This elimination and selection mechanism can be described as very harsh.
There are nearly a thousand islands in the Xihua Islands, and on each island there are many people who want to go up and get a better way out. However, the Nine Saint Island Trial Battle is only held once every fifty years, which shows how rare this opportunity is.
.
Qin Xuan finally understood why Qin Zhu would attend this piano gathering.
How could he not fight for his own future?
"Qinzhu came to see senior for help, but his adoptive father is not the master of Qianqin Mountain. He is also a strong man in the Emperor realm, and his strength should not be much different from that of senior. Why not go to his adoptive father directly?" Qin Xuan was a little confused.
asked: "Qianqin Gudi, you should do your best to help him, right?"
"Old Emperor Qianqin will naturally help, but with one more person, there is more certainty of victory. The trial battle is too difficult. There are countless competitors. No one knows what will happen at that time." The Purple Emperor explained.
.
"That's it." Qin Xuan suddenly realized in his heart.
Suddenly, Zi Di looked at Qin Xuan seriously and asked, "If I guessed correctly, you should have a musical heart, right?"
Qin Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he was a little shocked. He didn't expect Zi Emperor to see that he had a heart for the piano so quickly. It was really not easy.
"How did senior find out?" Qin Xuan asked rhetorically, but in fact, he admitted it indirectly.
"It seems I guessed it right!" Zi Di showed a proud smile on his face and said: "You don't know how to play, but your music can convey my emotions. This only proves that you have the heart of the piano.
You can integrate your own emotions into the sound of the piano, but most people can't feel it because it's too subtle."
Qin Xuan trembled inwardly when he heard this. So, Zi Di noticed the hatred he vented when he played. Is it because of that emotion that he wanted to see him?
Fortunately, Qin Xuan thought of a countermeasure in time, hinted at his relationship with the Donghuang Dynasty, and reasonably explained the source of the hatred in his heart. In a short period of time, the Purple Emperor should not doubt the authenticity of his words.
After all, the Xihua Islands are far away from Donghuang Island. People from Donghuang Island would not come here for no reason, and the Purple Emperor could not find any clues.
"I loved playing the piano when I was young. I often listened to the elders in my family playing, and gradually I developed a passion for the piano. Unfortunately, I can't play." There was a hint of regret in Qin Xuan's tone, as if he was a little regretful.
A strange look suddenly flashed across Zi Di's eyes. He glanced at Qin Xuan and asked with a smile: "Want to learn?"
Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Zi Emperor blankly.
"Although I don't dare to call you a master of piano skills, I do know some piano skills. I still have some piano scores and ancient books that I didn't throw away. If you really want to learn, I can lend them to you to read.
." Zi Di showed a cunning look: "However, as a condition, you have to promise me one thing."
"Would you like to learn the art of piano?" Qin Xuan's eyes couldn't help but brighten when he heard Zi Di's words. He naturally wanted to practice the art of piano, but it was a pity that he never had a suitable opportunity.
Now, the Purple Emperor happened to give him this opportunity, and of course he wanted to seize it.
"What conditions?" Qin Xuan looked at Zi Emperor. Zi Emperor had a weird personality, and the conditions he proposed were probably not what ordinary people could think of.
"I want to take a gamble on you. If you do it, the music scores and ancient books will be considered as gifts from me. However, if you lose, you have to stay with me and serve me for twenty years. How about that?" Zi
The emperor had a bright smile on his face, and his expression was like that of a thousand-year-old fox, exuding a sense of scheming.
"..." Qin Xuan's face twitched. With this condition, no matter what, Zi Di would not suffer much loss.
Those music scores and ancient books were no longer of much use to the Purple Emperor, and they were all shelved. However, the Purple Emperor was too shrewd to gamble with him on this condition.
"Are those piano scores worth my gamble?" Qin Xuan did not respond to Zi Di's words, but asked an unrelated question.
"That's natural. I can even guarantee that as long as you have enough understanding and read those books, it may be a little difficult to reach the level of Qin Zhu, but at least it will be better than the average Qin cultivator, and even better than your level today.
More than a hundred times stronger!" Zi Di said with an extremely confident expression.
Qin Xuan looked at Zi Di with disbelief, were those books really so powerful?
But after all, the Purple Emperor is also a powerful emperor of the generation, so he shouldn't be able to fool a younger person like him, right?
"If only Master would have given me books back then, I wouldn't have been reduced to borrowing books from others today." Qin Xuan felt a little bitter in his heart. Qin Mo's only disciple actually borrowed books from an emperor-level figure.
It’s really a bit miserable!
However, Qin Xuan also understood the master's intention.
If the master really wanted him to learn how to play, there would definitely be countless books for him to read. This is because the master has very high expectations for him and hopes that he can find his own path to the piano, so that he can learn how to play the piano in the future.
Achievements will also be higher.
But now, there is no other way.
I hope he can borrow those books to enter the door of the qin way, and then realize his own qin way.
"Senior only told me about the bet, but he didn't tell me what exactly he was going to do." Qin Xuan said calmly.
"Let's not mention this matter for now. I will tell you when the appropriate time comes. But you can rest assured that I am a kind man and will never let you do anything harmful to nature." Purple Emperor responded.
"A kind man..." A strange look appeared on Qin Xuan's face. Why did he sound so strange in this sentence?
"Take it." The Purple Emperor waved his palm, and immediately several rays of purple light shot towards Qin Xuan. Qin Xuan stretched out his hand to catch the rays. There were five books in total. He glanced at these five books roughly.
Four of them are about how to play, and the remaining one is a piano score.
Obviously, these five books were deliberately selected by the Purple Emperor. Knowing that he could not play, he chose four introductory ancient books.
"I will only give you one month for these books, and I will take the initiative to send them to Ziyunxuan after one month." Zidi looked at Qin Xuan and said calmly. He was not worried at all that Qin Xuan would leave Xuanyue Island with these books and leave behind him.
A member of the Donghuang clan would not do such despicable things.
Moreover, Qin Xuan still needs his help, making it even more impossible for him to leave.
Qin Xuan's eyes flickered, and he looked at the Purple Emperor and said tentatively: "So, the Purple Emperor has agreed to help the seniors participate in the trial battle of the Nine Saint Islands?"
Zi Di rolled his eyes at Qin Xuan and said, "You have a good idea."
Qin Xuan's expression suddenly froze, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
"I asked Qinzhu to go back and wait for news. Naturally, I won't agree to it easily. Otherwise, how will I face Emperor Qianqin in the future."
Zi Di glanced at Qin Xuan and said in a casual tone: "You should go back and wait for the news. I will give you an answer in a month."
"Okay." Qin Xuan nodded and left Qingxin Hall without saying anything else.
Not long after Qin Xuan left, a beautiful figure came to Qingxin Hall, it was Xiyue who had left before.
"Master, you seem to be very optimistic about that person." Xiyue looked at the Purple Emperor and said, there were only two people approved by the Purple Emperor, and the person she mentioned was naturally referring to Qin Xuan.
Recalling what happened before, Xiyue's beautiful eyes couldn't help but reveal a strange look. Even now, she can't forget the sound of the piano when Qin Xuan played it. The sound was really 'unforgettable'.
"I'm not optimistic about him. I was just somewhat interested in him at first. I didn't expect that this boy is from the Donghuang clan, so I found him even more interesting."
The Purple Emperor smiled faintly: "The people who came out of the Donghuang Dynasty are really proud and unparalleled. They don't look down on anyone. Even me, a strong man in the Imperial realm, he doesn't seem to have much awe."
"He is from the Donghuang clan?" Xiyue's delicate body trembled slightly when she heard the word Donghuang clan, as if she heard extremely incredible words.
That arrogant young man is actually from the Donghuang clan. Is this his confidence?
"The arrogance in him is very similar to mine back then. I like it very much." Zi Di's eyes showed a hint of admiration.
Very few people on Xuanyue Island know that the Purple Emperor's origins are also very ordinary. He has experienced ridicule and humiliation from countless people, but he has made it step by step through his own efforts and has become the respectful title Purple Emperor among countless people.
However, this long-past time did not happen on Xuanyue Island, and Zi Di never mentioned it to anyone later. Even Xi Yue did not know about Zi Di's past.
In Qin Xuan, Zi Di seemed to see his former self, full of hatred and anger, wanting to prove himself at all costs.
Xiyue listened quietly, but she had different thoughts in her heart.
Even though this young man from the Donghuang clan had an extraordinary background, he was too sharp and domineering, as if he was the only one who dominated others, making it difficult for people to like him.
In contrast, she is more optimistic about Mr. He Tingzhu, who is handsome, humble and courteous, gentle and elegant. His piano skills are the best among the younger generation, and his martial arts strength is also not weak. He can be called an all-rounder.
If it were her choice, she would choose the latter without hesitation.
It's a pity that she is not the master and is not qualified to make decisions for him.
"But the master can only help one person after all. If he helps him, how should he explain it to Qianqin Mountain?" Xiyue glanced at Zidi with her beautiful eyes and reminded him softly.
Qianqinshan and Ziyunxuan are the two major forces in Zhuzhen, and they have always been harmonious and friendly with each other. On weekdays, many disciples from Qianqinshan come to Ziyunxuan to drink and enjoy themselves. People in Zhuzhen all see this.
If the master rejects Mr. Tingzhu and chooses to help another person, I am afraid it will arouse criticism from many people.
Qianqin Ancient Emperor may also be dissatisfied because of this.
After all, the trial battle on Nine Saint Islands will affect the future destiny of a generation on Xuanyue Island. It is extremely important and is not an ordinary competition.
"I will consider this matter carefully." Zi Di said, a deep meaning flashed in his bright eyes.
He couldn't see clearly the interests involved, but he admired Donghuang Yu very much and didn't want to give up just like that.
