7 Give It a Go

Not only Lu Yi, but the other disciples were also stunned when they saw the beautiful young girl appear on the platform. Whispers immediately spread throughout the platform.

"Isn't she Liu Ningshuang? Why is she here?"

"She's Liu Ningshuang? The nineteen-year-old core disciple who reached the Gold Core stage? And now she's a true disciple under the master of Silk Peak?"

"Yes, the master of Silk Peak is incredibly talented. He has never taken in disciples before, but he made an exception for Liu Ningshuang. It's admirable."

The crowd was abuzz with discussions, and they looked at the young girl with awe in their eyes.

Although Liu Ningshuang had an extraordinary appearance, such peerless beauty made most people feel a sense of inferiority when standing before her. They did not even dare to feel admiration.

At this moment, Lu Yi was also surprised as he gazed at the beautiful woman on the platform. He had heard of Liu Ningshuang's name even in the outer sect. She became a core disciple at the age of nineteen and was now a true disciple under the master of Silk Peak. Not only was she rare within the White Cloud Sect, but she was also among the top five on the Eastern Region's list of prodigies.

Lu Yi had only heard of Liu Ningshuang's name before and never thought he would see her in person today.

Such a beautiful prodigy would have likely intimidated Lu Yi in the past. But now, he felt a bit inflated and dared to look at her directly.

It had to be admitted that Liu Ningshuang was indeed attractive. Lu Yi had not seen a woman this good-looking in both of his lifetimes combined. To put it into perspective, she might represent the pinnacle of human appearance.

'Liu Ningshuang did look a bit cold. I wonder who could melt her heart in the future.' Lu Yi could not help but internally joke about it.

At this moment, Lu Yi suddenly paused, a bold idea forming in his mind, 'I wonder if there would be any rewards if I make Liu Ningshuang fall in love with me?'

Curiosity piqued, Lu Yi mused to himself, "I want to make Liu Ningshuang fall in love with me."

Task: Make Liu Ningshuang Fall in Love with Me.

Reward: Profound Cultivation in Heart of Ice and Dao Foundation Stage Technique Mystical Ice Heart Sutra, Low-Grade Spirit Weapon Icy Jade.

Accept: Yes/No

Lu Yi was astonished. Seeing the rewards, a big question mark slowly formed in Lu Yi's mind, followed by a flood of profanity. He thought, 'There were rewards?! And... were these rewards serious?!'

A Heart was something that generally only Dao Foundation powerhouses could comprehend. Of course, some geniuses might grasp it ahead of time. By comprehending the Heart in advance, one would possess a Dao Foundation stage's token, provided their cultivation aptitude was not too poor. Just thinking about the Profound Heart of Ice sent shivers down Lu Yi's spine.

As for the Dao Foundation stage cultivation technique, it was also incredibly powerful. No matter how strong one's aptitude was, if one's cultivation technique level was not high enough, one would not be able to progress to a higher stage. While if one could create a higher-level technique oneself. Moreover, as a major sect of cultivation, the White Cloud Sect's core cultivation technique seemed to only reach the Incarnation stage, yet Lu Yi was directly obtaining a technique surpassing that.

As for the spirit weapon, immortal cultivation treasures were divided into magic tools, artifacts, and spirit weapons. Magic tools were already extremely rare, let alone spirit weapons. Even if it was just a lower-grade spirit weapon, ordinary Dao Foundation powerhouses probably would not possess one.

Lu Yi's eyes turned a bit red. Initially, he was just curious and wanted to see if there would be any rewards. But now he could only exclaim internally, 'Liu Ningshuang is too extravagant...'

Lu Yi silently accepted the task. After all, there were no penalties for failing, and if he could not complete it, no big deal. There was also a chance that he could complete it. 

After all, it was now or never. Better to take the chance and try it now. Win and get the reward, lose and try again.

Lu Yi's greatest problem was how he should make Liu Ningshuang fall in love with him.

Lu Yi scratched his head, feeling a bit puzzled. He thought he was okay with cultivating, but he felt a bit clueless about pursuing girls.

In his previous life, Lu Yi had transmigrated right after graduating from university. During his university days, he had been engrossed in playing games like League of Legends, Mobile Legends, and Warcraft. He spent most of his time playing games in his dormitory. He had joined a few student clubs at university, but he rarely attended their events. He did attend class activities a few times, but he was majoring in computer science, and there were only four girls in his class. For those who understand, they understand.

In middle school and high school, Lu Yi was busy studying, reading novels, and playing games. He was not interested in girls. There were a few girls who expressed interest in him, but he did not have that kind of intention back then. Later, after entering university, he realized what he had missed out on, and he deeply regretted it. He regretted missing several opportunities for sweet romance and even missed the chance to become a scumbag.

In short, Lu Yi had never been in a romantic relationship in both of his lives, and he had no idea how to pursue a girl.

'Darn it! Why didn't my university back then have a course on how to date? This was a major event for human reproduction! If they didn't take this seriously, humanity would eventually go extinct!' Lu Yi fiercely criticized the education system of his previous life.

'Come to think of it, I'm a transmigrator. Why should I still have to figure out how to pursue a girl?! It was truly a shame for transmigrators! I believe all those who transmigrated in the past must be surrounded by beautiful women. Yet I had to pursue someone myself. If this got out, I would be laughed at! They would call me, The Shame of Transmigrators, Lu Yi.' Lu Yi felt deeply saddened.

Just then, Liu Ningshuang's calm and composed voice rang out, "Fellow junior and senior disciples, Elder Lin Feng has matters to attend to, so I'll be delivering the lecture today."

Hearing that, everyone quieted down and sat up straight, eagerly waiting for Liu Ningshuang to begin.

Liu Ningshuang was a super prodigy and she surely had unique insights into cultivation, and anyone could benefit from learning even a little bit from her.

After everyone was settled, Li Qi, who was still standing, looked rather awkward. His frustration was reaching its peak because he did not have a seat!

Liu Ningshuang's gaze fell on Li Qi, and her calm eyes made him feel like crying. He looked at Wang Xinqi with a mixture of anger and resentment and said, "Wang Xinqi, this is not the end!"

Wang Xinqi looked puzzled and asked, "You can't beat me, so why blame me?"

Li Qi's face turned red with anger. As more and more people glanced over, he flicked his sleeve and covered his face, stepping down from the platform.

Liu Ningshuang's composed voice continued, "Is there any other business? If not, I will begin the lecture."

"No!"

"Ningshuang, please start!"

Everyone spoke up, their expressions filled with excitement.

Liu Ningshuang nodded and began, "Junior and senior disciples, you all are at the Qi Refiner stage. Today, I will explain the basics of cultivation and fundamental techniques. The Dao is unfeeling, and spiritual energy is the source. Immortal cultivators assimilate spiritual energy to condense their immortal bodies, ultimately achieving the carefree stage of longevity in harmony with Heaven and Earth..."

Liu Ningshuang's voice, infused with spiritual energy, spread throughout the White Sun Peak as she expounded on the fundamentals of cultivation. She even shared her insights into the Qi Refiner stage and her understanding of the White Cloud Qi Refining Art.

With her profound insights, Liu Ningshuang's explanations were simple and easy to comprehend. This captivated not only the disciples on the platform but also those on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain, who listened thoughtfully, seemingly gaining new insights.

Even Lu Yi, whose White Cloud Qi Refining Art had reached level 6, a stage considered Regain Simplicity in the cultivation world, found himself absorbing new knowledge from Liu Ningshuang's lecture. However, Liu Ningshuang's lecture did more than just enhance his comprehension of the technique. Lu Yi's insights broadened, allowing him to deepen his understanding of cultivation as a whole.

In fact, due to Lu Yi's solid foundation, he gained more insights than the other disciples. Soon, he might be able to achieve level 7 with the Baiyun Qi Refinement Technique.
