Chapter 170: Chapter 103: Breakthrough to Golden Core【Extra for 600 monthly tickets】

[Task]

Take a stroll through the Purple Luo Flower Sea with Yun Xi.

Reward: Nascent Soul Skill “Green Wood Transformation Skill,” 10 drops of Centennial Spirit Marrow

Accept: Yes/No

He hadn’t expected it to be a Nascent Soul Skill! Moreover, there were a full 10 drops of Centennial Spirit Marrow.

This was much more valuable than the rewards for sparring with Yun Xi.

Lu Yi blissfully accepted the task.

Lu Yi turned his head to look at Liu Ningshuang by his side and smiled, “Junior Sister, would you like to join us?”

Liu Ningshuang thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, “Mhm, I’ve heard of the Purple Luo Flower Sea of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect being one of Qingzhou’s wonders. It’s rare to come here, so naturally, I have to see it.”

Thus, the four of them headed to the Purple Luo Flower Sea under Yun Xi’s lead.

The Purple Luo Flower Sea was situated deep within the valley of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect. Purple Luo flowers bloomed throughout the valley, and even the distant mountains were covered in a continuous purple shimmer, extremely beautiful.

Many female cultivators from the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect were admiring the flowers, sitting in pairs or groups, discussing the Arts in an exceptionally pleasant environment.

Upon seeing Yun Xi, quite a few female cultivators looked over, and upon noticing Lu Yi by her side, expressions of surprise appeared on their faces. They whispered among themselves, and then some recognized him, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Lu Yi.

Yun Xi ignored all this, simply smiling as she introduced the origins of the Purple Luo Flower Sea to Lu Yi. It was said that the founder of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect lost her beloved in an accident, and with a heart shattered beyond repair, she no longer desired to pursue cultivation. She established the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect here to spend the rest of her days.

Since her beloved’s favorite were Purple Luo Flowers, she personally planted a field of them and diligently tended to them every year. After thousands of years, it resulted in a vast sea of flowers.

Before the sect founder’s passing, she instructed the Sect Leader to continue caring for this sea of flowers, which has been maintained to this day.

With her hands clasped behind her back, Yun Xi walked through the flower sea, her light voice ringing out, “The founder and her beloved are buried deep within this sea of flowers. In life, they couldn’t spend their days together, so in death, the founder wished for their graves to be side by side.”

Donggong Ming Yue was next to them, her eyes red with tears, sobbing continuously, “Although you’re not a good person, the love story of your Ten Thousand Flowers Sect’s founder is really touching.”

Liu Ningshuang’s gaze swept over the flower sea, also sighing softly, “The founder of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect was indeed a sentimental person.”

Lu Yi too was moved; in his previous life, perhaps because the times had changed—or in fact, simply because relationships were often taken less seriously—many thrived on fleeting connections, with social apps being popular and the cost of making friends very low. One-night stands were all too common.

Lu Yi had a roommate in college who could bring five different girls home in a single week, and then take two days to rest.

Lu Yi was envious at first, but after talking to that roommate, he confided that he felt numb. He could easily make a girl feel attracted to him, even to the point of sleeping with him that very day, but his heart did not flutter, not even the slightest bit of emotion was present. It was as if it was a routine chore, forever chasing the thrill of freshness and excitement, like an animal devoid of feelings. After each night’s passion faded, he felt particularly empty, even hating himself.

“In this lifetime, I probably will never know what love is. My heart is dead,” he said.

When Lu Yi first heard his roommate’s words, he thought he was just showing off, but now, upon hearing the story of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect’s founder, Lu Yi thought back to his roommate’s words and felt something stir within him.

It was hard to say which was better or worse, but the founder of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect’s deep feelings shocked Lu Yi more.

Thinking of a verse from his past life, he chuckled softly and sighed, “I ask the world, what is love? Solely to teach life and death to promise each other.”
