Chapter 240 Taking Action

After this debate on the Zen of Clouds and Water, Ye Ru returned to his dormitory, tidied up briefly, and then went back to his bed to begin deep thought.

The way to play a guqin piece like "Guangling San" is different from that of "Xiao Xiang Shui Yun". It requires at least the second level of the "Qin Dao" realm to be able to play it.

Although the "Guangling San" is somewhat difficult, if one learns it, with the support of the Qin Soul and Nie Zheng's sword, its destructive power is much stronger than that of an ordinary fourth-grade literary treasure.

"I really don't know what kind of supernatural power it takes to connect the assassin Nie Zheng with this ancient zither music."

After pondering for a moment, Ye Ru smiled bitterly and put down the Taihe Qin. The Taihe Qin had now reached the level of a fourth-grade literary treasure, and it also possessed a Qin Soul, which was the top of the fourth grade.

After all, the soul of the guqin is the most important element. With the soul of the guqin, even if one's guqin skills are not high, one can still become a grandmaster.

"Rest first. Tomorrow, I will construct the Five Tones Realm and then try to gradually comprehend the Zen Mind of Clouds and Water, making it a part of me. Although it is said that a gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way, I think this is the only way I can do it."

After calming himself down for a moment, Ye Ru fell asleep. The next morning, he went to the Yaoge Pavilion.

At this moment, Yaoge was surrounded by many scholars, including some musicians from the other three major academies, who were looking at Yingtian Academy with great interest.

It must be said that although Yingtian Academy is declining, it is still a very large institution.

The Yao Pavilion, especially the one with the zither playing at its head, is incredibly magnificent.

"Mr. Yu, is the young man you found really capable? I get the feeling that he's just trying to gain fame. You know, to build this Five Tones Realm, you need to be at least at the third level of the Dao of Qin to have a 60% chance of success."

On a tall tower, an older middle-aged man frowned and said.

"This realm of five tones is more suitable for teachers at the third level or above in the art of the zither, but without a pure yang body, it is probably impossible to bring out the full potential of this art of the zither. Apart from Ye Ru, I'm afraid there is no one else who is suitable."

Yu Mengyang pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Brother Yu, if this boy is not suitable, then let's find a teacher who has reached the third level of the zither. Although the effect of the Five Tones Realm will be greatly reduced, this may be the safest option."

Another gentleman said.

"Brother Kong, Brother Zhong, please calm down. As the saying goes, the new generation surpasses the old. You two have also gone through that stage. We should give the young people a chance to show their abilities."

The red-bearded old man stroked his beard and looked at the two men with a smile.

"Then give it a try."

"Chief Ye has arrived."

At that moment, Xue Hanshu suddenly sensed a familiar figure outside and whispered.

"Chief Ye".

"Are you all members of the New Youth Society?"

Many people bowed slightly when they saw Ye Ru, which surprised Ye Ru. He didn't expect that the New Youth Society had recruited so many people in such a short time since he joined Yunshui Chanxin.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the high platform. He saw a five-pointed star array on the platform, with four gentlemen standing at the four corners, while the lower left corner was empty.

My gaze shifted slightly to the left, and I saw dozens of teachers watching the stage as if they were watching a good show. They were dressed differently, so they must have been from the other three academies.

"Mr. Yu greets all the gentlemen."

Ye Ru stood below the platform and bowed to everyone.

"Humph."

Zhong Bo and the others snorted and nodded.

"Alright, Chief Ye, come on up, we're about to begin."

Mr. Yu remained smiling, while Ye Ru raised an eyebrow but did not move.

"No way, this person is actually a student who has only completed the preliminary examination?"

"A mere novice dares to come here and construct a realm of five tones? Are you kidding me?"

"Mr. Yu, has your Yingtian Academy run out of people? Why send a mere student here?"

A teacher from Yuzhang Academy sneered and mocked.

"Yeah, could it be that he deliberately came here to fail? This kid can't even get up this platform, how is he supposed to build anything? Haha."

Another teacher from Yuzhang Academy said in a sarcastic tone.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ru glanced at the two teachers from Yuzhang Academy, a smile playing on his lips. With a tremor, a pair of dazzling silver wings extended from his back. Finally, to everyone's astonishment, the wings flapped, and he soared directly onto the high platform.

This scene silenced many people, and pairs of shocked eyes were fixed on Ye Ru.

After a long while, gasps of astonishment rang out, making the faces of the teachers and students of Yuzhang Academy turn somewhat unpleasant. Then, the former sneered:

“A gentleman is composed and not arrogant, while a petty person is arrogant and not composed. This child only obtained the Holy Wings by luck. He is guilty of possessing a treasure, and he will surely be regarded as a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eyes of the demon race in the future.”

"Sir, may we begin constructing the Five Tones Realm?"

Ye Ru stood on the high platform, exactly in his assigned position, then bowed and said softly.

"Alright, gentlemen, and Yip Tung-sang, let's begin."

Mr. Yu nodded, looked at an old man in the distance dressed in the robes of a Grand Scholar, and after obtaining the latter's consent, closed his eyes and a zither suddenly appeared in his hand.

When Ye Ru saw the zither, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

This zither is entirely fiery red, with the head of the instrument shaped like a phoenix. Occasionally, one or two phoenix cries can be heard from the instrument, and at a glance, an extremely powerful and domineering talent emanates from it.

"I never expected it to be the treasure of Yaoge Pavilion, the Phoenix Soaring Together. It truly shows the determination of Yingtian Academy this time."

An elderly man from Yuelu Academy looked at the zither with a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Hehe, without this zither, perhaps my Yingtian Academy would not have reached the level of being the number one in the way of the zither. This Phoenix Soaring is now a sixth-grade literary treasure. It can transform attack attributes into fire attributes and can also absorb a large amount of talent. It just meets the requirements of this Five Tones Realm."

The scholar laughed.

Ye Ru looked at the great scholar. He knew that Yingtian Academy had a Grand Chancellor, two Grand Secretaries, and two Hanlin scholars. This man was probably one of the two Grand Secretaries.

"Ye Tongsheng, you only need to play a supporting role in the formation of the Five Tones Realm this time."

Yu Mengyang pondered for a moment, then said to Ye Ru.

"it is good."

"Even if it plays a supporting role, it's probably just finishing the job."

Mr. Zhong couldn't help but feel contemptuous.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yu flicked his finger, and the phoenix flew out, eventually transforming into a giant phoenix that appeared directly in the center of the pentagram array.

The phoenix's appearance and subsequent attempt to fly away caused a stir among the crowd, while Yu Mengyang's low shout echoed throughout the area.

"here we go!"
