The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 58 Luqiqin

"Junior sister, are you purchasing the spiritual weapon for the outer sect competition in half a year?" The receptionist sister said casually, leaving Chen Jinshu at a loss for how to respond for a moment.

The alchemy competition at Yaowang Peak hasn't started yet, but the outer sect competition is about to begin?
"Senior Sister, does this outer sect competition take place every year?"

"Not really. It's just that this year it's a little earlier because the Xuanming Cave Heaven is about to open, and the rankings of the competition need to be determined before the cave heaven opens."

Chen Jinshu suddenly realized that the competition started much earlier than she expected.

She was familiar with the outer sect competition. This competition was also the best opportunity for outer sect disciples to join the inner sect.

If the servants have reached the fourth level of Qi training, they can also participate and directly become outer disciples. If they are lucky enough to make it into the top 50, they also have a chance to become inner disciples.

However, such an opportunity is still too difficult for a servant, which is one of the reasons why Chen Jinshu wanted to work hard to break through the fourth level and become an outer sect member.

Of course, the pill competition is different from the outer sect competition.

The outer sect competition is for the disciples of the entire sect. All outer sect disciples of the main peak will participate, and the top 200 disciples will be selected to enter the Xuanming Cave Heaven.

Only the top fifty will receive rewards, unlike the Yaowang Peak Alchemy Competition where every participating disciple can receive a consolation prize.

However, the outer sect exam does not test one's skills but one's strength. The disciples who can get the top 200 places are undoubtedly the best in the outer sect.

Recently, many disciples from Wanbing Pavilion must have come to buy spiritual weapons in preparation for the outer sect competition in half a year, so the receiving sister asked this question.

If you want to use a newly purchased spiritual weapon smoothly, you need a certain adjustment period, which can be three to four months to half a year.

"I wonder if senior sister could recommend some spiritual weapons suitable for women?" Chen Jinshu said softly.

She already has a sword-type spiritual weapon, a white jade hairpin that she wears on her head, which can be transformed into a long sword when activated.

However, this spiritual weapon was specially used to conceal her appearance and cultivation level. She would not use it easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Okay! Come with me!" The senior sister who received Chen Jinshu was not surprised to hear this, and immediately welcomed her to the spiritual weapon area suitable for the middle stage of Qi training.

Soon, a large number of spiritual weapons of various types were placed in front of Chen Jinshu, including fans, silk ribbons, flutes, jade zithers, and so on.

Each piece is very exquisite, and under the special lights of Wanbing Pavilion, it flashes with various colors of fluorescence.

"I wonder what spiritual root Junior Sister is cultivating?"

"Wood Spiritual Root."

"Is Junior Sister good at music?"

"I can only play a little bit of the guqin." Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu recalled the guqin he had learned during his family's clan school period and said modestly.

After all, the Chen family is a foundation-building family, so they attach great importance to the clan studies of their disciples, especially female cultivators. Because they will marry into other families in the future, they must learn all four arts. Otherwise, how can they be selected by other foundation-building families?
The original body was ugly at that time and had low self-esteem and was sensitive inside, but he was willing to marry and wanted to change his fate, so he learned the four arts quite well.

It can be said that he is good at all the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is particularly good at playing the music, to the point of being proficient in it.

However, she hadn't practiced the piano for many years, so she didn't dare to be so arrogant as to say that she was proficient in it.

"Well then, Junior Sister, would you like to take a look at this cedar harp? It's made from the trunk of a hundred-year-old cedar, and the strings are made of five-hundred-year-old green silk from a silkworm. When you play the harp, snow will fall all around, which will slow down the enemy's speed to a certain extent. The transformed string blade has the power to penetrate ice." The senior sister enthusiastically introduced the snow-white spiritual instrument with faint golden patterns in front of her.

When Chen Jinshu saw Xuesongqin, he was indeed attracted by its beautiful appearance.

But she took into consideration that her wood spiritual power was mainly for healing, and this zither had an ice attribute.

Maybe it's not suitable for her.

And it may look good but not practical.

Seeing Chen Jinshu's hesitation, the receptionist immediately understood and introduced the second zither, the Wutong zither.

The material used was the valuable century-old phoenix tree, which, while primarily wood, had a slight fire element. Although her spiritual roots contained fire, her aura lacked the attack power of fire, hindering the true power of the phoenix harp.

Then the senior sister introduced two more guitars to her, but Chen Jinshu was still a little dissatisfied with both.

"I wonder if Senior Sister has any special skills that focus on wood spiritual power and also have certain healing abilities."

Chen Jinshu immediately put forward his own conditions, that the spiritual weapon should be suitable for him.

"Healing? Junior sister wants to minimize the damage to her spiritual power."

"That's right." Chen Jinshu nodded.

Her purpose was simple, which was to use less spiritual power when using spiritual weapons, and to slightly repair injuries incurred in battle while playing the piano.

By continuously consuming the opponent in this way, the chances of winning are greater.

She was going to participate in this outer sect competition and was going to get into the top 200.

It should be noted that the vast amount of resources in Xuanming Cave Heaven is far incomparable to those outside. Some rare items are only found inside, and there are not many cave heavens with such a low mortality rate.

"So, there happens to be a mid-grade spiritual weapon that was refined by the senior brother of the inner sect of Yanlie Peak last month. It was a minor mistake in refining the top-grade spiritual weapon, so the grade was lowered a bit, but the power is still at the top grade."

"The key is that this spiritual weapon has a chance to be repaired and become a high-grade one. When the harp wielder activates it, it can slightly heal injuries."

The receptionist sister took her to a spiritual instrument zither that was full of green light. The entire body of the zither was willow yellow in color, translucent, and wrapped with solid vines, outlining ancient patterns.

"This zither is called Luqi! It's forged from a combination of paulownia and zelkova wood that's over five hundred years old. It feels soft to the touch, and the tone is rich and full, full of rhythm."

"I wonder if Junior Sister is satisfied?"

"Lüqi?" Chen Jinshu murmured softly when he heard the words.

This Luqiqin is not simple. It is one of the four famous qins in the history of her life when she awakened her wisdom. Its tone and material are both unique.

"Could it be fate that I came across this zither?"

"I wonder how much this Luqiqin is worth?" Chen Jinshu asked with some interest.

"After all, this Luqiqin is a downgraded top-grade spiritual weapon. Although its price is not as high as that of a top-grade spiritual weapon, it is still much higher than that of an ordinary mid-grade spiritual weapon. One hundred and fifty spirit stones, is it acceptable to Junior Sister?"

"One hundred and fifty?" Chen Jinshu was shocked by the price.

An ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training would need at most ninety spirit stones to use a spiritual weapon, but now it costs sixty more spirit stones. It is not just expensive, it is a sky-high price.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister. This is just the list price. Sect disciples have their own discounts. How about I charge you 110 spirit stones?"

Chen Jinshu thought about it and felt that the price was acceptable.

Just as she was about to bid again, the senior sister said, "Junior sister, do you still have concerns? My Wanbing Pavilion can give you a scroll of musical notation. How about that?"

"Thank you so much." After hearing this, Chen Jinshu no longer hesitated and made the decision immediately.

The price of a volume of musical score in the market is not low, especially the musical score of the musical score practitioners in the world of immortal cultivation, which is not easy to find.

Now you can get a scroll by just spending a few more spirit stones, which is worth it.

Chen Jinshu took the music sheet and looked at it. He saw the words "Crane Crying Among the Pines" written on it.

　The heroine decided on the main spiritual weapon, the spiritual harp.
