“Hmm.” Gao Jianfei nodded as well. After a pause, he said, “By the way, Yamaguchi-kun, I just listened to that song you played, and it suddenly inspired me to make my own music album for fun. Could you help me find a record company?”
"Uh? This..." Yamaguchi Harumi was taken aback for a moment, but quickly nodded and said, "No problem, Jianfei-kun, I'll contact Ni Records for you right away!"
Harumi Yamaguchi thought to himself that Gao Jianfei was probably just bored and wanted to try his hand at music. But it didn't matter; producing a music album would only cost a few hundred thousand dollars at most—no big deal! It was fine if he just dabbled in it.
“Jianfei, I will contact outstanding songwriters and composers in Japan and even throughout Asia to create a perfect music album for you!” Yamaguchi Harumi promised. “When you are filming the album, I can also find famous actresses from all over the world to play the leading roles.”
“Um, Yamaguchi-kun, I think you’ve misunderstood. This album is just something I’m doing for fun, I haven’t thought about making a profit or anything. But I want to do it all myself, from composition to lyrics!” Gao Jianfei said with a smile. “No need to make it so complicated. Just write the songs, record them myself, and then you can hand them over to the record company.”
"Yes!" Yamaguchi Harumi agreed. However, he couldn't help but find it amusing... Jianfei-kun is really interesting; he just listened to a song for no reason and suddenly had the idea to write songs, sing them, and release an album. Really...

"Haha, this competition between Gao Jianfei and me has actually become an open, public competition... People all over the world who are interested can participate and watch it live... Really... Haha, does Gao Jianfei want me to slap his face in front of all the nobles in the world?" Chen Yifeng laughed wildly.
"Heh, perhaps the Yamaguchi-gumi bewitched Gao Jianfei into agreeing to make the match public. After all, Yifeng's reputation in the world of gambling is a golden brand; countless gambling enthusiasts want to witness Yifeng's prowess in person." William chuckled. "In fact, the Yamaguchi-gumi wants to use Yifeng's fame to rake in money. Afterwards, Yifeng shouldn't forget to ask the Yamaguchi-gumi for a cut, hahaha! Poor Gao Jianfei, reduced to a clown being used, truly... hahaha, pathetic, lamentable!"

In the study, Gao Jianfei's video "Ai Xian," which he uploaded last night, was playing.
A beautiful and evocative melody, full of emotion, permeated every inch of the study like air.
Feng Haoyu, Chen Yishi, and even Guan Xuanzi, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, all closed their eyes, listening to the moving music and carefully experiencing the artistic conception within it.
The melody ended, but its lingering charm still filled the study.
After a long while, Feng Haoyu finally opened his eyes, and in his gaze was a clear, insane jealousy!
He is also a skilled composer, having written songs for many big stars. The songs he uploads to his World Music Home website also rank very high in clicks.
However, this song 'Ai Xian' exploded in clicks and downloads in less than a day after it was uploaded, completely overshadowing Feng Haoyu's songs!
At first, Feng Haoyu saw how incredibly high the data was for 'Ai Xian' and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips... "Heh, musicians these days will stop at nothing to become famous! This 'Ai Xian' is obviously just inflating his data! He's really gone all out; even I've been outdone by him!"
Disdain! Feng Haoyu was utterly disdainful. He couldn't believe that his song would be overshadowed by other songs overnight!
With a touch of irony, Feng Haoyu clicked on 'Ai Xian' directly, wanting to judge just how clumsy and awful the song really was.
But as soon as the music started, Feng Haoyu was dumbfounded...
In terms of melody and artistic conception, the creator's skill level is definitely more than ten times higher than that of Feng Haoyu!
Feng Haoyu is a professional in music and is extremely talented; he still has this ability to discern.
Although I don't want to face it, it's true... their level is more than ten times higher than his!
"Who...who uploaded this?" Feng Haoyu's face darkened completely. "I can't imagine anyone in this world whose musical talent could reach this level!"
"Heavy Rain... there's no need to dwell on this, is there? It's true that this song is an irreplaceable classic, but it has nothing to do with you, Heavy Rain. You're not just focused on musical talent; you're an all-around genius. Therefore, while the songwriter may be musically superb, they certainly can't compare to you in other areas!" Chen Yishi quickly comforted him, casually adding, "As long as this song wasn't written by Gao Jianfei, it's fine."
“Gao Jianfei?” Feng Haoyu’s eye muscles twitched suddenly. He seemed to be thinking about something, and after several seconds, he slowly said, “It’s strange. My genius challenge with Gao Jianfei will begin in three months. At this critical moment, a musical genius suddenly appears... This... is very strange, very strange.”
Chen Yishi's face also tightened involuntarily. "Haoyu, do you suspect it's Gao Jianfei? It can't be that strange, can it?"
Feng Haoyu rubbed his temples and muttered, "Keep a close eye on Gao Jianfei's every move!"
"I can't possibly be defeated by Gao Jianfei! Absolutely not!"
"There are only 20 days left until the showdown with Chen Yifeng!" Gao Jianfei was driven home by Kagawa Masami, and he was extremely excited!
"Dad, you've been crippled for so many years, and you've been holding onto this resentment for just as long! In 20 days, I'll take care of Chen Yifeng for you!"
After lunch, Gao Jianfei went into the recording studio and began writing songs.
He now possesses superb composing skills, and in terms of lyrics, he has also received guidance from Wong Ka Kui. Therefore, itching to create his own album, he couldn't resist the urge to do so.
Of course, the songs on the album won't follow the classic route, but rather the popular and mainstream route.
The song 'Ai Xian' that I wrote last night was a stroke of genius. It's not like Gao Jianfei can just write songs like that and start producing them in large quantities.
Therefore, let's write some melodious songs that are only suitable for being sung!
In just one afternoon, Gao Jianfei wrote five popular songs that he was quite satisfied with. They were in the style of Wong Ka Kui, combined with some Chopin-esque elements, and the melodies were very beautiful. If he were to write lyrics and sing them, they would definitely be a huge hit!
"Hmm, I'll write five more songs tomorrow, then write the lyrics myself, or find a professional lyricist. After that, I'll sing them myself and then hand them over to a record company. Haha, I never thought I'd be able to release my own album! Hahaha!"
Gao Jianfei was very pleased with himself.
It was already dinnertime when we left the recording studio.
As Gao Jianfei walked towards the dining room, he opened the virtual display screen and scanned it; the exorcism points had returned to '9000'.
"Uh, once my exorcism points recover to 1 or higher, I can become a level 4 ghost. This... should I start with a level 4 ghost, or continue with level 3 ghosts in the Domain Master category? Heh, what a happy dilemma!"
Gao Jianfei entered the dining room with a smile.
The seven women from Emei were all sitting at the table. When they saw Gao Jianfei, their faces turned slightly red with embarrassment, and they quickly turned their heads away.
"Uh? Why do you all look so strange?" Gao Jianfei sat down at the dining table with a smile.
Suddenly, Zheng Cuiyun stood up abruptly. “Master, we lost, so be it. We said before that if Jianfei could play music that moved us, we would each give him a kiss. Um…”
Suddenly, before Gao Jianfei could even react, Zheng Cuiyun slapped him across the face!
"ah?"
Gao Jianfei paused, looking at the several young women from the Emei Sect, as well as Nie Xiaoxia, who were all blushing and walking towards him.

Chapter 344 The Eight Friends of Hangu Pass
The dinner was rather romantic. The women of the Emei Sect, true to their word, each kissed Gao Jianfei on the cheek.
Gao Jianfei found it amusing and laughed as he accepted the kisses from the beautiful women. Seeing the flushed faces of Li Yun and the other young women, their eyes filled with panic and shyness, Gao Jianfei found it quite funny and felt very happy.
Of course, this act of kissing on the cheek is nothing unusual and cannot be considered "obscene." On the contrary, it brought Gao Jianfei closer to the women of the Emei Sect.
After dinner, Gao Jianfei didn't play and joke with the women of the Emei Sect. Instead, he went straight into the recording studio to continue writing songs.
After mastering music, Gao Jianfei felt that life was more enjoyable than before. In fact, Gao Jianfei really liked his current life. He had his own space, no worries about food and clothing, and could do what he loved, creating things that the world would recognize. He didn't particularly enjoy simply learning martial arts, killing, or fighting.
But……
For example, we still have to face the major schools of internal martial arts like the Qingcheng School and the Kunlun School! Therefore, we still have to learn martial arts!
Alright, now that Gao Jianfei has mastered Tian Boguang's fast sword technique and the One-Finger Divine Skill, he is more than capable of protecting himself in terms of martial arts, and there is no longer any urgent need for him to learn martial arts to ensure his safety.
Tonight, Gao Jianfei was incredibly inspired, as if divinely inspired, and wrote five more songs in a row!
Including the five songs he wrote in the afternoon, Gao Jianfei completed all ten songs for the album in one day!
Although these 10 songs have some similar styles, their melodies are all very catchy, enough to achieve considerable success in the current music scene!
After finishing his work for the day, Gao Jianfei took a shower and then lay down on the bed.
Instead of going to sleep immediately, he opened the virtual display screen and scanned the recovery status of the exorcism point.
Very good, the exorcism points have been restored to 1.
"It's so satisfying to recover my exorcism points these days!" Gao Jianfei thought to himself with a smug grin. Of course, if you want a level 4 ghost, one exorcism point is just the starting point; it would probably take tens of thousands of points to get a decent level 4 ghost. But for level 3 ghosts, it's just too good! Therefore, Gao Jianfei finally decided to focus on a group of talented level 3 ghosts in various fields, rather than level 4 ghosts for now! For example, a level 3 ghost with talent comparable to Chopin's could inspire Gao Jianfei to undergo an artistic transformation and sublimation. Wouldn't it be great to have several such sublimations?
Moreover, Gao Jianfei already has a target for the future!
Tonight, we'll refrain from entering the haunted house for now and save up our exorcism points for tomorrow night!
On the second day, Gao Jianfei went to treat patients first, and then returned home to write lyrics for the 10 songs he had written.
I was busy until midnight before I finally finished writing the lyrics for all 10 songs!
The number of exorcism points has also been restored to 15,500!
"I wonder if the current exorcism points are enough for the targets I want!" Gao Jianfei muttered to himself. Then, in a flash, he entered the ghost's lair.
In the den of ghosts.
"Dear user, welcome to your haunted home. May I ask how you can help me?" the intelligent program's voice said loyally.
“Well, this time, it’s still a batch of ghosts. Right now, I have nearly 16,000 exorcism points,” Gao Jianfei said.
"Yes, esteemed user, you currently possess enough exorcism points to summon a low-level 4 ghost. Your Ghost Nest is currently empty on its fourth floor. Would you like a 4th-level ghost immediately?" the AI program replied.
"No, level 4 ghosts aren't in my plan for now. This time, I want eight ghosts all at once! However, I don't yet know which level these eight ghosts belong to. But, based on my experience, they should fall into the category of level 3 ghosts! Uh... well, go to the level 3 ghost database right now and check for me. I want the Eight Friends of Hangu Pass. They are fictional characters from the novel 'Eight Books of the Sky.' See if they are all level 3 ghosts as I expect."
This time, Gao Jianfei once again firmly held the initiative in his own hands regarding the ghost!
The Eight Friends of Hangu Pass!
These individuals were disciples of Su Xinghe of the Xiaoyao Sect. Their martial arts skills were not particularly impressive, but each of them possessed a unique skill!
Things like carpentry, medicine, Confucianism, Go, and ancient musical instruments.
It can be said that Gao Jianfei and the Eight Friends of Hangu were not learning their martial arts, but rather their own expertise in eight different fields!
"Feng Haoyu, you claim to be a genius in every field, right? Fine, I'll keep you company for the next few months and see who's more proficient in more industries, you or me!"
After a search, the intelligent program replied to Gao Jianfei, "Dear user, I have found the information about the Eight Friends of Hangu Pass in my vast database of Level 3 ghosts. They do indeed belong to the category of Level 3 ghosts!"
"Uh, just as I expected!" Gao Jianfei snapped his fingers. "Alright, immediately check how many exorcism points I need to get all eight of them out."
"Dear user, I have calculated that it will cost a total of 26,000 Exorcism Points to summon the Eight Friends of Hangu Pass!" the intelligent program replied.
"Is that so?" Gao Jianfei was stunned. He currently had 16,000 exorcism points, and he was still one point short of having all eight ghosts together.
"Then, the Eight Friends of Hangu Pass are fellow disciples. With my current exorcism points, I'll let those who can come out first, according to their ranking!"
Gao Jianfei thought to himself, since we've already entered the den of ghosts, let's not waste time and wait and see!
"As you wish, dear user!" As soon as the intelligent program finished speaking, bursts of chaotic radio waves appeared on the virtual display screen.
After the radio waves disappeared, several pieces of information appeared before Gao Jianfei's eyes...
Ghost's name / Ghost's level / Ghost's origin / Gender / Special skills in life /
'Qin Dian' Kang Guangling / 3 / Tiankong Babu / Male / Ancient musical instruments (national level), martial arts (city level)
Fan Bailing, the "Chess Demon" / 3 / Sky Eight Divisions / Male / Go (National Level), Martial Arts (City/District Level)
