is Personal
Li Li and Qing Pu weren’t particularly fond of music. They had only activated their Music Magic as a ans to practice every Magic Attribute. Consequently, after playing music for nearly an entire day, both of them were feeling restless and impatient.
Wen Xuan, on the other hand, had felt a surge of emotion after being taunted by Qing Pu and beca sowhat impetuous, eager to prove himself.
Yellow butterflies circled above the four covers again, finally landing at the edge of Qin Sisi’s cover.
The other three were taken aback and instinctively halted their ensemble. They all considered themselves stronger than Qin Sisi and couldn’t believe the yellow butterfly had chosen her in the end.
In fact, their Magic Levels were all above Qin Sisi’s, and Wen Xuan’s musical accomplishnt was indeed a bit higher than Qin Sisi’s.
But the state of mind affects the performance of music, and their slightly hasty notes ultimately failed to move the yellow butterfly, which had chosen the more tranquil and elegant notes of Qin Sisi.
As the first to complete the task, Qin Sisi wasn’t as excited as one might expect. She slightly tilted her head back, gazing at the beautiful butterfly and revealing a soft smile on her lips.
Even though she had already attracted the butterfly, she did not stop playing. Her slender fingers continued to slide across the strings of the Half Moon zither, as the graceful zither music trickled out like flowing water.
The yellow butterfly then quietly settled above the cover, seemingly listening to the beautiful and enchanting music.
Wen Xuan was the first to snap back to reality. He quickly put the wooden flute to his lips again, blowing a series of smooth notes to keep up with Qin Sisi’s rhythm and continue playing.
Li Li resud playing the reed pipe as well, and Qing Pu also picked up the wooden mallet to continue striking the chi bells. The four of them played the Floral Butterfly Dance in full collaboration before stopping.
Qin Sisi hopped out from her transparent cover and said to the three still inside, "Let’s keep going; there can’t be just one butterfly around here."
Wen Xuan and the others nodded. To complete the course task, they temporarily united, cooperating and playing the Floral Butterfly Dance in unison.
Mr. Chen Song watched these students working seamlessly together and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
With Qin Sisi and the others’ persistent efforts, several more beautiful butterflies eventually flew over, swirling around the transparent covers in dance.
Concerned they might beco restless again, Qin Sisi deliberately slowed down the zither playing to control the entire piece’s tempo.
Having all activated their Music Attribute, Wen Xuan and the others understood music well and quickly grasped Qin Sisi’s intentions. They imdiately slowed their pace to match hers, maintaining a calm and even state of mind that allowed the piece to flow as placidly as deep, still waters.
Since Qin Sisi’s cover was now empty, the butterflies mainly fluttered above the other three covers, with two even continuously circling around Qin Sisi.
After fluttering for a while, the butterflies gradually settled down. Fortuitously, every one of the three covers had butterflies resting on them, and two even landed on Qin Sisi’s shoulders.
Suppressing their joy, they played the piece to the end before they erupted into joyful cheers.
Wen Xuan, Qing Pu, and Li Li also jumped out of their covers, and the four of them walked over to where Teacher Yirou was.
Perhaps having heard their cheering, Teacher Yirou stepped out of the room just as they approached and sighed, "I saw everything. Your performance was passable, but as for those few, I’m at a loss."
The five students who had not yet activated their Music Attribute were still struggling with the drums in their hands, but no matter how hard they tried, the snake next to them, like a highly spirited guardian, simply refused to sleep.
Qin Sisi thought for a mont, then walked to the outside of Xiao ng’s transparent cover and reminded her, "Xiao ng, don’t be afraid. Calm your heart and follow the rhythm on the stone slab to play the drums."
Trembling, Xiao ng glanced at the snake beside her and said with a woeful face, "Sister Sisi, how could I not be afraid?"
Qin Sisi recalled the ti when she had been forced to play music for the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python; she had been very afraid at the beginning, so she could understand the feelings of Xiao ng and the others.
She raised her voice encouragingly, "I activated my Music Attribute while playing music for a snake, and I stayed with that snake for three days and three nights. It didn’t harm
at all. As long as you focus on playing the music and don’t harm it, it definitely won’t harm you. Trust , first calm your heart."
Wen Xuan also walked over to An Yun and Chu Ming to offer serious guidance and advice.
Ya Ling stood alone inside her cover, pouting her lips. Seeing her looking quite pitiful, Qing Pu went over to comfort her and guided her on drumming.
Under the guidance of Qin Sisi and their peers, the drumming of these five students improved significantly. The five snakes moved their bodies cheerfully in rhythm with the drumbeats.
An hour later, as the drumming of Xiao ng and the others gradually began to feel musical, Yi Rou ca over and asked Qin Sisi and the others to leave first.
A master leads you to the door, but practice is up to the individual.
Yi Rou had already given specific requirents and had instructed Qin Sisi and the others to provide guidance, but the rest was still up to them.
After returning to the Tianyue Mountain dormitory, Qin Sisi did not go to the trial tower for practice but instead stood alone on the grass of Tianyue Mountain and earnestly played the piece she learned that day, "Floral Butterfly Dance," over and over again with her Half Moon zither.
She was naturally fond of music, and she rembered Wen Xuan saying that although Music Magic was difficult to master and wouldn’t offer high returns in the short term, the power could be trendous once one reached a higher level.
If one’s own strength was powerful enough, and the timing was just right, defeating thousands with a one-man stand was not impossible.
So, Qin Sisi decided that she would need to invest more thought and effort into Music Magic in the future.
Mastering Music Magic was not just about improving her own strength, but it was also to repay Teacher Yirou for her cultivation.
By now, she had realized that Yirou didn’t make her play music for the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python for three days and three nights as a punishnt, but rather to lift her up.
It was during that process that she activated her Music Attribute and gained so insight into Music Magic.
Plus, she could see that Ye You had great respect for Yirou, and of course, she wanted to stay in step with Ye You.
Qin Sisi kept practicing until late into the night, only to see Xiao ng and Ya Ling return to Tianyue Mountain utterly exhausted.
Ya Ling didn’t even glance at Qin Sisi and went straight back to her room.
Xiao ng, on the other hand, approached Qin Sisi proactively, saying weakly, "Sister Sisi, Music Magic is too difficult."
Qin Sisi consoled her, "It’s not really difficult. Once you activate your Music Attribute and gain so understanding of music, it won’t seem so hard."
