Purple-Gold Legend?

Jiang Hao was astonished by this unexpected gain.

This was the first time he'd encountered a bubble without a clear label.

He glanced around, carefully observing the tiny sprout in the soil. Apart from its two small leaves, there didn’t seem to be anything unusual. After surveying the area for a while longer, he noticed the surroundings were peaceful with the first rays of sunlight spreading across the courtyard.

Once he was certain that no one had noticed anything, Jiang Hao returned to his room and opened the panel.

[Name: Jiang Hao][Age: 19][Cultivation: Foundation Establishment (Initial Stage)][Techniques: Tianyin Hundred Turns][Divine Abilities: Nine Lives Substitute (Unique), Daily Appraisal, Empty Mind Clear Heart][Vitality: 34/100 (Trainable)][Cultivation: 39/100 (Trainable)][Divine Ability Points: 0/3 (Unavailable)][Purple-Gold Legend: 1/1 (Claimable)]

"It’s claimable? This is definitely unusual."

Jiang Hao paused, washed his hands, and prepared himself mentally. The items gained from such events were always random, but purple-gold was the highest grade he’d ever seen.

He selected Claim with anticipation.

A flash of purple-gold light engulfed him, and a profound text imprinted itself into his mind.

Moments later, Jiang Hao discerned four glowing words at the core of the text: Primordial Heart Sutra.

The sutra revealed itself to be an ancient scripture from the dawn of time, born of the primordial chaos. It spoke of the purple energy that enveloped the heavens, giving rise to all creation.

Jiang Hao sat still for a long time, comprehending its mysteries.

Eventually, he understood the basics: the Primordial Heart Sutra was a cultivation technique of unparalleled profundity.

By practicing it, he could generate Primordial Purple Qi, which would veil his inner energy from detection.

"So, I’ve gained not only a powerful cultivation method but also a way to conceal my aura?"

Overjoyed, Jiang Hao returned to the courtyard and gazed at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. Truly, great opportunities always came with great risks.

Still, with enough time, he believed he could significantly mitigate these dangers.

By noon, Jiang Hao finished his daily tasks in the spirit herb garden and returned immediately to the courtyard.

After ensuring the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower was fine, he began practicing the Primordial Heart Sutra, transitioning away from the Tianyin Hundred Turns technique.

With this new sutra, his existing energy became infused with a faint layer of purple mist, though he could still present it as Tianyin Hundred Turns when needed.

Stolen story; please report.

This versatility amazed Jiang Hao.

In just one night, he successfully transitioned to the Primordial Heart Sutra.

Although his cultivation level remained the same, he felt much stronger.Should he encounter Senior Sister Yun Ruo again, he was confident he could face her with far greater ease.

Empowered by his newfound strength, Jiang Hao was eager to accumulate 100 cultivation points and advance further.

At Dawn.

Jiang Hao stepped into the courtyard and was greeted by a faint, enchanting fragrance emanating from the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. The aroma was refreshing and soothing.

To his delight, he noticed two blue bubbles near the sprout.

[Cultivation +1][Vitality +1]

This discovery filled him with excitement. Without the support of the Net Yang Flower, his cultivation had slowed significantly. Now, with the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, he could accelerate his progress and quickly reach 100 cultivation points.

However, he wasn’t entirely sure how to care for the flower moving forward. After some hesitation, he activated his Daily Appraisal ability.

[Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower Sprout: At the dawn of creation, a flower bloomed amidst the chaos. Over countless ages, it bore fruit, dropping seeds. This is the sprout of one such seed. Water it once daily with one bowl of water, and it will grow faster.]

"The appraisal has slightly updated, but it’s still one bowl of water per day."

After watering the sprout, Jiang Hao prepared himself and left the courtyard.

From today, he would focus on earning the 1,000 spirit stones he needed.

Just as he stepped out, he was met by an unexpected visitor—Liu Xingchen, from the Enforcement Hall.

Why is this undercover agent here again? Jiang Hao’s thoughts raced as he tried to deduce Liu Xingchen’s intentions.

Although Liu Xingchen usually acted carefree, Jiang Hao suspected he wouldn’t hesitate to take the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower if given the chance.

"Junior Brother Jiang, I need to speak with you about something," Liu Xingchen said, his expression unreadable.

"Please go ahead, Senior Brother," Jiang Hao replied courteously.

Liu Xingchen was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. If he decided to target Jiang Hao, resistance would be futile.

"Let’s talk inside," Liu Xingchen gestured toward the courtyard and stepped in without waiting for an invitation.

Jiang Hao hesitated but followed cautiously, ready to flee at the slightest sign of trouble.If Liu Xingchen was here for the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, escape would be inevitable sooner or later.

"You seem to enjoy cultivating spirit herbs," Liu Xingchen remarked, glancing around the courtyard.

He briefly looked at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower but didn’t linger, much to Jiang Hao’s relief.

After a moment, Liu Xingchen turned to Jiang Hao and asked, "Do you know why you’ve been ordered to pay 1,000 spirit stones in compensation?"

"Because I offended the Tianhuan Pavilion?" Jiang Hao ventured.

"A mere inner disciple like you—why do you think Tianhuan Pavilion would care so much?" Liu Xingchen pressed.

What’s he getting at? Jiang Hao wondered but carefully responded, "Perhaps because Senior Sister Yun Ruo charmed one of their elders?"

"That’s partly correct, but there’s more to it," Liu Xingchen said, lowering his voice after ensuring no one was around.

"The Tianhuan Pavilion Master’s cultivation technique requires a special individual with a natural charm physique as a cauldron to break through bottlenecks.

By sheer coincidence, their master has recently reached such a bottleneck, and Yun Ruo happens to possess the perfect physique for this purpose.

When we discovered Yun Ruo was a traitor, we immediately informed Tianhuan Pavilion, which made her suspicious.

On the day we were about to apprehend her, she sought you out.

We initially planned to capture her alive, but due to unforeseen circumstances, you killed her instead.

Now, tell me, how do you think Tianhuan Pavilion’s master feels about this?"
