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

After a busy morning, Yu Luoning finally finished clearing out most of the supplies.

In addition to buying food, she also purchased daily necessities.

The small Qiankun bag was already stuffed full, leaving not even a crack.

Li Yunyu glanced at her; the Qiankun bag at her waist was bulging, forming a large ball.

Li Yunyu sighed, "All done buying?"

Yu Luoning was still eager to continue, "Actually, I didn't buy everything, but the space in my Qiankun bag wasn't enough. It's almost Chinese New Year, and I saw some people drying cured meat and sausages in their yards, so I wanted to buy some too."

Li Yunyu then took out an exquisite Qiankun bag for her, his slender fingers gleaming like jade carvings in the sunlight. "See if there's anything else you want? Keep buying."

Yu Luoning looked at him with sparkling eyes, feeling as if Li Yunyu was radiating boundless light.

"Young master, do you know? At this moment, I really think you are incredibly handsome, simply a masterpiece created by the goddess Nuwa."

Li Yunyu's lips curled slightly: "Oh, just for this moment?"

Yu Luoning said seriously, "Of course not. You're handsome on ordinary days, but the way you spend money on me is truly captivating."

Li Yunyu chuckled.

He didn't actually tell her that his Qiankun bag, besides the life-saving artifact, was also already filled with rare fasting pills and pure water.

He had already cultivated the Dao of Nirvana, which is the end of all things.

Based on the ancient books and fragments he had read, Li Yunyu had long suspected that the Moon Gazing Cave was likely a lifeless and dreary world.

After the supplies were stockpiled, Yu Luoning and Li Yunyu went to the outside of the Purple Bamboo Forest.

At this time, a large number of cultivators had arrived in the Purple Bamboo Forest, forming a dense crowd.

An old Taoist priest in a faded robe, a young swordsman with a chipped blade, a sallow-faced, thin boy in straw sandals...

Of course, there were also fairies dressed in gorgeous and dazzling clothes, and gentlemen with elegant and noble bearing...

Yu Luoning was puzzled. Cultivators were clearly revered by mortals and had plenty of ways to make money, so why were they all living in such dire straits?

Li Yunyu seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled slightly: "Thinking about why they are so different?"

Yu Luoning nodded.

Li Yunyu: "The spiritual veins of this world have long been controlled by various sects, their subordinates, and family forces. Not everyone is born with the protection of a family."

"My level of cultivation is the result of decades of accumulation by the Li family."

Upon hearing his words, Yu Luoning suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He tightened his grip on the Qiankun bag at his waist.

I bought a lot of things before, which cost Li Yunyu quite a bit of money.

People's money doesn't come from thin air; she was just trying to take advantage of them.

Yu Luoning lowered her head, deeply troubled by a pang of conscience and guilt.

Li Yunyu watched from the sidelines.

After a while, an extremely irritating voice rang out from above Yu Luoning's head.

"My Li family may not be as powerful as major sects, but we still have two branches of spiritual veins."

"Spirit stones are produced within spiritual veins."

Yu Luoning: ...

So what was she feeling guilty about just now? Does this guy actually own a mine? Two of them.

Yu Luoning suddenly raised her head, her expression slightly blank. "Young Master, can you speak faster? Do you know how guilty I felt just now? I almost wanted to dig those pastries out of my stomach and give them back to you."

Li Yunyu chuckled, "That's really unnecessary."

Yu Luoning resisted the urge to roll her eyes and ignored him.

The two continued walking forward, only to see Lu Feishuang and Lu Wanying, the sisters, standing in the crowd, with several men standing beside them.

The man in the lead looked young, with deep-set eyes and a pair of extremely aggressive peach blossom eyes, exuding an air of arrogance and conceit.

Upon seeing Li Yunyu, Lu Feishuang immediately stepped forward with a beaming smile: "Young Master Li, I thought you weren't planning on coming today."

Li Yunyu: "There was a slight delay on the way."

Yu Luoning shrank behind his tall figure.

Well, she did spend quite a bit of time in town just now.

At this moment, Lu Wanying suddenly spoke up timidly, her voice sweet: "Young Master Li, my legs are getting sore from standing here. The teleportation to the entrance of the Moon Gazing Cave is random. Our Lu family happens to have some Heart-to-Heart Talismans prepared, so why don't we all go together later?"

Lu Feishuang glared at her sharply, which made Lu Wanying immediately shrink back.

Lu Feishuang turned her head, put on a smile again, looked at Li Yunyu, and took out a gold-embossed talisman from her sleeve and handed it to him.

"Although my half-sister is talkative, this is also what I mean. Young Master Li, please accept this love charm; it will be helpful for us when we go inside."

On the other side, the boy with peach blossom eyes had a face so dark it looked like ink could drip from it.

He had been pursuing Lu Feishuang for a long time.

The person who was arrogant and aloof to me turned around and was gentle and attentive to another man. Isn't this a blatant slap in the face?

Mo Fei was spoiled by his family and couldn't stand such humiliation.

At this moment, he stared at Li Yunyu, wishing he could poke a hole in the other's face.

On the other side, Li Yunyu did not accept the talisman, saying, "I appreciate Miss Lu's kindness. However, if there is only one of these love charms, I'm afraid it won't be enough to share."

"I have one more person with me. If they cannot come along, then there's no need for us to go."

After he finished speaking, he turned slightly to the side, and Yu Luoning, who was hiding behind him, was suddenly exposed to the bright light.

Ah, whose gaze is burning her? It's the Lu sisters.

The two pairs of eyes swept across her face, and after seeing Yu Luoning's face, which was at most considered pretty, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Feishuang's hostility vanished instantly, replaced by a condescending scrutiny: "And who is this?"

Seeing the atmosphere, Yu Luoning bowed deeply and said, "In reply to Miss Lu, I am the young master's personal maid, and I am responsible for serving him tea and water."

Lu Feishuang completely lowered her guard.

So she was just a maid who served tea and water.

She secretly considered that this girl was of ordinary appearance, far inferior to herself, and posed no threat.

If Li Yunyu likes it.

Then she'll wait until the Li family marries into the family, and then decide to take this little girl as a concubine. As the matriarch, she still has the tolerance to tolerate others.

Thinking of this, Lu Feishuang smiled even more brightly, and even nodded affectionately to Yu Luoning: "She seems to be quite clever."

As he spoke, he took out another talisman and handed it to Yu Luoning.

Yu Luoning hesitated, her hands hanging limply at her sides. She looked at Li Yunyu, unsure whether she should accept the gift.

Li Yunyu said calmly, "Please accept it; it's Miss Lu's kind intention."

Upon hearing this, Yu Luoning thanked him and accepted the gift.

Mo Fei suddenly stepped forward: "Fei Shuang, you refused to travel with me so you'd rather go with this blind man?"

"Young Master Mo, please watch your words. How dare you insult the young master of the Li family like this?" Lu Feishuang's face immediately darkened.

Mo Fei snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain as he looked at Li Yunyu: "Just a pretentious blind man, what's there to defend?"

Li Yunyu remained standing there quietly, without even lifting his eyelids.

Seeing that Li Yunyu ignored him, Mo Fei realized he had made a fool of himself and turned to Yu Luoning behind Li Yunyu.

Seeing the other person's disdainful expression, it was as if they were saying, "You're so pathetic, where did this clown come from?"

Murphy was immediately enraged.

He can't afford to offend Li Yunyu, so why should he have to be subservient to a mere maid?

He scanned the area with his divine sense, preparing to check Yu Luoning's cultivation level.

But this scan made him happy.
