Chapter 515: Whose Flute is Playing in the Night?
There was no need to elaborate on the rarity of the Lantian jade. Anyone who obtained it was certainly someone who had a lot of luck.
There were those who once risked their lives by traversing the ocean to capture various beasts and kill them in search of the Lantian jade. For a considerable period of time, the Lantian jade became a rare treasure in the cultivation world’s black market. However, the oceanic beasts were too ferocious. Low-rank cultivators dared not cross the sea while high-rank cultivators did not care much for the jade. With this, the Lantian jade’s rarity increased.
At this moment, the Lantian jade seemed like it was going to acknowledge its owner.
Envious or not, this was something everyone wanted to see.
The drop of blood that flew out from Conch’s slender finger activated the Lantian jade and turned the green smoke crimson.
The Lantian jade seemed to liquify as it hovered formlessly in the air.
"What shape do you want it to take?"
A jade pendant, a hanging ornament, a bangle, or a necklace… It was up to her.
Lu Zhou thought about the accessories that girls liked. He was prepared to fix its shape for her with his energy.
Conch looked at the floating Lantian jade happily. She replied without hesitating, "A flute."
"A flute?"
The others were puzzled. A Lantian jade was more suited to be worn as an accessory to modify one’s Extraordinary Eight Meridians. It was their first time hearing someone wanting to turn it into a flute.
Regardless, the shape of the jade was up to Conch. No matter how good the item was, if it was not to her liking, it was useless.
Lu Zhou knew Conch was gifted in tune. Perhaps, a flute might just be what she needed. The short flute she brought back from Jing Province was only an ordinary flute and would not stand the test of time. The new flute would be a good match for her.
"Alright." Lu Zhou waved his hand. Energy wrapped around the Lantian jade.
Under the sun’s rays, the Lantian jade was slowly taking shape. A moment later, the green smoke dispersed, revealing an almost translucent and glittering Lantian jade flute.
The sunlight was dazzlingly reflected off the jade flute’s surface. Its surface was smooth enough to reflect the images of the others. The flute was beautiful and exquisite.
Soon enough, the dazzling Lantian Jade Flute flew into Conch’s hand. It was cold to the touch in the beginning before it gradually rose to her temperature.
"If it were me, I’d have chosen a sword… The Lantian Jade Sword. Trading ten years of my life for it wouldn’t even be too much…" Jiang Aijian clicked his tongue and muttered under his breath. He was almost drooling as he looked at the jade flute. The more he thought about it, the more he felt Dragonsong was not as stunning as he had initially thought it was.
Conch held the flute and looked at it in admiration. It was exactly what she wanted. After playing with it for a moment, she looked up at Lu Zhou and politely said, "Thank you."
Jiang Aijian asked, "You know how to play the flute?"
Conch did not answer him. Instead, she brought the Lantian Jade Flute to her lips, playing a fast-paced melody. There were no unnecessary notes or mellifluous melody. It was different from the tunes she used to play. The quick notes resonated in the air. When it reached the sea’s surface, schools of fishes leaped out of the sea in beautiful arcs!
