Chapter 456 : Now That Desire Was Back (1/2)

Ning Xuemo just happened to be in the mood yesterday, and she felt that she clicked quite well with Yan Ziyuan, so she let out more than she normally would. She didn't think that'd make Yan Ziyuan see her as a master in this art form.

Yan Ziyuan was quite insistent on Ning Xuemo joining her at the recital. Yan also stressed that this wasn't a girls only recital, there would be plenty of distinguished and talented gentlemen as well. In addition, there would be a prize. Ning Xuemo was quite interested in the prize.

--- a phoenix crystal wood.

Ning Xuemo's cultivation of wood psychokinesis was at level four. Lately she had run into a bottleneck and couldn't get any higher.

She remembered Han Shanyue had once told her in passing that there was a short cut that could help her break through her bottleneck. That was to absorb the energy of a phoenix crystal wood....

Phoenix crystal wood was very rare, and native to Daliang City. But she didn't know where specificially in Daliang City.

Part of Ning Xuemo's purpose of coming here was to leave through the border and the other part was to see if she could find out more on the whereabout of the crystal wood. It was such pure luck that it was being given away as a prize at this zither recital. Now she would have to attend.

Little kirin was no where to be found, but luckily Ning Xuemo and the kirin could communicate telepathically. She knew that he was somewhere enjoying delicious food so she saw no reason to inform him of her plans.

***

Daliang City was a peninsula, one side was connected by a mountain and the other three surrounded by water. Lots of lakes could be found within the city limit and you could truly describe the city as ”half mountain view and half water”.

The zither recital was going to take place at the biggest lake in the city -- Lake Qianming.

Lake Qianming was every bid comparable to West Lake in Hang Zhou. Traditional stone bridges, boats coming and going. Large lotus leaves covering most of the lake surfaces, all you could see were a sea of infinitive greenness.
