"Try before you buy," excerpt from Chapter 131: I was an orphan, orphaned from childhood. I was taken in by two elderly people who pitied my plight and raised me. They also had a young daughter, Lotus, my childhood sweetheart. We had meager land and a humble home, with no savings, yet my parents toiled tirelessly without complaint. Time flies, and eighteen years have passed in a flash. Though our days were hard, Lotus warmed my heart. My daughter grew into a beautiful and talented young woman, stunning all others. Lotus and I fell in love and pledged our lives to each other. One day, I encountered a cultivator who said of my unparalleled talent and wanted to take me as a disciple to pass on his teachings. He said that if I attained enlightenment, the world would be astonished. I had no desire for immortality, only to grow old with Lotus. However, my family was poor and my parents were ill, so I had to become their disciple to repay their kindness. They took elixirs and miraculous medicines, and my parents recovered completely. I followed my master to seek immortality, and at our parting, they wept bitterly. I swear I will never forget you in this life, and return to live forever together. Reluctant to part, I grieve for our separation. The fragrant grass knows my heart. Six years have passed since we parted. I think of you every night and every day. My master saw my mortal heart stirred and ordered me to descend the mountain to face the trials of love. Returning home, I collapsed to the ground. The house was destroyed, the fields barren, all was empty. My parents were dead, their bones withered. Lotus committed suicide in the mass grave. Only then did I learn the reason. Anger rose in my heart, and evil thoughts took hold. A wealthy man, heartless and lustful, took Lotus into his household. Lotus refused, her beauty ruined. My parents, heartbroken, lost their lives. Lotus cried out to heaven, but received no answer. She followed him to the underworld. I searched for Lotus's remains that night, only to be torn apart by wolves and dogs. My heart was broken. The path to immortality was severed, and I had no will to live. I vowed revenge for my beloved. Kill! Kill! Kill! The wealthy were heartless, I killed them all! Kill! Kill! Kill! Heaven and earth were heartless, I slay them all! I will kill all the heartless in the world, all for Lotus's soul.
