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

Lu Feishuang took a sip of milk tea and was surprised by its sweet but not cloying taste.

She looked directly at Yu Luoning before speaking seriously, "He asked me to steal a Shadow Stone from you. A Shadow Stone that he values ​​so highly must hold a significant secret."

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed across Yu Luoning's eyes.

She had actually anticipated that Jiang Yuxing would make this move, and since she didn't dare to openly target her, she decided to start by targeting the people around her.

Speaking of the outer sect, she didn't have many close friends, only Lu Mingyu and Mo Fei.

Lu Feishuang is Lu Mingyu's older sister, so this was the most convenient route. She just hadn't expected Jiang Yuxing to be in such a hurry.

Yu Luoning: "When did he find you?"

"Yesterday, he asked me to finish it within three days. Judging from his reaction, he probably doesn't know that the mark on my body has been removed. He probably still thinks I'm that crazy woman who longs for him and would do anything for him."

"His mark is mysterious, but little does he know that your Great Purification Technique is even more superior. It can even generate spiritual energy to disguise itself, so unless he examines it closely, he will have no idea that the mark has been removed."

After listening, Yu Luoning chuckled softly.

This is the domineering nature of top-tier martial arts techniques.

Originally, the evolution technique wasn't this powerful, but as my cultivation improved, the evolution technique also became more refined.

Anything produced by our system is guaranteed to be of high quality.

A few breaths of silence fell over the air.

Lu Feishuang's gaze finally settled on Yu Luoning. She said:

"I've come to you today to discuss cooperation."

"The greatest humiliation I have ever suffered in my life was being branded by that bitch. I longed for him day and night for a month, like a lowly maidservant, yearning for his gaze and his favor."

"I will avenge this great humiliation. I will make that bitch die, and make her suffer a fate worse than death."

Upon hearing these words, Yu Luoning perked up completely.

Very good, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

She raised her milk tea and offered a toast to Lu Feishuang from afar.

"I like how you look today, so how about we cooperate?"

"Let's cooperate." Lu Feishuang raised her milk tea and clinked it against hers.

Yu Luoning lowered her head and took a small sip of milk tea.

She wasn't actually so foolish as to believe everything Lu Feishuang said.

She would naturally want to verify such a sudden defection.

She silently activated a spiritual awareness mantra in her heart.

The upgraded Mingxin Jue spread out quietly like a faint ripple, exposing falsehoods and lies.

What Lu Feishuang just said is true.

It seems they were truly disgusted.

Yu Luoning then became serious. "I can give you the contents of the image stone. But I need to make a copy."

Yu Luoning took out a page from her Qiankun bag; it was a copy of a spell fragment that she had obtained from the Sword Peak Library earlier that day.

"This is a copying technique that can copy the contents of a shadow stone, but it requires a cultivation level of at least Foundation Establishment. So, I'll trouble you to copy the shadow stone next."

Lu Feishuang looked at the cloning technique with a surprised expression.

I never expected Yu Luoning to possess such incomplete pages of magical techniques.

However, she immediately understood Yu Luoning's intention.

There is only one Shadow Stone, and Jiang Yuxing is keeping a close eye on it. If a copy of the original can be made and hidden away, the copy can serve as a bargaining chip, providing double protection.

Yu Luoning: "Before we make the rubbing, I advise you to be mentally prepared. If it disgusts you, I won't be responsible."

Lu Feishuang didn't take it to heart.

Yu Luoning got up and went to the inner chamber, where she took out a thumb-sized image stone from her spatial jade bracelet.

Then he took the shadow stone and handed it to Lu Feishuang.

She didn't want anyone to know the secret of the spatial jade bracelet.

Lu Feishuang took the shadow stone and examined it carefully.

He wondered what was inside this shadow stone that made Jiang Yuxing go to such lengths.

"I remember. The Replica spell requires a blank Shadowstone..."

Yu Luoning then took out twenty crystal-clear blank shadow stones from her Qiankun bag and placed them on the table. "I've prepared everything, all I need is a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"You will see everything inside the shadow stone during the engraving process. I reiterate, I am not responsible for any workplace injuries you may suffer."

Lu Feishuang scoffed, "It's alright for me to tell you. It's nothing more than that bastard Jiang Yuxing's conspiracy. Seeing it is just as good as it makes me even more determined to kill him."

Yu Luoning coughed lightly and silently turned her head away.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, let's begin."

Lu Feishuang sat cross-legged in front of the table, her fingertips condensing strands of silvery-white spiritual energy.

Her spiritual power flowed slowly into the shadow stone through her fingertips. The next instant, the shadow stone on the table glowed with spiritual light, and scenes began to leap in the void.

Making rubbings of stone is extremely mentally taxing.

Lu Feishuang stared intently at the screen, recording every single imprinted spiritual energy pattern.

Then she saw Jiang Yuxing bound hand and foot in a disheveled state in the video.

A man with unfocused eyes and a flushed face stumbled over. And so began a series of unspeakable, absurd acts.

No?

The heir to the prestigious Northern Sword Alliance is actually a rabbit?

Lu Feishuang's spiritual power trembled.

She forced herself to continue; the exploration couldn't stop, or it would all be for nothing, and she'd have to start all over again.

Lu Feishuang's face began to contort as she finally understood why Yu Luoning had reminded her twice.

She forced herself to hold back and glared fiercely at Yu Luoning.

What's going on? Her eyes are absolutely filthy.

Yu Luoning laughed so hard she clutched her stomach.

After an unknown amount of time, the last image was finally recorded.

Lu Feishuang's expression went blank; her eyes were vacant, and she was speechless.

"Ms. Lu, thank you for your hard work!"

Yu Luoning clapped his hands.

Lu Feishuang glared at her through gritted teeth: "Why didn't you just say it was this kind of scene?"

Yu Luoning blinked her innocent big eyes: "I reminded you, but you said it was fine. Besides, doesn't your sister hate him? How can we enjoy such a good thing all to ourselves? Don't waste the remaining blank image stones, carve a few more, the more the better."

It wasn't until late at night that Lu Feishuang left, sporting two large dark circles under her eyes, her back view slightly unsteady.

Yu Luoning gave her a copy to complete the task.

Being able to plant a spy next to Jiang Yuxing made Yu Luoning very happy.

As for these replicas, now is not the time to release them.

She planned to deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Yuxing once she officially entered the inner sect and had a stronger backing.

In order to keep it from Jiang Yuxing, Lu Feishuang has been frequently going to the outer sect to find Lu Mingyu these past few days, and occasionally going to Yu Luoning's place.

On the third day as stipulated by Jiang Yuxing, Lu Feishuang handed the shadow stone to him.

Jiang Yuxing exerted force with his long fingers, and the entire shimmering, iridescent stone shattered in his palm, turning into dust.

"So many tricks up your sleeve, but in the end, it's all just these few methods. Now, how am I supposed to deal with you, Luo Ning...?"

Jiang Yuxing gritted his teeth, his eyes smiling, yet filled with gloom.

Of course he checked.

The prerequisite for making a rubbing of the image stone is Foundation Establishment, and in Luo Ning's meager social circle, the only Foundation Establishment cultivator is Shi Shangxu.

That day, when he personally tested Shang Xu, that blockhead who couldn't even lie, his clear eyes revealed his utter stupidity.

If Shi Shangxu had no idea about this matter, then there would be no second backup in the world.

Indeed, given her level of cultivation and background from a barren land, she probably wouldn't even know that shadow stones could be replicated.

Jiang Yuxing realized he had been overly cautious.

Having resolved this concern, he intended to launch a revenge attack against Yu Luoning.

Cao Jinglei had died silently at the outer gate.

Even though Cao Jinglei held the position of steward in the outer sect, he didn't make a ripple at all due to Jiang Yuxing's powerful background.

"Any progress on what you're supposed to do?"

Jiang Yuxing looked down at a weasel-faced inner sect servant.

A cold sweat broke out on the man's back. He chuckled awkwardly, "Reporting to Senior Brother Jiang. I have mobilized all my connections to investigate that female cultivator's background, searching through hundreds of towns and villages in the east. Finally, heaven rewards those who persevere. A rogue cultivator said that he had seen that female cultivator before."

Jiang Yuxing: "Speak!"

"Phoenix Perch Town. That female cultivator is from Phoenix Perch Town." The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced man asserted.

"As expected, coming from a poor, remote place lacking spiritual energy, no wonder he has a bad temper."

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Jiang Yuxing's lips.
