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

But then a loud boom was heard, and a powerful pressure descended from above, like a mountain collapsing.

Before the Foundation Establishment cultivator could even scream, he was pressed into the ground and unable to move.

The surroundings fell silent instantly. Everyone turned around and saw Mo Yuntian walking towards them step by step.

The aura of a half-step Purple Mansion Realm cultivator was enough to make those around him gasp for breath.

"This young friend saved my life in the secret realm."

Now, the crowd fell completely silent.

With an old monster at the half-step Purple Mansion Realm standing here, who can say anything?

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been pinned to the ground slunk up, dusted himself off, and silently took out a high-grade spirit stone from his pocket, handing it to Yu Luoning.

Yu Luoning took it with a smile and snorted, "Oh, you little glutton, you should have done this sooner! You always have to suffer a bit."

Upon hearing this, the burly man's face turned pale and then red, and he slunk away.

With some people taking the lead, the others stopped talking and took out spirit stones from their pockets one after another.

Yu Luoning smiled broadly as she collected the spirit stones one by one into her Qiankun bag.

She calculated extremely quickly; the toll alone cost 79 high-grade spirit stones, plus the bag of spirit stones Mo Fei had given her earlier. That's about 200 spirit stones, plus the ones she earned bit by bit in the secret realm, totaling a whopping 301 spirit stones.

She silently repeated the number 301 high-grade spirit stones in her mind over and over again.

She's struck it rich! Even if she doesn't cultivate immortality anymore, she can live a life of luxury in any mortal empire.

Alas, dual cultivation can only replicate cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts, but not spirit stones.

Fortunately, she has a knack for making money, so this trip to the secret realm was worthwhile.

At this moment, outside the palace gates, people had already entered one after another, leaving only a few people outside.

Feng Qiguang stood motionless in front of the palace gate, his gaze toward Li Yunyu extremely cold, concealing an unfathomable emotion.

Lu Wanying spoke first, her tone gentle: "Everyone, let's go in too. The sooner the better."

Lu Feishuang had been waiting impatiently for a long time. Although she liked Li Yunyu, what did that little bit of love matter compared to the path of opportunity?

The real business is the inheritance in the secret realm; it's not worth wasting time here.

If Li Yunyu hadn't stood there motionless, she would have already entered the palace with the others.

Lu Feishuang turned around, her gaze falling on Mo Fei and Mo Yuntian, grandfather and grandson, and walked over.

"Senior Mo, I didn't expect to meet you here. Shall we travel together from now on?"

Mo Yuntian smiled, but didn't say anything.

He didn't have much affection for Lu Feishuang; if it weren't for his grandson Mo Fei constantly following her around, he wouldn't even bother to give her a friendly look.

Previously in the underground palace, all spells were restricted, and the higher one's cultivation level, the heavier the backlash, making it difficult for everyone to move.

At that time, she never mentioned traveling together, and didn't even bother to say hello.

Now that everyone's spiritual energy has recovered, he, with the highest cultivation level, shamelessly came over and asked to travel together.

Too much on one's mind, too strong of one's goals.

At his age, he's seen far too many people like that.

Mo Fei stood to the side. Hearing the suggestion, he was excited for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, his gaze involuntarily fell on the woman with purple markings all over her face and a terrifying appearance.

He hesitated for a moment.

Others might only see a Qi Refining cultivator who has been poisoned, but he and his grandfather witnessed the movement of that flying sword.

That kind of swordplay is definitely not something an ordinary person can handle.

Following her is probably safer than following Lu Feishuang.

Mo Fei turned to Yu Luoning and said, "Fellow Daoist, why don't we go together?"

Yu Luoning glanced at him and nodded: "Okay."

Mo Fei breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that he hadn't rashly agreed to Lu Feishuang's request.

At this moment, Lu Feishuang's composed smile crumbled. What was this all about?

She took the initiative to invite him, but Grandpa Mo didn't even give her a second glance; he was so indifferent.

Mo Fei, abandoning his usual fawning attitude towards her, spoke to the woman beside him.

When Li Yunyu entered the palace, he also chose this woman.

A mere Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator, a rogue cultivator, without any sect or faction, and with a face disfigured by poison—that's all there is to him.

Is it worth Li Yunyu and the Mohist school taking so seriously?

Could it be that she concealed her cultivation level?

Once she thought about it that way, she understood, and Lu Feishuang's expression changed slightly.

The resentment in my heart was quietly put away and replaced with friendliness.

She stepped forward, stopped beside Yu Luoning, cupped her hands in a respectful greeting, and said politely, "Fellow Daoist, since we are all going to travel together, why don't we go together?"

Yu Luoning didn't respond. These two sisters could be considered half of her rivals in love.

Especially Lu Wanying, who looks gentle and weak, but is full of clever ideas.

To associate with someone like that? Unless you're insane.

"I don't think that's necessary. I'm just a lowly Qi Refiner; how can I compare to you seventh-level Qi Refiners?"

Lu Feishuang was stunned for a moment. She hadn't even fully lowered her hands in a cupped-hand gesture when she froze on the spot, and the smile on her face seemed to crack open.

"How about it? Let's go our separate ways."

After saying that, Yu Luoning turned around and walked towards the palace gate without looking back.

Mo Fei and Mo Yuntian quickly followed.

Lu Feishuang stood still, composed herself, turned to Lu Wanying beside her, and lowered her voice: "Let's go, let's find Young Master Li and Prince Feng to go together."

Lu Wanying nodded and followed behind her. The two walked towards Feng Qiguang, and Lu Feishuang said, "Young Master Feng, would it be convenient for us to travel together from here on out? Besides, we've been traveling together before. You should know our strength; we sisters will definitely not hold you back."

Feng Qiguang glanced at her but did not answer immediately. Instead, his gaze followed the figure walking toward the palace gate.

"It's inconvenient. Beichuan and Nanchuan have always been at odds, so it's best if we keep to ourselves. The Lu and Li families are on very good terms, and I believe Young Master Li would be very willing to travel with you."

After Feng Qiguang finished speaking, he strode towards Yu Luoning.

Lu Feishuang: "..."

She took a deep breath, turned to the other side, and looked at Li Yunyu: "Young Master Li..."

"I was severely injured in the chaotic space of the palace gate, and I'm afraid I'll only become a burden to you. From now on, let's each go our own way."

Out of consideration for the Lu family, Li Yunyu didn't say anything too harsh, but the meaning behind his words was quite clear.

Li Yunyu has left.

His direction is the same as Feng Qiguang's.

Lu Feishuang stood still; most of the people in front of the palace gate had left.

Lu Wanying glanced at her secretly, but didn't dare to say anything.

Actually, she also wanted to leave alone, since there were several other prodigies here besides Li Yunyu and Feng Qiguang.

Those few prodigies were unfamiliar faces, and their backgrounds were still unclear, but each of them possessed an extraordinary demeanor.

Lu Wanying regretted it. She had been too eager to improve her strength, so she compromised and used the Baby Pill to conceive a child with merman blood.

Although the mermaid's bloodline was special, his talent was mediocre, and the benefits were far less than she had expected.

If she has the opportunity to take another Baby Pill during her upcoming trip to the secret realm and conceive a child with the blood of another prodigy, the combined talents of the two children will allow her cultivation to advance to the next level.
