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

Yu Luoning followed Li Yunyu back to the main residence of the Li family.

They ran right into the head butler, Li Keqing.

Seeing the other person's ghost-like expression, Yu Luoning touched her nose and chuckled awkwardly.

"I wanted to leave, but the young master wouldn't let me."

Li Yunyu, who was walking in front, paused for a moment, then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened, crossed the doorway, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Li Keqing stared at Yu Luoning for a long time with a look of utter disbelief.

He couldn't help but take another look at the woman in front of him.

Compared to when she first entered the manor, Yu Luoning has indeed become much thinner.

However, among the group of graceful and ethereal female immortals, she was clearly outmatched.

He was of average height and his features were at best considered pretty; he would be hard to spot in a crowd.

But this very woman actually made the young master personally chase after her out of the city and bring her back?

The clan had considered arranging a concubine for Li Yunyu.

But Li Yunyu refused them all.

Those women were all carefully selected beauties, each one more outstanding than the woman in front of them.

If a cultivator does not leave behind offspring before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the higher their cultivation level, the more difficult it becomes to conceive.

A peerless genius like the young master possesses talent one in ten thousand. If he were to father a descendant, the descendant would undoubtedly be of exceptional quality.

Although preserving one's primordial yang energy is highly beneficial for early-stage cultivation, it must give way to the inheritance of family traditions.

"Sigh! It's really hard to understand."

Li Ke sighed softly.

Just then, a servant guarding the outer courtyard rushed over to report.

People from the Lu family in Loulu came.

Li Keqing frowned. Why are they here again? Are they still not giving up?

The Lu family of Lou is a prominent family in Beichuan. Their fourth daughter, Lu Feishuang, is a well-known beauty whose heart is devoted to the young master.

Two years ago, Lu's elders came over to sound out his intentions.

Lu Feishuang had excellent natural talent, and the Lu family was initially reluctant to let her marry out.

However, Lu Feishuang was proud and arrogant. In the entire Nanchuan, she felt that the only young talent worthy of her was Li Yunyu.

After much deliberation, the head of the Lu family finally nodded in agreement.

After all, the Li family has a deep foundation. Although only one exceptionally talented individual, Li Yunyu, has emerged in this generation, he alone cannot make a difference. However, if the two families form a marriage alliance and help each other, Nanchuan will practically be their domain.

Unfortunately, the young master refused.

Inside the Jixue Pavilion, Li Yunyu was sitting at a stone table, his slender fingers holding a greasy paper package.

It was Yu Luoning's half roast goose.

Yu Luoning smiled and said, "This half roast goose is quite a generous portion. If you don't like it, don't worry about it."

The implication is that they are willing to do it for them.

Seeing her expectant look, Li Yunyu smiled slightly and said, "No, I'm used to it."

Yu Luoning licked her lips.

Once back at the Li family ancestral home, it won't be easy to go out for a meal again.

After Li Yunyu established his foundation, he no longer needed to eat grains. Instead, he preferred to drink spiritual tea and occasionally some warm porridge made with spiritual rice to nourish his internal organs.

The servants in the courtyard also benefited from his kindness; even ordinary maids could receive some spirit rice to nourish their bodies on a regular basis.

Even if something has the character "spirit" in its name is excellent, it's still rice, it's vegetarian, it's not meat.

Yu Luoning had been craving it for a month, and suddenly her appetite was gone. She felt that no matter how much she ate, she couldn't get enough.

Li Yunyu saw this.

Although a white silk cloth covered his eyes, everything was crystal clear to him.

Therefore, at this moment, he was even aware of Yu Luoning's slight swallowing of saliva.

"Young Master... the people from the Yu Lou Lu family have arrived and are in the main hall."

Li Keqing came to report.

Li Yunyu's heterochromatic eyes, visible beneath the white silk, seemed to reveal a hint of displeasure.

Before leaving, he glanced at Yu Luoning.

Yu Luoning blinked and smiled.

Li Yunyu looked at her, chuckled, and raised his hand to put the roast goose into his mustard seed space.

The next moment, his figure blurred and disappeared from the spot.

Yu Luoning: "..."

Is it necessary to treat it like a thief?

/

In the main hall, a pretty woman was talking eloquently, while behind her stood a woman in plain clothes who did not say much.

The woman speaking eloquently was Lu Feishuang, who was extremely beautiful and whose brows exuded an arrogant and flamboyant air.

Beside her was her half-sister, Lu Wanying, who was meek and gentle, as lovely as a white lotus.

Lu Feishuang looked at Li Yunyu and said:

"Thirty miles north of Gutian Town, the entrance to a mysterious realm has been discovered. Legend has it that it is the place where a powerful cultivator who practiced the Dao of Nirvana passed away a thousand years ago. My Lu family intends to invite the Li family to accompany us. What do you think?"

Seeing that Li Yunyu did not speak, Lu Feishuang continued:

"As you know, small families like ours can't get their hands on a secret realm like this. I've heard that several lower sects are also vying for this opportunity. The Lu and Li families both belong to Nanchuan, so we can stick together and support each other."

During their conversation, Lu Wanying glanced at Li Yunyu discreetly.

His eyes were clear and innocent, seemingly without any guile.

However, an untimely voice rang out in her mind.

[Host, the target has been spotted.]

[He is actually an extremely rare individual with dual elemental roots, possessing both Yin and Yang attributes. If you give birth to his child, you will definitely produce an offspring with exceptional spiritual talent. The higher the spiritual root talent, the richer the reward!]

Lu Wanying remained calm and said, "How can I possibly win over someone like that? By the time I've got him, the grass on my grave will be a foot tall. You're my system, can't you at least give me credit?"

The system was silent for a moment, then said: "This spiritual root is extremely rare. I can lend you the Extreme Pleasure Powder on credit; it's colorless and odorless. Even with Li Yunyu's cultivation level, he won't be able to detect anything unusual. When you go to the secret realm, take the opportunity to use it for dual cultivation with him, and you will conceive a spiritual fetus."

Upon hearing this, her eyes flickered slightly; this was indeed the fastest method.

System: [But you owe me two points.]

Lu Wanying exclaimed in disbelief: "The aphrodisiac in the shop clearly only costs one point, why are you charging me two points?"

[Interest rates, do you even understand? I'm a philanthropist, after all.]

Lu Wanying sneered.

A month ago, she received this "Good Pregnancy, Change Your Fate" system.

According to this self-proclaimed system, as long as she gets pregnant and gives birth, she will receive half of the bonus to her child's cultivation level and spiritual root talent as a reward.

In theory, the more children she has, the stronger she can become, even while lying down.

The system said that as long as she has enough points, she will not suffer any pain during childbirth.

How could this not be a pleasant surprise?

However, there is only one downside.

The system has strict rules: only high-quality men who meet its specified criteria are eligible.

That's why she's been trying so hard to please Lu Feishuang for the past month, hoping that he'll take her with him when he goes to the secret realm so that she'll have a chance to meet those geniuses.

Li Yunyu did not agree immediately.

Lu Feishuang didn't care. As she left, she said, "If you're interested in going, then meet me at the Purple Bamboo Forest outside Gutian Town in half a month."

After speaking, Lu Feishuang took a deep look at the man who looked like an immortal.

The opponent has become stronger again.

Everyone says that Li Yunyu is the next promising talent for the upper sect.

In this world, the hierarchy of cultivation is extremely strict.

The lower branch governs a hundred cities.

Emperor Zhongzong ruled over all regions.

The Supreme Being overlooks all living beings.

However, the sect's requirements for accepting disciples were so harsh that they were almost abnormal.

It's not just about spiritual talent and comprehension; it's also about character and fortune.

They would examine a disciple for five or ten years at a time, and some geniuses, even when their lifespans were nearing their end, still failed to pass the long testing period.

Li Yunyu's talent is indeed exceptional.

Two years ago, the forces under the Biluo Sect, which controlled the southern border, including the Qingyun Mansion and the Mo Family Manor, had tried to recruit him as their personal disciple.

But Li Yunyu refused.

Lu Feishuang knew that Li Yunyu was the same kind of person as her, both of them possessing an arrogance that disdained mediocrity.

They were kindred spirits, and only Li Yunyu was qualified to stand beside her.

Lu Feishuang glanced at Lu Wanying beside her, who remained as quiet as if she were invisible.

However, Lu Feishuang still noticed the extremely faint look in his eyes while he was speaking.

Lu Feishuang took her leave and departed with several members of the Lu family.

After leaving the Li family ancestral home, Lu Feishuang suddenly stopped at the entrance of an alley.

She turned around and her gaze fell on Lu Wanying's face.

"Don't dwell on things you shouldn't be thinking about."

Lu Wanying was stunned, her voice trembling: "Sister... I didn't..."

"You didn't? Then who were your eyes glued to just now? You've done this several times already, and my patience is running out."

Lu Wanying burst into tears immediately, "I was just... just curious about the person my sister has taken a liking to."

Lu Feishuang sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. I admire your skills and character, but you can't set your sights on him. He's the resource I set my sights on first."

"If you continue to provoke me, I will inform my father and persuade him to hand you over to the master of the Mo Family Manor. At that time, it will be none of my business who you plot against."

Lu Wanying's face turned deathly pale; the head of the Mo family manor was an old man.

He was severely damaged in the great battle, and with no hope of reaching the Purple Palace, he indulged in a life of debauchery, greedily seeking the beauty of the mortal world, and married countless wives.

Lu Wanying hated Lu Feishuang to the core.

Always acting like this, who do you think you are? You're just a little more talented.

As a concubine's daughter with poor talent, everyone in the Lu family dared to step on her.

She has to climb up step by step.

Fortunately, she has a system that can change her fate through pregnancy.

During this trip to the secret realm, she must defeat several prodigies, including Li Yunyu.

Both innate talents and spiritual roots can be fused together, and when a Qilin child is born, it will nourish her cultivation.

Let's see who dares to look down on her in the future.
