《Battling Records of the Chosen One》C225. Acient-rhythm Ocarina
Advertisement
In the Mist City.
Walking in the busy street, Lin Xun finally confirmed that bloody assassination night three-day ago would not impact on him any more with the help of Shue Jin.
This undoubtedly made Lin Xun feel relaxed a lot.
Soon, Lin Xun stopped when he saw the Spiritual Screen in the center of the city.
On the screen, a beautiful and solemn-looking woman was introducing something quickly, "Today, we invited Fang Yu, a high-ranking spiritual tattooist well-known in Mist City, and he will identify a Snowfall Saber for us."
As she said, a shining saber appeared in her hand, "This is the special saber made by mysterious Master Xun. Many of you must be curious about it. Why is the power of Snowfall Saber made by Master Xun superior?"
"Senior Fang Yu will reveal this to us. Welcome."
In a flash of light, a dignified old man in a gown appeared.
Some noises rose nearby.
"It’s Senior Fang Yu! He is a famous figure in our Mist City. By his attainments of spiritual tattoos, he can be almost promoted to Master Rank!”
"We’ve never seen the mysterious Master Xun. Everyone wonders who he is and how powerful his spiritual weapons are. Even Senior Fang Yu is invited to identify a spiritual weapon made by Master Xun. That’s really an exciting thing. Perhaps through this appraisal, we can know more about Master Xun!"
"Be quiet! Let’s listen to Senior Fang Yu!"
Lin Xun was speechless. When he looked around, he saw many practitioners standing there, looking up at the huge Spiritual Screen. Everyone had a look of curiosity and expectation.
Lin Xun didn't expect Master Xun’s reputation was so high in Mist City today that his work was even used to spread on the screen and appraised by a qualified high-ranking spiritual tattooist.
This was a great honor for a spiritual tattooist. But Lin Xun felt a little bit wield for this.
He even doubted whether the mysterious Master Xun who got the attention of so many people was really himself…
At that moment, Fang Yu coughed to draw people’s attention and took the Snowfall Saber with an earnest expression, "To tell you the truth, when I first saw this weapon, I was shocked by the ingenious means of Master Xun. Snowfall Saber is only a Human-rank middle-grade spiritual weapon which is common on the market."
"We are all familiar with such a weapon and its spiritual tattoo pattern has been already matured and stable. But, Master Xun endowed new power to Snowfall Saber in his unique way. This is undoubtedly a pioneering work that broke the rules!"

Speaking of this, Fang Yu could not help but be excited with a touch of fanaticism on his face.
With his explanations, many practitioners present were firmly attracted and shocked.
The vocabulary used by Fang Yu was amazing! Pioneering work that broke the rules! It was unbelievable to hear these words from Fang Yu, a well-known high-ranking spiritual tattooist.
Everyone knew that spiritual tattooists were the proudest people. It was almost impossible for them to bow their heads and praise other spiritual tattooists!
But Fang Yu praised the mysterious Master Xun with admiration once he mentioned the name, which was very surprising.
This made many practitioners present feel more curious about Master Xun. Was Master Xun really as powerful as what Fang Yu said?
Lin Xun felt uncomfortable when he heard the praises. If he didn't really know Fang Yu, he would doubt whether the old man had been bribed to flatter him.
On the optical screen, Fang Yu was enthusiastic about explaining the Snowfall Saber in terms of spiritual tattoos.
Fang Yu should be able to make such dull spiritual tattoo knowledge easy and interesting to understand so that all the practitioners present were attracted.
However, Lin Xun could hardly bear it. When he made Snowfall Saber, he didn’t think so much as Fang Yu explained.
Lin Xun made it just for making money, not breaking the rules.
However, it was normal that there would be many supporting voices after a person had made remarkable achievements.
It was obvious that Fang Yu, an experienced spiritual tattooist, regarded Master Xun as the first-class spiritual tattooist in the world, so he praised this Master Xun generously.
What if he knew that the mysterious Master Xun was only a teenager of fourteen years old? Would he be ashamed to say such words?
"Childe, since this Master Xun is so powerful, you can ask him to repair your Ancient-rhythm Ocarina.”
Suddenly, a crisp voice arose beside Lin Xun, which attracted Lin Xun's attention. Ancient-rhythm Ocarina?
Was there anyone else owning such an ancient musical instrument in the world?
Lin Xun was surprised at this. When he was very young, he had seen Master Lu occasionally play an instrument in size of a palm in the shape of a water droplet.
The sound was vast and thick, giving people a sense of vicissitudes of life as if they were brought back to ancient times with invisible but infinite power.
Sometimes the sound would make a person feel like a lonely practitioner wandering alone in the world, searching for the end of the cultivation road.

Sometimes the sound was simple and pure like quiet rivers, making people calm and open-minded. The sounds of Ancient-rhythm Ocarina could comfort people’s spirit.
Master Lu liked this instrument very much and always said that he was lucky to be accompanied by this instrument even if the cultivation road was lonely and endless.
Later, Lin Xun learned that this instrument was Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, a kind of instrument that almost failed to be handed down from past generations. There were nine holes on Ancient-rhythm Ocarina. Each hole produced a different melody, and the nine holes implied completeness (the number theory in ancient Chinese culture, namely unification of nine items meant completeness).
And if a superb artistic practitioner played this instrument, it could produce magical effect!
Ancient-rhythm Ocarina was a special instrument and hard to be mastered. It required the practitioner to have not only strong soul power, but also a talent in music!
Master Lu once said that the sound of Ancient-rhythm Ocarina could both take away and save people’s life. Its power was great and magic. However, there were few people able to play this instrument in the world!
The reason why this instrument had almost disappeared in years was that there were so few people who could control it. With the passage of time, this magical instrument gradually became rare.
So at this moment, when someone mentioned the name of Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, Lin Xun was so surprised that he couldn't help looking at the place where the voice came.
There stood a handsome young man in a green gown with red lips and white teeth. He held a jade fan in his hand and was elegant.
Beside the young man, there was a clever little servant girl.
Seemingly aware of Lin Xun's gaze, the childe in the green gown smiled at Lin Xun, modest and courteous.
The little servant girl glanced at Lin Xun too, but she pungently said, “Watch your eyes. Don’t look around mindlessly!"
Her voice was crisp and pleasant.
The young man in green reproached, "Ying’er, don't be rude!"
The servant girl said with her lips pouting, "Mi... Childe, I feel this guy is weird at first glance, and I’m sure he isn’t a good man.”
The boy in green could not help being embarrassed for a while. He glared at the little maid severely and said, "If you talk nonsense again. I won't take you out next time."
The little girl suddenly lost her temper and kept silent. She just gave Lin a wary look from time to time as if he was bad guy.
"Childe, I’m sorry for my servant. She is a self-willed girl since childhood. I hope you can forgive her rudeness," the young man in green apologized.
"It's all right."
Lin Xun smiled brilliantly, and he wouldn’t argue with a spoiled little girl.
However, his smile made the little servant alerted like a hairy hedgehog, "Childe, this fellow's smile is really frightening. He’s certainly not a good person even if he isn’t a bad one."
Ling Xun was startled.
The young Childe knocked hard on the maid's head with the jade fan and berated, "I'm really angry with you!"
Then he cupped his hands to Lin from afar, planning to leave with the maid.
Seeing this, Lin Xun couldn't help saying, "Friend, if you want to restore Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, you really can ask Master Xun for a try."
The young man was stunned and a different emotion flashed across his eyes. He replied after thinking for a moment, "Thank you for your advice. See you then."
Saying this, he took the servant girl away.
Lin Xun shrugged his shoulders. He was going to help this young man from the bottom of his heart. After all, Lin liked Ancient-rhythm Ocarina very much since it was Master Lu’s favorite instrument. He seldom met a person who owned this instrument. Lin Xun would be very happy if he could give a hand.
Unfortunately, the young childe was obviously not interested in his proposal.
At this moment, Fang Yu's appraisal of the Snowfall Saber was almost over, "I hope to have an opportunity to visit Master Xun in person. If I can learn some from Master Xun, I won’t have any regrets in my life!"
A crowd of practitioners got thrilled at Fang Yu's words. They became more curious about the mysterious Master Xun. In their mind, Master Xun was really a great senior now.
Only Lin Xun shivered all over. The old fellow was a little crazy. Lin Xun hoped that he would never meet Fang Yu in his whole life…
Without further delay, Lin Xun left in a hurry and headed towards the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists.
Shortly after Lin Xun left, a woman in a bronze chariot parked in the distance could not help laughing. Her body was shaking with laugher and her tears nearly flowed out.
