9 Calm Hear Melody

It was already night when I returned, what a day! When I thought about the things I brought. I started to laugh at myself, I really did bring a lot.

I took out formation plate and activated it. I only have about twenty days to prepare for the Academy Exam.

I took out the harp from the room, with harp in it my room, it's jam-packed, I have enough space to play harp properly without feeling constraint but I want to walk into the room that is impossible without taking harp back.

I close my eyes and remember the basic melody my mother taught me, it is a simple melody not very complicated play.

As I touch the string to play, I felt a prickle as needle prick into my soul. This must be the reverse backlash the note had mention. It even injured some weaker Foundation building cultivator, so lets just not say about Mortal Transformation.

The prickle didn't make me feel pain just little uncomfortable, The Mental defense Capabilities of Pyramid is really amazing.

The reverse backlash that could injure weaker Foundation Building just feel the uncomfortable prick to me, Little Mortal Transformation cultivator.

Bearing the unrecoverable prickling I started to play the melody, I make many mistakes, as I was rusty for five years but I got the hang of it after several tries.

I started playing, playing all the melodies that my mother taught me, I was so absorbed in playing that sun had come and it's already morning.

I only stopped when I felt famished and tired. After eating Fasting pill, I closed my eyes and rest for a while.

In the Nameless Art of Harp, there are practice melodies with instruction on how to merge spiritual power in the music notes.

I started to play the spiritual melody, but there are many mistakes I made. Sometimes flows of spiritual energy isn't smooth sometimes pitch isn't perfect.

It took me nearly a day to perfectly play the simple melody and there are many are melodies remain to practice.

I practice them one by one, by trial and error I started to find my own rhythm of playing the harp.

The harp is one of most ancient musical instrument in the world, it is perfect in every way, it can be used to describe any emotion in the world.

It took eight days to perfectly master the practice melodies. One of the reasons I quickly mastered it because of my second job.

I used to have the second job in the afternoons, it is to spiritualize the thread of spiritual silkworm, the thread had to have a constant flow of spiritual energy with the same frequency without any lapse.

If any lapse did occur in spiritual energy, the thread will break and I have to start all over again to complete the quota of threads.

I had to be overly cautious because I have the lowest cultivation with limited spiritual energy than any other worker there.

From that job, I've learned to control spiritual energy perfectly, still, it took me eight days to perfectly play to practice melody.

After completing practice melody, there are beginner melodies.

In the Seven Mortal realms, Mortal Transformation to Deity Realm I will only able to play beginner melodies. Only conquering Seven Mortal Realms did able to ply the adept level melodies and adept level melodies are the real melodies.

'Calm Heart' is the name of the first Book of Melodies in the Beginner range.

The melodies in the 'Calm Heart' are used both spiritual energy and soul force to play. These melodies are used to make heart tranquil which aided in the Breakthroughs and help defeat to 'Demon Heart'

I started to play first Music Sheet in 'Calm Heart', it is the most complicated music sheet I've ever played.

In just playing about an hour, I felt mentally drained. My soul force is completely emptied. Master notes said the best way to recover Soul force is Sleep, It is better than the meditation.

I slept for about three hours when I felt my Soul force recovered. I again started to practice and again getting tired.

This cycle goes on for days, playing and sleeping, playing and sleeping, but in the cycle, I started to feel my soul energy grow as I started to last minute more than before.

My soul feels stronger as the days, so is a time of practice. I started to understand the melody more and more.

'Cling…' i remove my hands from strings, It is the night before the Academy's Exam and I mastered the first sheet of 'Calm Heart' Book.

My time playing the melody increase a lot, I now able to play for nearly one hour and twenty minutes.

The time it took to play the first sheet completely of the 'Calm Heart' book is One Hour and Sixteen Minutes.

Feeling really tired from the practice, I decided not to practice anymore and sleep. I have to give my apex performance tomorrow and for that complete sleep is necessary.

It didn't take long before I fall into sleep. When I wake up, it's already morning. I started to feel little tension for the exam most of the people get disqualified.

I have to gain admission through my talent in playing the harp. Mostly the selection is done by fighting a student from the academy but there is always an exception.

If you have some special talent they can admit you to the academy, about two years ago a kid in the 1st level of Mortal Transformation got admission because he is extremely good at sword arts.

Feeling there is very little time left, I quickly took a bath. I stood in front of the mirror naked, I am wearing the best lingerie that I brought yesterday, they black and lacy, wearing them my confidence upped a notch.

I change into neck length, half sleeve beige colored blouse which has small ribbon on the neck and knee-length navy blue floral skirt. I tuck bouse into the skirt and wear a small brown belt above it.

And for shoes, I wore elegant kitten heels, the whole look casual on the elegant side.

I look at my room emotionally, this is the first place I felt safe ever since my parent's died. I have a lot of good memories in this room, with a penny and her family.

I have everything I want in my bag, I will not going to take my old things as I brought all new yesterday.

I opened my cupboard, there is a small box. Inside it, there is a small painting of my parent. It was the only thing that survived my run from my hometown. I placed in my bag carefully.

I wipe my tears and strode toward the kitchen, hopefully, there will be no one there.

As I entered the kitchen, I find the boy of ten years sitting in a chair eating quietly, when he looked by to see who it is, after seeing it's me, he started to eat again as if not seeing me.

He is Abe, Charlotte twin younger brother. He is completely different from his sister and mother, even his father.

He is not mute, he just doesn't like to talk. Penny always said to him 'would it hurt you to talk a little!' and sometimes when we are alone, she jokes that someone must place Abe in her belly and stole her real child.

I didn't disturb him and placed four gift boxes on the table, I was just about to walk when abe did the most unexpected thing.

He hugged me 'I will miss you elder sister Lena.' he said in small voice. Hugging him back "I will miss you to able." I said as I eyes become moist.

Abe let go of the hug and sat in his chair eating his dinner as usual. I will miss them. I consider this two little ones my younger siblings.

Before it gets more emotional, I strode out of the kitchen and get out of the house quickly.
