Yu Qing Qian’s eyes instantly lit up when she heard Feng Chen’s words.
On this continent, Spiritual Plant Masters needed to form contracts with spiritual plants, however, due to the change over time, many high or low-level spiritual plants were found by Spiritual Plant Masters and contracted, or taken away and collected by powerhouses, so gradually, there came a shortage of spiritual plants. This phenomenon was getting more and more serious.
If a Spiritual Plant Master wanted to contract a spiritual plant, finding one was actually the most difficult thing.
As a result, many powerhouses on the continent began to explore other ways and studied contracting demonic plants, but ultimately, they still failed to replace the mainstream and ninety percent of the people gave up.
After all, although the number of demonic plants was huge, but they were different from spiritual plants. They were ferocious in nature and were difficult to subdue, not to mention that forming a contract required special methods or techniques.
The Grand Elder of the Holy Academy studied the method of forming a contract with demonic plants and was already extraordinary to be recognized by other powerhouses which must mean that this Grand Elder must also be very powerful.
All of Yu Qing Qian’s experience when she initially became involved in contracting demonic plants came from the black book. She had to explore many areas on her own. But if she could discuss with that Grand Elder, then maybe some of her confusion would suddenly clear up.
“Does that Grand Elder have many contracted demonic plants?”
Feng Chen replied: “I heard that the Grand Elder once summoned more than ten demonic plants at once to fight. The details aren’t clear, but there’s definitely more contracted than spiritual plants.”
“Then that’s good, what I need is to be able to contract groups of demonic plants.” Yu Qing Qian’s eyes narrowed in a smile.
Feng Chen reminded: “That Grand Elder has a very weird temperament. Not only do you have to thoroughly understand the method and be able to cultivate its first three chapters, but you also need to be able to be pleasing to their eye, otherwise it’d be difficult to get close.”
Yu Qing Qian chuckled: “But this is also the only good way. No matter how eccentric their temper is, as long as I can please their likes then I believe I can always impress them.”
“Mm, this is the only feasible method right now.” Feng Chen rubbed the teacup, feeling that Yu Qing Qian could definitely catch the eye of the Grand Elder.
Yu Qing Qian’s eyes unintentionally glanced at the musical instruments and a smile spread on her lips. She looked up at Feng Chen and said: “Sick Beauty, you should be able to play the qin right.”
Feng Chen raised an eyebrow: “How do you know I can play the qin?”
He didn’t know how to play the qin when he was a child, but when he was nine, he discovered a qin score that was useful for suppressing poison. He gradually began to learn the qin and then gradually fell in love with it, but he never played it in front of Yu Qing Qian.
It wasn’t that Feng Chen wanted to hide it from Yu Qing Qian, but that there was no chance to perform for Yu Qing Qian at the Royal Academy.
“I guessed.” Yu Qing Qian smiled even deeper. So it turned out that this guy really knew how to play the qin—ancients’ words never deceived me1.
Yu Qing Qian saw these musical instruments just now and just suddenly thought of those costume dramas she had watched before the apocalypse, in which many of the protagonists could play the qin, so she asked Feng Chen on a whim.
Feng Chen leaned close to Yu Qing Qian’s ear and asked in a very sexy and somewhat bewitching voice: “Want to hear it?”
Yu Qing Qian felt a slight tingling sensation in her heart and nodded: “I want to hear it.”
“Then I’ll play it for you.” Feng Chen had always accepted Yu Qing Qian’s requests completely and satisfied them unconditionally.
Yu Qing Qian kissed Feng Chen hard on the face and said, “The child is teachable, I like it.”
Feng Chen released her in amusement, stood up, walked over to the gu qin, and tried the strings.
Then he gradually became immersed, and a melodious and affectionate qin sound filled the room and lingered.
Feng Chen was dressed in white, sitting in front of the guqin, plucking the strings with his slender fingers; a beauty like jade, pleasing to the eye, as if an ethereal fallen immortal who wasn’t stained by the mortal world, extremely seductive.
Yu Qing Qian held a cup of hot tea and kept her gaze on him the entire time, with a scorching temperature hidden within her eyes.
1I baidu’d it and found that it is an idiom one says to show their respect, affirmation, and approval for the ancient people, usually for their knowledge. Not entirely sure if it’s the most suitable to be used here, but eh, I’m not the one writing this novel hahahaha. I think it’s just used here to refer to how YQQ remembers that in those costume dramas, they can all play the qin, so obviously Feng Chen can too XD.
