A Cultivation Bigshot Takes on the Entertainment Industry

Yu Huanxiu was a once-in-a-thousand-years talent with an extraordinary spiritual foundation at the Tianyin Sect. At two hundred years old, she attempted to reach the Nascent Soul stage, but collapsed from exhaustion during the final lightning tribulation.

When she awoke, she found herself backstage at auditions for a variety show in the modern world. She had no magic, but luckily, the magical instruments in her storage ring were intact.

She watched everyone take turns stepping onto the stage and fiddling with all sorts of strange objects: black boxes with lids that could be lifted, gourds held against the neck, and more. Each produced beautiful sounds, and people judged and scored the performances.

Yu Huanxiu was delighted. Wasn't this just like the competitions between the various music sects?

When her turn came, Yu Huanxiu casually took a magical instrument from her storage ring and went onstage.

Seeing the instrument in her hands, the audience shook their heads. A suona? That crude thing is loud and shrill. It's not fit for a stage at all.

As they shook their heads, a clear, ringing note sounded, followed by a beautiful melody no one had ever heard before. When it ended, everyone came to their senses and noticed ten cats and dogs sitting neatly beside the stage, with birds covering the nearby tree.

After playing, Yu Huanxiu sighed softly. "I've been in the sect for too long. I'm a little rusty at the introductory Song of the Beasts. I really need to practice."

A costume-drama director who had been searching desperately for a theme song lit up. "Yu Huanxiu, would you sell me that piece? I'll pay a high price!"

As Yu Huanxiu's popularity continued to rise, someone secretly cut one of the strings on her guzheng.

Yu Huanxiu calmly switched to another piece and gave a flawless performance.

The head of an orchestra, who was looking for new talent, immediately invited her. "Yu Huanxiu, join our orchestra!"

After Yu Huanxiu joined the orchestra, everyone discovered she could play everything: the erhu, the sheng, the se... She could even use a wooden fish as an instrument!

The orchestra became a sensation and was invited onto all kinds of programs. Everyone was a fan of Yu Huanxiu.

But Yu Huanxiu stood at the side of the stage, staring excitedly at someone who had just finished performing. "That sounds amazing. Could you play it for me again?"

The person, face flushed, sat back down at the drum kit. Yu Huanxiu had praised his drumming!

Hearing the lively rhythm again, Yu Huanxiu's eyes gleamed. "There are instruments like this too! It would be so satisfying to beat someone with one!"
