Lin Qingyao grabbed hold of Ji Qing, this person hadn't even come out yet and he already wanted to rush up, if a little while later the person came out and he really rushed up, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Now anyone with eyes can see that they are together, and when the time comes, he will lose face, but she doesn't care, she just wants to listen to a high-ranking cultivator's teachings, and doesn't want to do anything that draws attention.
Another sound of the guqin rose, this time the sound was different from the previous crisp and pleasant one, but instead had a solemn tone.
The crowd of people, upon hearing this voice, immediately fell silent and dispersed, sitting down on the ground.
Lin Qingyao looked over and was about to sit down when Ji Qing suddenly threw a straw cushion at Lin Qingyao, who naturally caught it with ease and sat down.
Sitting on the cool stone bricks, somehow it feels a bit awkward.
Ji Qing and Lin Qingyao sat down side by side, on the other side of Lin Qingyao was a twenty-eight-year-old man with fair skin, who was using his peripheral vision to carefully glance at Lin Qingyao.
Lin Qingyao's beauty was born, today she wore a good dress again, naturally more beautiful than her previous rustic appearance.
People in the Cultivation Realm, although they also come in all shapes and sizes, but if we only talk about their facial appearance, then they are much better-looking than ordinary people, especially the female cultivators who have always placed great importance on their looks.
Lin Qingyao's appearance, placed in the cultivation world, although not extremely beautiful, is also not common.
At this moment, her eyes were misty and somewhat dull, blocking the originally bright and clear eyes like jade beads, making her whole person lose some of its luster.
However, although it is so, taking a closer look, Lin Qingyao's eyes have become this way, and instead, they bring a kind of strange mysterious charm.
Lin Qingyao was aware of the male cultivator beside her constantly sneaking glances at her, but she didn't say anything.
Firstly, others just took a look and didn't do anything excessive. Secondly, even if you dislike others looking at you like that, rushing over to argue with them is just about a glance, without any evidence or reason, and you're not in the right either.
Being stared at like this was still a bit unnatural, so Lin Qingyao leaned in closer to Ji Qing.
Ji Qing, although a robust young man, always put on an air of being a "small receiver", which made Lin Qingyao feel that being with Ji Qing wouldn't give her the kind of uncomfortable feeling that men usually brought.
Ji Qing still didn't know that in Lin Qingyao's eyes, he might not even be considered a "man". At this moment, his eyes were shining brightly, staring fixedly at the empty space in front of him, anticipating what would happen next.
The stone bricks on the empty ground in front suddenly moved.
Then suddenly a square stone platform emerged, about half a meter high, and could accommodate about two or three people standing sparsely.
Lin Qingyao thought to herself, this should be where Guqin Fairy will appear soon.
This is not over yet, the four sides of the stone platform suddenly rose several stone carvings, which are carvings of several spiritual beasts. The carvings are vivid and lifelike, especially the blazing bird, as if it's about to fly up at any moment.
Lin Qingyao had witnessed the methods of the cultivators and couldn't help but admire them.
A warm breeze blew in, and four people suddenly floated down from the air, standing at the four corners of the stage.
Everyone who came was wearing a goose-yellow, ancient-style skirt with a small waist exposed and half of their arms. At the wrist position, there were also semi-sleeves made of the same colored gauze material. Lin Qingyao had seen this kind of attire before. The two female cultivators from the Jade Maiden Sect who had clashed with Xiao Yuanji at that time were dressed in this way.
There were four people on the table, but no Xue Lian and her junior sister.
As soon as the four of them stood still, a pleasant sound came from the air. Listening carefully, it could be distinguished that there were flute sounds, piano sounds, and pipa sounds.
This tune seems to have a calming effect, and even Ji Qing, who had been fidgeting restlessly, sat up straight.
The sound of the melody became clearer and clearer, coming from afar, a person floated down with the wind, walking in mid-air as if strolling in a leisurely courtyard.
Lin Qingyao couldn't help but feel a little envious in her heart, when would she have such means?
It wasn't just Lin Qingyao, everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the person walking towards them from mid-air.
She wore a purple wide-sleeved dress with a high collar, slightly curled up like a blooming flower. Her black hair was styled like that of an immortal fairy, adorned with a three-colored jade hairpin in red, blue, and yellow. As she floated along with the wind, the hairpin gently swayed, its colors not overly dazzling, yet seemingly captivating one's soul.
In the girl's arms, a guqin was held upright, and at this moment, it seemed to be played casually, but the sound produced, along with the flute and pipa sounds, was an extremely beautiful and moving melody.
Lin Qingyao thought that this must be the Zither Immortal, and as everyone was talking about her, she also wanted to take a look at the Zither Immortal's beautiful appearance, so she fixed her eyes on her.
What a pity... Lin Qingyao shook her head in disappointment. From the two temples of Gu Xianzi's hair, a veil of the same color as her clothes was tied, and the veil was very long, hanging down to her neck, making it impossible for people to see her whole face.
Her forehead, hanging a deep purple hairpin, made of purple jade strings, in the middle position, is a slightly larger, inlaid in copper-colored flower border of bright purple gemstone.
Qin Xianzi's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat enchanting, with a pair of bright phoenix eyes that held an unusual charm.
Just by looking at this side of her face, Lin Qingyao already knew why everyone thought that Qinxianzi was born with a reckless fate. In fact, it was indeed the case.
Even Lin Qingyao herself felt inferior.
Actually, Lin Qingyao didn't need to be so anxious about this. When her cultivation level is higher, if she wants to adjust her appearance, it shouldn't be much different from that of Qinsuo.
Of course, Lin Qingyao didn't care much about her appearance either. Her appearance hadn't brought her anything good after all. Back then, she had this kind of appearance and was pursued by Zhao Zhang, who was infatuated with her and eventually married into the Zhao family...
Behind Qinxianzi, there were two more people, but these two people did not rely on their own cultivation to walk in the air, but were being carried by someone.
The one holding a white jade flute was indeed Wen Xue Lian, while the one hugging a pipa was her junior sister. The two of them stood on either side, with Qin Xian Zi protected in the middle.
After seeing Qinxianzi's appearance, Lin Qingyao felt a bit disappointed and unenthusiastic about the subsequent lectures, which didn't have as much anticipation as before.
Can't help but have some reservations in her heart, why make such a big fuss? Why not just get straight to the point, wouldn't that be simpler and more straightforward? Although it's said that women all love vanity and enjoy being the center of attention, as a cultivator, if one still pays so much attention to these things, Lin Qingyao feels that Qinxianzi isn't as extraordinary as she thought.
But since she had already come, leaving at this time was not Lin Qingyao's style.
"Twang!" The zither of Qinxianzi emitted a discordant note, and then the music stopped.
Xue Lian also removed the white jade flute from her lips, holding it with her slender hand, slightly drooping at her side, forming a beautiful arc.
Qin Xianzi let out a soft laugh.
This soft laughter was like a valley spring echoing, clear and pleasant to the ear. It didn't quite match her rather showy and coquettish outfit.
"Hmm..."
Qin Xianzi laughed and with a flick of her hand, a white jade lotus pedestal appeared on the ground. She swung her sleeve and sat down in a flowing motion.
Waiting for Qinxianzi to sit cross-legged and make preparations, he raised his head and saw that many male cultivators were staring at him with wide eyes.
Lin Qingyao curled up the corners of her mouth, was she here to talk about the way or just to show off?
Xue Lian took a step forward and opened her mouth: "Today, Master Qin has come to lecture, thank you all for coming to support him. I hope everyone will be quiet and listen carefully, don't disturb Master Qin!"
Judging by their appearance, Xue Lian and Qin Xianzi were about the same age. Yet at this moment, Xue Lian was calling Qin Xianzi "Shifu" (Master). In the Cultivation Realm, seniority wasn't determined by age, but rather by cultivation level. If that were the case today, Xue Lian would also be a Foundation Establishment cultivator and should have called Qin Xianzi "Shijie" (Senior Sister) instead.
Apart from direct seniors and juniors, others are ranked according to their cultivation level.
Before Xianzi built her foundation, Xue Lian really used to call Xianzi "Shi Jie".
Qin Xianzi waved her hand, and Wen Xuelian stood quietly on one side.
"Things in the world have two extremes, the extreme of yin and the extreme of yang. Taking yin and following yang is not possible, taking yang and following yin is also not possible; yin affairs are done by yin, yang affairs are done by yang. Doing and not doing are also yin and yang; thinking and not thinking are also yin and yang; acting and not acting are also yin and yang. The world's things are all yin and yang." Qinxianzi slowly began to speak.
Qin Xianzi paused for a moment and explained, "Humans have yin and yang, objects have two extremes, the Tao is naturally so as well. Those who cultivate the Tao cannot be overly good or overly evil, cultivating the heart also requires cultivating the body, one must not be biased."
Lin Qingyao was taken aback for a moment, not expecting that Qinxianzi would say something so useful as soon as she opened her mouth.
Although Lin Qingyao's impression of Qinxianzi was not particularly good, the words she spoke had triggered a deep thought in Lin Qingyao.
At this moment, beside Lin Qingyao, Ji Qing muttered softly: "A beautiful woman like you, speaking with such ambiguity, is almost as good as Master..."
Lin Qingyao's face turned black with anger, and in an instant, she didn't have any hope for Ji Qing anymore. This guy was just here to look at her face! He wasn't here to listen to the lecture at all!
He can think that way if he wants to, and even say it out loud, but Lin Qingyao thought angrily, not fearing that Qinxianzi would hear and trample him to death.
However, at this time, no one understood Ji Qing. Qinxianzi was conveying a truth about the balance of yin and yang through these words, while the people below were pondering her meaning.
Lin Qingyao gently shook her head and listened intently.
Qin Xianzi said that not only should one cultivate their body, but also their mind. Lin Qingyao was completely in agreement with this, and if she had heard Qin Xianzi's teachings earlier, she might not have been possessed by the heart demon and nearly died.
