Cultivation Online Chapter 190

"What is this instrument called?" Yuan asked after seeing the instrument that resembled a guitar.
"This instrument is called a pipa," Fei Yuyan quickly responded.
'A pipa, huh… I wonder if it functions similar to the guitar…' Yuan wondered to himself as they wandered around the room, admiring the beautifully crafted instruments inside the display case.
After spending a couple of minutes in the pipa room, they went to another room.
"This instrument resembles a violin…" Yuan mumbled after seeing this mallet-shaped instrument with a thin handle, and there was even a bow beside it exactly like a violin.
"I have never heard of a 'violin' but this instrument is called an erhu. You place it on your thighs and use that bow to play the strings." Fei Yuyan briefly explained to him.
"I see…" Yuan nodded.
Sometime later, they left the room with erhu and entered the last room in the building.
"Do you recognize these instruments, Disciple Yuan?" Fei Yuyan asked him in a sarcastic voice inside the room filled with nothing but zithers.
Yuan smiled and played along with her, "I don't know, but they seem very familiar."
"Anyway, look at this zither over here." Fei Yuyan then pointed at the zither in one of the display cases and continued, "This is a Heaven-grade zither made from Ice Jade, a very rare material, and rumor has it that it was once owned by the Zither Goddess. The name of this zither is Eternal Imprisonment."
"Zither Goddess? What kind of person is this Zither Goddess?" Yuan asked, feeling more interested in the individual than the zither.
"The number one zither expert in this world. If the Zither Goddess claims to be the second-best zither player in this world, nobody would dare to claim first. There are even legends of the Zither Goddess creating life and stars with her zither music."

"Creating life with music? I cannot imagine such a thing…" Yuan shook his head.
"That's just a legend, but if the Zither Goddess is real, I'd love to meet someone like her." Fei Yuyan sighed with a longing feeling in her eyes.
"Perhaps Yuan might become the Zither God one day," Xuan Wuhan suddenly said in a joking tone.
"The Zither God?" Fei Yuyan looked at Yuan with a weird expression on her face, mostly because she was trying to imagine Yuan as the Zither God, but alas, she could not put together such an image no matter how much she tried.
"Anyway, let's continue looking around. After we finish seeing these rooms, we can take a look at their store and see if there's anything to buy." Fei Yuyan said.
They returned to looking at zither a moment later while Fei Yuyan gave Yuan brief history lessons on almost all of the zithers there.
If Fei Yuyan changed her disciple uniforms to one of the uniforms in this place, the guests would never realize it.
Sometime later, Fei Yuyan brought them out of the zither room before taking them to this massive courtyard behind the store.
Inside the courtyard, there were about a dozen display cases placed in an orderly fashion, and inside these display cases were instruments with a price tag.
Yuan approached one of these display cases that was showcasing a black-colored dizi.
[Black Sparrow Flute]
[Grade: Earth]
[Quality: High]
[Description: A bamboo flute made of black bamboo found in the Black Sparrow Forest]
[Price: 5,000,000 gold coins or 500 spirit stones]
"F-Five million gold?!" Yuan's jaw dropped slightly after seeing the price tag.
"Wow, it's pretty cheap, especially since it's a high-quality Earth-grade treasure." Fei Yuyan appeared behind Yuan and said.

"This is cheap?" Yuan raised his eyebrows, and he asked a moment later, "By the way, what are spirit stones?"
"Spirit stones are a major cultivation resource for Cultivators, and not only can they be used as currency but a single one of them is worth about 10,000 gold coins. However, people still prefer trading with gold coins since they'd rather use spirit stones to improve their cultivation." Fei Yuyan explained to him.
"I see…" Yuan nodded.
"If this was a zither, I would've probably bought it, but alas… I don't play the dizi…" Fei Yuyan shook her head at the Black Sparrow Flute before walking to the next display case that was showcasing another high-quality Earth-grade treasure— a red-colored pipa with a price tag of 8 million gold coins or 800 spirit stones.
A few minutes later, Fei Yuyan sighed loudly, "How unfortunate. There's not a single zither instrument being sold today. The last time I was here, there were 3 of them being sold!"
"Is this everything to see in this place? Where should we go next? There's still plenty of time." Xuan Wuhan said.
"Who said we're done here? There's still one more place in this store that I want to show you, especially Disciple Yuan." Fei Yuyan said while looking at Yuan with a mysterious smile on her face.
"Come with me!" she said before walking off on her own.
Seeing this, Yuan quickly followed her, and the others followed him.
A couple of minutes later, they arrive at this mysterious and silent place with two guards standing beside this door that emitted an ominous feeling, both of them peak Spirit Warriors.
"Where are we? I don't think we're supposed to be here!" Xuan Wuhan said to Fei Yuyan.
"Of course this is not a place for the public. Only those who'd place top ten in the previous zither competition can come here, and since I'd placed 7th, I am allowed to go inside. However, I can only bring one person along with me, and I'll be bringing Disciple Yuan."
"Eh? That's not fair." Xuan Wuhan immediately complained.
"If you can play the zither even half as decent as Disciple Yuan, I might consider bringing you inside later. Otherwise, it'd be just a waste of my time, and effort," Fei Yuyan shook her head.
"You…" Xuan Wuhan narrowed her eyes at Fei Yuyan, but alas, she couldn't play the zither at all.
Fei Yuyan no longer paid attention to Xuan Wuhan and turned to look at Yuan.
"Follow me," she said to him.

The Last Breath
When Yezzu first sent his sons to the realm of men, they brought with them the magic of the gods. They created the three kingdoms we now have today being Dremshen, Ex'ol, and Kantillion. In the five thousand years since the gods left, much has changed. Great wars were fought, Universities were built, civilizations were created. One thing remained after the gods' departure though, their powers. Today, the balance of crafting the three gods brought has shifted. In the beginning, each had the same skill as the other, but the magic that was passed down through the millennia has diminished. The struggle for power that started long ago is coming to a defining moment. Plots of war and assassination are being weaved. Don't despair, for we may yet be saved from the disasters to come. Our hope lies in three young crafters. The first is William Divus, who sets out from his small village into the Dremshen Kingdom to study crafting after his father's passing. His questions about his father and his quest for knowledge drive him. Next comes Ehzahn Obasi, an Ex'olian thief with unparalleled skill. He steals for the thrill, no longer needing the rewards that come with it. He has just achieved his lifelong dream, but he will soon learn how much he underestimated the fallout from his daring theft. The last is Ki Soru, the niece of a powerful duke. She showed promise with crafting at a young age, so she had the best training the Kantillion Kingdom had to offer. Ten years have passed since her lessons began, leaving the king unsatisfied with the results. Her life is upended when her new teacher arrives, revealing a secret kept from her that changes her whole life. These three are our heroes. They were born in separate kingdoms under vastly differing upbringing, but each with their own part to play in the challenges to come. Here begins our tale of mischief and misery with only but a sliver of hope.
