Chapter 4035: Music and Taoism

Ye Bufan retracted his right hand from taking the pulse, but a surging tide rose in his heart.

The other party's strength was simply too formidable; if Zhuge Qingyang's Meridians were merely a winding path before, then hers were a superhighway—the difference was immense.

The surging Immortal Essence within each Meridian was like the endless waves of the ocean.

Only now did he realize how strong this seemingly delicate, cold-faced woman was; she was at least countless times more powerful than Zhuge Qingyang.

This also made him recognize the gap between himself and a Saint Emperor even more clearly. Fortunately, someone intervened today, or else passing through Liu Wuzhou's hurdle would have been truly difficult.

Hearing the Sword Emperor's words, he composed himself: "If I'm not mistaken, Senior Qin Fei should be suffering from a condition of suppressed emotions!"

After he finished speaking, a hint of approval flashed in the Sword Emperor's eyes, and even Qin Fei looked over at him.

So many years had passed, and she had seen countless famous doctors across the land, yet no one had been able to cure her illness.

This time, it was only out of trust and respect for Zhuge Qingyang that she held a glimmer of hope, traveling through mountains and rivers to reach Tiansheng City, with the sole purpose of seeking a diagnosis from Ye Bufan.

Although the Sword Emperor was satisfied with the accurate diagnosis, it was only that; after all, many doctors he had seen before had also diagnosed the condition as suppressed emotions.

He asked again, "What are its harms?"

Ye Bufan said, "If an ordinary person suffers from suppressed emotions, it's nothing, but falling upon Senior Qin Fei, the harm is immense."

The Sword Emperor's eyebrow twitched: "Specifically?"

"The Physical Body is unharmed, but cultivation is stagnant, and there's even a tendency for Immortal Essence to dissipate. If not treated in time, in another thousand years, there's a risk of one's Dao and life perishing!"

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, extreme shock flashed in the eyes of both the Sword Emperor and Qin Fei.

Countless people had previously diagnosed the condition as suppressed emotions, but only he had seen it so deeply.

Qin Fei herself knew her current symptoms clearly, and as her Dao Companion, the Sword Emperor was also well aware.

What Ye Bufan said was not a single word off; Qin Fei had indeed reached an extremely dangerous point.

The Sword Emperor leaped from his chair, his gaze burning.

"Little Divine Doctor, do you have a cure?"

After he finished speaking, Qin Fei also looked over with concern.

"A cure is still hard to say for now."

Ye Bufan said, "The root of suppressed emotions lies in a heart ailment, and heart ailments are the most difficult to treat.

I still need Senior Qin Fei to truthfully tell me how this illness came about. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy, and prescribing the right medicine, can the best results be achieved."

"Little Divine Doctor is right!"

The Sword Emperor took a deep breath, calmed his excited heart, and sat back down.

As the Sect Master of the Five Great Sects and a Saint Emperor-level expert, some secrets could not be revealed to outsiders.

But today's situation was different; to cure Qin Fei, he could only tell the truth.

He sighed deeply: "The incident happened three thousand years ago. Counting it, Qin Fei hasn't smiled for three thousand years…"

The Sword Emperor recounted the events. It turned out that Qin Fei had entered the Dao through music, and her strength was extremely formidable, no less than his own.

However, three thousand years ago, an incident occurred within the Sect. Qin Fei originally had a crane pet, not high in Rank, but proficient in music.

Whenever she Cultivated, that immortal crane would frequently dance. The person and beast had accompanied each other for ten thousand years, sharing a tacit understanding like a high mountain meeting flowing water and finding a kindred spirit.

But unexpectedly, in an accident, that crane pet suddenly died, which dealt a huge blow to Qin Fei.

Misfortunes never come singly. Not long after the immortal crane died, a maid also suddenly passed away.

If it were an ordinary maid, even if a thousand or ten thousand died, it would not affect Qin Fei's Dao Heart.

But this maid's identity was different; she was also proficient in music. The two would discuss music, play and sing together daily, like a teacher and friend, and even like sisters.

It was precisely from that time that Qin Fei completely developed the condition of suppressed emotions, and she never smiled again."

After finishing his story, the Sword Emperor shook his head repeatedly. With his beloved in such a state, he was the most pained.

Then he looked at Ye Bufan with hope: "That's how it is, Little Divine Doctor, do you have a cure?"

Ye Bufan didn't answer directly; instead, he asked, "Senior, I have a question: What does it mean to enter the Dao through music?"

This time, without waiting for the Sword Emperor to answer, Qin Fei spoke directly.

"My weapon is a seven-string guqin. My attack method is sound-killing. My cultivation is based on my comprehension of music. The deeper my comprehension, the stronger my strength. This is what it means to enter the Dao through music."

"Oh!" Ye Bufan nodded, "Then, may I ask if many people usually communicate about music with Senior Qin Fei?"

"Very few! Very few!"

As she spoke, a hint of melancholy appeared in Qin Fei's eyes, "My cultivation method is extremely rare. In the Immortal Realm, those who are proficient in music and have an interest in it are even rarer.

It is precisely because of this that I valued that crane pet and maid so highly."

Ye Bufan said, "I think what Senior valued was not the crane pet and the maid, but the inspiration they brought you in the Dao of music, which could advance your comprehension and thus further your cultivation. Is that right?"

Qin Fei's expression froze, then she slowly nodded.

"You're right. I did have some affection for the crane pet and the maid, but what I valued more was the pursuit of the Dao and the improvement of my cultivation."

After clarifying these matters, Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "In that case, I have a method for diagnosis and treatment!"

Hearing him say this, the Sword Emperor immediately became excited, his eyes shining brightly.

"Little Divine Doctor, quickly tell me! As long as you can cure Qin Fei's illness, you will be the greatest benefactor of my Qin Jian Mountain Manor.

Whatever you request, my wife and I will not dare to refuse!"

Ye Bufan said, "The root of Senior Qin Fei's suppressed emotions is not the departure of the maid and the crane pet, but rather the inability to find a kindred spirit, to comprehend music, and to advance her cultivation further.

And I can solve all these problems."

Qin Fei looked over doubtfully: "So, Young Master Ye is proficient in the Dao of music?"

"Something like that!"

As Ye Bufan spoke, with a thought, four huge speakers appeared inside the bamboo house. Then, with a flip of his wrist, an MP4 appeared in his palm.

This item was a gift from Ouyang Jing when he left Earth. It had a massive memory, filled with various songs and musical pieces.

According to Ouyang Jing, whenever he missed home or his relatives on Earth, he could listen to a song.

And since she didn't know what kind of music her older brother liked, she simply made a comprehensive collection, almost moving the entire music library from Earth into it.

The reason Ye Bufan was so confident was that the Immortal Realm's exploration and reserves in the Dao of music were extremely lacking, incomparable to the highly commercialized Earth.

There weren't as many practitioners, nor would there be too many excellent works.

Didn't Qin Fei want to comprehend music? Didn't she want to touch inspiration? Then he could completely bring it to her, and the effect would absolutely be a thousand or ten thousand times better than that maid and immortal crane. He looked up at Qin Fei: "Senior, just tell me what kind of music you want, and I can satisfy you!"
