Chapter 7

As their flower boat drifted onto a wide, open stretch of the lake.

Looking around, one could see flower boats of various unique styles cruising on the lake.

Some of those flower boats looked incredibly opulent, while others possessed a distinct landscape Concept.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing's flower boat seemed a bit ordinary among them.

In the middle of the lake was a massive flower boat, surrounded by many others.

At this moment, the musician who had been playing the zither spoke up, "That flower boat belongs to people from the Yun Yao Holy Land. It is hosted by a Disciple of the Yun Yao Holy Land who is quite famous in the Dao of the zither."

"That is why so many people have come to watch this performance."

With the musician's explanation, they understood the purpose of that massive flower boat.

Since Su Yu and Ling Wanqing had already come, they decided they might as well experience it.

A note from the zither instantly pierced the night sky, and a melodious melody drifted out.

At that moment, many small celestial spirits appeared on the surface of the lake, dancing gracefully in the night.

They moved in time with the zither music.

Returning to the shore, the two looked back at the massive flower boat in the center of the lake. It was indeed a pleasant experience; that Disciple of the Yun Yao Holy Land certainly had some genuine skill.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing headed off toward other areas.

Along the way, they passed many interesting places.

There was a tea ceremony gathering, where Su Yu and Ling Wanqing tasted some tea with astonishing flavors.

They bought some to take back home to enjoy slowly.

There was also a wine tasting event, featuring all sorts of fine craft wines. Although Ling Wanqing didn't drink much, she happily accompanied Su Yu to the Dao of Wine gathering.

Su Yu drank quite a few wines that satisfied him. In the Spirit Domain, new ideas were constantly emerging on how to brew delicious wine.

It was impossible for Su Yu to have tasted them all.

This wine gathering caught Su Yu's attention; he could even brew the wines he tasted there himself once he returned.

Ling Wanqing had a little bit of the wine Su Yu recommended, and she thought the taste was indeed quite good.

There was also a painting gathering, and when Ling Wanqing saw it, she pulled Su Yu along to participate.

Su Yu had always been painting for her, so this time they could join in on the fun.

The two also went to the chess gathering, where Su Yu spotted an old friend.

It was Old Qian, who was right there. Old Qian was quite happy when he saw Su Yu.

Su Yu wasn't surprised that Old Qian could make it to this gathering.

After all, he was a leader in the Dao of chess and a Mahayana Stage existence.

Old Qian wanted to pull Su Yu into a game of chess, but Su Yu politely declined.

Now was not the time for chess; couldn't he see that he was accompanying his wife?

If he left Ling Wanqing aside to go play chess, Su Yu knew better than to do such a thing.

The two were currently strolling through an alley when Ling Wanqing saw a small shop selling clothing.

Ling Wanqing walked inside.

Su Yu looked at the garments, which reminded him of some clothing from his past life.

Seeing Su Yu seemingly lost in thought, Ling Wanqing said, "You should buy one to wear too; you only have those few outfits."

"Otherwise, you're always just wearing your Sect attire."

Su Yu wasn't too particular about these things; he still had a set of clothes from his past life in his storage space.

After all, he had arrived in this world the moment he opened the door back then.

That outfit still held a lot of sentimental value.

Ling Wanqing picked out a few pieces of clothing and bought them for Su Yu.

As for herself, she already had plenty of clothes in her storage space.

Besides, sometimes Su Yu would come up with some strange and peculiar clothes for her to wear.

Including some with silk.

Sometimes she couldn't even imagine how Su Yu came up with those designs.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing continued strolling around.

At this moment, Ling Wanqing sensed Yun Ruyan's aura nearby.

Ling Wanqing hadn't expected her Disciple to have come here as well.

She could sense that Yun Ruyan's strength had increased significantly.

And she seemed to be doing quite well, which was enough.

Ling Wanqing sensed that Yun Ruyan was walking toward them.

Su Yu watched Yun Ruyan walk over and thought it was quite a coincidence.

None of the three deviated from their paths.

Yun Ruyan did not know her Master was right in front of her; she was only thinking about seeing other Prodigies and browsing around while she was at it.

A friend of hers was accompanying her.

Yun Ruyan walked forward as usual.

But when she passed a couple who looked very affectionate, she felt a faint sense of familiarity.

When she looked back, it was gone.

Yun Ruyan murmured, "It has a bit of Master's aura, but clearly that woman is not Master."

Ever since she became her Disciple, she had never seen her Master interact with any man.

Yun Ruyan looked at the two behind her. The woman was holding the man's arm, speaking from time to time, and the happiness on her face was visible to the naked eye.

Clearly, this affectionate couple and the woman's current expression and behavior were the complete opposite of her Master.

It seemed she hadn't seen her Master for too long.

Feeling an aura similar to her Master made her think of her, and Yun Ruyan sighed, wondering when her Master would finally come to the Spirit Domain.

Her current cultivation level was probably already surpassing her Master's.

At this moment, Yun Ruyan's friend spoke up, "Why are you staring blankly at that Dao Companion couple? Could it be that our Young Miss Ruyan wants to find a Dao Companion too?"

"What are you saying? I was just thinking about some things."

"Things in the Southern Domain?"

"That's right."

When Ling Wanqing had just passed by Yun Ruyan, she felt a slight urge, but the two just brushed past each other without acknowledging one another.

This was already the second time.

Now was not the time; besides, Su Yu was right by her side.

Su Yu could see that Yun Ruyan had a small Opportunity on her—a Water Spirit Body. This Physique actually had unique effects on Origin cultivation.

It was just that most people hadn't discovered it, and no one had pointed it out.

And Yun Ruyan clearly had already discovered it; she likely had a good guide.

Or perhaps it was her Master in the Spirit Domain.

The two didn't linger for long and headed forward.

By this time, Su Yu had already seen quite a few familiar figures.

Among them, the most familiar was Ye Lin. Ye Lin had already arrived at the Yun Yao Grand Meet, though he was currently still observing from a pavilion.

Ye Lin was waiting for the appearance of the Yun Yao Saintess. Just then, Ye Lin saw a familiar figure.

"How did she come here? Please, don't let her discover me."

Qingling shook his head at this scene.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing arrived at the central area of the city.

This was where many Geniuses would appear later on.

While everyone here was enjoying themselves, Li Yi appeared before the Lifeless Sword Tomb.

The Sword Manor Master looked at Li Yi, "I didn't expect you to comprehend the true meaning of the Demon Soul."

"Since that is the case, I will take you into this Lifeless Sword Tomb."

The two entered the Sword Tomb.

The Sword Manor Master brought Li Yi to a place that exuded an eerie atmosphere everywhere.

The Qi here was very demonic.

"One of the Ten Great Demon Swords. Today, the one you must subdue is Yao Qi."
