Chapter 246 (2/2)

It was said that this Blackwave Zither was once the Immortals realm’s most valuable treasure. Later, it fell into the hand of a powerful devil ancestor and became a weapon of mass destruction.

There were numerous legends about it, but all had the same ending; evil couldn’t overcome goodness. The devil ancestor who desired the destruction of the world was eliminated by the joint force of many immortals and the Blackwave Zither was thus destroyed without a trace.

Of course, all of what she knew were fragments of records that came from old books she had read. All the legends were like discount sales, with most parts being exaggerated and most facts being overstated.

Therefore, Ning Xuemo always took these kinds of legends with a grain of salt and considered them as entertaining old story written by who knew which old ancient to dupe the later generation.

What’s more, the characters in these legends were quite similar to those from ancient China’s myths. Who would believe that these characters actually existed?

The only thing out of her expectation was the existence of that legendary zither inside the coffin.

She examined the zither, to be precise, the guqin. ‘Playing that thing can actually summon the water of the Yellow Springs[3]? How ridiculous!’

That guqin must contain some psychokinesis, so it would be regarded as a weapon that used soundwave to kill which caused people to mistake it as something miraculous…

However, since the legend turned this zither into such an OP item, it must definitively be a good treasure. Besides, she just happened to love playing the guqin. If she took this thing back home, this trip to the mountains could be considered not wasted.

Ever since she entered Tianshu Mountains, she brushed with death numerous times and still survived for this long without experiencing any worse mishaps, how lucky!

The little qilin was also very happy. It regretted implicating its mistress and wanted her to leave this place. However, when it saw the treasure, it became immediately happy and urged her, “Mistress, you should think of a way to bring back this zither. It could become your personal magic weapon. It could help promote you to another level… entering a mountain of treasures, one cannot leave empty handed…”

“Yeah, I know.” Ning Xuemo interrupted it.
