As a player of the qinyin, to utilize its power effectively, the requirements for the instrument are high. It's not just an ordinary instrument used for listening to music; it is a weapon.
However, in all these days, she had noticed that such a weapon existed but had never seen it before. Therefore, even though she mastered the qin techniques, she never had the opportunity to employ them. Unexpectedly, today, Xia Zhiqing took out a qin, surpassing her expectations.
Baili Hongzhuang carefully examined the qin in Xia Zhiqing's hand. Three small characters were engraved on the qin - "Nine-tailed Qin!"
The appearance of the Nine-tailed Qin was exquisite, with incredibly intricate patterns that appeared delicate at first glance. Upon closer inspection, Baili Hongzhuang understood that the Nine-tailed Qin was not an ordinary instrument for playing music but rather a weapon.
Such a unique qin was extremely rare, and she never expected to encounter it within the ruins.
Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but think of the treasure she obtained in the ruins, such as the alchemy furnace and the Seven-colored Divine Bead. She had truly acquired a lot of precious items this time.
Xia Zhiqing noticed Baili Hongzhuang's gaze fixed on the qin but didn't say anything. A hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.
"Boss, don't you like this qin?" she asked.
Hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang snapped out of her thoughts and quickly replied, "No, I really like it. It's just that I've never found a suitable qin before. I didn't expect to come across one today. It's truly a pleasant surprise."
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang's satisfaction, a smile appeared on Xia Zhiqing's face.
"Boss, as long as you like it, I'm happy."
Xia Zhiqing immediately placed the Nine-tailed Qin in Baili Hongzhuang's hands. From the moment she obtained the qin, she had wanted to give it to Baili Hongzhuang. However, due to the circumstances, she planned to give it to her later.
She didn't expect that half a year would pass by in the blink of an eye.
"Thank you," Baili Hongzhuang expressed her gratitude.
Xia Zhiqing waved her hand. "Boss, between us, using the word 'thank you' would create a distance."
She had long regarded Baili Hongzhuang as her family. After spending such a long time together, Baili Hongzhuang had always been generous with her and had never been stingy.
After all, the precious pills Baili Hongzhuang had given her were worth a lot. Giving her a qin was nothing in comparison.
A radiant smile appeared on Baili Hongzhuang's lips. "Actions speak louder than words."
Just as Xia Zhiqing had said, there was no need to say much between them due to the bond they shared.
"Boss, I'll take my leave now. You've been traveling since you came out of the ruins, so make sure to rest well."
"You take care too," Baili Hongzhuang replied.
...
After Xia Zhiqing left, Baili Hongzhuang carefully examined the Nine-tailed Qin. With a gentle pluck from her fair hand, beautiful melodies flowed out. Baili Hongzhuang didn't use her elemental power, so the melody didn't possess any power, but it had a strong penetrating force.
In the neighboring room, Gong Shaoqing and the others heard the melody. They immediately knew that Xia Zhiqing had given the Nine-tailed Qin to Baili Hongzhuang.
They had already communicated about it before when they were outside the ruins, and giving the Nine-tailed Qin to Hongzhuang was the best choice.
During the night, Baili Hongzhuang sat in meditation and cultivated. Little Black, Little White, and the White Lion sat opposite her, also practicing cultivation. Little Black and Little White were now extremely dedicated to their cultivation, as the White Lion had already reached such a level, and they didn't want to be left behind.
