Chapter 275
What determines value?
It doesn't matter whether it's an object, a person, or a martial art.
What is the standard by which we assign value to something?
Back when I was still called Blood Wolf.
When I only knew how to swing a sword and couldn’t even read, Seorin once threw that question at me.
If I gave a satisfactory answer, she said she’d obtain at least a low-grade elixir for me. After much thought, I answered.
My answer at the time was desire.
No matter how rare a gem is, if no one wants it, it's no different from a pebble. No matter how beautiful someone is, they won’t appeal to someone of the same sex. Even if it's a divine and peerless technique, to a commoner, it’s nothing more than a pipe dream.
So the most important thing is how much it is desired.
