The young man seemed lost in thought, holding the bird in his hand without taking a bite. Yumei discarded the bare bones she held, feeling awkward to ask for something she had already given away. She settled for eating a nearby fruit instead.
He lacked the perceptiveness to realize that if he wasn't going to eat it, he should at least consider whether others wanted to eat it. Sigh~
"The reason..." the young man mumbled to himself.
"What reason?" He was simply too captivating; Yumei's gaze remained fixed on him, not wandering away. Seeing him appear puzzled, she chimed in.
Suddenly, the young man's spiritual power surged, creating a powerful aura. Yumei felt the pressure and quickly spat out the fruit she was chewing, hurrying to get away. This person seemed to be either in the process of breaking through or falling into demonic cultivation. Given the vast difference in their realms, it was wise for her to hide.
Yumei had always believed that when a powerful individual underwent a breakthrough, the overflowing spiritual energy could benefit the surrounding beings. However, she hadn't expected that being too close could still lead to being affected. She hoped fervently that he was breaking through, rather than falling into demonic cultivation. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to escape.
After a while, Yumei felt a surge of spiritual energy, indicating that the young man had successfully broken through. She quickly absorbed the energy, hoping it might help her break through too.
Unfortunately, Yumei's luck wasn't that great. Despite absorbing a significant amount of spiritual energy, there was still no sign of her own breakthrough.
"May I ask, fellow daoist, at what level of cultivation are you now?" Yumei felt quite ignorant; she couldn't even determine someone else's level of cultivation after witnessing their breakthrough.
The young man had successfully broken through and was in a good mood. He took the time to explain, "Mid-stage Da Luo Golden Immortal."
Da Luo Golden Immortal—what a high cultivation level that was! Considering that even Hongjun hadn't achieved sainthood, and there were no quasi-saints in the Primordial Era, Da Luo Golden Immortal was the tier just below quasi-sainthood. Even if he wasn't at the pinnacle of the mid-stage, he still ranked among the top experts.
"My breakthrough was due to you. I'll bestow upon you a treasure as a gesture of this karmic connection." A piece of jade plaque was handed over by the young man.
It was obviously a pre-heaven spiritual treasure, comparable to Yumei's companion spiritual treasure. However, Yumei wasn't looking at the jade plaque; her eyes were fixed on the person who handed it to her.
"It's an honour if the treasure can assist you, but ending the karmic connection like this is not what I want. It's not that I'm insatiable; it's just that there's no other way. Fellow daoist, you're the most powerful cultivator I've ever met.
I lack guidance in my cultivation and haven't made much progress to date. Meeting fellow daoist is also my good fortune. Please enlighten me." Yumei's rainbow-colored words seemed to lighten his mood, as his brow smoothed out. He even offered some reassurance, "Your potential is still decent."
Even though he claimed to be modest, the way he comforted her made Yumei feel like her potential wasn't that good, as though she couldn't hold her head high.
After all, she was the first Blue Demonic Blossom to bloom after the creation of the world. She was beautiful! Although Yumei didn't know why there were roses in the Primordial Era, it didn't stop her from being the "first." In the Primordial Era, once you added "first" to something, it always became exceptional or unique in some way.
But as much as she thought about it, it was something she couldn't say. She still hoped to learn something by following him.
"I'm not sure about your plans, but could I have the privilege of learning from you?" Yumei shared her intentions. If he wanted to express gratitude, she wouldn't easily settle the karmic connection. Although she didn't need to rush into apprenticeship, she needed to gain some knowledge. It was good to form connections; in the future, she might establish her own network in the Primordial Era.
