Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

Yu Luoning tore through the void three times in one breath. When she landed, her legs went weak and she almost knelt down on the spot.

She leaned against the tree trunk, panting heavily.

The world of cultivation is truly terrifying.

Fortunately, she had mastered an advanced teleportation technique; otherwise, how could she have escaped the pursuit of the Purple Mansion master?

Yu Luoning found a clear pool of water, cupped her hands in the water, and splashed it hard on her face.

The splash of cold water made her feel more awake.

But the next moment,

She stared, stunned, at her reflection in the water.

The dark moles that covered his face had all disappeared completely, leaving his skin white, shiny, and incredibly smooth.

Of course... I'm still fat.

However, going from a dark-skinned fat man to a fair-skinned fat man is already a big improvement.

Yu Luoning wept with joy.

She's a superficial person who likes to look good.

Before she could be happy for long, Yu Luoning suddenly noticed a faint golden mark on her wrist.

Yu Luoning's heart sank suddenly.

Where did this mark come from? She clearly remembers not having it before!

She raised her hand to wipe it, but the mark wouldn't come off no matter what she did.

"Chief?" she called out in a low voice.

no respond.

"System! Come out!" she shouted a few more times.

The sea of ​​consciousness was deathly silent.

Yu Luoning felt a chill run down her spine.

A bad feeling rose in my heart.

How could she dare to take a break?

run!

We must run immediately!

But as soon as she lifted her foot, she abruptly stopped.

There was not a trace of spiritual power in her body.

The Flying Through the Sky technique is no longer usable.

The only way forward right now is to become a cultivator.

Only by embarking on cultivation can she possess the spiritual power to drive the Transcendental Technique and thus be qualified to live.

Feng Qiguang was taken back to the Feng family.

In the main hall of the Feng family ancestral home, Feng Xichen's face was as cold as iron.

"The Cloud Cave Master spared your life out of fear of my Feng family. But she destroyed your vital essence, which is tantamount to severing your path to immortality. This grudge must be avenged."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiguang's eyes also burned with fire.

Dongchuan is home to many powerful families, with the Feng family being the most formidable.

Feng Qiguang was designated as the future of the Feng family from birth. He was exceptionally talented and was made the heir at the age of fourteen.

The family's resources were all tilted towards him, with spiritual herbs, cultivation techniques, and secret realm slots all being prioritized for him.

At eighteen, he had already established his foundation, destined for a meteoric rise to power.

But after this calamity, Feng Qiguang's future is uncertain.

How could this not infuriate the Feng family?

An elder spoke up coldly: "What's more important now is that the secret techniques of the Dongfeng family have been leaked. The Transcendent Technique is the foundation of the Feng family's existence. If it gets out, it will probably weaken the strength of our Feng family."

Another person chimed in: "That woman must be captured and her soul searched. The Feng family's secret techniques cannot be easily leaked; there must be a traitor among them."

"That's right. I suspect it's another powerful family in Dongchuan. They're still up to their old tricks and have long coveted the Feng family's secret techniques. We must wipe out those traitors in one fell swoop."

Feng Qiguang's knuckles turned white as he listened, and he suddenly remembered that dark, chubby face, causing his stomach to churn.

Someone stood up and said calmly, "Being able to use the Transcendental Technique means that she is already entangled with the Feng family. Rather than letting her fall into the hands of outsiders, it's better to make her one of our own. The Transcendental Technique is difficult to learn, and this unique skill can only be mastered by core members of our Feng family."

Feng Qiguang suddenly looked up, his voice changing tone: "Become one of us? What do you mean?!"

An absurd thought instantly exploded in his mind.

Could it be... that he's supposed to marry that ugly woman?

The room was completely silent.

"Qiguang, that woman has depleted your vital essence, thus creating a karmic connection between you. Either kill her to sever this connection, or marry her to continue it."

Feng Qiguang's throat tightened, but the scene in the cave flashed uncontrollably through his mind, and humiliation, anger, and murderous intent surged up all at once.

He lowered his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "Then kill her! I can't marry that fat woman!"

Feng Xichen's gaze darkened: "Issue a warrant for her arrest immediately. We must capture this woman. Qiguang, you will come with the team."

Feng Qiguang froze abruptly: "Me?"

"Your resolve is currently unstable, so seclusion is useless. Only by personally settling this karmic debt can you continue your cultivation," Feng Xichen sighed.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiguang said, word by word, "I will obey the Ancestor's command. I will personally settle this matter and kill her."

Yu Luoning sneezed.

Very well, there's a high chance someone is criticizing her.

After a whole day and night of running, she was starving.

I never imagined that the first step in cultivating immortality would be finding something to eat.

She walked along the mountain path, with endless spiritual fields beside her. The spiritual rice in the fields was sprouting ears, and a faint fragrance wafted in the wind.

I wonder which aristocratic family owns this property.

Not far away, there were thatched cottages of farmers, with wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys.

Yu Luoning originally wanted to go up and beg for a meal.

You can see several tenants by the roadside who are as thin as bamboo poles, with sunken cheeks and vacant eyes, and they walk as if they are walking on cotton.

She stopped in her tracks.

On one side are the heavy, ripe rice fields that are about to be harvested, and on the other side are old farmers struggling to make a living.

What cultivation world? Isn't it just a feudal dynasty?

Yu Luoning pursed her lips and forcefully turned her toes back.

"Forget it. I'm lucky to be alive. I'll go to the foot of the mountain and find something edible. Judging from the appearance of these tenants, they probably don't have any left at home either."

Yu Luoning dared not venture into the deep mountains, but instead carefully searched along the foot of the mountain for something to fill his stomach.

She gave a bitter smile as she walked on the withered yellow leaves.

All the edible food has long been eaten up.

She should have thought of that sooner.

"Young lady! Are you hungry?"

Yu Luoning turned around and saw a thin old farmer standing by the edge of the field, with a smile on his face, but his eyes looked somewhat unfocused.

She touched her stomach sheepishly: "You noticed?"

The old farmer chuckled, "I've seen you lingering around here for a long time, like you're looking for something to eat."

Yu Luoning nodded.

The old farmer pointed in the direction of his house: "If you don't mind, you can come to my house."

Yu Luoning hesitated for a moment: "Your rations are probably also rationed, right? I'm afraid it would be difficult for you if I just took a bite."

"It's a blessing to meet you. We rarely see outsiders around here, so we can at least squeeze out some food for you. Don't worry about it."

When the old farmer said not to worry about it, his gaze lingered on her face and neck for a moment, as if he were weighing something.

Yu Luoning's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

"Then I'll trouble you. Please lead the way."

Upon hearing this, the old farmer seemed finally relieved and turned to leave.

At that very moment,

Yu Luoning took off running!

He ran so swiftly and cleanly that even he admired himself.

These tenants were all as thin as dried-up skin, while she was plump and fair-skinned.

To these starving people, they were nothing more than a pile of moving pork belly.

She grew up in a peaceful place in her previous life and never went hungry, but she wasn't stupid.

In times of war and famine, people will eat anything when they are desperate for food.

From behind came the old farmer's distorted shout: "Grab her!"

The next moment, two thin old men sprang out of the bushes on both sides, their eyes red, and pounced like hungry wolves.

"Grab her, and we've got our food rations for this month!"

Several old men grabbed sickles and hoes and gave chase.

"The Li family has set up a talisman over their sacred fields; any tenant who steals even a single grain of sacred rice will have their hand chopped off! This year, taxes have been increased again, and two members of the family have already starved to death."

"That woman is from out of town; if one less out-of-towner, no one will notice!"

Yu Luoning was panting heavily, her chest feeling like it was about to burst.

Fortunately, she's now... a flexible fat woman!
