Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"Zhang San, sonic mystical skills and techniques are very rare, and the practice of sonic mystical qi techniques requires a lot of talent in vocal music. If you don't have a talent in vocal music, even if your mystical qi cultivation is very high, it's unlikely that you will be able to practice sonic mystical skills..."

"Of those profound practitioners who practice sound wave profound qigong or profound skills, I'm afraid only one out of a hundred survives..."

Zhong Ming took over the conversation. Considering that Ye Fan and Liu Mengying might be secretly wanted, even though Ye Fan and Liu Mengying had disguised their appearances, he did not call Ye Fan by his real name.

"There are so many practitioners who are interested in vocal music and are willing to spend a lot of money..."

Ye Fan was quite surprised, because the entrance fee for this vocal competition was quite high, and it couldn't be bought with money alone. It required rare materials such as Xuanqi Stones or Talismans, especially for seats near the front row.

"Neither!"

Zhong Ming shook his head slightly. "Most of those Xuan practitioners don't understand music theory... They are not even interested in vocal music at all. They came here probably for the rewards of this vocal competition, the Xuanqi Stone and the Hou-level skills that a mysterious person gave to them through the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce as a reward!"

"Hou-level technique?"

Ye Fan frowned slightly, "Is this mysterious person so generous that he would give me a Hou-level technique as a reward?"

"Yes!"

Zhong Ming nodded. "The Hou-level technique that the mysterious man brought out is not an ordinary Hou-level technique. It is a wood-attributed Xuan Qi technique. Wood-attributed Xuan Qi is far inferior to gold-attributed and fire-attributed Xuan Qi in combat, but because it is very helpful in recovering from injuries, it is highly valued by doctors... High-level doctors have basically mastered the changes in wood-attributed Xuan Qi..."

"If my guess is correct, the Xuan practitioners who came to the scene either want to buy Xuanqi Stone from the winner of this vocal competition, or they are here for the wood-attributed Hou-level skills... Especially those who are doctors or have something to ask of doctors..."

Zhong Ming quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"This vocal competition is really extraordinary... The Black Moon Chamber of Commerce has come out to sponsor a lot of Xuanqi Stones... Now a mysterious person has also offered a wood-attributed Hou-level technique as a reward..."

Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but murmur.

"Actually, it's not like that... It's only like this in this vocal competition..."

Zhong Ming frowned and continued, "This is also what I am worried about... In the past, vocal competitions were just a place for vocal enthusiasts to exchange ideas and learn from each other... But this vocal competition gave me an awkward feeling..."

While Ye Fan and Zhong Ming were talking, another group of people came into the venue. Most of them were holding folding fans, wearing sachets on their waists, and dressed like scholars.

"I go…….."

Looking around, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a little surprised, because among the people who had just arrived at the venue, there were several people who looked familiar to him. They were Su Bingwen, Cao Wenxuan and others whom he had met at Qushui Liushang in Jiangzhou City.

"Brother, there is still some time before the final game starts, let's go for a walk~"

At this time, Liu Mengying came over, her face full of excitement, "Big brother, there are many interesting snacks at the venue, from all over the Mingyuan Empire!"

"Well, let's go~"

…………

Soon, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were strolling around the venue, chatting and eating various exquisite and delicious cakes.

"By the way, where did Axin go?"

Ye Fan, who was eating a piece of nougat, looked at Liu Mengying with an inquiring look.

"Sister Xin just said she had something to deal with and then left, so I don't have to wait for her!"

As she spoke, Liu Mengying pointed in a direction.

"That's it~"

As Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were strolling around, they came to where Cao Wenxuan and the others were.

"Brother Cao, I, Xue Changqing, believe that even if I cannot read all the poems and books in the world, I have read at least eight out of ten. But I have never heard a single word of the "Pipa Song" you just wrote!"

The person who spoke was an old man with a lot of white hair and wrinkles on his face.

"Master, please don't talk nonsense. The Pipa Song was composed by the vocal music master Ye Fan. I, Cao, was just lucky enough to hear it!"

After hearing the old master's words, Cao Wenxuan immediately corrected them seriously.

"Ye Fan?"

The old man frowned and thought for a long time, "Who is this person from? Who is his master? I have never heard of this person's name."

"To be honest, Master, I know very little about Ye Fan. I only know that Ye Fan is a close friend of Miss Grape, the courtesan of Qushui Liushang, and that he has great attainments in vocal music!"

Cao Wenxuan sighed slightly, his expression excited, "Pipa Song was created after he heard Grape Girl's performance!"

"Indeed, I failed to make friends with him during the wine drinking party at Qushui Liushang, which is a real regret in my life!"

At this time, a young scholar holding a folding fan took over the conversation. It was Su Bingwen.

"Yes, Ye Fan is very modest. In order to please Miss Grape, he said that he read The Song of the Pipa from a book given to him by an old melon farmer..."

As Su Bingwen finished speaking, another young scholar with a folding fan took over the conversation.

"Yeah, I also wanted to meet Ye Fan at that time, but I never had the chance!"

The speaker was another young scholar.

"This... Wenxuan, you are from Yunlan City, Bingwen is from Qinhuai City, Tao Mo is from Zhongzhou City... You... You have all seen Ye Fan? Has Ye Fan been to so many places?"

"No, we all met Ye Fan at Qushui Liushang in Jiangzhou City!"

"It's a pity that Ye Fan didn't seem to come to participate in the Qinhuai City Vocal Competition this time..."

…………

While Cao Wenxuan and others were discussing Ye Fan, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying had already arrived at the front row of the venue and sat down, because the vocal competition finals were about to begin.

"Keng!"

Following a crisp metallic collision sound, the venue fell completely silent.

"Hello everyone, I am the emcee of this vocal competition. Thank you all..."

After some greetings from the host, the vocal competition officially began.

The clear and melodious sound of the flute is like the gurgling of a mountain stream, which makes people feel relaxed and happy... The guzheng is melodious and long, as if the breeze blows through the mountains and forests... The konghou is soft and delicate, like a spring breeze... The sound of the xun is simple and desolate...

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying, who were sitting in the front row, enjoyed a vocal feast, and many guests were also fascinated by the performance!

After a moment of silence, the host walked to the front of the stage again. "Hello everyone, the theme of the next vocal performance is 'Sorrow'. According to the order of the draw, the first to appear is the Grape Girl from Qushui Liushang!"

"Hello everyone, this piece of music comes from a good friend of mine, and it's called "Pipa Xing"!"

As Grape finished speaking, the clear sound of a pipa rang out, and soon the entire venue was filled with a sad mood.

"Zheng!"

Following a sound of a pipa that sounded like tearing silk, the venue returned to silence.

"Next, please welcome Yin Yiren from Lanyuefu..."

After the venue returned to silence, the MC spoke again, but a female voice came from behind the beaded curtain of the stage, "No need!"
